Maroney always looks like he's running against a 40 MPH wind.

Got to sit first row at the Cardinals-Packers game tonight. First observation, the Cardinal cheerleaders are hot...real hot.

Let's see...in terms of football, I was high on Fitzgerald coming into the season. For anyone thinking of drafting him, make sure you'll be comfortable doing so without Warner playing all year. Warner has too much confidence in his line...he fumbled twice because of it tonight and in the regular season the defenses are gonna jack him up. That being said, Leinart is looking better than he has in the past. In much better shape this season and his accuracy is good.

For the Packers, Finley will be starting at tight end before too long and will provide great value in the draft based on where he's going.

Overall upgrades based on what I saw - Driver, Finley, Leinart (as a handcuff of course), Rodgers (although I think his current ADP is accurate)

Downgrades - Grant (didn't run with the explosion I had hoped), Fitzgerald (still a late first rounder but he seemed to have to work way to hard to make plays; a healthy Boldin will help this in terms of stealing some of the focus, but then of course take some catches away so it's a wash), Warner (dude isn't going to last and Rodgers was more accurate then he was), Arizona Defense (would rather have no defenses in a DM draft versus having them...they're that bad)

That's it for now...and again, the cheerleaders were on fire.

OH OH?!?

Brady going for MRI as we speak. He looked fine after the hit, but who knows?

Yeah, brady landed hard on his right shoulder last night. he was moving his arm overhead and throwing passes on the sidelines afterwards. still, the play he was dinged up on looked bad.

packers-cardinals. didn't see the game. not sure if warner has too much confidence in his o-line, i think it's more he's just known to hold onto the ball too long. just my opinion. rodgers way too undervalued by most last year, this year everyone's getting it right.

pats-redskins- it never looks like moss is running full speed when he runs by a cornerback. the only wr brady didn't appear to be in sync with was galloway. maroney- broke some tackles last night and had some nice plays in the open field- he might have a chance because defenses have to respect brady and the wrs .

As far as Welker goes he is nursing an "undisclosed" injury.

[/QUOTE]Not sarcastic,i just missed his stats,and didnt notice him in what i saw on tv.My bad,thanks for posting.

And i went to the STEELER bills game last night.
Buffalos no huddle approach seems out of sinc right now,Lee Evans was not involved,Lynch looks pretty good,too bad he is a moron and wont play until week 4.
And roscoe Parrish was in with the starters,and also playing with the scrubs late in the 4th.Not sure if that means he needs reps or they have no depth or they are considering cutting him and wanted to give him an extended look to make the team.

1, forte is going to rock and roll with a real qb on the team. 15 td floor with 55-65 receptions. vegas morning line favorite to lead all rb's in scoring

2. maybe it's just me, but cutler looks like he's a hungover frat boy!!

LOL!

I gotta say the Cutler trade might rank as one of the worst in football history. Orton is a noodle-arm and defenses just press the WR's cause they know he can't throw it farther than.....well SNAKE
