Theismann and Gibbs

I guess it could be worse – they could have brought Bryant Gumbel back.

That said, I’m going to need some aspirin after listening to those two for 3 hours. At least Hammond is decent.

Has Gibbs ever done a game before? Theismann is pretty bad though like listening to Jaworski.

Gibbs used to do pre-games, IIRC, when NBC still has Sunday afternoon football. He was decent, I guess. It’s just that after four years of listening to the guy’s press conferences, I had enough of him (though he had nothing on the wretched torture that was listening to Jim Zorn).

Yes Woodson has made big plays and has gaudy stats...

but Revis has severed a limb from every single opposing offense he’s faced all year. Rex is 100% right. If people had actually broken down what he’s done all year, it wouldnt even be close.

I heard an argument for Woodson yesterday that I found ridiculous. It’s that he’s blitzed and covered tight ends, and Revis hasn’t. The reason Revis doesn’t blitz is he’s too valuable to lose in coverage, not because he couldn’t do it. And covering tight ends isn’t impressive. Other than San Diego, name a team where a tight end is the most dangerous receiver. If Revis can cover All Pro wideouts, he can cover tight ends.

I agree. Totally ridiculous.

Also heard him get credit bc he moves to safety sometimes. I don’t want to knock Woodson. He’s a great player. But he doesn’t do what Revis does. And he doesn’t impact the game the way Revis does.

Think about the way we are able to blitz bc coverage is a given; and the catches he prevents by allowing us to roll coverages to other receivers. Think about how he affects an opposing QB’s psyche by completely removing his favorite and most dangerous target.

He doesn’t just make plays. He makes you change your scheme and removes your most dangerous weapon.

He’s not just an all-pro player, he’s an all-time player.

Its complete BS, but its gonna be Woodson.

But i won’t give a single iota of a damn if we win tomorrow.

I’m sure Revis is the same, personal accolades are nice, but they don’t compare to the big one.

Defensive players like playing for the new coaches, not exactly surprising there compared to the last one. Another great list of links.

D Brick is a stud

He is right up there with Jake Long, Thomas and Ross

It is strange to think that in 2007 a lot of fans were calling him a massive bust, and now he is moving up to the elite level. Just shows that some players need time to adjust. Unfortunately I think Gholston just isn’t going to make the grade.

What injury is it to Long as well? not heard much about it

Just heard about this today

I doubt its something major, he probably doesnt want to get hurt in a meaningless game. And its not like he is passing on a free trip, he can just drive down to the beach if he wants.

I have seen the renders for the proposed JRS rennovations

Inside looks sweet, the outside not so much

So i was thinking...

In the bengals first game, denver pulled off a crazy hail mary to win on a deflection. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgXvaRUP4l4)

If leon Hall doesnt tip that ball, were going to New England in a hostile enviorment. Its amazing what one play can do
