I'm Shawne Merriman, I'm feeling great now I'm over my injuries and I now have a chip on my shoulder and I'm ready to prove the doubters I'm still an elite player.

Question:

I'm Leslie Frazier.
I believe the Vikings are still in a win now phase and not yet ready to rebuild. How long do you give the veterans and more inparticular McNabb time to prove they can get it done before finding out what kind of talent Ponder is?

I'm Plaxico Burress, why did I choose to stay in New York when clearly everyone was there to get me?

Im Plaxico Burress.
I was not aware of the laws in New York city regarding guns. if i was i wouldnt have taken it to the nightclub. I was a political pawn at the time. you saw the mayor. but i hold no grudges agains the city nor the lawmakers. this was my mistake. i have owned it.. did my time and thats it.
I chose New York because i like the city. New York baby. You cant play in a better city. I chose the Jets because i want to play with Santonio Holmes, Ladanian Tomlinson and Mark Sanchez. I also loved watching Rex Ryan on hard Knocks. yeah we got TV in prison. what of it?
I also want to be the first Giant and Jet to win a superbowl.

Im Leslie Frazier and im in another world if i think i can win now... but given i am in another world, id have to give the veterns this year, and no longer, if they cant get it moving to a level where they deserve a 2nd crack this year, then its time the rebuild
And at some point if McNabb isnt doing it, i gotta give Ponder some time to show us he's ready to lead the franchise behind Peterson and Harvin

Im the Eagles Front Office, we've got Mike Vick on a franchise tag and D-Jax under paid. Who gets paid first and does Jackson get the top 10 WR money he's almost certainly after?

I'm the Eagles Front Office and I don't pay either yet.

Mike Vick had a great year but lets see if he can back it up. He has a tendancy to get injured and I've now got a replica back up who is younger, stronger and bigger and potentially more durable. If he can get his head right, he may be my QB of the future in this system.

With Desean, he may be an explosive player but he has only caught 40% of his passes thrown his way in his career. If he wants top 10 WR money then he needs to make more catches. Top 10 WR's in the league all have over 75+ receptions, something Jackson has never done.

I'm Marvin Lewis. My job may be unsafe after yet another year of failure. I have a young QB at the helm that has looked shaky. Do I bring in the vet in Bruce Gradkowski or try and get Carson Palmer to come back.

I'm Marvin Lewis. I bring in Gradkowski and have him as the starter, with the young QB as second string. I don't bring back Palmer as he is the only thing worse than poo. I also join every religion known to man and start praying to every deity that Gradkowski comes good.

I'm Mike Tomlin. I have one of the best clutch QBs in the game with a great set of WR's to throw to. However said QB is prone to error and cost us the Superbowl last year with costly interceptions. I also have a RB coming off his best year yet, however he also came up with a costly error in the Superbowl. Do I base my offense mainly around the passing game or try and continue to build on the running game that has been steadily improving over the years?

Im Mike Tomlin and im placing my faith in the guys who's already won, what is it? 3 SB rings in his career?
Im saying to myself "come on man, how can you doubt the man!"
Sure he's a loose cannon off the park and he does make mistakes but he also wins football games and when the game is on the line, thats who's hands i want the ball to be in.
We are a running team first and foremost so Mendenhall will get his licks but if we need something to happen, im going to Ben, Wallace, Ward, Miller and the pass game. Its what has got me my rings.


Im a Texans fan, should i be worried about Arian Foster being a one year wonder?

I'm a Texans fan and I am worried about Arian Foster. I'm not worried about injury or anything like that. I'm worried about losing my Pro-Bowl FB in Vonte Leach. He was so good last year in opening holes for Foster and I just don't think James Casey or Lawrence Vickers have that same POP. I also think that Kubiak is in the Shanaghan school of zone block running and I think he'll use a lot of backs this year including last years Round 2 pick Ben Tate.

I'm a Carolina Fan. Do I want Cam Newton starting for my team right away?

Yes. If any of the other options on your team were remotely interesting the answer may be no. But given the choice between Newton and Clausen you take Newton 10 times out of 10.

I'm Andrew Luck, should I be annoyed that I just pissed away a huge amount of money? I would have gone #1 overall this past draft, and the next one will have a rookie wage scale

Im andrew luck and damn right im annoyed, sure fire #1 pick, and ive just given up a ton of money. Carolina was a good spot for me and god knows where ill end up next year. Probably not a team with a good running game, solid D and Steve Smith to throw too.


Im Ndamukung Suh, ive been fined AGAIN for hits on the QB. Im trying to be aggressive and finish my plays. Do i need to rethink the way i play this game?

