I sit here scouring the free agent list for a back up QB , TE and “FLEX OPTION”. Diligently examining the statistical analysis of JT O'Sullivan, Tony Scheffler and Chansi Stuckey, when suddenly it hits me – my daughter's left fist! 哈！ She caught me pretty good too right across the side of my head painfully knocking my glasses into the bridge of my nose. After I sent her upstairs sobbing from a fairly ogre like verbal lashing I realized this article had been spawned. Why DO we care so much about sports? Perhaps, like me, the rest of you are former athletes of some sort. You played sports at any cost from the minute you were old enough to swing a stick and hit a rock right up to either a realization of it having passed you by or a minor/major disappointment of some sort. At which point your passion for video games took over and you became a “gamer” or madden junky like me. Which later evolved into fantasy sports. Chances are somewhere in between there you were and maybe still are a beer league softball player or even a flag football coach or an assistant on the local varsity squad. At any rate even if it is just watching your favorite team on television every night for some reason we all care a great deal about sports. Even as I sit here writing this I must have some form of sports entertainment channel siphoning in on the television. 但为什么？ It really makes no major difference in our lives does it? Sure it feels good to root for a winner. It is nice to see your team win. Even better to see them win a championship. But do they care as much about you? They would not play for free I guarantee you that. None of us would work for free, would we? Although the satisfaction you get from the feeling of accomplishment after actually playing and practicing and earning a win is second to none. Now if you are out there playing and having fun regardless of the outcome and enjoying getting some physical release then good for you. You are way ahead of the rest. Yet there are still those of us who throw a bat in disgust when making an out in softball. I mean the ball is the size of a grapefruit and is practically put on tee for us it comes in so slow. We are the same ones who throw the “joy stick” down and hit the reset button when our life expires or digitally enhanced QB throws an interception. We were the same ones who broke a broom stick in half wrapping it around a pole after striking out in a stick ball game in the 5th grade. Hopefully we have all outgrown that stage or at least recognize that at some point that behavior is just plain silly even unnecessary. Well, however it was you came upon this I just hope you can keep it all in front of you. 好好享受。 Have fun with it. Play to win but keep what is important in the foreground. Okay I have to go now and apologize to my daughter and teach her how to sneak an elbow in underneath the basket when boxing out.
ps I picked up Tony Scheffler and dropped Todd Heap.
It might be time to say goodbye to Todd Heap as a Starting Fantasy TE.
I said it from day one, that Justin Tuck has more ability then the media wanted to give him credit for.
贾斯汀塔克
Gee whiz, look at all the ESPN columnists and SportsCenter announcers now say they all love “Justin Tuck” and portraying him as the next coming of Christ for the New York Defensive line. They said without Strahan and Osi that the Giants Justin Tuck could not fill “hole in the Giants Defense” and therefore defensively the Gmen would struggle. This is like political nonsense almost. When you are wrong you are wrong, the Giants D is looking pretty solid. I even saw some Cowboy fan say on a blog that “Tuck is no strahan, and without Osi they probobly will loose all but two games this year”. 哇！ I thought to myself, “what an idiot”. Regardless, I know when to say, “Hey I was right” and “You were wrong”. I would just like to also mention when a DE intercepts a pass and runs it back for a TD, that player is something special. The Big Blue D will have bad games this year, so please don't think they are flawless.They, however, will be one of the top 8 units in the NFL, I promise. So if you need a DST or Defense for your fantasy team try to get JUSTIN TUCK and his Big Blue Crew, cause they will be a top team in Sacks and Interceptions this year regardless of their tough schedule.
Be on the watch for LB Gerris Wilkinson he has alot of potential and will definitely look great this year.
Lots of teams start off 2-0 and then don't end up virtually doing crap the rest of the season. Take the 49ers from last year for instance; they began last season a promising 2-0, and then proceeded to, dare I say, “rip” off eight great losses thereafter before finishing their season 4-12. So let's find out who this year's 2-0's are last year's 49ers, and who looks to get it goin to 3-0 when all is said and done this coming Sunday.
The first team on the docket is the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals. They are coming off a convincing
休斯敦是美国田纳西州2-0本周末。火箭已经打了一场比赛，而失去。田纳西州已经打了两场比赛，并赢得了他们两个。Although Tennessee and Houston are both looking to improve from promise they showed last year, the Titans showed higher promise finishing 10-6 and making the playoffs, while the Texans finished 8-8. This game could be close because of the obvious division rivalry, but I give the edge to the Titans who will remain unbeaten.
Carolina has been pulling off last minute victories the past two weeks like it's their damn job. They're becoming the “Cardiac Cats” of their 2003 Super Bowl run once again. This weekend they play against the Vikings in Minnesota. Although you shouldn't overlook the Vikings (if you're a smart football enthusiast) because of their hard-fought losses versus Green Bay in week one and Indianapolis last week, I still gotta go with the Panthers experience and return of Steve Smith. They are on the road, but aside from getting to Minnesota, they'll get to 3-0 as well. What a sweet destination that is!
