Yes, the light could come on for Taylor. Love the team they have built.
Loved the way they attacked the trenches on both sides of the ball, they understood where the problems lie.

Trey Hill? He is a big boy no doubt, one hell of an anchor. Still, helps with NT's having that much meat on your Center.

I didn't like the fact we were stuck in mediocrity with Marvin, and they changed that (finally). It doesn't bother me that it's a family run business. It doesn't bother me that they practice outside. I don't like our win/loss record with Taylor, but I see what he's doing, who he's bringing in, and like what he's building. I like our last couple of drafts. I see that Lou is trying to build HIS defense and has changed personnel to suit what he wants to do. I acknowledge the fact (as do the analysts on NFL radio) that no DC could have been successful with the MASH unit they had last year. So I remain positive on most everything with the team as it stands today. I've also said this is Taylor's sink or swim year. So instead of criticizing every single move they make, to include draft picks who haven't taken a single snap yet, I choose to remain positive. I mean, really, if all someone is going to do is complain about every single move this team makes, why would they not switch to a team they think is run the way they want it to be? Life is too short to wallow in pessimistic misery.
Agree, life is too short to wallow in pessimistic misery. Great post.
The thing is, I wanted Carman in the 2nd or 3rd before the Draft. There were only a couple of OL I liked better in these
rounds in Eichenberg and Creed Humphrey. Funny how we got him and a lot of smart posters acted like he was a reach
which he was not. Carman could be the best OL in this entire Draft and I am not even close to kidding.
Carman is that great of a mauling, run blocking Lineman with the switch to Guard taking away the speed rush weakness.
