Littleknown factoid: At Florida, Tebow racked up as many collegiate rushing touchdowns as Marshall Faulk did at San Diego State, and that number (57) is good for eighth in college football history. In his first NFL season, Tebow scored six rushing touchdowns for the Denver Broncos in just 43 attempts. 2011 saw his first real time as a serious NFL starting quarterback, but Tebow still excelled in the red zone, scoring six more rushing TDs on 122 attempts. [...] I don't know what Tebow would average, but my guess is that while he wouldn't be perfect as teams adapted, the chances of him exceeding 60% are better than being significantly below 50% and making the strategy suboptimal. To this point, he has not been utilized all out. [Denver Broncos head coach John] Fox got praised a fair amount last year, but was honestly very conservative in using Tebow in the one area his skills dictated it, short yardage. Denver was a punting machine on 4th and 1 or 2. They only went for two points when they absolutely had to. They couldn't stop him then... (AP) Last year, New York scored 30 touchdowns in the first three quarters of games. Well,Cheap Touraj Houshmandzadeh Jersey, if Tebow only converts at the same rate from the 3 yard line or in as he has for his career (9 for 16),Cheap T.J. Yates Jersey, then it's almost 4 points over a season. Coaches obsess over little things, so a strategy that could result in four more points is not inconsequential. It's not going to win a Super Bowl alone, but it optimizes points. [...] The real problem Tebow represents as a red zone weapon is that when all eyes are on him, it also opens up other options for his teammates, and the Dolphins game was a great example of that. With their power blocking and runfirst set of schemes, the Jets could very well take Tebow back to his days as an unstoppable conversion machine and if they want to get the maximum value out of the deal, that's a mustdo strategy. On the twopoint conversion, it looks like the Broncos sandbagged the Dolphins after the Dolphins called a timeout — there was a lot of talk on the Denver sidelines about what to do on the play for what was eventually a quarterback keeper. In my opinion, Miami let Denver dictate the action by falling prey to the idea that Tebow would throw in that position, despite the fact that he'd been throwing horribly most of the day. Miami's defense went wide, and when cornerback Will Allen (25) blitzed and overpursued, that left no run fit and a huge gap for Tebow to walk right into the end zone.

News: In Canada, the penny's about to drop into history When the Broncos beat the Miami Dolphins last year in an overtime game, I went through the Dolphins' defensive braincramps caused  by Tebow's dual ability as a passer and rusher inside the opposing 10yard line. On the touchdown, it seems that the Dolphins ran a coverage that had the defensive backs running with the receivers by assignment instead of handing off into zones. Because of that, the crossing route run by Eddie Royal (19) took cornerback Jimmy Wilson (27) out of any possibility to take flat responsibility. In layman's terms,Cheap Phil Taylor Jersey, Wilson vacating the defensive left side (whether on purpose or by accident) allowed Fells to be as wide open as he's ever been in his entire life. Add in the blitz by linebacker Karlos Dansby (58), and there was nobody on the defensive left side. If you're going to blitz, how about a zone blitz that puts Dansby on assignment with the tight end? ...and they can't stop him now. (AP) Jason Lisk of The Big Lead hypothesizes that with Tebow, the Jets should almost always go for a twopoint conversion instead of an extra point, and it's a very solid case. We're all still trying to figure out how the New York Jets will execute the first successful twoquarterback rotation in NFL history with Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, but one thing's for sure when you acquire Tebow, as the Jets recently did, you've got yourself one impressive red zone weapon.

• It was a nice Sunday for the Chargers, who, while enjoying their bye week, advanced to just one game back of Oakland and Kansas City. • I'm still not considering the Bears for anything. I am reluctantly starting to open myself to the possibility that I might have to start considering them, though. • Back to the NFC, just for the record, I'm not down on the Giants. The loss to the Cowboys concerns me not a hitch. I still like the Saints to go on a run, though, and once again, when in doubt, I go with the better quarterback.

If someone's going to get hot, and it's going to mean something, it's going to be happening, oh, right about now. And even if no one emerges as a clear favorite to get to the Super Bowl, why is that a problem? All four Wild Card teams, at least in my projection, are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Is that not a good thing? Are you not entertained? • Kind of hard to deny the Patriots after that performance on Sunday night. That was the old stuff,Cheap Zach Thomas Jersey, and quite frankly, I'm confused as to where that defensive performance came from. I don't know if it was something they know in particular about the Steelers, or if it's something they can reproduce on a weekly basis. I just know that it was the best performance I'd seen in the league this season. For about 24 hours, anyway. • That refers,Cheap J.J. Watt Jersey, of course, to when the Eagles trumped them on Monday night. Granted, Philly's competition was quite a bit softer, but their dominance was also a little bit more pronounced.

