Chris Henry :(

What about him?

If he gets traded and has to wear a different number than 85, I'll shit my pants.

CHAD JAVON OCHO CINCO

So he really is crazy

Does he have any kids?

Andre Woodson got cut :$

Bengals release Rudi Johnson.

Texans release Roosevelt Colvin.

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, pretty surprised we didn't keep Woodson and cut Droughns or somebody.

In fact, if Tynes wasn't hurt, Woodson would be a definite...I'm sure they'll try to get him on the Practice Squad and hope someone else doesn't take him.

Not sure how I feel about John Carney...I hope Tynes isn't out long.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Also, Giants already have 8 players on IR</font> :o

John Carney

:(

We cut K Melhalf which make no f'n sense to me.. I mean, he is a really good kicker and has looked almost as good as Gramatica in camp and preseason.. He just doesn't have the consistency Marteeeeeeen does on kick offs..

I dunno, seems like a huge waste..

Colts are the best. I hate Kenton Keith and love Mike Hart and so ofcourse, they cut KK today and keep Mike Hart as the 3rd RB. Love it. Love Mike Hart. He reminds me of Curtis Martin. I wouldnt be suprised if he's getting some of Dom's carries by the end of the season.

lol. That seemed so campy for some reason.

"The Colts are just swell, guys! They're the bees knees!"

I thought Droughns was a lock to get cut but now that I think about it with what happened last year at RB it makes sense for the Giants to try to stay as deep as possible. I'm confident (knock on wood) that Eli will be fine, as well as Carr because our line won't let him get hit that much.

He was a very solid RB at UofA and deserves more than being on special teams where he almost got killed :(

New rules.


— Giving designated defensive players a radio in his helmet, allowing coaches to relay defensive signals just as offensive signals are relayed from offensive coaches to the quarterback.

— Eliminating the 5-yard penalties for incidental face masks. Only the 15-yard penalty for grabbing and twisting the mask will be enforced. In addition, officials will be on the lookout for offensive players who latch on to the face masks of defenders in an effort to take them out of plays.

<b>— Eliminating the force out rule. In the past, officials could rule a receiver whose feet had not touched in bounds had made a catch because a defensive player had forced him out. Under the new rule, a receiver must land with both feet in bounds regardless of whether or not he is hit while in the air.

“We feel that with so many levels of judgment that go into the force-out call, it creates a more consistent play when either you get your feet down for a complete pass or you do not,” says Atlanta president Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee, which proposed the change. </b>

— Extending instant replay to cover field goal and extra points and illegal forward handoffs. One reason the rule was added was a play at the end of a game in Baltimore in which Phil Dawson’s 51-yard game-tying field goal attempt for Cleveland bounced off an upright, then off the support behind the crossbar. Officials first ruled it no good because they thought it had hit the crossbar, then conferred and made the correct call.

That sucks. I thought the force out rule was a good rule. It doesn't take TOO much judgment either. If a guy is pushing your body while you're in and you come down out of bounds, force out.

Yeah, it will be a bitch call when it happens in the endzone and you are on 3rd down.

What if someone just decided to try and carry you outside? Whats the sanction on that? Horrible.

We'll see though. Maybe it'll make the NFL a little more 'gangsta' where the recievers have to work harder and stiff the competition.

Okay. I thought you meant the Bengals receiver so I went to NFL.com to see what was going on and found no info.

As for the Titan's Chris Henry, didn't he get suspended for drugs last year?

lol. I can see it now. Some skinny receiver catches a ball in the middle of the field and gets picked up before his feet hit the ground and is carried all the way to the sideline, all the while screaming and fighting to get down. Perfectly legal!!! :lol:

I think it was overtuned? I don't remember.

Card's are gonna start Kurt "paper or plastic" Warner over Leinart..

When are they gonna give him the keys and let him drive??

When he stops sucking and Warner stops being way too good for an 80 year old QB.

When you have the talent on offense that Arizona does, you want to win NOW. I totally understand.

I guess Stima was right..

:-\

John Lynch is always welcome back to Denver.

Denver cuts Glenn Martinez.

Thought the guy had a good future and could do some good in the WR crew.

his " elite play " speaks for itself? I guess it wasnt elite enough for New England.

They have a 2nd place ring you know.

OMG

this

Says Jason "Toast" David got cut today.. I see no news of it anywhere else..

WTF

Also

No Palko or Melhalf.. I'm glad we're trying to keep Skyler Green around..

Rams add Ricky Manning Jr...

