Running Preseason NFL Thread

Re: Running NFL Thread 1

If Crabtree doesn't think he's getting the respect he deserves re: contract negotiations, just wait until he gets into camp with coach Singletary. I think it's gonna be a long year year for young Mr. Crabtree.

Top pick.

not a chance.

No kidding. I'm sure it would be a smooth negotiation when he is the first pick. He already has the bad attitude/entourage label so sitting out a year won't help.

He won't miss one game this year.

Until he gets hurt in Week 4.

of the preseason.

Nicely done

ESPN is reporting that Michael Crabtree plans to sit out the 2009-2010 season and re-enter the 2010 NFL Draft.

Moron.

Won't happen.

Yup. Ain't NO way he sits out the season. Hell, his agent is already pretty much saying that Crabtree's advisor/cousin is an idiot.

His "advisor" is his cousin? Beautiful.

This one is a days old, but I don't think I've seen it on here yet. The Patriots got Derrick Burgess from Oakland for "undisclosed draft considerations," whatever the heck that is.

Another guy the Raiders couldn't keep in line who will probably return to his Pro Bowl level with the Patriots.

Question for you smart people......isn't the third preseason game typically when the starters play the most?

If you are thinking of buying tickets to a preseason game, don't.

I think the third game is when you might see the starters the most, but a lot of that depends on the coach.

Don't try to read my mind. You'll be wrong 100 percent of the time.

I got free tickets to Skins-Patriots on Aug. 28, the third week of the preseason. Just wondering how much of the starters I should expect to see.

 

[93Devil]

Honestly, I would not even waste my time if I had free tickets. Getting in and out of Fed Ex is bad enough, but I am always wrong, so go and have a great time watching players trying not to get hurt.

Brady will probably play a couple series, because he wants to, but Belichick has really given up on even pretending the exhibitions are anything but tough practices for rookies and scrubs battling for roster spots.

So don't go.

I'm a big boy. I've been to FedEx many, many times. I know what I'm doing.

Well, if you know so much, then why the fark are you asking.

I wasn't asking about the game-day experience, chief.

Thanks for your concern, though.

Overheard at my tailgate:"Now THAT'S a fire!!! Roll the child around a little bit."

CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) —Mark Sanchez reared back and lofted a pretty pass downfield that landed in Jerricho Cotchery's hands for a touchdown.

It was the first play of team drills and the beginning of a brilliant practice Saturday for the New York Jets rookie quarterback.

"I put it in a place where only J-Co can get it," Sanchez said, "and he made a great adjustment for the ball."

Working exclusively with the first-team offense for the first time this summer, Sanchez completed 10 of 19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception in the morning session. He also further solidified his edge over Kellen Clemens in the team's quarterback competition.

"Every day needs to be a step forward when you get a chance to go with that first-team group," said Sanchez, trying to win the spot vacated when Brett Favre retired. "I thought it really showed that I was ready for that, and I took advantage of that time."

Meanwhile, Clemens struggled running the second-team offense, going 4 of 12 with no scores, an interception — and two other passes that could've been picked off.

 

[YGBFKM]

Doesn't look like Clemens is putting up much of a fight in the QB battle. I wonder if that may ultimately hurt Sanchez by not having someone else to really push him. I'm sure the guy's super self-motivated, but it's almost as if things are coming too easy for him. And that won't be the case when the games count. Just wondering if this camp experience is setting him up for a bit of a rude awakening once the season begins.

So we get the old Houston Oilers uniforms, and as a bonus the refs look like they should be running a Wattaburger drive thru.

 

[da man]

Oh, my God, that was the most beautiful fake punt I've ever seen. The behind-the-back fake Statue of Liberty!

 

[Lieslntx]

Yeah, I like seeing the uniforms, but not seeing that team wear them. They are NOT the Houston Oilers.
