I agree that he should have more plays designed to emphasize his mobility. He should have ten designed carries a game. They should run him out a flexible single wing type of formation with either an extra tackle or an extra H back and open up a world of playaction, QB draw, and quick hitting passing plays that freeze the defense with the possibility of a run. The possibility for injury would increase significantly for VY, however.

L.T. is Lawrence Taylor. Tomlinson is a good back but nothing special. Like Curtis Martin on a better team? He isnt Earl Campbell, but he is better than Labrandon Toefield.

My dudes, I really hate Kornheiser. Joe Montana could throw and incompletion on the first play of the 1984 super bowl and he would say "He looked awful on that play. Do we have a quarterback controversy in san francisco?"

I dont want to see brady hurt. I think hes a cocky little @%#I, i think that the referees favored the patriots unbelievably last year, that they cheat and surely still are, and that they lost the super bowl because they realized nobody in america liked them. However, he really is a good player, and the patriots showed everyone how to play the game last year. Although in my opinion the pats cynically manipulated an nfl where a light caress of the qb or receiver draws a flag and made adjustments so uncannily well that they must have been reading the oppositions signals, they seemed to figure out a lot of nfl defenses.

For the last two years and even when he was drafted from Ohio State i was a critic of his. I thought he had as much athleticism as anyone i have seen but that his technique was almost nonexistant and especially his attention was lacking. He didnt seem to know where to line up. He looked much more comfortable today. Really our coverage was great against recievers that are pretty good at getting open. We kept it pretty simple today, but i think this year we are going to disguise coverages better in the secondary, especially if our front 6 allow us to play nickel and dime more.

Peters was a former tight end. Imagine him as a max protect fullback in passing or as part of the jumbo package on goal line or third and one. Or put him in the h back position and have him bury a DT in a tackle trap play. Any linebacker will tell you the nastiest hits they get are from the fullback. He would be intimidating. Remember, peters ran a 4.8 40 a few years ago. I realize no coach would ever do this, im just saying...

Losman doesnt appear to know which spots on a route a receiver is going to be open. For instance, on a post pattern you have to throw the ball as soon as the reciever cuts and at the knees. If you wait too long, a safety comes up and either knocks it down or tatoos your reciever. Throwing it too high you get your reciever killed and dont give him a chance to use his body to shield a defender from the ball. Losman must know this, but instead he stares the route down until he feels ready to throw. He is getting better, but usually he plays at a high school level. Edwards knows what to look for. He consistently hits recievers within a couple of steps of a cut, especially on short patterns. He knows w here the holes in the zone should be, and you can watch him look at them as he goes through his progression. Losman doess not have a progression. Edwards is accurate and delivers balls in a way his receivers can catch. This is unlike farve and losman, who throw high and hard. Neither edwards nor JP throw seams and deep patterns against zone defenses on a rail like bledsoe or farve, but both are improving. Say what you want about JP (and ill probably agree with you) but i saw an improvement in his timing of comeback, crossing routes and seams last year. Edwards is going to improve tremendously this year, but were still in for some silly mistakes, especially when he has to throw the ball deep.

Yeah, Losmans interviews are a tangle of nonsense, narcissism and blame relayed in a high pitched, nervous voice. I liked it when he said he had concerns the fans wouldnt like him because of his hispanic background. Way to call us racists, J.P. I personally dislike Losman but he seems like a nice guy who is doing his best.

well consider that the likelihood of a sneak was high in that situation. Maybe the nose guard was offset in one of the A gaps? and yeah, you can be sure that they scouted us well enough to know where our sneaks are likely to go. On a side note, we are a ridiculously easy team to scout. dont our coaches realize we give away our tendencies from the formations we line up in? When we line up with an H back, we run 26 stretch about 80% of the time. Im dumb, but i can call the play reasonably accurately about half the time.

I dont even know where canada is. My parents told me when i was little that the lights across lake erie were where the north pole is, and that if i tried to go there i wouldnt get anything for christmas. Luckily, i have never needed to go to canada because everything is expensive and the are very few people there. Besides, i dont have mukluks to walk through the muskeg and ive never built an igloo. I understand that tailgating is banned. Is this because the ice would be too thin this time of year to support the weight of so many cars? I am a really big bills fan, but i am concerned about the aggressive big game found in canada. I understand there are polar bears, moose, sea lions, wolves, wolverines and whales there. How will i defend myself against them if their perky little country ( i understand they claim not to be a state) will not allow me to carry a rifle and sidearm? I saw a commercial for labatts beer that showed pictures of canada. It looked like a hostile and intemperate land. I have seen their currency and it features wildlife and foreign monarchies. This concerns me because the geese look large and angry and because there must be no actual canadian people to put on their currency. The currency comes in pink and purple pastel so i worry it may be monopoly money or some other type of hoax perpatrated by the english monarchy, which obviously rule canadia as a puppet regime. If any of you fellow fans have made the journey before, let me know how it went and how long it took and whether any of your teams have room and outfitting for the voyage. I have sea kayaks that could get us across the lake and possibly into a navigable river before we enter the trackless wilderness of the north. Thanks guys.

