Lets get the wrong out of the way!

* Thought we were a 10-6 or 11-5 playoff team. We came a tad short but not by much

*Thought our Oline would perform better than they did. My second biggest gripe on this team. Dragged our running game down and did not protect Bledsoe.

* There could be a case made Als was missed - that one kills me to write. That said he's still hasta la vista baby!

* I thought Cundiff would step up - he stepped back

The rights on the Norsey!

* Leaving $5M Cap and not addressing FS, OT would bite us in the ***, it did

* We could make the 3-4 transition and all in all pulled it off. One more year of familiarty and Capers or a 3-4 guy installed we can really reap benefits...... I like our Core and we transitioned out front 7.

*Not signing Law was the biggest off season screw up league wide. Scooter man - 10 interceptions. Me things we buy Henry one and a boot to wear all offseason.

Grades -

Bledsoe - B Got the most out of limited protection. Won a bunch of games cardiac style. Showed his big play potential. Needs to play stronger down the stretch next year.

JJ - C One great game and a bunch of average games and "injury" bug bites again. Verdict pending Oline and a healthy season

Glenn - A My offensive MVP

Key - B+ Does all the work and is a passionate baller.

Oline - F

TE - Witten gets a B+ and is a stud. I'm tired of the great blocker Campbell. All I see is guys jail breaking Bledsoe and nailing our RB for 2 yards. Go get a big play TE to compliment Witten.

D ROOKS - Ware, Spears, Canty B- but a huge bright spot for our future

Burnett - Dude gotta stop all these surgeries and beat out the likes of Shanle, Fowler, James and Fajita or "maybe" he's busto. Injury may PUP or IR him next year - Grade D

Newman - A Solid year
Roy - B OVER RATED YEAR BUT STILL A HITTER! Has to work with Davis on coverage or we are never going to get better.

Kicking - F Thats 2 losses easy on missed FG's.

Coaching - C+ Oline coaching, playcalling and defensive scheming(non aggressive) not the best. Parcells isn't sleeping well because he knows he did not do a very good job this year. He'll be back to rectify. Or will he continue down same path?

Booked.
See you in draft and opinion zones!

Add:

Merriman / Ware - slight plus for Merriman with size/age. Still think Ware can be that hybrid edge stud for us.

Its a whole lot better than some. I'm gonna go crazy if I see another "trade the kitchen sink for Matt Leinart" or "We should go get Phillip Rivers" threads.

I'll give Newman an "A" and I don't want to see Davis at safety anymore, unless he's backing up RW....

Dixon, Davis

When will we get you can't play a SS at FS.

I'd rather play a vet CB long in the tooth that can read a CB. Put Law back in centerfield and NO WAY - does Moss toast us twice. No WAY.

Playmakers wanted at FS.....

Change that to an F. It sure as hell wasn't satisfactory.

I must admit, I thought the 3-4 would be shakier the 1st year.

What is Burnett's injury?

If Burnett goes on IR next year, I am going to call him a bust. He has a lot to prove, and when you see guys in college with injuries and then ignore them come draft time, you are going to get regret it.

Hopefully "you know who" has learned this by now with the Rogers & Peterman fiascos...

Note to Parcells: Don't draft guys with injury concerns.
Signed, Cowboyszone.

Good read Nors.
shocking isn't it? :)

I'm actually surprised u added Als. Not surprised u left off Dat. U didn't really address the LB corp, but I think injuries to that spot hurt the 'boys as much as the loss of Flo, the who's who at the FS spot, and the latest name that kicker candidate.

Overall, u were pretty fair despite your steady luv for the Law.