The Buffalo Bills are 2-0 as well and have the privilege of facing the Oakland Raiders at home this weekend. The Raiders actually looked like a little like a football team last week in smashing the Chiefs 23-8. But… Jamarcus Russell was a dismal 6 for 17 passing with only 55 yards. The Bills have improved enough to where a loss to the Raiders this weekend would look to be an upset. Bills go to 3-0.
On Sunday Sept 14th Justin Fargas was injured in the second qtr of the Oakland vs Kansas City game. They said he had a pulled groin injury, however we at SportsRoids believe he was viciously assaulted by Pat Thomas. SportsRoids, believes that Justin is a victim of a horrific crime. Justin Fargas's genitals public execution has not only effected his pay, but his starting position. He should be paid back the losses not only from the league but also by Pat Thomas. Fines must be handed out. SportsRoid's wishes to have a moment of silence during the next Raiders match up commemorating the player that was.
Tommy Kelly has been arrested for DUI after the Raiders first win of the season. Things just can't get any better for the Raiders, with the Coaching controversy as well as the Injury to Justin Fargas. Now their 50.5 Million dollar Defensive Lineman is in Jail. The Raiders organization just can't get a brake. Either way this is just another example that someone else (—NOT–AL DAVIS—) should be behind the Wheel of this organization.
Tommy Kelly, the highest paid DT ever in NFL history, is in Jail on DUI charges
Well In a shootout the dazzled and bewildered all that watched the Cowboys beat the Eagles. These were high powered offenses that torched their opposing defenses all game save for the mistakes.
The Eagles came up short against the Cowboys on Monday night football losing 41-37
Westbrook loses the game with a fumble on what would have been a scoring drive. Romo keeps the Eagles in the game with a fumble in the ends zone that leads to a touchdown. But if you look at this impressive performance, from a different perspective it is not that impressive. They have both systematically shown how to exploit each others defenses “IN WEEK 2”. Teams now have a blue print for the rest of the year on what works against these defenses, they have been exposed and I mean full nudity. Now they are still very good defenses but , the Eagles are going to have a lot of trouble next week and so are the Cowboys. When a defense gets torched like both did last night other teams take note. If I am going against the Cowboys I know that if my Quarterback can scramble people will be open, and if it's the eagles I know a little speed and time will make them eat their own blitzes. So what does this mean it means that each team is going to have a very tough time all year from now on. Which means that things are going to turn out how I thought in the NFC East, with Eagles winning the division Cowboys second and Giants coming in third.
Dear Laveranues, Brett Favre is a better quarterback than Chad Pennington. It took Randy
Laveranues Coles turns his back on Jets fans, when he asks for more $$$ and does not produce.
Moss one quarter to prove he was still Randy Moss last year when opening the season against the Jets. The Patriots went from “contenders” to outright “favorites” after that game because Randy Moss went out and caught the damn ball. He did not cry and whine or beg or plead or offer any built in excuses about playing with a new QB or being in a new system. In fact neither did Wes Welker. They had no problem going out every down, running their routes, catching the ball or even making blocks down field. Now why should it be any different for you? You went out and made a big deal about your contract for a second time now with the Jets and you have not produced. You have not proved that you are the go to guy for any one of your QB's. Tony Romo went out and won the job because he could find TO no problem any time any place. Everything else fell into place for him after establishing that. You do not offer that to your QB. Not Brett, Kellen,Chad,Patrick Ramsey, Mark Brunell or Vinny. If they cannot count on you to be there on every down why do you deserve number 1 money? What do you offer any team as a number 1? At best even with a HOF as your QB you were still at best a BYE week replacement fantasy WR. So far through two game you have not done anything to prove otherwise. Chansi Stuckey is outplaying you. Is he better than you?不！No? Well he sure is playing like it and he is playing with more desire than you and it shows.不
Laveranues Coles snickers at media.
to mention he's got no problem catching passes from a guy who never threw a pass his way before a few weeks ago. If you cannot get excited about playing every week with Brett Favre then what are you doing here? We anxiously await your answer or your departure, which ever comes cheaper!
While it is still too early to tell which teams will remain consistent in the league it must fell good for the Colts to be able to rely on Mr. Consistent Peyton Manning. Is it me? or does this guy will his way to wins. In the face of a 15-0 deficit and a none existent running game; he pulls off the comeback helping the team score 18 straight to win the game. Subscribing to my “you have to score at least 15 points to beat the Colts rule” I thought that they would lose this game against the Vikings. But again Peyton finds a way to out score you; if you score 14 he gets 15, if you get 15 he gets 18, if you get 35 he gets 36. I mean you can't beat this guy he is unstoppable. A field general to say the least when the game is on the line he always finds a way to pick apart the Defense, it really doesn't make any sense! Because at the beginning of the game he sucked, and then BAM he goes out and wins the game. It's like he knows what the defense is going to do before they do, and then before the snap he makes adjustments “TO THE FUTURE!!!” amazing.
Today in the NFL, we saw four 4th quarter comebacks performances. This made for amazing football Sunday. The Redskins, Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills all surpassed their opposition in the final quarter of their respective games.
