setting ourself up for the ol injury excuse. Jackson is a good young corner, I would try to make an offer to him and Gilmore and see what happens 

Absolutely not. Horn, Taylor and Henderson are better and on rookie deals. Let Donte and Bouye go and see if Gilmore takes the hometown discount for his last few years

Teams that can run the ball effectively can pretty much impose their will on us.

I'm not sure Jackson being out makes a difference on that front one way or the other.

Thats because we have the 2 smallest EDGE/DE guys maybe in the whole NFL starting.  Reddick and Burns are great at getting after the QB, but they get absolutely bullied in the run game.  Its a very big issue that we have no answer for.

There was word prior to the season that the team wanted Burns to put on some weight and add some muscle.

He did, but apparently not enough.

I agree about the run game, but specifically to how we were being effectively attacked in the passing game when our opponent needed to pass, the last two weeks they went after Donte.

Ron pretty thoroughly demonstrated the old saying "what I built, I can destroy".

The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season.

They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.

Donte played well for the most part though, Whitehead was just horrifyingly bad.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      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.