I heard that is still going to be called a touchdown. So there will still be some judgment for the ref (a push out = no catch but a carry out does)

As for Lynch I bet he'll still play at least a few games for the Patriots this year

Yeah, I heard on Sportscenter tonight that he won't get his guarantee if he doesn't play week one so, they cut him and are planning on resigning him week two..

lol

That is sad..

When they rehire Denny "He is WHO I THOUGHT HE IS" Green??

I think Kurt Warner has one really great year in him. This might be it. I'll be making my season predictions in a few. Stay tuned.

Tampa cut Eugene Wilson :wtf:

His play has really been on the decline the last few years, can't say that I am that surprised

Jason David didn't get cut.. It was a "typo" by NFL.com..

I bet the asshole who did it is a Falcons fan..

:foc:

I guess. You'd think they would know that before signing him :-\

Anything goes when it comes to hoes man.

Travis Henry has like 9 or something ridiculous

I just don't understand how you can have that many kids. They just must not give a shit. I mean you figure you have all the money in the world, that takes care of it right?

Lions sign Rudi Johnson and release Tatum Bell.

Joe Flacco wins the QB job in Baltimore.

But the big story today is Jags OT Richard Collier getting shot this morning. He's in critical condition.

Yeah,that sucks.. Specially since I have both their RBs and Gerrard on my Fantasy Squad.. Dude didn't have a starting job, but had competed heavily for it through out training camp..

:(

Joe Flacco over Troy Smith? Didn't see that coming

Broncos trade CB Domonique Foxworth to the Falcons for an 7th round draft pick. Could be higher if Foxworth gets a good amount of playtime.

Kinda spooked about this. I wanna know what Shanahan got cooking in that brain of his. Unless we got one hell of an corner I don't know about, bad trade.

Smith is out with some sort of tonsil infection.

Champ Bailey and Dre Bly?

Yahoo Fantasy football draft tomorrow joind now pls.

PW:123123

Nah the big story is Tatum Bell stole Rudi's bags.

and bigger news...

Brady has a fracture in his foot... repoted needs 3-4 weeks to heal, but he's still expected to play week 1.

Here's how the season starts.

Chiefs
@ Jets
Phins
BYE
@ 49'ers.

I wouldn't mind if they sat him the first 3 games and the bye, heck even game 4 (week 5) vs. SF... and let it heal fully.

although, no one seems to know when the break happened, so he might only be a week away.

Damn it..

If he plays, I'm still gonna start him in my FFL..

Where did you hear this news?? Has it been confirmed yet??

Didn't he have a stress fracture (ie crack in his foot) in the Superbowl last year?

I wouldnt mind either. They'd lose 3 of those games.

WEEI, I missed the original "breaking news" in the morning and caught it on the 2nd show.

The reality is, if he does have a crack Belicheck will NEVER let you know.

I thought he had some type of foot injury...

you should stick to thing you know about... like black penis...
- Bob Sanders...

You would win those games with Matt Cassell and your slow defense? Ha Ha Ha okkkkkkkkkkkkk is Plax playing defense?

It was reported by a member of the sports media in Boston, same pool of people (granted it was from 2 different organizations, but they are all the same) who said Matt Walsh had a videotape of the Rams walk through before Superbowl 36. I'll wait until somebody credible reports it, even if he does have a crack in the foot he'll probably still be able to play through it anyway - at least I would hope so.

cowboys

are gay..

I finished you thought for you, Ninti..

hater

lol. :roll:

Tatum Bell is a ninja

Daunte Culpepper Retires From NFL

Posted Sep 4th 2008 11:39AM by Michael David Smith (author feed)
Filed under: Dolphins, Raiders, Vikings

Daunte Culpepper announced his retirement today after nine seasons in the NFL.

He expressed his frustrations with the NFL in his retirement letter:

When Free agency began this year, I had a new sense of excitement about continuing to rebuild my career in the same way that I had rebuilt my knee after my catastrophic injury in 2005. Unfortunately, what I found out was that the league did not share any of the optimism about me as an Unrestricted Free Agent that I expected. In fact, there was an overwhelming sense that there was no room for me among this year's group of quarterbacks; whether in a starting, competing or a back-up role. No matter what I did or said, there seemed to be a unified message from teams that I was not welcome to compete for one of the many jobs that were available at the quarterback position. It seems that the stance I took in both Minnesota and Miami regarding my rights as a person and player has followed me into Free Agency.


Culpepper was the Vikings' first-round draft pick in 1999 and spent seven seasons in Minnesota, playing in three Pro Bowls. He then played the 2006 season in Miami and the 2007 season in Oakland.


--------

It's pretty sad.. That knee injury completely fucked him.. So glad the Phins went after him instead of Brees..

Maybe if he had shown some kind of promise, they would have shared his optimism.