1. Redskins vs. Saints-
Going into the 4th quarter the skins trailed 15 – 24. They were trailing until Santana Moss beat whipped Tracy Porter for 67 Yards for the game winning late TD. Drew Brees had a chance to stage a comeback yet, he through a INT.
Defense Wins Championships or Great Quarterbacking?
One of the longest standing arguments in today's NFL has been the viewpoint that it takes a strong defense to become a champion. Over the past few years teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers have been able to remain in at least competitive contention, if not championship contention, due to their outstandingly consistent play on defense. However, in this writer's eyes, the most important factor in helping a team turn the corner from respectability to prominence has been the position of quarterback.
Well you may be thinking, “hey Sportsroids, how come you don't have an article on steroids?”. Well here it is. Steroids is a touchy subject to try a just to bring it up to someone who has used them before. A close source of mine who deals with many NFL players said that they feel over %30 of players in the NFL are using some type of illegal performance enhancing drugs not necessarily steroids. I find this number to be high but my question is why. I feel that steroids users are cheaters, I mean any one can get an A on the test if the answers are right in front of them. 对？ The whole entire fun of watching sports is partly in knowing that you yourself could never do the things most of these guys can. So when you add steroids to the mix you lose that. Hell if used roids I'd probably be in the NFL right now running a 4.4 forty at 250 pounds but why put my body through that. If I can't do it through hard work alone I don't' want to do it, and my friends that is the American way. Every time someone brings up roids I think of the movie “The Program” where Vlatamire gets caught using roids, and the black linebacker is like “what the hell you using that stuff for” and he is like “Come on man some people just aren't as talented like you are man I just want to play” or something like that anyway. I always thought that was funny, how pathetic.
So my question to you is how do you feel about Roids my friends, not Sportsroids we all know you love us, but steroids, let me know.
This is a matchup that intrigues me deeply. Both the Bears and the Panthers pulled of rather huge week one upsets against Super Bowl contenders while playing on the road. The Bears did it with their usual run-oriented, turnover free passing offense, and ball-hawking defense that brought them success back when they reached the Super Bowl. The Panthers on the other hand blew a nine point lead in the fourth quarter, and still managed to come back and win in the last second of the game.
So, in conclusion, the Bears should be the favorite to win, as they played well throughout their entire game, and the Panthers blundered, but managed to eke out a win in literally the waning seconds of their game. As long as the Bears can prevent the big play as they did against the Colts, and not falter anywhere down the stretch, they should come out on top. However, regardless of coming out the victor in this week's matchup, the winner must display a continued consistency in what they do to earn the respect of NFL fans, columnists, and analysts alike, even if one should remain undefeated.
With numbers like these, both quarterbacks proved that efficiency can be deadly, even if they didn't accomplish 200+ passing yards in their games. Some of the most effective quarterbacks are those that allow the game to come to them without forcing the issue. If a quarterback keeps to his mechanics at the outset of each play, and lets his natural ability come second, the law of averages is going to have to allow a big-play opportunity to develop here and there, just as much as the law of averages will tend to allow a smart, short-yardage pass or chance for a decent gainer on ground to develop.
With that being said, this weekend I would start Aaron Rodgers since he's going against a weak defense in the Detroit lions. The Vikings have been constantly hyped up as a potential stout, havoc-wreaking defense for the 2008 NFL season, and Aaron Rodgers obviously didn't think so. As for Big Ben, he too could have a big night, but I see some potential troubled waters as the Browns could end up having a big day defensively after their practical no-show against Dallas this past Sunday. Add that to the fact that they're on live television this Sunday night at home, I would have to plead that Rodgers is the safest bet.
Colston just doesn't get it done as a fantasy #1 WR
I swear he can have 200 yard games, but sometimes he just doesn't even show up. 让我给你来证明我的观点的例子。在科尔斯顿的职业生涯中，他从来没有击败了一支具有高于平均水平的辅助。只是举例，每当他先后效力老鹰，他做什么特别。 In 2007, he only had 3 catches for 16 yards with his long being a 11 yard run. Ok, still not satisfied? 2006年，他曾4渔获物40码处头球TD，不是一个糟糕的一天，但肯定不是你从顶部幻想选秀权WR期待。 So the eagles may be his kryptonite right? 不，我会说他的大弱点是对阵在NFC东部任何一支球队。科尔斯顿的最佳表现，我只是陈述一个（40码和1 TD）对任何NFC东部球队。你不能成为一个顶级联赛接收器，如果NFL的整个事业部已在我的书你的电话号码。
另统计，这证明他是不相符的游戏游戏，是在2007年，他曾6场比赛不到50码。好吧，我完全承认，听起来并不那么糟糕，但是当你意识到在接收码联赛男子8日它。 He had over 4 games with 100+ yards. 幻想明智的，在大多数联赛每周输赢都是这个问题。是的，科尔森是梦幻联赛锁，如果他们没有季后赛的系统，或者如果获胜者是由总结出整体的点来确定。大多数联赛只是不喜欢这样，因为这个原因，科尔斯顿是坏的开始，因为他不可靠的统计数据。你不知道他什么时候会走下车，和更多的时间比不相比100+天开始精湛，他生产的数量，他将发挥分面值。 He has this pattern with his TDs as well. 科尔斯顿，Fantasywise，真正统计遵循的座右铭，“去大或回家”，这是你的想法＃1不能有过一个完整的赛季当然，如果你在你的梦幻联赛搞好。罗迪白谁拥有比较科尔斯顿非常相似的统计另一个接收器。 Roddy White also has the same consistency problems as Colston but Roddy is always a much later pick, WHY IS THAT? 是不是因为科尔斯顿有他的渔获量的SportCenter大亮点是什么？我只是不明白这一点。
但无论哪种方式，我怎么觉得无所谓，因为他受伤了。所以不管你的他的过去生产的概念，如果你捡到科尔斯顿今年你昏头了吧。 He is out for a minimum of six weeks, so go get Eddie Royal or Desean Jackson, cause you need somebody. 这些都是最好的两个自由球员两个星期是在那里大多数联赛。在草案中，你可能有一个镜头在安德烈·约翰逊，Plaxico布瑞斯，乍得约翰逊和所有其他球员的人，我怀疑可能科尔斯顿后被挑错，但现在你坚持了一些自由球员新秀，而我没有怜悯你。你几乎一样糟糕的白痴，谁在第二轮在我的联赛谁去一个机会，在野马RB，几年前。你知道谁是RB是吧？
Maurice Clarett (dumbest 2rd round pick I ever saw)
Matt Cassel has a lot of upside even though his last start was in High Schoo.
