He's no Jahri Evans.

It turns out Cleveland will have a rookie contributer from day 1 after all. Antwan Peek tore his patella tendon yesterday ending his season and more likely than not his career. This opens the door for Alex Hall who will be playing a huge role in our defense now. Hopefully he keeps up his current learning curve because he's been growing and improving at a rapid rate...we're going to need that to continue to be successful this season.

But Long has looked good and held his own so there's no reason to move him from LT, that way we can keep Carey at RT where he could be a Pro Bowler.
Branden Albert on the other hand, hasn't even been on the field. He's been hurt almost all TC and still will take over at LT not because he has been there and played well and deserved to hold that spot, but instead he has it basically because if he didn't they would be stuck with McIntosh at LT. For those who forget, McIntosh was let go by the 1-15 Dolphins in favor of LJ freakin Shelton. KC has no choice but to play Albert there even if he sucks, Miami has the choice to move Long if he struggled because they have another good young option for LT in Vernon Carey.

Way to talk out your rear. Herb Taylor would be the left tackle if Albert struggled or was out, not McIntosh. Herm Edwards has said he will be ready to pull Albert if he is struggling too bad.
The Dolphins were not 1-15 when they let go of McIntosh, they were 1-15 after they let go of him. And the starter was Carey last time I checked, not LJ Shelton.
Carey could be a pro bowler at RT? WTF are you smoking.

Ok, sorry the Dolphins were 6-10, upgraded to LJ Shelton and still went 1-15. Can you imagine how bad McIntosh must have been to get let go by a team that wasn't even good enough to get 2 wins.
Dude, they let go of McIntosh because they signed LJ Shelton. Then they shifted Carey to LT and put Shelton at RT. If it were not for signing LJ Shelton, Miami would have resigned McIntosh to man RT. The Carey move was going to happen either way. Get your facts straight.
Go watch Carey play and listen to anaylsis on him before you make stupid comments about his potential.

DeSean Jackson is officially starting at the Z (flanker) WR on Sunday. :)

Dear Woodson. The Rams' defense doesn't have to worry about him running a slant then.

How's Tye Hill doing? He'd be matched up with D-Jax right?
Haven't heard Hill's name since it was announced in 06.

I really want DeSean to do well in the NFL. He was my favourite prospect in last years draft and I REALLY wanted him to be a Buccaneer. Instead I had to settle for Dexter Jackson. :(

Trust me Dexter Jackson can absolutely fly. I would know :(
I want Jackson to do well obviously. I hated him at the draft because I thought the Eagles were going to take him at 19. I'm cool with him in the second, though I really hope that extremely low ypc last year was simply an aberration.

As much of a fan of Jackson's as I am I don't see that YPC going up very much from his last year @ Cal in his new role in the slot.
He's still under the radar though for OROY when he really shouldn't. I'm certain he's going to be given as much opportunity to succeed as any other rook and he will be counted on early into the season. His transition to this point has been relatively impressive for a first-year receiver and with all the injuries to the Eagles receiving core Donovan McNabb may just find himself a new favorite target. :)

Just hope Dexter Jackson's ST TD wasn't an aberration.

Wow, Darren McFadden is starting off as a backup? I thought he'd start for sure. Also, receivers/tight ends is pretty sad.

Dallas will have quite a bit of rookie contribution week 1...Felix Jones and Martellus Bennett will play quite a bit on offense and both are needed with the injuries to the WR's, I expect both to catch quite a few balls and Felix will make something special happen...Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick also look to be playing nearly the whole game, both will be in our Nickel and Dime formations and being without Newman these guys will get some quality snaps.
Should get a good chance to see how these guys look early on, but I like Bennett to be the X-factor and have the biggest impact.

Man, Broncos are counting on 3 rookies to really make their offense explode.
I think Ryan Clady is going to be a beast of a LT. He will have some struggles this year, as most rookie tackles do, but in all will do very well this year.
Peyton Hillis looked amazing at FB in preseason, I think this kid will become a Pro Bowl FB in the future.
Eddie Royal looks like he could become a very solid #2 WR for the Broncos and be in the mold of Santana Moss and Steve Smith, small guys, but can make most catches. I hated the pick at the time, but this kid has shown a lot of promise and I'm excited to see how he performs.

He's going to do some very good things as a receiving option out of the backfield, I think, even if it doesn't happen Week One. I'd like to see Felix do some return work too, but maybe Adam Jones is the Jones who contributes there. If he's active that is, he's too rusty at corner at the moment.

Yea he is, sadly he might face Braylon quite a bit in passing situations and i know for a fact Cleveland will be picking on him just like the Chargers did...Adam Jones has been lobbying for KR duties along with PR, the team really likes Felix back there but due to his role in the offense didn't want to throw him back there...Can't wait to check out our new ST unit though, and if you catch the game watch out for Scandrick, this guy has been playing lights out all camp and he might play better then Jenkins this game.
