What Matty meant was he isn’t a guy who can start 16 games. Hopefully ricky gets a long rest and has a good final season as Ronnie’s backup

He rushed for something like 1200 yards and wasn’t the starter until Ronnie got hurt, in what was what, the 5th game? Not sure. Wasn’t it last week that he showed great speed beating a Houston Texan around the edge for a T.D.? That isn’t slow.

I don’t know what kind of rock Matty is smokin’, but Ricky was beastly. It is not his fault that the past 3 games our defense has given up an average of 20 points in the first half. What do you expect him to do when we are routinely trailing by 2-3 scores going into the 2nd half.

we need new linebackers ASAP, I hope we pick OLB MLB with passion out of the draft or through trade and free angency. I wish we could get someone with the fire and passion like Ray Lewis. We have no name ILB and our OLB are getting old and Im sure Taylor wont be back, b/c he wants a ring and I dont blame him. Cam Wake is only a great QB rusher not a great coverage but I see tons of potential in him and if he keeps it up I just might buy his jersey. I wish we couldve gotten either Rey Maualuga or Clay Matthews or the other USC linebacker because they are doing really great for their teams.

Im not going to lie, we need a more dominant NT. Im a huge fan of Paul Soliai and we are both samoan lol but he has his on and off games, he’ll be a great 2nd string behind a guy like kris jenkins or something. I did notice that Paul Soliai was a OLineman converted into DTackle, maybe we can use him on the oline too with his size and speed, our oline is not that good except Longs side of the line.

Ricky is not the same Ricky anymore, He has fumbled so many times this year and if you look at it, when he has the ball he falls down on first contact. He’s not the bulldozer anymore, He’s great when Ronnie Brown is in with him at the same time. I do sort of hope he retires as a dolphin this year so we can have young strong backs with Brown and Polite and Cobbs.

Hey Matty, who are your predictions on who we are getting in the draft?

I agree with you, we needed channing in the middle this game. He is a dominant run stopper, he does need help in the pass game though.

I was really surprised with henne sidelined, but hey 2011 is ours baby

I wish he would have been on the sidelines at the games talking to henne and giving him advice.

if Cobbs, Brown, Fergy Ferg were here it would be a WHOLE different ball game. I believe we would have won against the Bills, Titans, Steelers. Brown is the epicenter of the wildcat which kills the clock, Cobbs is dynamic wherever you put him, Ferguson is just a beast in that middle and Soliai is a great backup to him.

not to be a jerk but I like seeing Thigpen as the 2nd quarterback instead of white. I would like to see white play running back or slant reciever instead of QB.

the games that we have lost were ALL close except Atlanta…………

we need the big tuna to finish the puzzle this year and then we will be Playoff contenders next year.

we could be lions fans, saying to ourselves “it won’t be ever” every year

we are 12th

new draft order is 10th

looks like he may have jammed his finger.

it’s Henne, then everyone else.

Actually I think when people hate on young players, they jump the gun to criticize. Henne didn’t really get on the field until his 2nd year, giving him all kinds of time to watch and learn from Pennington. So White gets 3 games to learn from Pennington and then Penny gets hurt. White was a playmaker WVirginia and he’s sure to be a playmaker and a good backup. It’s unfair to criticize him at this point, and to say he can’t take a hit… I think the hit Ike Taylor landed on him would have knocked out anyone. It was an awkward fall and if he wasn’t tripped up from behind he wouldn’t have taken the hit to the helmet.

I guess all I’m saying is if you doubters start to praise White when he plays well next year, go suck one.

sure there were a few LB’s taken after White in that round, but none of them have made much of an impact at all this year. 3 Guys that everyone wanted in round 2 were gone within 6 picks before ours came up (Rey Maualuga, Ron Brace, Everette Brown). We could sit here and bitch about the wasted pick, but our QB position was still a huge question mark, and Parcells has already said that he thinks the spread option can be successful in the NFL. It’s why he believes Tebow will be a top ten pick.

So… I’m thinking of other guys we could’ve gotten, I’m looking at the draft, and there’s not much. Massaquoi maybe. The best pick in round 2 after Pat White was Sean Smith, and we got him too.

relax a little

The key statistic for a QB is completions….
Do you know how many completions Pat White has in the NFL?

Zero…. he was given 5 attempts to throw the ball, and connected on ZERO.

Now, you say…“Its only 5 attempts”…but guess what, there is a reason he only got 5 attempts…and thats because he’s not accurate, he’s not consistent, and here it is…he’s not a good Quarterback….he’s an option QB at best.

Noone cares what he did at WV, why? Because Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, and Chris Leak all did AWESOME in College, and sucked in the NFL….its a different game.

Henne needs some work.. But I believe he can be the guy. Although I really liked what I saw in Thigpen the 1st 2 drives he ran.

he doesn’t see the field unless Henne was hurt, which he was. Stop making up conspiracies.

Santonio Holmes threw the interception to Bell on a gadget play.

Which he’s not.

White is wasting a roster spot, if anything he needs to be the emergency QB.
Thigpen can do all of the things that Pat White is Rumored (and I use that word for a reason) to be able to do…. And Thigpen has had completions and experience in the NFL game.

10 games is where I’d put my money.

Resign him at a discount, and start scouting new RB’s to draft for the future.

did you forget about Cobbs? Lex is great but Cobbs is greater in my oppinion.

Look, Comparing Pat White to Darren Sproles is ludacris….why? They play different positions, they were drafted in different Rounds, and …..oh yeah, they play Different Positions.

The only comparison I’ll give you between Sproles and Pat White that holds true, is they both have the same # of completions in the NFL…ZERO.

Pat White is 0 for 5, with a sack.

We didn’t draft Pat White to be a “Playmaker”…and if we did, he hasn’t shown us anything other than 1 run, and 1 pitch. 2 plays, out of 21 rushes…..and his average is 3.9 yards per carry.
I’m sorry, thats not a Playmaker…..that’s a substandard running back. We can’t even call him a QB, since he hasn’t had a completion, although 20% of the time he’s been sacked. He’s not as good as the WR’s on the team…he is the worst of our 3 QB’s, AND, we are already loaded at RB…..so…where does he fit in?

People need to stop making comparisons with him at WVU….WVU, was a college program, and didn’t play a tough schedule, also, college programs only have 3-5 above average althletes on a team…. the NFL has a 53. What you did in college, doesn’t matter. Just look at JaMarcus Russell, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinhart, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, etc…. Its a different game. Think of it as Kimbo Slice fighting in the backyard….he’s deadly. Put him in a cage, and he’s below average….. That’s Pat White.

Stop worrying about a BandWagon for Pat White…… you have to have a band willing to play before you can get a wagon to ride…. and unfortunately, noone wants the job.

He didnt see anyone open (most likely cus he is like what.. 4 foot 5 inches tall?) Seriously.. he is too short to be an NFL QB. I have been saying that since he was drafted. He will never be a quality NFL QB. NEVER no matter how much people wish it.. beg for it.. hope for it.. it is not going to happen.

Strength of schedule.

after hitting the ground then the only choice you have is to hold him out.
