Redskins.com last season had him moving up in the coaches' eyes for a roster spot until he got hurt. They wanted him to backup Marcus Washington at SLB, IIRC.

Factually correct; however, man is a sentimental creature that does not live by reason alone. Given my feelings towards most of the population, I equate dogs much higher on my personal scale. Is my dog worth an African savage? An unknown Chinaman? Or even you, someone I don't know?For me, I...

I honestly like Lehman over Ruud, esp. in a Cover-2 scheme, but Ruud has earned the job and shouldn't lose it unless he performs poorly.

Deion Sanders is talking up Tommy Z big time after the Combine. Hard to fathom why, unless Deion respects talent when he sees it. I wonder if Tommy Z might not be seen as more a tough guy by blacks due to his boxing background.

See, now I like LaBoy as a pass-rushing OLB better. He's around 250 or 255 and not 270, like Justin Smith(who plays the run very well to boot).

Dammit, really wanted to see Beck start.

And in the middle of all this, the Steelers sign Big Ben to a $36M guaranteed, $102M 6 or 8 yr deal.

I see the Browns going to more passing formations. Between Edwards(who seems OK), Stallworth, JJ and Winslow(an *******, but he'll only be there a couple more seasons before testing free agency) catching passes, they have little reason not to. Plus, when healthy, Jamal Lewis doesn't need a...

Hey, I hope I'm wrong. But I think that DE contracts are bigger than OLB contracts and so that's why he was signed that way. I just don't want to have to hear about his 'poor coverage skills' since that seems to be the new knock against every white defender around.

He's going to gain weight to play as a 3-4 DE. Remember, Bryant Young retired not that long ago. They did the same with their other DE, had him gain about 15 lbs to hold at the point of attack.

Again, I have no problem with Mitchell. I'd have rather he gone to a team where he wouldn't displace a white player is all. Buffalo already has a good number of whites on D, and I'd rather see him start for a team where he'd start over a black player. It'd be like him going to NO; they'd...

Yeah, I know. I pull for Kaesviharn. There is no consensus to reach. Pull for who you want.

I don't have a problem with Mitchell. I'd rather he'd gone elsewhere is all. The Bills already have quite a few white players on defense.

Given that he signed with the Bills, he'll only take a white LB's spot. I'd love for Pozluszny and DiGiorgio to be on the field at the same time, even tho they both play MLB.

Is Army's Caleb Campbell white, or very light-skinned? I usually root a bit for the service academy athletes, as they're usually a long shot to make the NFL, but he's within the top ten strong safeties this year. Just can't tell tho.

Speaking of guns, what are the forum members packing? I have three Brownings... 2 HPs(one in 9mm, one in .40 S&W) and a 12 gauge Citori over and under...

No kiddin'. You saw that he had Jacob Hester as one of the top three fullbacks too, right? The starting tailback for a major program that finished as national champs(IIRC, I don't follow college much)? And he's a fullback?

But can he cover? The reason to run a 3-4 is to disguise the blitz; I think he's a great player but wouldn't want to blitz him every down. What position did he play in college? DEs that can cover are rare; when zone blitzes don't work, they get exploited. Plus, I'd rather have a great...

Any rumors on what team might be interest in Tommy Z from Notre Dame? He's currently projected a third or fourth round pick, but ranked as the #3 strong safety by most sources I've seen.

Christian morals are a good idea, whether you agree with the religious aspect or not.

INterestingly, only two of those LBs play in 3-4 defenses(and the 49ers still run a hybrid defense, last I heard). The majority are also middle linebackers, although certainly not all. I'd be more curious as to stats for outside 3-4 LBs. How does Merriman compare to say, Mike Vrabel? His...

And Jim Zorn gets the nod.

Merriman proves most of all that the bookends of Luis Castillo and Igor olshansky, along with Jamal Williams in the middle, MAKE that defense work. I haven't looked at their stats, but all three seem to have their name called more than the typical 3-4 D-line players. As for Shockey, he's...

If Obama wins the nomination, chances are an assassination attempt could start that war.

Any team who had three Me! type players at once(Shockey, Burress and Barber) is going to give a young QB fits. Having to keep them all happy means forcing passes sometimes.
