Jeff Schultz's lucid comment


Our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe

I actually agree with some of the Snarky Jeff Schultz column when he says,
"I will grant you that I missed the last few issues of the New England Journal of Medicine. (Still working my way through the swimsuit issue.) But since when do rehabs from ankle injuries elevate somebody’s skill level?"
Personally, I don't see Joe T as the savior of the offense by virtue of a great talent infusion. I don't think the offense needs a talent infusion. It needs someone to step up and make the types of plays they are capable of making.

-- Dan Inman for all his flaws as a pass blocker is a very capable run blocker.
-- Mo Mass for all his drops this year showed last year that he's capable of making big plays at WR.
-- Chester Adams showed in the first three games that he has solid ability. Since his bout with stomach ulcers, his play has gone south. If he's healthy, he can make more plays on offense.

We need guys like that to just step up and make the sorts of plays they are capable of making. If they do, our running game will open up by virtue of better blocking, and our passing game will open up by virtue of the return of our most consistent WR from last year.

If they do step up, the defense is good enough to make the game close at the end and give us a shot.

If Joe T can will the players around him to snap out of their funks, then start him. If he can't do that...then we're in big trouble on Saturday. Sigh..if we only had JD Stokley.
