Rookie OL Vladimir Ducasse feels blessed to be among one of the best O-lines in the league.

RB Brandon Moore is not a fan of the new overtime rules, which could expand to regular games this season.

QB Mark Sanchez wouldn't take sides on Arizona immigration.

Australian Rugby star Greg Inglis could become Gang Green's kick returner, or possibly an OLB if Cro ends up as KR.
