That, and the fly pattern to the end zone by Burleson that had no chance, were the two plays of Herndon's that I saw. Fuck, the dude looks like a player. Undrafted FA CBs don't usually end up being awesome. How did he ever slip through the cracks? And why did stupid Denver let him go? They're not big fans of cornerbacks are they? Or do they think Champ Bailey can cover all of the receivers at once?

I do think Denver should've kept Herndon. But I think they're fine with Bailey, Walls, Williams, Paymah, Foxworth and Alexander

By the way, last 10 yrs, 5 of the last first picks have been defense (2004, they didn't have a 1st round pick) 3 of the last 5 were Defense. So, I wouldn't say it's ignored. The offense is just so good people assume they haven't done anything for defense. |

Did you just totally not read what i typed? You quoted it so i assume you read it. I clearly said they are notorius for not signing FREE AGENT defensive players. When i say ignoring the defense. I mean via free agency. I know all the players they've drafted. Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson, Freeny, Mathis, Doss. Good solid players. All drafted. What i was saying was that they have never even seriously persued a big time defensive free agent . Simon is without a doubt the biggest signee on the defensive side of the ball the Colts have ever had. |

Eagles waived Hugh Douglas, and Jon Ritchie. Sord of surprised on that. Since Mcdougle is out for a little I thought they would of atleast kept Hugh around. And Jon Ritchie was a little bit of a surprise also. Josh Parry the back up fullback played basically all of last season because Ritchie got hurt but I thought Ritchie was much better.
The Eagles picked up McCants though.. They turned their Wide Reciever group around big time which is huge. TO, McCants and I'm guessing the last spot is between Lewis or Reggie Brown.

Pats cut David Terrell which was kinda surprising but I guess they had to cut somebody. They had so many wideouts it was ridiculous. Kyle Eckle too

Yeah they were saying he wasn't 100% on the team during their preseason game with the Giants. The Giants ended up cutting Jesse Palmer, Kevin Lewis and a bunch of other guys that would have just been depth.

Lions made their cuts today too... only surprising name was Chris Cash, but I guess with McQuarters in town they didn't really need Cash. He was decent though, they should've kept him. oh wellz

Fuck yeah the Eagles just picked up Lamar Gordon...
Its good to atleast see the Eagles making some moves with Buckhalter out they bring in Gordon and Pinkston out bringing in McCants. LOL just read Freddy Mitchell got waived by the Chiefs. He is still the man though |

Must have been the one game I watched (not including the playoffs). Also, it was only one season and he was injured.
Still have him on my Madden team though.

C.J. Mosley has made the Vikings, and it looks like Damien Nash made the Titans too. There's quite a few Mizzou guys on NFL teams now. Brad Smith and Jason Simpson will be next year.

Nah, freal, Freddie's gonna end up working for FedEx as a marketing scheme. "Former NFL Star Freddie Mitchell, delivering your videos!"
Anyway, as far as Gophers in the NFL... Middlebrooks got cut. Tellis Redmon got cut... Jermaine Mays... Ron Johnson was cut a few days ago... no love for Gophers alumni. I mean shit, what's up with Thomas Tapeh? The Eagles cut their starting Fullback, and need a bruiser HB, yet they still refuse to look at Tapeh. He's the man. Seriously. Stupid Eagles.

Barber won't last either.
That tight end who was signed by Rectal's a few years back was supposed to be amazing though..what happened to him? |

But Ben Utecht I saw was the Colts' long snapper on a punt that was almost blocked, or was blocked, or something? Can't remember. But yea, long snapper wtf. He's a pass-catching TE you fags. But LOL@ Vikings getting rid of all of their tight ends. At least they still got Richard Owens I think.

Ben Hartsock out played him, but i think both will get time in the two tight end sets with Dallas Clark. Its one of the main formations for the COlts. Utecht wont be the long snapper. Justin Snow has had that job wrapped up for 2 years.

We all remember this discussion from last year and know where my money is. (He'll have a good year, but not the year he had last year... but the key will be if he can hold onto the ball again, if he's cured his fumble issues for good, he'll be a totally different player and I'll be the first to say "I was wrong") |

What was that brought up last year, like he could only bench like 200 pounds or something?

Yeah, Trips and some others went all hissy fit over Tiki and how he's the best and blah, blah, blah... how he like doubled his bench in the offseason and such. I stated that if he started fumbling the ball like he used to Coughlin is a discipline coach and would bench him, because he wouldn't stand for the turn overs. That being said, Tiki had a great year last year. Rushing, Catching and held onto the ball. Before I tip my cap to him as one of the leagues "Elite" backs, I want to see him do it for a 2nd year. |

Tiki is and always has been an amazing athlete. Sad part is it is his 8th or 9th year and his prime is past him. He won't have a fumbling problem this year I guarantee you that. If Eli plays well and we have some sort of passing game then I think Tiki will at least match last years totals. But then again, with the drafting of Brandon Jacobs we may run a two back system. Who knows?

Take into account also that he ran for 1,518 yards behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league. If he had been rushing behind even a decent O-line he would be putting up ridiculous numbers.

I mean, if you were beating the Giants by 14 points, would you be putting 8 in the box and risking a long TD? Or would you allow the run, taking time off the clock to speed up the inevitable? It's a thinker, init? I mean, how much of a threat were the Barry Sanders Lions, the Chiefs despite their "explosive offense," or the Chargers before last year? |

He shouldn't have retired, really. He's a legend, he can still produce, and he's a great asset to have on your team. He can show your younger WRs how it's done.

The way the 49ers treat players, I'd rather sign somewhere awesome, like Baltimore. Retire as a Raven, that's the way to go. You and Ray Lewis in the HOF together.

Sounds good to me. Ronny can move around and give Rice enough time to laboriously make it through his route before throwing a shitty pass that Rice has the skill and body control to come down with.
Match made in heaven. |