When asked about his own approach, Redskins outside linebacker Brian Orakpo was less specific. "Obviously you can think of it like that," said Orakpo. "If somebody gets injured you want to go after the injury. But we're going to just play our game. We're going to try to get Romo down when we can. We're not going to just target the ribs and forget about trying to get the ball out or forget about trying to get him down and just hit his ribs. Nah, we're going to do the best we can to get him down and get off the field." And the NFL will find you, Mr. Hall. You can count on that. Um, yeah. All well and good to the realities of the game as we said — most players will admit off the record that opponents with obvious vulnerabilities will be attacked like injured deer in a pride of lions. Difference is,Cheap Russ Grimm Jersey, the lions aren't generally goofy enough to telegraph their intentions to reporters. And with the NFL more conscious than ever when it comes to injurious hits with malice aforethought, Hall has most likely put himself at an additional disadvantage in that any pop he puts on Romo will be watched with extreme prejudice. "If you know something's wrong with an opponent, you're going to try to target in on that. We're going to try to definitely get as many hits on that team as possible." Also on Wednesday, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that he thinks Romo is "doing fine,Cheap Miles Austin Jersey, "He got knocked around a little bit on Sunday, but he's getting his rehab and hopefully he'll be ready to play for this ballgame. We'll take it day to day, [over] the next few days." "Absolutely. I want to get a chance to put my helmet on whatever's hurt," Hall said. "Romo's ribs—I'm going to be asking for some corner blitzes. If I know [Cowboys running back] Felix Jones' shoulder's hurt, I'm not going to cut him. I'm definitely going to try to hit him up high, so that's just part of it. Other popular stories on Yahoo! Sports: • The absurdly premature NFL playoff picture • Forbes: Toppaid athletes from then (1991) and now (2011) • Video: Bears' White House invitation arrives — a quartercentury late When asked if Romo should go ahead and put a sticker on the rib that's hurt so everyone would know, Hall said that it wouldn't be necessary. According to a report from ESPN's Ed Werder, if Romo does play against the Redskins, he will wear a protective vest made by Unequal Technologies of Kennett Square, Pa. The Cowboys contacted the company this week to inquire about protective technology for Romo and tight end Jason Witten, who is dealing with bruised ribs. The Redskins knocked Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick out of an early game in the 2010 season with a rib cartilage injury, and Vick has been wearing equipment from the company ever since. "He ain't got to. I already know where it is. We'll be all right. We find it. I'll find it." That the Washington Redskins will see the fractured rib of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as a target shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who understands the hidden game of football, and the fact that players with injuries are vulnerable on the field. However, what you don't usually see is a player who's completely unaware of the reality that the NFL is looking out for this kind of stuff. That's where Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall comes in. When asked on Wednesday about the rib injury and punctured lung Romo suffered last Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Hall came right flat out and said it — if Romo plays Monday night, he will be in the bull'seye. yahoodeangelohall [Never get beaten to the waiver wire again with Yahoo,Cheap Derrick Burgess Jersey!

With the 2010 NFL season in the books, the draft edging ever closer (and a lockout battle now headed to the courts) it's time to turn our eyes to the predraft evaluation process. We've already done scouting reports of the top 40 players on our board, and you can read all the details on the first Shutdown 40 here. For the second Shutdown 40, players 4180, we have the advantage of combine performances and that much more evaluation material. We continue the second Shutdown 40 with Pitt wide receiver Jon Baldwin, who went the same high school (Aliquippa High in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania) as Mike Ditka, Ty, Law, and Darrelle Revis. Baldwin presents an intriguing size/speed combination; he ran a 4.4940 at the scouting combine at 6foot 4 and 228 pounds. At Pitt, Baldwin put up 18 receptions for 414 yards and two touchdowns as a true freshman and really blew up in his sophomore year, when he caught 57 passes for 1,118 yards and eight scores. In 38 total games for the Panthers, Baldwin brought in 127 passes for 2,325 yards and 16 touchdowns.   However, there are red flags that put Baldwin quite a way down the receiver boards of most draft pundits — serious questions about his attitude, maturity, and consistency have popped up from time to time. Baldwin has had the time and opportunity to answer those questions with NFL teams, but since we're about the tape here at Shutdown 40 HQ, let's belay the other stuff and take a closer look at Jon Baldwin, Future NFL Receiver. Pros: Presses off the line and gets up to speed pretty impressively for his size; could be an asset on slip screens. Will jump and catch in traffic even when he knows the big hit is coming, and he's an imposing target when he gets vertical. Will stretch for passes downfield and can do so without losing a lot of speed — potentially devastating on 9routes for that reason. Will physically overwhelm smaller defenders inside on slants, digs, and posts. Succeeded in a Pitt program with a limited passing game, generally unspectacular quarterbacks, and his role as the primary target of most every pass defense he faced. Cons: Tends to struggle with his body control on tight timing routes — understandable to a point, since he's a tall, highwaisted player, but he looks like he's on skates at times and that will need to be fixed at the next level. Tends to turn his body instead of moving his feet in place on comebacks. Good inline speed, but doesn't have that extra gear to accelerate downfield to make tight catches — better at jumping and diving in those cases. Size gets in his way when he tried to juke defenders in space; he doesn't have especially quick feet to get free in short areas. Not always physical enough when he needs to be — for example, when he's boxed out downfield by a cornerback, he doesn't always push and move out or up to stay open. Isn't quick to turn upfield; his motion is more a halfcircle than a quick turnanddash. Over the next few weeks, we'll also be adding Pro Day data when relevant. But we're always going mostly on game tape; the proper evaluation formula seems to be about 80 percent tape, 20 percent Senior Bowl/combine/Pro Day. If you see what you expect in drills, you go back to the tape to confirm. If what you see in drills surprises you in a positive or negative sense, you go back to the tape to catch where the anomalies may be. Conclusion: There are some fairly major issues that pop off the tape when you watch Jon Baldwin, but it's difficult to know how many of the fundamental issues about his play would have been fixed had he been in a more dynamic offense in which he wasn't the primary focus. His struggles in the combine drills, however, didn't help his case — asked to succeed in a neutral environment, Baldwin showed a lot of rust in frills and when trying to catch passes in quickcut situations. Malcolm Kelly had some of those same issues, and would have benefitted from a team with higher standards and better overall teaching and schematic discipline. Unfortunately, Kelly got the Jim Zorn Redskins, and whatever is it Mike Shanahan's trying to do these days. Baldwin may need a better environment to succeed in the NFL.

