"Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser."—Vince Lombardi. Another quote I can't source has it that an assistant told him some of the Cowboys had frostbite after the Ice Bowl, prompting the response "Losers get frostbite." They named the SB trophy after him anyway. The ONLY way to shut up strutting thugs like the Seahawks is to make them choke on their own broken teeth: Period.Originally Posted by Traveler
Preaching to the choir; I hope it's as simple as always-fragile line chemistry disrupted by Clady and Ramirez having an unfamiliar partner between them, Franklin having different guys on BOTH sides at a spot he hasn't played since college, Vasquez having new company on his right and Clark swapping to a side where his strength can't overpower 280 lb. RDEs as it did 250 lb. LDEs. Maybe after three games together plus a bye to settle down, practice without pressure, watch film, get coached and learn each others strengths/weaknesses, it'll get better. I must hope so; what choice is there...?
This is my Madden fantasy; other than guard, RB is our only true weakness, but it's a glaring one that let's defensive linemen pin their ears back and tee off on Manning EVERY down while all the LBs drop into a 7 man coverage that leaves a SS playing robber for Chancellors Ints Sunday and in the SB instead of coming up to stuff the run like we love Ward doing. I just don't know how plausible or practical it is in the non-Madden real world where we don't have tons of cap space as it is, and do have multiple Pro Bowlers in their final rookie contract year.
