KingGibbs Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Just curious if anyone else realized how often his name was called Sat night. My buddy and I were like, "damn, Warner again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Warner and White have struck me by how active they've been and how fast they seem out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Originally posted by Art Warner and White have struck me by how active they've been and how fast they seem out there. No doubt Art. White has impressed me also. I think or should I say I hope our line will hold it's own this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 i think he played well also. i think we should use him in situational purposes. maybe he can't be an everydown guy but alot of dominant DEs are undersized. i think upshaw played well. heck the 1st and 2nd team defense played very well saturday.

GB81 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 After re-watching most of the Hall of Fame game on Tivo, and watching Saturday night's game, Ron Warner and Cornelius Griffin are the two bright spots on the d-line. Warner did have a good deal of success against second and third teamers, but he is very active and looked good shedding blocks on running plays and getting a push on passing downs. Since Williams has been pretty open about the fact that we will rotate fresh bodies in on the line this year (to, among other things, offset our lack of talent) Warner could be valuable. If you have it taped or tivoed, watch Griffin in the first half in Canton. It's very impressive. Reagan Upshaw also made a couple of plays Saturday night, but all in all, the d-line still frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Upshaw looks like a new man out there. I would like to see Warner against starting OL's before I call him the solution. Did Noble play at all?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his "club" being talking about a lot as he played... :laugh: Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Griffin also made a few nice stops in the Carolina game. He's going to be a big difference maker against the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliondollarslim Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 did you realize that Warner is 29 years old and has bounced around the league for about 6 years. I was surprised at his age. he would be a REALLY late bloomer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Warner may have earned a spot in the final 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinker Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I thought Warner had a surprisingly fast burst up the field - though he is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
