BOOM

Report: Michael Vick will start this week

 

dawkins or ed reed?

i would rank polamalu's career over both of them even though he is now an old fragile man.  however, you did not answer my question. people think sean taylor because he was a beast in college and had a lot of potential, but i dont think he was as complete of a player dawkins was in his prime.  people forget how well rounded dawkins was at almost everything, where he was not only as huge hitter, he was a great tackler, a great blitzer and great in coverage and the all important great leader. 

now if taylor had more time to keep improving he might have become a better player, but people tend to remember potential over an accomplished career.  this reminds me of what i call the 50 cent theory: remeber after his first 2 cds where he was easily the #1 rapper and both cds were bangers including a classic in "get rich or die trying."  plus 50 had G-Unit and at that time pretty much every mixtape and every one in his crew had a platium cd which was due to 50's popularity.  now imagine if he died directly after his 2nd cd and was never able to come out with anything else. after all that success people only would be able to remember him based off that and his potential for more.  i am pretty sure there would be some people calling him one of the greatest rappers of all time because ppl like to over value potential.  now obviously that wasnt the case and 50 has since come out with garbage and is not even on the rap radar anymore, but that is my point with short term success and potential over a long career. 

and did you see this when the ravens lined up for the tying extra point last suday haha

 

i saw that too haha what a terrible name. if anything they gotta do warriors

again, my stubborn redskin fan friends are convinced it wont chance, but when something offensive sparks just the smallest debate it will gain traction. to me its almost a certainty it will change eventually but dont tell them that.

like it says, where theres smoke theres fire

they could keep the name and change the logo to a (redskin) potato

biggie had a song titled "youre nobody til somebody kills you"


i think it applies more to biggie than pac because a) biggie only put out one album before he died b) 2pac was not only a rapper but a huuuuge influence to so many more things while big was a rapper and nothing else c) the whole east-coast west coast fued was more about biggie dying out of revenege than 2pac dying for it in the first place (if that makes sense).

personally i think 2pac was the greatest rapper ever but notorious BIG would struggle to make my top-5.

ive had this argument before and could for hours but i gotta get ready for a job interview

LIKE OMG WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH FOOTBALLL!?!?!




But for reals, that sounds pretty sweet, good luck!

my skins fan are the exact same way, think there is no chance in hell the name is ever going to change and think its dumb to even consider.

my bet is it gets changed within 5 years

me personally, i am going:

1. QB: Aaron Rodgers

2. DT: JJ Watt

3. WR: Aj Green

4. OLB: Von Miller

5. WR: Calvin Johnson

 

my theory:  obviously you need a qb and even though luck is younger i would still go arod cuz you can get at least another 5-8 solid years out of him. in todays NFL, you need to throw the ball and with rodgers, what better 2 WR's can you pick then AJ green and megatron?  i was thinking AJ and julio, but i couldnt pass up on calvin and he still has at another 4-5 good years in him.

now onto D, if you look at the best defenses they all focus on pressuring the qb and controlling the line of scrimmage.  JJ watt is clearly the best defensive player of the year so he was an easy pick, and i went with von over patrick peterson because even if you have a great shutdown corner it doesnt equal team success (cards, bucs with revis etc).  my team is loaded

this makes me miss our madden fantasy drafts :(

that was cheating.

my favorite was JPP in 2011 haha he had like a 90 speed and was unstoppable

im pretty sure 2 weeks ago you wanted everyone fired and to blow it up for nicks boy clowney haha.

as long as the skins dont somehow make a comeback and win it all ill be good.  i still have about 10% faith in the eagles to make a comeback as long as they get some stability at qb, but its looking like cowboys will win this division at like 9-7

back to basketball season avatar, im done with mike vick.

you would think he would be the perfect qb for this offense but the guy cannot stay healthy and is going to costs us another season.  its pretty clear he is the reason andy was sent packing cuz the guy can obviously still coach with his team going from 2-14 to 8-0.  you need a qb to win in the NFL, and not someone who plays for 4 weeks, misses 3 weeks, plays a quarter, out for another 3 weeks.  time to draft someone like mariotta or manziel and hope he can turn this team around.  its sad because the team is FINALLY actually playing some D but now cant score.  i would go into more detail but i dont want to punch another hole in my computer and its vegas week.

