Post Draft Accountability Index Update

stujo4 — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 03:15:33 -0000

Lots of prognosticating over the last few weeks, let's get to it. Vote in the poll!!

Date	Name	Assertion	Remarks	Resolution
Apr 15 2013	satch	Seneca Wallace wins the back-up job for the entire year	Ryan Griffin (Tulane) is cheaper, better, and will actually get applause and photo requests.
Apr 16 2013	aburton531	Seneca Wallace will hold the clipboard perfectly fine in NOLA.	He'll be lucky if they let him wear an earbud in preseason before sending him home.
Apr 16 2013	Dragon Ninja warrior	Luke McCown would get cut before Wallace.	Wallace took a year to call his contacts, trying to get a job. At least McCown worked out.
Apr 16 2013	Dragon Ninja warrior	Wallace will come close to or top the yards thrown by Brees in preseason.	Sounds like some kind of coldpizza inspired technical sucker bet. I am wary.
Apr 17 2013	Billy Gomila	Trusts that LSU OT Chris Faulk will go in the first 4 rounds.	Signing with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent is essentially similar to being drafted in the 4th round.	He started 15 games at LSU, 1 game as a junior before his giant gut caused his right knee to implode. Good luck to him and to Billy with his trust issues.
Apr 17 2013	stujo4	Tyrann Mathieu will be a viable NFL player, 2nd string at worst.	He doesn't interview well, but he did volunteer for hourly pee tests with the Cardinals, so... trending up.
Apr 18 2013	stujo4	Alec Ogletree will be widely considered a bust before the 2015 season.	Why did I say bust? I meant subject to repeated league disciplinary actions. GAAA!!
Apr 18 2013	jacobjosey0	Not wrong last year about baseball football or basketball and 10-6 Saints lose to the Cowboys in the playoffs	And yet, jacob refuses to capitalize on his talent at Harrah's or in PowerBall. Let's give him a big hand!
Apr 18 2013	clowns on the NFL network	Saints lose to ATL (1st wk) then win in week 12	N_O_1saintfan is not amused. Falcons had a pretty good draft.
Apr 20 2013	cajuncommando58	Saints sweep Atlanta AND division	Fun fact: Late shift workers tend to "overindulge" more than day workers.
Apr 22 2013	jeff	jeff and Andy Reid think Alex Smith is the s***.	Jeff loves the accuracy, which comes with short passing game managers. Chiefs had a crappy draft, this should be interesting.
Apr 22 2013	stujo4	Ogletree and Te'o both fail to meet expectations. Te'o does comparatively worse.	The Chargers traded up to take Te'o at #38 and project him to start if he promises to always tell the truth.
Apr 24 2013	aryanspecial	Thinks Ogletree is the s***, preferred over John Jenkins who will be there at pick #25	Ogletree fell to #30. Jeff Fisher thinks he can make a law abiding adult out of him.
Apr 24 2013	Jason Bernos	Alex Okafor is going to be one hell of a pro	Rotoworld.com: Okafor isn't special in any area, but does everything pretty well.
Apr 24 2013	aburton531	Can't see Sam Montgomery falling to the 5th round	Drafted by the Texans near the end of the 3rd	Rotoworld.com: Besides the fact that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed -- and we're being kind -- Montgomery's biggest red flag is his lackadaisical first step. Lacking explosion and edge-bending ability, he is more of an undersized power end, and those don't always translate well. Apr 26
Apr 26 2013	jeff	LT Lane Johnson is a 2x+ pro bowl talent	Even Chip Kelly admits that LaneJo is "raw" and has "technical things" he needs to work on. He may start at RT.
