  1. I just saw this on CBSsportlline.  Looks like Billy wants out, with the signing of Kerry Collins.  I wonder if the Bills' brass would have an interest, considering they went after him 2 years ago.

    It looks like Volek made the wrong decision to re-sign with Tennessee as feel had he signed here he'd most likely be starting for us today as doubt we would have ever drafted Losman or signed Holcomb if we inked Volek two seasons ago. In terms of pursuing him now.

  2. I don't know what Howard OnDemand is...  If you have a DVR though, you can setup a wishlist/season pass to record whatever you want and always have as many "Howard" as you want.  Personally, I think OnDemand is rather lame and a DVR is much better, but some people seem to like it.

     

    Remember, I appreciate being a referral if you do decide to sign up :devil:

    Howard OnDemand is Stern's old and new shows uncensored to watch at any time at the press of a button ie I don't have to wait for it to air and keep it on my DVR's hard drive and rewatch later as it's housed on a cable server. Yet I agree that DVR is great too but that's why I have both OnDemand AND a DVR with my cable and quite happy.

  3. both garbage players but i needed a speedy depth DE...so i traded RB Shaud Williams to Denver for DL Amon Gordon

     

    then i traded a 4th rd pick to KC for DE Carlos Hall

     

    i think both trades ended up being crap

    I'm assuming your acting as a Bills GM? Hall's been living off the fumes of one good year in Tenessee for awhile yet I think he's better then anything we have on the current roster as a 4th DE and/or primary back up to Schobel. Gordon's NFL.com predraft bio makes him sound like he could develop into a decent player especially when consider it's Madden when concentration isn't a big thing.

  4. I remember raising this with John Guy in 2002. He's not young, never punted in an American Football game, but Rocca's punt distance are pretty legendary in Australia. If he can master the shorter step, the shorter time ("he's got a 5 second reaction time in a 2 second game" quote comes to mind) and the subtleties of NFL punting he could make NFL Europe as in Darren Bennett and then perhaps a shot at a team in 2007...

    It makes little sense as Moorman signed a six year extension following the 2002 season, so he's under contract until the end of the 2008 season. Unless they're thinking he could be a kickoff specialist.

  5. True. Although I wonder if the difference is that they'd rather go w/young guys that they drafted and know about rather than young guys Donahoe drafted whom they don't know a lot about.

     

    Plus, I bet McNally had some say in this and wasn't comfortable with Preston starting now for whatever reason.

    Maybe our assistant O-line coach, Larry Zierlein, and former Browns O-line coach, had some input on Fowler's abilities since they worked together from 2002- 2004 together.

  6. I'm in a keeper league and struggling with who to keep. He's in a 10 team league that's expending to 12 teams this year. I'm keeping Shaun Alexander but struggling whether to keep Portis or Chambers. The scoring is 6 points any TD, 1 point a reception and an sliding bonus for how many yards rushing or receiving a player gets. ie 3 points if a player gets 75-99 rushing yards, 5 points for 100 - 149 yards, 7 points for 150- 199 yards and 10 points for over 200 yards. Each team is allowed to keep two players and after those keepers are announced the expansion teams are to take two players of their own that remain in the unkept pool. Then we have our draft. I own the 6th pick in the first round.

     

    I'm thinking of keeping Portis and possibly take a WR with his first pick. Yet I thought I'd post a poll for more opinions. Feel free to vote and add your opinions.

  7. Put Peyton Manning behind the Bills offensive line of last year and he's still an MVP candidate and Edgerin James is still a top RB and Manning's offensive is still near the top of the league.

    Do you know who's playing Left OT in Indy? It's a guy named Tarik Glenn, who was a 1st Round pick the year prior to Peyton's arrival.

  8. Here is the team I helped the old man draft:

     

    QB: Palmer

    QB: Leftwich

    RB: James

    RB: D Davis

    RB: Droughns

    RB: Gore

    WR: C. Johnson

    WR: H. Ward

    WR: Houshmandzadeh

    WR: Evans

    D/ST: Giants

    D/ST: Dallas

    K: Kasay

    K: Hall

     

    I fltl like I abused everyone in the room afterward.

    753295[/snapback]

     

    Glad to help, nice overall team but there are some health concerns for Palmer, D Davis and H Ward. My only other concern be is I'd consider trading Houshmandzadeh as his team seems to be a bit Bengal heavy.

  9. What is the difference between players being released or being waived, clearly they are not the same, as the two terms don’t seem to be used interchangeably; and how does each one affect the player, his contract, the releasing/waiving team, and a team that signs him?

    753424[/snapback]

    I think it has to do with NFL experience as players that have played a certain amount of years are free to sign with other teams whereas less experienced players are subject to the waiver wire. I could be wrong though but you can read the CBA at http://www.nflpa.org to find the real answer.

  10. Nance has done less than every other receiver on our roster this preseason (3 games, 0 catches, 5th string). I'm not so sure he even makes the ps. Wilson is still eligible for ps, so maybe he goes there?

