Huh, I might have caught him at his best last year then. When I saw him he still looked good in the run blocking, as opposed to Steve Hutchinson who looked like a shadow of his former run blocking self last year. |

Yeah -- I can honestly say that, other than the playoff games, I did not watch much of the Jets last season, so I don't know much beyone the short article I read today. It kind of insinuated that his run blocking was no longer good enough to "carry" his pass blocking and that his Pro Bowl bid was based on reputation more than performance. I still wouldn't mind having him back w/ the Steelers. |

I looked over the schedule a little while ago and the Steelers have no primetime games until week 7 (including a game against the Ravens, which are almost always Sunday or Monday night), I believe. That, to me, indicates that he would be back by week 7. I'm really surprised that he is going to get nailed this hard, but it seems to be pretty widely anticipated around the news media and they made the deal for Leftwich, so I guess it is pretty likely that he is getting 3-4 minimum. |

well my prediction of an Eagles/Redskins Week 17 game didn't turn out so well-in fact their last game is a Monday night game in week 10. And I think they don't play the Giants until Week 13 and then last game of the year. Not a big fan of that.

Oakland is going to cut JaMarcus Russell. It's a shame that Al Davis didn't have anyone there to tell him drafting Russell may not be a good idea.

As expected, Pittsburgh West..er...Arizona signed G Alan Faneca to a 1 year deal. In somewhat of a shocking move, the Panthers have traded S Chris Harris back to the Chicago Bears for LB Jamar Williams. I thought Harris did a good job for Carolina, so a bit surprised to see him traded.

Sweet! I thought that trading Harris to the Panthers was a mistake in the first place, and looking at the Bears' safety play since that move pretty much proves the point. Glad to see him back!

Harris did fine as a Panther, but they are now deep at safety and thin at LB as part of their youth movement.

Favre's ankle now needs serious surgery and he's mulling retirement again. Surprisingly, he'll elect for the surgery and end up being 100% around the third week of August. Wait, then he'll miss most of training camp - darn!

Seeing as the kind of season Favre had last year (awesome, career year) I think and hope he comes back one last time. I'm not a vikings fan, but they were a real treat to watch last season for anyone a fan of the NFL or football in general.

Walter Jones retired yesterday and the Seahawks immediately retired #71 (only the second player number retired by the team).
5,703 pass attempts over 13 seasons, according to coaches stats, Walter Jones was called for holding 9 times and surrendered 23 sacks. 13 seasons, 9 pro bowls, 7 all pros and likely should have been the MVP in 2005 instead of Alexander. Just a shame that he never got a ring and that his career was ended more so by injuries than anything else. A truly great career though.

Quote from the report:
"On Thursday April 29, 2010 at 21:00 hours, aircom requested officers to gate D-77 for a report of an incident aboard the aircraft no other information was available," the report states. "Myself and Officer [redacted] arrived and spoke to flight attendant [redacted] of Colgan Air who stated that a passenger wouldn't turn off his ipod when requested to do so and requested officers to speak to him"

this is the kind of player I'd love to have on my team
"The Associated Press reports linebacker Rolando McClain led Alabama last season in tackles, big hits and hours spent studying football. So when the Oakland Raiders drafted him in the first round with the No. 8 overall choice, McClain did what any serious student of the game would do before his first big NFL test: start studying for the three-day mandatory minicamp. "The day after I got drafted, I called looking for a playbook, something to look over, some DVDs and the playbook," McClain said after his first minicamp practice with the Raiders. "I didn't waste any time." McClain said the Raiders quickly shipped him some material to study. Then when he arrived for minicamp, Raiders coach Tom Cable immediately plugged him into his defense at middle linebacker with the first-team. "I thought very poised and he seemed to adapt to being able to go in and call the huddle right away," Cable said. "He's been here really less than 24 hours. It shows the level of intelligence this young has, his background. He was very impressive that way. Now, he's got to learn how to play in our defense."

And yet Davis is still fooled as he thinks he selected Bruce Campbell at the top of round 1 and then moved up to get speedster Jacoby Ford in the middle of the first. |

Well I wouldn't use either as amazing examples. Ford is really fast but it's straight line speed. When you watch him play games he is not 4.3 fast. He plays much slower and very robotic. Campbell was a good developmental pick but I liked Valdheer better. Campbell should be a good OG in the future, but he again is a combine wonder who is very raw. I love what Oakland did but I think some of it is comparatively speaking to my expectations on what they might have done. There first three picks were damn solid though. |

I actually very much like the Campbell pick since it was round 4 and I don't mind the Ford pick either since again it was round 4 and he should help on returns and in the slot.

I actually can completely believe that the Raiders' staff purposefully neglected to tell Al Davis that the draft started on Thursday this year.

It's really almost like...it was destined to be. I think he might possibly make it through one year before he gets booted out of the league...but if so it'll only be because something happens in say...late october and the commish won't take action until an investigation is done and the season is over for the bengals. Over/Under for "Date of incident that gets him in trouble with league office" (regardless of when it comes to light, when it occurs). I'll take October 26 and the under.

So Cushing was taking the same stuff that got Manny Ramirez banned for 50 games? Does that mean he's now subject to the same mocking that MR got for being on a women's fertility drug?