Apr 26 2013	stujo4	Eric Reid will have a better NFL career than Kenny Vaccaro	I blurted this out in a post round 1 state of depression. I don't like that Harbaugh guy.
Mar 17 2013	Jray2000	Premature to cut Greer	We may see how much juice Rob Ryan has if he doesn't think Greer can cut it. (Probably could have phrased that less vividly)
Apr 20 2013	Dave	If the Saints don't draft a CB in the first round, Greer is your starting cornerback.	Well, we haven't had camp yet. @They could still cut him.@
Mar 21 2013	jeff.l.b	DT Brandon Williams will go by the 12th pick in the SECOND round.	Near the end of the 3rd, 94th overall.	D-II Missouri Southern State probably had something to do with it. Where the hell IS that??
Mar 21 2013	Jason Bernos	DT Brandon Williams might sneak into the back end of the second	Oh no. He snuck into the bottom of the 3rd.	You guys need to recalibrate your boards for 2014.
Apr 2 2013	russty	Mickey will draft Alec Ogletree	Prime example of why this list exists. Everyone, especially russty, had forgotten about this bold prediction.	russty, of course, forgot it the minute he typed it. Hair of the dog, russty!!
Apr 2 2013	russty aburton531	The Patriots select John Jenkins with their first round pick	Hoodie had 2 picks in round 1, and yet the Saints took him in the middle of the 3rd.	russty don't care, he likes how it turned out. aburton waffles and lists 6 other candidates who could have been considered.
Apr 5 2013	Philinwood	Thinks we overpaid for Keenan Lewis	Phil likes a bargain. Phil would rather run a cheap franchise than win. Phil admires Omar Sharif who now underfunds the Jaguars.
Apr 5 2013	Stujo4 Ship	2013 Saints D will/will not improve by 10% of yards allowed	Payton only insisted on one offensive player in the draft. I'm feeling good about this.
Apr 8 2013	jeff organictallman	Kenny Vaccaro will be drafted in the 1st round, not 2nd or 3rd per NFL.com	Did anyone really KNOW what was going to happen? Why is this so hard to predict? Why aren't team needs and preferences accounted for instead of touting the players that WE like?	It's not about Vaccaro's draft value. It's his PERCEIVED draft value. By the NFL TEAMS, you see. Lucky guess, jeff and oTman.
Apr 8 2013	organictallman	2 safeties go in the first round	This stems from my assertion to oTman that nobody drafts a safety in the top 10. He's trying to rub it in.	Well I guess we are both right and we can agree to disagree, and it is what it is. But what did the NFL TEAMS think, hmmm?
Apr 8 2013	aburton531	Vaccaro won't last past the 21st pick	I just don't like flashy guys who play for Texas. HOOK ‘em!	Unless the Saints draft them. HOOK ‘em, Bevo!!!!
Apr 12 2013	Dave	Devery Henderson will be on the roster in September	4/27/13-Mickey Loomis: "...probably not part of our plans this season" He said "probably"!! Not "definitely"!! Right Dave?
Apr 12 2013	cajuncommando58	DT John Jenkins goes in the first round	Man, Clayton REALLY likes this kid. How ‘bout them dawgs??	The cooler heads of PayLoo prevailed and traded up in the 3rd round to get their big fat guy. 346 lbs!
Apr 13 2013	jonrockets	If Ivory gets picked up by the jets, Payton takes a RB in the 3rd or 4th round	jon is still scarred and suffering from PTSD due to the 2010 season that featured Julius Jones, Ladell Betts, and Ivory's 716 rushing yards.	We're ok at RB, jon. Ingram and Sproles and PT and Cadet can manage the running game. Be happy for TUSK!!, he gets to play AND get paid $$$.

