    Can't tell if serious?:p
    Well.. besides falling down and not being able to locate the ball, a lot of the mistakes of the "defensive backfield" had to do a lot with not being positioned
    correctly or so wade says.

    Infinite diff on Kareem in 4 areas. Rookie, matched up against a great player, w the pressure of being a #1 cb, with **** safeties... Vs 2nd yr, matched up against #2 wr's, w less pressure, w average safeties behind him

    Such a huge diff and why I'm not worried ab him

    Vickers is just as capable as Vonta who is severely overrated now because of the great year Arian had.

    It's not that he's not good, he was. He was an elite FB. Vickers is very good as well but is probably a little better of a pass catcher.

    Yea baby, that's what I like to hear! Those little fullback dumpoffs are always a nice solid gainer.

    for the contract that leech got all you can say is god-speed and hope you have a great career... heres hoping that we can pull in a serviceable replacement at FB, pick up some D-line and LB depth, as well as get a punter and maybe add Randy Moss.

    I've never seen him play but I heard on 610 McClain says he is a solid leading blocker but isn't very fast and can not catch too well. However Leach only had 8 receptions last year which I was very surprised. I think he will be a solid replacement if we can sign him.

    I totally forgot about him coming into town yesterday... I haven't heard any updates on him at all since then. Anything come of it?

    I am being serious and completely agree with kaleidosky. You also have to take into account that our defensive coaches were worthless beyond belief.

    Kareem Jackson may fall down, but he always gets right back up. I have faith in him as the number two with JJo on the other side with Manning and Quin behind him.

    Kareem is obviously an easy target and scapegoat. He needs to show a lot of improvement but it's too early to completely write him off

    Anybody know the numbers of Arian Foster's contract??? I can't believe this is lost in the shuffle, but I'm curious to see the length and price of his contract.

    Agreed, I didn't even know that he was up for a new contract... My immediate thought when I saw that tweet was that it might have been a mistake. Any other links out there?

    No, just the article on the texan's website about their signing of FAs before training camp.

    Nevermind, he just signed the exclusive rights tender, so he's basically here for 1 year until he's a FA. We can still offer him a contract mid season though I think.

    Does anybody know if there is anything that is coming to light with this? I think Randy Moss (of old as mentioned by agent) would make teams fear us if they don't already don't like crazy. We need a nightmare freakishly talented good team. Atleast for the freaking fans man!

    Interesting no one's really taking a look at Randy Moss. Even the offensively-challenged Jets signed Plax over him. Has he soured on that many teams?

    Foster's deal is for $525,000.
