All QB's not schooled to be pocket-passers are always going to be more at risk.

That is why I have Brad Johnson and Mark Brunnel backing up.

According to USA Today:
James Thrash (WR-Phi) is out indefinately.

So is Aeneas Williams(S-StL).

Berzerker also beat me to the punch it seems.

Jeff Blake has been looking pretty good.

Will help somewhat with Pennington out.

Reismark, the options/personal is to change my name, not my handle. I tried to change my handle before and I couldn't. Apparently you can have only one handle or re-register completely and as I said, Berzerker is already a handle in use...by me...but I can't use it since my password is lost for good. Is there really a problem with me using my usual handle of Sothisrising?

As I said in the other thread - your name is what I want you to change, so that it matches your handle here.

Well thankfully both are bench players/teams. If St. Louis doesn't work out because of the secondary injuries, there are a few defenses out there that I can easily pick up on the waiver wire as a backup .

I think Dissident caught a good sleeper in Onterrio Smith. Vikes have no choice but to run him, and he looks like he has some skills.

Probably will be the only rookie RB with significant impact this year.

He was pretty awesome here at Oregon...saw a lot of his games. He definitely has the skills to be another Portis type (and he can catch, too). I was planning on picking him up before he went.

What do you have to offer? =)


I just released Dennis Northcutt, his presence in a set of four fairly equal receivers is likely to result in rather sporadic performance.
I picked up Tennessee's Drew Bennett to replace him. Bennett is a #2 wideout and he can be my direct backup to Derrick Mason who is injury prone.

An excellent sleeper pick.

He's definitely a quality back, but I think he won't net a lot of points with Moe Williams getting the goal line carries.
Bennett only scored five TDs last season, while Williams had eleven.

People have been saying that Brunell won't be the starter in a few months. Leftwich has impressed early, even though he missed camp.

Well, I decided to take a risk and drop Kordell Stewart as my backup quarterback in favor of Kyle Boller, who Brian Billick just named Baltimore's starter. It's obvious that Kordell is being set up to fail, and I absolutely love Boller's potential (Baltimore is much better off with Boller under center than they would have been with Redman, IMO). The Ravens could be a really dangerous team this year if everything falls into place, while the Bears have no hope even if Kordell regains his form.

I forgot to pick up Clark after watching him in action with Indy last week on monday night football. He looks like he will take much of the action from the Indy TE I currently have. Good rookie pick.

Those who criticized the Bills' pick of Willis McGahee back in April should be enjoying their finely glazed crow now.

Buffalo traded primary backup Olandis Gary (who had huge previous success behind the Denver line) to Detroit for future considerations today, a move they never could have made without McGahee in the wings (and incindentally, they're saying he'll be activated at midseason). It's a great help for the Lions too, since Stewart is supposed to be out for about two months. Better grab him while you can, guys.

Bad news for Sloww:

quote: Steelers All-Pro LB Porter among six shot, in serious condition DENVER -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter was seriously wounded when he was among six people shot early Sunday outside a bar following the Colorado-Colorado State football game. Porter was in serious condition after being shot in the buttocks, but the injury wasn't life-threatening, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. One of the other victims died, Jackson said. Porter, 26, was not involved in any confrontation. The All-Pro linebacker, a five-year veteran, is a Colorado State graduate. "He was an innocent bystander. There was no confrontation or altercation that we know of at this time," said Jackson. No arrests were made. Jackson said the shots were fired from outside a fenced-in parking lot where the victims were standing just before 2 a.m. The dead man was identified as Christopher Wilford, 28. Steelers coach Bill Cowher said the team would not place Porter on injured reserve, which would sideline him for the season. "The bullet entered his left buttocks and is lodged in his right thigh," Cowher said Sunday. "All the preliminary tests are being done and, at this time, it looks as though the bullet did not hit any vital organs. He is resting comfortably in the hospital and we are in the process of ... trying to fly him back here (Monday)." Cowher did not speculate how long Porter would be out. Losing Porter for a substantial period would be a major blow to a defense that was the NFL's best in 2001 and ranked seventh overall last season. "Joey's going to be fine; he'll be back," Cowher said. "He's a special guy and he'll be back." Clark Haggans, who played mostly as a rush end in the Steelers' dime defense last season, likely will start Sunday's opener against Baltimore. Haggans also is a former Colorado State player. Cowher talked to Porter on Sunday and said the linebacker was distraught over getting hurt with the season about to start. The Steelers otherwise came through the preseason with no serious injuries. "He's as well as can be expected. He feels like he's let the football team down. He was really emotional," Cowher said. Porter, a third-round draft pick in 1998, played in his first Pro Bowl last season. He became the first player since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 to have nine sacks and four interceptions. Considered one of the league's best all-around linebackers, Porter also had two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles last season. Against Oakland in the second game of 2002, Porter made 10 solo tackles, had three sacks and intercepted two passes, earning him to AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. "Joey's like a Broadway showman," Haggans said during training camp. "If he has any ability in something he likes to show it. He wants everyone to see it, like it."

So a Pittsburgh defense that some were already starting to question takes a huge hit. I think this guy needs loads of prayers sent his way. Talk about bad luck...