NFL Scouting: You can't handle the truth

NFL Scouting: You can't handle the truth

Here's a nice article on why the best scouting in the world is useless if you refuse to listen to them, among other things. Skim it if you must, but read the Alex Smith story. Excellent.

"Where do scouts fit into this equation? ... the common theme is to speak when spoken to. And, if you’re going to speak, to pick your spots with care -- because you’re navigating a career minefield."

Jabari Greer=nickel back if not cut

stujo4 — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:04:43 -0000

Jabari Greer=nickel back if not cut

Via extrapolation, rotoworld writers conjure this up: "The Saints are emphasizing physical press-man corners under new coordinator Rob Ryan. They've soured on former first-round pick Patrick Robinson, while Ryan may not view Jabari Greer as a scheme fit." Boom rec'd it

Updated Accountability Index

stujo4 — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 22:12:28 -0000

I started doing this back in 2010 because I was enraged by big talkers making claims and predictions and they never had to answer for them. Like "Oh he'll be a starter by October" or "He'll score 10 TD's this year, guaranteed".

No one ever kept track, and when he only scored 3 TD's after playing in all 16 games, no one ever came back and pointed that out to the big talker. So I appointed myself to do it.

And I also made my own rules: I only keep track of what interests or annoys me. If it's important to you, YOU keep track of it, I'm not your secretary. Although I will consider suggestions. And if you can bait someone into saying something stupid and reckless, even better. Bonus points if you can get ME to do it.

Also, the first one of these was titled "Grudge List" but Hans thought that was too negative and confrontational. He suggested "Accountability Index" and I thank him for that, he's absolutely right. Although we still refer to it informally as the list. Or The List, if I'm feeling particularly self-important. Don't worry, I usually include a poll at the end which gives you the opportunity to insult me. It's great fun!!

Since I was...uh... redshirted in 2012, we have some 2011 business to wrap up before we move on to the new stuff. Boom let's go...

Date	Name	Assertion	Remarks	Resolution
Dec 7 2011	Dan Kelly	PRob WILL NOT CUT IT as our permanent #2 CB.	Tracy Who? Looks like it's the Johnny Patrick Show covering the slot, no threat to Patrick Robinson at corner. As of now. (meaning late 2011)	Well that didn't turn out like I thought. PRob is a pretty good nickel back though, right? Right? And Johnny Patrick is now with the SD Chargers. And Meachem. That's a crappy team.
Dec 7 2011	Dan Kelly	If we let Porter go and PRob is our #2 CB next season, we will not win 10 games.	Dan is confusing PRob with Jason David. (2007= 7-9, 2008= 8-8)	2012 = 7-9 with the worst D in the league, worst in NFL history by some measures. Dan blames 89% of that on PRob.
Nov 3 2011	stujo4	Peyton Manning will not play another down in the NFL.	That neck! Did you see the scar?	I didn't know if he'd even be able to turn his head. I was wrong. Happy?
Nov 3 2011	Satch	Peyton will play again.	In 2012 and probably in 2013 and beyond.	Satch was also right about Malcolm Jenkins starting but he doesn't brag about that anymore.
Nov 10 2011	TAYDIGGA	Manning will be on a new team next year and will pull a Joe Montana (take his new squad to the playoffs).	Okay on part 1, but part 2 is going to take until Jan 2013.	Tay is right about a lot of things including both parts here. This was from 2011, people.
Dec 16 2011	tommy	If Brees goes the rest of the year with no injury, he will become the highest paid QB in the NFL this off season.	Franchise tag won't get him there, but he hasn't signed yet, so tommy might yet possibly pull off another one. (this was no sure thing in late 2011)	Good call, tommy. Brees was the highest paid QB for a while in 2012. That's why there is no cap money to spare. HA! Just kidding. Sort of...
Dec 16 2011	BRSaintsFan	Dree Brees will NOT become the highest paid QB in the NFL	They tend to be a bit fickle in Baton Rouge.	Brees was a bargain from 2006-2011. Some of that new contract was payback money.
Mar 17 2013	Jray2000	Premature to cut Greer	It wouldn't make any financial sense to release Greer, his $3.6 million salary is guaranteed this year, and he already received a $400,000 roster bonus. But what's $4M if you get to dump an old problem?
Mar 15 2013	aburton531	Kruger will be paid more than Dumervil	Kruger= 5 yrs $40.5M Dumervil= 5 yrs $35M	Good one, aburton. You're not one of these guys who is always right, are you?
Mar 21 2013	jeff.l.b	DT Brandon Williams will go by the 12th pick in the SECOND round.	That would be 44th overall. Scout.com has him ranked 91st. Just sayin'.
Mar 21 2013	Jason Bernos	DT Brandon Williams might sneak into the back end of the second	That would be before the 64th overall. More to the point, who is Jason Bernos? He joined in Feb, welcome!
Apr 2 2013	russty	Mickey will draft Alec Ogletree	I don't mean to judge, but russty seems to drink a lot while commenting.
Apr 2 2013	russty aburton531	The Patriots select John Jenkins with their first round pick	russty doesn't like to drink alone.
Apr 5 2013	Philinwood	Thinks we overpaid for Keenan Lewis	5 yr, $26 M with $11 M guaranteed. DanK thinks that's a bargain to get PRob out of the starting lineup.
Apr 5 2013	Stujo4 Ship	2013 Saints D will/will not improve by 10% of yards allowed	May have to amend this if PayLoo take a WR in the first round.
Apr 8 2013	jeff organictallman	Kenny Vaccaro will be drafted in the 1st round, not 2nd or 3rd per NFL.com	I don't know why I don't like this kid. Hook ‘em. Oh yeah...
Apr 8 2013	organictallman	2 safeties go in the first round	This stems from my assertion to oTman that nobody drafts a safety in the top 10. He's trying to rub it in.
Apr 8 2013	aburton531	Vaccaro won't last past the 21st pick	This is me being contrary. I'm probably going to be wrong. But if I'm right, aburton will bow down to me. For sure.
Apr 12 2013	Dave	Devery Henderson will be on the roster in September	Joseph Morgan is younger and cheaper and faster. Does Devery's experience make the difference? Maybe camp will tell.
Apr 12 2013	cajuncommando58	DT John Jenkins goes in the first round	Scout.com ranked him at 43. Did I say "SEC!! SEC!!"? Yes I did.