     

    Also, I wouldn't give up on Davis or Smith just yet. Both have shown a lot on special teams.

    753212[/snapback]

    I agree with the feelings on Nance, instead I'd put Chris Denney on the PS.

     

    In terms of Wilson, if we keep 6 WRs he definately should be #6 but don't think he's eligible for the PS as he was on the Lions' practice squad in 2004. Plus he was with us last year meaning he's been in the league two seasons and think players that have been in the league less than two years are PS eligible.

     

    In terms of my top 5 WRs, I'm sticking to my original thoughts of Evans, Price, Parrish, Davis and Aiken although I could see Reed sticking around tto. As it appears JP has some trust in him on 3rd downs and could see him replace Davis. Yet think Davis brings more to the table in terms of ST then Reed.

  11.                           G  GS Att Comp  %    Yd   Yd/ Att Lg  Td INT Tkld   20+40+ Rate

    That was also Todd's first full year as a starter at the top and Rich Gannon's 4th season aka his first year as a full time starter at the bottom.

     

    The truth is very few QBs show much their first year's starting despite how many year's they've been in the league. There's no telling how good/bad Todd be had we kept with him but the truth is I think we owe it to JP to not be so fast to toss him aside if he puts up "Todd" or should I say "Rich" type numbers?

  12. If either of the DTs is a good player, it would be pretty much a wash.

    That said, I am thrilled by what I have seen of Williams.

    753110[/snapback]

    I disagree it be a wash if McCargo doesn't turn out. As we traded up to get McCargo which will always lead to the what IF we hadn't traded up we made have been able to draft OT Darryn Colledge or any player X and a DT like Claude Wroten or any player Y. As I've always said a draft is about getting the best collection of players. It's like back in 2002 had we not traded up with the 49ers for Ryan Denney we could of ended up with QB Josh McCown and DE Alex Brown.

  13. I've been participating in FFL for over 10 years now but this is the first time I will be a part of a touchdown only league.  My old man found his way into this league and he wants my help.   The only thing is, I've never drafted in a non-performance league.  Any free websites with customizable cheat sheets that I can set up based on touchdowns?

    752206[/snapback]

    FF Today.com allows for customization using most league formats for free. He'll need to register first and then login and input his scoring.

     

    Football guys.com has many free cheatsheets available for any kind of league but the problem is their predictions are dated 6/19 so a little outdated yet are good starting points.

  14. It will be interesting to see if they activate him early on. He's looked good on special teams, too. But I still think Baker is ahead of him. And they are not likely to activate three FS in the game.

    751999[/snapback]

    Baker might be ahead of him in the short term but if the team thinks Ko is a better long term solution we might end up cutting Rashad. As it allow us to dress Ko and let him learn on the field and keep someone like Leonhard as a swing S and/or special teamer.

  15. Fitzgerald and Boldin. Boldin and Fitzgerald. Two top - notch WRs in fantasy circles, right? I think each is a #1. If this is true, where does Warner rate at QB? We all know the injury concerns that accompany him, but if his two receivers perform like we think, doesn't that mean Warner warrants a top slot at his position? He hasn't played more than 10 games in a season since 2001. It appears Leinart is the #2. History tells us that Warner will miss some time. What kind of dropoff should we expect if Leinart sees extensive time behind center? Where do you rate Warner on your QB chart?

    751577[/snapback]

    The problem with Warner is an inability to stay healthy and now that the Cards have a potential QB of the future in Matt Leinert if Kurt gets hurt he may never see the field again (see what happened to him with the Giants). I'm in a 12 team league and would say a healthy Warner is easily a starter but if I were to take him (my draft is the week of Labor day) I'd be sure to take another QB as my backup rather quickly. One guy I think be good to pair with him is Chris Simms ie a young QB with some upside.

  16. Thanks, inkman. I've learned of these particulars you so graciously provided here since I posed this question. I tend to think I'm thorough in my research when it comes to fantasy football, and I know ones counterparts might throw out "false info" to keep you off track, but I guess I needed reassurance. Maybe I missed something.

     

    To be honest, D. Jackson's knee problem may be a lingering problem. NB may reap the benefits. I like him as a real solid #3 with the potential for much greater success.  :P

    751424[/snapback]

    If anyone would benefit with Jackson's problem I think it be Bobby Engram who seemed to be a favorite of Hasselbeck when Jackson went down last year. Assuming Jackson goes down again now Engam will have someone like Burleson, who Hasselbeck has yet to establish a relationship playing opposite him, instead of Joe Jurevcious.

  17. i like what i've seen/heard about Ko, and am excited he can be a good one.

     

    But, RANKED HIGHER THAN DANTE???  I don't think that is true...who ranked Ko higher than whitner?  Top 10 pick vs. 3rd round pick.  I find that hard to billeive

    751965[/snapback]

    Actually Ko was a 4th round pick, Yobouty was our 3rd round pick.
