I think we have to look at the offensive line situation with a wait and see. Again, I am not worried about Mike Adams. If he doesn't contribute this year much it is still not an alarming thing. Next year I think we need to see him step up. Right now he is a kid with not enough experience. He is as talented an offensive line prospect as has ever come through the program.One advatange of Shugarts being in there is having another kid that likes to play football on the offensive line. He is a kid of the same mindset as Brewster and Boren. Hit it hard and keep hitting it hard until they force you to stop hitting it hard, then savor the moment. I don't know if we were ever going to get that temperment out of Adams. I love the big uglies who like to play football. The best I have seen have a big dose of nasty but the nice guys have more than a few icons to point to like Anthony Munoz and another sure Hall of Famer in a guy you might remember named Orlando Pace.
I am very bothered about this thing with USC players and all the injuries. If we win, Mark May will say USC was beat up. If we don't win Mark May will say the USC B team beat us.
Navy is the worst possible warm-up for USC. It would have been nice to see a team come in here with a balanced attack. We could have gotten better prep for a team like USC. Playing against an option team is different. They rushed for 3800 yards last year and passed for 792.
I was shocked to hear a friend tell me that he heard on NFL Network that the Bengals were excited about their offensive line, even without Andre Smith. I watched the Patriots game last night. The Bengal offensive line got dominated. I don't know if that tells us that New England is that good or the Bengals are that bad. It is likely a good dose of both.
Michael Vick should not be welcome in the NFL. His so called "contrite" apology means nothing. This is not a crime you can apologize for. He did not realize that dog fighting is an evil and cruel thing before he got involved? Then how about after the first time you attended a dog fight, Mike? Once you saw dogs mauling each other to death, you still didn't realize this is something that needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law? Personally, I would like to see Mike in a box. It can be cardboard out in some alley or a wooden one. No sympathy and no compassion for you, or anybody that commits this heinous crime.
