I Missed You Bums

Hey all!!

Marty - Chris and I hook up most nights on MSN or Facebook! But thanks!

Boomer, what do you think of J.Leman of Illinois? I really like the way he gets off blocks. I think he'll be available in the 2nd.

Also, what is your take on Conners? When I see Penn State games, Sean Lee stands out so much more than Conners, unfortunately, I doubt he comes out this year.

Sam....Leman is a very good player. I wonder about his speed.

A lot.

Lee is staying in school. I like Connor.

Hey my man.....damn......I tell you what I LIKE about this team, if that's any help.

John Beck. The search is over. Man, I'm talking about poise, arm strength, accuracy, pocket prescence, progressions, leadership. If we could punt, he'd have beaten the Steelers. It got to the point on Monday where Tomlin was sending Foote or Farrior and Harrison on almost every down because he was going to beat them. He made a beautiful pass to Derek Hagan which the idiot dropped.

Samson Satele. Future All Pro. Take that to the bank.

Ted Ginn. He has 75+ catches a season and 5/6 returns for touchdowns a season in his armoury. Love the kid.

Quentin Moses. Was a high 1st round pick as a junior, had a subpar year as a senior and we got lucky.

Channing Crowder. Stepped up to the plate and finally, in the 2nd half of the season, has assumed some responsibility and is playing well. He'll never be Zach Thomas and he still leaves plays on the field, but he'll do.

Will Allen. Been saying it all season, he'd be a Pro Bowl lock if we weren't 0-11. Guy has a right to hear his name up there with Asante Samuel and Leigh Bodden and Rashean Mathis and Marcus Trufant and Al Harris and Nnamdi Asomugha, etc. Playing lights out.

Jason Allen. Played well in London and has been excellent ever since. SS is perfect for his skill set as he's such a force against the run. This is the Jason Allen I hoped we'd draft.

Cam Cameron. We're 0-11 and he occasionally makes some odd calls, but the fact that we're 0-11 and the team is playing like we're 11-0 says so much about him. He absolutely WILL NOT get fired even if we go 0-16.

I had many of the same thoughts, it's good to know I wasn't crazy. Beck has really impressed me and knowing that we have our QB of the future blossoming before our eyes actually makes this 0-11 season fun. I've gotten the feeling that Ginn will develop into a truely dangerous reciever and return man, as it usually takes WR a few years to reach their potential and he's already producing. Jason Allen is shedding his "bust" status after some idiot (Capers, most likely) tried to make a CB out of him. Satele's a future Pro Bowler, but we've known that since early on in the season.

That's a good observation on Cam, btw. Unlike 2004 I haven't gotten the feeling that anyone on this team has packed it in.

Good stuff! Thanks. Agree with most points, except I don't think Channing is instinctive enough for MLB- he has looked better the past couple of wks. Maybe Offerdahl/Zach has spoiled me to that spot! I'm loving the O Line play, finally.

Yo, wassup Boomer. Great to see you bro!

Simon -

Great to hear from you, and all the others here too.

I sure hope we secure our 1st win in the next 3 weeks....three questions

1) With the way the season is going, would you be shocked if we won the next 3 and no longer held the #1 pick in the draft?

2) If we have #1, and no team is willing to trade up, what player or position do you target as of now?

3) Based on Ricky W. injury and seemingly no longer trade value, do you think its cut and release next year, or hold em and let the chips fall based on his cheap price?

P.S. thanks for the quick thoughts on what is right with the team based on finding positives this year. I agree!

WB Boomer! Good to see you again.

Boomer who????? :escape:

That isn't my thread, the only one I created was the Jason Allen thread...:blushing:

Dam Boom, good to hear from you.

Man is it great to read your insight again Boomer. I have been going through withdrawals lol. I agree with everything you said. I was wondering the same thing the other night about Will Allen that if he were on a better team he would be a Pro Bowler. He has been good in every facet of the game at his position. Also what you said about Cam is something I have been impressed with, but gets talked about very little. He has done a really nice job of keeping this team together in a miserable season.

Im soooo giddy over Beck...

I think Im gonna peeeee!!!!!

I had no idea you'd ended up here!!!!!

Yes it's nice here, nice to see all the guys still together, but there's no place like home....:punk:

I missed it.

the same happens to me at work:confused1:

Welcome Boomer, I only found this place a couple of days ago. It is like finding family after you thought they were lost forever!

In addition to the guys you mentioned I am also pleased with the play of Hadnot at RG. He seems to have found a long term home there for us as well as Carey at T. The overall picture is bleak but there are bright spots along the way.

Wierd seeing "junior member" under the names of so many of Finheaven's elite. I want my "Phan since '66" back!
