Offensive tackles are actually suppose to score higher than QBs on the Wonderlic test.

I did not know that, but I am not surprised. Perhaps the most complicated position on the field. And the most important. I don't care if you have Peyton Manning out there, if your O-line is not up to par you will not win games.
 
I was always under the impression that on the offensive line the Center is the player with the most mental faculties. often times (and most especially in today's popular West Coast offense) the best lineman is featured at Center.

as Matt Millen so eloquently said sometime during Saturday's college football broadcast: "the Center's have to see" ;) a joke, yes, but they have to use their eyes more than any other player on the offensive line, and use their intelligence in recognizing blitzes and the defensive schemes of the Front Seven (defensive line and linebackers, or even secondary if they are blitzing). often, a Center has to call audibles (a call made on the fly to change the function of the play called/or change it completely). for a good example of this type of player look at Peyton Manning's very talented Center.

football is a perfect combination of a chess match and a brutal and base type of pre-humanoid group battle. some defensive players can get away with sheer physical bad assitude, but this isn't even applicable in all cases. for examples of defensive players who use their brutal athletic abilities along with their mental prowess, look no further than Troy Polamalu.

trust me, I have a lot of clout in this discussion. I played college football for two years at a Division II college ;)
 
Raiders for the win, about damn time now if only Jano would of hit that 32 yarder we would of been 3-2 instead of 2-3
 
the Giants D is still a little questionable, but as long as you can rape the Quarterback in the NFL, you're good.

do you all think it will be Skins or Giants on top of the NFC East? looks interesting atm
 
I think the Giants can do it...remember what happened last time Coughlin was in the dog house? I think the Eagles have a pretty good shot to...but I fucking hate them and hope they don't win another game. Despite having two proven leaders( McNabb and Shannohan) I just don't think the Skins can be consistent enough to pull through. If the Cowboys want any chance they are going to have to win 3/4 vs the Giants and Eagles...and I just can't see that happening.
 
I think I'll go with the Skins. looks like anything is possible in the NFC East this year, and despite their awful running game I think McNabb has looked like he is the best leader this year.

the Steelers are playing the Browns this Sunday, who are both without Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace due to injury.

Colt McCoy might get his first start against a perpetually scary Steelers defense. I think that he will be a good QB in the future, but if he is in fact the starter I expect him to go at least 3 years behind in his pro QB development and to possibly acquire PTSD.

looks like the Cleveland Browns also called up on Brett Ratliff, a QB whom they've been pretty high on lately.

either way, with Big Ben coming back and their constant questions at QB, I see this game getting ugly!

Ben as a normal QB is very good.

Ben with a chip on his shoulder is a scary QB.

Ben with a chip on his shoulder playing in his home state against an undermanned and overwhelmed division rival while coming off a bye with a ridiculous defense and 1 chance to prove he is ready to be THE QB of the most successful franchise in the Super Bowl era? I cannot even put it into words of the gut wrenching beatdown he will present to the Browns.
 
wow I can't remember another Monday Night Football game with more story lines than this.

first, Brett Favre apparently sent some sexually inapro pros texts/calls to a former Jets staff member when they both were in NY.

second, he is playing his old team (weird to say when it isn't the Packers). third, we have "420" WR Santonio Holmes and Darelle Revis both making their first starts for the Jets. then we have Randy Moss making his first contribution to his new team, the Minnesota Vikings.

And it ended in typical Brett Favre Fashion.

Pick 6. Yay.


I never disliked Favre until a few years ago after he left Green Bay. His actions since then really seem selfish. I absolutely believe the Vikings lost the opener because Favre didnt take practice too seriously.
 
Its not Favres fault its the poor coaching Brad childress is a terrible coach before he had farve he barely accomplished anything and now with farve he coaches the game as if it were madden and hes a noob run, run, pass, run thats how the whole first half went so they had to be down, however if he changes it up to where its more open or balanced it would be better off also why have moss run the nine route all the time he has the ability to run quick inside slants poor coaching overall. The jets won due to the suppierior coaching.
 
God the Monday night game was a trainwreck for the vikes. Its not Favres fault Peterson doesnt understand how to pick up the blitz. Penaltys at key times I dunno Favre should have stayed in Missisippi.
 
it was such a boring game in the first half. then the second half was mostly just... ridiculous.

I agree in Brad Childress being a horrible coach. sometimes I feel like superb NFL talent gets so wasted on bad coaching. Minnesota has all the tools to be competitive, and Adrian Peterson, a player who should be tagged as something far more than just competitive

also file under: Barry Sanders

Last year was just a fluke until bad coaching threw that pick 6 to send the Saints to the SB?

Bad coaching lost 3 fumbles and threw another pick 6 last night?

Get real. It isnt Childress. The Jets D is that damn good and they were playing at home. Favre is called the ol' Gunslinger for a reason and that moniker was on him before he came to the Vikes.
 
Im not saying the Jets d is bad I love there d its outrageous. Im just saying poor play calling put them in that situation as well.
