Maybe so, but all of this Super Bowl talk is premature especially for a team that A)hasn't won a play-off in 12 years B) has a QB who not only has never won a play-off game but wilts in the latter part of the season, C)Marion Barber is a great back but he's never been THE guy in college or the pros - he's always been in a tandem situation and Felix Jones has to prove himself and most importantly D)Wade Phillips is still their head coach.

They have holes...no doubt.

T.O. is injury prone and you don't know when the next issue will pop up. Romo has an awful big game track record. Wade Phillips has a touch of down syndrome.

There are definitely ways they could end up not dominating.

However, they do have the talent to outclass most of their opponents this year.

F-Dallas,

F-Dallas.

Bill Parcells' Quarterback commandments:

1. Ignore other opinions – Press or TV, agents or advisors, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers on - ignore them on matters of football, they don’t know what’s happening here.

2. Clowns can’t run a huddle – don’t forget to have fun but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix. Clowns can’t run a huddle.

3. Fat QBs can’t avoid the rush – A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arm. Squat and run.

4. Know your job cold – this is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study.

5. Know your own players – Who’s fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent.

6. Be the same guy every day – in condition. Preparing to lead. Studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.

7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.

8. Learn to manage the game – personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock. Clock. Clock. Don’t you ever lose track of the clock.

9. Get your team in the end zone – passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re going to be judged. Your job is to get your team in the end zone and that is how you will be judged.

10. Don’t panic – when all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button so will everyone else. Our ship can’t have a panic button.

11. Don’t be a celebrity QB – we don’t need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out, every day, every week and every season and lead their team to win after win after win.

Sorry. Reason I posted it was Romo and #11.

Eagles Former BYU Defensive Tackle
"Written" by Garry Cobb

Andy Reid is going to get blasted for this next move. He signed another player from Brigham Young.
The Eagles signed Mike Marquardt and released Kimo von Oelhoffen. I didn't understand why they had held onto von Oelhoffen so long anyway.

Marquardt is a rookie finished his career at Arizona State but played two year at Brigham Young. He twice was selected Honorable Mention All-Pac 10.

He's not that big so he'd better be very quick

Takeo signs with SF

Is there a BYU version of Yale's 'Skull n Bones'?

Is there a BYU version of Yale's 'Skull n Bones'?

The first rule of BYU football is that you do not talk about BYU football.

Is because of the "more men" and "bring em young" slogans?

I just have no clue where this should go, so it ends up here:

JOHNSON WANTS TO BE OCHO CINCO, LEGALLY
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 12, 2008, 7:24 p.m.

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was fined $5,000 for wearing "Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey before a game in 2006.

To avoid getting fined, Johnson hasn’t done it since then. But Johnson now has a plan for how he can get away with having "Ocho Cinco” spelled out over the "85? on his back.

We’ve learned that Johnson has taken the first steps in the state of Florida toward legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco.

Seriously.

If Johnson follows through on this, his actual, legal name will be Chad Ocho Cinco, and the NFL would then (we assume) allow him to put his new last name on the back of his jersey.

From a business standpoint, this might be Chad’s way of picking up some of the extra cash that he wants to make but that the team has said it won’t give him. The jersey would instantly become one of the NFL’s top sellers, and NFL players get a cut of all sales of their jerseys.

In recent interviews, including one on ESPN Monday night, Johnson has made veiled references about future plans that he has said will change the way fans think about him. This is a strange one, to say the least.

too long for the back of a jersey, methinks.

Ocho Loco works as well.

I think it a great idea!


F the No Fun League- those guys should get to put funny shit on their jerseys if they want

Hollis Thomas sidelined for 2 months with a tricep injury.

at least two months. He may find himself on IR.

On PFT:
On the surface, everything appears to be fine. Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin wants a new contract, realizes he’s not going to get one that reflects his market value, and plans to honor the final three years of the deal before moving on.

Since Boldin shared his views on the matter several weeks ago, the story has died. The far bigger issues that have trickled out of camp relate to the struggles to produce healthy bodies at the center position, and the question of whether Kurt Warner will get his wish for an actual competition at the quarterback position.

But there’s a full-blown cold war between Boldin and the team. As we hear it, Boldin and coach Ken Whisenhunt have not communicated — at all — for the entire training camp and preseason. Boldin and none of the coaches are speaking, and Boldin has generally kept to himself.

This one runs deeper than the same-old contract squabbles. When the team opted to escape the cap crunch created by the back end of receiver Larry Fitzgerald’s rookie deal by giving him a four-year, $40 million contract, a huge disparity was created between two comparable players. For every dollar Boldin earns in 2008, Fitzgerald will get four.

The ratio doesn’t get much better in 2009 or 2010, the final two years of Boldin’s contract.

And, yes, a contract is a contract. However, when a team gives so much money to one of the two best wideouts in the game and doesn’t take care of the other one, it creates a serious problem.

The same dynamic plays out in workplaces throughout the country. Two people do the same job, and perform at about the same level. Each of them thinks in his or her heart that he’s more valuable than the other. So if one is getting rewarded significantly more than the other, the other naturally will feel unappreciated, and disrespected.

The Cardinals’ apparent plan is to get through the 2008 season with a $2.5 million salary to Boldin, and then to try to trade Boldin. They plan to re-start negotiations with Boldin later in the season, but unless they’re prepared to pay him in the same ballpark as Fitzgerald, a deal isn’t likely. In the interim, the team won’t give Boldin and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, permission to attempt to line up a suitable trade.

The reality is that the Cardinals have two No. 1 wideouts, but have chosen to pay only one of them accordingly. And, as a practical matter, they can’t pay two of them $10 million per year.

Though Boldin, by all appearances, doesn’t intend to launch a 2005 T.O.-style effort to get out of town, the fact that the relationship between player and team has deteriorated to the point of no communication is every bit as undesirable as the salary-cap conundrum that Fitzgerald’s contract created.

This one’s even more potentially disruptive, even if Boldin does nothing to be disruptive. Fitzgerald’s situation played out in the offseason. Boldin’s case is unfolding at a time when it’s important to get and to keep everyone on the same page.

The challenge for the Cardinals is to decide whether they want one more year of Fitzgerald and Boldin under the present circumstances, or whether they want to get what they can for Boldin and move on.

The problem is that, as the 2008 regular season approaches, other teams will be less inclined to bring in a key new player, pay him huge money, and scramble to get him ready to play.

According to the Eagles, Tony Hunt will be listed as the starting FB today and will take all reps with the first team offense.

Ummm...huh?

It would be great if they could fill that role with him, but how is he going to learn how to be a fullback 2 or 3 weeks before the season?

what's the big deal? it only took g-lew one week to master the particulars of punt-returning last year.

right.

It's the wonders of the system - you can plug anyone anywhere and they'll be successful.
