First off, did anyone go to the game and see if Jason Allen hit the field?
Second, I think sunday went okay. We have a sweet defense. No doubt. If we had and offense that could put up some points we would be fine. The good thing is that, unlike past years, we have some decent QBs. Culpepper needs to get himself right and he will be great. Joey looked good for his first game out against a confusing defense. I fully credit Joey for reducing the sack count. If he had 1.8 seconds to throw in Detroit, he now has 2.3 seconds and it seems he is pretty accurate (despite the 2 picks, one of which bounced of Welker's hands).
Third, lets see, at least our defense is better than Cincy's. We are gonna get a high to middle round pick in the first round this year. Hopefully a nice tackle will fall to us. Culpepper is gonna heal and be motivated by this obvious benching. Joey gets some experience. Jason Allen will soon be on the field.
Fourth, I've been thinking about our offseasons in the past 5-6 years. We have been, let's say, very Jet-like in our moves. Fletcher, Moore, Poole, Wade Smith, Two first rounders represented by a CFL rb that has played 1 of the last three years for us. We didn't even have a 2nd rounder in 2002. We are still reeling from all this Roster-Trauma (trademark). Our salary cap is tight and this is only Saban's second year. If our defense stays healthy and sharp for another year, I think that a few more freeagents, another good draft class, and more player development for the likes of Brown, Carey, Allen, and the new secondary, we should be okay. The fact that our D played with that kind of intensity yesterday proves that Saban has not lost control of this team. The season is another story. I think we are on the right track though.
Edit: add AJ Feeley and Lamar Gordon to the list as well as the miss on Brees. AHHHHHHH
