I didn't even Jonathan Combs was still on the roster, by the way.

he was just resigned this week. hope he has learned to hold onto the ball this offseason. he really hurt himself last preseason

Who gives a sh*t what Parcells says about anything?


you guys want to pull your pants up a bit?

Why is Jerry Jones wearing the same outfit as the coaches? Was he planning on working with the backup quarterbacks or something? Have some dignity and lose the coulats. Be more like this guy:

what a terrific point.. but even guys like thrash sometimes have problems whenthe wind moves the ball around.

remember when george allen had the punting machine re fitted so that the spiral would be left handed (footed?) when we were about to face a lefty punter? man that guy thought of everything
i just remembered, it was donnie anderson when he played with the cards after leaving green bay.. a long time ago.. showing my age LOL

That's a great line, and it sums up his weakness completely.

I'm with all you guys. I think we all are a fan of his speed but his decision making has to be better and for god sakes find the 2 limbs that are attached to your arms called hands.

I try to pay attention to the NFLE, but I do not get into it that much. I will watch more now that A. Brown is over there, I really think that his speed will be unmatched over there and I think he will learn alot while he is there, hopefully...

I think I saw that March 13th is the first game. Another reason to watch other than Antonio picking up said skills, is Rhein Fire's Drew Henson. Lets hope this loser finally realizes baseball was his calling. The main thing i hate about NFLE is that the skins send those players, and then they all go to different teams, well some of them do. There has to be a way to split the teams so that current players are joined with current teamates.

I agree that they should try to put players on the same team, not only will it help what ever nfle team they are on, but it will also help whatever nfl team they are on by building commarodery(SP). Also make it easyer for fans to know what team they are most interested in.

I know it is easy to pick on Brown but....

If he doesn't run that kick back people would be calling for Gibbs to retire.

This is true, that was one of the instances where he returned the ball with a lot of confidence.

I really and truly believe it's a mental block. Everyone knows how to run under a punt, that's not hard to do physically speaking. It's all in your head, you have to be willing to ignore the oncoming freight trains that are looking to level you. You have to focus. If you're scared and intimidated, you're going to have trouble and that's what appears to be his problem to me. Especially on punts, he's just indecisive and afraid to run forward, so we get a lot of the dancing around.

brown seems to be better suited to return kickoffs.i think the reason you saw so much uncertainity out of him on punt returns that he was getting hang on to the ball drilled into his head,that he wasnt able to just react and try to make a play

on kickoffs where there is usually one big wave of players i like a guy like betts because he runs north and south and can take a pounding.
on punts the coverage sometimes gets strung out a bit and sometimes you can get to the edge and cut upfield.
i still like the b mitch/mike nelms style of returning straight up the field. it takes tremendous courage to do that

[SKINSDUDE]

Well I hope he learns something while he's there. I was upset when he fumbled in that game early in the season. I was so happy that they cut him, but when they brought him back I questioned the decision. He just didn't seem to have his head in the game. I was glad he had a few highlights, but I think they should stick with Betts.
