lostfan Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) Really, you wouldn't put Baltimore in that group? They lost Ogden, Clayton was a big disappointment last year, Mason's up and down, and their qb group is even more questionable than the Bears'. And you forgot Dallas... Mark my words - New England is going to be legendary bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) I think that's a tough sell. KC, Buffalo, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, and Baltimore are all pretty awful. Buffalo has a solid year last year. Marshawn Lynch is an absolute monster, and Trent Edwards showed promise toward the end of the year. Lee Evans is a viable #1 WR, and they just added "sure thing" 1st round WR James Hardy out of Indiana in the 2nd round. Also, I understand ATL still has no OL (although they did trade up to get Sam Baker out of USC), and Matt Ryab WILL be an upgrade over Joey Harrington, and they added Michael Turner. But yeah, KC is bad and so are the Ravens and Dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling Lynch an absolute monster in terms of being a solid football player...or in terms of being "An absolute monster" of a person?

Especially if you watched the games half the time it wasnt even Harrington's fault. Plus, even though he was old, Dunn did a very solid job for the Falcons and who knows how Turner will be when he isnt behind a good San Diego Oline and behind Tomlinson.

CanOfCorn Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Yes it was a nothing offense, but that doesn't mean it was a nothing offense in the eyes of the team. After the Tank situation, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they sat Benson down and said "This is your only warning, you're on probation, we're not cutting you for this, but we don't want to see you doing anything else that could put yourself in jeopardy. You don't have to break the law, we don't want you being caught without a DD somewhere, or being caught out late at night, or anything." I personally wouldn't have cut him had I not told him that, but if you sat him down, told him that you had a zero tolerance policy for anything, and then 2 weeks later he's caught doing exactly what he promised he wouldn't do, then the team would have no choice. Don't know if this was said later in the thread, but this second offense seriously tanks his argument that he was pulled out on Lake Travis just because he was there, or whatever his argument was going to be. That's the problem I would have if I were the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
