I especially loved the "Trust me. In 3 to 4 years nobody will be calling Carr or Harrington a bust." If you don't know what I am talking about you have to watch the video clip TC links in her blog post.

I googled this and it is hilarious how many times him being an idgit comes up.

You know what would be really funny if someone was handy with video and audio.
Getting old clips like this where you get the draft guys repeatedly saying stuff that is crazy fortune telling, and then do some sort of trance/rave dance track in the background.
Sort of like the Jim Rome "lunch with the monkey" song.

Now that would be hilarious!!There would be years of them grading guys like Zach Thomas, DeMeco and other productive college LBs saying, "he doesn't quite have the size or the speed to be a starter and will caught up in traffic."
Jaworski breaks down Carr and Harrington and both have checked strengths as "pocket presence."
i also love that Dave doesn't really feel comfortible putting the hat on all the way...like the locks might get messed up. The commish even pulls it up some.

Speaking of idiotic analysts, one of my favorites is Gene Wojciechowski's takes on the Texans selecting Mario. Here's the first:

And a few more in his '06 predictions: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=2744346
Surprisingly, he's stuck to other topics since then.

As much as I want to like what you're saying... I just don't believe they're moving Molden to saftey. If we wanted a saftey in the third we would have drafted one. Molden and Bennett I believe are our future at CB, which means Dunta is either going to move to saftey or he's gone as soon as his contract is up.
I bet we'll either draft a corner in the first, or pay big for a FA Corner in next years off-season..... maybe both.
Dunta is a hell of a football player. I love watching that little fella lay the wood. But he's not a very good corner. He's not "elite" & he's definitely not a cover corner. He plays as well as most corners in this league. But he's a first round pick, and most of the corners in this league aren't.
I've got to believe he's still a big part of this team, because he is passionate about this game and winning, & he's one of the few real leaders we've got.
Now, I could be wrong. Ray Rhodes may be just what he needs. Dunta has the talent to be elite, but he doesn't play very smart.

I like you, am hoping the new coaches can come in and make a difference.

Shhhh--let's just let that stay your little secret since the 31 QB's, HC's and OC's we face haven't figured that out and consistently try to avoid him. Stupid them.
No he is not Champ Bailey as some folks like to make him out, but he is a very good corner.
Carr Bombed

WHAT??? one of Dunta's biggest problems is that he's too much of a cover corner........he doesn't play the ball as much as he should. He plays the receiver and does a great job at it. Look at Fred Bennett, that's a guy that's not near as good at playing the receiver, but he does play the ball and with his size he gets picks.
Seriously though, Dunta before injury last year was a top tier "cover" corner, the guy was playing great pro bowl level football..........just wasn't getting the picks, but then again when you have Petey "burn my ass" Faggins and then a untested rookie takes over........how many times are you really going to have a chance to pick a ball.
Your really selling Dunta short, I mean if your looking for a "shut down corner"..........they don't exist, even Champ Bailey had his "salad tossed" last season.
Or maybe they saw that the other side was even worse..

Let me let you in on a little secret--QB's will look for open guys--other than those wearing mittens. I know it's a stretch but schlocks like Manning will find open guys on "not very good corners" and go after them. Like I said, he isn't Bailey or Sanders but he is an above average CB and far from "not very good."

What? He may not be a truly "great" cover corner, but I would put him right in that next tier of very good throughout his career, and last year he was awfully close to great in my book. I will admit he was off his game just a bit in 2006, I would call him merely good that year. But last year he was back to very good and getting better when he got injured. And he is an elite run playing corner. Yes, he can get better at playing the ball, but to say he is not a very good cover corner defies all common sense or logic. Last year, I would say was easily one of the best 10 corners in the league prior to his injury all in all. Do you watch the games?

The only flaw I can find is he tends to body block instead of wrap up and form tackle. But there is no fierce run player pound for pound than Robinson on the Texans roster. Pound for pound he is a terrific in traffic and on the edge. I know of no other corner back in the NFL who holds the corner on a running play like Robinson. Can't think of one.