 

well its way too early to tell how high these guys are going to go (or who will even be avaiable), but most likely the one we want will be in the top 10.   Luckily for us, as of now they are in that range.

barkley is not the answer unless chip starts calling completly different plays.  he ran read options yet there was no option and shady got killed.  u cant let a free rusher at him and then hand him the ball anyway, its obviously never going to work and need to do different things. 

yesterday was the 1st time as eagles coach where i disagreed with a majority of chips decisions.  we can start with throwing the ball on 1st and goal at the 2 which somehow resulted in a fumble at the 10 yard line, the game might as well been over there. there was also a 4th and 9 in FG range that he went for it and barkley mishandled the snap and then overthrew cooper by 10 yards.  the onside kick with 4 minutes left was another one i didnt get.

 i never thought i would say this but i really hope foles comes back this week so we have a chance at the raiders!  somehow this team is only 1 game back and the D is playing the best it has had in 3 years, now its time to find a qb who can run this offense.

 

or maybe its cause the oline coach isnt calling the defensive plays anymore?

 definitly a huge factor.  but they also replaced at least 7 of the 11 starters from last year and went from a 4-3 to a 3-4.

only starters still around from last years d is trent cole, cox, nate allen, and mychael kendricks and 2 of them were rookies last year.

now its time to focus on the o, who woulda thought... 

Woof Brandon Merriweather going for the jugular.... In regards to Brandon Marshall saying Merriweather should have been suspended for an extended period...


“Listen, everybody’s got their opinion of things, you know,” Meriweather said, via Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “Everybody’s got their opinion. He feels like, you know, I need to be kicked out of the league. I feel like, people who beat their girlfriends should be kicked out of the league too. . . .

Giants late season push, the D looks GREAT, offense long clock killing drives, need to execute in the red zone, otherwise looking good. LETS GO!

 how much of this do you actually believe?

they beat a 1-5 vikings team whos starting qb was on the team for 15 days and he so bad he was already cut.  they didnt look goodin their victory.

then they beat a 3-4 eagles team whos starting qb was a 4th round draft pick and currently 3rd string. they didnt score 1 td.

At best they need to go 8-8 to win the division and hope everyone else collapse which is possible but then that means they now need to go 6-2.  they got the raiders at home so they should (key word) win that one.  but then here are the rest meaning they have to go at worst 5-2:

packers (sunday night game) 

@ dallas

@ SD

Seattle

@  Lions 

2 vs skins

 

umm ya i dont see them going 5-2 without slipping up in that stretch.

I sure as hell did.

But since then they've got a fire lit under their asses.

Gilbride has realized that every plat doesn't have to be a 30+ yard shot down field.

The defense is finally playing the correct personel.

Eli isn't turning the ball over 4x a game.

I see improvement.





Kevin Gilbride still needs to be fired.

yup i was thinking the same thing, just wait until pitt has to go to NE

(checking)

yup thats next week.  but hes on the IR right?  means they cant serve him unless he makes the trip

just ordered my Free Pouncey hat

it would be awesome to be a football player but my god i would hate the media aspect of it. from jumping to conclusions without hearing the full story over the weekend to attacking martin (and honestly even incognito) about something that they know nothing about. twitter is great, but theres no fact checking and so much of what we get is either untrue or exaggerated.

this isnt even from twitter, its from florio, but he starts to suggest martin is doing this only so he can get paid to sit at home (or in his case the hospital being treated for depression)


"The availability of a lawsuit also will strengthen suspicions (correct or incorrect) that Martin contrived a situation where he’d be paid to play football without playing football by secretly harvesting evidence of discrimination and then waiting for the right moment to launch the attack. Others will suspect (correctly or incorrectly) that Martin didn’t want to do anything about the situation other than get out of it, and that people close to him (such as parents who are both lawyers) overreacted upon hearing the voice message, insisting that Martin take action."


really? but the players are no better

“Hartline saying the media is bullying the #Dolphins now…”


and management? along with coaches MAYBE telling incognito to toughen martin up your GM is literally telling two players to fight each other

"Ireland, according to the sources, suggested to Smith that Martin physically confront Incognito. Ireland specifically mentioned that Martin should “punch” Incognito."


im not saying that martin is innocent in all this. maybe he found the "bullying" funny and played along or did what he was told. but its not inconceivable that a kid that went to private school and stanford, has paretns for lawyers and was thrown into a lockerroom in on of the craziest places in america, with teammates like richie incognito, may be a little bit sensitive. the media is now attacking his character and making claims that he is suckering the dolphins into workers comp which to me is insane.

the dolphins have handled this so poorly i dont get how philbin keeps his job. and when martin breaks his silence, if he even suggests that he at one point tried to go to the coaching staff but was shut out, things are only going to get worse.

im sure the steelers could find a spot for martin. at left tackle. starting.

just gotta be nice to him.
