The Seahawks are a shame... they lose to SF twice??? Are you kidding me... Didn't the Green Bay Packers just beat SF in SF... yet they can punk the Seahawks at home... I hope the Seahawks don't make the playoffs... They made Alex Smith look like a Top QB in the 4th Qtr and forgot how to tackle Frank Gore... and to score 7 points... forget that junk score at the end... you are telling me they couldn't get into field goal position all game??? Hasselbeck sucks, Alexander has been jinxed.... and the Seattle Seachickens couldn't stop a powder puff team.

I just caught the afternoon session on Saturday and will be heading back today for the 2pm session and wanted to provide so observations... Camp opened Friday and things were still moving slow... it's the last camp in Oxnard so the place was packed... I was lucky to get down to the field before the closed off that section off and made people wait in line to get back down if they wanted to leave the field. Bledsoe looked good, only overthrew Owens on one pass.... Owens on the other hand was impressive... and I say this because it's practice and he seemed to be going after it... the other thing that was cool is he seemed to be getting along with the players and be in a good mood... I know, early in camp... he spent some time tossing the ball around with Sam Hurd, a Rookie WR out of N. Illinois... Owens made some great catches... and this boy is still fast, its like he's born to run toward the endzone after catching the ball... After practice he was heading toward the crowd, and while Bledsoe made a right turn towards the VIP section and didn't hit the main crowd, even though everyone yelled for him... when TO's name was yelled, he got a big smile and came over and signed for the masses, then on his way in, saw a large group of kids and stopped to sign for them. It's early, but if TO can stay this way, he's going to be huge for Dallas and Bledsoe. Glenn was Glenn... you could see that Bledsoe had confidence in him... Terrance Cooper had stone hands... he may have dropped 3-4 balls... and thats just what I saw. Patrick Crayton looked healthy.... and moved well. Sean Ryan and Brett Pierce (TE's) seemed like huge targets and were catching everything. They ran the passing drills to the RB's on the field next to me... Julius Jones looked good.... both running the ball and catching the ball... I didn't see any drops... Marion Barber looks fast in person... not sure how fast he really is, but he made some nice moves catching the ball. On play in particular, he made a great over the shoulder catch on a 15 yard out that was overthrown... Tyson Thompson looked thrid string.... McBriar looked a little shaking punting early, but toward the end of practice, he boomed a couple of punts.... Mike Vanderjagt was catching the punts and he can catch... and was totally playing up to the crowd... he's happy in Dallas... Also, Jerry Jones grandson "Shy" was with Mike "trying" to catch punts... he's a little guy and I was sure he was going to take one in the nose... he didn't catch anything but he did come over and play up the crowd and signed a BUNCH of autographs which has no fantasy bearing but was funny to watch... I'll post more that I see today and will pay more attention to Defense also...

12 team league, 3 keepers... roster size 2QB, 4RB, 4WR, 1TE, 1K, 2DEF, 2FLEX I traded up in the 5th round to 5.01 to take him.... I think there was like 12-14 RB's kept. RBs left were D'angelo Williams, Barlow, Lundy, Benson, Houston

I just wanna know how you pick up Turner NOW... in a dynasty league??? Wow, he should be on teams in MOST leagues

The fact you started Maroney over Fred Taylor isn't CBS's fault...it's yours... CBS screwed up cause they can't keep their site running at the most critical time... but no way should you have had Maroney in for Fred Taylor... thats your BAD

Maybe it cause he will be upset when he loses his bet

First join in like Oct 2000 as Steve4FB Changed in 01 to Cixelsyd

Is it a start 2 QB league? That may explain somethings... If not, how is Drew "grampa" Bledsoe the best QB you could pull in round 8. When you post a goofy drafted team, you should explain why it went that way... like I got LJ at #4 overall cause the guy at 2 had a hard on for manning... or you have a bunch of RB crazy guys, so everyone went RB for the first 23 picks.... People strike out at posts like this usually cause no info is given and the poster thinks he did so well...

Warner

McNabb is just such a Chunky Soup kinda guy, and everyone's eaten Chunky Soup... so it's hard for alot of people doing Rankings to forget about him.... Brady completed a pass to 1/2 the team last year.... he's rated where he is because he is that good... with 3 great receivers he would be sick, but NE likes to shop for receivers at the Goodwill. Bulger can't stay healthy, but the same can be said for McNabb... But I 1/2 agree with you... out of those 3 it should read Brady, Bulger.... McNabb

I have not problem with the first 3 rounds.... I don't like Hasselbeck in the 4th... but, how long is too long, cause your 5th and 6th picks are solid.... so I'd like to know what QB's were there in the 7th and RB's available in the 4th... Otherwise, it's a good team... you fixed the Martin goof and you got Dillons backup... The key is what you do with the body of work.... I've seen a few teams lose there first 3 picks to injury or suckiness and then managed his team to a superbowl win...

What are the lineup requirements? If it's start 2RB and a flex then you are not in great shape as you only have 2RB's and a bunch of rookies that are backups right now. You stole Jackson in the 2nd.... what that the 15th pick??? Must have been a few WR taken between your 1st and 2nd pick. So I love the way it started... Jackson as your 2nd WR is not good.... he's got issues in camp and you are taking a big risk with so little RB depth.... Though I like Manning and Bulger, you can only start one (most likely) so I would have liked to see what you could have had if you changed up the WR and QB picks... I like Shockey... but again looking at rounds 4-8, it seems like you let alot of talent get away...

Your post is confusing... you don't have rules, so that makes it hard... every league is different... And you give no info on any of your rules... so no one is going to be able to help you....

