Didn't realize that San Diego made such smart additions to their offense this offseason. I suppose it would be hard to see any other team with Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow raping our eyes and ears all off season.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie just attempted to physically end the life of Byron Leftwich in the 1st quarter of the 1st preseason game

Backup QBs for the Pats looking decent so far although Mallett does need more development. Defense has looked great especially the new guys although some concerns about the secondary might still be the weak link and exploitable like last year.

No sarcasm about Peyton Manning yet. I actually want him back healthy and meeting Tom Brady in the AFC Championship. I've gotten texts touting RG III has he looked good? What about the Bengals? Can you be my eyes and ears for a bit?

missed the Redskins early start and they haven't been shown on this NFL Network switching between games gimmick, they've mentioned him looking good and RGIII-to-Garcon looking good tho, Bengals play tomorrow (they keep reminding us since it's a Tebow game)

So once I got home and watched the highlights, his fundamentals look pretty good. Michael Vick is the most fragile football player ever. Big Ben Rapelisberger is a tough sumbitch. RGIII looked okay, but damn good for his first NFL Start.

Fuck it, gonna quickly guess the Giants' Opening Day 53 before tonight's game. Most of them are locks, but whatever:
QB (2): Manning, Carr RB (4): Bradshaw, Ware, Wilson, Scott FB (1): Hynoski WR (6): Nicks, Cruz, Hixon, Randle, Jernigan, David Douglas (fuck off Barden) TE (3): Bennett, Pascoe, Adrien Robinson OL (9): Beatty, Boothe, Baas, Snee, Diehl, Locklear, Petrus, Brewer, Mosley DE (4): Tuck, Pierre-Paul, Umenyiora, Trattou DT (4): Canty, Joseph, Bernard, Markus Kuhn (surprisingly beats out Shaun Rogers) LB (8): Boley, Kiwanuka, Blackburn, Rivers, Jones, Williams, Herzlich, Paysinger CB (5): Webster, Thomas, Amukamara, Hosley, Tryon S (4): Rolle, Phillips, Will Hill, Janzen Jackson K (1): Tynes P (1): Weatherford LS (1): DeOssie Suspended (1): Sash PUP (2): Beckum, Sintim 8 LBs may be a bit much, but fuck it's a hard choice since so many of them contribute on special teams. Paysinger is the one most likely to be cut in favor of another DB if necessary - although maybe he gets spared the first 4 games until Sash returns from suspension to make up the numbers. #ALLIN |

with the rash of DB injuries, there's no way the G Men carry that many LB's. I would expect 6 Linebackers and two extra defensive backs.
But this is a great little pickem |

The Thomas injury made me consider an extra DB since he could be ready anywhere from Opening Day to October. If the new IR rule got approved (where once a year you can IR somebody and pull them off of it) Thomas could be used for that while saving a roster spot for an extra DB.
Also thought about only going with 3 DE's under the idea that Kiwi would pretty much be the 4th DE. |

Hey Vito, who would make a better impact on my fantasy team as my #2 WR? I've got Andre Johnson #1, but have the 3rd pick and am debating between Julio Jones and Victor Cruz. No bias please bro.

As much as I love Cruz, Jones is probably the safer bet. There's just no guarantee Cruz will be able to bust out a million 70 yard TDs again.

LOL @ the ending of the Giants game. They can't possibly let these replacement refs into a regular season game.

If you think I'm pessimistic, you should read the Giants message board. So many people panicking about how Blaine Gabbert shredded the Giants' first string defense in the first drive of the year. It's laughable, really.
The only preseason game I remotely care about results-wise is Week 3, when you'd hope that your first string guys look ready to go. And even then all that really matters in pre-season is getting out of there healthy. |

THey look pretty good. Nowhere as busy as I thought it would look. The road uniforms will be the true litmus test. I wanna see them in action.
While we're on uniforms, let me go on record to say that I hate the way those flywire two tone collars look on road whites. |
