Tuesday Camp Report

[Partial]

I am thinking 10-6. With their monsterous schedule that will turn out to be pretty damn good.

Partial if they go 10-6 you can spank my ass and call me Betty. Then at least you can stop asking me to let you do it.

Well, I figure they will win 4 or 5 of the division games. I think they'll drop the roadies to the Lions and Bears.

I think they will beat Carolina, Oakland, and Washington at home. That's 7-8 wins.

Between the road games @NY, @Denver, @KC (tough place to play), and @St.Louis, I think they're a better team than St. Louis (they will need their corners healthy to win this game), and a better team than KC (however it is very tough to win at Arrowhead), and maybe NY too. I could see us winning at NY as well. I think we take 2 out of these 4 games. That puts us at 9-10.

Hopefully, we get lucky and beat the Eagles or the Chargers. That's how I came up with 10-6.

Our schedule is pretty ridiculous this year. Lots of tough road games.

Partial, you're optimism is almost contagious is so genuine. I just dont see it happening. Young teams lose games they should win and vise versa. Bookmark this thread for December.

Well, we did predict a difference of only one game. I think they'll squeek another one out. They've got some more depth at the key positions where there players have historically had a hard time staying healthy (Tauscher, Clifton), DLine, and CB.

They really need Brandon Jackson to be a good player and get 4 yards/carry. If they can do that consistently and have 3rd and short I think they'll be alright.

Last year they threw the ball entirely too much. 8-8 is probably the most likely scenario based on looking at the division. 9-7 would be mean they are getting it done at home where they have follied in years past. 10-6 means they stepped up against a good team and won in addition to winning their key home games. 7-9 or less would be underachieving in my opinion.

We'll see how it turns out. We should get a formal prediction and breakdown thread for the upcoming year and see how it comes true.

[Zool]

Agreed. After the final PS game and cuts, bust out a 2007 PR record prediction thread.

[Bretsky]

You guys are so quick to judge. Already some of you idiots are saying Harrell is a bust and he has not even played one regular season game yet. How about you wait until the guy actually gets into shape and has a few games under his belt before you start pulling the Jamall Reynolds card on him.

The way I see it, some of the people who think Harell will suck are probably idiots and some of the people who think he will be good are probably idiots

Surely we can all agree that the making of an idiot has nothing to do with Justin Harrell or your viewpoint on the Green Bay Packers

[Fred's Slacks]

I think we have to cut Harrell a little more slack. I've never played d-line but I can understand how riding a bike or running on a treadmill doesn't get d-linemen in football shape. Its very difficult to simulate the collisions and the stress you get in the trenches. The only way to get that is through practice and games which we know he hadn't been in for nine months. He was also very limited in the weightlifting he could do in that time. I have no reason to believe he won't get there and it always seems to take dt's a season or two to find their groove.

So, yeah, we probably won't get the results we hoped for this year, but if he truly was the BPA when we picked him then I am glad we did. We may not need him now, but very well could in a year or two.

Can I have a turn? I've been saying 10-6 all offseason.

I hope you're not implying that I can't be an idiot without saying that Harrell is a bust!

I haven't seen Harrell in person. On TV he looks soft and goofy, but then so did Mark Tauscher and we know how he turned out. As long as he works hard and remains coachable I think he'll get snaps in games and I'll bet he bats down at least three passes this year--he has a ridiculous knack for doing that. The guy doesn't seem to have a big push and he's always getting beaten in the one on ones in camp and yet he seems to be disruptive in an unorthodox way. Hey, if he's as good as a guy like Santana Dotson was he'll end up being an okay pick if not necessarily a genius pick for that spot in the draft.

I remember seeing Jamaal Reynolds in training camp. He walked right by me with his shirt off and he so did not look like a defensive end. He was about the same size and build as Terrell Owens. No flipping way he weighed 265! He might have weighed 245. How could Wolf/Sherman have made that blunder?

Am i the only one that thinks Partial enjoyed that a lil too much?

Sure give it a go. After the first couple it'll be numb anyways.

The Giants are not going to be very good this year imo. I think we can almost assume they'll start out 1-1 or 2-0. I realize it's an away game which is always tough, but lets break this down:

We have a very good pass rush and Eli does not handle pressure well. He has a knack for throwing off his back foot when the heat is coming and just kind of tosses it up.

Their running game is going to be interesting. They lost Tiki, but I believe they have their entire OL returning and that will certainly help Jacobs. Clearly, this will take a step back though.

Plaxico Burress hasn't played all of camp. He has been nursing a high ankle sprain and said in an interview he is going to tough it out but expects it to be sore for a few more weeks. If he's not getting a good break off the line, our pass rush is going to get to Eli and wreak havoc.

Shockey will be good. He always is. We can handle him, though.

Their defense is overrated. Their corners are getting old. Their ends are overrated. Strahan will probably be playing by that time but certainly won't be in usual pro-bowl form.

Our specialists are far better than theirs.

I like our chances.

[RashanGary]

I agree with your view of the Giants, Partial. They are very similar to the declining Packer teams of a couple years ago. They had good talent, but it's aging and their window is closing fast. I wouldnt' be suprised to see a 6-10 year out of them.

I did watch there last preason game, the one person who stuck out to me was Steve smith from usc. In the time he played i thought the 3-4 catches he had were pretty nice ones.

I think he got hurt this week. Don't know how serious it is, though.
