All these good posts and almost 2 pages without the bashing trolls.

Saltman is right on about depth.

Keiser is the kind of player Bill Belichick wish he would have drafted.:cool:

I like it too, because its good to know what u have in players who are already on the team before u go into the draft. I would love for everybody thats getting playing time to step up and show they can be a valuable piece to the team and not force us to look for replacements in the draft and free agency. It makes upgrade things a whole lot easier.

Keiser has made it to the field pretty fast and been in the right place at the right time over the past few games. Honestly I think the sacks and the pick he has gotten have all been more a result of Hardy/Johnson and the QB taking too long to get rid of the ball. But he isn't supposed to be a starter, so that's good to jumpstart a guy into a solid support role.

I don't care about other receivers outside of the starters. I'd keep Pilares around because of special teams and he has an interesting blend of speed and build that could be developed.

Norwood used to get that rotation, and he didn't do much of anything. Keiser FTW!

Keiser will probably become a fan favorite very soon.. And i am honestly glad Fua will no longer be starting.. i hate he got hurt but i think at times he's played very soft. It will be really interesting to see who really steps up at DT.. Maybe this Shirley guy.. He is massive. And Senn has really impressed me also.. he plays much bigger than he is.

The thing with Fua is that he has actually played much better than many here seem to think, but when he makes a mistake, it's a glaring mistake so everybody notices. He also isn't actually playing soft, he's playing too high, which allows offensive linemen to control him. I believe it's Kalil that said he is strong as an ox, and when he gets his hands on you you don't go anywhere. But again, when you play high, it doesn't matter how strong you are.

So I think much of his offseason will be learning how to play with a lower pad level more consistently. But I do think he will be a solid player when he develops...probably not much of a playmaker or sack artist, but he should be good against the run and pushing the pocket when all is said and done.

Maybe at first but a couple years of it is a little much. Obvioulsy we were 'internally stalled'. I'd much rather see veterans making smart plays than watching potential every year. If you're always planning for the future you'll never win anything in the present.

that's why we made a coaching change..

I love what Senn has done. Not because he is "the new guy", but because he has done what Jason Williams, Omar Gaither, Thomas Williams et al couldn't do, namely play his position with discipline and give us stability at OLB.

The emergence of Keiser as a solid situational player is encouraging.

Pilares is making the most of his opportunities.

I also believe LaFell is finally learning how to be a pro in this league.

Now if we could just get someone other than Gamble to step up in the secondary...

was mentioned during a game (forget which) that Senn has earned himself a chance to start next year..

It was probably the game where his first tackle resulted in a forced fumble at the line of scrimmage. That was bad-ass.
