Is anyone else having a hard time getting overly excited about the defense knowing Brady wasn't in?

hunt · August 23, 2008, 08:07:23 AM

defense w/ dawk is solid...no worries.
defense w/o dawk & w/ consadine starting...

and is there any chance klecko makes the team? he seemed to be all over the field last night.

Well, judging from past history and what we've seen in preseason, I personally think they're going to give up at least two sustained point scoring drives during most games and they're likely going to allow at least 17 points per game. Not much more but not much less either. A tremendous offense might riddle this bunch, though, and yeah, that worries me a lot.

Klecko is and always has been a solid and unspectacular football player which is exactly what Reid loves. I'd say he makes the team.

Rome · August 23, 2008, 08:10:59 AM

I'd rather have his old man in his prime on the team.

rjs246 · August 23, 2008, 08:11:27 AM

REALLY?!?!

Rome · August 23, 2008, 08:12:05 AM

And by the way, I honestly don't know how you can live surrounded on all sides by Bostonians day in and day out. How in hell haven't you gone on a murderous rampage yet?

Good God those people are douchebags.

rjs246 · August 23, 2008, 08:14:58 AM

If I had gone on a murderous rampage it wouldn't be very smart of me to post about it on a public internet forum, now would it?

PhillyGirl · August 23, 2008, 08:20:23 AM

I'm thinking high ankle sprain for Dawk and 2-4 weeks...after hearing its not broken, I am preparing for a worse off case than normal.

Right - like anyone would put you in prison for killing Boston fans.

Fair point.

ice grillin you · August 23, 2008, 08:36:33 AM

is there anything better in the world than wanting a player so bad getting him and then him becoming a stud right before your eyes

pimp jackson = greatest eagle ever

anyone notice that joe mays looks like hes in his 40's

Diomedes · August 23, 2008, 08:40:12 AM

Dawk is older than Mays looks...he's gonna take a long time rehabbing.

Rome · August 23, 2008, 08:41:19 AM

I showed my wife Jackson's highlights this morning and she said, "isn't that the little guy you were screaming about during the draft?"

Um, yep.

It's just preseason and I don't want to get all Extremeskins here, but goddamn it he's looked like the real deal. I especially like how much Donovan has looked his way.

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 23, 2008, 08:52:17 AM

He's only the 3rd WR that Donovan has had the opportunity to throw to that gets separation from defensive backs more often than not.

TO
Stallworth
DJack

It's gotta be nice for a QB to know that his guy will get open, at least by a little bit.