I guess we'll worry later about the fact that the Raiders are 28th in the league in scoring defense, and that they're also 28th in the league in yards allowed per game. And worst in the league in rushing defense,Cheap Patrick Crayton Jersey, allowing 185 ground yards per game. And that they give up 5.5 a carry. These are worries for another day. The Raiders defensive tackle was in that mood around 1 p.m. on Sunday when he saluted fans during pregame introductions by crossing his forearms about his head.

I'll let Seymour and Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee explain: "When I throw up the 'X,' that means it's time to put the kids to bed," Seymour said. "It's Xrated out there. That means if you're 13 and under, don't watch this." Richard Seymour didn't wait until the latenight hour to get "Xrated."

[Jason Cole: John Elway reveals how he lured Peyton Manning to Broncos] Taylor's take is fair and balanced,Cheap Sidney Rice Jersey, and he does a very good job of outlining the agendas of both parties. It's true that the Jaguars gave JonesDrew that contract before he ever hit the magic number, but JonesDrew never had more than 197 carries in any of his first three seasons. Had he flirted with 250 or more carries in any of those years, there's little doubt that he would have passed that mark with ease. Wanna see the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2011 offense? This is pretty much it. (Getty Images) Not only did his 1,606 rushing yards pace the field, but given rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert's unfortunate dalliances with some of the worst historical firstyear seasons we've ever seen, there really wasn't any reason for any opponent to focus on any other aspect of the Jags' offense. One would hope that can change with an offseason for Gabbert, the addition of new offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey,Cheap Taylor Mays Jersey, and the selection of Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon in the first round of the 2012 draft. But until further notice, JonesDrew retains his status as perhaps the most valuable running back to his team in the league. Compare those numbers with the current deals for Adrian Peterson (seven years, $100 million, $30 million guaranteed), Chris Johnson (four years, $53.5 million, $30 million guaranteed), LeSean McCoy (five years, $45.6 million, $20.8 million guaranteed), Arian Foster (five years, $43.5 million, $20.8 million guaranteed), and Matt Forte (four years, $32 million, $18 million guaranteed), and you can see why JonesDrew has a beef with his current situation. Matt Forte and Ray Rice may have brand new contracts to celebrate the 2012 NFL season, but that doesn't mean that everything is positive in the land of the elite running backs. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Jacksonville Jaguars back Maurice JonesDrew, the league's leading rusher in 2011, has skipped the first day of training camp in lieu of a favorable contract extension. There are no plans for Pocket Hercules to report. And according to those in the know, this impasse could last a while. Mike Freeman of CBS Sports wrote on Thursday that per his sources,Cheap Darren Sharper Jersey, JonesDrew is angry with the team, ready to test the collective will of the front office, and in no hurry to report without some good financial news at the end of the rainbow. Steve Wyche of the NFL Network adds that JonesDrew is prepared to hold out through training camp and possibly into the season. Other popular content on Yahoo! Sports: • Tim Duncan cut his paycheck in half so the Spurs could remain whole • Jeff Passan: Marlins' owners conned Miami, lined their pockets and held a fire sale • Penn State faced four years with no football had it not agreed to sanctions And since he signed that deal, he's clearly outperformed it based on current market value. JonesDrew is the only back in the NFL to rush for more than 1,300 yards in each of the last three seasons, and as has been mentioned, he's done it with quarterback issues that put the bull'seye of every defense squarely on his head. "I was quoted as saying that Maurice was going to hold out," former teammate Fred Taylor told SIRIUS NFL Radio on Thursday morning. "I never said that, but in speaking to Maurice, he understands his position, and he feels that he has the necessary leverage to fight for a [new] contract. I have to tread cautiously because of my relationship with the team and with Maurice. I know he's been training in south Florida, and that was the one thing I told him if you're going to fight this, make sure you're ready when it's time to go back, or whatever you decide to do in the long run. Otherwise, going back after trying to hold out, it's not going to look so good in the public's eye, and in the eyes of the team. Maurice JonesDrew clearly believes that he is what makes the Jaguars' offense go, such as it is. The numbers and game tape agree. The team may be forced to fall in line over time. [Related: Steelers stop negotiations, set to move on without Mike Wallace] Related video from Yahoo! Sports "When Maurice got his deal a couple years ago, I think the team did a great job of saying, 'Look this is the direction we want to go in.' Considering that he hadn't rushed for a thousand yards [in a season], and for them to honor his potential, was a good gesture by the team. In all fairness, I've got to give the team a check mark on that side. Of course, he was the leading rusher in the league last year, but the team was only 511. So, we have to put the facts out there, and that doesn't necessarily hold a lot of weight." "There's no decision here,'' Jags owner Shad Khan told the Florida TimesUnion this week. "It's his choice. There's been very little for us to do rather than wait on whatever he might choose to do ... There's more than 50 players [on the team] under contract. There are other people under contract in management, coaches. Does that mean if you do it for one, you do it for everybody. Where do you draw the line?'' At this time, the team is unmoved. Perhaps you draw the line at market value for his production and position. In April of 2009, JonesDrew signed a fiveyear, $30.95 million deal that included $17 million in guaranteed money, and the first two years base salary guaranteed. He's set to make $4.45 million in 2012 and $4.95 million in 2013, and he'd be able to test the market again in 2014.

