Apparently Demarcus Ware would play hide and seek to help Greg Ellis get more playing time. Yes, let me repeat that, Ware played hide and seek during the games.

With Derick Mason retiring, it leaves the Ravens with Mark Clayton, Demetrius Williams and Kelley Washington at WR. Mason just fucked the Ravens over huge by pulling this 2 weeks before training camp (and I understand the whole "McNair's death had an influence on him and his decision" but it doesn't change things)

The 3 most likely outcomes in order of probability are -
1) They sign Marvin Harrison. He's probably somewhere equal to Mason at this point and he would probably like to play for a team with a shot at the playoffs. But it would only be a bandaid on the problem and there aren't looking to be any great WRs coming in the 2010 draft.
2) The Ravens bite the bullet and do nothing. I could almost see this being the most likely outcome, but there is a lot of pressure on the team to make it to the Super Bowl this year and to see Joe Flacco improve to the next level which wont happen with those 3 options as WR.
3) A Trade for Marshall or Boldin. Any chance of one of these trades going down just got crushed because the Broncos and Cards now know the Ravens are desperate and it would probably end up costing the Ravens more to get either of them and thats something that GM Ozzie Newsome doesn't do.

They can always roll the dice on Plax!

Droford
07-14-2009, 02:54 PM
As far as I am concerned, Plexiglass isn't an option. If they want a player that has tons of off the field problems they should go after Marshall who has tons of upside at only 25.

Edit: and Im not totally convinced that the allegations against Marshall are 100% legit.

Did Plax really have any huge issues before the gun situation? I think I remember him getting in trouble here or there but nothing too serious. If he didn't set the gun off by mistake nothing would have ever even happened.

A couple domestic disturbance calls to his house that resulted in temporary restraining orders, and some kind of civil lawsuit over a rental car.

It'd probably be better to say "If he didn't have an unregistered gun nothing would have ever happened"...it's not shooting himself that got himself in trouble, it was the possession of the illegal firearm.

Supreme Olajuwon
07-14-2009, 03:45 PM
It was the shooting thing that made it a story though. We wouldn't be talking about it today and Plaxico wouldn't be unemployed if it was just possession of a firearm.

Wow as in you're surprised that the punishment wasn't harsher, or you think it should be?

I for one think that it can only be good for both Vick and the NFL if he is allowed to play. The guy served his time and is going to have to do charity work involving groups that are against dog fighting as he moves forward.

Well, you take that "wow" a couple different ways.

For a hardcore NFL fan's standpoint. You can say that 2 years was enough time for his crime, and the Goodell made a fair enough decision to bring him back on a probationary basis.

Or, from someone who backs PETA and only heard about this guy when the details came out, you could be saying that he should have had a longer sentence and that he should never be allowed to play again.

I'll let you judge.

07-31-2009, 01:15 AM
Tell you who else i like this year. Phillip Wheeler and Donald Brown. We might have the best running game in the league this year. My theory is that Brown is going to push Addai hardcore for the starting job. ANd Joe dont want to lose that job. I think both will get significant carries. I also think Mike Hart will be worked in.

Honestly, aside from the coaching changed ( i love Coyer ), this might be one of the most talented Colts teams ever. The only place thats lacking depth is ironically WR.

RP
07-31-2009, 01:24 AM
Stima, you should make the trip to Indy for the Pats v Colts. It's going to be amazing. I'm gunna get tickets this year. I'd love to see the look on your face when the Colts stomp the Pats, in person.

Jesus Shuttlesworth
07-31-2009, 01:24 AM
I dunno if Tate is gonna be able to get on the field much though with Moss, Welker, Galloway and Lewis. Galloway is like 45 years old though so maybe, but all reports I'm hearing is that he's still "got it."

