Odds and Ends

A few things to cover before I start giving season predictions for football..I havent decided if I'll do college football...I would have more depth in the NFL...we'll see.

So..a few people got hurt this past weekend...Jason Taylor out for like 2 weeks..Carson Palmer getting smashed in the nose..and Usi Umenyiora being knocked out for the year...which "begs" the question of...do we need 4 preseason games?....yes and no....do people need to attend these games for the same prices?....no..never..3rd and 4th stringers going at it isnt the price of NFL games..but it is needed for coaches and players to be evaluated...I think 3 may be a better number...but 4 is just fine for me.

The Falcons finally made a good move..they declared Matt Ryan the opening day starter...if you look at that team..they're going to suck...point blank..so why not play him and get experience going as soon as possible?...it also helps that he was playing the best of the 4(dont ask) quarterbacks anyways.

Matt Leinart to the bench?....what!?...no way...Matt is way better than Kurt Warner...(gets word that this past weekend Leinart threw for 4-12 for 24yds and 3 picks vs the Raiders)...well...kinda hard to defend that...Arizona is a team that needs a bit more consistency with their quarterback...but I havent given up on Leinart...Warner is old...and brittle..he'll get another shot.