I only keep the back of my pimp hand strong. Cause when you reach way back and slap the taste out of a hos mouth it hurts your wrist. always use the backhand.

Player development makes some franchises perennially successful. In the donahue era we brought in aging veterans and swapped players and coaches faster than chipmunks on meth. This is unlike the steelers, who are the model of development. They draft players with potential and value and keep them. They bring in very few veteran free agents, and they have been consistently successful. We have had more stability recently and especially last year our younger guys got plenty of time. Jauron seems to get this team to perform and have a good attitude. I disagree with our offensive and defensive philosophies, but not turning the ball over or getting penalties goes a long way. Even with play calling that must have been drawn up during an all night benedictine and cough syrup drinking session, a halfling team halved again by injuries, and brett farve wannabe losman we still managed a respectable season. It wouldnt take much to get better than last year, and we have a chance to.

I remember he said that he very much wanted to stay because he had kids in school and liked the area, and that he was upset that they didnt keep him. When asked what the motivation might have been behind his trade he said "they were stupid" Why did we get rid of williams, and why did we put a defense on the field that was undersized by 20 lbs at every position? Why did the giants run on us 13 times in a row in the fourth quarter? Why did we put our base 4-3 out there when the giants were inside the five yard line on first down and brought in three extra linemen? Pat Williams provides our answer.

I think most of those guys would have developed into successful players with a longer tenure on a well coached team with a defense and a running game. I actually feel that that list of players represents underrated talent. Joe Montana couldnt have made marty booker catch. That takes nate clements. ( in fairness to clemens his coverage was good that day when he gave up two hundred some yards in a half, but the dolphins threw and caught.)

Ive been surprised throughout his entire career that anybody thought mcnab was very good. I admit that he had streaks where his play was excellent and before he got so fat he was a real scrambling threat. But he was not consistent from year to year and toward the end of his career to date, even when healthy, has been visibly frustrated. When they do not win or are not playing well, he saunters out of the huddle and off the field and pouts like losman. T.O. was right, he got tired in the super bowl. It seemed pretty clear to everyone i watched it with at the time. When owens said that about mcnab, donovan starting calling him names. Yeah, T.O. was a loudmouth, but he should have laughed it off publicly but taken it as constructive criticism and put down the bowl of chunky soup to lose those 50 lbs or so he has gained since he came into the league at 225. When the official weight of your quarterback is 20 or 30 lbs shy of reality, that could be a hint about his fitness level. I hear a lot of silly things about how modern players who are minor stars in the league are better than all of the old players from fans and media who want them to be. But i dont think anyone here thinks peon deion or whatever his nickname is was the greatest cornerback of all time. Direct quote from sanders: "i dont think its my job to tackle." I dont think many people in this forum fall into the aforementioned category. Moon was fantastic. I dont think his supporting cast was as bad as others have suggested. The run and shoot spread the defense out and opened up a frustratingly effective singleback running game. It all worked like it was supposed to, and it still would again

Different driving laws cannot account for the behavior of canadian drivers. When i see ontario plates i literally give them a very wide berth. I dont suddenly become an awful driver in canada, different but-not-specified laws aside. I go to canada to buy tylenol 2 with codeine. Each time i am there i eat at the same sleepy fast food restaurant, and the employees or patrons feel the need to saddle up to me and tell me their life stories. Opening up to bored looking strangers must be a foreign custom in canada that i am unaware of. There are raptors in toronto. I have prepared a raptor defense kit with a throwing net, pepper spray and bandages, but even though i am an organ donor i would rather have them donated to a bald kid than have them used to feed these awful lizards. I will not go to canada because it just isnt safe until the weather starts to turn in the fall. oh, yeah, and go bills!

Yeah its the latest thing to ruin my life. first it was the vain pursuit of athletics, then speedballs and finance, and now popping people with an m-16 and claymore mining them. Except i nreal life the claymore is way, way deadlier. M18A1 Claymore - Command-Detonated Mine - US - The M18A1 Claymore is a directional fragmentation mine containing 700 steel balls (10.5 grains each) backed by a 1.5 pound layer of Composition C-4. When detonated, the Claymore projects the steel balls in a fan-shaped, 60-degree horizontal arc with a maximum height of 2 meters. The lethal radius is 50 meters with a effective wounding range of 100 meters. The forward danger radius extends to 250 meters while the backblast area is unsafe 16 meters to the rear and sides of the mine. The Claymore is typically command-detonated using the M57 electrical firing device, but it can be arranged as a stand-alone booby-trap using a non-electric firing devices in conjunction with detonation cord and non-electric blasting caps. The Claymore makes a handy force-multiplier for use in ambushes and deterring enemy pursuit.
