  1. This might come as a shock to you, so you may want to sit down.

     

    Taylor Martinez isn't a pro athlete. He's a college student. He's not earning millions of dollars a year, he's on scholarship. He is dealing with the pressure, he's just doing it in a way that the press doesn't like. I say screw the press.

     

    I will be on the side of the college student 100% of the time in that scenario. The press don't deserve a damned thing from a college student.

     

    +1...well said

     

    I don't mind if he's not the best speaker in the world. Check this video of Tannehill from A&M.

    http://v4.texags.com/Stories/3100 - Interview with Ryan Tannehill

     

    Tannehill has just lost 2 games in a row due to bad second half performances by the offense. The fans are upset I'm sure. He's not the greatest speaker, but he says what he is feeling. And you can tell he cares. Taylor's standoffish attitude, and answering questions with 'whatever,' gives the impression that he doesn't care. We all care so much about this team, this football program, this state.. We just want a quarterback who will do the same.

  2. Did Mike McNeill make the Colts final roster then? I'm kind of surprised with how deep they are at TE (Clark and Tamme) I guess they value the position enough to keep another guy around. They probably just assume Clark will go out with another injury this year.

  3. We jumped Texas in the AP poll ..ha All the way to number 6. Who is the writer that keeps voting Texas number one? 7th in the coaches poll. And someone voted us #1! Sarkisian?

     

    AP:

    1 Alabama (53) 3-0 1492

    2 Ohio State (5) 3-0 1435

    3 Boise State (1) 2-0 1333

    4 TCU 3-0 1280

    5 Oregon 3-0 1238

    6 Nebraska 3-0 1175

    7 Texas (1) 3-0 1164

    8 Oklahoma 3-0 1114

    9 Florida 3-0 1044

    10 Arkansas 3-0 903

     

    Coaches:

    1 Alabama (55) 3-0 1470

    2 Ohio State (3) 3-0 1410

    3 Boise State 2-0 1291

    4 Texas 3-0 1251

    5 TCU 3-0 1188

    6 Oregon 3-0 1181

    7 Nebraska (1) 3-0 1135

    8 Florida 3-0 1092

    9 Oklahoma 3-0 1060

    10 Wisconsin 3-0 884

  4. Masoli is now set to be the starter at Ole Miss now...we know the kids a baller, but do you think we should have tried to get him to transfer here? Its a mute point now, but I've always been a fan, and at worst he could have provided some great depth. There are some serious character issues there, but in my opinion its outweighed by the positive. Thoughts?

     

    Chalk up another No vote. And it's a moot point, not a mute point. :)

  5. Damn, just look at our recent history against them.....

     

     

    09/23/2000 Lincoln W 42-13 1/ 78,070

    09/11/1982 Lincoln W 42-7 3/ 76,013

    09/12/1981 Iowa City L 7-10 7/ 60,160

    No wonder they haven't wanted to play us lately!

     

    They had some really bad years in the 90's up to about 2001 when Ferentz turned it around. It is probably a good thing we didn't play them in 2004-2006!

  6. Lucky is going to have a tough road to hoe to make the Jets roster. I could see him being on the practice squad though. They have Shonn Greene, LT and Joe McKnight at RB

     

    btw, I think they moved Danny Woodhead to slot WR. That must be the new spot for little RB's, the Chiefs drafted Dexter McCluster for the same position.

  7. There's a fast track they run on at the UNL pro day, so I wouldn't be too excited about 40 times. That said, I really hope Chris Brooks latches on somewhere. For a guy who was supposed to be our most talented receiver, he really got crap for opportunities during his time here - and didn't complain or leave.

     

    I am surprised Asante didn't run a little faster though. Thought he was an athletic freak who would be more of a workout warrior.

     

    What makes it a fast track? Is it not on the field turf like the combine?

  8. He'll either be alongside Carriker or Vanden Bosch, so it'll be fun to watch either way. For some reason I'd rather see him in Lions gear.

     

    So he can relive a Nebraska type offense most of his career? <_< The only way you could be any more cruel is to have Cosgrove take over as the defensive coach. chuckleshuffle

    :blink: Like the Rams are gonna be any better? Or Tampa Bay for that matter....

     

    Exactly. I think the Lions are going to be better much sooner than the Rams. They already have a good young starting QB, the rams have got no one.

  9. That'd be cool if Suh and Vanden Bosch are on the same line. Especially if they dominate together! I don't think the Burleson signing is very good though.

     

    I heard the Bears might go after Peppers too.

  10. I was thinking about this myself. A legit 4.4 is rare.

     

    This article had some decent info, about timing errors and such. They also had Joe Haden, and Florida's 40 board, which is a crock. They had him running a 4.33 at Florida, his actual time was a 4.57 at the combine! Only off by .24!

    I'm going to add .2 to whatever 40 time i see