No one ever kept track, and when he only scored 3 TD's after playing in all 16 games, no one ever came back and pointed that out to the big talker. So I appointed myself to do it.

"(Alex Smith's) inadequacy in this game is going to result in a victory for New Orleans."

Tracy Porter vs. Patrick Robinson

I'm tired of watching Tracy Porter overpursue and miss tackles, consistently. PRob just seems like a better corner to me. @Take the poll because I really, really care what you think about this.@ Here's one response:

stujo4 | Veteran | 17 minutes ago

You make the CB call

Jeff,
You can only have one on your team, as of today: Patrick Robinson or Tracy Porter?
Who is playing better (or less worse) right now?

Easy Jeff Duncan, The Times-Picayune | The Times-Picayune

I'd go with Robinson in a heart beat. Saints officials would probably say otherwise. Of course, none of us get to evaluate the coaches' tape the way the defensive coaches do so Porter might be grading out higher on a consistent basis but from what I've seen Robinson makes more plays and is a much more consistent tackler. It'll be interesting to see what the Saints do in the offseason when it comes time to pay Porter. I have no doubt they'll make him an offer but not sure it'll be enough to keep him given their potential cap issues and starting CBs' earning power on the open market.

Accountability Index Update

stujo4 — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 22:34:06 -0000

Time for a refresh.

