Thread: A Sloppy Win but a Win All the Same..................

Good summary.

And as for Angelo having his balls cut off and fed to him... I think he'll be too busy feeding his balls to Larry Mayer in their weekly "interview"/propaganda.

It seems to me that this O is really missing Bennett and Carimi. It would be addition by, um, addition by having those two back and definitely addition by subtraction by removing Williams and Omiyale from the lineup.

Apart from Harris, quite what we've got returning on D that's enough to counter a hot Detroit O, I'm not so sure.

Bingo Cornish. Double Bangers and Mash and an extra pint for you tonight my friend. Those are my thoughts exactly. Bennett and Knox are our two best WR so going with the philosophy of playing our best guys they're the ones. RWill needs to chart plays from the bench and Hester needs to be confined to the slot with maybe a half dozen well designed plays he can run from there on 10-12 snaps a game. Putting him at SE or Flanker does no good because he can't run routes well enough to take advantage of his speed out there plus he's a lousy blocker. He scares no one as a WR like he does as a KR/PR. Let he and Sanz play the slot. Hester on the early downs where he will scare teams who see him matched up with their #3 CB or God forbid, a Safety. From there you can bring him down inside and throw middle screens or shuttle passes to him and take advantage of hid running ability. As a WR he's pretty much useless as is RWill.

Carimi can block better falling down than OMG can standing up. Bench OMG and play Louis out there until Carimi returns. If Tice wants his best 5 playing then OMG has to sit. He's not one of them.

Good write up, nothing I can really disagree with.

Yep but he's still more valuable out there than RWill, at least this year. He's got a big speed advantage over RWill and far better hands so by combining him with Bennett you get one speed guy who can get you 20 yards at a crack and a Mr. Dependable who can get those tough 8-12 yards grabs. Now if we alternate Hester and Sanz in the slot. Hester on early down as a threat and Sanz on the key 3rd dowd plays for consistency we get our best 4 guys out there most of the game.

If Martz will do that and actually start throwing to Davis a little we may salvage some kind of a halfway decent passing game before the year is out. With experience Knox should eventually run better routes. RWill will only be what he is now or less. He won't be back next year so why even bother. Let Knox develop his rapport with Cutler because RWill surely isn't.

What I do know is OMG even at this point in the season doesnt deserve a roster spot. Cut him bring in Horn off practice squad. Im sorry JA you paid millions for yet another roster mistake but replacing the worse T in the league with a practice squad player isnt the worst thing we can do. Can someone really play worse then the worst? And we need a damn wr its time for JA to scour a team that is a seller that has a wr we can pry. We are close it just needs honest evaluation like the one they finally made with OMG. Now if they do the same with Hester and bring in a wr we are getting somewhere

and this investment in defense is crap. We have 75 percent of our cap on defense and they are playing like crap.

I know you weren't trying for humor here but nonetheless this has me rolling on the floor. I can think of all kinds of things to go with a question like this.

First there the philosphical approach where in the Ancient Greek Philosopher Aristotle asks the question, "what is worse than worse", "is there anywhere in the known universe something that could be called worser?"

Or the PT Barnum "there's sucker born every minute" carney shill; "Step right up folks, yes don't be shy, here he is for your thrills and enjoyment, Frank Omiyale, the NFL's worst Offensive lineman". He can't play Guard and he can't play Tackle, his pass blocking has been declared a natural disaster, it's so horrible that children under the age of 13 aren't permitted in this exhibit and we advise caution to those of you who suffer from nervous disorders or are faint of heart". "Just step right up and see Frank Omiyale, the worst of the worst, he's worser than the worst practice squad lineman on the roster of any NFL team except the Chicago Bears." "Ladies and Gentlemen, Frank is about to block a 6'6" 280 lb DE, please turn away if you're squeamish, this won't be pretty". "Yes Ladies and Gents step right up and watch Frank give up his fifth sack this afternoon, hurry hurry only a quarter and as an added attraction at no extra charge watch Jay Cutler get his shoulder dislocated by the sack, step right up, no need to push plenty of room for all".

Or there's Jay Cutler singing the opening tune from the TV show "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", like this;

"People let me tell you 'bout my worst friend"

"His shitty pass blocking gets me sacked in the end"

"People let me tell you that he's no fun"

"He's fat, slow and lazy oh if I wish I had a gun"

Mo, the possiblities are endless, LOL.
