Well they're back to a 4-3 again!
RDE Tommy Kelly (wtf! I wanted to see this guy start, but in Sapp's spot! and why did we sign that scrub Derrick Burgess anyhow!)
UT Warren Sapp
NT Ted Washington
LDE Bobby Hamilton
SSLB Tyler Brayton ( I dont get this at all, especially in the 4-3 a 6'6" 270 lb linebacker with 4.7ish speed, I'm hoping for Romo like play at this point(without the "vitamin problem"!))
MLB Danny Clark
WLB Sam Williams
CB Woodson and Asomugha
SS Marques Anderson
FS Stu Schweigert
It must be one of those newfangled schemes where the rush end is bigger than the base end! The only thing I can think of why you'd even have Brayton out there at LB is to get another big body on the field to shore up the run d. If you can stop the run, you have a good chance of stopping the divisional foes!
I can't wait to have Tatum run against this slow footed defense. Good thing the offense will score points.

Kelly was a good pick for you guys I thought. Two straight years where the Fade got good deals on DT's late. That lineup is crazy. No Jay at LB? As you pointed out no Burgess as well.

Hawthorne will beat one of those fatass DTs out. Not only that, he will lead the division's DL in TFL. I like Sam Williams as a WLB. Brayton is totally out of position as a SLB. He's a friggin DE. This is idiocy. I wont complain though. Its really a waste of a fine young player. I thought he was going to be a good pass rushing DE after his rookie year and he has talent, but this is too bad for him. I am not impressed by your back 4 one bit.

Yea our safties suck as evidenced by the fact one of our scouts came out of retirement to try and play safety this season !
We did waive Travian Smith, so there is some dough to sign a Vet Minimum type guy, we figure Kevin Hardy or Aneas Williams are 2 likely candidates.
They also had LT's backup in giving him a look Chapman or something like that!

I'm hoping Hawthorne supplants someone out there, Tommy Kelly has some burst for a big man 6'5" 300lbs with 4.8 type speed, but not enough to be effective from the RDE spot IMO. If Hawthorne can be the kind of disruptor Rod Coleman was, it could mask our weakness at DE like RoCo did in 2002.

Sapp and Washington are done. I'd love to see them starting along the DL.

Dude, its not April first and I am not Biting on that in the least. I would be running all over those guys with the cutbacks. Worse than the speed is the lack of agility to defend the cutback and PA bootlegs. zowie!
I was watching Ryan coach BAL in their Training camp series yesterday. I hope for you guys that he has gotten smarter.

I cannot figure out why the staff has not decided on a base alignment yet. Just shows they are not prepared & have not evaluated their talent yet. They should have this all sorted out before camp, preseason is less than 2 weeks. Bad for Butt-priates & good for us.
If Collins throws 20ints like last year Butt-pirates looking at 6-10 season.

How many did your boy throw, with an actual running game behind him!

Whatever. Lamont Jordan isn't that fast, and Moss is so overrated it's not even funny. Enjoy.
