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.

feel free to point out players that i missed, no QBs as there's simply too many of them and caste system doesn't affect them in the same way it does other positions. i will update the lists every week with recent transaction: ie player cut, player went to IR etc, however after a while i will take these plaers out, simply for the sake of clarity.

 

[DWFan]

Thanks man!

 

[whiteathlete33]

I see Leonard actually got a carry.

 

[backrow]

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.

 

[Animalmuther0]

Watching the Broncos/Bengals. Knowsho Moreno sucks. Only one Hillis sighting so far.

Whoops. Hillis just showed up on a special teams tackle. Gosh...do you think they are overdoing it with the pale-face here?

[whiteathlete33]

Austin Collie has his first regular season NFL reception for 5 yards. Jacob Tamme could be a star on a number of teams.

 

[backrow]

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.

 

[backrow]

Jeremy Shockey is up to 2 TDs already!

 

[Don Wassall]

Another week of drop after drop by the world's greatest athletes. And maybe the worst alligator arms I've ever seen by Chad Johnson ona deflected pass that he started to go after but abruptly stopped when he saw a Denver defender also going for it. It ended up being intercepted and the kindly Caste announcers never mentioned "Ocho Cinco's" decided lack of toughness on the play.

 

[Leonardfan]

Jon McGraw recovered a blocked punt and returned it for a td

 

[Don Wassall]

Reggie Wayne just beat a black Jax CB and a black safety on a long TD catch. Sean Considine tried to come over at the end of the play but was too late. Of course he was solely blamed, replete with the lingering camera shots the networks love to show of the league's few white defensive players in negative situations. Earlier he could have had a pick but dropped it. Already widely despised for not making every single play while with the Eagles, look for Considine to be demoted by Del Rio.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Moreno is hurt again. Surprise surprise!

 

[celticdb15]

Moreno got rocked, hopefully Peyton can benefit form this.

 

[dwid]

Heath Evans had a nice reception for 8 yards, basically like an extended hand off, showed some nice agility.

Someone mentioned that the Saints should get Danny Woodhead , replace Bush. That sounds like a good idea. Bush has looked terrible, fumbled 2 kick off returns, stuffed when running and hasnt done much as a receiver out of the backfield yet (which was what he was good at).

Woodhead would be perfect for Sean Payton's offense. In a perfect world, Heath Evans could be the powerback and Woodhead be the change of pace runner/receiver out of the backfield, but Bell hasnt looked bad after getting his 3rd or 4th chance to prove himself, this is after getting fat, bouncing around teams refusing to play fullback. If Heath Evans didnt have that skin disorder, he could be in the same position and I think he would be doing much better than what Mike Bell is doing.

 

[backrow]

f**k Moreno, McDaniels is an idiot. i want him to get canned after 3 or 4 games...

 

[celticdb15]

f**k Moreno, McDaniels is an idiot. i want him to get canned after 3 or 4 games...

I am with you on that one!!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Curtis has 2 receptions for 26 yards and Brent Celek has 3 for 21. They are the Eagles two leading receivers so far. Mcdrab has been terrible.

 

[Cassiodorus]

Come on, guys, Know-Show is averaging over 2 yards per carry--could Hillis really top that?

 

[whiteathlete33]

What is going on with Walter and Furrey? No receptions for either so far.

 

[Don Wassall]

Walter is inactive with a hamstring injury. Texans offense has been dreadful so far.Edited by: Don Wassall

 

[Don Wassall]

McNabb injured and out of Philly-Carolina game. Kolb currently playing.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Maybe Kolb will be able to get Celek and Curtis the ball.

 

[celticdb15]

Hillis finally had a nice lil grab showing some agility by making the first tackler miss and picking up 6 yards. Of course back to the sideline dutyafter that solid gain.

 

[dwid]

Heath Evans with about a 11 yard reception on 1st and 10. I think he has matched Reggie Bush's receiving yards hehe. Im glad Evans is in this offense with Drew, the Saints can try to limit his carries to 0 but Drew will throw to whoever is open.
