Cheap and Sad is all i can say to those comments, we have been 7-9 for 3 yrs and we are still promoting from within and keeping guys who are clearly overmatched on the roster, please go 0-4 so DJ gets fired and we can start rebuidling again
TO signing was nothing more than to sell tickets here and in Toronto nothing more
If these commments hold true then this organization has no intentions of winning
Sad so sad

How can you fix it if you don't think it's broken.

Jauron is not the kind of guy to throw anyone under the bus. let alone one of his own players.

“We’re in pretty good shape,” Jauron said of the offensive line.

On Keith Ellison

“Keith is our starter,” Jauron said. “He’s done a really nice job for us whenever he’s stepped in and played. He’s very smart, very athletic, a tough guy and a great teammate.

On Donte

“Donte has played well at both positions, strong and free.

The fact is... as of right now, he is our starter. FA isn't over and there is still a draft. Im pretty sure he isn't going to name Clint Sintim the starter at OLB for us just yet.

As noble as that is it is also one of his biggest downfalls.

Re: Scarey Comments by Dick

Some of it is coachspeak. Like it or not, we're not replacing Whitner no matter what. And we may or may not be able to upgrade the OL or the LB position. If we fail to do so, the last thing Jauron wants to do is destroy the confidence of the guys we have. He's not going to publicly criticize them, and I'd be surprised (and VERY disappointed) if these comments reflected his true opinions.

At the same time, he could be priming the fans for the fact that we won't be upgrading....

Can anyone imagine Vince Lombardi talking like that?

Vince Lombardi didn't live in an age of 24 hour sports networks.

If history tell us anything that is exactly what he is doing, priming us up for disappointment
I have been saying all along that we will stand pat at DE cause of the money we have tied up with the underperforming whiteboys
We will be looking at HOPEFULLY OLB at 11 and LG at 42
sad we are going to go into the draft needing 4-5 starters hope we are not done and add some FAs still but it sure doesnt look that way

Smart post.

As for Ellison he is simpley horrible. I watched him play last year and he was one of the slowest players on the field.

How anyone can believe that this guy is somehow a starter is mind boggling.

Chambers at RG is less scary than Ellison on the field.

I simply like coaches who speak more openly, and are not so politically correct. If Jauron were successful, I wouldn't mind his meek and mild approach so much. But he's not, and his "wouldn't say s**t if he had a mouthful" routine is wearing thin.

No doubt. I wouldn't mind seeing a Jim Mora Sr. type rant right about now.

Ellison is not a playmaker but he is certainly not horrible. He is a smart, sound football player that can cover in space. There is a reason our defense was ranked 14th overall despite the big plays or dominance. Ellison is a perfect example of it, smart sound defense, but nothing that will force a situation or create.
