I have to call BullS*it on this. I'll give you the Cutler over Russell but not by much. Russell will step right in just like Cutler did. Russell got to play a handfull of games and learn with out getting beat up. He is big, strong and has a solid grasp for the game. He will step up. After that I don't see you logic. You said better coaching, how? Kiffin did wonders in 1 year and beat you guys twice (iF not for a lame T.O) last year. We didn't even have a set QB. As you say, Denver is better but so is Oakland. How do you have better players in the trenches? Your run D was as bad as ours. Your line gave up 34 sacks to our 42. We let Sims go and signed Harris and Wade from Tampa. On D we sined Joseph, Edwards and Spires at D/T and D/E. We have Hall and Wilson with Nnamdi in the secondary to shut down the pass. Who will run the ball for you? We have Bush and McFadden. Denver may be better but so are we. At this point I like what we have done over what Denver has done. Plus, is your top receiver ready to play? hows his arm? Of corse all this depends on health for both teams. It could turn into a long season again.
Way to keep it about 2 guys talking football. This you suck yelling gets old.
Good post. i have to see if JaMarcus Russell can play good ball his 1st year starting. Jay Cutler hasn't been phenomenal yet but he did well last year. the passing numbers were better than when plummer was here. the running numbers struggled. part was a banged up o-line other part was injuries to baby daddy henry but Selvin Young did really well. the kid is quick and has some good moves. thats an undrafted rookie too. If they can get better int he red zone, they will be a very good team. i think spires was a good pickup. i haven't seen a lot of him lately but he is a good pass rusher. it hink Elvis Dumervil is a better pass rusher than burgess who is on the decline. as far as line goes denver has some good young defensive ends and tackles they have drafted recently. the browncos are gone except ekuban who was the best of them. shanahan is a better coach then lane. coaching is measured by victories. he did win 4 games last year but i dont think he was the main reason. the defense is more cohesive and rob ryan has done a fine job with the pass defense. i like what he has done on improving the run game too. theres a handful of coaches in the elague who are on shanahans level. with the injuries last year and minimal talent he still grinded out 7 wins. the losses were bad and many of the wins were close but thats were a HC comes in. if you are losing close games, you have bad coaching. The O-line for denver is better as well. they allowed less sacks and had better pass protection. oaklands offense consisted of running, playaction and quick passes due to the o-lines inability to give the quarterback time. Doctors are saying Brandon Marshall may be ready come camp. we will see. he jacked his arm up i guess. if him darrel jackson, Brandon Stokley, Keary Colbert, Eddie Royal, Tony Scheffler and Daniel Graham have a good offseason with cutler, the pass game will be better as well. Travis Henry and selvin young could be a good punch if henry satys healthy. prior to last year henry had been very productive.