I think Lenon could be the sleeper since everyone is totally forgetting about him. He's not an all star or anything but he had like 140 tackles last season, I think it was a pretty good pick up. I really like all the off-season pick-ups they made, none of them are huge names (outside of maybe Springs, not really a huge name either though), but I think they will all help fill some voids. I still got a feeling Willie McGinest is gonna make his return too, not sure how much that will help though.

He'll be ready for a team that has some sort of playoff shot and loses there starting QB. Trust me. This will happen. I dont think he would get shoulder surgery for nothing. He just doesnt want to play a full season.

I still love the guy. Always have. I dont think this tarnishes his rep in my mind. I dont really care. He's a great guy to root for. I just naturally love Brett Farve

I don't think its that crazy to feel good about them. They had a rough year last year but they had a ton of injuries and they picked up one of the hottest coaching prospects in the NFL. Plus the NFC West is gonna be wide open, I don't think the Cardinals are going to be as good (they where only 9-7 last year anyway) but the Seahawks will be improved I think. I liked a lot of draft pick-ups and of course the addition of T.J. (can't spell his last name lol) at the wideout spot is big.

Hanso Amore
08-02-2009, 09:23 PM
I agree Stima

if bulger can return to form, they could turn it around. If any coach can make a difference it is Spags. They do lack a solid WR core, which was once their strength. But I think their Defense is going to be very solid with the new leadership.

Jesus Shuttlesworth

SammyG

I dunno. I love the addition of Spags, and I love that they are dishing out hits at training camp already, full go. The overall attitude has changed, they actually believe they can go out there and win now, from what I am reading. Everyone is upbeat and what not. No one holding out of camp either. The new offense is gonna center around Jackson which is awesome, since our receivers kinda suck.

I think Ronald Curry and Donny Avery should be DECENT, but it kinda sucks after that. Keenan Burton? Dunno. Our offensive line looks solid though. Especially with Jason Brown in the middle, and Jason Smith as our number 2 pick. Defense looks mad good too. Stoked about Laurinatis. Or however you spell it :(

Oh well. Probably getting my hopes up for a 1-15 season

<font color=goldenrod>Word from Giants camp now is that Eli Manning's agent and the team are close to negotiating his extension for around $120 million...ridiculous money, but we all knew it would be coming.

$120 million for Eli, when Peyton is making like $99 million and Tom Brady's only at like $60 million. Damn.

NEW YORK (AP) - Buffalo Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) running back Marshawn Lynch (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/469529)'s three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy will stand.


The league announced that Lynch's appeal was denied in a statement released Monday afternoon.
Lynch's suspension begins on Sept. 5 and ends on Sept. 28, a day after the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) play the New Orleans Saints (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/new-orleans-saints) in their third regular-season game.
Lynch, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons with the Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills), will be allowed to participate in all preseason practices and games before Sept. 5.
Lynch pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor gun charge in Los Angeles. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years probation.
"We are disappointed, obviously," Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) head coach Dick Jauron said after the team's afternoon practice at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y. "We'll lose a real good football player for three games. But, hopefully, Marshawn has learned a good deal from it."
The suspension resulted from the player's arrest in Culver City, Calif., on Feb. 11, when police searched a parked car Lynch was in and found a 9mm semiautomatic handgun in a backpack in the trunk. Police also found four marijuana cigarettes in the car, but no drug charges were filed.
It was Lynch's second run-in with the law following a hit-and run-accident in Buffalo in May 2008. In that incident, he pleaded guilty to a traffic violation and admitted to driving off after striking a female pedestrian with his car near Buffalo's downtown bar district.
The Bills (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/buffalo-bills) signed veteran running back Dominic Rhodes (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/106174) and re-signed Fred Jackson (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/419605) in the offseason.

I'm as die hard as at gets as far as Giants fans go and that contract is way too much. I would put Eli in the top 10 as far as quarterbacks go, but he needs pieces around him to be in the upper echelon, not vice versa.

Jesus Shuttlesworth

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah...Eli is good...but $120 million? Can he invest some of it in having Phil Simms teaching him how to throw into the wind in January?

