  1. Someone decided to ask Jerry Jones what he thought (why?).  Per KFFL:

     

    "It's not something I am particularly excited about, but the expectations were that I wouldn't be excited about them," Jones said. "But I don't know if anybody cares how happy I am. Can we make it work as a league? We will see. I don't think we would have gotten to this point unless you brought a proposal to the table that could work."

     

    He's right about one thing......nobody cares how happy he is.

    Hey Mike Florio just called, he'd like his joke back.

    "Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said the one thing on which pretty much the whole world can agree -- "I don't know if anybody cares how happy I am." "

  2. But who was Fat Mike pancaking and pushing around?  Was it some 210 pound freshman from Northeastern Central Tulsa Tech and Military Academy?  If so, then who cares?  Did Fat Mike actually go against the Dwight Freeney's of the day, ever?  If so, was he pancaking them?  I have no idea.

    No the point isn't who he was pushing around - the point is the effort and intensity he demonstrated on film in college, which he simply abandoned once he became a pro. It happens - there are some guys who just don't love the game that much and are content to collect a few years of huge paychecks. Hopefully he's invested it well.

  3. I'm no expert. I just remember watching film of both McKinnie and Mike Williams (chest) prior to the draft, and I remember being struck by how Williams (chest) would just punish defenders on running plays - Williams (chest) would play past the whistle, continuing to pin down and beat the hell out of guys twenty yards downfield on running plays. By contrast, McKinnie struck me as somewhat unathletic and stiff, preferring to swallow up passrushers with his arms rather than shift his legs and weight. I remember thinking that wouldn't bode well for his play against speedrushers in the NFL, something that has proven to be true.

     

    For all of you who think McKinnie should've been "the man," consider that he's never, not once, dominated a game against an elite speed rusher. The fact is, as some here have pointed out, neither McKinnie nor Williams (chest) were deserving of a top-five pick.

     

    This thread should be entitled, "How did the Bengals outsmart everyone else and have Levi Jones at the top of their board?"

  4. Speaking of FA's..  anyone remember Eddie Robinson making Vinny Testeverde look like Mike Vick, on his way to the endzone? In a nutshell: Vinny runs left, Eddie's gonna beat him to the corner, Vinny fakes right, Eddie drops his jockstrap and falls to the ground.. Jets TD.

    That was Pennington.

  5. Cutting Mike Williams (chest) doesn't surprise me, but the TIMING of it is somewhat odd - why now? To me, it's obvious: immediate cap room is needed in order to lock up Nate long-term. Seems to me like a solid tradeoff, provided they don't overpay for Nate. I would expect an announcement within 7-10 days that Nate will be a Bill for the next 6 years.

  6. I disagree with the premise. If we had drafted Big Ben and he, unlike JP, hadn't gotten hurt during preseason 2004, I bet he would've taken over for Bledsoe after the Raiders game and we very likely would have won just as many games, including the Steelers game (against JP?). We would've been in the playoffs in 2004, which totally changes the mindset of the 2005 team.
