EVERYONE sucks, even their own team. It’s in the water or something…

I hate that aspect of sports media – people with little to no actually knowledge “call out” players and coaches and don’t have to have one bit of evidence, and suddenly it’s damaged reputations and left them explaining or just biting their lips.

I’d love to see reporting on the media types – let’s analyze JFE’s grammatical errors or JJT’s love life or Tim McMahon’s battle with weight. Let’s speculate on whether they have what it takes to be a leader in the press room. Whose going to get cut from the illustrious ESPN roster? Is that really Kiper’s hair? Is Golic sleeping with Greenberg?

Miles Austin has to top my list, but then it’s Bennett, F Jones and Tash. I really think these are the guys they are going to not only replace TO with, but maybe make the offense even more dangerous than before.

I want to see what he can do along with the rooks behind him

if he would have won 4th and Long.

6 INT, 20 passes defensed.

On Offense, I’m going with guard Greg Isdaner. Scout.com had him ranked as their #8 guard in this draft, as a junior. From his NFL combine bio:

Positives: Tall with adequate lower and upper body builds. Comes out of his stance with fair quickness, gets his hands active right away and is able to push his man down the line when coming off the ball. Strong angle technique, gets to his man’s opposite shoulder and anchors to create a lane or will push his defender so he takes himself out of the play. Extends his arms in pass protection to keep defenders at bay. Uses one hand to help the center while watching for later blitzers if he’s free. Good footwork in space; gets in front of screens and to linebackers at the second level.

Negatives: Plays too tall; must prove he can anchor against stronger NFL tackles. Not dominating as a run blocker, lacking the strength to keep tackles from getting to backs as they go through the hole. Agile in space but has average straight-line speed. Did not play with his hand down much in West Virginia’s offense, so his drive-blocking ability is in question. Choppy in his lateral movement at times. Leans too far into his man when run blocking; can get ripped off or lose his balance. Must work on landing his downfield cut blocks. Missed 2008 spring drills with shoulder surgery.

I would think having Procter and maybe McQuistan ahead of him that this Isdaner kid has a shot at shoving one of those guys aside, or at least making the practice squad.

On defense, I guess I will go with the humangous NT Jonas Seawright. The competition to backup Rat isn’t all that, so maybe he has a chance to resume his career. Plus, he has those cool Chuck Norris-type myths circulating around him.

D-Ware is not taking himself off. I dont buy that, especially in a year where he came so close to the sack record.

i was irritated by ellis’ whining in recent years, but always felt like he was basically a pretty good guy. this episode is not endearing him to me. too bad this is how he wants to be remembered in dallas.