Like I said though, the market for quarterbacks has become like the market for starting pitchers in baseball.

Cassel and Stafford are getting really huge deals given their current situations/amount of playing time/experience...so any young (but still veteran), established QB can command a 9 figure contract extension.</font>

still trying to figure out why the fuck the Denver Broncos hired Josh McDaniels

Dunno how closely you've been following the team this offseason, other than the Cutler and Marshall bits, but trust me, keep the faith.

I was all for his hiring, then his firing after Cutler. But now that he's had time to show how he can manage this team I'm once again high on this guy. He's bringing the no bullshit edge this team desperately needed. Hell, he forced Champ to sit out the first days of camp because he didn't bother to show up in shape, made the defense AND its coaches run laps for having too many men on the field, among other things. Just give him time. :)

I may want to start following the Broncos closer. Still pissed about not taking Orakpo and trading the first rounder next year for Alphonso Smith or whatever. And the blocking tight end in the second round though

DaveBrawl
08-05-2009, 09:31 AM
I believe they are actually going to be a bit better than last year, who knows they may even move the ball inside the red zone this season. I don't know how good of a coach McDaniels is (he's apparently not to good at drafting yet) but I'm willing to give him a chance. Some of his changes have been rediculously over the top for exposure, but they seem to be in the right direction.

However I seriously think the Raiders may win the division this season. Just little things I've read about their camp I believe they may be this years surprise team. I believe they may get 10 wins this season and that probably will be enough to win the AFC West.

Evil Vito
08-05-2009, 10:05 AM
<font color=goldenrod>Eli's deal is finalized. 7 years, $106 million. $35 million guaranteed. It's actually a 6 year, $97.5 extension added on top of the $9.4 million he was gonna make this year.

Not as much money as I thought, but still enough to make him the highest paid player in the NFL. Got a lot to live up to this year with both starting wideouts gone.</font>

That's true, but I'm thinking that out of sheer numbers odds are one has to be successful. I'm hoping it's McDaniels. He reminds me of the type of guy that may not fully grasp what he's doing, but kind of stumbles onto success. Kind of like Mr. Magoo.

I think its more of he probably doesn't teach all of his ways and thinking as a coach in case he was to ever face one of his assistants in a game. Besides Weis and Rommel, he looses his assistants quicker than other teams. I think Mangini and McDaniels only had about 1-2 years of being a head assistant coach under him.

Anyone who knocks on McDaniels' drafting hasn't looked at exactly who/what we got.

Smith is by all means first round talent. Problem is he's about 5'9", and you know the NFL and it's height bias. I've read things that say he should've been a top 15 pick and is probably the best cover corner in the draft. Now he just needs to prove being worth it. Having a good offseason so far.

Ayers is ridiculous. Just do yourself a favor and look up anything on this guy. Classy and talented. Choosing to wear 56 to honor Al Wilson isn't too bad either. He missed about the first week of camp holding out, and on his first day in played so well he was bumped from 2nd team to first.

Quinn is one I can't defend too well. Will be a good eventual replacement for Graham, but def would've been there with our next 3rd. No sense trading up.

McBath and Bruton, as with most of the rest of our rookies, serve one big purpose. They'll be fixing the one consistently broken thing with the Broncos forever, special teams. Several of our rookies were special teams aces, but McBath and Bruton also have the ability to push to start at S in the next couple years.

Kenny McKinnley has been awesome in practice and is being regarded as the next Royal. Just training camp, but nonetheless nice to hear about a 5th rounder.

I'd also suggest looking at our undrafted class, just as good as our drafteds. Check out DL Rulon Davis (ex-marine) who has won every after practice team sprint since being signed. DL Everette Pedescleaux and DL Chris Baker (who's now pushing to be starting NT) among others.

Too many people shitting on this team for not looking good on paper, and I was one. But just studying up on what McDaniels has done so far shows he may just know exactly what he's doing. He may need to learn draft pick value, but he'll get there.

