Mcnabb is gonna be in for a suprise when he sees he has few receivers that can react and catch the ball while not under pressure.

I guess this is supposed to be a knock on the redskins? Something tells me Desean Jackson drops 50%+ of those. Also the skins top 2 receivers (moss/cooley) were not featured. Nor was Malcom Kelly. I imagine that is also over a year old.

We might need a mod to merge this breaking news to the upcoming new CFL East thread:

MontrealAlouettes.com Staff

MONTREAL -- Montreal Alouettes' Vice President and General Manager Jim Popp and Head Coach Marc Trestman announced today the Alouettes' 2010 coaching staff.

Defensive Assistant & Football Operations Assistant Jean-Marc Edme

No offense to Canada, which is a country I respect, but what on earth could a guy named Jean-Marc Edme know about defensive football??

You respect Canada?

Oh my god, I'm touched.

With Randle El gone and only those two you mentioned thats what I meant by a few and I think that was Kelly's rookie season might've been hurt still. Desean actually makes some pretty nice catches, even though he is usually wide open, but I'd say he would catch over 50% of those.

As long as you people stay in your igloos, I have no problem with you.

Seriously though, they did an A++++ job with the Olympics. I even thought their humor over the 4th torch blunder was great.

Well, at least Canadians don't get drunk, eat fried chicken, have a gun shoot out with a loaded handgun and **** they're sister.

Humour over the 4 torch blunder huh?

All at the same time? Me personally I've never been able to accomplish all four feats in one night. Maybe a weekend, but definitely not at all once.

If I recall, they made light of the 4 torch blunder and it came across a lot better than if they had gotten all defensive or stressed about the whole thing.

What would you call that then?

I think The Four Way Indulgence would be sufficient.

So we couldn't find anyone who would go for a better offer than a 5th round pick for Santonio Holmes.

Despite his problem offseasons I still can't believe we traded him.

For nothing too.

It's funny if the Steelers don't reprimand Big Ben for his shit while trading Holmes for nothing after. Goes to show you that talk is cheap when QB's are concerned.

Hey, we're just following the blueprint of the Cowboys of the '90's. Super Bowls and half the team behind bars in the offseason.

Seriously, what's funny is that kicker Jeff Reed's constant public intoxication gets buried beneath Holmes and Big Ben's daily updates. Until the latter's issues surfaced, Steeler fans were all over Reed for his short kickoffs and arrests yet cut him some slack because of his amazing FG accuracy.

But let's be realistic here. i don't care who did what, it is much easier to cut loose a wideout than a $100 million dollar QB. Anyone who says otherwise needs a crash course on NFL economics.

Michael Vick was a $100 million dollar QB. Does anyone think the Falcons would have let him go if they knew there would be no charges filed?

I really don't care either way but I find it funny that the team is willing to cut loose Holmes for a pair of jeans but not reprimand their QB.

They're hypocrites if they don't punish him.

Brandon Marshall to Miami.

I heard about that acquisition this morning.

Miami will be glad to have an elite receiver on their roster.

Most definitely.

Nice to have a passing game to compliment their running game.

Their wildcat playbook is already deep, but now it'll be more efficient. Then again they'll probably use a more traditional offense with Marshall in the mix, and use the wildcat a little less.

Now they need to focus on building a better defense.

Jesus. 10 Mil a year for five years.

I think that makes him one of the highest payed receivers in NFL history.

Yea matching Fitzgerald's contract plus 1 year is a shame. He is no where near the same level player. 24 million is guaranteed too, nothing else he does in football will ever matter and that is dangerous for a guy who is a head case. I could easily see him be an even bigger problem than he was in the past now that he has that munch money guaranteed to come into his bank account.

Oh yeah.

I do think that Marshall can be just as good as Fitzgerald's if he wasn't such a bastard.

I think 10 lashes in public square would suffice. Administered by Kim Kardashian, of course.
