1. We can win today ... were not that far away ... WE WEREN'T ONCE EVERYONE HEALED UP after the season was over ...
I have no clue how u or anyone else considers this a re-build .. NONE WHAT SO EVER ...
we've released, traded or let two players of value go ...
one was an injured one dimensional a-hole that we got compensation for .. and we also signed someone to "fill" his spot ..
the other on was Jones ... and pool will move over and be given a shot to see how he does there ... Pool is a much better SS than FS ... we have not however found a FS yet ...
we have also slightly upgraded our pass rush and ST's with Bowens ..
we have also slightly upgraded our ILB position with Barton over Davis ..
everyone else has pretty much been a BUM for BUM switch ....
these are not earth shattering or major upgrades ... but there upgrades none the less .. and U can say DITTO for the losses ... we lose sumptin with Jones no longer being here ... we lose sumptin IF Joe is healthy and can contribute .. he is a BIG LOSS ... IF and only IF he can play (and u agreed with that move .. so it should be a non factor in your re-build BS ....
) ,,,,,
and even though we lose alot in the recieving department without KW we also gain quite a bit in the blocking dept. and still have a decent pick coming for him ..
its been pretty much an UNEVENTFUL off season .. yet u say its a re-build??? HOG WASH ... just cause we did not make any significant pick ups in a THIN ASSED FA MARKET is not a reason COMBINED with what else we did to call it a re-build ..
WE CAN WIN NOW ... and I mean 10 games this year .... were not that far away from where we were in 07 and that team did just that ...
2. Opie did a decent job here ... U and other are forgetting he basically had 3 years to RE-BUILD and aquire his core players ... of course teams like Pitt and NE are going to have many many more than we do ... there going back 5OR 6 MORE YEARS RTHAT WE ARE ... they have players they aquired 4, 5 and up to 10 years ago .... THEY SHOULD BE MUCH DEEPER and have a bigger core group ..
also only going back 3 eyars means your going to have QUESTION MARKS due to youth .. they've only been in the league 1, 2 or 3 years ... *L* ..
just sumptin to those that do not like spin classes to chew on ..