Date	Name	Assertion	Remarks	Resolution
Dec 4 2011	daisy117	(Calvin Johnson) still scares me. (Lions @ Saints)	6 receptions for 69 yards, longest was 22, no TD's. Be not afraid, my daisy.
Nov 16 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Matt Leinart will do better than .500 with the Texans the rest of the season, 4-2 at worst.	Oh I'm afraid not.	But he started off good. 10 of 13 for 57 yards and a touchdown. And a broken collarbone.
Sep 19 2011	Frenchie	Malcolm Jenkins. 2011 Pro-Bowler.	Everybody loves Malcolm. Except grumpy, never satisfied... well, let's just say it: coldpizza.
Nov 9 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Packers lose at least 2 games this year.	Your window of opportunity is closing fast.
Nov 3 2011	stujo4	Peyton Manning will not play another down in the NFL.	Uh huh, that's right.
Nov 3 2011	Satch	Peyton will play again.	I presume you meant NFL football.
Nov 10 2011	TAYDIGGA	Manning will be on a new team next year and will pull a Joe Montana (take his new squad to the playoffs).	Rotoworld.com: Archie Manning believes Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck do not want to be teammates on the Colts next season. Luck has participated in the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana. His father, Oliver, was a teammate of Archie's, so the families may have already touched base on the possibility.
Oct 4 2011	GSO Saints Fan	He will then go the way of JaMarcus Russell...sCam (Cam Newton) is a flash in the pan.	4-8, currently 8th in passing yards. Ahead of Andy Dalton, Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan.
Nov 9 2011	Satch	The Bucs won't make the playoffs this year and may even finish behind the Panthers in the division.	They're both 4-8. Getting ugly.
Aug 3 2011	Northfan	Saints go 5-1 in division, lose @Tampa 15-1 blah blah	Currently 3-1, lost @ Tampa. When you're hot, you're hot.
Aug 3 2011	hansdat	Bucs will go at least 11-5 and push us for the division title	Hans, you are mathematically eliminated.	And your Rams game prediction is all but forgotten.
May 1 2011	GSO Saints Fan	The Falcons will begin a steep decline based on this draft.	Currently 7-5. What, they should have drafted Locker??
Aug 3 2011	hansdat	Atlanta will hit 9-7 (Julio will fail miserably, and Ryan will do worse than 2010 in passer rating)	Possible although Julio will need to take a dive and I you know I hate passer ratings.
Sep 4 2011	FriarBob	I don't think the Foulclowns will even make the playoffs this year.	Mr. Dave2 hopes you are wrong.
Aug 19 2011	Dan Kelly	Matt Ryan will NOT lead the league in TD passes, not even top 3, but maybe top 5	Currently in a 4 way tie for 8th.
Aug 4 2011	coldpizza	Tarvaris Jackson goes .500 in 2011 if he starts an even number of games greater than zero	Currently 5-5
Aug 4 2011	Breesus Christ Superstar	Seahawks go under .500 in 2011	Currently 5-7 but Marshawn Lynch is 12th in yards rushing.
Jul 13 2011	Preston J. Gary, Jr.	Jimmy Graham: 10 TD's in 2011	8 through 12 games
Apr 29 2011 Jun 8 2011	xen-cuts were gonna need a bigger boat Andrew Juge	Ingram pick cost too much with too much risk. Overrated, potential bust.	Our foundation back? Let's go to the authorities, rotoworld.com: Ingram won't win anybody's Rookie of the Year award, but on pace for 664 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in an extremely crowded backfield, he's been plenty productive.
May 1 2011	xen-cuts	Ingram scores only 2 to 4 TD's IF he makes the team.	Yeah, he's on the team.	And 5 rushing TD's in 12 games. I think we're done here.
May 1 2011	Hi_Fidelity	Ingram has injury concerns, may not have been the best running back prospect in the draft, and doesn't represent a great upgrade over Thomas/Ivory. and when you consider the price, it was a bad pick unless Ingram puts his butt in the Pro Bowl multiple times or keys another Super Bowl run.	What about the crowded backfield part? He's not playing the part of the traditional bell cow/foundation running back who gets all or most of the carries, through no fault of his own. Does that count for anything?
Jul 6 2011	coldpizza stujo4	Ingram starts more games than Jordan in 2011	Jordan 12, Ingram 4.	I guess we thought someone else would start at DE, but CamJo has done pretty well this year.
Jul 12 2011	skinnykinney	Ingram DOES NOT start more games than Jordan in 2011	Yeah I heard ya.	And how many sacks does he have? I guess that's another conversation. You were right, sk.
Apr 28 2011	HansDat	Morstead and 2011 Saints will set NFL record for fewest punts and team record for 6 games without a punt	I don't know if they've had any games without a punt, but Morstead does lead the league for fewest punts among regular punters. 37
Apr 24 2011	MtnExile	Thinks our run game will be Top 5.	Currently #8 and climbing.
Aug 15 2011	FuSoYa	Saints' offense will rank in the 12th to 18th range this season	Currently #1: 1st in passing, 8th in rushing.
May 2 2011	coldpizza	Three NFC South teams with double digit win totals in 2011.	Oh that's a shame.	With 4 games remaining, Panters and Bucs can only go 8-8 each.
