“Do you think moving Warren Sapp inside is suddenly going to make him better? Since he'll be facing a pro bowl guard he's probably going to get dominated even worse.”
Suddenly? Moving Sapp inside - the position he played for many years, the position he played that got him seven pro bowl selections, the position he feels more comfortable playing – yes, it should make him more effective, i.e. "better." Whether or not he’ll “probably” be dominated by a pro bowl guard – yours or anyone else’s – remains to be seen. So far he seems to be playing with much more enthusiasm and has been actively pressuring opposing QBs, registering two sacks in six quarters of preseason play.
“I like to think one drive they had against the Texans was indicative of how their season will go. Collins drove them down the field, hitting open receivers again and again and again. Then they got into third and long and he forced a pass to Randy Moss at the goalline and it was intercepted.”
I recorded that game and watched that particular play a few times. Moss ran a slant into the post and Collins threw the ball behind Moss. There was nothing forced in his throw. He simply made a bad throw. Had Collins properly led Moss you'd have to find another single-drive example of what you'd "like to think... will be indicative of a season." Besides, isn’t it a bit silly for anyone to pretend a single series of plays is indicative of a season not yet played, especially when the person making that remark himself said, “Preseason means absolute jack shiat?”
