HI Guys….It’s been a while
I decided to take a year off from my blogs and take a good look at our team. To take a unbiased look at where we are at in Raheem’s dream. I’m not one of these fans that refuse to see the bad. But I was one that could not see the good along with the bad.
Yes biased I was but there is a lot of good there and there is bad as well still. So Lets start with the Good
25 TD’s his longest was 64 yards. I do not have room for all the good so I am going to bring up the few that are outstanding.
1st Josh Freeman as you know he was not my choice at QB but I have to say he really impressed me this year. Out of 16 games this year. He started 16 he threw 474 passes completed 291 that gives him a 64% passing rating He threw for 3451 yd.’s. had a average of 7.3 yd.’s. per pass. His longest was 64 yards.
He had 6 INT’S and he also had only 4 fumbles (overall) a 95.9 % QB rating in all. To me the real Hero here was a Budding young Superstar WR Mike Williams This Kid is awesome. In his first year he had 65 receptions for 965 yd.’s his average was 14.8 yd.’s his longest was 58.
Mike scored 11 TD’s in all in his rookies season which out done Calvin Johnson of Detroit in his first year. Impressive
LeGarrette Blount 1007 yd.’s – out of 201 attempts that’s a 5.0 average a long of 53 with 6 TD’s. Kareem Huggins had a good showing but the injury kept us from seeing just how well he could do. If you look at the Backfield and I’m sorry Caddy I love you But we do have another back that has a 5.0 Avg per carry as well. He carried the ball 16 times for 130 yd.’s He had a 46 yard run with only 1 TD this year Yes I’m talking about Earnest Graham. Those two backs would smack ware out any defense around. I am not saying to dump Caddy or Huggins but lets start the top 2.
Benn,Stroughter,Spurlock, and the rest of the receiver corps is fine. With the exception of Stovall I think we could do better there. THE OFFENSIVE LINE will be fine with the new line coach in place unless contract problems develop our offense overall for once is looking good.
This is my first Blog in a year now and I finally got the parrot to stop swearing so bad the dogs are good now no more shaking and the cat finally came home. After that first draft the wife made me go get a motel room to watch the last one. Well I’m going to go with the Defense next. but that will be the next Installment lol so I’m signing off for now

Glad your back! I’m excited about this team, our O-line looks solid and deep, RB Blount is awesome, can’t wait for him to have more Exp in our offense. WR depth is just that Deep and with good players. For me Stoval is a good WR to have on our team, when he gets a chance he does perform. But now he is behind 3-4 other WR and he can be brought back for fairly cheap. Sign Spurlock. QB is growing into a deep talented group. What’s not to like about Freeman! I like how Johnson was used this year, get him more meaningful game action, let him play multiple positions. But throw him the ball when he is open.
Again glad your back.
