Reality check from Jason La Canfora

[desertdawg]

I think the game planning, the play call, and the balance that comes with an actual run game will help out the O-line as much as the new acquisitions will, not to mention the new coaching staff. This is the first time I have been stoked about the O-line in a long time. Palmer just needs to be team first, no matter how good or bad we start off and then he needs to stay team first. He's my biggest question going in to 2013, he has the talent but I wonder just how dedicated he will be when times get rough, he seems to stink of the "not my fault" syndrome at times. I hope the line gels quickly, and I hope Palmer has his best years ahead of him.

Questionable running back depth could be a big problem.

Huh?

RB depth is excellent. Ellington is looking super out there, and Taylor will be a solid back. RW will likely make the team as the 4th string IF he is healthy. Either rookie might supplant Mendenhall, who is solid in his own right.

Not that it means that much, but this is the most quaility we've had at RB for a long time.

I think we will rely less on our RBs to block so much this year, we got an OG and some fresh legs. I aint stoked, but I'm looking forward to at least running the ball for the first time in years.

Which time?

Which time?

The time you said for good... Lol

You'll have to be more precise.

That, my friend, is a pic of the Burningman. One of the older ones, back when there was more hippies than college students at the event.

I don't think DDogg that you can say its excellent, given everyone behind Mendenhall is unproven at the NFL level. Potential, yes...depth, we will see.

Good to see u back Dawg

Fair enough. I am pretty confident both of them are going to be solid players though, and one will push for a starting job based on their talent, not Mendenhall's lack of it.

 

[gnomepete]

I thought that this was a reasonably fair assessment from him. In the past, I thought he trashed the team more than a little excessively.

He is day to day. Like we all are.

Um, my status rotates between workday decision, and until tomorrow.
