    Wimbley just took a giant pay cut. Do not think it is a money thing. If it was a money thing then Wimbley would have played a lot more last year.

    Well even last year Phillips was trash on run plays. he's great on 3rd downs, his experience and agility are his biggest assets.

    I can see that Phillips might be best suited to a specialist role like he was at the beginning of his career, but I think Whisenhunt and Horton are giving last year's starters benefit of doubt for now.

    Philips is not an every down player at this point. He is a pass rush specialist.

    Perhaps. Though why is Wimbley starting over Akeem Ayers? Ayers was a starter. Not Wimbley.

    I guess it's that Ayers is trending down. Seems to have lost a lot of confidence. At least before, he and Wimbley weren't competing for the same position. Now they are, and they've added Shaun Phillips to the mix, both of whom have way more experience in the 3-4. Might be the best thing for Ayers right now. Let him come in and rotate and learn and maybe get his confidence up. Also means we likely won't be giving him a big contract whether he stays or not.

    Put your money where your mouth is, chode.

    Spare me the "I don't make bets with random people online." You'll make all these stupid statements, but you know when money is on the line there's no way in hell you believe any of the garbage that comes out of your own mouth.

    I'm not going to make any real assumptions, comments or suggestions until after week 1. It can not get here soon enough.

    McCourty is a dog and I love his game, but Haden is a top 3 corner.

    ( insert JCBRAVE stats that don't really matter to prove your point from a site you paid for that you love to show off )

    Lol seriously tho, Haden is a better corner then J-Mac.


    Also, I was one of those who wanted Ward over Pollard this offseason. But that might be the closer comparison.


    Overall our defense is going to be just fine. Top 5.

    Morgan is going to finally show why he was a 1st round pick, Wimbley will also have a nice year.

    Casey is going to be getting that $$$ after this season.

    Brown hopefully turns the corner with Woodyard and Phillips mentoring him and showing him how to be a professional.

    McCourty will have a quiet but productive season. Per usual.

    Quiet as in playing good but not getting his recognition.

    Pollard will be Pollard. Just a year older.

    I'm excited to see this defense.

    I don't think we are a playoff team but considering outside of 04/05 this team has NEVER finished amongst the worst in the league AND we have a better coaching staff there is little reason to believe we won't be around an 8-8 team like usual.

    It's not like losing AltV is going to make our defense fall apart. True the adjustment to the 3-4 could cause that, but I don't see that a likely scenario.


    And I don't believe you. Clearly if you were a fan before you have now become a jaded lovebird of the former TN primadonnas and can't quit them.
