John Clayton was talking up Clinton Portis' pass blocking ability and how it's the biggest asset Clinton brings to the table at this stage of his career. It's true, it is a crucial need as Tarvaris never is able to let the play develop.

Damn, they make it sound as it he's already a has-been.

Do they make jerseys in his new size? Seems like they're already overloaded. Got Wilfork, Haynesworth, and they retained Ty Warren, yeah?

Why do kickers retire?

Pack your shit, Carlson. It's MILLER TIME!!! :beerchug2:

Umenyiora already tried, and he's not getting shit until he shows he's still young and effective enough to pull Jason Pierre-Paul off the field long enough to give him a chance to wreck some havoc. But yes, your point is noted. :beerchug2:

Bust.

An elite offensive lineman coming to Seattle? I thought of it as soon as I saw the Cowboys cutting him, but I never thought we'd have a shot. I'm all for it :beerchug2:

QB - Josh Freeman WR- Roddy White WR - Mike Wallace RB - Matt Forte RB - LeGarrette Blount TE - Rob Gronkowski W/R - ??? K - Lawrence Tynes (NYG) D - Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB - Daniel Thomas RB - Mike Tolbert WR - Kenny Britt WR - Mike Thomas QB - David Garrard WR - Emmanual Sanders RB - Donald Brown Edit: Got Chad Ochocinco off waivors from league retard

Seattle traded CB Kelly Jennings to the Bengals for DT Clinton McDonald. The story just broke on KJR Radio, so all I could find internet wise on it so far was a tweet.

They announced on Sunday that he's not receiving any suspensions from Roger Goodell. Other than that, he has hamstring problem, but is that really going to stop him from having multiple 100 yard games? I suppose I can settle for Ochocinco. Looking at my bench, there's not alot of guys that I really feel like dropping. I now have too many recievers. If either Britt or Mike Thomas steps up big, I might throw back Sanders whichever falters of the two of them. To answer that other question, Gronkowski I took in the 9th round after I had all my core guys. I knew I wasn't going after a tight end like Clark or Finley early on because of how much faith I have in the bottom bunch this year. No point in taking Dallas Clark in the 4th round if you can get a solid player like Cook, Winslow, or Gronkowski late in the thinner pickins.

Sun, Aug 28 WR Kenny Britt found out this week that the NFL won't suspend or fine him for his three off-field incidents that took place during the lockout. That means Britt is free to play without fear of missing time. Now, the question that lingers is how soon will Britt be healthy enough to do just that? "I'm happy it's resolved. It's behind me now, and I've got 100 percent of my mind on football and opening the season," Britt said. "I hope I don't get any letters or calls or anything from (commissioner Roger Goodell) ever again, unless it's, 'Good job on the field.'" Coach Mike Munchak said the news should give the wide receiver some sort of sense of relief now that the matter is completely behind him. "I think that gives him some relief to know that if he is healthy that nothing else will stand in the way of him playing," Munchak said. Now the question for the Titans becomes how to get Britt healthy. Britt missed a good part of training camp and has also missed all three preseason games thus far with a nagging hamstring injury that about a week ago appeared to beget a quadriceps injury. The hamstring has been problematic for Britt since last year when he suffered a tear that sidelined him for five weeks. He reinjured it just before the lockout ended when he was running at a local field in his native New Jersey to stay in shape. Britt has been slowly improving and has returned to practice. But the plan is for Britt to finally see action for a little bit in the preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints and then hope that the talented wide receiver is well enough to be close to full strength by the time the season opener arrives on Sept. 11 in Jacksonville. "Hopefully, if things go well with Kenny, we'll see how he is for playing. And even if he does play, it's going to be limited. It's not like we're going to get a lot of work with him and the quarterback in this game," Munchak said. Part of the need for Britt to play in preseason (Yahoo! Sports)

Why was Aaron Curry rated so much higher than this guy?

Seattle lost 100 games when Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young. Just sayin.

Linebacker Aaron Curry isn’t the only member of the Seahawks who agreed to a reduced contract earlier this month. Veteran cornerback Marcus Trufant has dropped his pay dramatically for 2011, per a league source. The source says that Trufant’s base salary for 2011 dropped from $5.9 million to $3 million via a new contract signed on August 20. Trufant can earn it all back based on his performance this year. The new deal contains “not likely to be earned” incentives, which pay up to $2.65 million based on Trufant earning a spot on the Pro Bowl team and making a specific number of interceptions. The other $250,000 can be earned by meeting a specific playing-time threshold. The rest of Trufant’s contract (base salary of $7.2 million in 2012 and base salary of $8.8 million in 2013, with a $100,000 workout bonus each year) remains unchanged. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/28/marcus-trufant-takes-a-steep-pay-cut

1. Aaron Rodgers 2. Tom Brady 3. Drew Brees 4. Peyton Manning 5. Ben Roethlisberger 6. Matt Ryan 7. Phillip Rivers 8. Josh Freeman 9. Tony Romo 10. Eli Manning

That 2nd team goes with the same league that the team I posted is from, my annual league i do with my dad and uncles. Sure as hell isn't as good as the team you hard last year which had both Ray Rice and Jamaal Charles, but your late round runningback picks like Felix Jones and Reggie Bush could really be your saving grace. I might trade you Daniel Thomas to go with Reggie Bush.

You can lob it tentatively in Dez Bryant's direction and he will somehow find a way to come down with the football.

No.

Outstanding team. You got a top RB who is huge in the pass game as well, one of the top 3 WRs, and as your secondary starters you selected guys who have major roles and tons of upside. My only complaint is that your bench has little upside and it does not contain Rashad Jennings. If I draft Maurice Jones-Drew, you bet your ass I'm making sure I get Rashad Jennings, and you'd have to burn a 9th/10th rounder on him.

Well since I picked last, that gives me first waivor priority. A guy dropped Ochocinco, Kolb, and Michael Bush. He asked to be int he league, said he knew his stuff well but clearly he doesn't. I put in transactions to drop Aaron Hernandez and Garrard to grab Ochocinco and Kolb. I should be able to add as many guys as I want with the top waiver priority, right? I'm considering grabbing Michael Bush, I just don't know if I need another backup.

QB, offensive line, runningback, pressure the QB, crash the line on running plays better, better pass coverage, and perhaps a new head coach. Other than that, we look fantastic.
