Fraudman where in the real world are you going to find a beast on special teams that can play LB? Big target WR? People like this that CAN PLAY are not unemployed at this time of year

There was NOTHING blanketed about it. 3 of the 6 interceptions (read: HALF) were the receivers’ fault. Hell, McCoy has doubled his number of fumbles in two games y.o.y, and do you wanna address all of the dropped passes? Do I need to force feed your football to you through a straw? Or can I assume that with only two games under our belts you know which plays Im talking about?

Pman…. i wonder what Mathews would give us because i think he’s better than what we’ve seen from him… however… i would agree with you that we need help in other spots. The biggest need is on the Oline. I would actually like to see us pull off a trade for an Olineman from somewhere but i dont think that will happen anytime soon. Any of Mudd’s boys retired but ready? haha

Yes Yes Yes….give Polk some touches! After McCoy, he is my favorite back on the squad! Shit I still haven’t been that impressed with Havili, let Folk take some snaps at FB, or be creative put Polk and McCoy on the field at the same time, work out the split back formation a bit more…

3 Roster Changes I would like to see moving forward

#1) Release Dion Lewis and Activate RB C Polk and play Polk
#2) Release LB Matthews Jr and sign another Special Team Demon who can play LB as well
#3) Bring in a big-Target WR– Maclin is hurting and will probably not be anywher near 100% for the next 4-6 weeks and possible the remainder of the Season.. D-Jax/D Johnson are too small and ineffective in the Red-Zone
Cooper and Gilyard are still unproven (though I like Gilyard) or maybe they can split out TE Harbor more and use double TE’s Sets a lot once in the Red-Zone

Castillo has done a nice job as has Secondary Coach T Bowles who has a more aggressive style and attacking Secondary.. And of course it definitely helps having NFL Caliber Talent at 2 of the LB Positoins (Ryans/Kendricks) instead of 6 Back-up calibber players starting and switching roles..
There is no denying that all the players are tackling much better and that Cox,Kendricks & Boynkin all bring a special energy to the field and Ryans is keeping these guys lined up right and pumped.. .Ryans has really impressed in his first 2 games thus far and is making a huge difference

I wanted Juan gone. I complained all last year and this off season that he doesnt know what he’s doing, While i reserve the right to go back to my position at a later date, i want to give Juan a HUGGEEEEE attaboy for his work so far this season. This system makes sense and they are using their talents to maximize it. The key has been the tackling, much much better than last year. In fact….. better than any D we have had in at least 5 years.

Vinnie….stop harping on the qb…hes drove us the lenght of the field twice in as many weeks for the dub. You sound like a clown with this stuff. Noone cares anymore about you Vick hater,hes our qb. Deal with it and jump on board. We’re goin to the p-offs. And dare i say..he plays 16…hes protecting himself more…or have you not noticed that?

No QB likes getting hit
We are going in with 2 replacements on an already less than stellar O Line and the Cardinals have a great defense
Vick is going to get bounced around for the 3rd straight week

Unfortunately the screen play suffers under Vick as does the quick 3 step drop

Run the rookies more
