real deal

true, i believe most people are at least partially over estimating there strength.

however, not being able to bounce the shite (ridiculous how they let them bounce bench presses like that) out of 225 more than 9 times is embarassing for someone who is a professional athlete, weighs 230 lbs, and has been training specifically for it for the past two months.

and yes, i can bench much more than 225x9. and no, that does not mean that i think i am a better athlete than chad jones. it means i can bench more than 225x9

right on my man

I am very excited about the prospect of josh downs and drake nevis starting at DT this year.

IMO, the potential is absolutely there for this to be the best group of DT's we have had since dorsey left. Much improved from last year. Hopefully both can stay healthy.

In additoin, depth with guys from last year as well as copeland and ferguson give us a lot of flexibility.

I believe that this will allow us to see much more production from Chavis' D next year. No clue about the offense, but I expect our D to be cracking some skulls next year.

:geauxtigers:

bah

no reason to believe they are a better team this year than we are. regardless, we will find out on monday night

on another note, did someone say TEDY BRUSCHI?

LINK

seriously, who cares?

why the lame appreciation threads?

he isn't here, he has nothing to do with our team in any way whatsoever.

i really wonder what the point of this is? :rolleyes:

exactly, fujita being out was huge.

mitchel and dunbar were major liabilities during the last game. very poor on containment on the outside and were responsible in a large part for a number of turners big runs.

we need fujita back

um no it doesnt

ridley doesnt play either unless its garbage time

scott starts, gets the majority of the carries and he is a senior

no one makes perfect decisions all the time. and in a forum which caters to football discussion, it is perfectly reasonable for fans to discuss potential fixes for obvious problems with our football team

and keep the insults to yourself. the correlation you attempt to make between criticizing a football coach and someones future career is a poor one at best.

:geauxtigers:

you = missing the point

our current quarterback is playing more like akili smith, so its only natural to give the backup qb a shot.

especially considering the fact our offense is ranked 109th in the country.

lee has talent, and i for one would like for him to be given the opportunity to show whether he has or has not improved since last year.

for me, its because he never stops talking

seemingly, he feels like he has to have something to say about everything.

he also latches on to some particular theme and will go on and on about it the entire game. like the georgia lb curran during this game.

yes, very good suggestion, i hadnt thought about that

change hashmarks for sure. also, like another guy mentioned, i like the idea of clock stopping for a first down

Ive always felt like some rules in college need to be applied to the pros and vice versa to make the best game in the world even better. Here are the changes I would make. Feel free to add your changes or ideas.

Pro Football Likes

-two feet in bounds equals reception
-down by contact, not down automatically when knee touches ground


College Football Likes

-maximum of 15 yards for pass interference penalty, not at spot of foul (ridiculous NFL rule)
-no "coachs challenge", done by booth upstairs at all times during game


If it were me, I would change all of those things. Both leagues would have down by contact, two feet equals reception, automatic challenges, and college pass interference rules.

What say you?

EDIT: also would change "illegal contact" penalty to not include the insane automatic first down on a 5 yard penalty. And finally, no "blow to the head" personal fould when the defensive player taps the helmet of the qb (ie hargrove in saints game vs bills)
