    Lance Briggs was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week: http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=4520600 Lance Briggs owns.

    Yeah, I think the receivers have been pretty good. I'm going to sound like a broken record here but this offense won't be very explosive without that receiver that you can throw the ball to when he isn't really open. Bennet will catch balls in traffic because he's got great hands but he's not going to physically dominate a corner and maybe a safety. Plus I don't really trust Turner to design a passing game that will get our guys in space consistently.

    Is Timmy boy supposed to be out for awhile?

    I wonder if when Miami is officially out of the playoff picture if they'll go full bore on the Wildcat with Pat White. I'd like to see what a legit passing threat could do back there if he got a lot of snaps.

    It's too bad USC only has 4 or 5 other 5-star RBs on which to rely... That's really been overblown, I think. Moody transferred, McKnight's been a disappointment, Gable can't see the field, Tyler is an uknown, and Bradford is a converted linebacker. The full back, Stanley Havili, gets a lot of touches. Out of all the heralded running backs no one has really established themselves. McKnight's come the closest but he's injury and fumble prone. I'd trade most of these guys for one Lendale White or Reggie Bush.

    I don't think notoriously is the right adverb to use when its describing a man's ability to heal quickly.

    Wonder how this will affect his draft status. Adversely. [/jack donaghy]

    Salmons shooting ability is real and he's a nice defender. But with Gordon gone I think we're going to see a lot of crossover-hesitation-crossover-hesitation-bad jumpshot this season. The guy loves to get his. On the other hand, we're going to need him to create his own shot and carry the team in stretches without BG.

    I'm still semi-optimistic. Because of the Bulls cap situation and the economy they'll be one of the few teams that can add a big piece at the deadline or sign one of the big fish in the offseason. After years and years of KG, Kobe, and Amare (among others) rumors they better get another star.

    So camp is in full swing with the first preseason game against the Pacers on Friday. Not too much news to report out of camp so far besides vague reports of so-and-so added muscle and an organizational focus on defense. Hollinger predicts we'll miss the playoffs which would be a huge bummer going into 2010 free agency: http://www.blogabull.com/2009/9/28/1059213/john-hollinger-optimistic-about For those haven't followed the differences between the 12 guys on the roster aganist Boston and the current one are that Gordon, Anthony Roberson, and Tim Thomas are gone while Jannero Pargo, James Johnson, and Taj Gibson have been added. Deng's looking healthy so it's incumbent on him not to suck because we'll need him if we're going to make any noise this year. Goals for the season: Continued development from Rose and Noah Improve the defensive rebounding Get Deng back to 2006-2007 levels or at least something approaching it Determine whether Tyrus will ever be anything more than a tease Keep the cornerstone pieces healthy going into the summer FA sweepstakes or trade market Either jettison VDN or see if he continues his modest improvement from the 2nd half of last season

    Looks like Johnson will be out for the rest of the year. Sounds like a pretty awful ordeal. It'll be on McKnight and Allen Bradford from here on out.
  13. SpongeWorthy
    Yeah, it could be argued that it is unacceptable for Hester to not be tackled on that TD catch, too. But Mora is silent on that one. The other thing is, it's easy to go after the kicker. All the other players on the team are going to roll with it. Kickers are largely disrespected by the rest of the roster. It's extremely common. So you call your kicker on the carpet and it doesn't cost you anything in the locker room. Call out other players in the media and you might find yourself sewing the seeds of discontent. Plus Olindo Mare is some kind of Mexican or something.

    That's a clutch throw by Clausen.
  15. SpongeWorthy
    Yeah but Wazzou might be the worst BCS team out there. Glad to see Stanford taking out U-Dub. UCLA at Stanford next weekend will be a pretty important game. I mean, I guess you're entitled to think that the Corp/Barkley debate isn't settled. You're completely delusional, but entitled.
  16. SpongeWorthy
    What about the win last year? I mean we don't even know how good PSU will ultimately be. Last year they were top notch and that was a crushing loss for them.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    There was no one within 30 yards of that Purdue receiver.
  18. SpongeWorthy
    Darryl Clark? No chance I think he'll be drafted. If you take out his Iowa games he's a good QB. Big, mobile, quick release, can actually take the ball from under center. I wouldn't be surprised if he could turn into a Gerrard type.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    If Clark were playing well I'd be talking about what an underrated pro prospect I think he is.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    Yep, Corp is going to be buried. Bates finally decided to open the playbook. Andddd it looks like PSU not playing anyone with a pulse is haunting them.

    7 Nation Army is quickly over taking Zombie Nation as the de facto stadium chanting song.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    Wow, Vontaze Burfict just Lavar Arringtoned UGA on a huge 4th down. Kid's a freak.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    Sam the Cooking Guy is much more entertaining than these games. Edit: omg, he's making bacon wrapped scallops. i want.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    Arkansas has no interest in hanging on to the ball.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    Haha Cal.
