Adam Schefter as GM, Chris Berman as a cheerleader and Bob Ley as PR guy.

Fixed.

And just read that Atary Bigby is out for a month. And didn't Nick Collins leave the Bears game with some kind of injury? If so, that kind of puts a dent in the Packer secondary.

See I don't beleive that, becuase then why would he not just sign with Carolina. But you know your team better than me.

I'm not sure. The only reason I can think of is that Carolina wanted Feeley more.

The Eagles have to start Kolb because this was the exact scenario and reason that Reid claimed to have drafted him for. If they're not confident in him for this game, then it speaks volumes about the FO's decision-making.

ya know..i was never that "big" on bigby but certainly the coaches are, so that will hurt some.

Collins was cramping up IIRC, he should be fine.

Trust me, you aren't the only one. I'm still not sure why he was the "second coming of Sharper", but regardless, not sure who you guys have back there now.
Collins being okay is huge for your secondary.

Is there a point in time down the road where you see Woodson moving to saftey?

OILFAN #81 · 09-16-2009, 03:37 PM

Other then Marvin Harrison, what other free agent WR's are still available? If Anthony Gonzalez is out a month or so with a knee injury, it's rumored Indy will look at bringing in a WR.

Nope...especially in this 3-4 scheme. though its Hawk calling the shifts and whatnot on D, Woodson is the single most important guy overall. His blitzing ability off the corner is imperative as well as his ability to play the run. this whole 3-4 thing is fascinating to me...as it has literally taken one of the worst personnel groupings (within a certain system as there is talent everywhere) and looks to be transforming them into an upper level D thus far.

My worry has always been the safeties though...ever since Sharper left, IMO it has been the number 1 problem with the team. Collins is a top notch guy but is over aggresive at times. Aaron Rouse shows signs that he will be a really good player, then blows up all of a sudden. Derrick Martin is just to small for the position IMO...but he does play bigger than he is...and he was good with the Ravens last year in the dime package, but had a world of support around him.

David tyree is out there...as is Hank Baskett after he clears waivers.

Dont think darryl Jackson nor Matt jones have signed either.

And ruvell martin was released by the Pack..he may be floating on their practice squad.

Hmm, ya, not too familiar with the 3-4 setup. More of an AFC thing, but if you have the personel to run it, then you might as well. If you guys had stayed with the 4-3, I thought you'd switch Woodson to saftey, but the new lineup changes that.

I'd expect Capers will either find someone to be that rock at the saftey spot or force the team's hand and draft someone to be that guy back there.

That MNF should be a good game in 2 weeks. As you can see, I'm already a tad geared up for that.

Yeah Tyree would be interesting. Toomer is also out there.....

I actually think Baskett would be the best option for the Colts. He has terrific hands, great size, and decent speed. The guy is also a fierce run-blocker and a gamer on special teams.

rubecube · 09-16-2009, 05:29 PM

This is kind of funny. Today I was thinking about the Jaguars and their crappy QB situation, as well as their inability to sell tickets. It got me thinking that it might not be a bad idea for them to draft Tim Tebow next year. Apparently their owner has the same idea.

The Falcons are gonna wear their retro's this week vs. Carolina (nothing to do with the AFL's anniversary). They look pretty sweet IMO!!

Puke!

Sainters7 · 09-16-2009, 07:28 PM

I wish the Saints would break theirs out one time again. They wore em once, on the Sunday Nighter in '02, and then never again. They seem to sell well from pans of the Superdome crowd that I see, I don't get it.

Fozzie_DeBear · 09-16-2009, 07:50 PM

I'd like to pick anyones brain about my fantasy pool for next week. Selfish I know but whatever. Would you rather play Rivers vs Bal or Farve in Det?

I'm leaning towards Rivers since Baltimore's D isn't the same since their defensive coordinator left.

Any opinions?

Sainters7 · 09-16-2009, 08:40 PM

Forgot to mention this on Monday, but good god was that secondary MNF crew(the one with Steve Young) horrible! They were driving me nuts. They just constantly kept interrupting each other, and there was never more than a second or two of quiet before one of em would start up again. Horrible.

Seriously? Favre...and it's not even close IMO.
