Who's Ready For Some FOOTBALL 2011/2012 Season!

Why must the Lions take a WR every year. What a terrible draft pick.

Lamichael James?! Oh heck yeah. Niners are gonna be sweet on Madden. In the nfl too.

Rams taking a chance on Jenkins.  He is super talented, but looks like Pacman pt. 2.  Fisher can be a pretty tough coach, so it will be interesting to see if he can keep him in line.  

Originally posted by nautika96 ^- totally agree. when are they going to shore up that defense. You cant keep trying to play catch up with the score. At least get a RB if youre going to stack the offense. Best was shaky last year. at least they can eat up clock time and rest their defense that way.

They still have LeShoure if he recovers from his injury from last year, but I completely agree on the D, their problem last year wasn't scoring points it was giving them up.

Niners going pure offense so far, LaMichael James is too small to really be Gore's successor but he could be a nice quick 3rd down back.

Originally posted by TheLuckster Redskins gave away way to many picks for RG3....

The bears were super solid last year even, until their RB went down. If he's back to 100%, it might very well take Detroit back out of the playoffs. Totally agree the Lions need some defensive players a lot more than offensive.

when is this draft stuff gonna end? i can understand watching and caring about the first round but come on people!!!!

size doesnt necessarily correlate to power. darren sproles is is 5'7" 195lbs. some say he's barely 5'6". but the guy can squat with the best of them. Gore is still the everything back, jacobs looks like the goal line (but he hasnt been his old self) and it looks like james will be a change of pace. but itll be tough to spread the carries. getting a lineman instead wouldve helped the run game as well and they coulve helped both the passing and run game.

A little confused by the Cousins pick by Washington.  I understand the need to have a quality backup, and I guess the thought is that they can try to develop him and flip him for a draft pick or two next year when they need to recoup some of what they gave up for RGIII.  But won't other teams know this and just lowball them?  Wait, why I am trying to make sense of anything the Skins do?

Originally posted by solocreep Niners picked up faster players cuz alex smith has trouble sustaining drives. Jenkins and James are a scoring threat every time they have the ball. the offense was the weak link last year. arguably still is. But its has improved.

I understand the rationale, and Cousins was good value their, but they gave up so many picks for RGIII, you would think they could have moved that pick to recoup or at least pick some supporting cast.  Now they have two rookie QBs, and a lot of overpaid WRs.  Plus, assuming they do trade Cousins what can they get for a QB that never gets on the field? Kolb, Feeley, and Schaub all showed flashes when they got on the field before they got 2nd Round picks in return.  Seems like the Skins are just expecting Cousins will get a chance either through injury or RGIII struggles.

Not to mention Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Thomas and Christian Okoye.

Originally posted by solocreep Matt Leinart your newest Raider. its a usc reunion. Pryor probably now the #3 QB.

Vilma is out for the year Re: Bounty scandal.  We have been hearing his name prominently featured for the past few weeks, so it's not that surprising.  I am amazed that with the labor agreement last year, the players did not push for a different appeal system.  Not that I think Vilma or the other players should win an appeal, but if they disagree with the punishment handed down by Roger Goodell, they need to appeal to... Roger Goodell?

Originally posted by j_lucky84 Originally posted by solocreep If any one watched blue mountain state, Leinart reminds me of the alex moran character. The talented back up qb, that just wants to party. Lol. LOL I had never made the connection before but it totally makes sense! He's gotta fill his time doing SOMETHING whilst being ineligible for bowl games! haha

Not a bad idea tho. Hold a clipboard and collect millions? Why not?

And Vilma apparently found out about his suspension on SportsCenter. That's some good comissionering there Goodell. Another funny aspect is that the Super Bowl is being played in New Orleans this year while their franchise is reeling. 3 other guys got hit with 3-6 game suspensions as well. Hopefully that's the end of this whole bounty thing.

i read it a few min ago as well....

It's really a shame about Seau.  He was a great player who obviously was dealing with some issues post-football career.  Very sad.