He may need to learn draft pick value, but he'll get there.

I think that last part is my biggest problem with him. He seemed to get decent players (haven't seen too much of most of them other than draft coverage) but he seemed to take some of them way to high. Like wasting next years first rounder on a guy who probably would of been there in the next round. I mean I hope it works out for the best obviously, but I think that was a mistake.

Although he has overhauled the atrocious defense from last year and got Moreno, so that is a lot of positive. Also, I know this may sound stupid, but in a way I'm glad he got rid of Cutler. He is a very talented qb and all, but his attitude was terrible, and McDaniels managed to get a pretty good deal from it. I think a lot of people underrate Kyle Orton and he is going to surprise a lot of people this year that expect him to fall on his face and the Broncos to fall apart because Cutler is gone.

However as tough as the schedule is with Indy, the Pats, Dallas, Baltimore and Pittsburgh I don't expect better than 9-7 at the absolute best, but I don't think 8-8 or 9-7 is outrageous.

Harry Douglas out for the year.

Roddy White wants Larry Fitz money.

Its a huge blow that we lose Harry for the year. Sure its easy to say its no big deal he's only a slot receiver, but he helped make our offense that much more potent. Maybe now we can possible go out and nab Marvin Harrison for a one year deal? its possible.

As for Roddy supposedly wanting Larry Fitz money, I mean i can't blame the guy. Now I'm not saying Roddy is at Larry's level yet but the guy should get paid. Last year we shelled out a 4 year deal to Jenkins, now its time to take care of Roddy. Money should not be an issue here. Pay the man get him in camp and let him and Ryan continue to grow together!

The Raiders could not get defensive end Derrick Burgess to report to training camp, so they traded the two-time Pro Bowler to the Patriots for two draft picks Thursday.

It was an event for season ticket holders, which I've gone to before (dude I used to work with had the tickets and wasn't interested in practice) but this year the lottery got in on the deal since they are releasing a Pats scratch ticket soon. After practice was over they let the people with tickets via the lottery go out on the field. My boy's family owns a liquor store so that's how we got on the field. Pretty sick, it was also good because it was kinda limited, so there wasn't like 4,000 people running around like nuts.

As a Ravens fan, I was relieved somewhat the AT hasnt amounted to much in NE, at least not worth the money he got IMO. I know he was hurt 1/2 of last season but in 07 his numbers weren't all that great for a full season and they were off a bit from 05/06 with the Ravens.

Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-08-2009, 01:26 AM
Won a Superbowl with Colvin, he was pretty solid. I don't think anyone expected him to be a star. I don't think Thomas has lived up to the expectations of his contract but I think he has still played well. It's unreal how explosive he is though, they did pass rush drills right in front of us at practice and nobody touch him. Especially the undrafted free agent guys, I kinda felt bad for them lol

As for coaches, let's not forget it's not really the Belicheck tree of coaches, Belicheck is a branch from Parcells. Wies was under Parcells also and I think Romeo may have been also.

can't wait for the season to start... This offense is better then what they had in 07-08...

the DL will be one of the best in the league, I like what they've done with the LB core and just hope Mayo doesn't have a sophmore slump.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, Parcells' coaching staff on the Giants was ridiculous. Included Belicheck, Weis, Crennel, and even Tom Coughlin.

Anyway the Pats are gonna be really good this year. Not trying to disrespect the other teams in the AFC East but even with a backup QB replacing one of the top players in the league, the Pats barely missed the playoffs last year.

I wouldn't call him a beast during his time as a Patriot but he was pretty damn good. If Burgess plays like Colvin did during his good years then I'll be happy with this pick up. Patriots defense is never based around one pass rusher - it's a balanced attack.

