I'm not understanding the absence of Burkhead on so many plays in such a big game, when they had him in they moved the ball down the field, they took him out and they had to settle for a field goal. Now they can't get anything going and its been Abdullah out there.
what a moron
Damn did anyone just see that Martinez run, that wouldve been a sack for anybody else, went down as 76 yards, might have been close to a 100 yard run, at least 90, id have to see it again
That was an amazing touchdown! Id like to see ESPN try to leave that out of their top 10...
Matt Jones had a shoulder problem which limited the amount he could throw, from what I remember. I would say closer to a Randy Moss clone, except he they used him like a possession receiver, and on those types of routes Moss looked average at best, Moss excelled on go routes, post routes etc. I...
Paul Krause is definetely not overrated, I would say underrated. When Vikings fans started talking about Harrison Smith and his skin color someone brought up Krause, most people didn't even know who he was.
I think Don said it best, IF there was something fishy it was for the spread. I really don't think these refs care about keeping the td record alive for Drew Brees, I mean seriously, what purpose would that serve, what would they gain from that? I believe the Saints were 3.5 underdogs, they...
refs make bad calls/ bad no calls the entire game, usually on both teams. I think people just pay more attention at the end of games when its on the line. What does it matter when the td happened? if they don't make the call (something like that slides often) since "they have something for him"...
...I think if they were really trying to save it they wouldn't have called the penalty on Graham for the (would be) td pass Brees threw to Sproles.
54 consecutive games with a td is an amazing accomplishment, especially with the receivers he has. Lance Moore the go to guy? Colston? Jimmy Graham...
used to be worse, looked like the pro version of the Bayou Classic back when Aaron Brooks faced his cousin Michael Vick.
The Saints have been targeting the White tight end David Thomas a little more (still not much), and Jed Collins has gotten a few targets.
The way Michael Turner just sliced...
5'9 180 isn't that small for a scatback. Warrick Dunn was the exact same size. Plus the guy still has a year left in high school, he could add 10 to 20 pounds by the time he is ready to start in college. Probably will at least get to 190. JJ DiLuigi was 5'8 190 after college.
geez AND Kregg Lumpkin? are they looking at Mike Bell as well?
getting rid of Babin is ridiculous. He is listed with 5.5 sacks for the season in 11 games, which averages out to 8 sacks over 16 games, so he would have a had a slightly below average year for a sack specialist, since getting...
Great news, I remember he was lighting it up for a few weeks while the main back was injured, and then went back to 4th string once the guy was back...not sure how that works out to where he is the next in line due to injury but 4th on the depth chart.
"only 5'9 198 pounds" and hints that it...
Hopefully the Weddle's recent concussion doesn't stop him from playing next week, haven't checked the news yet. Didn't get to see a good close up view of it yet to see if there was any intent to injure him, but on that 4th and 29 I saw Boldin run a good ways like a kamikaze almost as soon as the...
the sad part is, that most dwfs probably don't remember, is that Alex Smith was one of the first qbs to come out of the whole spread option zone read offense, playing under Urban Meyer at Utah, his 2 years starting he had over 1k, with 600 coming his last season 4.7 ypc. He ran a 4.7, which...
the box score on espn says 179 yards today, and 821 coming in, which would put him at exactly 1,000 yards unless those are the wrong numbers. Hope his injury isn't serious, good to see at least a few of the top White backs from the past few years getting a chance to do something, Zwinak one of...
well at least Zwinak is on ESPN doing well with 147 yards rushing for right now against Wisconsin still in the 3rd, and Zach Line was on FX earlier. Hopefully some people tuned into these games.
Man I am so sick of the Grambling/Southern game. There's already a large black population here...
this is their example of Moreno "showing flashes of his elite ability"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=92owAaBGf_A
thats on over 500 touches, his highlights. I think Jacob Hester could do better. If that is Knowshon Moreno's ceiling then he might wind up like another...
I could see the Jaguars drafting him. Maurice Jones Drew is one of the top backs in the league, came into the season after holding out for a big contract, didn't get it. He has been injured the past few weeks, and they expect a few more. His contract doesn't end until after next season. By...
Yes he has been taking first team reps all week. Reading about Tebow today surprisingly quite a few fans noticed the double standard, that Alex Smith can be benched after being a winner just because the backup was good for a game, meanwhile Tebow sits on the bench even though Sanchez is horrible...
Because not many running qbs were accurate. The pistol formation should get credit. It allows for u to have the benefits of both shotgun passing and power running. Combine that w the zone read plus shanahans great run blocking scheme and defenses are confused. It's only his first year, teams...
damn Edelman can't catch a break, possible concussion from helmet to helmet hit. I wonder if Eric Smith will somehow be fined for being in the general vicinity of the hit heh
well the announcers are getting better....just as I was typing that though they were kind of downplaying the td by Edelman, very subtle though saying "well it was basically two strong safties out there so blah blah", so its okay for two black safties to get burnt in coverage but if it were...
not much since at 272 yds 4 tds 1 int. looks like the cowboys made some adjustments. Beasley has 7 catches for 68 yds, actually leads in targets at 13 w Witten at 12 Cowboys down by a td
and a good deal of people realize the amount of help Aldon Smith is getting from Justin Smith. Without Justin Smith, Aldon's sack totals would be lower.
