If Lovie doesn't put somebody else in at quarterback I'm going to be pissed! We can't go on like this. If Orton can't manage the game he's useless. Atleast Rex can put some points on the board.
How bout we get a touchdown via passing eh? That would be nice. Get Forte involved in the passing game more since Kyles "forte" (haha no pun intended) is those short passing within 5-15 yards.
I'm not a fan of D Manning either. I think he's a terrible coverage guy, always gets beat deep or he's late on the coverage. His tackling is good, just as long as nobody makes a move or anything.. He's fast, that's about it.
Ya think the D will be ready to play then?! Lol I bet they can't wait, they all hated him.

Well he's not scoring because nobody kicks it to him. He's just as dangerous as he was last year. I just don't think he'll pan out as a wide receiver. They should just put him on kickoff/punt return duties and forget everything else. That way he can just focus on that. I don't think he gets how to play WR, that's just my personal opinion from watching him.
I'd love to see the spread offense work in the NFL similar to what Illinois does or perhaps go more passing oriented like Missouri. That offense is fun to watch. But then again, every one is on a new and improved level when you go from college to the pros. If you have the right athletes I'm sure something like this would work.
This is why we should have just let Hester play through his contract instead of giving him the money now. He's never going to earn that money unless he becomes a steve smith which in all likelyhood will never happen.
He called atleast 4 WR screens (Or zero yard routes) today and none of them resulted in a gain of more than 6 yards. We don't have any Santana Mosses or Steve Smith's on our team. Hester is the only receiver that should get screens called for him because he's fast and agile enough to maneuver through it. I'd like to see Forte more out of the passing game and line up the same time as Kevin Jones. Atleast make the offense creative. I liked the WR end around that resulted in a 17 yard gain by Rashied Davis but that was just about all the creativeness the old man had up his sleeve. He's so predictable.
Thank You.
Except for Turner. He called a great game for the 1st quarter and a half. After that he was pathetic. Of course Olsen's fumble changed what we wanted to do but how many times will it take him to figure out that the WR screen's don't work with our personnel, and stretch run plays rarely ever work!
You can add Booker too. He would have had a touchdown on that one long pass. Maybe we should just chuck it to Hester more often. He may be the only player Orton CAN'T over throw.
