You not watch this year's draft? Al Davis is a changed man!

We actually took top players in positions we needed!

Btw, Jared Veldheer, the tallest Centre in the NFL at 6'8.

Have to say it's a bit pants this college football. Just seems to be run, run and QB run.

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Sat Sep 04, 2010 11:26 pm  

Quite a few players cut that may become backups at other teams shortly me thinks

TJ Houshmanzadeh
Matt Leinart
Willie Parker
Pat White
Chris Simms
Jarvis Green
Derrick Burgess

A few trades by the Pats too to get some roster depth

It depends on the schemes the teams run, some run the HORRIBLE triple option, then others play exclusively in shotgun spread, of course the pro-style teams are the best to watch.

Yeah it's all been spread offenses tonight. How impressive are college stadia BTW? Unbelieveable. The Michigan stadium holds 110k! Bigger than any NFL stadia as far as I know.

Same with high school football over there, some of them teams get 25-30k a week

We're lucky to get 10 people to come and watch us in Stoke.

Then again, AF is probably the biggest English University sport overall, Birmingham take things to a new level. They get 4K for their season opener usually.

I'm pretty sure the biggest NFL stadium is Washington's around 90k.

Michigan is 109,901 which is the largest American Football stadiums followed by Beaver Stadium in Penn State which is 107,282.
