Then again, maybe we can pull it off.... Who knows? I want to see Harrison and Davis play really badly. Against my better judgment I have high hopes.

Well, the other Ryan is having a blast with the other team Mangini built. Don't you think you're over-reacting a little bit too early?

Barry Sanders is another good example.

Of course they also prove that running does not necessarily set up the pass. You have to have a competent QB and receivers, too.

AP is a superfreak for sure but you get my point. 8 in the box for 60 minutes typically ends up in a convincing loss.

BE is the biggest problem we have when he rarely does catch the ball he doesnt get yards after the catch unless the defender slips ..its time to give MoMass a shot our guys cant get seperation they cant even shake the defenders its like the old 80s nintendo madden football only every team is like the giants with LT and glove cover the browns WRs...

We are going to get rocked hard in this game...im already sick of mangina's/dumboll's and even ryans pathetic weekly lies coverup and kool-aid and im not drinking it...dumboll keeps talking about their great system and how the players need better execution within it but if you look at the film theres nothing available to execute bq will have to throw into coverage period because our guys are almost always covered like a glove over a hand...our WRs have no real gifts so now BQ must play high risk ball like DA has been doing and we have to hope he has better luck than DA has had...

Not only do these amazing WRs not catch well but they do a poor job of keeping defenders away from the ball and they are bad blockers as well or should i say they put no effort into blocking hence we never really break one on the ground or air...

We need a new batch of WRs but i question this regimes ability to deliver star quality at this position...

@brownindian said:

Maybe that is the answer, play Shaun Rogers at RB. I'll bet that Ray Lewis would love to take on Rogers head to head. That would eliminate one problem.

Let's see what Harrison and Davis have.

Those are our only backs?

Crap, hey maybe i'll start Harrison on my FF, Not.

Let's see what Harrison and Davis have.

I disagree - Peterson has NEVER had a passing game worth a crap in Minn. You can line the entire team up in the box and the guy still breaks tackles, outruns people, and makes plays.

Barry Sanders is another good example.

Of course they also prove that running does not necessarily set up the pass. You have to have a competent QB and receivers, too.

@wpb-dawg-fan said:

The fact Womack is out and Fraley will start at RG doesnt bode well either.

@brownindian said:

Exactly we have some of the tallest WR's/TE's in the league and all of these guys can jump! Brady just play Bball allyoop to our big guys. Its somethin DA does well with BE.

@legacy-fan said:

And given recent *ahem* events, I don't see Mangini fudging injury reports for a while.

Granted, I am excited to see Jerome carry the load for the day.

He's fun to watch but he isn't very productive at all. Plus, he's fragile. Jerome will get injured. I like the guy, but he will get hurt. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we have a few injuries this week.

@lemosley01 said:

No worries! And just for the record, I'm the guy that consistently says that neither QB will be on our roster for the start of the 2011 season...........Far from a DAleghumper!!

@d-bone said:

Wrong guy, my apologies. I was thinking of 82Ozzie82. You DA leghumpers all start to blend together after a while.

@hiwaygal said:

Jamal could be ready to play on Sunday.

I'd like to see more of Harrison and a few others...more options with RB and the defense may have a harder time choosing who to block every damn play.

Lewis has sat out all 3 practices this week per several sources.

Unless we trade our Offense for N.O offense then we would lose every game this year if we did that. The only way we have a chance is to keep it close (by eating up clock... Hint- running game) until the 4th quarter, get some turnovers,convert 3rd downs and then maybe it falls our way.

@brownindian said:

We are currently ranked 28th in the NFL in passing and 27th rushing. Honestly, its like choosing between a stick and a rock when you are fighting a tank. Either way you still get rolled over.

@bonedawg said:

BE did catch some nice throws and .... ahem ... we are facing the no 1 rush defense. do the math (hyundai style)

@brownindian said:

Yeah the passing game has been a real strength of our offense so far. You know what they say, "If it ain't broke...oh, wait...sigh"
