I'm just old and tired of the same old BS lip service every year about how good this guy is going to be and how hard it's going to be to stop that guy. When these turds* get out on the field and perform at a pro bowl level and actually win a game that matters, i'll be happy. 

Libraries full of BS lip service has jaded me towards all the empty pre-season talk. 

(*turds is obviously an over-the-top term that doesn't accurately reflect their talents. But it's the term i wanted to use. )

Eifert hasn't had much of a chance to put it all on the field yet, and I see Kroft as a better compliment to him than Gresham was because Kroft seems more physical and just more reliable.  

Kroft will find the free areas in the seams, get open, and make the sure catch.  He'll just make the defense account for so much more of the field, as will a healthy Eifert.

Completely his fault 

We still put up a 10-5-1 record, so think about how good we'll be with Eifert and Kroft running up the seams all year and just giving defenses nightmares trying to decide how to cover them.  

You want to keep your safeties in the middle of the field?  OK, we'll go up top to AJ
