i know alot have been down on this draft. the profesional analysts i spit on them for a few reasons.
1. 5 years ago when we drafted mike williams and the rest of them bums of the 2001 draft we got praised on espn. how did that turn OUT!!!!!
2. that same draft i clearly remember the bengles getting killed for their first round pick LEVI JONES. well i dont think there is one person on this board who wouldnt trade mike williams for levi jones . in fact i dont think anyone in minnesota who would nt trade bryant mckinnie for levi jones.
3. we got ridiculed for drafting mcgahee by media while henry on team. well come first week in septemebr henry might be a 3rd string RB on the titans.
so back to my being pumped. i believe we are 1-11 vs the pats over the last 6 years.
IMO a HUGE reason for that besides our offensive issues was...
serious matchup problems in our secondary when they spread us out. how many times do we all remember brady coming out 3-5 wr and shreding us down the field with 1 or both safeties being clueless on a brady 30 yard strike. or them coming out in some crazy 2 wr formation making one shift and immediately our SS or nickel CB being lost on an island.
MARV and CO did what IMO was the smartest thing they could have done this weekend BESIDES taking D"brick in first round.
THEY said we are matching up with the patriots and will no longer be schemed agst and no longer have personal to combat it.
i think marv and co drafted based on what D needs and more importantly drafted to get what we need to have a chance to beat the pats
and while i think NATE and MCGEE are excellent CBs and i think Vincent is a solid FS once we got into nickel DIME we got exposed becuz milloy couldnt help back there our nickel and dime cbs have been not good.
must i remind that vincent is 36 and that clements becuz oif the tag might be gone sooner then later.
no the bills DIDNT grab a franchise O lineman i wish they would have but there wasnt any there so they did the next best thing
THEY FINALLY SET OUR D UP TO MATCHUP WITH PATS and i HATE to SAY it that 4th QUARTER WITH PHINS TO MATCHUP WITH THEM TOO!!!
GOOD WORK MARV
