Clausen should start against the Titans...

Not really, but wouldn't this move make sense? I'm in the Matt Moore bandwagon camp, but wouldn't letting Jimmy play with the 'big boys' let us see what (if anything) we have for the season. We already know what Matt can do with the number ones, so give the kid a chance.

Anyone agree?

Point #2: We've heard enough about our ST problems, and I don't want to start a new thread about that, but...

In a situation that matters (for example, fourth quarter, 5:00 left, like against the Bills last year) why don't we have Smith return the punts? I understand why he's not back there for all of them, but why not for the important ones?

And, the making fun of me can begin now.

Once again coming from a Clausen fan I can't stand when people post completely misleading and/or fabricated thread titles. It's attention whoredom at its worst.

That said, Steve Smith would be a good punt returner except that he would be worth the 15 yard penalty for a backup specials teams guy to take out of the game on a fair catch.

Moore is going to be our starter so he needs to get the reps with the ones to get in sync with them. If MM's timing with the receivers was nearly perfect in the first two games I would understand your point some what. That obviously isn't the case though. The More times MM throws to a guy in preseason the less time it takes for him to get on the same page in the regular season.

There are two ways Clausen will start this season:

1. We lock up a first-round-bye by week 14, and the last two games we rest starters.

2. Moore tanks, are 4-6 by week 11, and he suddenly has a mystery injury.

I think you'd have to add a (3) for a bad record after week 5, with week 6 as our bye week.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
