Well here we are 6-1 with the bye week. I'll take that record any year.I could live without the broken legs though. We gotta start putting our guys through a bone density scanner before we sign them.

But the best thing about 6-1 is that this team hasn't played up to it's potential yet. And how could they with the injuries? No time to gel together. But we should be getting some guys back soon and then look out for the Green Machine.

Earlier this year I said Cates was the man and he has really proved it so far. Not a flashy RB but damn he's effective. And he gets stronger as the game goes on, fantastic conditioning.

Our D-line needs to get it together quick though. Chunky is playing decent and Kitwana is OK but damn we need something from the other two. Schultz is half the player he used to be and I blame that on the front office making him drop weight this offseason. Somewhere along the line he dropped most of his game too. He's getting owned by guys he used to smack around and it aint pretty to watch. I'm hoping he spent the bye week at a buffet. We need Chick back soon.

Our LBs are great run stoppers. Nobody can run against these guys and that's great. But they just plain can't cover the short inside stuff. I could get open on these guys and I aint fast. It's painful to watch when we get a team in second and 7 and you know they are throwing inside and you know it will be complete. Got to get that fixed or the 6-1 start will be just a nice memory.

Our DBs are solid for the most part. But damn Morgan you got to play tough. No more backpedalling BEFORE THE SNAP. You just aint got the closing speed anymore to make up for the soft ass cushion. Lose the cushion and rely on the safety to help out if they beat you deep but don't give up 7-15 yarders by being soft. The longer the pass the easier it is for help to arrive but on the short stuff it's just you and a 7 yard cushion makes it too easy.

I aint even gonna look at the O because of injuries. The line, the QBs, the receivers, the back up RBs, they have all went down. And still managed to win 6 games. Thank you Wes Cates.

Special teams has the potential to be great. But right now that potential depends on the blocking. And so far it aint there. Give Dressler a crease and let him run. The kid is excitement waiting to happen but he can't run through walls.

That's it for today folks. And anybody that wants to party this weekend it's my 40th. We are starting in my backyard Saturday around 5 and then hitting The Drink later on.
