Unfortunately we'll probably draft a 3rd down back with that pick or some flashy punt returner. Who knows? stay tuned.

That's a team playa for you. One thing is to turn your back on your coach but your teammates?

me too.

I think the best thing I saw from Big Mike was his Yoda impersonation. Other than that what a big bust he's been.

manboobs?

I don't know about Ferguson being a bust but Ngata is the guy I'd draft if he's available when we pick. No doubt.

Not me, I think the kid has game. It would be interesting to see if the coaches don't screw things up by playing him at guard. The guy should play at center. Hopefully they bench Teague to give the Duke some playing time this year.

I think the difference lies here, Ralph is making money with a bad team, why would he change for another GM or why would there be any friction? Because is clear Wilson doesn't mind losing if he keeps making money. If there were any friction between TD and MM, I'd bet Ralph would side ways with the guy putting money in his pocket.

Bills | Losman expected to remain starter Mon, 21 Nov 2005 12:45:27 -0800 Buffalo Bills QB J.P. Losman is expected to remain the starter at quarterback for Week 12 and for the rest of the season. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl

I agree with the Brees part but unfortunately your Center should be able to contain the fat guy in front of him. Jammal Williams is a beast but Teague looked like a high school player out there.

That sir, is correct. The first TD, he first looked right, then left and fired the ball inmediatly to Lee.

I'm not worried about the yards, the key is how many attempts he'll have.

I'd like to believe that a smart GM would check all the posibilities about moving a player before going with the Tag & trade scenario. TD seems to be that kind of guy under this scenario as was evident with PP. But for this to happen you have to see what other corners will hit the FA market and how deep is the draft with CBs next year. We all saw how Henry's value went down because the RB offer last year was insane, both via FA and draft. My questions are: What other CBs hit the FA market in 2006 and how deep is the draft regarding CBs?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ron Edwards a Longhorn too?

What about Adams? I'd say keep him on the sidelines.

Jefferson did OK today, so did Eric King.

Good post.

Great post AKC. Thanks

I think the benching of Adams will be a plus and you won't see RB running wil in the secondary, maybe we will because of lack of talent but not because lack of execution. Sape, Bannan and Anderson played most of the second half last Sunday and I didn't see players out of place or overpursuiting a play because someone in the line-up wasn't doing his job. Adams while talented he does whatever he wants and that is going after the QB, what he doesn't know is that when he does that he's hanging his teammates out to dry. I think Gray's job is safe. You'll see a more disciplined defense out there.

Though it's different than the Haka the Tongans have a fight/tribal dance after each game of rugby. In fact every team from the Pacific Island have one.

Ouch!

I think the main reason and ovelooked reason as to why the OL is struggling for almost a decade by now is that lacks a true center calling the shots there. That's why I liked the Preston pick, he should get his shot next year if not this year. It all starts there and the Duke is the man for the job.

Agree Mathias Kiwanuka DE Position: DE Height: 6' 7" School: Boston College Weight: 261 lbs. General Variables: 33 out of 40 Position Variables: 30 out of 40 Size: 7 Run stopping: 7 Strength: 8 Pass rushing: 8 Speed: 9 Technique: 8 Athleticism: 9 Attitude: 7 Positives: The difference between the top 3 DEs and Mathias Kiwanuka is that Kiwanuka is a pure speed edge rusher. He has a long, lean physique, with a narrow waste, long arms, and powerful legs. Mathias has the quickest first step in the country, and although he’s not the biggest guy in the game, his speed makes him almost impossible to stop when he comes on a full out edge rush. Like most speed guys, he’s got great balance and is able to get to the edge, then turn and chase the QB down with ease. He played amazing last year at around 250 lbs. and promises to play above 260 lbs. this year, but with no loss of speed or quickness. He isn’t a great run stopper, but he’s smart and able to dissect a play and chase down most any back in the country from behind. Negatives: Kiwanuka is a one trick pony. Not that the one trick he has isn’t great, but he’s a very one dimensional player. Watching him play, you can see he relies on his speed to just get under the tackle’s outside shoulder and rush around him. In the NFL, that can only get you so far. He’s the DE that teams will want to run at, because one on one, against a big nasty LT, Kiwanuka struggles at the point of attack on run plays. Overall: I see a lot of Dwight Freeney in Kiwanuka, and since his rookie year, Freeney has shown that he can be almost completely taken out of a game with a proper scheme. Kiwanuka is going to have to get stronger, so he can develop a better group of moves to get to the QB, but also helping him fight off blockers in run support. There’s a little tiny part of me that wonders what kind of 3-4 OLB he could be. He’s certainly athletic enough, but can he drop and cover, and make plays in space? Could be an interesting experiment, and if it doesn’t work, stick him on the left side, and let him run….Oh, and put your best run stuffing OLB on his side. Games that matter: 10/23 @ Notre Dame and 11/13 @ West Virginia ― BC isn’t a great team, but these will be highly publicized matchups, where Mathias can show his skills. I am particularly excited to see Kiwanuka chasing Rasheed Marshall around and to see if he can tackle Kay-Jay Harris. Final word: ‘TWEENER ― I didn’t want to use this word, too early in my breakdown of Mathias, but watching him play, it’s the word that keeps popping back into my head. I am more inclined to believe Kiwanuka can pack on a little more weight, and stay at DE, without losing his speed, but there will be teams who scout him as an over-sized rush OLB, like Baltimore did with Terrell Suggs. Mathias Kiwanuka, 6-8, 255, Boston College He could be the top pass rusher in college football and he seems to be getting better every game. As the first Boston College sophomore to win All-Big East honors since William Green in 2000, Kiwanuka led the league in sacks with 11.5 and an additional 24 quarterback hurries on the season. It's not just his talent at getting into the backfield, it's also his imposing way he blocks field goals and passes. He's also strong at stopping the run making him a near-complete overall prospect that the NFL scouts are already drooling over. He's definitely a player worth keeping an eye on as the year goes on. There are several excellent pass rushers in college football this season, but no one has the height and room to get bigger that Kiwanuka has. At 6’ 8”, he's impossible for most quarterbacks to throw over and his wingspan allows him to reach out and grab running backs that would normally slip away from average sized players. A high school tight end and a great pass catcher to go along with his defensive duties, Kiwanuka has tremendous agility and athleticism as well. He reminds me of the old Defensive End from the Cowboy’s Doomsday Defense Days, Too Tall Jones. As a side note, Kiwa comes from royal bloodlines; he hangs a Ugandan flag in his dorm room in memory of his late grandfather, Benedicto Kiwanuka, who was elected as the country’s first prime minister in 1961 and assassinated by Idi Amin in 1972. What a talent, when he is motivated he is awesome, he finished the 2004 season with a mind boggling 24.5 tackles for a loss.

I don't think I love him , but I definately think he's a keeper.

Haggan would be perfect for a 3-4 defense as a ILB, but I don't know if he has the range and cover abilities to replace Posey. He would be London's natural back up if he were to go down.
