D-3 Players in the Pros

[Mugsy]

Andy Studebaker with another sack last night in the Chiefs game:

Defensive Grit and a pick-six – Chiefs defenders were bringing the wood last night on defense. There were several big hits and, despite some miscues, the "D" made some big stops when they needed to. They escaped danger on multiple occasions, allowing over 400 yards of total offense, but holding Seattle to just 14 points. Flowers' pick-six got the crowd into the game early and LB Andy Studebaker logged a sack, as did DE Tyson Jackson. The defense has played with a high-motor this preseason, something that seemed to be lacking at times in 2008.

Update from Jaguars website regarding status of roster spot battles:

Defensive backs—Rashean Mathis, Sean Considine, Brian Williams and Reggie Nelson are the starters. Derek Cox was supposed to make Williams a possible roster decision, but Cox has yet to play a preseason game. Gerald Alexander, Brian Witherspoon, Tyron Brackenridge, Marlon McCree and Scott Starks are likely keepers. Rookie cornerback Pete Ittersagen is a threat and could close the ground with a top game on Thursday. Ittersagen and fellow undrafted rookie Michael Desormeaux would certainly be practice-squad candidates.

Larry Beavers was not added to the Panthers practice squad.

Well, that sux.  As mentioned before, I'm sure his speed will be used elsewhere.  At least he got that 1 in a 100 chance to play in the NFL.....

MUC's Pierre Garcon made his NFL debut a successful one.  He had three catches (24 yards) in today's 14-12 Indianapolis victory over Jacksonville. 

[HScoach]

debut?

[Ron Boerger]

Sorry, my bad for not realizing he had a few catches last year.    I should have remembered that he saw time primarily on special teams last season.   Garcon did double his career yardage totals today.  

Jerheme Urban had one of his better days, elevated to #3 with Steve Breaston's injury, he had five catches for 75 yards including a 40-yarder.

Coe's Fred Jackson is getting it done against the Patriots ...early in the 4th, 4 catches for 70 yards, 14 rushes for 58 to lead the Bills in both categories.

EDIT:  he just scored on a screen from ten yards out !!  Bills 24-13 if they hit the PAT.     That is Fred's 4th career TD but his first receiving TD.

Ya I don't recall which announcer said it but they did say Fred Jackson out of Coe College and the other one said "where is Coe College"  The other one replied Iowa some where.

And today, after Urban caught a ball against the Jags, the broadcast crew pointed out that "Urban came out of Trinity College in WEST VIRGINIA."  That's a new one!  Thank you Chris Meyers for that gem.



Good story about Jamal and his successes so far this year in Toronto.  Read it here
