Who do you see Miami drafting this year?
As far as the skins go, like I mentioned earlier--I'd rather be playing Minny or the Aints. Washington has a lot of momentum right now and the whole team looks completely jazzed. Meanwhile Seatle has played like they don't care at all since they locked up the division. Our D coordinator is also a weakness. When he calls a conservative game and doesn't get after the QB, we lose games--like against Carolina and Atlanta, two teams we should have stomped. He should just sit in the booth quietly and let Lofa Tatupu run the defense.
That said, the rest of the story doesn't look as good for the skins. Most every individual match up favors the Seattle player, and the seahawks don't lose playoff games at home. If this were @ rfk, the media would be hyping up the skins worse than they already are.;)
The smartest thing Gibbs can do is run the hell out of the ball and tire out our smallish Dline.
Congrats to spank me hard. I am third from the bottom. SO sad.

I'd like to see Miami:
1. Draft a hot QB prospect. Maybe the QB from Hawaii. I hate drafting QBs because of their failure rate... but since Marino has retired... their QB situation has been a joke. Trent Green is at BEST good for another 1-2 years... perfect for a good young QB prospect.
2. I like Dorsey from LSU. And Miami needs help on D. Most D linement don't really start contributing well until a few years... but I love the way the guy plays.
3. Trade the pick down and pickup choices. Miami needs help in a lot of areas. Any extra picks would be well welcomed.
And of course... they need to do better in the free agency market. There is still *some* talent on the team... I'd try to hold onto it (i.e. I hated the Chris Chambers trade).
Washington is playing better than their talent right now. I think that they are inspired to play for Sean Taylor. I had writ them off at mid season... but they have proven me wrong. That being said... I don't see them getting very far in the playoffs. Inspiration usually only takes you so far.
I don't like the Skins matchup vs. the Seahawks either.
The Skins D is pretty good overall... but I think is weaker vs. the pass than the run. Which does them no favours vs. Seattle. I think Alexander is an awesome RB for Seattle... but their running game hasn't been what it's supposed to be. Injuries to Alexander, and worse blocking I think.
Offensively... I like the Skins running game. If they can pound it out (as you mentioned), then I think they have a shot. They have two good running backs in Betts and Portis. And if they pound it out... then the elements in Seattle should be less of a factor (if they are... and I think that they will) AND they will keep Seattle's offense off the field.
I don't like the Skins passing game vs. the Hawks. At all. On special teams... I just have no idea who has the advantage in the matchup. It's not like either team has a Hester on the roster.
Straight up... I think that Seattle wins (as much as it pains me to say so). But here at Sharky's... I'll have to see what the spread is before I decide.
Miami desperatly needs a new QB. QB is the heart and soul of the team and neither Lemon or Beck has done anything to give that team any heart.
I HIGHLY doubt that Trent Green will ever play again. Hes had way too many severe concussions. Theres lots of high quality QBs coming into the draft and Miami needs to pick the best one and get him signed asap. They cant afford another LaStupid Russel debacle and get their pick into as much training camp as possible.
After you get a good QB the team can rally behind then you can focus on the other aspects. Ronnie Brown was a fantasic rusher until his injury and he'll be good to go next fall. If they can get a good WR or 2 to go with their new QB they could have a decent offense.
I wouldn't give up on Beck. He WAS a hot QB prospect last year, and I think there's no way you can judge him by his performance this year on a TERRIBLE team. Too early to be drafting another QB imo when you just took him at the beginning of the second round a year ago. I would think that getting some youth on the defense is more important right now.
Sapp retired today. Glad to see him go at the right time honestly, I hate it when a career fades drastically but the player just hangs on for dear life and prolongs everyone's agony.
He'll be an HOF'er one day, and he probably deserves it. But if he goes before Cortez Kennedy I'll puke.:p
Sapp had ten sacks the year before... in the 3-4. This year he had two. I think that his retirement probably comes at the right time.Quote:

Now maybe the some more of the football-watching nation has seen just how damn good the seahawks D really is. (aside from when Marshall is calling "prevent".:mad: ) but they won this game for us. Hass is plainly throwing with an injured wrist and was barely moving the offense forward for awhile. This is not going to cut it in Lambeau.
Glad for a win today, but I'm not real optimistic about going further.
btw, did anyone notice that the skins lost by 21 points?
yeah I said it.;)
The teams I predicted to win both won today, though I thought Seattle would win by a little and Jacksonville would win by a lot, so I guess it was switched around a bit. :D
I was a little suprised that the Steelers put up such a good fight. Hopefully Jax can beat on the New England a enough so that they are soft when playing the Colts. I just don't see the NFC standing a chance against any of these teams.
the next 2 games for new england will be very hard.who says the colts are going anywhere either? chargers have won 5 in a row.San deigo beat indy in indy when they had their undefeated season.
I noticed it.Quote:
