gotta love meds that make you think that way.

1 Bengals practice down and Odom left complex in a boot after being carted off the field.  damn there goes 30M.

Has_Been...Johnson would not go to the Lions, was looking for contenders

No chit!!  I feel like I smoked some crack..or whatever the tweakers do...funny thing is that show Intervention is on tonight at 9pm on A&E.  If you haven't seen it, take a look at it...and I promise, you'll forget about anything that you're feeling bad about in your own life....and then you'll laugh if it gets really crazy. 

I'm just going to deal with the pain tomorrow and go back to work...I now remember why I don't like medicine. 

Thanks for the wishes, cave2bens.

Hey! Detroit is always a contender for the top draft pick!

At least they are a contender for something...  well something other than "America's Chitiest City"  They have that title on lockdown.   Memphis is a distant 2nd... I'd want to shoot myself if I lived in either of those two places...

[SaintsFAN]

Has_Been - referencing DC QB situation?  Is it finalized that Vetter blazed the trail for Prez "Hands-On" Wood to exit " the school we love on the top of the Hill"?
Have seen no roster listings, and am curious if the junior from Crestwood is the lone ranger or if some others have transferred in or been recruited.  

Doesn't F-ing matter who Defiance's QB is.  As time has told us... he's going to be a "game manager"....and he's going to throw to the other team like Neil O'Donnell in the Super Bowl.   

PLUS....it doesn't f-ing matter because this is the year of the Beaver!!!   For me at least

[SaintsFAN]

Speaking of "It doesn't f-ing matter"....

Where are those azzholes from Franklin that appeared mid-season last year?

And where are their real fans....victorybell, and Grizz?


Just noticed its kind of quiet from those guys...  did Franklin install the Wing-T or something and have all these guys with muzzles on?

[dc_has_been]

I haven't heard anything yet about the QB situation.  I'm still going off the rumor that Vetter will not be back next year.  Regardless, DC will probably run 80% of the time this year b/c they have a decent backfield returning.  Hopefully they can throw in some playaction and be somewhat productive. 

SaintsFan- lay off the painkillers or I'm going to set up an intervention for you & I'll make sure your ex is there too!

Saints,

No VBell sightings of late, but did see a few Grizzly shirts at the track Sunday.  Saw one of them gnawing on a Turkey leg wearing a Detroit Lions shirt.

Told the yellow shirt to search him for being suspicious as it is well known the Lions have no fans.  Then proceeded to raise my arms and assume the position.  Go Kitna!!!

Coach Leonard is as likely to run the Wing T as Mike Martz.  Though, wouldn't mind seeing some installation of a guards over thirty series to keep pace with Coach Erdelyi's tackles over eighty series. 

BTW, think the Hanover Panthers stomped with them NAIA boys just like Ocho Cinco's one time QB. 

See Oberlin drew an early season matchup with Washington and Jefferson from the PAC.  They've improved, but that rock troll there looks a lot like that ONU squad that knocked off Mount Union a few seasons back.  You'd have to be ACFC to see that many D3.com preseason All Americans.  Unenviable task, but definitely the type of game an up and coming program with resolve is willing to take... with  true commitment.  Reminiscent of Witt's recently taking up the gauntlet with Dayton.

Anyway, see the Colts picked up former Kentucky signal caller Justin Lorenzen?  That kid is bigger than even Bulger when he was at West Virginia.

if you're going to involve that crazy btch, then I'm flushing them down the toilet tonight!!  Funny how the crazy ex (from the incident in December...dated 2.5 years) and my ex-wife BOTH live in Tennessee now.  I'm going to miss going to Tennessee 


Macleod,

I saw Lorenzen about 3 years ago at Applebee's in Crestview Hills (across the street from Thomas More)...he's a VERY large man.  He was holding a Brewtus glass (empty of course) and it looked like a toothpick in his hands.  He's a good signing because for one roster spot...Indy gets a guy that can play QB should the unthinkable happen and/or someone to step in at guard to help keep the unthinkable from happening and also someone who can step in at the cook position during camp (well maybe the grill) should Butch the sous chef fall ill.  Bill Polian is a genius.

I'm still around been trying to take in my sons baseball games this summer. Don't know much about Franklin this year since my source is no longer on campus. But I do know one thing as long as Coach Leonard is there you won't have to worry about them running the wing "T". I have heard that they have brought in over sixty freshman this year and have about eighty returning from last years squad.

Hope your recovering from operation is going Okay.

I'm sure after the season gets started the rest of the Grizzlies will awaken from their hibernation.

[SaintsFAN]

Thanks KYGizz,

I'm actually hoping those guys that came out of the woodwork can't afford internet this year because they have spent too much on gas or something. 

Wouldn't that be nice?  There was no talking to them...and just as quick as they appeared...they were gone after the loss in the playoffs.

I've decided that I'm playing in our team's games tonight in the Cincinnati Metro.  I can't miss that...then I'm throwing away the medicine, has_been.

There is an offense in California that's very interesting to say the least. It's called the A-11. If anyone is bored at work, this is something that will definately be interesting to look at. The team who put it in, bases everything off the punt formation (all players on punt can have an eligible number). They switch things up so the defense never knows who's eligible or not. It's crazy. Take a look, you won't be dissapointed.

[wally_wabash]

I read an article on the A-11 the other day...it's wild.  I'm certainly not an x's and o's guy, but formation rules dictate that not everybody can be pass eligible on any given play, right? 

It's definitely an interesting philosophy though...you have to wonder if this is something that will work it's way up the ladder, get fine tuned, and become the new "thing" in progressive offensive schemes.  Or is it just going to be a tool used by schools that are largely playing at a disadvantage due to roster size and other limitations? 

[dc_has_been]

The A-11 is certainly an interesting offense, but you better have all the right pieces if you want the offense to be productive.  I do like the fact the long snapper gets the same treatment as any long snapper does after the snap to get their head up or 15 yards.
The most important piece is the qb has to be able very mobile & has to make correct reads running the ball and passing.  Plus in the video a lot of the times the two tight ends next to the long snapper were getting beat by the outside rush.  If those DE's do a good job containing the qb is in for a day of pain.

Wally, I read that same article.  A few D1 schools used a play or two of this offense in 2007.  Its going to be interesting to see how many people use this on a regular basis.. Its already being tried out as "gimmick plays"

[70_dc_alum]

the article said they only used it 60% of the time and hope this year to use it 80%.  my guess is a little more gimmic than anything else but good for a team that is historically smaller than its competition.  in college the only types of places i could see wanting to use this full time are places like the Military where you can not have 350lbs road graters on the line.

you still have to have 5 on the line and only 6 are eligable on any given play but with a couple little moves in the formation the Gaurd is catching a pass up the seem.  i think the other thing that was interesting is they use 2QB's on everyplay so the defense is not even sure presnap where the ball is going which could slow down the pass rush since we know athletic guys are not tough that is why they run fast and cant block.

SaintsFan.  you dont need to throw them out just mail them 20 mi north and i will dispose of them for you.
