1. Albright - ESPN came out with a stat last year about the amount of revolutions a football should spin before it gets to the punter. It so happen that Albright was rated last in the league at this. ESPN attributed much of our punting problems on this aspect of his game. They said his ball was significiantly slower then other L Snappers. Do I think he is a good blocker yes!
2. What I meant by experience at DE was that I don't thiink we can only have Buzbee and Jarmon there as back-ups. I'd like to see us have Jarmon with Wynn a proven veteran back-up and get Rob ready. Makes sense now?
3. Kelly hasn't proven anything yet. Yes, thus far in the off season he has shown that he can run routes without the knee swelling. However, I want to see him last an entire 16 games before I declare him healthy enough. The wear and tear of an NFL season is much more difficult then just an off season. As a fan, you have to agree that we were limited last year at WR with only Moss, ARE, Thrash, and Thomas. I'd definitely go 6 deep this year to prevent this from happening again because Kelly hasn't proven fully healthy this year. Thomas has proven he is consistantly going to perform, and Mitchell is a rookie.
