I liked the quiet Osi better.

That's pretty amazing. The world feels somewhat smaller to me after reading that.

That boy better be eating. He need to do a "Reverse Jared" if he's gonna move inside.

I don't know about that Fish. I don't watch much college ball so I can't really compare, but it seems to me that players in the NFL are being coached to charge into the opposition using their equipment to knock them down rather than to drop a shoulder into their midsection and wrap up the legs.

I thought it was DFNG's thread for some reason. I'll stop posting now.

The Eagles. I was asking D'fer.

"All Access Osi" sounds more like a personals ad than a footballer.

This? Wonder how much they're paying him? Could work out in the short term if he's healthy.

Good pick-up for a bargain price.

Cheers.

What's a "Tampa 2" defense?

Who have you guys got at DT now?

In fact they'd probably know that as they've only watched the games where the Boys had a winning record late in the season.

Maybe if we had a coach who could teach a proper tackle technique we wouldn't need to worry about such things.

He'll have to pick a new number. His stats look pretty good though. He's consistantly a 15-16 game starter which is something we've been sorely lacking at LB.

I don't care how good the kid is, he's be a luxury for us. We need to focus on defense.

You guys just made me remember how shit we were in the 2006 playoff game. :brooding: God damn that was an awful showing.

I like Blackburn's hustle too and hope he gets his shot. Do we still have Torbor?

Sounds like we could have got him for half what we offered.

You haven't hurt my feelings, sweetheart, but if you're gonna be a dick all the time I feel obliged to point it out.

You've been very abrasive and argumentitive lately, not just in this thread. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed.

Wow Storm, while you were away from the boards you turned into a real dick.

Nolan: Let the punishment fit the crimeESPN.com news services San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan wants to see the NFL adopt a new pass interference rule that gives officials some leeway in handing out punishment. Nolan's plan would let officials decide if a penalty should result in a 15-yard penalty or a harsher, spot of the foul penalty. The current rules state that a defensive pass interference penalty rewards the offense with the ball at the spot of the foul or at the one yard line if the penalty happens in the end zone. Nolan, a former defensive back, points out that with the subjectivity of pass interference calls, it pushes offensive coaches into calling plays that simply try to draw penalties. "You'll see them drop back and throw it vertical," Nolan told the Sacramento Bee. "They'll overthrow the play; they just want the penalty." Nolan appears to be passionate about the topic but so far doesn't expect the issue to get much traction. According to ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli, the NFL's powerful competition committee discussed the pass interference proposal in Naples, Fla. The concept received a lukewarm reception from the committee, which means it probably doesn't have much chance of passing muster with the full league membership at the Phoenix meetings later this month. "You can maim someone, and it's 15 yards," Nolan told the paper. "You can end someone's career, and it's 15 yards. Pass interference -- it's not a reflection of the severity of the crime. It's like getting the death penalty for going 75 mph in a 55 zone." ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli contributed to this report. ----------------------------- Of course, if your team just paid $80 million for a CB I'd want these rules changed too. But he's right, the current state of interference calls is bullshit.

My uncle is a Texans fan (though he's about to give up on them) and he doesn't have anything good to say about this guy. His stats are pretty weak too. Vonta Who?
