I really don't understand how anyone can look at that guy and how he's played for the last 2 years and think he's going to get drastically better, which is basically what some are saying.

Guys who's biggest knocks are being physically maxed out without much upside don't get drastically better.

8.5 sacks, my prediction.

I have this crazy feeling that McBride will get more sacks than Hali...

Well, it might have to do with his being healthy after playing hurt the entire 2007 season and adding the best DT in the draft beside him. I know it's crazy to think that things like that might have a positive impact on his production.

As for 'drastically' better, well, I said 12, which would be a whopping 4 more than his careeer best, 4.5 more than last year, when he was hobbled. It's not like predicting an 8-INT season for William Bartee or something. I could see that reaction if I'd said 17 or something nutty like that.

how many sacks did jared have the year before last? comparable to hali's last year? 7.5 is the answer so from 7.5 to 15.5 is a pretty big jump right? now im not saying hali will get 15.5 but 10 -12 would be an acceptable (and not to far of a stretch) number
and jared NEVER had a DT next to him who was worth a shit

Dorsey is a rookie and an extremely difficult position to translate to...I think some may be expecting a little to much a little to fast.

so you think that dorsey (or tank for that matter) wont demand double teams? because no dt we've had in years has actually commanded doubles

The draft analysts were all slobbering over him, saying he was the best player to come out of this years draft overall. So i am going to have high expectations for him.

I think expecting him to be Sapp from day 1 of his rookie season is asking a bit much.

no one has said that, just sayin that he'll make the players around him better

That's asking him to be a pro bowl level player from day 1, it took Albert Haynesworth years to develop into that kind of player.

Could he sure, I'm just saying I wouldn't expect it, it's asking alot.

no one said pro bowl level either. only probowlers make others better? are you serious?

And he'll get doubled anyway because most LT's will be able to take Hali by themselves and we don't have another end.

I'm telling you the draft analysts were that close to whipping out there puds and jacking their meat about Dorsey when they talking on and on about him.

Then when we drafted him i thought "ok, hes as good as it gets."

Hes the real deal. I'm telling you.

man you are the greatest spinner in history. ok mecca you're right:rolleyes:
