atxcoolguy said:Do you not believe that players improve as time goes by and that offensive and defensive units who play together get better. Look at our top 3 on Offense. Carr has improved every year. Johnson has improved every year. Davis has improved ever year. This applies to alot of the team as well. This is the NFL and if you don't improve, you get cut. as for defensive linemen, i guess you didn't read my whole post where i answered some questions. The Dline this year will be the healthiest since the first season. Payne and Walker are both fully healthy and ready to go. We got the top Lineman in the draft to replace anybody who goes down, its not our weakest spot. I wouldn't see why Babin wouldn't improve over last season and having Peek in there will give us some moe pass rush. As for Carr rolling out prior to this preseason, i really haven't noticed Carr doing that much in the past. have you been watching the ames or what. He usually does a 3-5 step drop, not a big rollout QB. So much pessimism so early in the preseason. we haven't even really got a glimpse of what the season will bring. i know every one says wait until the season starts, but some of the things you're saying are so far off. I just really don't know why you think the whole team is going to regress so much.
I am pessismistic, because we didnt improve our two weakest areas over the offseason. We lost the two veteran leaders of our defense, and replaced them with unproven young players in an already young defense. I think the defense will be worse than last year, and i dont see how the offense will improve over last year.
Like I said, hopefully I am wrong. But I dont see any teams being over .500 with one of the top5 worst offensive lines in the league.
Edit: And yes I watched every game last season as well as being at four of them including the cleveland browns game. Its hard to have any optimism when the cleveland browns defensive line dominated us....
And the wonderful fans start screaming at Carr to throw the ball downfield and I wanted to shove my foot down their throats. I am sorry, but our offensive line is pathetic. PATHETIC.
Get that man some help so he isnt running for his life every f***ing down, or give him a chance to look at someone besides his primary and then immediately to the check down. The statement I hear over and over is that this offensive line just needs experience. No, what this offensive line needs is some new faces. I would prefer to have Carr healthy and around for the length of a long career. Not an injury plagued career.
