[Big Tim]

Yeah, what I think Tim meant was that if Vick went down Atlanta would be screwed because it's Joey. But my point is that Schaub hasn't exactly shown he's a winner yet so we'll wait and see who's done the right thing.

Thats right. At least with Schaub they had an accurate guy to play the Mora offence if Vick broke an ankle or something, but Harrington????

He could be good, but I doubt it.

If Schaub were heading to Houston with one R. Bush at RB, we would be talking about them as possible Playoff team. Heres hoping, for their fans sake, they do something in the Draft this year.

I should qualify:

The Mario Williams draft fiasco is forever going to haunt Houtson and Kubiak.

And so it should. Reggie Bush, Leinart, Young and they choose Williams. He wasn't even the best defensive rookie last year imo, A.J Hawk was way better.

BTW who did win defensive ROTY?

houston texans 2nd round pick MLB Demeco Ryans

 

[Mal Meninga]

I'm not defending Houston because I thought they were iddiots for choosing Williams, but at the time both Bush and Young had some major question marks. Right now Bush is being used perfectly in the Saints offense which posess amazing talent and Young has yet to fully prove he's going to be a success as a passer.

But either way i'd take both of them over Williams. I'd say if they were serious about trying to help David Carr they should've picked D'Brickshaw Ferguson.

 

[Mal Meninga]

Just to strike up conversation.... What would you do if you were Oakland?

 

[Stonecutter]

No doubt I would choose Jamarcus Russell.

Dillion is gone from My Pats...but geez with the signings this year we might be lookin at anothr Indy Vs Pats Conference game with hopefully patsnot letting at 16 point lead go this time

 

[Stonecutter]

The Pats are going to be a certainty gun side this year. Thank god they arn't in the NFC

 

[douglasallen91]

and the pats have two first round picks next year as well!

 

[legend]

It's been interesting to watch but the Pats will start the season as favourites over the Colts, who have lost too many players in the off-season, especially on defence.

For the NFC, I see the 49er's coming right back into contention due to a weak division and a weak conference.

 

[Sanchez]

Pats will go all the way. spell it out team DYNASTY

 

[douglasallen91]

panthers release keyshawn johnson (picked two wr's in the draft)

lots of question marks about the pats.

Gatlin has tryout with Buccaneers



TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Olympic 100-meter champion Justin Gatlin, facing a track and field suspension of up to eight years for failing a drug test last summer, is trying to launch a career in pro football as a wide receiver with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"If (his speed) can transfer to football, you have a real threat," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said. "If it can't, then it won't work."
Gatlin, who is participating in the Bucs' rookie mini-camp this weekend, said he last played football during his freshman year at Tennessee. He then concentrated on track, winning the 100 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics and equaling the world record of Jamaica's Asafa Powell at 9.77 seconds.

"This is where I want to be," Gatlin said. "I didn't come here on my high horse, all mighty, and saying give me a locker and let me do what I want to do. I'm starting from the ground up, and that's where I want to start."

Gatlin said he worked out with Arizona and Houston. The Bucs have been the only team to bring him in for a formal workout. The team will decide after this weekend whether to sign Gatlin and bring him back for the club's next mini-camp.

"He won a gold medal. He wants to give this a shot, and this is a good launching pad to see how quickly he picks it up, how natural he is and how far he has to go," Gruden said.

Gatlin faces the suspension following a positive test for testosterone and other steroids at the Kansas Relays last April. His appeal is pending and he said Friday that he has not given up hope of resuming his career as a sprinter.

In the meantime, he will try to make the transition from fastest man in the world to football - as Bob Hayes did more than four decades ago. But he knows there is a lot more to making an NFL team than being the first runner to the finish line.

"Track and field, you go out there and run, you're the fastest guy, that's what it is, you're the fastest guy," Gatlin said. "In football you might have the fastest go route or the sickest cuts out there, but if you ain't what they're looking for out on this field then take a number and get in line."

Does anyone think he could actually get a run this year?