I'm excited for some football tonight. Just hoping for a good game. I don't have cable, so any good game I can see with the channels I've got is fine by me.

I heard Culpepper turned down 1 million dollars to be a back up in Green Bay, so whatever

Yeah, he wants to be a starter..

I can see where he's coming from, just s few years removed from the Probowl and the cover of Madden..

15 pages in, and Week 1 kicks off in an hour.

"I come to find out the bags weren't whose I thought they was."


THEY'RE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE.

<a href="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/29/an-open-letter-from-daunte-culpepper/">Not exactly</a>

Nice half by the Giants. I would have liked to see another TD instead of one of the three FGs but otherwise playing well on both sides of the ball. The closing minutes were a bit disappointing.

<font color=goldenrod>Real solid half. So glad football is back.</font> :love:

Room for improvement from the Giants, but all in all a solid ball game. Lets hope Kiwi is okay, saw him go down on that last play.

<font color=goldenrod>Kiwi walked off.....Chris Samuels needs to be fined. There was no reason to even run that play outside of trying to injure someone tbh.

Anywho, would've liked to have seen more scoring from the offense, but a win's a win.</font>

Not a bad season opener. 2nd half was a bit dull but I couldn't care less, I'm so glad that it's back on my TV.

Yeah!

Redskins are weak.

Look at their preseason stats and check how many TD's they made going back.

They made no TD's for about 2 games I believe. Nothing but field goals.

I actually thought the Giants would win by a larger margin.

Good god, what a horribly coached game by Jim Zorn! One of the worst I've ever seen.

I thought Washington might be pretty bad judging from how abysmal they played in the final two preseason games but they just carried it right into the season. Run, run, pass, punt. Run, run, pass two yards short of the marker, punt. Run, run, pass two yards short of the marker, punt. Run, run, pass two yard short of the marker, punt. Not to mention how conservative they looked on D for the most part. I can't see them winning 4 games at this rate.

Giants shouldv'e swacked them..

I mean, they were dominant in the first half, then giving them good field position and then the penalty, allowing them to score right before the half..

Then they almost gave up the game in the second half, giving the Skins numerous opportunities to score and only holding onto a 9 point lead.. Zorn is a fucking idiot though.. ZERO clock management skills in that last 2 mins.. I mean, he never called a time out, he didn't kick a FG when well in range, with like 30 seconds left.. In that position, you always kick the FG, then the onsides.. Atleast then you get a shot at winning.. By going for it, he completely killed any chance they had of winning..

Retarded..

I didn't even get around to mentioning his horrible clock management. Madden and Michaels tried to chalk it up to inexperience. That can't be an excuse for the simple things. Clock management and play calling that is THAT horrific are just inexcusable. He's been around the game for a long time. It's not like they are coaching secrets you need to learn over time or something.

Yeah, the closest I've come to playing pro ball is playing Madden and I seemingly have 100% better clock management skills than Zorn..

Did it occur to anyone that they may have called the game that way because the Giants dominated the LOS?

Yeah the Redskins game plan was pretty bad. That west coast crap isn't going to work in the NFC East. That division is all about smash mouth football, and they showed none of that. Working their way down the field with short gains out wide can work in the first and third quarters when you can eat up clock and tire out the defense, but not when there's 2 minutes left on the clock and you have to score twice, or when you're 3rd and 15 and you go for a short 5 yard pass. They did it again and again it didn't make sense. Why would you pass to a guy well before the marker on 3rd and long?! They could be forgiven if it was a one off but they did it time and time again, like robots who weren't programmed to do anything else.

Shame really because this Redskins team has a lot of potential.

That has nothing to do with the piss poor clock management..

I was more so referring to #1-wwf-fans mention of the run, run, pass, punt bit. The clock management was terrible indeed. I feel bad for Campbell because of all the coaching systems he has been going through but you know what he is a Redskin, so fuck him.

I heard they paid Strahan $75k to appear last night..

lol who did you hear that from?

ESPN SportsCenter

Hate to break it to you but the Eagles run the west coast offence.

Oh :$ my bad. I just think they're going away from their strengths a bit. They should stick with what they did in their late surge last season that got them into the playoffs. Wouldn't it have made sense to build on that for this season? If they'd kept their composure and didn't press the panic button so soon agasint the Seahwks last year, they could have easily got to the divisional round.

I agree to an extent. Gibbs built a team that he wanted to coach, and the players they have now aren't totally suited to what Zorn seems to want to do. Still, we'll see.

So the solution to getting dominated at the line is to become predictable? Shotgun, quick pass... something. And on top of that, they actually protected much better as the game went along yet the play calling remained the same.

There is NO good reason to call a game like that. Period.
