Love the graphic--LOL- and the sentiment is well earned!!!
I have no idea, and so far haven't heard any commentary out of Dallas about it---will listen and relay any info!
6' 7" with arms extended closes a lot of passing lanes. Just food for thought.
Yeah, he could tip some passes and produce some interceptions..even with one bad eye.
Harrington...he's got better stats...as long as I get Atlanta's defense instead of Detroit's. By the way, did you see how Atlanta's management has totally bought into the Ron Mexico disease by drafting yet another wide receiver in the first round (two years in a row plus the acquisition of Peerless Price)i.e. if Vick's stats aren't good it must be the wide receiver's fault. Next year when Vick is unable to read defenses and continues to run first, pass last there will be more excuses. Isn't it interesting that Peerless Price caught 94 balls for 1252 yards with Buffalo in 2002. Last year, as Vick's primary target he caught 45 balls for 575 yards...must be the water. Yet Vick gets the endorsements and Drew Bledsoe gets nothing. Vick is too busy running to see his receivers. When was the last time a running quarterback won the SuperBowl? If running quarterbacks are so valued why was Matt Jones drafted as a reciever? He had better collegiate rushing numbers than ol' Ron Mexico.
Barber was a solid runner with Minnesota. Probably the best of a good group of 3RB's there on a run oriented team.
Because Jones doesnt have nearly the arm or the accuracy that Vick showed at one time in college...
Price seems to drop 2 out of every 5 balls and not only that, but he seems to have lost at least a half step, maybe more because he does not get any separation from the defenders anymore like he did when he was with Buffalo.
I think Vick's numbers will very closely parallel Donovan McNabb's here sooner or later....
Harrington is going to be a backup this year.
That said, Orlovsky was a good 4 year starter at UConn and got his team to its first bowl game(Motor City), and won it.
Thanks. Maybe the plan is too run Barber and Julious both to even the workload. Sounds like a good pick.
When Julious Jones went down with an injury, it was the end of the Cowboy's running game until he returned. I don't know anything about Barber, but the thinking has to be that he's better than Jones's current backups.
Lions trade 4th round 2006 pick to New England for 2005 5th(Orlavsky) and 6th round.
The video I saw on Barber was impressive. Go Cowboys!!
Damn I love College Football!!
PS: You should come down to Austin for the 2006 game here. Austin is one hell of a fun town!
Lions 6th round - Bill Swancutt, Oregon State DE
I was camping, just got back and saw the draft results. DANG, how did the Pack get Rodgers at #24? That was an incredible steal. Steelers did a good job getting Heath Miller. Matt JOnes shouldn't have been picked as early as Jacksonville took him. I can't believe Benson was taken before Williams.
Wait until you notice that Denver took Maurice Clarett in the 3rd round. He was a 5th round back at best and may not be NFL material at all.
I might give it a shot....assuming I can get some tickets...
Ohio State tickets are extremely hard to come by sometimes and I figure that Texas tickets are the same way...
Ohio State will not look the same in 2006 as they will in 2005...
Yes it is. But you can always get tickets from scalpers down around the campus. It's legal there but illegal on campus. But they will cost you, unless you wait until after kickoff? But it's a sacrilege to be late for a College football game.
Two words. Lawrence Phillips...JFK
Obviously, McPherson's intangibles weren't worth the risk.
