  1. You are a man with strong opinions. We'll see shortly whether the coaches agree with your evaluations. I agree with your frustration with Tate - we sure needed him in the playoffs and he was MIA. Hunt, however, CAN push first stringers too and his size (and measurables) shouldn't make that a surprise. His problem is arm tackling instead of crushing people. He's big and strong enough to play some DT in a pinch which increases his usefulness. I really like the guy, but I still think he's our best trade bait. MJ's injury will influence his retention on the roster. DeShawn Williams is now our most-likely-to-be-stolen waiver candidate who may not make it to the PS.
  2. I am fickle and very predisposed to the "recency" effect - meaning I place too much emphasis on what I witnessed recently, versus whole body of work. I don't think I'm alone that way. Tate was open repeatedly last night even though AJ missed him half the time. He's in. Watson sure came back to earth quickly. Now I think he'll make it to the PS without getting stolen. Hunt is still an enigma. How can 6'8 dude bullrush his way into the backfield so consistently and still, despite the wingspan of a condor, miss the freak'in tackle? Doesn't he make you want to cry? Or scream? Carter is in. Just as good as our other back-up linebackers and has a special skill off the edge.
  3. This will be the make-or-break week for Carter. Sounds like he's gonna get some snaps in Lemurs spot rather than as a gadget rusher. The back-up Tampa QB drifted backward in the pocket right into his arms, inflating his numbers. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play more as an actual OLB for evaluation. Regarding Margus, he looked like the coaches have been focused on having him contain the run/set the edge more than turning him loose. I think that made him look a little lazy 'cause he wasn't crashing. I still have hope for him but now agree that 2nd round was too high... He needs less Estonian and more Tazmanian to his game.
