Times They Are A Changin’
Let’s take a look at the multitude of changes occurring amongst NFL teams after week 7.
In Kansas City you have the “THUG” Larry Johnson twittering his way off of his teams roster. Maybe he hasn’t beaten enough women lately and it’s getting to him? It would be so sweet if NFL teams banded together and blacklisted this ungrateful use to be from the NFL forever. On the upside Haley is making way for the second year back Jamaal Charles. He is a nice pick up as a bye week replacement or stash guy.
Tedd Ginn Jr. is officially back in Bill Parcell’s doghouse. Ginn is to see reduced playing time moving forward. Coach Tony Sparano has said on record that rookie Brian Hartline “merits playing more.” My question is will Brian Hartline be the guy or will Greg Camarillo sneak in there the way he did last year?
Now that Chris Cooley has been ruled out for at least 4 weeks Fred Davis will be taking over his starting role. The second year tight end out of USC played well against the Eagles in week 7 when Cooley left the game. The knock against Davis is that he isn’t a great blocker. So maybe he won’t be playing every down? But he is an excellent receiving tight end. Washington’s offense has looked pathetic at times this year struggling to get the ball down field. A short passing game serves them well.
Brian Westbrook is more than likely to miss week 8. His backup LeSean McCoy is a talented rookie. The Eagles need to run the ball in order for their offense to be effective. They didn’t commit to the run in week 6 and lost uh-hummmm LOST to the Oakland Raiders! I rest my case.
Is Vince Young going to be the Titans starter coming out of their week 7 bye? Owner Bud Adams is supposedly pulling for him to get the start over Collins come week 8. Does this one even make much of a difference? Certainly not fantasy wise unless you planned on starting JaMarcus Russell this week.
Does Al Davis really have that big of a man crush on JaMarcus Russell? I think so! Otherwise Tom Cable would have been fired by now. Let’s take a look at Mr. (I don’t belong in the NFL) Russell’s stats through 7 weeks. He has amassed an amazing 891 passing yards. That would be an average of 127 yards a game! His completion % is a mind blowing 46.3%! He has thrown for a deplorable 2 TD’s and 8…….8 INT’s! I guess there isn’t any need for change here?
Norv Turner hinted Malcolm Floyd will be cutting into Chris Chambers playing time. Malcolm’s big at 6’5” 225 pounds. If he plays enough I believe he’ll put up solid fantasy numbers. The strength of this team is their passing game. I like this guy as a wide receiver 4 or 5.

Great comeback by the Saints. Miami again played well and gave it up in the fourth quarter.
These highlights show why this was the game of the week this Sunday.

Football Is God!!!
The arrival of the 2009 NFL season to me is analogous to what the second coming of Christ would mean to the religious right. Having cleared that up I’m casting my vote for the Oakland Raiders as the dumbest organization in the NFL. There you go Silver & Black at least you won something this year!
The Raiders recent acquisition Richard Seymour was one of the NFL’s finest defensive lineman a few years ago. Trading a first round pick for him back then would have made sense. Trading your 2011 first round pick for him now isn’t exactly the workings of an NFL road scholar. He’s had an assortment of injuries every season since 2005. Not to mention he turns 30 on the 6th of October.
In 2008 the Redskins traded the Dolphins their 2009 second-round pick and 2010 sixth-round pick for Jason Taylor, who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. That transaction exemplifies good value for both teams. Why didn’t the Raiders work a deal along these lines? Because they’re management people are two chromosomes away from being a potato? Or they’re actually talented football minds but crazy Al pushes all the buttons?
Let’s fast forward to 2010 for a moment. Al Davis is a year older and is well still crazy. Richard Seymour becomes the highest paid defensive player in NFL history ousting Albert Haynesworth of that title. The Patriots trade their second string ball boy for Nnamdi Asomugha. The 2010 dumbest organization award goes to………
