Al Johnson named starter!

[LaTunaNostra]

SB, you are such a delightful read.

 

[Nors]

Hey NOrs....here's your props on the ones you called correctly

While you're semi-hot, what's your call for the season record? Despite all the hoopla, I still don't see us finishing better than 8-8, 9-7.

Thanks -

I see a breakout year for the Boys.

11-12 wins. Outside chance the NFC title game goes through Texas stadium! Thats right we are playing deep into January/February. Eagles falling back to the pack and we have the young dogs on D to take him out.

JJ, Witten, Glenn, Bledsoe - better line we are going to be a tough team to stop. We will easily put up 7-10 more points a game.

Defense we have Roy in the box and added all sorts of scematic problems for offenses to solve. And added playmakers. This may rest on Keith Davis and I have been impressed so far that he can do this.....


Very long on this season.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I'm right a majority of the time. Bring my wrongs?

Al J starting - Check
3-4 Defense - check
Romo - Backup - check

LOL

The only one of these that I'd give you is Romo as backup. Your prediction wasn't that Al Johnson would start, it was that Gurode would be cut. So stop with the revisionist history. Flat out lying is what it is.

As for the 3-4 defense, you've been predicting it since Parcells arrived. Sorry, Snores, but at some point a prediction becomes stale. Like any cheese, your predictions must come with a "best before" date. Unless, of course, you're willing to admit that you were "dead ***" wrong for two full years and it's only now that you're beginning to be partially right (given the continued reliance we'll have on 4 down lineman alignments).

Yeah, Nors nailed it all right. Gurode sure got his butt kicked by Tyson Walter for the backup center spot (he was toast in that battle according to Norstra*******).

Bring my wrongs?

Apart the two that I noted in my previous post (which you had the audacity to claim as correct), how about these:

-Ty Law
-Trevor Price
-Merriman to be drafted instead of Ware ("Stop the Ware Madness", remember?)
-Ellis and/or Glover on the outs
-Al Singleton to be cut
-Canty to work as a tight end
-Keyshawn to be cut, if PP signed (this one hasn't really been given sufficient time to be disproved, but it's so ridiculous that it can be evaluated in advance)

As against this abysmal track record, you can claim maybe 2 or 3 accurate predictions (Romo as backup, Darren Howard not signed, and (being very generous, given its obvious nature) Bledsoe signed).

3 hits and 9 misses (including the two misses I pointed out in my prior post). That's a .250 batting average. Hardly awe-inspiring.

Ellis traded.

Henson traded.

Allen traded.

Draft a DT.

Draft a TE.

Jones would be nothing but a 3rd down back.

He "hit" on Eddie George and Eaton, although I'd never crow about them.

5-20 so he's at still at .250.

Sad thing is though....in his mind, the poor guy is batting .1000......so sad.

Wow you keep a good log on Nors - Impressive.

 

[Nors]

3-4 defense
hybrids
DE's playing TE - happened all TC
George as backup
Eaton as backup
Coakley traded
Bledsoe
Spears, hybrid DE in One
Petitti advocate - most here now suck up to dad but were not so kind combine time....
Romo to win #2 at training camp (twice)
Al J over Gurode to start
Right side line sux big last year, all bye bye
Carter over Chad
Parcells TO Dallas
Trading Galloway
NO Trade for Howard
Keeping Glover - he can play in the 3-4
We have the LB's to play 3-4
Shanle to emerge as a force
Henson not ready when allannointed him the prototype, pedigree savior

Distortions by the BZ

Advocated trading Allen when he was being a jerk - most onboard
Advocated a Law for Jacob Rogers trade - how's that looking now.
Pro Peerless Price in Dallas - back to pre camp.
Pro trading Ellis. Spears and Canty, Coleman better 3-4 Ends LT.
Als is not out of the woods yet, Burnett deserves to start. He's a GONER - timing is all



I aint at 20% for those really counting. No one is perfect. At least I have the balls to have an opinion. For all that come at me - they have to take it back when they get it back in their grill!

 

[Nors]

Wow you keep a good log on Nors - Impressive.

selective memory - I just served him an early lunch - see my blast back at him.


We went 3-4, drafted DE, OLB, OLB in first two rounds. Outstanding draft.

I was pro taking a DT later in draft.... We will surely go DT this year. Spot on but we can get by with Ferguson, Glover in 3-4. Never advocated a DT top 3 picks to clarify for the BZ distortion. And BP did the right thing.


He's reeling. Henson/Romo, 3-4, Bledsoe looking good, Price in town and Burnett chirping at ol Als heels......AlJ over Gurode.

He had the "I was there" QB evaluation in the desert. Plainy misread what was going on....... For a guy busting my chops I see a guy wrong a LOT!

 

[Nors]

Heath Miller in 2nd round - I 100% ADVOCATED THAT!

Unfortunately he was off board. LB was the way to go. Next year BZ venture into the draft forum. You really want to get into draftnicking I'll talk football prospects, Parcells players, value boards, draft strategies all day every day. Bring it - you are just distorting bits and pieces of BS - and those that talk draft, they know who the real draftniks are.

I already have my top 300 for next years class set up and starting in on potential underclassmen. I also have access to one of the most respected minds on football prospects. Critiques my lists and gives me scouting insights.

See you there BZ.

Alj did win the starting job - I was correct.

BZ - chose to try and attack my track record. Alls fair!


I giddily reply BZ - Please name what you have actually been correct about of late? Carpet time, you are called.

We do need to get younger and bigger at the DT position, and I think Burnett should take over for A.Singleton right now.

I think BP is doing the right thing by taking A.Johnson over Gurode, but I also like that BP is switching in Gurode in on some plays.

It just seems like A.Johnson pulls so much better - he's faster and blocks good on the runs - I'd even consider using A.Johnson on most of our pulling block plays.

As for the 3-4, I'm all for running it - I also like that BP is going to show 4 down linemen occasionally, because with Ferg & Glover on the field at the same time sometimes, is dangerous.

And as for Romo-I like him at the number 2 right now, and I will give him enough rope if I were BP not to choke himself - But I would none the less keep him on a leash.

You went well beyond saying that Al Johnson would keep his job. You said that Gurode had virtually no chance to earn the backup role over Tyson Walter. You also, in no uncertain terms, said that Gurode was a bust and then alluded to flushing. One can only assume you meant he should be cut. The odds were obviously in favor for Johnson to keep his job, he did well last year and Gurode had lost his job as guard. So claiming that you had some keen insight about that is a bit silly. But you definitely thought Gurode was a bust and couldn't earn the backup role, and since he's going to be rotating in at center with Johnson I'd say you were about as wrong about that as could be.

And the 3 - 4 nonsense has been pointed out to you over and over. You have claimed we were making the switch since Parcells arrived. You are the broken clock who was eventually right. And 90% of the people who thought it unlikely we were switching did so because of our lack of personnel. Something that has obviously changed drastically over the time Parcells has been here. Since we didn't switch with our own personnel everyone who said we wouldn't was actually right - you were flat out wrong. Since Parcells has been a long 3 - 4 advocate - even specialist - it was not a tough call that he'd like to run the 3 - 4. But the key point, and one you clearly couldn't grasp then and still apparently don't, is that we didn't have the players to run it. Now we do.

Talk about distortions.

Show me where I said Singleton starts all year versus Burnett...you know the guy I called on draft day.

Find a post where I said Gurode over Johnson.

BZ - ignores the challenge.

Attempts to divert attention.
Does not address all his :correct: calls of late.

And flee's!

See you in the draftzone BZ - come on in this offseason and we can talk football!
