Was cut by the Cardinals last Wednesday. Has talked to a few other teams and may get another look on someone's practice squad once the final 53-man rosters are set.

Was cut by the Cardinals last Wednesday. Has talked to a few other teams and may get another look on someone's practice squad once the final 53-man rosters are set.

I talked to Robinson today.  Tommorow is the final roster cut for the Cardinals.  He's hopeful, but if that doesn't pan out, then he has some other possibilities with at least one other NFL team.  Here's hoping.

Wesley and Kean had their scrimmage today at Miller Stadium.  They played 3 quarters with Wesley coming out on top 27-0.  Wesley was rough around the edges, but nailed some big plays courtesy of Larry Beavers.  They also stopped Kean on some long drives with key interceptions.  With no QB tackles allowed, it was kinda hard to determine if the score would of been different.  Overall, the refs did a good job calling touch sacks, though.

  I finally met PAWesleyfan today.  Nice guy! 

With only 3 home games, I had to make this scrimmage!  I even got a Wesley mini-helmet! Booyeah!

  Thanks Ski ,but it wasn't me    I was up here in Pa. getting brownie poin=ts for my trips later this year 
I would guess it was Weslydad

[wesleydad]

ski, it was me, but you are correct, pawesleyfan is a nice guy .  agree with the scrimmage.  90 yard reverse, 55 yard td pass, and a 65 yard screen pass to gene knight for td.  also beavers had a kickoff return for td called back for block in the back.  5 or 6 guys can score anytime they touch the ball so the offense could be explosive.  wesley did not run the ball too well.  i hope that they dont rely on the big play too much and forget about clock management.  the d looked good for the most part, except when they pressured the Qb and he scrambled, the d backs sort of lost their man and gave up some big plays.  all in all ok for the scrimmage, no injuries.  looking forward to next week against cnu.

DOH!!!

Sorry about that guys.  Too many Wesley's in the mix.  Wesleydad hit it right on the head.  I think those big plays really shocked Kean.

This is all I have from yesterday's Guilford at NNA scrimmage:

"Guilford quarterbacks threw for 387 yards and five touchdowns Saturday in a controlled scrimmage at the Newport News Apprentice School. Senior Josh Vogelbach and Billy Watkins threw for two touchdowns apiece and Jake Routh had two scoring receptions for Guilford."

Just an interesting note ... Michael Vite, the HC at NNA, was the Defensive Coordinator at Guilford the past two seasons.

Saturday is the deadline for NFL teams to get their rosters to 53 players. As of right now Byron Westbrook is still alive for the Redskins. Any word on the Cardinals and Robinson?

Byron Westbrook (C) # 34 made the Redskins again on the Practice Squad.  Congratulations and Good Luck Byron!

lincolnlion,

How have you been? Hope all is well. Good luck to the Gulls this year. Any chance you make it to Sam Mills Field this year? It would be nice to see you. How is your daughter doing?

My daughter graduated from Salisbury with a B.S. in Information Systems in December, 2006, and thank God there are no more tuition payments, however, the loans are due every month.  Of course I'm still a Sea Gull backer, and can't wait for the season to begin.  The Gulls have an ambitious schedule this year.

I was down in southeastern Pennsylvania this past weekend for my alma mater's first football game in 48 years.  The Lions beat George Mason's club team 34-7.  Lincoln travels to Southern Virginia University this weekend before embarking on all CIAA teams for the remaining schedule.

I'm going to try to get over to Sam Mills for one game this season.  I'll let you know when one I can make.   Good luck to the Red Hawks this year.

Week 1 Predictions

Salisbury at Albright
Last year Salisbury's option attack might have caught Albright off guards. For teams that have never faced the option it always difficult to adjust, especially when you traditionally face pro-style or spread offensives. This year I see the game being a little closer than the 42-12 win the Sea Gulls had a year ago but I still think SU will win. Salisbury 35, Albright 17.

Wesley at Christopher Newport
CNU has one of the best Division III atmospheres you'll find. The stadium is top-notch and stands are always packed. Not to mention the Captains have been a staple at the top of the USA South Conference. However, Wesley has been one of the most consistent programs over the last four years. Wesley might struggle early on but I think they are too much for CNU. Wesley 31, Christopher Newport 13.

Malone at Apprentice School
I don't know too much about Malone but I do know that the Apprentice School has always been a pretty disciplined team. Two years ago they were 7-3 and they were a four-point loss and an overtime loss away from being 6-4 last year. I see Apprentice School winning this game. Apprentice School 28, Malone 10.

My picks mirror XSUGull with Salisbury, Wesley and Apprentice to win.

Albright played very well after last year's opener against SU. They have a senior QB (Tanner Kelly) and they are always tough to beat. The Gulls sacked him 8 times in last year's game, they'll need to keep the pressure on. I agree. It will be a tough game, especially on the road.

Looks like the two tidewater games, maybe played at high tide. Lots of rain and high winds from Hanna expected. The Wolverines and Builders will have to pound it on the ground and hold onto the ball.

Malone, by the way, has been pretty good the last couple years. They beat Geneva handlily and Gulls fans know they gave SU a pretty good game last season.

Wesley Fans,

The game with CNU has been cancelled...or at least postponed.
