He's coming off an arm injury.

Please let us win somehow.

The crazy thing about our secondary injuries from last week  is we sucked before that point therefore nothing really changed. If anything we may have gotten a bit better. Not promising victory but I promise a better performance. This is a step up or shut up game for the secondary! We have no more speculation after this batch!

Yeah Dockery and Thomas were our best corners last year, unfortunately i knew they were gonna get knocked down comin in to this year because of higher status guys like Munnerlyn and Norman (draft pick). Just toss it up to bad coaching again.

You post everyday but don't actually pay attention to the team?

Eli is a 2x Super Bowl Champion. Yet you think he'll be easier to stop than a rookie in his 2nd game? Your blind optimism rivals Ron Rivera's.

 

He may, we'll see. Our DEs were playing contain on Manuel and didn't seem to be going after sacks. With pressure Eli makes mistakes.

It is hard to get pressure when your corners play 10yd off the line. Eli will eat us alive hitting Nicks on quick slants.

All of our corners don't do that. Hopefully Captain, Dockery, and Florence play well enough that Norman doesn't sniff the field.

At first this might seem like I'm kidding but ........

Can we seriously ask nfl network the rights to discuss a contract with Leon sandcastle.

Dockery is not much of a drop off physically and may be a step up mentally.  He is a good tackler in an era where tackling can sometimes seem like a lost art.  That takes focus.  Focus is exactly what our DBs lack at crucial times.  Will he dominate Cruz or Nicks? No.  Will he be in the right place at the right time?  Yes.  More than we can say for Norman.

 

In terms of rattling Eli.  It can be done.  He is a phenomenal QB in the playoffs/superbowl, but on any given Sunday, Eli can suck.  He will turn the ball over.  His receivers need time to get open for him to have a great day.  If the d-line is really that good, and if they were ever going to come in and stomp on a QBs neck, it needs to be this week.

 

I would love to see something similar to how we rattled Matt Ryan in the pocket last year in Atlanta.  7 sacks plus at least one turnover.  We held him down for a long, long time.  Of course, he still managed to beat us (Nakamura) in the end, but it was the best I've seen Hardy/Johnson look together.  Now with Starr and Dwan and KK, this is really a great opportunity to see our line get great pressure with just 4 rushers.  Don't expect a lot of blitzing.  Chances are we won't need to.

 

I love that Dockery could be the beneficiary of our improved D line.

Glad to hear Doc is back on the field...definitely a good thing for the secondary.I think they also need to get Chase in the game flow as much as possible today,I know Beason needs the reps but he has been dismal in coverage, and Eli will be throwing it around the field.

Sometimes the player you need is already on the roster.  Manning will be a good test for him.

Being a homer for 4-6 straight years when the team sucks, then yelling "I told you so" when they squeak out a winning season doesn't Mae you right.

Um...Yes, yes it does. That's the cool thing about being a Homer. I'm never wrong.
