Post Stat Requests Below. Wednesday will be rookie report and early Pro Bowl Voting Broncos 40 Jets 21 Ravens 14 Browns 9 Packers 24 Panthers 6 Colts 24 Steelers 17 Pats 27 Saints 17 Jags 34 Texans 17 Skins 28 Giants 25 Bills 23 Fins 16 Vikings 34 Bears 10 Falcons 28 Bucs 17 Lions 35 Cowboys 21 49ers 14 Seahawks 13 Chiefs 30 Bengals 24 OT Raiders 31 Chargers 6 Rams 21 Cardinals 15 Titans 28 Eagles 21 Players of The Week Fred Taylor - 45 carries, 264 yards 2 TDs Raiders LB Marcus Penn, 8 tackles 3 sacks. Injuries - Drew Bledsoe, out for season with broken verebrae, I assume that is the last of his NFL career. Jamal Lewis is out for 6 weeks with a dislocated ankle. Jeff Christy is out 11 weeks, likely the season. Al Wilson is out 9 weeks as is Ronde Barber Team Report Cards, A++++++++ - The Vikings are the cream of the NFL crop with Daunte Culpepper on pace for 4500 yards passing, 50 TDs and 2 INTs, AND 122 carries for 1010 yards and 12 TDs. This could be the best individual season in NFL history. Jabar Gaffney is on pace for 121 recs, 1872 yards and 15 TDs , Randy Moss is on pace for 112 recs, 1865 yards and 24 TDs. Which would shatter any WR duo Records. A+ - The Colts are 7-0 Thanks to an up and coming defense Ranked 5th in total yards, 8th against the pass and 7th against the run, Kalimba Edwards has already equaled his rookie season total in sacks with 8. Another 2nd year star DB Mike Rumph is the leader of the Young Secondary. Edgerrin James has been carrying the load on Offense as the Colts are turning to a Dungy-Like Defensive Running team, It seems to be working. A - The 49ers are also doing well (6-1) thanks to David Carr who has a 12-1 TD-INT ratio. Mike Anderson is well on pace for 1400 yards rushing, Santana Moss who is staying healthy and putting up pro bowl numbers, And of Course their #1 ranked Defense in the NFL, lead by Defensive Studs Brian Urlacher (10 sacks) and Champ Bailey (2 picks, they won't throw at him), Also Alex Brown has played very well in his second season, as is becoming the trend for Rookie Defenders. A - The Packers are excelling (6-1) largely in part to the running of Ahman Green and Dorsey Levens (combined for 900 yards and 10 TDs) and the passing game has been coming along slowly with BJ Johnson the leading WR. The Pack's sucess is credited to a 4th ranked Rushing Defense and a 3rd ranked Rushing Offense. A - The Bucs have been great (5-2) even though they have been pounded by Injuries. Most of the Wins have been ugly, they should be mediocre but are finding ways to win, Derrick Brooks (6 sacks, 4 Ints) Anchors the Defense and could be the best OLB in the game. A - The Titans get the last A on the report card thanks to a 5th ranked Offense which is #1 in rushing and Dead last in Passing. Even though Eddie George is still out for 2 more weeks, Chrys Chukwama and Najeh Davenport have filled in nicely. Jevon Kearse is having a solid season, as is Danion Sidney. Next Week - B's
No stats request. Just wanted to give props to my man Culpepper, and the rest of the unbeaten squad. To quote Kevin Spacey, I rule.
damn my loser saints. Put them in full tank mode. Lose at all costs. What happens if I get fired? oh, and gimme the stats of my two best defensive players and two best offensive players.
Crisco - I have found a way around the whole coach firing thing, no need to worry about that. Ricky - 134 carries, 660 yards 8 TD, Horny - 26 recs 388 yards 4 TD Rookie Howard Atkinson - 6 sacks, 6 tackles for loss LaRoi GLover - 30 tackles, 5 sacks Also - Saints put in full tank mode. haven - receiving - Rod Gardner - 33 recs, 435 yards 3 TD tackling - Arrington, 47 sacks - 2nd year linebacker Calvin Maguire , 5 sf3 - Marvin - 23 recs 321 yards 3 TD Roy - 19 recs 291 yards 1 TD
Running is the key to success. We have the real TITANium Curtain defense in Tennessee (good catch phrase Nomar, send it to Floyd Reese!) Kearse, Mason, McNair
