RevanA4 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Cowboys will be scary on Defense this year. they were good last year after switching to a 3/4 defensive front. and offense might me just as scary with, Terry glen, TO, and keshan (sp?)

Jeff Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 But I saw a thing this morning on sportscenter that showed all the cowbodys WRs, and besides Glen and TO, the other recievers didn't even have 50 catches combined for their careers. So that will put a lot of pressure on those 2 others. I hadn't been keeping up with them but they didn't include keyshawn johnson in the list, so i'm guessing he's gone.

Jae Onasi Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 this could be the bears' year. No. 1 defense, strengthening passing game, top 10 running game. we could have it all this year. i hope to see us going deep into the playoffs. hey, maybe we'll even make a superbowl appearance or take home a big, shiny trophy. If the offensive line can protect our QBs and our receivers can catch balls without dropping them, we have a decent chance. We've got some good RBs this year and the Bears are always better as a running team. We need our cornerbacks to be able to keep up better, too. Tillman got outrun quite a bit last year. They're not quite as fast as I'd like to see, but then again, if they can make big plays like Vasher, maybe the only thing they'll have to do is run fast towards the endzone after the interception. We'll see how it goes this Friday against the 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimartin Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 and offense might me just as scary with, Terry glen, TO, and keshan (sp?) Keyshawn Johnson was released by the Cowboys during the off season and signed with the Carolina Panthers. I think Dallas can handle only one bad boy at a time. Your right Dallas should still have a very good team even without Keyshawn. If Terrell Owens can down size his ego for the betterment of the team that is. I hate Roy Williams (the DB) because he is from ou, but he is a great defensive player and to me makes their whole defense work. This is great for Cowboy fans, but bad for me as my very favorite NFL team is the one beating the Cowboys that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how it goes this Friday against the 49ers. We signed Brian Greise, an estabolished vet QB. Maybe he'll take over Grossman's slot if he learns the offense and plays well enough. At least he'll be very good insurance. Also, Lovie and the rest of the Bears seem to be pretty optimistic about their young receivers stepping up and improving their games this year. Maybe our now more experienced corners will be able to get up to speed or at least compensate. All we can do is hope the offensive line will focus a bit more than last year. You're right though, we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. The Panthers, Colts, Broncos, Cowboys, Steelers, Seahawks, Pats, and Cheifs will also be interesting to watch this year.

T.Nova Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm actually looking at some of the younger, but more exciting teams this year. The Bengals, Giants, Dolphins, and Cardinals all have some established players on them. Chances are Alexander and the Seahawks will fall victim to that Madden cover curse trend, you know how it is. Well anyhow I'm hoping my Vikings have an awful season so we can pick up Brady Quinn or someone in next year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think that is the most underrated off-season acquisition this year, the Carolina Panthers picking up Keyshawn that is. Steve Smith is hands down the most dynamic wide reciever in the league right now, and with Keyshawn on the team, it will prevent other teams from doubleteaming either wideout. Also with Keyshawn they get a more physical reciever to help pick up blocks downfield for DeShawn Foster. Carolina could have a breakout year this season.

Cygnus Q'ol Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 "Tonite's the night. It's gonna be alright..." Unfortunately for the fans, preseason is just a tease. Lovie has already said he's only going to play Rex and most of the starters for only about 20 plays. The reason for this is two fold. 1). We need no more injuries. 2). The coaching staff gets to take longer looks at the rookies and free agent hopefuls in game situations. We'll probably see a bland, watered down game as Turner has mentioned that he doesn't want to expose too much too soon. Basic sets only. It's more of the offense just getting into a rhythm and working on eliminating mistakes. Adrian Peterson will get the nod at running back tonite as Jones and Benson fight for a spot on the injury bench. I want to get a good look at Griese tonite and see what 5mil gets ya. We may see alot of Orton as well. He's pissed off and wants to show what he's got. I hope he's learned how to move his feet a bit faster. I hope they can control Mike Brown tonite or there may be a homocide. He's itchin' to hit people as he didn't get to fill his quota from last year. He must catch up. Rookies to watch: Danieal Manning- Safety Dusty Dvorcek- D tackle Devin Hester- Punt returner Runnels- Fullback IT'S BEAR SEASON BABY! Whoooooooooooooo! I'm gonna have to settle down a bit. The game isn't until 9pm my time. I think I'll go work on my Campus Legend in NCAA '07. Cygnus has taken over Madison. Campus popularity and GPA are through the roof. Not to mention, he's won the Heisman as a quarterback two years in a row. Last year as a Sophomore he finally won his first National Championship. This year as a junior, he has his sights set on the school passing records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Lions first preseason game tonight also, we'll see how they look... I was listening to the sportstalk radio the past few days and they had some pretty interesting things to say I thought. Some of you may know the 2 out of the past 3 #1 draft picks for the Lions, both WRs, Charles Rogers and Mike Williams, have been busts so far and have had problems off the field. The Lions have a new coach this year, and these guys on the radio were saying that we'll see if this guy had what it takes to coach here if he does cut one or both of those recievers if they're poor perfomances continue. I think that would really show that he means business and doesn't care about the politics of "you can't cut matt millens #1 picks." We'll see what happens I guess.

