I remember people being pissed after the 1st few games of Jefferson last year that we traded away Diggs.....impatient.
Lots of changes on the Oline, lots of changes on the Defense....hope to see improvements each week that lead to wins...that is the key.
I resolutely believe that things can improve.
Not that you would notice or care, but I have been saying for weeks if not months that all the changes would take time to coalesce.
My first comment Monday after the CIN game was essentially, this doesn't tell us who we are as a team yet.
Again, my bitching and moaning are directed at the regime's half-assed methodology towards the OL. The results speak for themselves.
DL bad last year? OK ... even with all world Hunter and top 2020 fa signing Pierce returning, lets add Tomlinson, Richardson, Weatherly, Griffen and draft Jones and Robinson.
OL bad last year? OK ... lets draft an OT early to replace our 2nd best OL (who we let walk) and throw a middle round G at Dozier Bradbury Cleveland ... and we'll be good.
Do you not see the disparity?
Its nobody's fault that Darrisaw has a lingering injury ... its probably nobody's fault that the injury was missed in the pre-draft process ...
It is nobody's fault but our own that after missing TC and going in for a second procedure, we did nothing to increase depth or competition at the LT position.
Last year Hunter goes on IR and we grab Ngakoue ... Darrisaw goes down and we put Zack freakin' Bailey on the practice squad.
It isn't always just directed at you.
Darrisaw won't be gone long enough to put on the IR so who do you want to cut right now and replace? Most of the line is pretty young so they chose to go that route instead of grabbing older guys (Kyle Long) that are injury risks.
No ofcourse not, but since you had a follow on post directly related to the exchange we were having ... I responded from my point of view.
I forget how short your attention span is.
Usually when you aren't quoted there is a reason.....it isn't directed at you. Maybe it is the opposite and you want attention?
FYI, the opposite of a short attention span is a long attention span. Not a need for attention.
Also, are you suggesting we should only respond to posts that quote or address us directly?
We argued ... you posted ... I wasted my time trying to give you a full response because you had already seen a squirrel and bolted in a different direction.
No biggie.
Nah; there is a reason I quit quoting you. Digs at anyone who doesn't agree with you. I don't agree with your opinion so it is over at that point.
I don't 'dig' at everyone who doesn't agree with me ... there are a lot of posters that hold opposite opinions to where I come from ... that I respect, that I enjoy debating with ... some that have digged and some I have thrown digs at.
this site would suck without the differences of opinion and different angles.
If I feel attacked ... or get frustrated with someone being intentionally or unintentionally obtuse ... yes, I can over-react and put them down ... wish I didn't take it so personally, wish I was more successful trying to be above that.
I'll leave it and you at that.
