I concur. For his rookie season he was outstanding. Now can he do it again or even better now that teams have 16+ games of him and the offense on tape?Quote:

They have all week to disect the previous weeks tapes. I don't think that there are many surprises. When Bush was doing good, teams caught on pretty quick and planned for him.
It's not like any team has a sudden revelation at the end of the year like "Hey... that Bush guy is pretty good! We should have accounted for him in our gameplan"!
maybe afterwards they can compare size...Quote:
Bengals' Johnson to race horse
Posted: Thursday May 31, 2007 10:05AM ET
Bengals WR Chad Johnson will race against a horse on June 9 at River Downs. To benefit the charity "Feed the Children," Johnson will try to match strides with a 4-year-old colt named Restore the Roar over RD's turf course. The event, billed as "Man vs. Beast," will be the feature race and will be simulcast to more than 400 outlets across the country and in South America. The horse will break from the inside from a starting gate at the eighth pole, and Johnson will break from the outside rail going 11/16 of a mile to the wire. The distances are calculated to create a photo finish.
wonder if they will wear different colored jerseys so we can tell them apart.
Chad Johnson is strange....Quote:

He could be doing the "hey look at me dance" naked and I wouldn't care as long as it is for a charity which this is for. Any money he raises for that charity is more than they had before and that is A+ in my book.
That's true. Charity work gets a pass. No doubt he'll enjoy the exposure though.
seems like chad does his antics for fun though and not so much for ego like T.O... maybe I got him wrong...racing a horse? from the net I see horses average about 28 to 30 mph...thoroughbreds can get up to 35, michael johnson "world's fastest man" runs like 28 mph and while I don't doubt ocho could run faster than him, he definitely can't do it for 11/16ths of a mile...maybe for a 15 yard post route. ocho ftl in this one
I did not mean strange in a bad way....more like strange in a strange way
I like chad, he's arrogant but in a funny/likeable way.

Today is June 1st. It should be interesting soon. Who is due huge roster bonuses or salaries? Who will not be allowed to work out or do team drills? Who will end up signed with the Raiders?

Oh man I forgot about the cuts! The big one here in Detroit is Damien Woody. He's do a huge roster bonus and such, but has been a huge bust coming from being a pro bowler in New England.
They have McCown as their starter I believe.Quote:

So far the only J1 cut is Kelly Herndon? Cmon NFL, pick up the pace. I wanna see Kris Jenkins get cut!:D

Yea... any QBs dream come true! LOL!
If he thought that he had it tough behind Dallas's O-line, he'd have another think coming behind the Raider's overly porous line.
I actually think that Bledsoe is still a decent QB... but he's an absolute pilon and needs at least decent protection. He never got that in Dallas, and the Raiders are 10x worse.
Watching Raiders games and watch the QB with ZERO time was a bad joke last year. I can't ever remember seeing an offensive line perform so badly... I mean it was really ridiculous... no QB can overcome that.
The Raiders need to make some serious moves in free agency for their line... or it'll be another year like last year... minus Moss of course.
And a young QB that they will be grooming to be the franchise QB may have his confidence shattered and his body broken... forever.
I agree...he should go for it.Quote:

As a Phin fan, I welcome Green to the team. They desperately have needed a quality QB ever since Marino retired. But... now they have to aquire some much better linemen to protect him.
I realize that Green isn't the long term solution. He only has a few quality years left in him. But he's a definite upgrade... especially since Culpepper seems to still be recovering from his knee injury and may not even stay on the team at any rate. Green is a good temporary fix until a better long term solution can be found.
Miami's D is still pretty top notch. And the aquisition of Porter in the offseason helps too. Porter coming off one edge, and Taylor coming off the other aught to give offenses nightmares. They are still lacking a shutdown corner though.
With a good QB, decent recievers and a running back (i.e. NOT Ricky Willaims), they are only really missing better linemen on offense.
This *may* be a decent year for Miami (providing they get help on the O line).
now watch culpepper go to atlanta.... since vick will be suspended, no one else on the market is on his level.
