You forget two points : (1) We have new players at three positions, and (2) We changed our blocking scheme.

Realistically, we started back at square one and it will take two full seasons and three training camps before they begin to really master the new blocking.

Mistake? Maybe. But it was a coaching decision we have to live with.

We have four picks in the first three rounds of this next draft. Two of these need to be a Center and a Guard. They probabably will not play much in '05 but may be ready by '06.

What did you do, jwillis, get drunk and forget what thread you're posting on?

As for Green Bay's field, it is basically painted dirt, but that is in Green Bay, Wisconsin in January, for cripes sake. So why is there painted 'mud' in Houston, Texas?

And yes, the field in Relaint should look, and feel, like the ones in Miami and Arizona.

I remember talk of converting the Astrodome next door into a green house. What if the Dome was used as a place to grow the grass and then have it shifted next door to Reliant using the tray system.
