We need to get Jimmy signed ASAP so he can get his ass to camp.

Agreed. Reid needs to as well considering he is competing for a starting position. Our first 4 picks are really important for us to get in there ASAP.

Ya, its probably just as important to get Reid signed as well. Him, Jimmy, and Torrey have the biggest chances of making an immediate impact. I’d still like to see Jimmy starting from Day 1, the best way to learn how to swim is by getting thrown in the deep end.

On a positive note

We still pretty much have the same defense we put on the field last year. The offensive line hasn’t changed and half the receivers that left we weren’t throwing to anyway. We didn’t utilize Willis or LeRon to our best ability. Without the usual fuck ups against the Steelers we make it to the super bowl with this team.

Well said

How uncharacteristically optimistic of you Shadow. Plus, we now have Jimmy, a burner in Torrey, and I’d be surprised if we didn’t end up with a better blocking FB. Now its just a matter of Cam using the tools he has.

It may take a couple weeks incorporating those guys into the system

But every team will have that problem. Most of our competition drafted late in the first round so nobody really has someone to just step in and be perfect. And teams that need their draft to start just gives us an advantage.

Well put Shadow. Shocking to agree with you, but it’s very true.
