Reasons to look forward to 2006: Ireland's 2nd draft and Payton is gone

[igtmfo]

1. Jeff Ireland will have a little better draft position to work with than if we went and laid down in an away-wildcard game somewhere. His first year drafting was pretty dam stout. Also thnx to Chris Hall and all our YOUNG billy-goat-beard scouting staff, who took over from the most hanging-on-geriatric old-dudes scouting staff in history.

2. Payton is done. What has Sean Payton accomplished? Jim Fassel demoted him when the Giants O fairly sucked about halfway through (2002?) .. and I remember the offense picked up when Fassel was running the O. I remember Fassel's explanation why their offense picked up was that Payton was too complex in ways, either in number of plays, variations in formations, or something, for players to be effective. My thought when Parcells hired him was ... why? Now, the Cowboys are middle of the league in offense, including points. OK not bad. We got blown out in a couple of games. Is it bad one-on-one play on the OL and bad execution, or bad schemes responsible ... or is it one-and-the-same-thing, or Fassel's reasons above, or the same, or the other, or should I go get another beer? Or should Payton be fired which is what I hope by writing this thread?

3. Who should we blame for last-minute losses this year? This is another subthread that I can't explain now because I need more beer. When is "My Name Is Earl" on again?

Payton done?? Maybe..maybe not. I do not care who we have at OC. With the garbage we have for OL no OC could make things happen.

Kinda hard to call the offense you want when your offensive line plays for the other team and not your team.

Payton is not the problem.

The thought of Ireland's second draft does excite me but as has been mentioned what good does it do if they stagnate and never get any better.

Payton could be part of the problem. Playcalling is very very predictable. But we'll never know how responsible he is or isn't because of the play of the Oline

Definitely looking forward to see if Ireland can have the same success as last year. I would love to see them do to our offense what they did for the defense last year.

And with all the rookies from this year, I'm afraid to even think about how many of them will get the sophomore jinx.

Where's the evidence that his first draft was all that great? Ware? Hasn't had a sack since Joanie Loves Chachi was on the air. Spears? Nothing special. Burnett? Barely getting on the field. Canty? Steady if unspectacular. Pettiti? Turd.