I'm Ndamukung Suh and I say hell to the no! I play the way I play and if I start to second guess myself I wont be finishing off tackles. Stick to what works, a fine is fine by me.

I'm Michael Crabtree and my career is falling to pieces in this craphole that is Ninersville. If i finish this season with another ridiculously disappointing year do I try to get a change of scenery?

I'm Ndamukung Suh and while I may tweak my game slightly, I largely don't change it. The game is for men, not pansies, and even though players like myself and James Harrison will get targeted for our style of play, I won't change the style that saw me have a stellar rookie season.

I'm the general manager of the Eagles. It all goes horribly wrong. We fail to make the finals this year. Not only that, we finish in the bottom four teams in the NFL. Do I make more mass roster changes next year or stick with the team I've got in hopes they put it all together next year?

I'm the Eagles and the majority of our roster is tied up for this year and beyond.

However I have a LOT of 1 year contracts in this team.

My concern is about team chemistry and injuries.

I stick with what we have and try to bring back the best 1 year guys.

I'm the Dolphins organisation. Do I trust Chad Henne to make progress?

Im the Dolphins. Absolutely not. I gotta find another option surely. How far did we get in that Orton deal? Cant we get back to Broncos on that? We've got a good WR core, we trust in Daniel Thomas and Reggie Bush but we've got no one to push it down the field, and i dont care how publically we support Henne, privately we know we're not on to a winner here. Maybe we go with him this year and with an ounce of luck (teehee) we'll wind up in the Andy Luck sweeps


Im Tom Coughlin, what the hell am i going to do at CB? No Prince, Not Thomas. Ross as my best wide out in a division with Maclin, Jackson and Bryant, Austin.

I employ a "bend and not break defence". Plenty of Safety help, and hope to god my ends can put pressure on the QB...... otherwise, maybe I ask Deion to come back !!!!

I'm Tony Sporano: Reggie Bush, feature back or situational guy?

I play bush as a situational guy only he's proven he cant carry the load & stay healthy & has proven to most effective with a lighter load, plus i used a 2nd rder in this past draft on daniel thomas to carry the bulk of the workload allowing bush to do what he does best

I'm John Fox who do i start at qb & why Kyle Orton, Brady Quinn or Tim Tebow?

Very nice question there, but my name isn't Josh McDaniels, So Tebow is out! Kyle Orton fits my system like a glove. I made Jake Delhomme look like a million bucks, Orton can be my new Delhomme. Hes a solid guy thats not going to turn it over easily. So the answer, Undoubtedly is Kyle Orton.

I'm the Chargers owner, If Norv fails to win a playoff game this season, do I cut my losses and move on?

Im The Chargers Owner (spanos i think...)

John Gruden Jeff Fisher and Bill Cowher have already been contacted should Norv not be successful this year.
He will last the entire season however.
we're confident of a good year.
Providing its not down to Nate's Leg.



You are the Miami Dolphins Ownership

How many times a day do you rue not signing Drew Brees when he was a FA at the end of 05?

I cry myself to sleep every night regarding that one.

You are the 49ers GM, do you re-sign Frank Gore to DeAngelo Williams money or do you hope that Anthony Dixon and Kendall Hunter are the heirs apparent?

Im the 49ers GM, and surprisingly, i think i let Gore walk
I like what i see of Dixon and Hunter, and whilst i respect Gore for all he's done for the franchise he's gone the wrong way about it and his injury history isnt great. We're not an organisation that is going to dish off dollars like Williams got unless we're sure you've earnt it. We're not sure you have and we're in a good spot where we like the options behind Gore. If Gore wants to come to the party on a deal roughly 3/4ths of what Williams got, we'll talk. Until then, we're rolling with Hunter and Dixon.

You're the Browns GM, is Colt McCoy franchise QB for the future?

I will make that assessment at the end of this year. I've brought in Pat Shurmur as HC and he did some great work with Bradford and the Rams offense, I think he will get the best out of McCoy. He's got some young talent around him now in Watson, Little, Robiskie, Massaquoi. I don't expect him to be a pro-bowler this season, but I want to see progress. If my team is picking in the top 5 again next season I think I pull the trigger on a franchise QB. I have question marks regarding his arm strength and whether it is sufficient to win in this league.


I'm Fred Jackson, I worked your ass off behind Marshawn Lynch and ended up out-producing him, last season I put up good numbers, much better than Spiller. In the most recent preseason game the HC puts Spiller in as the starter, he doesn't fair too well yet all reports are that they are most keen to get him involved for this upcoming season with significant touches. Also, the team has yet to offer me a contract extension. What do I do?
