His pick was on a pass to Stokley, who looks good.

Brad Hoover just picked up 9 or 10 yards on a run for a first down, with a sweet little cutback.
one announcer said, "a nice,nifty move," but the other one laughed and said "he's got his two carries for the day. that's it Brad, it's over. it's over" at which point they both started laughing.
i guess a 10 yard run is embarassing somehow.

I wonder what they think of Lendale White...

Heath Evans also got a TD in that game.

Yea Evans actually scored the first attempt but the refs made an idiotic call and denied him the TD. still got it in the end though. Evans lined up as a single back on 4 or 5 occasions but on 2 or 3 of those times they passed. Morris looked good today. Not good news for Heath.
Eric Weddle is having a huge first half, though of course the announcers are downplaying it and blaming others for breakdowns. Weddle is going to be an unstoppable force in the NFL.

i just saw and heard the same things, Don.
my man Weddle is great! the Caste System is a great big lie.

Announcers in Broncos Bills had good things to say about Schobel (relentless or words to that effect), and also were praising the white Bronco lineman who was trying to contain him.

I must have misheard, I just created a thread for Weddle in the Chargers forum saying the same thing, except I didn't think the announcers were downplaying his performance so much.

I think you're thinking of Matt Lepsis.referendum said:
In addition to that, they called Stokley the best route-runner in the NFL! They also praised Losman for his athleticism.
White Shogun said:
I don't think it's so much downplaying as also blaming someone on the offense for allowing Weddle to make a play, whereas ifhe was black they would be trying to outdo each other in praisingthe great new rookie in the leagueand ignoring any possible offensive goats.

As I stated before the future doesn't look bright for white players. In north Jersey where I am from there are very few white running backs and defensive backs are being recruited even though they have put up stellar numbers. I have seen several Division III offers but thats it.

Damn. Good luck to yourself and everyone else in New Jersey.whiteathlete33 said:

The one thing that I am proud of is that Wayne Chrebet is from Garfield NJ which is the town I grew up in. He was an excellent receiver and a good role model for white kids all over the United States. Luis Castillo is also from Garfield.

Eric Weddle and Matt Wilhelm are playing very well for Chargers.
Hunter Hillnmeyer just got mad props ("exceptional, underrated football player") from the announcers for saving a TD by covering a wide receiver and tipping a ball in the end zone. he displayed speed, smarts and great timing, plus he's got some springs!

I believe Matt Jones didn't play but don't quote me on that.
I didn't see it during the game, but from the pic, it looks like Finnegan successfully broke up the play.

I agree with Don, doesn't look like a ball he had a real shot at catching. The defender was all over him, and from the angle of the ball it looks poorly thrown anyway. No surprise there. Nice pic though.
And is he giving Jones a wedgie? Isn't that a personal foul?

That's a better pic, backrow. Tough catch still but makeable.

yup, DB reacted real well on this play, but Matt needs to get all he can out of his limited (oh-so-limited now that Gerrard runs the show...) chances. you know that unless something happens he won't get more than two, three balls thrown his way.

How about Brian Leonard. He didn't get one carry all day and only had a couple passes thrown his way. S.Jackson had a horrible day running the ball but they never even gave Leonard one carry. Oh well.He will get to block all year and maybe for his whole career. Terrible game plan by the Rams. You have two very good running backs. Use them! Why else would you even bother picking this kid in the draft.