Ndamukong Suh(notes), DT/K, Detroit Lions. Okay, I'm not really mad at Suh for missing that extra point. I give him a lot of credit for putting himself in a potentially embarrassing situation for the sake of the team. But as a fan of the underdog, I really wanted to see the downtrodden Lions knock off the "Look how great we are!" Jets, and that extra point would've come in handy as the regulation clock hit 0:00 and the score was tied. A disappointing moment in an otherwise outstanding day of football. I'm not upset with you, Ndamukong. I'm just upset. Mike Jenkins(notes), Cornerback, Dallas Cowboys. We've probably spent enough time on the Cowboys, but the following sequence from the Sunday night game is worth highlighting: James Jones(notes) of the Packers scores on a bubble screen, due in part to a fine effort by Jones and also in part to complete indifference from the Cowboys. The replay shows Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins considering trying to tackle Jones, and then opting to stand there and stare at him instead, because he might break a nail. Soon after, NBC shows the following stat: Jenkins had been thrown at eight times,Cheap Ron Jaworski Jersey, all eight of those passes were completed, going for 94 yards and a touchdown. And then it looked like Jenkins was smiling at the camera. Matt Moore(notes), Jimmy Clausen(notes), Tony Pike(notes), Quarterbacks, Carolina Panthers. Those three gentlemen all play quarterback for the Panthers, but none of them do it very well. They all saw significant time against the Saints yesterday, but none of them could complete more than 50% of their passes or throw for more than 47 yards. At least two of them hit that vaunted 47yard mark. Somehow, Buffalo's 08 feels more encouraging than Carolina's 17. Chad Henne(notes),Cheap Wilbert Montgomery Jersey, Quarterback, Miami Dolphins. The 22of34 looks pretty good, but zero touchdowns and three interceptions have a way of putting a damper on a day. The Ravens will do that to a lot of quarterbacks, but Henne was completely unable to make any plays today. You've got to make the defense believe that there's at least a possibility that you'll go downfield every now and then. Pride. Pride took a beating in Dallas on Sunday night. Watching the Cowboys was like watching a boxer quit in the middle of a fight. But instead of throwing in the towel or walking out of the ring, he stops protecting himself, hoping he'll get knocked out, there will be a stoppage or he'll soon find some kind of an opportunity to bite canvas and wait for the sweet count of 10 to end it. It's more shameful than saying, "Yes, I quit," and walking away. It's quitting without even the conviction to quit.

This wasn't one of those penalties that was seen only after watching three slomo replays from different angles,Cheap Selvin Young Jersey, it was obvious while watching the game live. Anytime a receiver extends his arm and creates separation, a flag is thrown. It's one of the easiest contact penalties to call. When the wideout who caught the pass admits to pushing down a defender on a play in which he caught a touchdown, you can safely assume that the officials blew the call on the field: Here's what Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White(notes) had to say about his gamewinning touchdown catch in a Thursday night victory over the Baltimore Ravens: But remember this play the next time someone says a 72 Atlanta team is the best in the NFL or that a 63 Baltimore team isn't as good as,Cheap Kevin Boss Jersey, say, the Giants because their records don't match. NFL seasons turn on plays like this. The difference between 133 and homefield advantage and 106 and missing the playoffs can be as little as a Roddy White shove. "We were actually trying to get the ball to Tony [Gonzalez]. They were double covering him. It left me wide open, with oneonone coverage. He tried to grab me,Cheap Jermichael Finley Jersey, and I just pushed him down." It's a bad call. There's nothing more to say about it than that. Ravens fans should be upset, but have to realize that there were many other problems with the team on Thursday night. And even if the refs had thrown the flag, their team still might not have won.

