Artie Gigantino told his audience on SportsTalk 1140 AM (Sacramento, CA) that Mariucci will be back because Denise DeBartolo York absolutely loves him. He also said he wished that Mariucci would sack up and demand a $4MM/year extension because he has earned it. In other words, Mooch needs to play hardball and regain respect in the organization. He needs to re-establish himself.

Larry Kruger told his audience on KNBR 680 AM (San Francisco, CA) that Mike Rumph is a first round mistake by Terry Donahue. He argued that there was a reason 25 teams passed on him: he doesn't have the quickness for the NFL and won't ever develop it. He said he has looked at film (remember, Kruger was an Arizona Cardinals scout) and Rumph is beaten on every snap...not sometimes, or often, but every snap...because he has slow reflexes and doesn't move quickly. He said Rumph doesn't hit receivers at the line because he couldn't recover if they got past him. He said it isn't about Mora's scheme, or teaching Rumph technique. He simply doesn't have the speed and never will. He added that only three or four teams were even considering drafting him.

Kudos to JJ Boss for criticizing Rumph from the get go. You obviouslyknew what you were talking about.

I can see a scenario where after four consecutive Walsh/Donahue drafts, ONLY FOUR of their thirteen first day picks are starters in 2003: Plummer, Peterson, Carter and Winborn. Maybe as many as six, if Webster isn't improved upon and Barlow can catch up with his fellow classmates who are already making an impact in the league. That is not overly impressive when you stop to think that this team is rebuilding from scratch. Amazingly, Walsh/Donahue have identified almost as many (three) starters from the second day: Johnson, Streets and Heitmann. My confidence in Donahue isn't etched in stone.

I enjoy TANK's "lectures". His posts are thought provoking and informed, ranging from good to even brilliant. I have my own opinions, but I admit that I have learned a thing or two from him. He asks the tough questions and makes me think more than his critics ever have. Keep on doing what you do, TANK.
