The last pre-season game is probably THE most useless game to base things on, since teams are trying to keep their projected starters (who they pretty much know by then) healthy and just seeing who among the rest should stick. That being said, Vick hasn't played much, and that will surely carry over into the regular season.
-
So the inference is that his play-action passing was what led them to the SB? WEll his stats were as good, if not better, in 1997, when he had Curtis Martin. See you need a running game to be able to sell the play-action.

In '96 under Parcells, The Drewfather made it his mission to become a good play-action passer. He was terrific at it that one year, leading the Pats to SB 31. He never put the time or effort in on it again, which was too bad - he made himself a good play-action passer when he worked at it.
Laziness - or more accurately, doing the bare minimum - has always been DB's downfall. With Wyche riding him, perhaps that's the prescription to get him back to his previous level of established mediocrity.
(Sorry - couldn't resist!)
So Drew was a good play-action passer back in 1996 (and 1997 I'd suspect), but not AFTER that? Hmmm, wonder why THAT is? Oh wait a minute, it's because it's ALWAYS DREW'S FAULT. Sorry, the excuse generator went on the fritz there for a minute.

Come now! Drew has had AMAZING coaches before who couldn't do a thing with him. What makes you think a bum like Wyche could help him? :sarcasm:

The difference between you and me kangaroo is that I actually watch the games, understand the game of football, and contirbute to this board. There is nothing "fluffed" about my post above. I post just the facts. If you actually watched the games or knew WTF you were looking at you might understand that situationally, the running game was a success and forced the lions in tight and allowed for a play action passing game. I know it's poular to be negative about everything these days but I dont jive with that stevestojan and I never will. Please refrain from posting on my threads in the future asswipe.
Don't worry 34-78-83. "Guesteroo" sounds like a Patsy fan who only knows how to read box scores but lacks the underlying understanding of the various elements about the game of football. You know, the ones who will likely respond to this post.

They definitely won't keep 4 RB's, unless you're including FB in there. I still think they keep just 1 FB (although I don't know if it will be Shelton or Lawton since I don't think Shelton has really distinguished himself) and use Neufeld as a backup FB if need be.
-
Well, that saves $1M against the cap. Too bad, assuming he DOES get cut.
-
I read that McNally was pushing hard to get Smith, so the real credit goes to him. Guy had a pretty quiet off-season. And I'd call Smith a "street" FA, which is as good as an undrafted rookie FA (better actually since he's not a rookie), because it didn't cost a draft pick or lots of money.
-
I was LMAO at all the people wanting to dump Adams just based on pre-season. Like I said, these guys KNOW what they can do, are older, and don't want to get injured. It's not a concern until it PROVES to be a concern.
-
The O-line will only get better as they jell. And Willis isn't a full speed yet. Probably sometime near mid-season or thereafter, just in time for the SB run.
-
That's what a real ST's coach can do, as well as being healthy.
-
They were handling them last week, and doing a poor job. I assume they're doing better this week. Good from a team standpoint in that they can save a roster spot, and also I'm sure Dorenbos will catch-on somewhere. He's a good kid who's had a rough life.

If not, good. A successful pre-season game.
-
The run defense sucked last year in pre-season, if anyone remembers, and even if you don't, I'm sure you'll remember those calling for Sam's head because he looked like he didn't care (and he didn't). Run defense won't be a problem come the real season, and I'm sure you'd be pissed if Sam or Pat got injured trying to stop the Lions' amazing running attack.
-
OKay, time to yank the starters! Until they do, pray to Apollo, people.

The wife, boys (age 3-1/2 and 2) and I, along with the in-laws, were supposed to fly down to Orlando this Saturday for a trip we've (read: the wife, although I like it as well but not to the same extent she does) planning for over 2 months now. Well we can cancel our Disney lodging and get a full refund, but US Airheads said that we have to fly within 7 days from this Saturday, paying the difference of course. Any suggestions where we can all go last minute?
-
They should PUP Losman and keep Brown and Matthews on the active roster. By the time Losman is ready to return, Brown will have returned and Matthews can be waived.

If I were Kobe, I'd say my desires were to live life with my kid and wife and my Mom and Dad, and to win championships playing basketball as this game brings me lots of dollars so i can enjoy life with my family.
If I have to make a financial payoff to end my relationship and time spent on folks in Colorado and their legal system I'd easily do this. In fact, I would view "sticking to my guns" as you put it as another act of selfishness and satisfying my needs over the needs of my family when doing this was what got me in trouble in the first place.
I think one of the problems with our society is that people take actions to satisfy their own needs first whether they views their needs as a sexual romp in CO or "sticking to their guns".
Bryant admitted to making a mistake. He'll have to live with his indiscretion for the rest of his life. However not paying money to a woman who wasn't raped is not being "selfish," and actually paying her millions to dismiss the suit just to make it easier on Bryant would be more selfish than trying to clear his name through the civil suit. I have no particular like for Bryant, but I don't think he's a criminal and should have to pay.
-
Yep, Bledsoe sucked last game, going (truly since 2 of his incompletions were spikes to stop the clock) 11 for 17 for 117 yards, despite having NO blindside protection thanks to Sullivan's piss-poor play. But other than that, I can see it's ALL DREW'S FAULT.
-
I agree with JfH. It's basically an "apology" saying "I didn't rape you and sorry you feel that I did, but I didn't." And as for "slandering the woman," she did that all on her own with her sexual history, especially having sex AFTER allegedly being raped. She has no one else to blame but herself for Bryant getting-off (so to speak), even if he DID rape her.
-
I don't know if I'd write Pucillo off so quickly. As much as his play has pained me to watch, and unless some better prospect comes along, he's still worth developing.
