STLBILLS15

I played and started QB at a D2 school from 05-09. Had an invite from the argos after graduation.

Harrison reads o-lineman better than anyone I've seen on tape in recent years. Check the tape. The guy is going to go be good.

Was listening to a sports station in orlando the other day and they had Brian Urlacher as their guest. One of the questions was how was it was in the locker room with Cutler. Urlacher replied that Jay never talked to anyone on the team and was always to himself. Classified Jay as "different" than anyone else he's met personality wise. He added during the interview that Cutler wasn't ever involved with team togetherness activities, etc. Not a guy I'd want to be on my team.

My guess, They wanted to keep the ball out of Patterson's hands. Dangerous returner who could take it to the house on any return.

A lot of more athletic high school teams run this as well , and run cover 0, quarters, or thirds behind it. It's a tough theory to hope "our guys get there before the QB throws the ball" situation. But i agree, It's really not a fit in an NFL defense.

Same here. We usually meet at a place called BFE's in Ocala to watch the games.

Are you talking about an over/under front with a stand up LB playing? Or a three man T,N,T front with 2 stand up guys or ends? With all the pressure you would try to apply on the QB, you could expect a lot more 0 coverage.

And this is why I don't post much. Thanks for your insight.

+1. I don't see Freddy as a "me" kind of guy. He's always team first. If Nix said his contract will get done, I don't think Freddy has any doubt. He is a football player that any coach would dream of having on their team.

Pretty sure i heard during the draft that he was converted from either SS or FS (4.4 speed). They called him a one trick pony. He has no inside moves, and always rushes outside.

Nickel, youre 100% correct, but I was just responding to the comment presented. But back to the original post, I've seen Coples going in the top 10, so I'm gonna go with him.

E. Smith W. Payton E. Dickerson I think these guys were pretty good first round RB's.

This argument holds no water. Last year was the only year Peterson rushed for under 1200 yards. Johnson never under 1,000. Richardson is going to be a good player, and you can't just base it off off "potential" injuries.

Cleveland game.

Believe it or not, in Don's basement he has a picture of this moment blown up on his wall.

But FWIW, the articles are a good read.

Very well put. Although I believe there should be more guidelines on the extended use of these drugs given to the players from the team doctors. I know there is a ton of pressure put on the doctors from the owners, so the NFl as a league should step in and mandate perscription use. Example: I know you're not "supposed" to recieve more than one cortizone shot for one area (because of excessive damage to the tissue), but who knows how many these guys really get, and shortening their careers by doing so.

http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/33304/barwin-expecting-mario-williams-back Who knows what happens with Mario Williams since Conner Barwin had a huge year. Maybe the Texans think Barwin will be the better option because of his contract status while not losing a whole lot at the DE/OLB position. Mario's status: Barwin may have helped make the Texans think Mario Williams, who is heading towards free agency, is expendable. With Barwin and Brooks Reed at outside linebacker since a torn chest muscle ended Williams' season, the team has gotten great production. Williams’ franchise tag would cost more than $16 million, which is salary-cap prohibitive. The Texans are going to have to sign him or let him walk. Guess which one Barwin is hoping for? “I just don’t think that’s going to happen,” he said of the possibility of Williams leaving. “I’m pretty sure. He had five sacks in the first five games, so who knows what his production would have been. In Wade Phillips’ system in this defense you need three outside backers to rotate and me and Brooks have been pretty much playing every single snap. That can wear you down a little bit. We’d love Mario back so that we could get a little bit of a rotation going and hopefully all play better.” AWOL sacks: While he finished the regular season with 11.5 sacks, it could have been 13.5. (We thought he lost three sacks as we talked, but ESPN Stats and Info says it was only two.) “I’m so happy you noticed those ...” Barwin said. “Nobody else has ever noticed that.” Each of the lost sacks were turned back because of penalties, though of course we must consider that the penalty could have given him the time to make the play. Week 4 against Pittsburgh Barwin to Ben Roethlisberger but Brice McCain erased it with an illegal contact call. And Week 13 against Atlanta, Barwin got Matt Ryan but lost the play because of defensive holding against McCain.

Tebow also played much better competition Bama LSU Auburn Georgia And in General the rest of the SEC, which has been the best BCS conference in the past 6 years. Harnish Played: 9/10 @Kansas L 3 9/17 Wisconsin L 49-7 9/24 Cal Poly W 47-30 10/1 @Central Michigan L 48-41 10/8 Kent State W 40-10 10/15 Western Michigan W 51-22 10/22 @Buffalo W 31-30 11/1 @Toledo W 63-60 11/8 @Bowling Green W 45-14 11/15 Ball State W 41-38 11/25 Eastern Michigan W 18-12 12/2 Ohio Looks to me the only real great team he faced was Wisconsin. Keep in mind those stats are only for their senior seasons. If we go Best season vs. best season it looks like this Tebow in 2007 - 3,286 Yards 32 Td's,6 INT's 67% completion % (172.5 QBR) 895 rushing yards and 23 Tds Harnish in 2011- (with the stats listed in previous post) 61.7% 28td's 6ints All for a 155.0 QBR Granted Tebow played with guys like Harvin, but he played against guys like Dareus. According to the correlation, he may be worth that late round flyer pickor brought in as an UDFA.

Pierre would be a great pickup IMO. He's only 6'0. But he plays with a ton of heart, and can be a 100 yard per game kind of guy. This year with a shaky QB situation he had 947 yards on 70 grabs, that is over 13 YPC. Most of all he's a Ralph "High Character" guy. I've met Pierre when he was still in college (recruiting trip to Mount Union) and he was just an all around nice guy. He's also done a lot for Haiti. I'd love to see the guy in a Bills uniform. Just my 2 cents.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Norv-Turner-reportedly-to-be-fired-as-San-Diego-Chargers-coach-123111 Chargers head coach Norv Turner will be fired sometime next week, meaning Sunday's game in Oakland will be his last with the team, the San Diego Union Tribune reported Saturday. "There reaches a point of no return," a person in the Chargers' organization said. The ax will fall despite Turner's reign at the Chargers being as successful as any of the team's previous coaches. He will enter Sunday's game with a 48-31 win-loss record — the second best regular-season winning percentage of any Chargers head coach. If the team beats the Raiders on Sunday, and his postseason record is added to the equation, Turner will top the list of Chargers coaches. Turner's dismissal will not be unexpected, with the coach being told in November that he quickly needed positive results to save his job. Four more defeats that month left San Diego fourth in the AFC West standings. They have since climbed to third, one game ahead of Kansas City. But the firing is not likely to be well supported by Chargers players. "It's really a shame . . ." quarterback Philip Rivers told the Union Tribune. "It hasn't been great [the past two seasons], but he's the winningest coach in the history of this place.

Hard to believe no one has given a shot to Banta-Cain.

Time to start putting his Stanford degree to some use.

It will be interesting to see what Batten can do with full-game reps. Unfortunately i didn't catch many of the preseason games to see him play.

Freddie has been my #1 guy all year. He's puting up solid pts. I've also got Stevie J, and Chandler on my roster after drafting Chris Cooley for my TE slot. I also just picked up Nelson for my W/T slot on yahoo.