Nov 15 2011	tommy	Detroit wins at least one game with Green Bay	They have a chance, Jan 1 @ Lambeau. Ok, they don't have a chance.
Aug 19 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Mike Vick will have a mediocre season and not make it back to the top 5 for MVP voting.	I'm calling run rule on this one.	Vick made the bleacher/report list at #12 for most overpaid athletes of 2011.
Oct 4 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Eagles won't make the playoffs.	They are keeping hope alive.
Aug 21 2011	stujo4	Lance and Meachem each have better seasons than Colston (better in 2 out of 3 categories: Receptions, yards, TD's)	Lance: 41-463-6 Meach: 32-478-5 Colston: 51-721-3
Aug 21 2011	EasyBreesy	Moore's season more likely to be better than Colston's than Meachem's as compared to Colston's.	It's trending that way.
Apr 28 2011	stujo4	Whoever drafts Da'Quan Bowers will see him balloon up during the inevitable rehab	He's still not hurt.
May 1 2011	were gonna need a bigger boat	Martez Wilson, not Mark Ingram, makes the biggest impact of all rookies this season.	Started 1 game, appeared in 9: 2 tackles, 1 assist. And you tell me that Shanle sucks.
May 2 2011	Northfan	Wilson probably has the best chance of our drafted rookies to win Rookie of the Year	If the Saints had drafted Mookie Wilson. He made the Mets Hall of Fame. That's as close as I can get it.
May 4 2011	jray2000	Martez Wilson will be the best overall performer of our draft class	I'd rank him better than Johnny WTF Patrick, how's that?
May 2 2011	tommy	Junior Galette will be a starter this year	0-12 Is this who I thought was going to put Cam Jordan on the bench?
May 4 2011	skinnykinney TAYDIGGA	Ingram won't have more than 3 games with 13+ carries	13, 14, 17, 14, 13, 16	Maybe not INGRAMANIA!!! per se, but IngramEnthusiasm, certainly.
May 4 2011	coldpizza	Ingram will have 8 games with 13+ carries & 50%+ more rushing yards than teammates	Nah, it's pretty even, yards in the 400's and no sign of change.	Running back by committee: Saving you for the future, son.
Jun 2 2011	jeff	Doesn't believe A Arrington will be a regular rotation receiver in 2011	I can't believe it's not believable.	3 games, no starts, 1 catch for 14 yards. He's been around since 2008.
Nov 2 2010	Stujo4	The over thrown would be TD pass to Strief in week 8 of 2010 indicates Brees' QB career peaked in 2009	"Peaked"???? You mean started declining???? No. But neither seems to be happening.
Aug 28 2011	Mr. Dave	Drew Brees' best years are behind him	I can't believe a season ticket holder said that.
Jul 14 2011	Satch	Drew Brees will prove he is not in decline by throwing less than 10 interceptions and winning the league MVP award	11 picks to date. Maybe Rodgers will get hurt. Oh GAAA!!!! Not supposed to wish that.
Oct 15 2011	were gonna need a bigger boat	Drew Brees wins the MVP award.	I sense you are wishing it.
Aug 24 2011	Acquired Panic	Drew Brees is not declining or losing his focus.	Only his hairline. Did I say that last time?	All right, this is enough. You are correct AP, by anyone's measure except Frenchie's.
Aug 15 2011	SaintsFanInIraq	Drew Brees will throw 38 TD's and no more than 14 INT's this year	30-11 to date
Nov 27 2011	cajuncommando58	Drew will throw no more than 2 more INTs for the rest of the regular season.	Zero since 11/13/11
Oct 1 2011	were gonna need a bigger boat	Drew Brees: 4500+ yds. and 30+ TD's this season, and that the Saints win at least 12 games	Very doable at this point. That word looks like "double" spelled wrong.
Jul 14 2011	Satch	Pierre Thomas will lead the team for the season in rushing yards and rushing TDs	Ingram is in the lead on both items.
May 14 2010	VAsaintsfan	Condemned Ricky Williams draft day trade, applauded Tebow draft day trade	Was it ever Ricky Time? I think so, kinda. Tebow is cutting a wide swath in the NFL though. Bless his heart.
Nov 9 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Chiefs will lose to Tebow and the Broncos in KC and lose the AFC West race.	God, the Chiefs suck.	You are correct, BG4.
Jul 2 2011	Preston J. Gary, Jr.	Shaun Rogers will make a big impact on defense for the Saints in 2011.	Near late hits on QB's and then picking them up by their jersey tags. Not what I had in mind.
Jul 11 2011	coldpizza	Shaun Rogers in 2011: 2-3 sacks tops	0 in 12 games.
Jul 12 2011	coldpizza	At least two teams with a new starting QB will make the playoffs this year. At least one of those new QBs will be a rookie	Stop trying to make me think.

My first game in the endzone at the Peugeot Superdome. Kind of liked it at first but not so much later on. I can't see anything unless they're on my 30 yard line or closer. Anyway, a win is a win but I didn't think either quarterback played particularly well in spite of the stats. Brees started out throwing high and ended throwing low. If I didn't know better, I might think he was in decline. But of course I know better. Sat next to some Giants fans who were still hung over from a weekend on Bourbon Street, very well behaved except when they were chanting DEFENSE!!! for their team in the first quarter. It got quiet after that. On to the pics:
