GregCook Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Eric Henderson wasn't drafted, I think you're thinking of AJ Nicholson.I'll guess that Odell, Pollack, Deltha, Justin and a few more won't be back in 2007. Regrettably losing a 2005 1st rounder and a 2005 second rounder will be devastating and only hope is FA to repair that damage.The first game of the year was the playoff loss to the Steelers and the final game of 2006 was today's OT loss to the Steelers.

jjakq27 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yeah you are correct. I got my troubled-past guys mixed up.I think they might surprise us. I think Deltha stays because James will be gone after this year. And I am not sure about Justin.Losing Pollack and Odell will certainly hurt and who knows about Chris Perry. But Joseph has played well and Peko and Jeanty were nice additions this year. Let's hope they draft wisely in the first and second and get someone worthwhile. No third rounder this year due to selecting Brooks in the supplemental draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No third rounder this year due to selecting Brooks in the supplemental draft.Yeah, there's no way we can lose Deltha and Tory both in one year, and I'm here to tell ya, I think Tory's 40 time is probably pushing 5.0.I don't know why we'd lose Justin unless some team waaaaay overpays. Could happen, hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan2330 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Here's a big one:With a chance to go to the playoffs lose to Steelers in overtime as Broncos lose later in the day which would have given the Wild Card to Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
