The days of the GSOT are gone. Now, in its place, we have a defense that sometimes shows up for games, and when they do, they act like 2 year olds, because they always seem to take the ball away from their playmates.
On the other side of the ball, we have a Pro Bowl QB who doesn't like to share the ball with anyone who isn't wearing Blue and Gold, a whole bunch of WR's that can grab a ball that no one else could touch. Bruce can still 'git-r-done', and Torry Holt is on his way to his SEVENTH consecutive 1300+ yard season. Bruce AND Holt are both Pro Bowl WR's. We also have a TE that we don't use much, but he makes key plays. Then we have our RB's...TWO Pro Bowl RB's...one who is on his way down, but still contributes a lot, and one who not only leads our team in the number of receptions (82 for 680 yds.), but also has 1236 yds on the ground...1916 total. Our O-line is banged up, but we still have the Freak, Alex Barron, at RT, and next to him we have a mean RG named Incognito. Barron is the only one who has played all season, the other four are, well, back-ups, but they seem to be able to hold their own.
Our special teams aren't 'short bus' special anymore. Of course, we have "Money", a.k.a. Jeff Wilkins. We have Willie Ponder returning for us, and we found some guy named Matt Turk, who just lauched a 74 yard punt last week, and has unbelievable hang times with a 43.5 yard average.
I'm sure you've heard of Leonard Little. Too bad you won't see Pisa Tinoisamoa this week. That guy is a freak, too...dislocated elbow, TWICE, a broken hand....and he STILL PLAYED!
BTW, Marc Bulger is only 335 yards away from the 4000 mark. You guys might see him break that mark, but I'll bet he won't pass 4000 until next week.
Well, now you know why I say the GSOT is dead. You'll see a different team than you used to this weekend.
