That was one of those things where I didn't really like the idea but it really did drum up interest in the Pro Bowl. Maybe a little bit more leniency on Super Bowl participants arriving a day or two before their team but other then that it seemed to work.

With the 18 games though it would mess up the standards for stats and records, not to mention it would shorten the career of certain players. I mean think about it, even if you don't make the playoffs in 8 years you end up playing the equivalent of 9 seasons. I guess maybe if it encouraged coaches to go easier on players in practice it would balance out but still.

Ok, he grabbed a couple TD's in preseason against 3rd and 4th stringers because he's tall.
Thats called Basketball.

Don't get me wrong, I was shouting for playing time for him to since he was outperforming the other young guys...but that is certainly not saying much.

This team needs a legitamate #1 or #2 receiver for McNabb.
We can't wait for the young guys to develop while we cross our fingers....however, we absoutely CANNOT deal with TO...he is an absolute JERK PSYCHO.

Thats the thing though about Mitchell. If he's as talented as I think he is then Shanahan will play him, if not then he'll be on the bench. Remember this is a coach who had Rod Smith and Ed McCaffery as his two best receivers. Not only did he get two post 2nd round guys to produce (with Rod Smith being undrafted) but he got a white guy to the pro bowl as a Receiver. That in and of itself is an accomplishment.
