    Do you think they've fixed it now and we are in turn around mode or do you think we're not gonna make the playoffs?

    I think that we are in turnaround mode, but I don't think that we will make the playoffs.

    I usually see him in there during run downs. Its the nickel package when he is on the bench.

    I thought he would have a slightly better year up to this point but he is making some plays.

    I think everyone is comparing him to Hampton and he's just not that type of player.

    I don't know why anyone's down on him. He's played well against the run. As far as his snap counts, it's not a new thing for NTs on this defense. Under the circumstances he's done quite well...all things considered.

    I know people put a lot of stock into PFF grades and if you compare his to Snack's over the years, he looks real good.

    I was fairly excited to see Haley's offense with a year under the belt with Ben and the new zone blocking scheme and the quick dink and dunk release passes and the new o-line coach working with his full stable of stud draft pics. When a talented team comes out and performs the way this team did a couple players are rarely the cause. I think they can turn it around and make some history but it will take a total effort and that means getting the right players on the field at the right position and some high quality play calling on both sides of the ball. I predicted we would be a top 5 rushing team this year.

    Adams, Foster, Pouncey, DeCastro, Gilbert was suppose to be the line of the future.

    Adams sucks, Pouncey injured, DeCastro injured (looking at evaluating for how long) Gilbert sucks.

    That leaves Foster an undrafted free agent that has been mediocre at best.

    Is this in reference to the Bengals vs Jets game or next week because they definitely did not lose on Sunday and we have NO chance.

    Back to the topic....biggest disappointment - I think my biggest disappointment is that we were mediocre at best last season and it just doesnt appear that anything was addressed to change that.
