Please don't jump off the bridge just yet...
 

Look, I'm as distraught as the rest of you about Roaf's retirement, but somebody here has to provide some positive input, because I don't feel like rebooting the server every 30 minutes today. :D

I submit to all of you the Buffalo game.

It was a shining example of Saunders and Vermeil going away from LJ and the run and passing the ball despite heavy pressure from the Buffalo defense.

Larry finished that game with 27 rushes for 132 yards, a 4.9ypc average - without Willie Roaf.

In fact, in the games Willie missed, Larry rushed for about 4.7ypc. And LJ set the single-game rushing record against Houston without Willie Roaf.

Perhaps Herm's conservatism is precisely what we need right now? We can only hope.

There is a bridge? Where is it?

I am grabbing an anvil so that my descent off the bridge will go that much faster.

Did you major in physics?

that's crap ..... if you don't think that herm's conservatism will put more pressure on the need for great offensive line play then you've just smoked a bowl and haven't come back down yet.

And without Roaf we don't have to worry about the deep ball, so Kennison can kiss our ass

Oh?
You don't say?
I guess you are right, I'm really not helping. :D

I wonder if Herm knew about this.

There seems to be this feeling we were the 1999-2002 St. Louis Rams under Vermeil/Sanders. We weren't. Under supposed "Air Saunders" we ran the ball more than 80-90% of the other teams in the league. We simply have little room to run the ball more without being totally predictable.

My reason not to jump off the bridge is that going from Roaf to Black was going from the best in the league to the worst. I think we can put someone in there at LT who doesn't suck nearly as much as Jordan Black.

I tried Smaq. I started the "Life After Roaf" thread but basically got slammed for ot echoing that we will be 1-15 this year now.


I remember use running all over Philly with Black until Saunders got cockey!

The only problem I have is that we lost that Buffalo game 3-14. :banghead:

And Houston sucks horribly. :deevee:

There's no time to climb a bridge. I'm stapling myself to death at my desk.

Well, the descent wouldn't be any faster, but you would sink in the water more quickly with an anvil. :D

Ehh... it really sucks, but we'll be fine.

I ain't scared.....

I just threw someone else off a bridge, you should have posted this sooner.