The final key reason for joining in the “Cassel Run” is the aging defense of the Patriots. New England's defensive unit may be slowing down as the season moves along with veterans starters at the linebacker position; Teddy Bruschi, 35, Mike Vrabel, 34, and Adalius Thomas, 31. Even in the secondary where strong safety Rodney Harrison sits at age 35, the burden may be on the defensive line in a 3-4 scheme to create pressure for the majority of the Patriots' games this season. This should create more situations where the Patriots will be forced to pass, rather than to prefer to pass like last year when going to Tom Brady was the ideal option.
My suggestion… at least don't sleep on the potential of Matt Cassel. What he lacks in game experience, he could wind up making up for in the privilege of having gotten to watch and learn from one of the greats, in Tom Brady.
Al Wilson punished defenders for eight seasons for the Denver Broncos.
I wanted to make some room on SportRoids to give a shout out for the recently announced retiree Al Wilson. For those of you unfamiliar with him, Al Wilson was the starting middle linebacker for the Denver Broncos from 1999 through 2006. Out of a possible 128 regular season games, Wilson only missed three of them, and ended up as the starter in 120.
Al Wilson will be remembered by NFL fans as one of the greatest sideline-to-sideline middle linebackers of the league, and by Broncos faithful as one of the greatest defensive player in Denver history. During eight seasons playing in the National Football League, he managed to make the pro bowl five out of eight. The greatest thing about him was that he proved his worth by being an all-around defensive player by posting stats in all the significant categories, as opposed to being a standout in one or two.
Al Wilson, great sportsman, helps up Tom Brady after sacking him.
As a pass rusher, Wilson averaged around three sacks per season for his career. As a coverage man, when he didn't get one of his five career interceptions, he averaged 6.8 pass deflections per year. As a playmaker Wilson averaged a forced fumble per season, and as a sure tackler, averaged 70 solos, 19.9 assisted, for a total of 89.9 per campaign.
Aside from his renaissance man-like statistics, Al was one of the more recognizable emotional defensive leaders of the NFL, and will undoubtedly be missed. He was only 31 years old when he suffered his inevitably career-ending injury on December 3 rd .
Mike Shanahan has seriously put a fear into the hearts of all those fantasy owners who Drafted Selvin Young for the 2008 season. On Monday Night Football it became painfully apparent that Shanahan did not intend to hand
Selvin Young looks like a great RB but will he get the touches?
the ball to Young after the 1st & 2nd carries of the game. We also saw what seemed as the emergence of RB Andre Hall who was another undrafted free agent signed by Tampa Bay in 2006. Andre played for south Florida and was a standout RB, however, he never got the a look in the draft much like Selvin Young. Nevertheless, Selvin scored a TD late in the game when he was given only 7 carries in the entire game. Regardless, are we going to see a 50-50 split? 谁知道？ Personally, I don't even think Mike Shanahan knows. Another fact life, that diminishes both these fine RBs is that Selvin and Andre won't be getting many looks in short yardage/goal-line situations. They have Micheal Pittman and rookie Ryan Torain (currently recovering from surgery) for that. Selvin or Andre ? who knows…
Selvin Young & Andre Hall practice hard in hopes of being #1.
Well Ever since Jimmy T. became the Head coach of Ohio State all he has done is win. But it seems like he has done it, at the cost of the rest of the Big Ten. Wrestling recruits away from the other teams, locking up great coaches, beating the mess out of what is supposed to be his equal…Michigan. Jimmy T. is poised to go to a third straight BCS Championship game, but it seems no one else in the Big Ten will even have a shot. 发生了什么？ The Big Ten used to be The Conference that produced the winners. But not any more. Let's face it, they are dismal at best. It is likely Jimmy T., since taking all the recruits and top coaches every year preventing the other teams from getting better, has prevented the other teams in the teams in the big 10 from getting better while his team has arguably been ranked year in and year out #1 at the beginning of the season. Oh how the mighty have fallen and after week one of College football it seems it will be at least another year before the Big Ten is back to its Old Glory.
