Recommended Posts

To hold a starting Job on that Mizzou Dline..

 

Have you guys notice the talented Dlinemen coming out of that program the last 4-5 years..

 

Shane Ray and Markus Golden this year

 

Kony Ealy and Micheal Sams last year

 

Sheldon Richardson before that

 

Aldon Smith the year before that 

 

and Ziggy Hood before that...

 

And Kony held the starting job for 2 years his sophomore   and Jr season.. Keeping Ray and Golden on the bench..

 

Yeah I'm excited to see Ealy progress  this year..

I think he may be a 10+ sack DE, on the regular, by year 3.  4 sacks playing part-time as a rookie is not shabby at all.  His build and versatility remind me of Hardy.  He's got a much better head on his shoulders though.  If you watch the story on his relationship with his sister, you can see how good of a kid he is, and what his driving force is.

I heard he was going to get 50 sacks this year

That's why it wasn't a hard transition for the team to move into the SEC, they are producing NFL talent.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