,Cheap Bengals Jerseys Didn't matter. The Bengals still jumped offsides, the Saints got an automatic first down and Brees hit Marques Colston(notes) for a gamewinning touchdown on the very next play: Although, technically, Brees only succeeded in getting the line to jump into the neutral zone. The penalty was called because the Saints jumped in response to the Bengals' movement. Refs can't call a false start there since New Orleans' early movement was coerced, so the flag is thrown on the team that initiated the movement. Had nobody on the New Orleans' offensive line moved, the Bengals could have gotten back into position and no penalty would have been called. It was as heady a play by the Saints as it was stupid by the Bengals.

Yeouch. That last shot was to Tania Ganguli of the Florida TimesUnion, who picked up the quote and ran with it on her blog. "That's the way it is. That's what it is.

They just get more hype 'cause they're from New York."  yahoojasonhilldarrellerev Of course, the best part of this whole story is that Hill isn't even sure to play against the Jets — he didn't participate in Jacksonville's Wednesday and Thursday practices because he's dealing with a hip injury, and he's listed as doubtful. OK, Mr. Hill. Let's just hope you're not spouting that opinion from the sideline on Sunday, because we'd really love to see you tear Darrelle Revis up on the field. Still, Hill's convinced that Revis and his pals, who have made the last two AFC Championship games while the Jags have failed to make the playoffs since 2007, are simply basking in a glow they don't deserve. As Jets teammate Bart Scott would say, we're sure that Mr. Revis can't wait. "It's a game that we all play. He's been playing the game, Revis, just as long as I've been playing. This is a game full of good players making plays. He just made a lot more plays on TV than we've made being here in Jacksonville. He's a good player. We respect him. Hopefully he respects us because we're going to bring it just like they're going to bring it." However, as the Jets prepare to welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to MetLife Stadium for their Week 2 showdown, there's one receiver who isn't as impressed by Revis as he probably should be. Jason Hill (who?) believes that Revis' reputation is based to a degree on that old real estate maxim — location, location, location. Before the media could even give him the question about what it might be like to go up against Revis, Hill had a ready — and very strange — answer. "He's a good player, Pro Bowl player, I'm trying to make it to the Pro Bowl, too. This'll be a good game to put some notches on our belts too. It's the New York Times vs. the Jacksonville paper. New York Times, they got a lot more viewers than you got." Um … so you're saying that Revis is overhyped … not as good as we think he is … because he plays in New York? As you might expect, Revis wasn't quite sure who Hill even was when he was told of the comments. "I don't even know who that dude is. What's his name again? I have no clue. I don't know who he is, whatever he said is what he said. Whatever his opinion is of us, we'll find out on Sunday. I don't care what he says, I don't know him. He don't know me,Cheap Emmitt Smith Jersey, he don't know the Jets, so he'll find out on Sunday." "Same one that everyone else gives us," Hill said of the question. "This is a league full of great players. I think sometimes they get overhyped. I talked to [Jaguars safety] Drew [Coleman], Drew played there. He says it's just the aura of New York. They got a big media. That's not the Jacksonville paper, that's the big New York Times paper so they get more pub[licity]. That's what it is. Since 2009, when he shut down every premier receiver he faced, New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has been known as one of the two or three best at his position in the NFL. In 2010, he didn't have an interception after picking off six passes the year before, but as we know about cornerbacks, stats can be extremely misleading Revis' targets plummeted from 96 to 55, per Football Outsiders. Revis' lastsecond pick of Tony Romo in the Jets' 2011 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys was a brilliant example of how to bait a quarterback, and should serve as a reminder to everyone in the league that throwing to Revis under any circumstances … well, it's not really smart. So,Cheap Howie Long Jersey, let's talk about Jason Hill's credentials. Since the San Francisco 49ers took him in the third round of the 2007 draft, Hill has caught 55 career balls for 714 yards and five touchdowns. That's not in one season — that's the guy's entire career. Hill did catch four balls for 53 yards in Jacksonville's seasonopening win against the Tennessee Titans, and that may be why he's feeling so bold right now — he's well on his way to exceeding 2010's total of (snicker) 11 catches in six games. "Well he shouldn't have been talking in the first place, because he can't back it up now," Revis said. Note: C.J. Ah You, Chansi Stuckey,Cheap Redskins Jerseys, Yamon Figurs and Sabby Piscitelli have also played as long as Revis has … and they've each been about as effective as Hill.