And speaking of Glory , check this out!
Nice naked backs ladies. I love girls that know what they like!
So there is always the debate about who is the top quarterback in leagues, is it Brady is it Peyton? But the truth of the matter is that after the top three there is huge separation in the field of Quarterbacks. To me there are only three Quarterbacks that are at the highest level right now, and sorry guys Romo and Favre are not part of them. Four years ago I would have given you a top five of pretty debatable equal players but some of those guys couldn't hold up over the time. So without further ado here is my top 5 quarter backs in the league now.
1. Peyton Manning
2. Tom Brady
3. Carson Palmer These three guys ability and skill are on a completely different level than any other quarterback in the league. Brett has his magic and no one plays the way he does but let's be honest he still has the cannon but other than last year his last four years have not been that great. Both in ability and Statistics.
4. Donovan McNabb
Donovan Mcnabb
Just look at the numbers look at the history and most of all look at the ability when he is healthy he is playing at level much like that of the top 3.
Number five is tricky you can place a lot guys here again just showing how much the level of quarter backs drops once you get past the top three. So is it…Favre?…Romo?…Eli?…Big Ben? or is it maybe even Drew Breeze? Drum roll…
Not quite yet. At first I was going to call it a tie but you can't have a tie in top list that is just plain stupid so I had to bump Romo out. Yes he doesn't make it. 为什么呢？ he has only started three years and has never won a playoff game. Also if you look back in his past 2 years starting he has never cracked top 3 as far as ratings are concerned. Which means this year he probably will not either.
So number five on the list goes to Big Ben,
Ben Rothlisberger #5 our our QB list
5. Ben Roethlisberger
If you look at his career he has one of the highest winning percentages ever, for the start of his career, He is also constantly in the top five for ratings which encompasses a quarterbacks overall play and most importantly after having a down year in 2006, last year (2007) he threw for 33 TDS silencing critics say what you want about one the most winning quarterbacks ever, one super bowl ring 33 TDS recently, and one of the highest QB ratings for a career ever he is currently playing at the level of a top 5 quarter back in the league. Don't Agree? comment Then and give me your list. I'm out…
Down Goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!! Tom Brady went down in week 1 with a torn ACL and now it seems the MVP is out for the season. I don't expect any miracles but with the Patriots you never know. So as all of New England sheds a tear, and the rest of the free world throws a party and no one is partying harder than Miami, Buffalo, and New York fans. Not because a great athlete got hurt. Nope not at all. No one wants anybody to get hurt, but no nobody wants to see Tom Brady play against their teams either. I will admit that I to cracked I rejoiceful smile when I found out, (Come on you did too, admit it) . “What does this mean?” you ask. It means no Super Bowl repeats for the Pats. Wait but it's week 1 you say. Let's be honest with Tom Brady out the Pats are going to struggle all year.
Man oh man, the rookie wideouts are getting it done early this year in the season. Desean Jackson put up huge numbers on sunday, and now Eddie Royal stole the show. The Bronco's used him alot. I mean, they had plays for him that were creative and entertaining, built in to showcase his talents. He ran the ball off of WR pitches, he caught a good amount of passes and he even attempted to throw a pass. Eddie Royal was everywhere. Eddie's performance makes it hard to believe that he is even a rookie, because he played like an all star.
Eddie Royal gets my vote for rookie of the week. He had over 146 a 1 ReTD
Eddie Royal Celebrates 1st NFL TD. From the looks of it there are many more to come.

Regardless, This guy is a huge fantasy asset. ESPECIALLY In leagues that count kick return yards for receivers. It seems, because of his speed, he has alot of planned looks written in the playbook. If he is available in your league, be sure you pick him up. The opportunity to sign a WR like this out of the free agency comes very seldom in fantasy Sports. Eddie Royal had the best Rookie debut performance for any Bronco ever with 9 grabs 146 yards 1 TD, 2 carrys, 9 rushing yards, and 0/1 passing for 0 yards.

多诺万麦克纳布做了很多的幻想老板的笑容今天。 He whipped the St. Louis Rams outscoring there offense 38-3. 多诺万沉默他所有的批评今天，至少一个星期，投掷361码在22/33尝试。 He had 3 TDs and no INTs today. 他QB评级今天是一个压倒性的131.0评级。

In the biggest upset of week 1 on Sunday, Jake Delhomme lead his team back to score a final game winning TD as the clock expired. The final 25-24 was a huge upset for the San Deigo fans. The Panthers ousted the chargers without the aid of their superstar WR, Steve Smith, who was suspended 3 weeks for punching teamate Ken Lucas in minicamp.
