It took Willis well over a year to START to get back to form.

All it will do is get Culpepper's confidence higher, but if the knee won't go, it don't matter. And it will take more than 2 passes, 1 completion for 2 yards, and 4 handoffs.

Interesting that Williams and Denney have moved-up in he depth chart to starting spots, but Preston or Gibson haven't at RG.

Williams is a "warm body [you] guess?" Denney was promoted to the starting lineup at LDE.

Gee, was that their excuse for EVERY RB last year?

Holcomb brings experience and could start in a pinch. And it costs more to cut him than to keep him. I doubt any player thinks he's the better option at this point so I don't see a mutiny happening. I think he stays. Besides, who would you replace him with at this stage? Kingsbury?

BTW, here it is: http://subdork.com/1-5.wmv Look for the first play by KW at the 1:40 mark of the media player.

He thought Losman was WORSE than Roethlisberger in last year's SB?

Just watched the video and yep, the Panthers put both center Justin Hartwig and RG Evan Mathis on Williams, and he STILL made the tackle on 3rd and 2 on DeShaun Foster. The previous play he came-in unblocked and along with Bowen stuffed Foster. Props to KW!

Reportedly JP stayed after practice today to work on his footwork and getting set before he throws. Several of the errant passes were because he wasn't using proper footing.

Maybe because there WAS no pocket, with Teague getting pushed-back into his face?

Yep, he's a bust already! And if Williams was getting double-teamed by the Panthers' starting O-line, that's impressive and shows much respect. Then again, the Panthers DID lose Tutan Reyes.

Favre is always amped-up in the beginning of game as well.

Not unless you're a circus performer.

There are several WR's who are 225# or more. Guys like Owens, Andre Johnson, and David Boston. But Moulds was never that heavy. And he's 6' tall, not 6'2". I don't know why that 6'2" keeps popping up but I've seen it in more than a few places.

Probably the reason Word was released today. Cool.

Pennington was overmatched. But he's a 7th round rookie so what can you expect? Same with Merz, who I believe is either hurt or hasn't practiced enough to play in a game.

Portis will be out for awhile. That's a HUGE blow for the Redskins. They also lost another RB for the season in that game.

I heard he suffered a mild groin strain. Hope it doesn't sideline him for long.

Exactly. With the salary cap being tied to total revenues but only a portion of total revenues being shared, not to mention lower-revenue clubs needing to receive a handout from the richer clubs, I have a hard time believing that someone will plunk down the $700+M to buy the club and make a mid-$10'sM profit a year. Unless they pay close to the minimum in player salaries and/or jack-up ticket and gameday prices.

I didn't think the Bills would move...until the new CBA was signed. Suffice it to say that it does NOT help the Bills' long-term chances to remain in Buffalo after Ralph dies.

That was a tough first test for the Bills' patched-up OL, going against a GREAT DL that has been together for many years. Also with Holcomb in there, there was little in the way of the threat of a long pass or scramble.

No he hasn't. He's been playing backup RG so far and was moved there sometime earlier this year. Geisinger is the backup center now.

It's only a 63K stadium at that.
