Okay...we're 1/8th of the season into it. No reason to sound the alarm just yet. I agree that letting Chris Palmer was good for several reasons. Primarily because it sends a message that the honeymoon is over. Provide results or GET OUT.
I think that message was needed.
However, David Carr and Andre will definitely pick things up. You don't play a sport all of you teen-age & adult life...earn the honor of being a first-round pick..and then lay an egg for the season.
Will people just get off of Carr. If he had protection, his reads would improve and his QB rating would be higher. And being honest, I really can't say I like our chances against the fired-up Bungles. Chad Johnson will burn our DB's unless we get some heat on Carson. THAT'S YOU, front 7! I look for Shantae Orr to have a break out game! Mark my words! Baring injury, I don't look for him to leave the starting line-up all year.
To answer the original question...I think AJ and Carr will definitely pick it up. I'm not going to start Carr until he shows me something...but you got to start AJ.
I'm out like Babin on the 1st team D.
