That sums up my feelings on reading this. I have to say that this is the first death since the Owen Hart thing that truly shocks me, as I thought he had gotten his life under control.
-
LT is just a freak of nature and a football god. Priest Holmes was good but not durable and the Chiefs now rely on a bigger back in Larry Johnson.
-
Critics hate Bush and he gets to keep his job. Critics love Arrested Development and its on the brink of being canceled. I hate this world.
-
The man on my TV was wrong. It was his 4th this season, but first since the USC game.
-
Its what the man on my TV said.
-
Brady Quinn throws his first INT of the season.
-
yes, but the players at South Carolina had Lou Holtz coaching them before he moved on. The Gators players had Ron Zook coaching them. I think its safe to say the South Carolina players were better coached before the new coaches came on-board. Gators players are still learning to break bad habits while picking up Meyer's system. Spurrier just has to worry about keeping his team out of fights and legal trouble *L*
-
this is far worse than anything I ever came up with
-
They might want to wait until Urban Meyer brings in his recruiting class before complaining. He's still basicaly working with Zook recruits.
-
Brian Calhoun is a good back, but not worth a first rounder and you can guarentee another back will be drafted in the first round after Bush. Anyways, picks 21-25 are up.

The OaO Arrested Development Season 3 thread
Failed Bridge replied to Gary Floyd's topic in Television & Film
some other network will pick it up (NBC most likely due to the show's ties with Larry David). Fox doesn't know what quality TV is anymore and that's why they're at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the major stations. -
I expect more from the President than I do of your run-of-the-mill politician though.

There's my favorite FSU reciever dropping a pass. I really hope the Pats draft him one day so we can look on the bench and see a Gay-Fagg duo.
-
The next time Bush does something positive for this country will be the first time.
-
The FSU/Clemson game makes me wonder even more what the hell is up with BC and the ACC overall. The Eagles can beat Clemson on the road but get demolished in the last 6 minutes against FSU at home after leading for much of it. Now Clemson is rocking FSU at home.
-
FSU/Clemson is on right now on ESPN. Clemson is just doing whatever it wants to at the moment on the offensive side of the ball.
-
Like Bored said there's a good chance of a Louisville/Florida St Gator Bowl. Some other teams Louisville might be looking at are Boston College, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Cal, and Arizona St in a lesser bowl game. I don't see Virginia Tech being involved with Louisville.
-
Weight issues aside I just don't find him too impressive. There are backs his size, but not many very good ones. Michael Bennett comes to mind when I think of DeAngelo Williams.
-
Texas Tech @ Oklahoma St is going to be a great game. I hope somebody on regular TV decides to pick it up.
-
http://www.fftoolbox.com/ I use it to check updated player profiles and when certain players are elligible (always minus a year from the one they say (since they have everybody leaving as a senior) to find the elligibility) for the draft.
-
He might not rack up the yards but defenses take him serious when he does come out of the backfield. Maroney's going to limit your options there. I think the Jets would be best served grabbing Mike Bell in round 2 or taking a flyer till next year when there are going to be quite a few stud RBs. If LenDale White comes out early then they'd grab him, but as of right now from the things I've read he's leaning towards staying for his senior year. Williams came into the season weighing 217. He's at 205 at the moment according to an updated prospect site I hit up.
-
Swing passes and the occasional screen count too.
-
DeAngelo Williams is only 205lbs and has problems breaking tackles and doesn't have great cutback skills. I think he has the potential to be a bust in the NFL, but based off his numbers right now he's the #3 back. I don't know if the Jets would really be interested in Maroney. They use the RB as a recieving threat out of the backfield pretty often in that system and Maroney doesn't have good recieving skills at this moment. If they took him then it would limit their playcalling quite a bit since they can't send him downfield with much confidence.
-
I'm not taking trades into consideration though, that's the thing. I agree that the Jets could possibly trade the pick away to fix something, but I'm not going to speculate to which team and for who. I'm just going by the order and team needs. If the Jets got an Alge Crumpler-esque TE that ran people over and was about as automatic as one can get in the endzone then I doubt any Jets fans would cry.
-
Not for Reggie Bush, and I forgot that when you draft you look for pure athletes and not football players. I'll have to look at the Jets model of drafting since they've been so succesful in the past. Oh, and you're right about it being a halfway point draft. At the halfway point that's where the Jets are. You're talking about the end of the season, not me. This draft gauges where teams are going to be around in draft order when the season is over, and if their spot stays the same what they'll be choosing. By the way, watch DeAngelo Williams and read scouting reports rather than just looking at mock drafts. You might learn something. I feel that Vernon Davis will be the top TE coming out of this draft. Marcedes Lewis is a top flight TE too. You could probably flip a coin with the two, but my personal opinion is that Vernon Davis is better. Lets take a look at the Jets needs though. 1.) QB - There's nobody at their spot (where they're slated now in this mock) worth that pick. 2.) TE - The team does not have one capable of doing anything. Its been a weakness for a loooooong time 3.) O-Line - They're not great, but they're ok if Mawae can return 4.) RB - Curtis Martin is probably 2 years away from calling it a career. He still has something left though if they don't depend completely on him. 5.) WR - Coles is nothing special, Chrebet is retiring, and McCarens(sp?) is solid but not a #1. Still, there's no outstanding WR worth this pick. Vernon Davis is a great TE that I feel will be similiar to Alge Crumpler when he fully develops. He's got amazing hands and can just run people over.
