It all depends on Al's kid. Is Al Davis's son anywhere close to pops when it comes to micromanaging? If he is they'll have a hard time getting a big name GM in Oakland. Someone like Cowher or Dungy would require a good deal of autonomy. I really don't know anything about the new man in charge since Al was such an overwhelming force during his life.

If Minnesota gets a new stadium with a retractable roof they'll probably get a Super Bowl since the NFL has been rewarding teams that build stadiums with a Super Bowl.

Miami just spent a lot of money building the Marlins a brand new state of the art stadium. It would be kinda hard for the city to justify spending all that on a team with almost no real fan base while declining to help Miami's most famous pro sports franchise in similar fashion.

Thats why AL's son Mark is hiring a GM, he has already came out and said that he will continue to own the team, but not "run" the team like AL did...

IRVING, Texas -- Tom Brady’s team hasn’t been held to less than 30 points since the last time Rob Ryan had a bye week to prepare for the Patriots.

Dallas’ defense eagerly anticipates the challenge of trying to duplicate the success the Browns had against Brady and Co. in a stunning 30-14 win for Cleveland in Week 9 of last season.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the Browns provided the blueprint for beating Brady. The Cowboys are studying the film from that game, but they can’t just expect to confuse Brady by using the same unorthodox looks and dialing up the same exotic blitzes.

“That same film that we’re watching, Tom Brady’s watching,” cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. “He’s not going to let you do the same things.”

There’s much more where that came from.

Defensive end Kenyon Coleman, one of two Dallas defensive starters Ryan recruited from Cleveland, said the Cowboys are “doing way more” from a scheme standpoint than the Browns did last season. Prepare to see plenty of Ryan’s most creative packages Sunday afternoon.

Coleman’s description of this week’s game plan: “I would say pretty much it’s the kitchen sink, to put it lightly.”

The element of surprise won’t be as much of an advantage for the Cowboys as it was for the Browns against Brady’s Patriots a year ago.

That’s true from a scheme standpoint. A challenge for Ryan is to try to duplicate some of the things that bothered Brady last year while disguising the blitzes and coverages differently.

It’s even truer from a perception standpoint. The Browns were 2-5 when they played New England last season, perhaps causing the Patriots to overlook Cleveland a little. That won’t happen with Ryan bringing the NFL’s second-ranked defense to Foxboro.

“The bottom line is when we played them last year, it wasn’t like we were rolling,” Coleman said. “However they perceived us in Cleveland, I don’t know. We just have to realize we are going to get their A-effort this year.”

The Cowboys believe they’ll be ready. They know their defensive coordinator will be.

“Anybody who knows Rob,” Cleveland import safety Abram Elam said, “knows he’s relishing this game.”

Dallas is going to give up over 40 points, would be suprised if the Cowboys give up less than 40 points

lol if you guys give up 40 were going 50

Brady gutted us (that 07 year) the last time we played.

Cowboys have the #1 run stop defense so I wouldn't be shocked if they got some pressure, and it was allot closer then it really could be.

Where is Cowboys ranked in pass defense?

Top 20 I think (might be like 15)

Terjyn · 10-13-2011, 10:42 AM

The Cowboys are 14th in pass defense, giving up 230 yards/game.

*EDIT* For what it's worth, overall they are 4th, giving up 291.8 yards per game.

Thats why I won't be shocked if they pummeled Brady, and maybe lost by 3-10.

NFL fined Saints safety Roman Harper $15,000 for his late hit on Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith after a touchdown Sunday.

Harper deserved more than a $15,000 fine for that cheap shot. I think intentional hits like that deserve bigger fines than accidental facemasks or hits to the head. He should have been thrown out as well.

That was more than a cheap shot….it was a b!tch move.

All he did was shove him, I think $15,000 fit the deed.

Austin Collie said he is not frustrated by his lack of chances so far this season.
Through five games last year, Collie had 37 catches for 446 yards and five touchdowns. Through five games this season, he has 12 catches for 119 yards and no touchdowns. "You've got to understand the circumstances," Collie said. With Peyton Manning likely done for the year and the offensive line in shambles, the Colts are running two-wide sets often. Collie's season does not project to turn around.

That was a lot more than a shove, it was a full hit well after Smith had already crossed the goal line and let his guard down.

Batman1980 · 10-13-2011, 01:54 PM

It was dirty but I've seen worse before after a TD that didn't even get fined. Now I'm wondering how much that actually hurt Harper's pocket.

Not much. In July Harper signed a new four-year, $28.5 million contract with $16 million guaranteed.
