Lets keep our fingers crossed with Clifton. We know he can handle Allen and that's my biggest worry. Nice that we have an extra day too.

In all fairness Clifton's matchups against Allen deserve a closer look. Everyone is quick to point out how he handled Allen week 1 of last year (and the previous year when we played Kansas City); however, that big country bumpkin redneck mullet wearing d-bag ran wild over Clifton in the game at the dome last year.

That's true, But Allen is tough and I think Clifton was having pretty bad knee problems at points last year. Lets hope his ankle wont be bothering him.

Clifton might not be able to stop him all by himself anymore. Especially not while he's still feeling his ankle. If you double-team him with Colledge and Clifton, though, he shouldn't go anywhere.

Yes, I'd take the gamble and put Pat and Kevin one on one with Spitz and Sitton in the passing game. Then put Barbre one on one with Edwards. If he's struggling with that, please bench his ass.

If they try to line up Allen on the other side, just double team him on there. Let Barbre overrun the play a little and let Sitton take the inside. On a 4 man rush, we really shouldn't have that big an amount of trouble. Then again, this is all theoritically.

Stopping Allen is the key. Thre's a reason why they signed him to such a big deal. The pass rush was absolutely horrible without him. Their big DTs are mainly run stoppers. They're really not that amazing rushing the passers.

I worry about Allen one on one with Colledge. I think it's going to be a long day for Colledge if that's his task.

I don't know about you guys, but I am acclimating myself to life after Clifton. I think he's done. I believe this is the final year of his contract, right? He's done. His body is just too broken down.

Clifton will shut the DE down, no problem. It's his holding and false starts that bother me. lol

I think Clifton is done too, but Colledge isn't a LT. I much rather have someone out there who can play the position than someone who should be playing inside.

Although if one of them can play average to above average football, Clifton would be my guess at tackle that is.

I don't think Clifton is "done". Maybe not be as good as he used to be, but he's still VERY solid, I'm not too worried about about an ankle injury. I think Clifton is just taken for granted a bit I think. The only issue with him for me is his penalties.

the issue for Clifton is more and more and more and more and more and more of these little nagging injuries. I mean, ankles, hips, shoulders, knees... he's falling apart. I almost wish he would call it a career while he still has some hope of being able to walk and stand up straight ten years from now. I feel really bad for the guy. He's in a terrible spot. He has the skills, for sure, but his body has surpassed the breaking point.

I agree. I just wish we had a better insurance policy if he hangs it up.

We need a premier LT to protect our stud QB.

Were going to get some things cleaned up, and then were going to put a full week of work into Minnesota, McCarthy said.



omFg! I smiled when he said 'whirlybirds' but this we're going to clean it up crap has been said and NOT done. Find a new freaking line man! If we ain't believing it, how the hell is the team expected to?

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
