Michael Ash discusses expectations, Derrick Johnson and thanksgiving...

[Easy 6]

Good read by Ash, short & to the point.

He's right about last week raising the expectation bar & i dont see why we shouldnt be able to get another 2-3... if we can beat the Steelers, we should be able to do that. Win or lose Sunday, i cant imagine us getting humiliated like v. Carolina, this isnt Herms team anymore... this crew will give better effort for 4 quarters. My $ says Haley will keep them focused.

DJ - God bless the guy, i honestly think he's doing everything asked of him to the best of his ability, i think he wants to be 'The Guy' here but just isnt able to fully grasp the mental requirements. I gave up on the 'Haleys just playing head games' idea a few weeks ago, if mind ****'s havent worked by now... they never will. I hope DJ finds success at his next stop.

I've been more ambivelant about Big Money Free Agents this year than ever & it didnt twist my drawers in a knot at all that we didnt grab Edwards & Seymour. Jumping in up to our necks with a bunch of expensive older guys right off the bat in a new administration, on a rebuilding team, just didnt seem like a good 'Big Picture' move.

Cant wait for this draft & free agency periods, i think it'll be a much more exciting go this time.
