Given that the game was played at their place on opening day, it's a testament to this team's new found toughness, that we didn't get blown out.

When you want to rebuild a shitty tean, you start with special teams and defense... both showed up today.

It's gonna take some time... but this is a good start.

Agreed.

True, but his lack of effort is so blindingly obvious, I honestly don't see him being a consistent or reliable contributor.
No heart. All quit.

I don't agree with that at all. LJ dearly wants to be a star, a baller... I don't question his effort.

That's his whole problem, when he can't get blocks... and break off some big runs... he pouts and gets cranky.

Watch his run to the right outside or remember it if you can. Weak sauce, weak finish.

You don't think Thigpen is as good as Croyle? I think he is at least as good. Doesn't matter other than having a decent backup. Cassel is the QB now.

A hungry RB would have at least tried to juke that defender.

I was wondering the same thing, probably a bit of both.

Herm had a history of getting QBs killed. It happened in NY, it happened in KC. That was more the problem than Croyle being fragile. Poor conditioning, poor play calling, poor OLs.

Despite the outcome, i dont see how anyone argues about Brodie's play, toughness or effort.

He was firing tracer rounds once the O got rid of the jitters & his statline is, almost, impeccable.

I don't. He couldn't have made that long pass to Bradley, he's just not accurate enough.

KcMizzou 09-13-2009 04:11 PM

I really (still) think Croyle has a chance to be a quality QB in the NFL.

Maybe even only as a career backup, but he's the type of guy that could step in and win you a game or two. (on a more talented roster)

If Cassel chooses to hold on to the ball too long like he did a lot in NE last year, HE'S GOING TO GET KILLED behind this line. Croyle did a pretty good job of letting it fly in less than 3 seconds. If our QB's hold on to it 5 seconds they'll be sacked 90% of the time.

It was ****ing amazing.

Alright, fine.

Not an Urban Myth.

I've never doubted that he was good. I think he'd be awesome if we had a o-line.