Favre may be melodramatic and selfabsorbed and like to set things in motion so he can ride in on his white horse and save the day. But, all that aside,Cheap Johnny Unitas Jersey, he's still one tough guy. Finally. The first good decision Brett Favre's made in a long, long time. Our friends over at SB Nation noticed that when Favre was talking to FOX's Pam Oliver before the game, his right hand,Cheap Green Embroidered Jersey, the one affected by the shoulder injury, happened to match the color of the Vikings jerseys: That's gross. Gunslinger? More like plumslinger. It looks like Woody Harrelson's wooden hand in "Kingpin" or something out of "The Walking Dead." That Favre was even considering playing with a hand that looked like Grimace's says all you need to know about the quarterback. And that's something that's been forgotten during his oftencomical, oftenbrilliant final few years. Because most fans now consider Favre to be a guy who didn't know when to quit, we forget that a streak of 297 consecutive starts is a mindboggling physical achievement. The record Favre broke was 116 and he broke it back when Bill Clinton was president! Sure, Peyton Manning(notes) has also passed the 116 mark and now is over 200 straight games, but I have the feeling that Peyton never took the beating Favre did in the pocket. After the game, Favre talked about whether he'll get back on the field this season. "I won't play again if I can't feel my hand,Okaland Raiders Jerseys," he said. "I think it would be foolish to even consider playing if you don't have total feeling in five fingers." Officially, Brett Favre(notes) was inactive from Monday night's game against the New York Giants because of a shoulder injury. Unofficially, the streaksnapping might have had just as much to do with Favre's grotesquely purple throwing hand.

• The Jets did come in as a wild card, though, bumping Tennessee. I'm not down on Tennessee, and I thought Vince Young(notes) looked sharp for most of Sunday. It's their inconsistency and upanddown nature that bugs me, and the Jets have more "should win" games left on the schedule than do the Titans. • Kansas City remains atop the AFC West, but I feel like Oakland warrants a mention. Seriously. The Raiders are just one game back, and they're riding consecutive blowouts, which is not something that happens often at the professional level. And I'm not writing off the Chargers, either, as I still think they're the best football team in this division. But their schedule doesn't do them any favors, and I don't believe Kansas City is going to fold. • Green Bay gets back the top spot in the NFC with their road shutout against one of the AFC's better teams. The Giants were off, and I sort of hate everyone else in the NFC right now. • I had already decided going into the SteelersSaints Sunday nighter that if the Steelers lost in prime time, on Halloween, in New Orleans, that I wasn't going to hold it against them. So I won't, but I do want to note that offensively, the Steelers were a big pile of ick. Again, I'll chalk it up to the Dome and the crazy atmosphere,Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jerseys, but I'm looking for them to rebound this week against the Bengals. • The Rams are once again the choice in the NFC West, and they even got an unofficial "solidly in place, can afford to look bad for a week or two, and they'll still be there" status. I have zero faith in anyone else in the West to do anything other than embarrass the entire league on a weekly basis. • The Patriots have jumped back atop the AFC East, and I'd like to offer a heartfelt thanks to all the New England fans who emailed to express confidence in their team, which none of them did in a whiny, insulting, petulant, annoying way. Thanks! For me, it came down to a decision of which I hate the least: the Patriots passing defense or the Jets passing offense. For now,Cheap Kevin Greene Jersey, the Pats have the slightest of edges. • The Saints bumped the Bucs out of a wildcard spot. It's a similar situation to the Titans in the AFC. I'm not down on the Bucs,Cheap Devery Henderson Jersey, but if the Saints are finally going to get their act together, you have to take the Saints over the Bucs, right? Even if I think the Bucs are legit and that Josh Freeman(notes) is a good quarterback, and that their defense is sound, and that they're not going away, talent and experience still has to steer me toward the Saints. It was a close call this week. I expect it will be next week, too. Three playoff teams from the NFC South isn't something I'd rule out.

They'll get it done in DC, deadlines r often tiptoed but failure isn't an option Plenty of camera time, though. yahoomanning+playaction OFFICIALWE HAVE A DEAL,Cleveland Browns Jerseys!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a win for all involved — Manning,Cheap Rex Grossman Jersey, Irsay, the Colts, and the twitterati who love the dialogue. We got good cap relief this year from 23 mil. WITH Franchise Tag to 16mil. With new deal and no Peter King, No plans 2 redo..I'm done "Signing Peyton was a top priority for this organization and we are thrilled that the deal is complete," Colts owner Jim Irsay said in a statement released by the team Saturday. "We feel that it is a salary cap friendly deal and it allows us more flexibility." Irsay then tweeted all the details of the deal, bringing an entirely new level of breaking news to social media (a few edits are ours): It's a credit 2 Peyton; he put Colt fans, teammates, Ind. n winning ahead of all else. It's 69 over 1rst 3 (23 a yr.1rst 3) 9 0 over 5, cap friendly Irsay then referenced the current budget struggles going on in the nation's capitol: You knew that the Indianapols Colts were going to resign Peyton Manning to a new contract — the cap figure if they franchised him would have been so prohibitive (over $20 million in the 2011 league year, which would have Manning taking up more than onesixth of the Colts' total salary cap space),Cheap Rocky Bleier Jersey, any other option short of letting him test the open market would have been preferable. Sounds like the lockout that just ended. In any case, this deal gives the 35yearold Manning the security of knowing that he'll retire from the game with the only team he's ever played for, in an offense he runs to a ridiculously high standard. And he hasn't lost a bit of his ability — last season, with injured receivers all around him, Manning attempted and completed the most passes of his 13year career. think of cash vs. cap this wayany guaranteed money is spread out over entire contract3 yr.deal,3 mil.

