Man, I entered a work pool this week. I had San Fran over the Vikings, and my arch-nemesis Favre throws the game-winner. I have Tennessee over New York, and no Titans seem to be able to catch the ball. I had Houston over Jacksonville, and the Jones-Drew of old returns. And I had Washington over Detroit.

I've been wrong on those four thus far, and it's not like they were runaways. Going into the fourth quarters, I was feeling pretty good about most of these picks. :(

Having now seen the highlight, I gotta really question Singletary a bit.

When you know the Hail Mary pass is coming, you generally put six guys in the end zone to knock it down. I only saw two guys back there in the vicinity of the receiver. That's a bad defensive call.

I'll have to check the clip again to see if there were more guys back, but from what I saw it looks like he put more guys into pressuring Favre rather than coverage. On a normal play, I can understand that, but on a last second play where a Hail Mary is the only option, no :nonod:

I picked Det this week, but missed on Houston and Tenn. SF looked pretty good on offense and defense from when I started watching it at the beginning of the 4th Q, I wanted to see how good Minny looks b/c we play them this yr.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
