1997 We had a new tough coach to change the attitude of the team We had an underachiving WR have a good season in Key (what I am hoping for from Coles, McCareins) We had a weak armed veteran QB replaced by young vet (Odonell for foley, like chad for Ramsey or Clemens) We had a mediocre running game (what I expect this year) We went 9-7 1998 Vinny takes over for injured Foley (maybe where clemens takes over full time) We brought in a stud running back in curtis (Adrian Peterson?) We traded our top pass rusher in Hugh Douglas (like abe) We pick up a great center in Mawae (Mangold) Picked up good vet defenders like Bryan Cox (Brad Kassell) We go 12-4 and play in the AFC Championship game It is possible to have a good season
history does have a knack for repeating itself. I would be quite happy if we went 9-7.....but anything over 5 wins means we WON'T be landing Adrian Peterson
We don't, but if things go as he says then we will bring in a stud RB from somewhere and peterson is as good an example as any.
I'm just saying we can get a stud RB next year. May not be peterson (esp. if we go 9-7) but we will be able to get a very good RB in the draft, or trade or free agency. Maybe, just maybe Houston or Washington might turn into a franchise back Peterson plays at Oklahoma and is a junior
ooo hes still in college....then why is every1 saying were gonna get him if hes soo good hell go in the top round.....ps i think if we have the first round draft pick or top 3 sumething like that, we trade penningtion, trade cleemons, trad blaylock and draft brady quinn that guys gonna be on of the best qbs......
