QUOTEfuck his arm, his speed and quickness is enough for a ring or two with the right program.
*Note to self*
Ask the seeker (who has been involved with football on every level) how many rings Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick had.......
QUOTEfootball is 90% mental and 10% physical.....
If his team is relying on his intelligence to get them to the promised land then....well....Tennesee is fucked.
How'bout them test scores Mr. Young!!!

you know what? Ill take that and let the season speak for its self..... instead of RB you might want to change it up to DW Deangelo Williams..... pound for pound a better back then your 'RB'....... I just want you guys to see the RB is alot of hype...... as for Randle Cunningham, he had one of the best arms in the league wtf are you talking about. His color slowed his progress and lack of talent around him.... Vick is a beast with no one to throw to and yes i do know that his accuracy is questionable, very to say the least but hey if your number 1 draft pick cant get open wtf do you do? RUN......
Bush is bake beans that I Shat out my azz.....

Chiefs add Bennett to backfield via trade with Saints

Now back to getting this thread back on coarse
With the future of Priest Holmes still undetermined, the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday night acquired running back Michael Bennett from the New Orleans Saints for what is believed to be a future draft choice, ESPN.com has learned.
Paperwork must still be filed with the NFL office and the deal is contingent on Bennett passing a Chiefs-administered physical exam. That should not be a problem since Bennett was already in camp with the Saints and practicing.
The subject of considerable trade talk ever since the Saints chose Reggie Bush in the first round of the draft, Bennett will become the primary backup to starter Larry Johnson. The absence of Holmes, and the possibility that he might be forced to retire because of head and neck injuries sustained last season, left the Chiefs perilously thin at the position.
Several teams inquired about Bennett and, in the past week, the St. Louis Rams -- who will be without Marshall Faulk for all of the 2006 season -- offered the Saints a fourth-round pick in next year's draft. Bennett would have preferred being traded to the Rams, where Scott Linehan, his onetime offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, is the first-year head coach.
New Orleans officials told Bennett and his agent that they dealt him to Kansas City because they did not want to trade him to an NFC team. Other franchises that expressed an interest in Bennett in the last three months included Miami and Houston.
The Saints could have traded Bennett earlier, but held off until they could assess the recovery of starting tailback Deuce McAllister from 2005 knee surgery and until they got Bush under contract.
A former first-round draft choice and a onetime Pro Bowl performer, Bennett was signed by the Saints as an unrestricted free agent on March 17, at a time when New Orleans was seeking an established back and had no idea Bush would be available at No. 2 in the draft. Bennett signed a two-year, $3 million contract.
Before signing with the Saints, Bennett, 27, played all five previous seasons with the Vikings, who chose him in the first round of the 2001 draft. The former University of Wisconsin star was the draft's 27th overall selection that year, four spots after the Saints chose McAllister.
The speedy Bennett rushed for 1,296 yards and five touchdowns in '02, and became the first player in NFL history to produce runs of 60-plus yards in three straight games that year. Over the ensuing three seasons, however, Bennett totaled only 1,196 yards and five touchdowns. In 16 appearances in 2005, including six starts, he carried 126 times for 473 yards and three touchdowns.
For his career, Bennett has 713 carries for 3,174 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also has 126 receptions for 1,040 yards and five scores. Bennett has appeared in 64 games, starting 49.

Vick expected to miss no more than two days

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Michael Vick left the Atlanta Falcons' practice with a tweaked hamstring Tuesday night, but coach Jim Mora doesn't expect the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback to miss more than two days.
Vick needed no assistance as he walked off the field after pulling up during a team drill with 45 minutes remaining in the two-hour session. On his way to the locker room, Vick indicated his right leg was a little sore, but he insisted, "It's no big deal."
Matt Schaub, Vick's primary backup since the start of 2004, took the remaining snaps with the No. 1 offense.
Earlier in practice, Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall left the field with a slight hamstring injury, but he later returned to watch the rest of the workout. Hall might practice Wednesday afternoon.
Cool confidence is Simms' defining trait

I'm not a real big Simms fan, but oh well..
Schuab is like the best backup QB in the NFL right now....so even though the Falcons need Vick....when (not if) he gets injured again....hopefully they won't fall apart.
What's with the Cheifs stealing good RB's from other teams to sit the bench with them?
That combo of Culpepper, Moss, and MB was the shit back in the day with the Vikings....on madden at least lol....
A lot of players will be in different jerseys this season....it'll be fun to watch.

I agree with that. There have been a lot of big changes that will be fun to watch. With a pretty good rookie class I can't wait to see how they all perform.
I was excited to see the changes in Oakland after watching 'porn stache' Collins and his Burn victim of a coach throw away the last two seasons! It is a bit disturbing that Jerry Porter is demanding a trade...he has been their most consistent receiver the last few seasons. I can't wait for the season preview hall of fame game on Sunday!
