Out of the 2008 Draft class...

Out of the 2008 Draft class...

which running back taken will be the most productive (yards and/or TDs) when taking into account, the teams depth chart at the position and related positions (QB, OL etc), the players skillset, and where they were drafted?

Who might suprise some people when taking all that into consideration?

noticed this and realized..

wasnt the lore of julius jones the big games he had on thanksgiving for our boys? there was always a story with julius and a thanksgiving day game and this year will be no different.. undoubtedly the talking heads will call it his chance to run all over his old team.. but we all know it will be our defense's chance to pound him into the turf.. all in the name of the game of course. neway it will def be some kinda story and a good game to watch.

TO wins MVP celebrity basketball game

eMBe3 — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:11:00 -0000

NBA allstar weekend kicked off tonight with the celebrity basketball game..

Ironically one team had Terrell Owens, and guarding him on the other team.. none other than Neon Deion Sanders. TO came in with 2/3's of the game left to be played, and went 8 for 10 posting 17 points and 3 rebounds. earning him the MVP of the game. Afterwards he accepted the trophy, blessed his teammates and stated they won as a team.
When asked what the difference was between this game and the pro-bowl (where he had 8 catches for over a hundred yards and 2 touchdowns) he said "this time I got MVP" with a 25 million dollar smile.
He showed competitiveness, athleticism and good sportsmanship, but most of all just looked as though he was genuinely enjoying the event. I can't lie though, the whole time i was watching i was praayyyying that he didnt come down on that ankle wrong. But, my prayers were answered and the ankle looked strong. Plain and simple, he dominated..

2008 player rankings

eMBe3 — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:13:15 -0000

I never played fantasy football. Not for any specific reason other than i simply dont have the time. so i dont claim to be an expert on it but, i noticed this on NFL.com and thought it was interesting where our guys rank. not suprising.. but interesting. they go all the way to 30, i'll just post enough to get the idea, and add my two cents at the end.

First off, i dont think this really means anything. but it can if you take into consideration how and why these rankings are compiled. It goes into anticipated production based on the season completed. "Value" if you will (they even put dollar amounts to that?.. i left those out).

Tom Brady

Peyton Manning

Tony Romo

Drew Brees

Carson Palmer

I like the fact that Romo comes in right after the two QB's that people constantly talk about being two of the best ever. But the top 3 kinda reads like the top 3 "Worst choke artists" in the league (no offense Tony I still got ya back). But I'm confident Romo can live up to the intended ranking.

LaDainian Tomlinson

Adrian Peterson

Brian Westbrook

Steven Jackson

Joseph Addai

Larry Johnson

Frank Gore San

Marshawn Lynch

Clinton Portis

Willis McGahee

Ryan Grant

Willie Parker

Ronnie Brown

Marion Barber

I also like that MB3 comes in in the top 15 runningbacks. Pretty soon this guy is gonna get the respect he truly deserves (which means not just from NFC east fans). With him starting for the full season in '08 he's sure to get his. I can see him somewhere between 7 and 10 this time next year realistically.

Antonio Gates

Jason Witten

Kellen Winslow

Tony Gonzalez

Chris Cooley

Randy Moss

Terrell Owens

Reggie Wayne

Braylon Edwards

Andre Johnson

TO & Jason Witten theres not much I have to say about those two. The most productive players on the offense and two of the most prolific players (if not the most) at their position in the history of the franchise, without disrespecting the greats of Cowboys past. NE way, no suprise there.

Nicholas Folk

Mason Crosby

Stephen Gostkowski

Robbie Gould

Nate Kaeding

Nick Folk, oh excuse me NICHOLAS Folk... Pro Bowl Rookie.. The folk hero of week 5 and beyond is holding the top spot among kickers. Wow. He tied for 12th for made FG during the regular season, and only missed 5 (i think 1 or 2 of them were blocked?) all season. Without a doubt the highest contributer from last years draft. Gives me a good feeling (especially after the last few years) that we finally got that position taken care of.

DEF/ST

Patriots

Chargers

Cowboys

Vikings

Steelers

Defense and special teams is a whole nother discussion that i really dont want to get into.

Also, NFL.com has an interview with Roy Williams and Greg Ellis in which Roy williams states how much hes going to miss Todd Bowles next season. The interview ends up making a comment about how he sounds like he'd want to follow him to Miami. Nice little interview & a little food for thought for all of you anticipating a Roy Will trade.
They also have an interview with Jason Witten coupled with some offseason discussion here. & Demarcus Ware/Osi Umenyiora debating who the best player from Troy University is here.