I'm really looking forward to this season, to be honest I'm not that worried about the defensive backs anymore. Depth at LB is the biggest concern I think. I don't think Mayo is gonna have a slump either and looks like he is already the captain of the defense - he lead the stretching at practice along with Brady and Sam Aiken (must be the new special teams captain now that Izzo is gone)

It's time for Hollaman to step up too

Yah. What do we go by DrA? Was he a fantastic cook on saturday nights before games? Did he have a mean cornhole game in the lockeroom that kept the team loose? LOL Seriously. The rediculous of this comment is only trumped by VEL quoting it to qualify his rediculous comment.

Amazing stuff guys. Keep it up. LOL. I havent even gotten into Pats v Colts mode yet.

Amazing.

If you call somone a beast and you're not going by stats, then what are you going by?

I love you VEL's defensive mode. The moment i question his comment he goes full " OMG RP knows everything, Peyton Mannin=GOD, Colts = Best team ever blah blah blah " mode. What a predictable poster this guy is. LOL i never mentioned anything about the Colts. He just realizes he's overstated his argument and got called on it and now he needs to go on defense. Great stuff. I love it. Love pushing this guys buttons so easily. Even when i dont try, the button get's pushed. LOL

I wonder how long it will take VEL to get past his defensive mode and actually tell us what makes Colvin a beast. I'm guessing it wont happen.

actually, you don't push any buttons... you're just predictable that's all.

Like you making us this "defensive mode"... funny stuff really....

Anyway...

So, it's only about stats.... ok....

So, a DB that has a lot of tackles is a great DB then? Of course if they have a lot of tackles they're also giving up a lot of completions... but they did tackle the guy after he caught it.

What about a LB or DL that draws double coverage and allows others to make plays?

or a NT that plays 2-gap, takes on 2 OL which frees up the chance for a blitzing LB or DB to make a play?

How about offense? a WR who can go deep and draw double sometimes triple coverage and free up people for shorter yard plays? Where does he rank?

Sorry RP, it's not all about the individual stats, it's a team game and when healthy he was a Beast on those teams.

Broncos release their first depth chart.

Correll Buckhalter is the top RB right now, with Lamont Jordan coming in second.

Surprisingly, Alphonso Smith is the only rookie to make the first string as the punt and kick returner. Maybe that draft pick wasn't so bad after all.

Steven Jackson finna run wild on you

I feel like Steven Jackson has gone through an entire NFL career now. lol

I'm just noticing how he is getting minimal respect in fantasy leagues because the team is so bad. It seems like he's gone through the backup period, the due paying period, the top tier back period, the getting forgotten about period and he's only been in the league for what? 4 years or something?

I still find him to easily be one of the 3 or 4 best all around backs in the league though.

Running Backs don't last that long in the NFL in the all-star to elite status for that many years. I think the average for any player in the NFL is about 4 years with RBs being one of the shorter positions.

THe Vick is going to the Bills rumors are getting out of hand.

Now everyone thinks he is at the airport.

DaveBrawl
08-13-2009, 11:35 AM
I expect him to be a Bronco for two reasons.

1: I never liked his style of play, even at VT
2: It makes no sense

That second one seems like the theme of the current administration. :lol:

Plus add to that the fact I like Orton as a qb, so he's bound to get stabbed in the back much like Plummer.

I am giving him all the benefit of the doubt I can as a coach for a couple seasons, and when you step back his roster moves as a whole make sense, but they haven't handled everything as well as they could have from a public perspective.

<font color=goldenrod>There are worse places Vick could have wound up than the Bills. He's not allowed to play until Week 5 I believe, so it would have given time to evaluate Trent Edwards. I'm sure Vick would have made for a better backup than Ryan Fitzpatrick. If the Bills were gonna sign him I'm sure they'd tell him that he's not going to start unless needed. Plus he'd be good for some trick plays.</font>

If there was something the Eagles should have learned from benching McNabb for Kolb last year in the Ravens game its that Kolb absolutely sucks.

Speaking of said Ravens, I was really impressed with their shutout win over the Redskins. I know it was a meaningless game and probably speaks more to how terrible the Redskins are going to be but anyway.
