Must mean one of two things, either our O-line has gotten better, or the Miami O-line is going to be pitiful.
That only proves their oline sucks. He still completed a 19 yard pass which is more than any of our Qbs could complete.... Bu ya the Fins looked bad which is excellent
Key is... everyone is just assuming that Daunte will revert to his 2004 form... while nobody wants to acknowledge how bad he was last year. He looked like Daunte 2005 in the beginning of their game last night against basic defenses... wait until he has to read complex schemes.
It was probably just a little screen pass, as it is described as "short left" and then Minor ran for the majority of the yards.
Yep, everyone knows you can tell how good a unit and a season are by the first series in the 2nd preseason game. Riiiiiight. Some crazy people might actually wait until the games count before deciding that.
Whats silly is the trail of tears left by the uber sensitive, cry baby Dolphins fans that take every little bit of trash talk too damn seriously and feel they have to exhaust every last breath defending their team... when the reality is they don't belong on a Jets message board in the first place.
There were doubts Culpepper would even play this year. Culpepper played better in his first game back than any of the 4 Jet QB have played so far this preseason. He lead them on a 9 minute and 33 second scoring drive. He looked surprisingly good from the clips I saw.
Culpepper bounced back fine once the OL got more comfortable, and we scored a TD as a result on the 3rd possession. It was obvious that our OL was uneasy at the start of the game, but that's the way it goes sometimes.... I don't exhaust every last breath defending the Phinz, but at the same time, I'm not the kind of fan that's just going to sit back and say nothing either. This thread in itself is pointless in my opinion, and that's because pre-season means very little in terms of what a player is actually capable of.... As long as Culpepper remains healthy, he's a significant upgrade for the Phinz at QB. He will make our offense much better as a result. What else is really to debate??... Anyone belongs, it's a public message board. Also, being that we're a division rival, I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe we're just too intense for you....
Yeah, I saw that... good for him. That is the way it goes sometimes, unless its Chad Pennington then its attack of the Dolphins trolls... Yeah right. We've already had a couple of exchanges between the two of us, and speaking from experience you will beat a dead horse all afternoon on this forum. I agree, and I am not debating Culpepper's value here. If you go back and read my first post you will see I was using the example of the Jets O-line compared to the Miami O-line both vs. the same Tampa Defense as a measuring stick for how much the Jets O-line might have improved with the addition of Brick and Nick. I swear Dolphins fans have reading comprehension problems... HAHAHAHAHA.... yes. You nailed it. Way too intense. I am going to go cry right now.
The poor guy. It must be tough getting attacked by countless Phinz trolls over here at the ol' GG. :lol: Besides, although I don't think Pennington is all that great, I'm not the kind of person who really feels the need to go overboard making that known.... He is what he is at this stage as a QB, an injury prone veteran, who once had better than average skills prior to consecutive surgeries. What the future holds behind an unproven OL is unknown.... I understand what you're saying, but leaving out the TD drive{while you're trying to compare the two OL's}, is missing half the picture in my opinion.... How many 9 minute drives did the Jets OL have against the Bucs???....
Truth is I had posted that before that possession had ended in the TD, if I had known they would end up scoring I would not have posted it... the excitement of seeing Daunte getting sacked twice and fumbling got the better of me.