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 *Hugz Jae and Jimbo* My People!!! I didn't realize there were any Bucks outside of Ohio (and Tempe:rofl: ) Seriously though, everywhere else seems to be full of people wearing mikuchinigon colors and begging for a beating. Nagihcim is the Dark Side:xp: hmmm...what was the topic again? Stupid paint vapors:xp: Ahh yes, now I remember, ahem.... "Behold! As I was creating an artistic masterpiece from a previously uncared for domicile this morn, the chemically diverse evaporants (no doubt laced with midichlorians) seemed to rise from the walls and various decorative trimpieces as if lifted aloft by a thousand and five flying tigers, soaring juggernauts with an unstoppable momentum not of this world, I was instantaneously pulled crashing through the dimensional barriers and slit through the nets of time, I found myself in an unbeliveable realm where I could instantly comprehend the entirety of sporting history past, present, and even a few seconds past the beginning of a sport surpassing football, I ground to a halt at one particular moment... I stood motionless as the clock ran out and an eternal army of orange and black rushed as a single civilization ending wave crashing onto a field of green to enjoy the spoils of a Superbowl Championship, and as a young woman wearing only a blue and yellow sweater got down on her knees and slowly undid the fly of my scarlet and grey shorts I looked upon my upcoming football season...

Jae Onasi Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well, Bears lost in pre-season play. I didn't see most of the game because we were waiting for the parking lot at Six Flags to clear out enough to even pull out of the parking spot. However, I listened to WBBM radio and it sounded like Grossman couldn't get anything really going. They only had something like 29 running yards--don't know if that's because they were working on the pass game or not. Griese looked good, however. @RJM--I spent 5 years wandering the campus of OSU before they finally decided to give me the sheepskin, claiming that I needed to go be a productive member of society. As for the more 'fantasy' part of the post... "Paging Mr. RJM. Padded room 2 of Hotel Asylum is now available. Please report to padded room 2 at this time."

Bob Lion54 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'm not sure if Bush will bring that much success to the Saints. The NFC South is a pretty fast division. I never thought of the PAC-10 as a particulary athletic conference, I believe that much of Reggie's success at USC was due to the fact that he could virtually outrun most of the players in the PAC-10. Well, I'm watching the Saints game right now. Bush is fast. There was a toss to the left but he had defenders in his face. So, he cuts to the right and gets across the field breaking into the open for a 44yard gain. Yea, he's fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.Nova Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yep.. I just read an article on NFL.com on him. It'll still be interesting to see Bush up against a team like Atlanta and their DBs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevanA4 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 O.O looks like the cowboys have a back up QB that can actually play this season. Tony Romo lead them to a 13 - 3 victory over the Seahawks last night XD and the packers looked worse than last year O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 and the packers looked worse than last year O.O Oh, I'm devastated that the packers look worse.[/sarcasm] Go Bears! IIRC, the Bears open the season at Green Bay. Favre's been a tremendous future hall-of-fame QB, but he's in trouble if the O-line can't keep the pocket from collapsing and the receivers can't catch.

mimartin Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 However at the Rose Bowl, Reggie actually confronted some fast defence with Texas. And it shows when Reggie only had about 82 yds. Lendale had much more success due in part because of his power. The reason he only had 82 yards is because Pete Carroll went with LenDale White more after Bush’s ill advised fumble. I can understand that, why he was not in there on the forth and one play, even as a decoy, I’ll never understand. Personally I was really glad Carroll limited his touches the rest of the game after the fumble. Everyone remember this is only preseason. The Texans beat the Chief last night and looked good doing it. We all know that’s not going to happen in the regular season. They may win two to five game during the regular season, but they’re not going to look good doing it. Oh and the number one pick in this years draft had ½ a tackle. Way better than Bush or Young. Nice pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
