If anybody wants to see Kris Durham play tonight, the Seahawks are playing the Chargers on ESPN right now.

I didn't see your thread, I made one the mods can delete it I can't figure out how. Woodhead has been getting most of the carries, Ridley got a goaline carry, they said he was in but it was kind of iffy. Woodhead was getting more push in the pile on other plays. The announcers called him "kyle" woodhead. Riley Cooper made a big catch, still looking for a link for that game. I have a link to the Patriots Jags game. Gabbert has looked decent for his first time.

DWID, just delete it. As long as no one posts in your thread you can. At least that's the way it was on the old board. Dennis Pitta with two receptions for 39 yards. Also Danny Woodhead has a lot of carries so far but only 17 yards.

Yeah I couldn't find the delete post button when editing. They gave Ridley the td, it was 1 yard td and didn't look like he made it in but they spent a few minutes reviewing it, I don't think it wouldve been one if it were regular season. He was getting love from affletes on the sideline and the announcers say "Ridley getting some veteran love on the sideline"...Gee I wonder why Gerhart didn't get that same love.

As far as Woodhead, if he gets more carries he can get his ypc up, it is 3.4, there really wasn't much there as far blocking, he was getting some pretty good push and getting his pad level low. I imagine the team has to shake some rust off for the first game. Ridley is averaging 2.8 ypc 14 yards on same amount of carries and he is supposed to be the powerback with more to prove right now, should be getting more push than Woodhead but that isn't the case which is good for Woodhead. I wonder where Lawfirm is, he had 1 good season but certainly didn't earn the right to sit the first game out like Brady and Welker so must be nicked up. I heard that Gronkowski was nicked up, hope he gets better.

Riley cooper's catch was 42 yards, hopefully he gets a chance to do this in the regular season. Celek with a td reception and Owen Schmitt got a carry. Ronnie Brown is averaging 2.4 ypc and Ray Rice 1.4.

Seahawks OT Russell Okung is hurt again. Is anybody surprised?

Travis LaBoy and Bront Bird have been seeing some time on the CHarger's D tonight.

Chase Reynolds and Charlie Whitehurst at the same time. Now that's a Seahawks team I could root for.

I wonder how the Broncos are ever going to win with no rushing game?

That was a pretty exotic blitz from the Cowboys, something you don't usually see in the preseason, teams usually keep things vanilla. Tebow had no time as soon as he dropped back there was a man in his face who he avoided but then another guy came from the other side a millisecond later. Looks like they might use this to "prove" why Tebow can't be an NFL qb, even though he had no time there. He has the same amount of passing yards on one attempt that Tavaris Jackson has on 5 (13). Ridley looks bad out there used every down despite his decent stats, he is catching everything but looks like a stiff fullback, I can't see much use for him except as a fullback/goalline guy that mainly contributes on special teams, he has no lateral agility and looks like a pure straight line runner.

If the Broncos want to solve their running issues and refuse to play Tebow at qb its simple, use Tebow as a rb, he would do better than Blount. That would make too much sense though.

It also looked like Denver's right Tackle "took a dive" on that play. Or was that the tight end?

And just now, ESPN's Mulatto announcer can't resist his urge to take a shot at Tebow, even though they're not covering that game.

During ESPN's halftime show, the only play they showed of Tebow was him getting sacked. At least Berman made a mention that he's 3/3 for 68 yards. Tom Jackson just drilled him further, saying, Tebow's no threat to Orton, and is "solidly locked in the backup spot."

When have ESPN's crew ever praised Kyle Orton? Probably never, at least until Tebow came along.

ESPN aka Cultural Marxism Central, also had unintentionally humorous coverage of the PGA. Steve Stricker tied a record for a major by shooting 63, but 90% of Cultural Marxism Central's coverage of the tournament revolved around the 30th ranked player in the world, an injury prone whoremonger who hasn't won a tournament in almost two years and who shot 77, but who is one-quarter Negro.

Truly the fall of the current system can't come soon enough.

Is anyone watching the Seahawks and Chargers game? Right before halftime, retard Mike Tirico said something like "Tebow already has a couple of questionable throws." I'm looking at his stats on NFL.com and he's 5 for 5. Is the moron drunk or what?

Tavaris was named Seattle's starter for the season before tonight's game. I'm pretty sure he lost the job before the first quarter was over.
If not, then Pete Carroll is following orders from some entity only interested in promoting minority QBs.

Tirico is an a$$hat wearing fool if there ever was one.

It looks like Ridley is getting all the carries, 15 so far compared to Danny's 5. Ryan Mallett is playing well though.

I also noticed San Diego has a guy named Walters from Cornell returning punts.

Bryan Walters just returned a kick 103 yards for a TD! Gruden was pretty happy for Walters, saying the Chargers are looking for KRs, and Walters could be an option.

Great return! They said he was on the practice squad last year. He must have slipped under the CF radar; I don't remember anyone mentioning him before. Maybe he'll be this year's Marc Mariani. . .