Dante Rosario #88 Caught the game winning TD in the Panters big upset to the Chargers
Standout performances: 1. Phillip Rivers, played very well went 12/17 with 217 yards and 3 TD and no Ints 2. LT- Had 22 touches for 97 yards (0 TD's) 3. Jake Delhomme, was very posed on the final game winning drive. Over the course of the game he amassed 247 yards through the air with 1 TD and no Ints. 4. PLAYER OF THE GAME: Dante Rosario #88 TE Caught 7 balls for 96 yards and the game winning touchdown. Not bad for a little known TE.

I'm gonna start things off with Jason Campbell. He's honestly got a lot of the physical tools that can make for a great quarterback; mobility, a pretty strong arm (as shown when he overthrows it deep), and he's also six feet and five inches tall.
Jason Campbell is not looking very good.
However, he hasn't got the smarts. What is up with the five yard passes when you need six on third down while a defender is ready and waiting to make the tackle after the catch. He threw a yard short on almost every third down in the game when the Redskins called a pass. Surprisingly, the one time his “short-comings” actually worked came on third down and eleven with 20 seconds to go in the first half; The Skins were on the Giants 14 yard line and needed to get down to the eleven so they could move the chains, and lo-and-behold, what does Mr. Campbell do? He throws the ball to Santana Moss at the ten!… who then actually manages to break for 13 yards into the end zone. I mean, you gotta figure that one of his short third down passes would have resulted in a first down eventually. Too bad they all couldn't. After that touchdown, the Redskins continued with more nowhere marches down the field. The Giants pounded the ball down their throats and Brandon Jacobs received 21 handoffs for 116 yards, and Derrick Ward performed more than admirably with 9 caries for 39 yards. Each runner had 5.5 and 4.3 yards per carry respectively.
Brandon Jacobs as made an event out of crushing Redskins.
Now don't overlook the Redskins' running game last night. Clinton Portis managed 84 yards on 23 carries. Most good backs should be closer to, if not over, a 100 at that point, but the Redskins sporty new west-coast offense was of no help what so-ever save for just after the Rock Cartwright 50+ yard kick return before the end of the first half. But when your aerial attack is not helping you, 84 hard-earned yards is somewhat admirable. Eli Manning on the other hand looked good. I don't care about his one interception. Not because the Redskins would inevitably go three-and-out as a result, but mainly because he just looked sharp. (You see, I have always viewed Eli Manning as such; I call him something I made up about a year ago… an “Interception Quarterback.” He'll get his fare share of picks while maybe lingering atop the league in that category, and he might just be barely hovering above or just below a 60% completion percentage, but he'll be getting the job done on third down, and most of the time when the game matters.). He hooked up with Plaxico on big gains, and used Steve Smith on third downs, perhaps showing that Smith might become a possession man on thirds down.

Bottom line, people want to talk up Jason Campbell for his attributes, and also because I personally believe that for whatever reason, a lot of NFL fans seem to sympathize with him since he's got the “He's a good kid” look. But let me tell you something, so does Alex Smith and Joey Harrington, and so did guys like Tim Couch and Akili Smith. Cute faces… ugly games.
Son of a bust! Somebody actually thought both these guys would be good?! Now I remember why I don't read Sports Illustrated
Anyways, the Giants may want to work on turning more of those field goal drives into touchdowns, and the Redskins may want to start getting Campbell to look just a yard or two further down the field, and try to get Chris Cooley involved, who finished the game with one catch for seven sorry yards. Bottom line, the G-Men did what they were supposed to do. They didn't blow out the Redskins, but their efforts ultimately culminated into a dominant performance, and a resoundingly convincing win.
The Giants win the Superbowl and the 2008 Opening day game (wo who). 大和上周日的联赛休息出去玩，在天结束意味着一半的联赛将是不败的，另一半将在000％的留。但对我来说，在NFL赛季的前3场比赛都是冒险的最好的。我敢打赌，任何教练或球员都会告诉你同样的。该团队只是不上的所有8缸在这三场比赛是射击为什么它是如此很难看到究竟是谁在赛季初都是精英。就拿底特律雄狮队。那年他们开始了3-1，他们甚至没有打进季后赛。那我说你问？什么我的观点？
The 2009 NFL season opened today, with The Washington Redskins at the New York Giants. There were many things that happened at the game. Micheal Strahan came out of a Novelty Lombardi trophy and made a speech before kickoff. Then many fans at half time boo'd team owner Steve Tisch during “The Cancer Awareness Event half-time show” due to the his new policy on Personal Seating Licenses at the new Giant Stadium. It was pretty sad to say the least. While this man is making a speech about his fathers fight with cancer most of the fans were just booing. No one cared about the man's personal pain over the loss of his father. Nope, not at all. The crowd instead vocalized the fact that they are angry and pissed off about PSL's. Well, we all know NYC can be a tough town. Regardless, The New York Giants topped the Redskins 16-7. Plaxico Burress had another standout performance, picking up where he left off last post season, racking up 133 yards on 10 receptions. Other notable performances were Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck. Jacobs ran for 116 yards on 21 carries. Justin Tuck recorded a Sack on the first play from scrimmage.
Justin Tuck Celebrates a Sack
It was a great game for the Defending Superbowl Champion New York Giants. The only issue they seemed to have was Red zone production. It is still very early in the season, so we will have to wait and see what they can do in the red zone in the next game on Sept 14th, in St Louis.