Sunday was a single session in the afternoon.... I plan on going back later this week or next week and will include new updates to this post as things will start coming clearer... after really 4 practices, its hard to say anything except to post some observations... Bledsoe looked ok today... he didn't air it out, and they only ran 7-7 drills, not 11-11.... He hit TO on some slants and worked with JJ on screens... He missed TO on a short slant, throwing behind him... but he will be fine.... Still looked pretty sharp otherwise and he has alot of weapons... Romo - this experiment should stop... I know it's only sunday, but he doesn't look good out there, overthowing quite often... Drew Henson looked much sharper... didn't see much of Mroz today, as he mainly helped on drills Saturday.... Day 2 went to Julius Jones... he had one of the plays that got the crowd cheering, making a nice cutback move that broke him open.... Barber had a quiet day. Tyson still looks rusty out there. Whitten ran over Roy Williams today... and short slant.... wasn't a HUGE collison, but for this early, was enough to put Roy on his tail and get a reaction from the crowd... They have alot of TE's in camp (at least 7)... no one really stood out besides whitten today. TO looked good again... he made some nice catches over the middle, and during drills just looks so much sharper than most.... Terry Glenn is having a solid start... he was trailing Owens in a shuttle drill and they looked syncronized.... funny how the footwork between vets and the youngsters is pretty clear watching the drills... It appeared (only 2 days) that Owens is working with Sam Hurd, don't know if there is a connection, but he warms up with him each day... and when they were throwing the ball to each other, seemed like TO was coaching his kid... Just something to watch.... Crayton was more involved today, though he seems to still get more balls from Romo than Bledsoe... The camp was slow today... plays weren't developing... Bledsoe actually took off running on one play.... a couple of plays restarted.... One of the young wides (don't remember which one) was running with the entire team... across the field... and back... and then everyone started a second time... coach called them back... but it took him 20 yards to realize everyone reset.... focus... Got to see Vanderjagt in action... he looked so sharp warming up.... Tee the ball up, step back, step up, kick.... He rotated with Shaun Suisham.... even the short kicks... it was clear who the veteren was and who the rookie was... Shaun would sit and wait, and wait... then kick as hard as he could from 20 yards.... then Mike would step up and kick it consistently the same height through the uprights, regardless of distance.... But when the team lined up, Mike missed his first one wide right.... Also, the punters first punt was horrible... but after that things got moving... Not alot happened... but it was good to see Bledsoe and Owens talking... Owens interacting with the receivers.... Owens was on the field about 8 mins before the official start time.... It will be nice to see more intense practices in the coming weeks... Jerry Jones came out and signed ALOT of autographs for the fans... this was nice to see... There was alot of media today, so they stole alot of players from the fans, and the autograph time spent was very short, though they did spread out more then they did yesterday...

I'm heading to Cowboys Camp on Saturday...looking for anyone who has past experience at this camp, any tips... ect... also, anyone heading out there from here?

Guy from our league is a HUGE Viking fan... loves Culpepper... so much he drafted him 3rd overall last year....

Been with sportsline since 2001.... we love it... we use other for playoff leagues and for other leagues I'm in, but Sportsline is the cleanest to mean... best presenation of the data... the league news is a joke... and alot of folks jump on the bitter ban wagon about the cost... lack of service... etc... But we have had no problems and love the look and feel of the site... But to each his own...

Did you even read his post... he hasn't netted anyone... he just gave away the option of choosing who he wants... to net who is left over.... not that 3 is a bad spot... be he was #1, had position and GAVE it away... Don't enable him... he made a mistake.... it was a bad move...

Not sure what you came here looking for... no one is going to applaud you for trading spots... that is a BAD move... you gave away the advantage.... he got more value then you.... you should have AT LEAST got a 4th round pick out of it... I moved down 4 spots from the #4 spot a few years ago and got an extra 4th rounder.... This sounds like a case where you read too many fantasy mags about the top tier RB's and outsmarted your self.... you gotta spend money to make money... not give away money.... I don't like the move at all... Sorry

Roger Rotter may be the biggest sleeper... He definately must be related to someone at FOXSports.... My prediction for 2006... Roger Rotter spends the season on the UL.... Unemployment Line....

Points Per Crutch??? Maybe he's hoping for more ACL tears??? Deuce in the 2nd is a joke... and if WR started flying early, then there had to be other backs or get a better wide in the 2nd and pull a RB in the 3rd/4th... Alot of your picks seem early... premature drafting can be treated... maybe start you draft late august???

Fixed it for ya

We had the same thing happen with Kordell that year... drafted #1.... but then the guyt traded Kordell during the draft for Chis Carter and some other QB... he was a big Vikings fan, and loaded up on Vikings... Robert Smith, Leroy Hoard... He had like 7 Vikings... and that was the year they got the scoring title... he ended up taking 2nd that year... But the best was last year... our leage started in 97... lots of experienced players... but after mannings year things got crazy... Manning went 2nd... Culpepper went thrid (viking fan)... then another guy decided at the 10 spot that WR was the way to go, so he went Harriosn, Moss, and then Kerry Collins... 1, 2, 3 It just was a crazy draft.... McNabb went in the 2nd also... we are a 6pt TD for QB's, but still this was wild... I think our draft will be back to normal this year... but last year was wild...

I love it when someone posts something idiotic... like... like... are any saints first rounders... then he calls someone out about joining his league... Sounds like you are getting tired of just playing with yourself....

Packer fan here... I'm not worried about the coaching change... I think it was much needed... The whole division is in flux and I feel the Pack can win the division this year...