Fortunately for the hearts of Colts fans everywhere, the team was able to come to terms with perhaps the most important player in Colts history if we're not talking about Johnny Unitas.

"We risk ourselves out there on the field each and every day also. When soldiers come home from Iraq you don't boo them. I look at it the same way. I take my job seriously." After the New York Giants were booed at home on Sunday, cornerback Antrel Rolle(notes) advised fans not to do so because it'd be like booing American soldiers returning from Iraq. From the NY Daily News: "I used a very poor,Cheap Brian Orakpo Jersey, inappropriate example earlier today to demonstrate how seriously I take my job. Obviously there is no comparison between the men and women of our military putting their life on the line defending our country and what I do. Oof. If Rolle wanted to give fans an alternative reason to boo, mission accomplished. Of course, had I read the initial comments without reading Rolle's subsequent apology, maybe I'd have a different opinion. Hours after making those comments, he explained himself in a statement released by the team: The words "I'm sorry" don't appear anywhere in those two paragraphs, but Rolle's apology has other merits. He said something dumb and quickly backtracked without trying to offer a defense of himself. He didn't give the tired "sorry if I offended you" routine either. He manned up and offered true regret. There are a few sensitive topics you should never use to analogize,Cheap Desmond Bishop Jersey, and the "football as like war" simile is one of those. That doesn't stop everyone media, fans, coaches and players alike from using words like "battle" and "war" when talking about football, but this direct comparison is worse. Yet I'm not going to kill Rolle for the comments. They were stupid and poorly worded, but it wasn't like he came out and said that his job was more important than a soldier's. If you'll allow me to parse his speech, I took it as: "You don't boo soldiers because they sacrifice themselves and take their jobs seriously, so don't boo me." I don't think he meant to imply that the wounded heroes at Walter Reed are equivalent to guys listed as questionable on the injury report. That doesn't excuse the comparison, but let's not turn him into eh, maybe I should heed my own calls about extreme analogies. "They risk their lives and that gives me the opportunity to play a game for a living. After I made my earlier comments, somebody even said to me: how would your father, who is the chief of police in Homestead (Fla.) and puts himself at risk every day, feel about the comparison you made?

But enough of our yakkin' it's time for Mr. Suh to boogie! Suh talked with ESPN's Chris McKendry on Tuesday morning's "SportsCenter" and explained why he was wearing a replica of the single sequined glove Michael Jackson used to wear he's part of a charity drive tied in with the upcoming "Michael Jackson: The Experience" game. Suh will autograph the glove he wore Tuesday, and that glove will be auctioned to benefit the Detroit Medical Center. If you watch Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh(notes) in games, you'll quickly see that he's got a devastating array of effective passrush moves that have allowed him to lead all rookie defenders,Cheap Charles Woodson Jersey, and all defensive tackles, in sacks with 8.0. It turns out that in addition to the swim, rip and bull rush,D'Brickashaw Ferguson Jersey, Mr. Suh's also got moves on the dance floor. A ridiculous assumption under most circumstances, but putting anything past Ndamukong Suh might be unwise. "Me and my sister had all his videos on VHS," Suh told ESPN.com. "Pretty much any time we were stuck in the house, we put the video on, dance to him, watch him. 'Thriller,' 'Beat It,' 'Bad,' just being able to go back and reminisce to those things. ...

Suh also said that he's got two sides to his personality there's the mellow guy who looked to help people off the field, and there's the quarterbackkilling demon who's getting more and more attention from officials and opposing offensive lines.

It seemed that all the talk through the NFL last week had to do with Brett Favre(notes): Would he start against the New England Patriots with his ankle injuries? Would his play be up to standard? Should Tarvaris Jackson(notes) play instead. What would happen between Favre and Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress if Childress had to bench him for any reason? Halfway through the fourth quarter, with the Patriots up 2110,Cheap Ryan Clady Jersey, Favre tried to hit Randy Moss(notes) with a short pass from the New England 3yard line. The pass was incomplete,Cheap Joe Montana Jersey, and defensive end Myron Pryor(notes) knocked Favre from the field with a devastating (but clean) hit that opened up a laceration on Favre's chin and had him looking nearly unconscious as he was carted off the field.

