Stampede Blue Radio: Week Twelve Edition- Open Thread

 which franchise’s has the least amount of passing yards by there top QB ?? ( dont cheat on this question guys (shake,mgrex)). as a second which 2nd year offensive player is getting ready to break a franchise record next season??

I almost forgot, thank god I went to stampede blue right now just to check for updates

and cut the tradition

I don’t know if they can even make the playoffs.

Get ready for a revival of VY mania the week after this one

playing the Bills and Niners instead of Colts and Pats

The offense needs to be a lot more crisper. They are shooting themselves in the foot

Had freeney never gone down

That Baltimore is desperate

6th in NY/A against
11th in YPC against

The Pats will beat the Saints because the Saints have the most overrated defense in the league

is the number of injuries. I understand that alot of those players are coming back, but it still leaves a queezy feeling

they faced a McNabbless Eagles team that was also banged up on defense

if they lose Monday.

are the only top 5 team that have beaten 2 top 5 power ranked teams

Favre isn’t even the best player on his offense

be mention as a MVP candidate.

from a rookie wide receiver and 2 year receiver that alone should help his case for MVP.

no way hes mvp

if you follow KSK or the SBN Seahawks site you know how funny that is

its number you get per tote

Thats why I want more rotation between the two (Addai, Brown)

is attributed to the offensive line

The offensive line still arent that good at run blocking

Thomas and Brock will probably get a ton of PT

I think Johnson got alot of his big runs against the titans and that college option crap with young

are always the most dangerous

they didnt expect the bengals to flop

got to wrap up soon

i just got my radio connection up 1 min before BBS is done lol. also lost my internet in while trying and had to fix that

Thanks for listening live!

i want a blowout this week , Colts been a lil too cardiac lately

Wanted to catch some before I went out. Nice job tonight. I am going to offer a different opinion on Donald Brown, though. I fully understand your desire to see him have an impact game and really produce, and I like you’re Addai analogy. Joe has been destroyed by this fanbase prior to his first game as a Colt and is rarely given a pass. Yet Brown has been mentioned a lot as better than Addai (at least on this site, as well as others I’m sure). Doesn’t make much sense.

Yet, you said something along the lines of “a first round running back needs to be a big time player right away.” I agree to that somewhat, but not entirely. If you are a top 5-10 draft pick, then yes, you are expected to be putting up rookie of the year and potentially pro bowl numbers. That is why you get overpaid. For the most part, those guys do well (Benson didn’t get the memo until this year apparently). But for a guy who is drafted late first round like Brown, you can’t expect the world from him in his first season, especially when he is the no. 2 RB. I’m not saying they should be given a pass, but they can’t expect to be Chris Johnson either. I think a season like Addai had his rookie year is an acceptable expectation for fans, and I believe that is what you are trying to say, and I agree.

I have to disagree somewhat with you’re comment where you roughly said, “produce 60 yards next game or I don’t know why you were drafted” without considering that by being injured, he was never able to get into a comfortable groove. He missed 3 games, and any time a rookie misses 3 games, he will take time to re-adjust. A veteran RB can miss a couple and get back in without skipping a beat. They know the pro game and the team system all too well to make mental mistakes. Brown is still new to the pro game. Missing those 3 games is like getting sick and missing 3 straight classes in college, and trying to catch up on notes your roommate brings home to you. You won’t go to the next class with a seamless transition; the notes may have helped, but you’re still behind. In the same way, Brown is not going to come back from 3 games missed and explode out of the gate. As we saw from the Pats and Ravens games, he is still finding his way back. As for “production” you want to see, in the game he was hurt in, he rushed twice for 58 yards. He was going to have a huge game. The kid has the talent, he just needs to get re-acclimated. Don’t pounce on him too hard if he gets like 9 carries for 41 yards or something.

I know you’re not bashing Brown or anything, and I don’t fault you for expecting more in the Texans game and then some, but he is a good running back and I doubt anyone will be disappointed as long as they don’t expect back to back 100 yard game type of production. If he gets 10-15 carries a game from here on out, and puts up around 50-75 yards a game, as well as doing the non-flashy stuff like blocking, we should all be happy.
