  1. Old school play...used to be used to get a team to jump offsides...I think it's the muddle huddle, but I could be wrong. VERY easy for the refs to see a defense jump when the line doesn't move. Nice variant on it though! Holy cow...

    Rich Rodriguez gets the most out of his talent. Real good coach. Glad he didn't end up at Bama. It would have probably ruined his career.

  2. Yep...that's always a contentious thing.

     

    To the penalties themselves...the difference in weight and strength of today's defenders compared to quarterbacks is far greater than years past - and, today's qb contracts are so very large. Had Palmer not came back, the B'gals would have had to shell out 29 million. I imagine Peyton Manning and some others would be in that ballpark, too.

     

    Such losses would seriously wound a franchise. So for the $$$ aspect, and I suppose for the survival of starting qbs and therefore competitiveness, the penalties exist.

    I would much rather watch Brett Farve than Aaron Rodgers. That's why the penalty is called so much. Fans want to see the best out there. Owners want to protect their pockets.

  3. Food for thought: Champ Bailey signed a 7 year deal with Washington worth $63 million dollars with a $18 million dollar bonus.

     

    Nate Clements seems to believe that he's the best CB in the NFL, even better than Bailey. Now I think we can all agree that he's got quite an overinflated ego. He's a good to very good CB, but he's no Champ Bailey.

     

    Nevertheless, he's said he deserves "Champ Bailey money". That being said, would anyone here really be cool with giving him that much? I wouldn't.

     

    If I was Levy, I would go no higher than: 6 Yrs./$42 Million, $14 Million Bonus

    With the increase of cap space for all teams it will be hard to get Nate to agree to 6/42/14. I would say it would take 5/50/14 to get it done. Maybe more if Synder gets involved. 64 for a CB is steep. We will see.

  4. Uhm, no Blalock?

     

    Long time lurker just got aroud to posting.

     

    I think Branch is the best DT in the draft. It would require us to move up to get him. If DT is the thinking of the organization and we stay where we are projected Blaylock and Okaye will have to be considered. If Nate leaves that leaves a big hole to fill and they may have to go after the CB from Pitt.
