    Check the listings to be sure, but I think the Seahawks-Cardinals game from Week 2 will re-air on NFL Network on Sunday, March 16 at 7pm eastern.

    I did watch much of that game and if memory serves I think Pace had a good game.

    His best game of the year was the one against Washington in Week 7. That was a good game. I figure that one will re-air in 5 weeks.
    Pace also had particularly good games against Pittsburgh, Detroit, Tampa Bay, and Atlanta.

    So you're telling me the Raiders were interested in drafting Ken O'Brien?
    If that is true, then why did they wait till the 12th round to finally draft a quarterback?

    BP: Okay, Calvin, we're willing to offer you $20 million, guaranteed.

    CP: Sounds great, where do I sign?

    BP: Uh...shit!

    Why wasn't Coleman worth the money we paid him?

    He was probably the Jets best DL.

    IMO he was well worth the money the Jets paid him.

    This is kind of offtopic but I couldnt help posting this note from Rotoworld-
    John Beck-QB-Dolphins Mar. 16 - 1:42 pm et
    John Beck hired a personal trainer this offseason and got his weight up to 216 pounds.
    Beck has always been a bit frail looking, leading to questions about his ability to hold up for 16 games. He avoided injuries as a rookie. Beck likely has the upper hand on Josh McCown to be the Dolphins' starting QB in 2008.

    What big time football player ever hired a personal trainer in the offseason? Arent football players supposed to know how to train themselves? Arent football players supposed to be disciplined enough to do what they need to do without a trainer? This guy has "bust" written all over him.

    I feel like his penetration was nil. I'm too lazy to look up stats, unlike many kind folks on this board.

    Yea I am going to have to disagree with you here as well I though Colemen held his own nicely. With more help along the line and LBs he'll even get better.

    Yeah, you're right. What business does a pro football player have with having someone to "coach" him in his workouts. It's not like your average pro has coaches or anything:rolleyes:

    Im serious but maybe im making too much out of it. I just dont think much of people who hire personal trainers. I think people who hire personal trainers are spoiled, lazy and undisciplined. I guess I made the jump that Beck is spoiled, lazy and undisciplined because he hired a personal trainer.

    I don't know about trainers, but Beck to me did not look like he is ever going to be a starter in this league. I know he was on the Dolphins, but he didn't look like Vince Young who can still lead teams to win despite having shit around him. I know thats a wild comparison, but I didn't see Beck's talent being wasted on a crappy team, I saw him an important cog of that crappy team.

    Right --if you don't think that teams pore every every piece of film and data on a guy, talk to every one they can, before laying out that kind of green, you are living in a dream world.

    When I first started reading this post, I figured the poster would say, "Hey, don't count out Beck yet. Look at the off-season work he's putting in."

    And then I read his "analysis."

    Every player in the NFL has had a personal trainer at some point. The football player's job is to play football, not educate himself on the complexities of human anatomy, muscle groups, proper nutrition, etc.

    KRhodesMVP, you've got "bust" written all over you. We're thinking about trading you to the Raiders for Raider Jeaux. Pack your bags, numbskull.

    Seriously? Vince Young leads a team with no talent? They had a top 8 D and a Young led 22nd ranked offense.

    Young is the new King of Intangibles though. I doubt any QB who throws 17 picks to 9 TDs is willing or leading anyone to victory.

    Honestly I think if Jay Cutler had a season like Young just had, people would be calling him a bust. I realize that can be taken in a million different ways...so I've decided that I feel this way because of a million different reasons...including/especially because of Young's magical intangibles.
