A playoff birth. Everyone here knows that I'm very realistic about my posts and predictions here. Here's my logic:
1) LTBF gets credit for bringing this to my attention. The fact that we had Whitner and Simpson essentially play a whole season as rookies is HUGE. These guys will be great next year.
2) I admit that I had left TKO for dead. The last few weeks of the season he started making plays and tackles. Not meaningless Fletcher tackles but play making tackles. I think he'll comeback next year and have a significant contribution, especially with the certain departure of Fletcher.
3) Our OL is certainly going to be better. They have turned the corner from "massively blowing" before the bye to "we can build on this". We are 2 players away here from being "really good".
4) JP will be better in 2007. I had my $1,000 bet for 7 wins this year. My new $1,000 bet for 2007 is that JP will have better numbers this coming season. The first 7 games of 2006 were lost on teaching him how to play the position and keeping him locked between the tackles. In 2007 JP will become a true offensive weapon. If he gets a real #2 receiver the offense will be scary good.
5) I have to believe that Marv watched us get run over all year. We couldn't suck anyomre against the run. No way that Marv doesn't address this in the offseason. Just like so many thought that Peters should be a left tackle I believe that Hargrove will be a DE next year and that there will be massive changes on the DL. Marv had a great draft but McCargo might be his only "iffy" pick. I expect him to add some more players in the middle for sure.