As far as Williams and McBean are concerned,Cheap Ron Jaworski Jersey, this is just the beginning of the story. We're going to hear a lot more about the details of that case over the next few days. I understand from media reports today that the NFL has announced a suspension based on a specimen that the NFL acknowledges did not contain steroids or any illegal substance. Instead, the NFL contends that I provided a nonhuman specimen. Vic Lombardi of CBS4 in Denver reports that Williams and McBean will file federal lawsuits against the NFL on Monday. I have never failed a test of any kind — for steroids or illegal substances — during my eightyear pro career. I am proud of my record and proud of the way in which I conduct myself as a professional athlete and citizen. We proved — conclusively — at the NFL hearing on this matter that the NFL and its specimen collector wholly failed in their duties to safeguard and process my specimen properly. The tests for those two turned up a "nonhuman" sample, but Williams released a statement in which he claims that he's the victim of a Ryan Brauntype situation. He accuses the NFL's specimen collector of failing to do his job properly. Here's the full statement he released: There are a lot of interesting conversations taking place at Broncos headquarters today. A few more than the Broncos would've liked. As for Green, he defended himself on Twitter, saying he was suspended for taking medication to treat Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and since failing the test, has been cleared by the league to take the medication (Here's tweet one and tweet two). At this point, he's made no mention of contesting the suspension. Three Broncos, linebacker D.J. Williams, defensive tackle Ryan McBean, and tight end Virgil Green, have been suspended for violating the NFL's policy on performanceenhancing substances. Williams and McBean are out for the first six games of the 2012 season. Green will sit for four. In fact, the specimen collector was fired by the NFL after compromising my specimen as well as others'. The hearing officer, an NFL executive,Cheap Phil Simms Jersey, ignored the NFL's own Policy, engaged in inappropriate communications with top NFL officials about this matter without my knowledge or approval, corrupted the system, ignored that my specimen had been compromised,Cheap Kyle Wilson Jersey, and now has subjected me to humiliation as well as suspension. We will be vigorously pursuing my rights in the judicial system. My suspension is unjust; the NFL has undermined and corrupted its own steroid policy.

The league must obviously be very concerned about the use of steroids and other performance enhancers, but if Spikes is taking Adderall for a condition because a doctor told him to, it's hard to see how that punishment benefits anybody. Spikes loses four games because he's trying to help himself and improve his life. The Patriots are short a defender for no good reason. And the NFL has proven, once again, that it does not have the right kind of system in place when it comes to the many and varied issues that can arise from PED use of any sort. In short, the NFL can't be trusted by its own players that's a bad place to start. It's also true that some players use Adderall outside a doctor's care for the stimulant benefits, and that's an entirely different story. But Spikes provides a valuable hypothetical example if a player is prescribed a particular medication by a medical professional because of a physical or emotional need, and that player doesn't know his drug will get him suspended, how can he not be given a retroactive pass if he has (so to speak) a doctor's note? In a way, this hearkens back to the StarCaps case, when the NFL told players that if they put any sort of substance in their bodies, they did so at their own risk. Playerrs, as a result, were left with seemingly infinite legal loopholes. As it did then, the NFL's scattershot policy on informing and counseling players about specific drug use seems to be more a way to jump out of the shadows and yell, "Gotcha!" whenever a kid is unlucky enough to fall on the wrong side of the chemical equation. The Patriots replaced Spikes on the current roster with defensive back Chevis Jackson(notes). The New England Patriots may be the best team in football right now, but they're going to be without the services of one of their best young defenders through the end of the regular season. Rookie linebacker Brandon Spikes(notes), who the Pats selected in the second round of the draft, was suspended four games by the NFL for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy. The announcement was made on Friday, though Spikes was not at practice on Thursday, and speculation at that time was that his absence was not injuryrelated. It's obviously a serious issue, but even if Spikes didn't get clarification on the possible ramifications of the drug, this seems to be yet another example of the league expecting its players to do all the homework on the medications they take,Cheap Y.A. Tittle Jersey, only to get snapped for an inevitable lack of knowledge about those medications down the road, Spikes should not have to get clarification for something that's most likely prescribed of it's being used in the way we're assuming it is; the NFL should be asking him if he's taking anything by the order of a medical professional, and telling him what he might test for as a result. Whether these are legitimate cases, or "Dr. Nick" stories waiting to happen,Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys, is an important question. But in the meantime, Spikes' representatives,Cheap Jim McMahon Jersey, and the NFLPA, may want to look into how this is being handled in pro football. If a sport overseen by Bud Selig has a better exemptive drug policy than your sport does, it's time to take a good hard look at how you do things. The suspension will cost Spikes his final four regularseason games, but he will be available for the playoffs. It's a big blow for the team the Florida alum has provided a dynamic interior defensive presence, amassing more than 10 tackles in a game on four different occasions and ranking fourth on the team in total tackles with 61. If a report by Tom E. Curran of CSNNE.com is true, Spikes tested positive for the amphetamines contained in Adderall, a drug that combats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Available in instant and extendedrelease versions, Adderall is a highly addictive drug with stimulant effects that is often used for the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy. Under the Controlled Substances Act, Adderall is a Schedule II drug due to its addictive potential. I've been contacted by the NFL and informed that I will be suspended four games for the detection of an illegal substance in a drug test. The substance was a medication that I should have gotten clarification on before taking. It was not a performance enhancer or an illegal drug. The integrity of the game is very important to me. I understand the league's ruling and apologize to my teammates, the fans and the Patriots organization for this mistake. Per the team's Twitter account, Spikes released this statement. The other side of the Adderall story, and what may make the Spikes case (or other cases) more complicated is that the drug has become all the rage in Major League Baseball. A recent report by the New York Daily News said that thirteen players have tested positive for Adderall in the last year, and another 105 have been given ADD exemptions, preventing them from being suspended for specific Adderall use. Over the last three years, approximately 10 percent of all major league players have received these kinds of exemptions because they have been given prescriptions for Adderall by doctors.
