Im hoping EJ will be back and ready to go, but I actually feel pretty good about Jasper Brinkley. I know he got burned some in coverage, but he has the physical ability to be better in coverage. With the playing time he got last season and the added reps this off season, I think he'll improve in a lot of areas.

I agree. Jasper got thrown into a tough situation and I thought he held his own, I like what we have in him if EJ has some kind of setback this year.

I'm doing a fantasy league this year, and it will be a keeper league.

Hopefully Ponder.

prock · 07-12-2010, 01:53 PM

Can you see anyone else sneaking into round 1, or maybe falling down? Locker couldn't fall that far, Mallet will go top 5, Ponder could be gone. Could someone like Delvin or Enderle make that jump into round 1?

FuzzyGopher · 07-12-2010, 03:06 PM

What about Jerrod Johnson? He seems like the type of guy Childress goes crazy for. There could potentially be a lot of quarterbacks in next years draft if Luck declares (I don't think he will) which would be great for us as a good player could fall to us.

prock · 07-12-2010, 03:08 PM

Yeah I could see us drafting Johnson. I haven't fully developed my opinion on him yet, though.

I'm with you on that. I haven't paid hardly any attention to him yet, the only games of A&M's that I watched last year were the Arkansas and Texas ones and I wasn't watching them for him. The Arkansas one I was watching for Mallett and the Texas game I was looking at quite a few of the Texas guys, mainly Colt and then at quite a few of their defensive guys like Kindle, Houston, Muckelroy, and the CBs(Williams and the Browns). Johnson definitely has plenty of talent, and very well could be worthy of a first round pick come April, but with all of the QB talent in this draft(even if Luck doesn't declare, and I don't think he will unless there will be a rookie wage scale and he's guaranteed top 10) he could fall out of the first even if he has a very good year.

My favorite QB for this year's class is Ponder, I still have Locker and Mallett ahead of him, like everyone should, but I really like his game. His arm is imo above average, he's very athletic, seems to have good, quick feet, and is a good decision maker, plus he's not coming out of a spread and has carried the FSU team on his back. If he has a year like I expect, he could be long gone by the time we pick though.

From the little I've seen and read of him, I like Devlin quite a bit, and I honestly can say that I've never seen Enderle play, but he does seem to have the talent.

I reallly like Pat Devlin. I would not mind at all if we took him

I really like what Pat Devlin sounds like, I haven't seen enough at this point to make a statement on how he's gonna do. He sounds like he has all the talent to make it happen, and from the very limited amount that I've seen of him, it appears to be true, but I need to see more.

I got a ? How many times did Favre get Cheap Shoted in the Game against the Saints ? I know atlest two. The play he got injured on, and the Reverse to Percy Harvin where Farve was out of the play and a Defender saw Favre did not have the ball on just Blew Him UP.

vikes_28 · 07-15-2010, 11:50 PM

Article on PFT says that Randy Moss is with the same agent as Percy Harvin. Do you guys think that there is a possibility Moss will complete his "unfinished business" in minny?

dannyz · 07-16-2010, 12:15 AM

He sould his year. Imagine Farve,AD,Harvin,Moss. SuperBowl. Then Randy and Brett Retire together.

I don't think there's any chance. Chilly hates egos other than his own and Brett's. Not to mention that we don't have a need at WR, so unless an opening is created at WR I see no chance at all.

haha yeah, I'd love to have Moss back. He was and still is one of my favorite players, and it would be sweet if he'd come back to finish it where he started it and get that ring he should have had in 98. I'd love to see us trade Berrian and then sign Moss. Rice/Moss/Harvin would be an insane receiving core, and I really don't care who the QB is, if you can't kick ass with those WRs, AD and Gerhart and Shiancoe, then you don't deserve to even be in the NFL. Hell, Favre would probably come back again and again to play with those guys.

Pre-Season is starting soon! Let's talk about position battles!

I tried to do that on the bottom of the last page with CBs, but only Prock replied...

Im watching it right now. I am also realizing how much we are going to miss Chester Taylor this up coming season. :-(

marshallb · 07-29-2010, 06:00 PM

With training camp starting tomorrow, I was wondering who plans on going this year.

I'm gonna go up with my dad and sister and maybe mom, and we're gonna get a hotel room. The plan is to go up next Friday for both practices and then stay over Saturday night and go to the Saturday morning practice.

General Zod · 07-30-2010, 01:55 PM

Well according to Judd on Twitter, Tony Gerhart signed today. So thats a rap for getting all the draft picks signed.

marshallb · 07-30-2010, 02:25 PM

Good to get everyone signed before the start of camp. It shouldn't have been a problem with no first round picks, but still good to have everyone...well, almost everyone there.
