we still seem to have growing pains... I think Ronnie is overrated due to the Pats game... if you look at his #s other than that historic showing, he has been pedestrian. Maybe due to the fact he shares with Ricky. Ginn is inconsistant, he has some good catches then misses that first down catch that was in his hands. Bess dropped a sure touchdown. Penalties have been killing us the last few weeks after being rather stingy all season prior. Ricky had a TD taken off the board due to a holding call. David Martin had that fumble in Rams territory after that wildcat play on a throw from Ronnie.
We still have a lot of holes to fill, I kind of feel like our 7 wins are due to smoke and mirrors almost -- but that's to our credit, we have a winning mentality when last year's crew would have tucked its tail in between its legs with any adversity. We have taken extremely good care of the ball, and Pennington has been an A grade pickup.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them let Carey walk as a free agent and replace Satele at center, either moving him to guard or cutting him. We need another DT in the worst way, no depth there behind aging Ferguson. If Porter is being neutralized, we have no pass rush, so another LB or two could be drafted early. Hopefully Smiley and Donald Thomas can recover from their injuries and be starters next year.
Looking at the free agents in the offseason,
