Yes, the College All-Star game pitted the NFL league champion vs a team of college allstar seniors. The last game was played in 1976.

Maybe he signed to the practice squad.

Make that 11 DBs 6 CBs: McGee, Florence, McKelvin, D.Harris, Youboty, Corner 5 Ss: Whitner, Byrd, Wilson, Scott, C.Harris

And 6 are CBs with 5 safeties. Those are Jauron type DB numbers.

Steve Johnson may have justified his starting position in practices but he didn't do much of anything in these games.

How can you call 6-10 a "great season"?? I wouldn't even call it a good season. Another way of putting it would be " 6-10 would not be a horrible season".

I agree with you. A lot of the rushing yards given up last year were on big plays (Ex: Thomas Jones) or when the Defense was on the field for most of the game (Saints' Pierre Thomas in 4th qtr). During this preseason, the starting defense has been giving up a lot of 15 to 20 yard runs. They seem worse vs the run.

So, when someone asks Chan what he thinks of Ham's play, he can respond with "As a center, he's an excellent golfer."

I agree with you. Take the ball. If you're playing on the road and you can go down and score on the 1st drive, you take the crowd out of it some. Conversely, if you're at home you can really have the advantage by scoring 1st as you're crowd is in to it and the opponent is down before having had the ball.

Wow!! Shows how long it's been since the Bills last trip with the "Where would you watch it?" Or this board has changed and there aren't many members left from the 4 straight trips.

Center has to make line calls. Maybe they don't want to put that on Wood yet.

Thanks for all the input.

He said it was "David" Nelson with Lynch. (You know, Ozzie's kid). "Shawn" Nelson is the suspended player.

Gotta like a quick healer and/or someone willing to play with pain to get back on the field. He's another, like Chad Jackson, Donald Jones & Naaman, that just looks like they know what they're doing vs Hardy.

I'm flying in at 12:05 AM next week so I don't want to bother my family that late. I was thinking of staying somewhere near airport. Any suggestions of a reasonably priced place that's decent?? I stayed at the Hampton Suites on Dick Rd once before but several years ago.

Byrd may not be ready for opener. Do you keep Cary Harris as a 5th safety or just go with 4, meaning only 3 for 1st game?? Fred Jackson & Lynch may both out for opener. Do you keep just Spiller & Bell or Chad Simpson also?? At least at WR, you have Evans, S.Johnson, Parrish, Chad Jackson & several others healthy. I think Hardy gets waived injured or put on IR. Wang is injured. Do you keep him on the active roster?? Now Nelson suspended. Do you keep only 2 other TEs for 4 weeks?? One solution is that whoever loses out on #2 QB (Fitz??) gets waived along with Brown, who goes to practice squad, and you go with 2 QBs until some of the injured starters return. Without the injuries, a 53 man roster could be like: QBs- 3 RBs- 5 WRs- 6 TEs- 3 OL- 10 Offense Subtotal of 27 Def Line- 6 LBs- 8 DBs- 8 (4 CBs, 4 S) Defense Subtotal of 22 Roster Subtotal of 49 K- 1 Punter- 1 LS- 1 Total of 52 so 1 more somewhere. Maybe D-Line or LB.

Are you talking about the Fouts TD pass in the last minute??

But if you need some rooms painted... Doh!! Sorry, I just had to do it.

Living in Northern California for the past 30 years, I've experienced "The 49er Way". In the Walsh/DeBartolo era they played to win every game, including preseason. The reasoning was to maintain a winning attitude where nothing less was acceptable. For the 80's & 90's nobody won more.

I usually save and rewatch the games also but after that debacle I deleted it immediately after it ended.

Yeah, my last boss' 11 year old son collapsed at their 1st football practice of the year and didn't survive. He had an undetected heart defect.

LOL!! Beat me to it, although I wasn't sure how it would be received.

It would be nice if he had a game close to what Sage Rosenfels had vs St Louis last week or maybe Jim Sorgi vs the Jets this past Monday or Grossman vs the Bills.

I remember there was some discussion a few years ago (which I thought was humor) of Ralph driving Mike Sherman to the airport in his Taurus after his interview.

This is what I was thinking of. Must be at least a 2.5 HR ride from OP. Snore.
