What happens if the Lions light us up? Nothing, since neither set of starters will be playing more than a series, or at most two.

The fact that he has been charged with the same crime multiple times (domestic violence) is reason to be wary of future incidents, and possibly suspensions. I do believe Goodell has the right to enforce the personal conduct policy regardless of convictions, but I'm not entirely sure (I'm trying to think of a good example....) The innocent until proven guilty thing doesn't really apply to the workplace, employers generally can fire an employee at will.

Statue of Liberty play on the first series.

They will actually play pretty well in the opener, but probably won't win. Or maybe they'll get crushed, how the hell am I supposed to know?

Fired for being OCD.

We really haven't seen our "real" offense on the field yet for more than a series or two. Hopefully once TO gets back coverages will become a little softer, and we might have some success moving the ball. Also, I think there have been a few young guys showing promise this year (Stupar, Wood, and Bell and Ashlee Palmer before their injuries) and I liked what I saw from Kyle Williams on Saturday (forcing that fumble while the OL-man was holding him like crazy.)

Didn't they actually give up some draft picks for edwards?

You need to watch some zombie movies.

So Roscoe having one decent catch (for 9 yards) makes up for the multiple drops in the first half against man to man coverage? It seemed to me like they were trying to give him every opportunity to make the highlight reels (maybe to increase his trade value) and he couldn't make anything happen.

maybe. but he wouldn't behind our o-line.

What is pat return for touchdown?

We might want to punt on third down, just to play it safe.

Very unlikely he will be cut or traded. Him not being able to play LT doesn't reflect on his ability to play RT. In fact, his play at RT last year was what made the powers that be think that he could play on the left side. Also, as a previous poster mentioned, Bell is hurt right now, and nobody knows how he will hold up against starters week after week.

it's crayonz dude. you can only fight fire with napalm.

Sept. 1 -- Roster cutdown to maximum of 75 players. Sept. 5 -- Roster cutdown to maximum of 53 players.

Obviously you're not up on the last CBA. If Dallas were to sign him while we had him under contract, they'd owe us their next six 1st round draft picks, although if we're serious about it, they may be able to bargain us down to 4.

I would be willing to bet that Marshall will also be gone / suspended at least by the end of next year. Owens may have character concerns, but at least he's not a woman-beater.

Hmmm, if we had a pool going, you already lost Dan.

Thanks BB and Lori

Since I just got flagged for trying to access a gambling site at work, can you give us a hint at what's contained within?

I hate Jason Peters. The Bills may have made a stupid move with this trade. Maybe Peters will be a monster in Philly and Wood will suck. Maybe Peters will play pretty well, but Wood will go on to be a HOF type player. Maybe Peters will grow fat and happy with that huge contract. There's many more possible variations. I don't claim to know how it will pan out. Now on the flip side, will you admit they they may have had valid concerns regarding his work ethic, and maybe, just maybe were justified in not wanting to give him a giant contract? And that maybe, the Eagles who were the ones who made a stupid move with this trade.

Players should know this is the deal, and negotiate their contracts accordingly. Still, most fans (and teams for that matter) don't seem to have a problem with renegotiating early when a player shows up and does his job. But in cases where there are questions around a player (e.g. Marshall's string of domestic abuse cases, Peters' work ethic) or when the player tries to renegotiate early multiple times (e.g. Peters) then there is usually some reluctance to renegotiate.

He also won a hell of a lot more games. Just saying.

TD : INT looks great, but upon closer inspection, he averages a sack for every 10 attempts. That was with a pretty decent O-line, and an awesome running game. (Trent's numbers last year, 23 sacks in 374 attempts.) Stats are facts, but they can be interpreted in many different ways. Another fact is that Sage Rosenfels was brought in to challenge for the starting job. As for opinions, most people here seem to think he had one of the best surrounding casts in the league for the past two years, and he hasn't accomplished much.

We have run our own version of the wildcat with Roscoe Parrish.
