I'm gonna take a stab at what Eli will say:
"We did some good things out there tonight but just didn't execute enough and left some points out there. We had some plays." Rinse and repeat twice or thrice. |

"No, I'm not concerned," Manning said when reminded that the first-team offense has failed to score a passing touchdown this preseason. "I thought tonight we did some good things. There are definitely things to learn from and things to improve on. We have some new guys in spots; it is just a matter of getting right on target and getting on the same page."

I believe Vick has been involved a lot with the QBs at Virginia Tech especially since his brother fizzled out badly for the college (off-field issues) and the NFL.
ESPN had a mention 1-2 weeks ago how Vick is usually called for input each college pre-season to help improve the training for the QBs so they are more NFL-ready and better players for the team. Obviously he wasn't able to help during his time in jail though. |

There's a part of me that misses Vick in a Falcons uniform (he was the reason I started getting into football at all), but I'm very happy with how the Falcons have turned out without him. He's an amazing player, but the risk-reward drove me nuts as a fan, and he probably never would have gotten as good as he has had he not left Atlanta and had everything else happen to him. He's not the quarterback I remember watching - he's better. The injury risk is still very present, and he's never shown super consistency over an entire season, but he will carry the Eagles on his back some games to make up for it.
That being said, I cannot believe the Falcons ever survived the whole debacle. Kudos to Arthur Blank, Thomas Dimitroff, and Mike Smith for making a team that looks to be good for a while in a really tough division, and fuck Bobby Petrino. |

and..tyrod taylor tore up his shoulder in the final preseason game..so the Ravens will have to go scraping the bottom of the barrel for a veteran backup QB now.

Jerrel Jernigan is going to take years off of my life if he actually is the punt returner this year. The guy has fumbled/muffed almost every punt this pre-season. He doesn't look at the ball because he's too afraid of getting hit.

Good to see Rivers McCown wrote and posted the annual " Why the Colts run may be over" column on ESPN insider. I didn't know what I would do with out it.
It starts with " Indianapolis core is aging fast and the team doesn't have young talent to replace it " Wouldn't feel like a Colts gloom and doom story if they didn't recycle that line from the last five years. |

Clint Sintim might have torn his ACL, yet another season-ending injury. Didn't have much faith in him contributing anyway, seems like he is officially a bust...plus plenty of younger LB's have looked excellent. Anyway, with the pre-season over with and roster cuts due this weekend, I'm gonna take a stab at the Giants' 53-man roster. Mind, I wouldn't be shocked if they picked up a player or two off of the waiver wire when other teams make their cuts, especially at TE.
QB (2): Eli Manning, David Carr HB (4): Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, D.J. Ware, Da'Rel Scott FB (1): Henry Hynoski WR (6): Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham, Domenik Hixon, Victor Cruz, Devin Thomas, Jerrel Jernigan TE (3): Travis Beckum, Bear Pascoe, Daniel Coats OL (9): Will Beatty, David Diehl, David Baas, Chris Snee, Kareem McKenzie, Kevin Boothe, Mitch Petrus, James Brewer, Stacy Andrews DE (5): Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul, Osi Umenyiora, Dave Tollefson, Justin Trattou DT (4): Chris Canty, Linval Joseph, Rocky Bernard, Jimmy Kennedy LB (7): Mathias Kiwanuka, Jonathan Goff, Michael Boley, Phillip Dillard, Greg Jones, Jacquain Williams, Spencer Paysinger CB (5): Corey Webster, Aaron Ross, Brian Williams, Prince Amukamara, Michael Coe S (4): Antrel Rolle, Kenny Phillips, Deon Grant, Tyler Sash K (1): Lawrence Tynes P (1): Steve Weatherford LS (1): Zak DeOssie --- Herzlich doesn't make it. Really gutting, and I hope I'm wrong...but I just don't see the Giants giving up on Phillip Dillard. It takes a lot for the Giants to give the axe to one of their 4th round or earlier draft picks after only one year. I would much rather they keep Herzlich and dump Dillard. Or, keep both and dump an extra OL, but that in and of itself is unlikely as 9 OL seems to be the Coughlin standard. If they want to have Bear as an H-back again they could dump Hynoski for the extra spot but I'm not too sure about that either. If Osi didn't get his damn knee scraped out, they could probably just go with 4 DEs. Also with Prince out until October if another CB goes down I think they might have to make another roster move since having only 3 active CBs could be killer. |

Eron Riley gets cut despite being Denver's leading non-starting WR, but Mitch Unrein who's done less than nothing gets a spot. The fuck?

Patriots expected to cut S Brandon Meriweather while RB Sammy Morris confirmed to be cut. They also got rid of S James Sanders and WR Brandon Tate to go along with some lesser names.
Morris wasn't a shocker considering he's been hurt most of the time and Tate never could adjust to Belichick's system even during the last 2 preseasons. Meriweather was decent at Safety but Belichick loves Jared Mayo soo much he gave him the captain tag over the entire defense since last year. Ironic thing is Pats wanted Vernon Gholston in the 2008 draft but the Jets took him just so BB wouldn't have his top player and instead went with Mayo as the Plan B pick ... Gholston ended up getting released while Mayo is seen as one of the best young LB in the NFL. |

Looking around the league to see if any interesting players were cut. I'm expecting Jake Ballard and either Michael Coe or Derrick Martin to ultimately be cut in favor of a new TE and DB.
The Giants somehow were able to put Sage Rosenfels on IR for strep throat...but that means his $3 million cap hit still takes effect. |

Bears picked up Brandon Meriweather in a 1 year deal, no amount on the deal was revealed. Probably won't be a starter based on ESPN's analysis and how the Bears already announced their starters at the spot before the deal was done.
Patriots signed G Brian Waters to beef up the depth and quality on the offensive line. |

Kinda wanted the Giants to pick up Meriweather...but I figured they wouldn't. Dude made the Pro Bowl two years running, so I'm assuming he was a huge douchebag to warrant getting pushed down the deoth chart and released. Belichick and Coughlin have the same mentality on dealing with players' bullshit.
Andre Brown and Adrian Tracy both have cleared waivers and will be on the practice squad. Happy about that. |
