hey ed whats happing?uni is quite good but learning is gay!reading your blog is always a hoot and hope your having a good time out there!writing this blog is actually sweet too,so ill keep it up until the draft has completly subsided!
just want to take some time to address the current period of free agency.
one of the most recent developments has been the extension of the cap from 123 to 127 million. this makes the top 5 teams in both wealthiest and poorest look like this:
most:TB(61m);KC(57m);PHIL(48m);DEN(37);GB(34)
least:CAR(1.9m);NE(3.2m);INDY(6.6m);PITT(7.4m);WAS(8.1m)
as you can see tampa seem to have alot of space,yet according to schefter,the bucs will not pursue haynesworth?this could be debated however!people reportedly in the hunt for the man that could command the first defensive 100m contract are tennessee,detriot and apparently washington.how the skins will accomplish this feat is unbeknown to me as we have so little cap room and we have just signed deangelo hall to a big deal.however on the flip side,if we do manage to sign the best player on the market,they are saying it will increase the productivity of hall,jason taylor and could finally elevate the redskins as a whole.we can only wait and pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
other notable defensive players out there are ray lewis,bart scott and brian dawkins as allan has already pointed out.unfortunately for teenan,nmandi asumough was signed by the raiders!
on the offense kurt warner,jeff garcia,derrick ward and tj houshmanzadeh are among the prizes with brandon jacobs being tied up by the giants.
cant wait to see what happens,espiacailly on the haynesworth front and hope to complete my combine review soon,talk to you later ed!

senior bowl
hey ed,sorry for delay but here is the first of my draft blogs for ya.oh and i cant wait to see your basketball skills in action.
senior bowl
south 35 north 18
before the game mike mayock and charles davis both made predictions:
mike- pat white will be the mvp
davis- the winning team will win by 10 points or less
mike won
as you may or may not know,there was a lot of controversy over matt ryan's contract(deserved or not).in the upcoming years the league could see a rookie cap which tends to be bad news for agents. therefore with this in mind,more and more juniors and sophmores are coming into the league early.
in mayock's top 5 of every position the skill positions are dominated with juniors.qb rb and wr are all teaming with young athletic talent who are waiting to make their mark.however the juniors will be commented on in another post.
defense is once again strong this year with linebackers being the order of the day.from ilb's like rey maualuga and james lauriniatis to olb's such as brian cusshing,clay matthews and brian orakpo.the cream of the crop though is wake forrest olb aaron cuury,who mike thought of as the nation's top senior.
the secondary includes people like patrick chung,louis delmas and malcolm jenkins.
the d line is dominated by people such as bj raji,tyson jackson,fili moala and evander hood.
all the names i refered to are all on mike's list(bar mathews who is close and is also the 3rd usc linebaker entering the draft behind maualuga and cushing)
the other area that seems to be flooded with class nowadays is the o line.senior tackles and centres have continued to impress and will command a high salary,along with their high draft pick.eugene monroe,max unger and micheal oher among others will be snapped up quickly.
that concludes this first post with all rights belonging to the nfl,mike and charles.if you have any questions give me them all and i will have a separate section for the answers!
just a final point,your former coach jon gruden accentuated a point that not many will like to hear and some who think its overdue.the league is changing,the success of the wildcat has brought out a new position.most recently the newest position has been the hybrid linebacker/defensive end people like merriman;suggs.now its the hybrid running back/quarterback.someone who isnt used all the time but waiting for the chance to fool the d with a run and pass for 6.the mvp of the senior bowl was pat white,he is one of these hybrids.the most recent recipient of the heisman was tim tebow.he was the first sophmore to recieve the award.in 1 season he scored 50 touchdowns:25 passing 25 running.he is one of these hybrids.it is he who gruden refered to.when he comes out,there is a good chance he'll be number 1,get a huge contract and revolutionise the nfl,like so many predictions in the past however,the final product is yet unknown.
