Joe Thomas

I would never bitch about that draft.
Wasn't even mad about taking Quinn, as we weren't picking him to start right away.
-
I for one will be the first to say that I was pissed when we didnt draft AP. I just didnt know a lot about Thomas. fast forward to now and it was a great pick
Looking back at it you have
2nd pick Megatron- HOF Might end up being best WR in the History in the NFL
3rd pick Joe Thomas could end up with 10 Pro Bowls and HOF
7th pick Peterson- almost 9000 yards rushing, HOF and will end up being a top 5 back in NFL history
12th pick M Lynch 6142 yards 42 TDs STUD
23rd pick D Bowe- What if he had a QB
Thats it for Offense in the draft in 07 that is worth anything. We had no chance at Megatron and Lynch and Bowe would have been a reach with the third pick.....This post is about the morons waqnting us to trade Joe

Who ever says anything bad about this pick doesn't know shit about football. Step away from the keyboard and go play Madden.

exactly! how would AP run behind our line (back then)?
Line play on both sides of the ball is where it all starts!
BTW- did you ever see how much time the line typically gave Weeden to check all
recievers .... and he stilll threw picks???

Imagine Brady or Manning with our line and WR for that matter. We would be in the Playoffs. I know he's a rookie, but that excuse will go out the window week 1 next year.
Haslem, please sign Lovie Smith. Everyone on the Bears loved that dude and gave it their all (except for Culter, who is the biggest bitch in the NFL). Hester is thinking about retiring.

Smith would be a good choice but he got canned for never being able to produce a legitimate offense and I think we need a guy more offensive minded.
As for Chip Kelly, I'd be surprised if this zone-read whatever the fuck it is thing he does lasts in the NFL for very long and the QBs that run it will last even less.
And why would we even need Chip Kelly if that's the direction they want to go. Any innovative coach can implement parts of the college games offense into their scheme, it's not like it's a system reserved strictly for college coaches to use.

zone blocking is used on teams where Shanahan is or was....
He used it in Denver, ( Kubiak probably brought to Houston)
and now in Washington DC. All his RB's had alot of success with it.
Not sure if Kellys creative offense is any different or just a typical hybrid?
-
I think maybe you are confusing zone read and zone blocking.
Afaik zone read is a spread,option type offense and zone blocking is offensive lineman blocking a designated zone rather than man 2 man.
I'm all for zone blocking, I'm a big fan and yep it turns water into wine as far as running backs are concerned.
Rick Dennison, OC of the Texans is a guy I would think should be a HC candidate but I guess maybe he just isn't HC material.
He worked his way up in Denver under Shannahan,Kubiak and Alex Gibbs.

thx for clearing that up for me..
-
Is there really anybody out there criticising the use of our first pick for a sure HOF in that draft?
-
Yeah we can't run for shit because of our left tackle...hmm..when we had Steinbach and Vickers we somehow made the piece of shit that was Peyton Hillis look like a pro-bowler..but let's blame our LT when we have shit at the guard positions and FB

Joe Thomas... HOF?
LMAO. Funniest fucking thing on this board, yet.

Steve Hutchinson was a firstteam AllPro G until Kalil was drafted. Minnesota in 2009 had 10 pro bowlers and 4 all-pros, both league highs.
Good teams are always built inside-out, especially today where OL/DL/QB are always the key for winning teams.
If skill players win, the Cowboys would be going for their third straight SB title this year.

Wow you're dumb and an asshole. You win!

@king-ghoolie-lives said:
LMAO oh yeah, man, the Vikings OL is LOADED with great, HOF type picks. LMAO.
The RB, WRs and QB make the line.
Actually, YES, the Viking OL is Loaded....in fact, their RT is a guy named Loadholt...and he is a load....and outstanding player.
And note....the Vikings used their #3 overall pick on a LT name Ryan Kalil....and he has made a big difference with AP running the ball.

Thanks for pointing that out to Ghoolie regarding the Vikings. Kalil was drafted high first round, their OL is loaded with top performers. You're never going to get it through Ghoolie thick head LT is generally considered the 3rd most important position on the team- because he protects a right handed qb from getting blindsided. Stud LTs get drafted high EVERY freaking year. Like I told Ritchie-poo in another thread- you think Rotlisbooger will last much longer playing behind a crap offensive line? BTW, there goes his argument. Rothlisbooger, Mendenhall, Wallace. All top "skill" players. All sitting at home watching the playoffs. And what's the primary reason for that? The Steeler offensive line sucked. It's the same reason- due to about a bazillion OL injuries, the Eagles stunk it up- even with "skill" Pro Bowlers like Macklin and Lesean McCoy who couldn't do squat. Cost Reid his job, too.
