Well it looks like Dre Bly still has some gas left. That was an awesome catch by Calvin though!

Scotty D · 08-21-2010, 08:33 PM

That was a beautiful catch.

Silver & Blue · 08-21-2010, 08:39 PM

Our d-line is just smacking the Broncos o-line around. KVB is just relentless when trying to get to Orton.

Scotty D · 08-21-2010, 08:52 PM

KVB with a sack, looks great.

frubulubu · 08-21-2010, 08:56 PM

Best looks great, im really impressed. KVB is a motor guy fun to watch. Cant say much about Suh he has been out of view.

Well Suh was taking double teams which freed up our DEs. I remember that he almost got a sack on Orton, but Orton got out of it. He put this o-lineman on his back almost as soon as the Broncos snapped the ball. But thats what happens when you take Suh on 1 on 1, you end up on your back.

Stafford is money tonight.

Scotty D · 08-21-2010, 09:37 PM

This halftime show is awesome.

noondog · 08-21-2010, 09:43 PM

Stafford looked great...lots of poise, good decisions and good accuracy. Best looked so good too, as did the O-line.

First team D-line dominated again, however I'm concerned with our secondary save for Philips, who looks to be legit and will be a great fit beside Delmas.

Scotty D · 08-21-2010, 10:08 PM

Jason Fox got burned at LT on that facemask penalty. Toone looks average on returns, solid not flashy, doesn't have that extra burst.

Brodeur · 08-21-2010, 11:03 PM

Zack Follett was brutal tonight.

Silver & Blue · 08-21-2010, 11:05 PM

Good last drive there by Stanton, seems like he is finally stepping up this year. Also a good rush by Willie Young to seal it.

Scotty D · 08-21-2010, 11:31 PM

-Dede Dorsey had a good game. I'm starting to like him over Aaron Brown.

-I might keep Dan Gronkowski over Will Heller.

-Derrick Williams looked ok at WR. Toone is a better returner and Williams is a better WR than Northcutt. I'd cut Northcutt and keep Toone/Williams.

-Adrian Arrington is having another solid preseason for the Saints but they may not be able to keep him on the 53 man. We might have a shot at claiming him.

-Brodeur mentioned Follet's poor play and I agree. Maybe we should try to get Derrick Johnson out of KC? Package him with Page? I love Sammie Lee Hill but they could use a NT.

-Fox had a poor showing at LT. I thought he would be in the mix at RT but they seem intent on playing him at LT. Everyone agreed he was a better fit for the right side.

-Kevin Smith had a good game.

-Randy Phillips continues to look like a steal.

So where are those people that debated for months that Curry or Smith should have been the pick?

BRAVEHEART · 08-23-2010, 03:51 PM

It's funny that the only pick i didn't like was selecting Levy. That was a good draft.

I said that if the team took anyone else besides Stafford, I would quit being a fan. I know most of the knowledgeable people (P-L, Scotty, WMD, Xio) all wanted Stafford that badly as well. The only people who didn't have disappeared.

This board was mainly pro Stafford. I know alot of people on Mlive and ESPN boards didn't want him but there were only very few on this board who didn't want Stafford.

Brothgar · 08-24-2010, 10:14 AM

I am willing to start to admit I was wrong about Javid Best. I had real doubts of his ability to be a true RB but he is slowly starting to look like one specially on that play where he broke like three tackles to get back to the line.
