Graham is not an actual starter, just in name. he's a blocking TE. Scheffler never technically started, outside of the games they come out in a double TE set to begin with. it doesn't matter as McDaniels offense kills TEs upside, so Scheff will just waste away.
after Brian Cushing's display, Laurinaitis is putting on a tackling clinic. 8 already.
John Carlson is up to 77 yards and 2 TDs, Colley has 5 catches for 47 so far.
i came running from the kitchen! wow, immaculate reception two! and they gave him all sorts of credit. how about a cool head and burning time at the end of the play instead of going in and showboating! wow, what a play, what a player. how can coaches not want players like that? (white, smart and...
he picked Sanchez off, but he fumbled on the return and it was Brown who scored after scooping it up (according to NFL.com, i am not watching this game atm).
Camarillo has one catch so far (he did catch Williams on his 53 yard fumble return and forced a fumble), nothing for Hartline. no white receiver is starring just yet. there's still time.
couple of carries so far, he's playing th role of 3rd down back atm. his 5 yards came on a trick play on 4th down.
Anthony Gonzalez got injured, looked pretty serious. it was his knee, no contact.
Couple of things:
as every season, i will do the stat recap of every NFL regular season week. i will try and do it on Sundays, however, due to lack of time there may be weeks where i won't post it til Monday, nevertheless it will be there every week, no worries.

Volek stayed in Tennessee even AFTER they got rid of McNair. the fact that they acquired Collins and drafted Young made him expendable in Fisher's eyes (there was some bad blood between them, can't recall what it was all about).
. . . they changed to 3-4. the system that relies on OLBs to get pressure on QBs. Kampman, being their most talented pass rusher was too valuable and too small (at 6'4 and a generous 260) to be a 3-4 d-end. Igor Olshansky is a prototypical 3-4 end at 6'6, 309 lbs.

Coach Jim Caldwell confirmed Wednesday that rookie Austin Collie beat out Pierre Garcon for the Colts' third receiver position.
The Colts previously said it'd be a timeshare, but Collie is the better option as a slot receiver with remarkable hands and underrated...
Houston finally has some exciting white players on their defense in Barwin, Cushing and some solid ones in Bulman and Busing.
if you add that to Walter, Anderson, Daniels and Casey, they make for an interesting team from our point of view.
