[quote=skinsfaninok;849080]Hillis is the prime example of a 1 year wonder, how that guy made the Madden cover is beyond me.. What a joke[/quote]
[url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den/2008_draft.htm]2008 Denver Broncos Draftees - Pro-Football-Reference.com[/url] Shanny did draft Hillis , Samuel might be offered too much by other teams for us to make that signing ? Imagine McFadden , Jones and Hillis at Arkansas in the same backfield . Shanny also drafted Kory L. , Torrian and E. Royal in 08 .

[quote=mooby;849050]Stephen Ross sounds like a young Dan Snyder, what with his "all we need is a star head coach and star qb" mentality. That's it Ross, build your team up with stars, look at how well it's working out for the Eagles this year![/quote]

Stephen Ross and Danny Boy indeed see the world in similar ways. Ross is addicted to "starpower" - - even in the owners' suite. He has sold off small fractions of the Dolphins to singers and entertainers and has them hanging around the team for "marketing and promotional purposes". Danny Boy has not gone down that road but has thoroughly explored the path littered with over-the-hill star players and big-name coaches who never seemed to have the same success here that they did anywhere else...

Interesting move, since they could have tried to make a move on Brown in off season.. Brown should help Detroit's running game a little bit.

Re: Around the NFL week 6
 

Based on what I have seen this year, I think Ronnie Brown has about one or two good games left in the tank...

It's about time: I got a real good feeling about this guy...

After leading the Washington Redskins with 11 catches for 141 yards and a touchdown during the preseason and then getting passed over in each of his team’s first four weeks of the season, second-year receiver Terrence Austin finally got a chance to make a play on Sunday.

Anyone else like to see more of Austin?

More Austin and Hankerson...less Stallworth, Gaffney

Re: Around the NFL week 6
 

I think the Titans have signed Chris Horton

I mentioned this on another sight,[B][U]IF[/U][/B] Beck starts next week, I expect to see a bit more of the back up WR's and TE's in the game.
I am not saying the backups will suddenly become starters. But Beck has been working with and creating chemistry with the back up receivers because they play together on the scout team in practice.
The same thing happened when Doug Williams took over for J. Schroeder. Doug Williams and Ricky Sanders were completing passes in the dark because they worked more in practice. So naturally Sanders became a bigger part of the game plan over Clark and Monk because of chemistry.

Re: Around the NFL week 6
 

I'd let gaffney play like he has but not Stallworth

Re: Around the NFL week 6
 

More cowbell, more Austin!

Re: Around the NFL week 6
 

Hillis could not escape that Madden curse. LOL.

But I'd take him. He was a monster for Shanny while he was in Denver, and his skillset is quite broad for a fullback. He's got hands to catch the ball.

Eagles sure have a lovefest with Jerome Harrison. Too bad for Harrison that McCoy is the #1 there.
