thoughts about the NFL
Well football fans, the NFL has ended its preseason and this Thursday, will start the first game of what they call "kickoff weekend". I can't wait and plan to watch as much NFL as I can. I would like to share a few thoughts about the preseason and the offseason as we get ready to start the 2009 NFL season:
1. Obviously the big story was the reinstatement of Michael Vick to the league. A lot of dog owners I know aren't happy that he's getting to play again. I do believe in giving a second chance to someone. Hopefully, he'll take advantage of this 2nd chance. I know the Eagles are excited to have his play-making abilities. One person that isn't happy about Vick joining the Eagles is A.J. Feeley. He's been with the Eagles a long time and this past weekend, he was cut. By the end of the season, we'll know if this experiment worked.
2. A lot of former Razorbacks were cut by teams. Andrew Davie and Marcus Monk were cut by the Carolina Panthers just to name a couple. I didn't think that Davie would have much of a shot, but I thought Monk had a decent shot to make the roster. The Panthers are in need of tall, athletic receivers. Its obvious that Monk's knee injury suffered before the start of his senior season at Arkansas really was worse than Houston Nutt let on. Other former Hogs let go were DeCori Birmingham, Jamar Love, and Jose Valdez. Hopefully, those guys will latch on w/ other teams.
3. Another big story was Brett Favre unretiring again and signing with the Minnesota Vikings. Its obvious that Brett just can't leave the game. At 40 though, he is better than a lot of 30ish quarterbacks. One rumor coming out of Minnesota this past week was that the Vikings were shopping Tarvaris Jackson around. Honestly, I never thought that he was a starting quarterback. He couldn't cut it at Arkansas, but had a decent career at Alabama State. Only time will tell on this one.
4. If you're an offensive coordinator, you better do your job and get results. The Bills, Chiefs, and Buccaneers all fired their offensive coordinator's BEFORE the season began. Wow!!! I bet they'll be some head coaches on the hot seat towards the end of the season. It certainly is all about what you did for me lately.