不适合我。我将它称之为就在这里和现在的季节，甚至开始前，一个单元是采取前。 Bold you say. 极;但我把它叫做当钢人队在05夺得，并呼吁它时，小马队赢得了06单卡之前曾被taken.Will我是正确的？ probably, but the statistics are against me. So who am I saying? You really want to know?
以及对于亚冠我匹兹堡钢人队赢得了师，并通过在NFL最艰难的战斗时间表钢人将推出超级杯之后。
2008年钢人队防守起来挤作一团
对于NFC我有达拉斯牛仔队。是男孩，没有他们不是我的孩子们（我恨他们），但我得保持真实。他们在老鹰队在赛区排第二，仅次于牛仔会使推超级碗。这意味着1995年的比赛了可能与钢人玩的AFC冠军赛马队再次重演。与钢人队赢得这一切。为什么呢？输给了牛仔队在常规赛季结束后，他们将赢得这场复赛，因为在NFL球队输球总是占上风。 So there you have it folks. 我的超级碗选秀权，所以一定要确保你写下来，记下时间，日期和把它锁起来，因为我把它叫做。

泰特姆贝尔近日从底特律雄狮队公布，以腾出空间在周一老化巨星约翰逊鲁迪。贝尔被送回家，但他留下明显之前，他花了鲁迪·约翰逊的古奇箱包他。这整个崩溃甚至被抓安全摄像头。 The red handed Tatum Bell wrote off the fiasco as a simple mistake. 谁知道该相信什么？贝尔一定是咸失去他的名额。我们愿意赌泰特姆不会连自己的Gucci包包！
底特律雄狮队的鲁迪·约翰逊
鲁迪·约翰逊告诉记者，“我得到了箱包背 - 空”。他接着解释说：“他有一堆我内衣。 What he's going to do with that, I don't know. He's got some socks and boxers.” 可以理解的是，鲁迪并没有兴高采烈的事件。您更换的家伙偷了你的设计的Gucci包包...
好吧，如果它是对我，足球运动员不会有或使用Gucci包的（又名男人的钱包）。他们将携带他们的服装在一个麻袋，因为我昨天预想的玩家可能已经在路上。可能来自反对击败收起队的齿轮记号头盔。 I mean really, could you see Jack Lambert or Dick Butkus strolling into the locker room with Gucci luggage?
Take a look for yourself:
迪克布特库斯永远不会有一个Gucci的包包只是看着他。
杰克·兰伯特将有可能吃了你还活着，如果他看到你与Gucci的行李中钢帷幕的更衣室。
I just can not see these men using or being around those you use Gucci or other designer's bags. 当然，他们可能会降低咀嚼他们的一天，一些皮革，但我们愿意打赌这些体育图标将不会陷入死与设计男子钱包。
Ricky Williams has been through all the uppers and downers the NFL can offer. He has been through much controversy in his career and it is refreshing to see a player attempt to get it right the 2nd time around. Even though Ricky Williams had gone to school in Texas, he never graduated, and it is great to see him now taking that initiative at age 31 to go back to school. Ricky has enrolled in classes Nova Southeastern University, and plans on trying to become a Doctor one day. Ricky told reporters, ”I like seeing people feel better, and I know what it feels like to deal with pain,”. It is a cold hard fact that Williams knows what it is feels like to deal with pain. The way the dolphins ran him into the ground was awful. His number was called almost 420 times a season for over two years straight. It was just hard to watch. It's good to see that he is doing things right and going back into school, so that when he is done with the game, he as something to fall back on. This story should be all over the news just because it sends out the right message to our youth. Look at Ricky, he is starting to become a role model. Run Ricky Run…….

14 sacks Last season, Mario Williams has solidified himself as an Elite DE in the NFL. This should silence all those people who snickered at him being a 1st overall pick over Reggie Bush. This year he should rack up over 10 sacks. With his NFL combine results, its no wonder they took a chance on him. Mario stands at 6 foot 7 inches tall. He weighs 295 Pounds. At the combine he ran a 40 yard dash in 4.66, accomplished 35 reps 225 bench press, and had a vertical jump of 40.5″.
I don't know to me that is freakish athleticism and it sounds like they made the best choice.

When you rush the passer with speed and you're over 275 pounds, you know your an elite NFL DE. Justin Tuck is one of the few who can say, “I can do it all on the DL” in the NY Giants defensive unit.
Justin Tuck we salute you!
He has the size and strength of a DT and the speed of an elite DE. Micheal Strahan, has stated that “Justin Tuck” has more talent than he ever did. This year everyone has been down on the Giants because they have lost Strahan and Osi to retirement and injury, respectively. But lets really take a look at that Defensive unit. The core Antonio Peirce is there. He is like the glue that holds this big blue ship together. The Giants have elite pass rushers in Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka, and possibly Gerris Wilkinson.
Gerris Wilkinson ready for some extra reps in practice
Yes I said it, Gerris Wilkinson. He has great overall athletic ability so if they utilize him correctly he can bring a lot of pressure from the edges.
