Its good for a head coach to devise a "mission statement" for the season. Burn the boats is fairly out there. Hope no one takes it literally.

Thanks, Chris Snee, for all you've done. Don't listen to Storm, he likes to debate.

lol

This rating is based on "out route" attempts and outcomes. So Nicks running too many fly patterns wouldn't matter. I think the league caught up to that shorter, back shoulder pass he used to throw. DB's are expecting it.

• At his worst when throwing the out route (-7.3) that's troubling. he used to own the out pattern. tired arm or not enough protection to finish the route?

yeah. the shadow of sehorn still looms in the hearts of some giants fans.

Kick returning is almost obsolete so that leaves punt returns. Yeah, whomever is best at it. #10 does it on the Eagles and last I looked he was pretty valuable.

The recent Giants have set a very low bar for "surprised" in the linebacker role.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11078730/kansas-city-chiefs-release-cornerback-brandon-flowers KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Cornerback Brandon Flowers, a six-year starter, was released by theKansas City Chiefs on Friday. Flowers played in his first Pro Bowl last season. Flowers had been absent from the Chiefs' offseason practices this year, indicating he was unhappy playing in Kansas City. The Chiefs shifted him to nickelback last season in obvious passing situations. Marcus Cooper, the third cornerback last season as a rookie, has replaced Flowers in the starting lineup during offseason practice. Flowers had been a solid player for the Chiefs until 2013, when he had perhaps his worst season despite making the Pro Bowl. New general manager John Dorsey favors bigger cornerbacks and the 5-foot-9 Flowers struggled in the Chiefs' new defensive system, which often called for Flowers to cover bigger and more physical receivers. "We appreciate Brandon's contributions to the team over the last six seasons," Dorsey said in a statement. "It's in the best interest of the club and the player to part ways at this time. We wish him nothing but the best as he continues his career." Flowers commented on his release on Twitter.

stop the crazy talk.

I know who you mean. Tommy Maddox? He went on to win a playoff game for the steelers

spmebody reads this forum... Dan Marino And Shannon Sharpe Have Been Fired From CBSKristin Bowser CBS has just announced that studio analysts Shannon Sharpe and Dan Marino won’t be returning this fall for its NFL pregame and halftime shows. So who does CBS have in mind to replace these guys? At least one new face you’ll be seeing on The NFL Today come this football season is former Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez. Sharpe has taken to Twitter to express his thoughts on the matter.

My first reaction (I remember it like it was yesterday) to Dave Brown's signing was "Duke plays Football?"

I think GA4M hit the nail on the head. He changed when his kid got in the league. He was no longer objective. Now he comes off as bitter.

Phil was done. He'd had a 14 year run, the early years were really rough on him too. Didn't Cleveland offer him a job and he didn't show?

both of them, right? yeah i used to like him as a commentator. somewhere along the line he got lazy. he seems to phone it in sometimes and then say something dumb to get press. most of the CBS NFL team is like that.

I have no use for Phool Simms or his thoughts. He tries to make his career relevamt by criticizing others.

Is that Hoss behind OJ?

Smith was making quite a bit when they went to championship in 12

Yeah, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. But it makes little sense to invite a head case into camp. There's plenty of arms you can employ that have heads attached correctly.

agreed, Schiano was a jerk.
