who is more responsible for the Greatest Show On Turf??
was it Mike Martz or Al Saunders?
Al Saunders was the offensive coordinator for the KC Chiefs the last few years, and before that was on the Rams with Martz during their prime.
I'm curious as to what ya'll think, cause guess who the deep pocket Redskins have as their new offensive coordinator?
:wtf: |

| Peerless price signs with the Bills,think he should have done that about 3 years ago..too bad Moulds is gone because once again there is nobody to draw the heavy coverage away from him |

to me, this looks like the browns of a couple of years ago during that magical season with kelly holcombe (current bills starter) . they now have 3 deep threats (andre davis, lee evans, and peerless price) . no possession receivers (like they ever had any since andre reed.) . this is going to be interesting , if dick jauron pushes the right buttons. |

The Patriots offseason can now be considered somewhat of a success.they took care of business and made the big man happy.
Four-time Pro Bowl performer Richard Seymour, one of the league's most dominant and versatile front four defenders, on Wednesday reached agreement with the New England Patriots on a long-term contract extension, ESPN.com has learned.
Seymour
Neither the terms nor the financial details of the contract were immediately available. But the extension will certainly make Seymour one of the highest-paid defenders in the league, regardless of position, and might even permit him to play his entire career in a Patriots uniform. |

this is the first "big" signing by the pats this year . hopefully they have thoughts about making some more big free agent signings in the future . |

Report: Saban testifies on Williams' behalf
Dolphins coach Nick Saban testified on Ricky Williams' behalf during an appeal of a positive drug test that could cost the running back the entire 2006 season, according to a report in the Miami Herald.
A source told the Herald that Saban spoke for about 30 minutes over the telephone Monday. Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene did not return a message from the Herald on Tuesday, but another attorney with experience in this type of case told the newspaper that it's normal for a coach to speak on a player's behalf.
"Obviously, you know what the coach wants, he wants the guy to play," the attorney, who asked not to be identified, told the Herald. "It's still important for the coach to speak because it gives you a sense of a guy's character and how he fits within the team and how he works."
Williams and his lawyer met Monday with NFL counsel Jeff Pash for seven hours, seeking to have the league overturn a positive drug test.
The NFL has no timetable to rule on the appeal, Williams' lawyer David Cornwell said Tuesday.
Cornwell said he and his client presented "compelling evidence" showing that disciplining Williams would "undermine the integrity" of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
The league, which doesn't acknowledge drug tests until there is a final determination, had no comment on the appeal.
If the positive test is upheld, it would be Williams' fourth violation of the substance abuse policy, meaning at least a one-year suspension.
According to ESPN.com's John Clayton, the Dolphins are hoping they can get an expedited ruling on Williams' case before the NFL draft on April 29-30. While appeal processes of this nature generally move slowly, the fact that this case has been made so public means that a ruling will likely come sometime in the next two weeks.
Previous positive tests were for marijuana, which Williams acknowledged using. But the latest test apparently involved a drug other than marijuana.
Williams retired and sat out the 2004 season. He owes the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract and, motivated at least partly by the need for a paycheck, he returned last year to play for Saban.
Before being allowed to return, Williams served a four-game suspension at the start of the season for his third violation of the drug program. He still ran for 743 yards last season and averaged 4.4 yards per carry while sharing playing time with rookie Ronnie Brown. Williams gained 280 yards in the final two games when Brown was hurt.

Harrington picks Dolphins, awaits Millen's move
Joey Harrington finally decided he wants Miami to be his new home. Now he's asking Lions president Matt Millen to give him the chance to go there.
Harrington, who has been given permission to shop for a trade, told the Lions on Wednesday he wants to go the Dolphins and is firm about the decision. Because he is due a $4 million bonus in June, Harrington has some control over his future because no team wants to pick up his current contract.
After working out a two-year agreement with the Dolphins more than a week ago, Harrington asked Millen to release him or make a trade with the Dolphins so he can move on with his career.
"I look forward to joining the Miami Dolphins whenever I am released or a trade is completed," Harrington said Wednesday in a statement issued by his agent, David Dunn. "The Dolphins are an ascending team with great coaching and I can't wait to get started. I certainly appreciate all that the Ford family and Matt Millen did for me.
"I learned so much in Detroit and I will always value those relationships and that experience. At the same time, I am eager to get to work with my new team, whether that happens in a day, a week or a month," he said.
The Dolphins are offering a sixth-round choice in 2007. The Lions have been asking for a third- or fourth-round choice in this year's draft. Now it's up to Millen to make a concession in his demands or hold up any move until June 15 when Harrington is due the roster bonus.
Harrington was also being pursued by the Broncos but never made a visit to Denver. Harrington did visit the Bengals, but he didn't come to a contractual agreement.
Now that Harrington has made his decision, the ball is in Millen's court. |