Regardless of pass rush, they have a very sturdy Secondary. The Corners are Webster (whom pretty much locked down TO Donald Driver Joey Galloway last postseason), Sam Madison (possible HOF), Aaron Ross(Standout Rookie) and Terrell Thomas (2nd Round Pick) as well as Kevin Dockery. Aaron Ross and Corey Webster can track down the ball very well in man or zone coverage. The Giants also have solid Safeties, in Sammy “Good” Knight, James Butler and 1st round pick Kenny Phillips. This secondary can play, I assure you. Big Blue's safeties don't only have the ability to cover but these players are likely to take anyone, who comes over the middle of the field, head clean off. This unit can either pulverize you or run with you. This secondary has a swagger, atheletic ability, and great experience.. They could prove to be one of the better secondaries (Top 10) in the NFL this year.
Kenny Phillips has Talent which could land him the starting Safety spot soon.

With NFL, kick off only two days away. We have been seeing many different things going on in the NFL.
Teams are preparing for the season openers and our evaluating Injuries and recent free agency pick ups. Thats nothing new but do you know what is?
CHAD JOHNSON!
One thing that I found very interesting is that I heard a report that Chad Johnson, had legally changed his name to Ocho Cinco.
OCHO CINCO Legally?
We all had seen by now that Lynch has been cut by the Patriots whom one can assume will just pick him back up with a lower contract deal.
We also heard the awful news, that Jacksonville Offensive Tackle would not be playing on the field this week because he is fighting for his life, in critical condition. Our prayers go out to him and his family.
Richard Collier was shot in the early morning on 9/02/08
“The guys are in shock. You see this kind of thing happen all the time on TV, but you never expect it in your own backyard. He's a good dude. I just pray for him and his family and wish the best for them. I'm sure he'll pull through.” explained Fred Taylor, Veteran RB for the Jags.
This pre-season for the Jags has not been that forgiving. Just think only a couple of weeks ago Matt Jones was stuck with a felony drug charge for possession of cocaine, a couple of days ago Fred Taylor was all over the news for being cited as a public disturbance, and now this. The Jags this year seem to be on a bad news media roller coaster.
The 3-4 Formation is a common defensive Formation run by many teams. The “3-4″ stands for 3 Down lineman and 4 Defensive Linebackers. Please Note: The Middle Defensive Lineman is referred to as the Nose Tackle instead of the DT (Defensive Tackle) because he lines up on the nose of the offensive center. Nose Tackles are often the largest players on the defense. Chris Jenkins and Casey Hampton are great examples of what a Nose Tackle should be. Several NFL teams which are known for running this package are The Pittsburgh Steelers, The New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens in addition to many others.
4-3 Defense Formation
This is a very commonly used formation and is the basis for most teams in the NFL's defensive play books. Teams which have thrived running this defense are The Giants, The Falcons and The Eagles to name a few.
4-3 Over Defensive Formation shift
The word “Over” shows us that there has been a shift in the alignment of the Defensive Linebacking core. As your can see in “Over” we see that the OLB shifts to the strong side of the field. How to determine what is the strong side of the field will be discussed in a separate post.
4-3 Defense Under Formation Shift
“Under” is the polar opposite of the “Over” formation shift call. Look the linebackers have lined up shifting to the other side of the field. This side is the weak side, however, this will also be augmented with an additional post. Please note: The shifted lineback in both of these formation shifts (”Over”&”Under”) line up closer to the line than they would normally. This will aid in stopping the outside run, holding containment of the running backs (Not letting them get outside), as well as free them up for a Pass rush for a sack(tackling the Quarterback behind the line of scrimmage)
Nickle Defensive Formation
This is a Defensive set that is used primarily in passing situations (EG 3rd and 10). We see that one of the Linebackers from the 4-3 defense has been substituted for a member of the defensive secondary(Safeties & Cornerbacks). This new member of the Defense is referred as the Nickelback and that is where this Formation gets its name. Nickel Formation = Nickelback on the field. 它就是这么简单。 Almost every team in the professional level has this defensive play set.
Dime Defense Formation
The Dime, is a very aggressive defense against the pass. It is usually not run in possible rushing situations due to its instability against the run. As you can see only one linebacker remains on the field while the rest of them have been substituted out for additional Cornerbacks. This formation is a long passing situation defense and is utilized by most NFL teams. The better a team's secondary is the more likely the dime formation will be effective.

新奥尔良圣徒队的跑锋雷吉 - 布什是一个门将，但我不会开始他在13周眼下，跑新奥尔良圣徒皮埃尔·托马斯看起来相当不错特别是与87个冲的庭院和12周的比赛结束2冲对阵绿湾包装工达阵。 圣徒可能让他得到一些更多的承载了雷吉·布什，如果他们让他在14日当周起，使布什获得他需要休息。 等待14周或15再次启动之前，布什。 如果你有问题，你跑的位置，你需要进入季后赛，你可能要考虑删除雷吉布什。 寻找凯文·福克的新英格兰爱国者，匹兹堡钢人队的Mewelde Moore和丹佛野马队的佩顿希利斯，如果他们没有被拾起。
