I tried to wait until the off-season, Lord knows I tried, but I just................I just can't wait anymore. This is madness. Far be it from be to be the type to tell you that I told you so, but............................................I............SO!!....told you so. I don't know how much it's going to take for doubters out there to finally learn to trust the Sword, but you need to get with the times people.

Let's start with Timmy Jernigan. I, apparently, didn't know what I was talking about when I said that Jernigan would thrive in Philly, because he would have the same responsibilities there that he had here. Well, the idea that Dean Pees runs his share of 4-3 Under does not mean that every 4-3 Under scheme gives Defensive Tackles the same responsibility. Here, Pees wants his guys to contain. In Philly's wide 9 scheme, Jernigan is expected to attack, and has the space to do so with the Ends taking such wide angles. Even though he himself is not racking up the stats, his presence in the middle is setting up the edge rushers to get to the QB. Suddenly, Jernigan looks like the player we scouted, leading up to the draft. Will he become complacent after getting paid, none of us know. However, there is no doubt that he was miscast here, like many before him. Leading him to take the heat for a Defensive Coordinator who got his coaching degree from BCCC.

Speaking of the defense, is....is that.......oh look.......Tony Jefferson is covering 20 yards deep..................................LIKE I FUCKING SAID HE WOULD!! But noooooooooooooooooooooooo, the Excellector, precious light magic sword of the Great King Austin Lyle Forrester didn't know what it was talking about. It was pulling stuff out of its ass and, apparently, never watched Jefferson play in Arizona. Oh, I watched Jefferson play in Arizona. I also watched how far better coaches utilized him properly in their scheme. In all of his years of being the Defensive Coordinator in New England and Baltimore combined, Dean Pees has never, EVER, used a Safety the way that Jefferson is supposed to be used. I told you yahoos that he'd have Jefferson playing out of his element, 20 yards downfield, and here we are, wondering why Jefferson looks confused as another TD is given up in the corner of the end zone.

I actually feel bad for the defensive players. Especially Kamalei Correa. Granted, I wanted Spence or Jack if they were going to go defense at that spot and Spence is now hurt, but Correa still showed some skills on tape that could translate to a guy who could be a decent two dimensional OLB. He was very good going forward and just attacking the ball. He needed to improve his hand technique, but showed the relentlessness that you want to see and finished plays. It was no surprise to me that the team, unfortunately, took the handful of snaps he played at ILB and figured that they could put him there full time. It was no surprise to me that they overloaded the kid and it's no surprise to me that he's sucked at ILB, because quite frankly, even in limited time, HE SUCKED AT IT IN COLLEGE! All he can do is go forward and even then he struggled to get off of blocks against the run from ILB at Boise State. Every weakness you see from him Inside is a weakness he showed at BSU inside. However, instead of accentuating his positives, they put him in better position to have his weaknesses completely exposed. Now, the best we could hope for is another Defensive Coordinator to get one Paul Kruger year out of him before he leaves for big money.

For some reason unknown to the Land of Verdite or the nWo, posters actually bought into the asinine fallacy that Pees never coached more aggressively, because he didn't have the guys. WRONG. You know what you did. You allowed your hope to cloud your judgment and got sick and tired of the Sword being right. So, you were clamoring for anything to come about that would prove him wrong, because you still operate under the assumption that the Sword says things and makes claims just to make them. One day, you'll learn that there is a lot of thought behind the claims that I make.

And while we're at it..............FUCK THE ROMAN EMPIRE. Rome wasn't built in a day, but quite frankly it needs to be blown right straight to hell in the next 24 hours. Blues Brothers car pile up, cliche action movie explosion, Mick Foley off the Hell in the Cell, Bc's Sister-in-Law. STRAIGHT TO HELL.

Here is what some posters do not realize about the clusterfuck that John Harbaugh created when he brought in Greg Roman to implement his inside trap scheme. If anyone remembers the Eagles offenses under Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg, they were based off of West Coast concepts with a blend of complex screens to utilize the skillset of Brian Westbrook and deep passes to take advantage of McNabb's ability to extend plays and his better deep accuracy (Compared to his short accuracy). Those screens were predicated on Zone schemes, using huge, but athletic offensive linemen who could get to a spot quickly and understood zone discipline. Thus, they were the best screen team in the league, partly, because you never knew which direction the screen was going to go. There were many plays (For those who remember watching them), where the defense actually sensed that a screen was coming, but couldn't stop it because the screen went in a surprisingly different direction. They had the line pieces, the backs and the coach. The system was in place for years. Even when Andy gave up play-calling, he still oversaw it. Thus, Juan Castillo was actually made to look good, much like he was when Kubiak was here.

By bringing in Greg Roman, John took those screens concepts and blew them to smithereens, annihilating a sizable portion of Marty's playbook, because the inside trap scheme has very different principles and requires very different linemen. So, a year after Marty was forced to run Trestman's scheme, he now has to figure out how to recreate a good portion of his playbook to get those screens working with Roman's blocking scheme and..................NEWSFLASH..........................IT SUCKS!! ITS THE PITS!! Which I tried to tell you it would be, but once again I just spout off stuff for the hell of it apparently.
