What We Have Learned

Rob Legrow, who is to technology what Ted Stevens is to ethics, still can't figure out how to post to a blog, so his words start here:

Well with a game to go tonight that might tell us a whole lot we'll recap this weekends action.


Donnie Avery is for real. Deep threat extraordinare.

Matt Cassell is coming along. Shocking that right now there are only about 8 or 9 starting QBs I'd take in front of him. That means Matt Cassell is a Top 10 QB. Yes. That is correct. A man who had not started a game since high school 8 weeks ago is now a top ten NFL QB. Look at the league, who would you rather have?
Peyton
Brees
Rivers
Schaub
Cutler
Warner

Don't give me Favre, he isn't a quarterback, he's a football thrower. He is going to cost them big time down there in the Meadowlands and its going to be when it counts.
I would say outside of those 6 its a toss up. Kerry Collins? David Garrard? Jason Campbell? Matt Ryan? I don't see the seperation between them and Cassell and if anything I would say that his play has markedly improved the past two weeks while theres has been stagnant at best. Jeff Garcia? No thanks.
So Cassell keeps improving, keeps getting better. He is starting to get a real feel for Moss and Welker. The ground game if Morris can get back within two weeks has a nice little pop with he and Ben Jarvis Green Ellis Watson Hobbs Bellichick or BeeGee for short hitting those holes.
And in a league where Kerry Collins is helming the best team in the league? Anything is possible.

The biggest Patriots question is: How can they get CB help? Merriweather and Sanders look good back there but O'Neal and Hobbs are brutal. Don't forget that this has been thier Achilles Heel for 4 years now or since the departure of Ty Law. The lack of being able to give safety help on the run and instead having to always roll coverage has allowed for Tight Ends in this league and speed rushers to go OFF, especially with the suddenly slow footed OLB situation and the rapid decline of Tedy Bruschi.

Drew Brees is nasty, Phillip Rivers is equally raw and I guarantee he and Cutler make the AFC West quite fun for a few years with a legitimate rivalry. Bottom line: I dont think these guys like each other.

Houston is back on track.

Starting a team, first Wide Reciever I take is Roddy White. R.A.W.

Then Andre Johnson.

I do not however take Plaxico Burress.

I still think Cleveland would be far better served to start Brady Quinn right now.

Also, the Soldier has run his course. I'd bench him.
Only possible thing that could have saved Vernon Davis from being the black Ryan Leaf just happened.

You can pick up Mewelde Moore now.
