Mark My Words -- Week 1 Mike Adams Will Start

maybe.

 

And I don't think he's even on the FG block team! He should be though. He's huge, and he can really get a good push.

 

i'm just posting on this because i'm tired of seeing your name up there on the main board.

 

well,it wasen't game 1 but game 6 and he did pretty well. we still have to give alot of help to our tackles though, and that can't go on. it's a start. good job adams, now build on it.

 

Yes, he is already miles ahead of where he was in the preseason. He looked HORRIBLE on that sack/fumble, though. All out of position. Looked like he was trying to stop the defender from getting to the end zone, not the pocket. I was screaming, "YOU DO KNOW BEN'S OVER THERE, RIGHT? NOT OVER THERE??" But he didn't answer me.

Aside from that though, he did well. One bonehead play per game is a lot better than one bonehead play per play. I think he might just be starting at LT in 2012. Might.

 

i agree. baby steps.

 

That much improvement wouldn't surprise me from him. But Starks is playing pretty awesome ball right now. If Starks still looks this good next year (NOT a guarantee), what do we do? Leave him there, keep Adams on the right and have Gilbert be the swing guy? Plug Adams and Gilbert as the starters at LT and RT and have Starks be the swing guy? Have a big ugly brawl at both positions and let the chips fall where they may? It's a good problem to have, but it's still a bit of a problem.
