If you were Rod, what would you do to get Taco going?

good luck!! throw in Bryant?? They still wouldn't deal.

I said a package. Taco-Maliek-Crawford-Mayowa plus 1st Rounder for Donald. That's 15 Sacks and two 1st rounders.

Then sign Ware and promote Neal from PS.

It's encouraging to see from a physical standpoint Taco appears ready to contribute now. He hasn't been overwhelmed at the point of attack. He looks like he's probably thinking too much. If the preseason is an indicator he will learn quickly and probably improve accordingly.

I'd be much more concerned if he was getting pushed around or was making mental errors that will get you beat. The opposite is true. He's so concerned with not making mistakes that he's not mentally free enough to just go out and make plays. One step at a time.

Fantasy football.

Look whenever your plan is to trade half of your defensive lineman and also trade a1st Rounder and then hire a guy off the street and then promote a guy not good enough to make your 53 or any team's 53.... Well get a new plan.

LOL. Better than never having a plan and pissing on others. Does Toruk mean miserable because you're just not a happy camper.

I love Rod, but in my mind Tapper should be in the rotation more than Taco. It could be that they want to limit Tapper's snaps from a physical standpoint. I think Taco should come in toward 4th quarter when Oline starts to wear down. Get those fresh, young legs going and let him use his quicks. We are going to have a DYNAMITE rotation when Moore and Irving gets back!
Leave him in for the whole game against a weak OL, that's why i didn't understand his lack of reps against the Giants.

They wanted that division win baby...
May see him more this week, but with the altitude expect lots of rotation.

The solution is to let the rookie play and develop and then see what you have a year or so from now.

Exciting plan I know.

Ouch! There's an outside chance that Collins alone will develop into Donald's equal. He's obviously not there yet but he's not fully developed as a player either. You're throwing in two solid rotational guys that'll get you 10 sacks between them (roughly what Donald will get you), a rookie with 8-10 sack upside and another first rounder too? I love Donald but that's way too rich for my blood.

My Cross country flight from NYC had the wifi down. Miserable.
Funny how wifi affects not only our everyday life, but also our personal emotions, eh?
So crazy... I remember waking up in the morning- 11 years old, and the only thing on my mind was grabbing my fishing pole, waking up John and riding our bikes down to the creek.
All thoughts were upon friends, joking and catching fish and mudbugs.

Man... Man.
