ware
burnett
canty
barber
pettiti
ratliff
thomas johnson
fujita
aaron glenn

what would you seriously have said?
were would you have said we would finish?
do you realize that we have 7 new starters on defense?
and four on offense...

I personally could not have asked for a better offseason considering who was out there and what needed to be done...one of the best in the last 10 years for any team IMO...of course that is just a prediction at this time because it will take 5 to 10 years to know it's full effect...

remember this too...there were three positions we were all stressing about after the big free agency period and the draft...IMO they are all squared away now...

Davis is going to be a pretty good player on a defense that he doesnt have to be the star in...berry o will backup either safety once he gets healthy..thank god lynn scott is gone...i dont think we are done either...i think we will trade for a safety very soon...

Pettiti is going to be a player too...for years to come if he stays healthy...i liked him from the start for some reason even though he had problems early..all rookies do...IMO the starting RT position is squared away...hope tucker can play if he gets hurt...jury is still out for now...

with adding of Peerless Price and the emergence of Patrick Crayton we are right up there in the league as far as depth at the position....4 solid receivers along with witten and jones...we are going to reak havoc all year...AS LONG AS the offensive line blocks...point is...all three of those positions BP took care of...couldnt say that last year..


I would of said:

bledsoe: Please let it NOT be true!

rivera: No way! We don't need another old man on the OL!

a train: Would be a nice complement to JuJo.

price: Over - rated!

ferguson: Exactly what our D needs!

henry: Exactly what our D needs:

spears: Exactly what our D needs if we're switching to a 3-4!

ware: Who?

burnett: Solid pickup.... Exactly what our D needs!

canty: Some had him rated as the #1 DE coming into last season so he could be a sleeper.

barber: I had him rated as one of the top RBs in the nation before last season. Would be a good pickup for depth and kick returns!

pettiti: You mean that fat guy that plays for Pitt?

ratliff: *See DeMarcus Ware response.

thomas johnson: * See above.

fujita: Good solid LB that can tackle and has size. Good pickup.

aaron glenn: Exactly what Terence Newman needs to take his game to the next lvl... a good, experienced CB to learn some tricks of the trade from.

Then I would of predicted us to go between 7-9 and 9-7 since we still have Frankenstein at QB.
