Month: August 2009

By Dalton Del Don Matt Schaub suffered an ankle sprain during the Texans’ loss to the Vikings Monday, but he was able to play through it – Schaub went 10-for-14 with 108 yards passing (7.7 YPA). The 0:1 TD:INT ratio doesn’t impress, but Schaub played through pain and once again led productive drives like he…

By Dalton Del Don RISERS Ray Rice – Already the favorite to get the majority of touches in Baltimore’s backfield, Rice totaled 32 yards with a touchdown during the team’s second preseason game against a tough Jets’ defense. More importantly, Rice was used at the goal line, and if that continues into the regular season,…

By Dalton Del Don Leon Washington totaled 83 yards with a touchdown in Monday’s preseason loss to Baltimore – Washington was without question the best offensive player on the field Monday, and it’s worth noting he did that damage in just one half (and on 10 touches) against a tough Baltimore defense playing most of…

By Dalton Del Don Beanie Wells (right ankle) only participated in individual drills during Wednesday’s practice – After recently aggravating the injury, Wells’ status for Saturday’s preseason game is still up in the air, and he continues to miss valuable practice time. The rookie hasn’t participated in a full practice this summer, and he wasn’t…

Mostly football, with some Stephen Strasburg love thrown in. Check it out. If you’re at work, there are a couple naughty words used, just so you know.

By Dalton Del Don RISERS Ronnie Brown, RB, MIA – Considering four of his 10 touchdowns last season came in one game when Miami caught New England off guard using the Wildcat, Brown’s 2008 season wasn’t quite as good as it appeared on paper. The main problem was his use, as the team implemented a…

Like last year, I plan on putting together a football league filled with readers of this here site. Hopefully it won’t be quite as drama filled as the baseball version has been but competitive nevertheless. Anyway, e-mail me at seven3d@aol.com or throw your hat in the ring under the comments section if you want in.…

By Dalton Del Don Ahmad Bradshaw totaled 52 yards with a touchdown on just seven touches versus the Panthers – And he looked highly impressive doing so. With Andre Brown (Achilles’ tendon) out for the season, Bradshaw’s status as the RB2 is even stronger, not that he wasn’t already locked into the position. Brandon Jacobs…

More discussion regarding the recent Yahoo Friends & Family draft I was in.

By Dalton Del Don Risers Knowshon Moreno, RB, DEN – After agreeing to a five-year contract last week, Moreno is no longer a holdout. While he’s predictably listed lower on the depth chart, Moreno has already been getting reps with the first team in practice and is scheduled to play in Denver’s preseason opener Friday.…

By Dalton Del Don Despite rumors to the contrary, Thomas Jones is not being shopped by the Jets – With what appears to be a strong defense, a rookie QB and a terrific offensive line, the Jets’ running game should be extremely productive this season. However, it also looks like a three-headed monster. As a…
