TFoA Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ha! Reggie Ball was my favorite Yellow Jacket.Only cause he threw the ball to UGA a lot.It's really bad that my lasting image of Reggie Ball as GT's QB was him throwing the ball away on 4th down because he thought that it was 3rd down on the final play of his final game against UGA.

HedleyLamarr Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Had no idea Reggie Ball had landed with the Lions (or anywhere else in the NFL for that matter). There's your Wildcat guy right there. For those not familiar, Reggie was a QB at Georgia Tech.Except Reggie, well, sucked at QB.How do you think Calvin Johnson feels? The guy that held him back at Tech tried out as a kick returner for the Lions and apparently has stuck around and calls himself a receiver now. Calvin just can't get rid of that guy.....

TFoA Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The Falcons officially kick off the Vick "Sweepstakes.""With regards to Michael Vick, we’ve decided to seek a trade of his contractual rights to another NFL club. We took a number of steps in the 2008 season, including using our first pick to draft a quarterback. We feel a trade is the best move for the Falcons, and it’s also in the best interest of Michael. This has been a really unique situation from a variety of standpoints and because we will actively be involved in a trade situation, I don’t envision our organization speaking any more about this subject publicly until it’s reached a resolution.” - Thomas DimitroffLet's just fleece the Raiders or Cowboys for some draft picks, eh?

tBBP Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 This just fresh off the wire:The Jacksonville Jaguars have released RB Fred Taylor.Man...talk about a hard pill to swallow. From reading the article, I saw no signs of ill will on either side...looked as if it was purely a football decision. Still, it's hard to see any team legend (or about as much a team legend as a 14-year-old football team can have) exit stage right. But, I will say this, as a devout supporter of the Florida State Seminoles: I have had the utmost respect for Fred Taylor and his game over the past 11 years. (I say that because Taylor is an alum of the archrival Florida Gators.) I, for one, certainly do wish him well in his future endeavors moving forward.This now makes MJD32 "the man", for all intents and purposes, down in Duval. (And maybe, just maybe, I'll start to see a bit more production out of my boy Greg Jones down there in J'ville...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It seems like every mock draft I've seen recently has the Lions picking Stafford. A few weeks ago, seemingly every one had Andre Smith going to Detroit at #1. I'd be fine with either, but I think addressing the line is more important than a young QB that'll more than likely end up in Harrington-ville. I do, however, like that Laurinaitis is picked to land in Detroit at #20. I'd buy a Roadwarrior Animal Jr. jersey in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's a sad day for Saints fans even though we knew it was coming. They've officially released Deuce McAllister. Deuce was a warrior on the field and a class act off it. I understand players come and go and there are few I actually miss but Deuce will be one of them.I've often wondered, does Keion Carpenter still have an imprint of Deuce's helmet on his chest?

Many fans do, as well (of all teams, not just the Lions). Look...Culpepper ain't the best QB in the world, but at least he's somewhat serviceable. Why don't the Lions try to build inside out? Sure, "sexy" picks and skill-position offensive players put fans in seats...but far too often too many fans are out of touch with how a successful team should be built...from the inside out, on both sides. Get a good line, and even a half-decent QB can make some plays. It's all about pass protection and TIME. Same on the defensive side...get a good D-line that can run-stuff and get a good pass rush, and watch your 'backers (and safeties) make some plays. Helps out the CBs, too.Look at Cleveland...how has Joe Thomas worked out for them? Just one example I can think of. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Monroe's probably a better pro prospect anyway. /Would be happy with any of the big 3 or 4 offensive tackles, and hopes the Rams don't take Crabtree.

They're basically treated as easily replaceable scrubs. If I'm a kicker I'm taking the cash, especially if it's from a :censored:ty team. Because nobody is paying attention to you anyway.
