Imagine what Zach could w/ that kind of "protection" Further, picture the Dolphins using a 46/Bear front i.e Big daddy, K Carter & Traylor over the center & 2 guards. As for that other notable Detrot castoff, Harrington did not do as well statistically. There were no fumbles. JH, as I understand, is becoming less skittish in the pocket and not as hard on himself when he does mess up. FWIW, Daunte got wacked three times real hard and got up each time w/o any reason for concern. He does limp when he walks but playing he's fine.
Gotta agree with you there. I thought no one gave Favre more trouble then the Wilkenson Shaun Rodgers duo. As bad as the Lions were I always worried about those 2 guys winnning the game for them
I got a chance to watch the game, and Wilkinson did provide a serious push up the middle....I thought Harrington looked great....the knock I always heard about him was that he dumps everything off to backs but I watch a guy that was throwing the ball down the field with a lot of zip and accuracy....I can see why someone would draft him as high as they did....I looked good in the pocket and demonstrated a very strong arm....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pack Attack)</div><div class='quotemain'>Wilkinson's release still confuses me. Then again, so does most of what Matt Millen does.</div> I wish GB went after him for a 1 year stint. Wilerson and Pickett in the middle would make me feel better about the run D.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pack Attack)</div><div class='quotemain'>Wilkinson's release still confuses me. Then again, so does most of what Matt Millen does.</div> As I recall (& perhaps Zack can confirm this), Wilkinson's release was more of Marinelli's decision.

You would think that someone who relied in dumping the ball off to RB's would excel in a WCO. Though, I've said the reason for Harrington's problem in Detroit both w/ Martz and prior was that JH is not suited for a timing offense. Maybe alot of the knock on the former Univ of Oregon QB's is because the Ducks play a more vertical attacking offensive style and they end up w/ a WCO team. AJ Feeley is the exception. He is now 3rd on the Chargers depth chart.
