Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)

So let's say Sanders picks Von Miller and Rice takes Peyton Manning. If Miller gets a chance to nail Manning is he going to do it? Is Chad Greenway going to try and take down AP? Guys are not going to be hitting guys from their own teams. If there's no defense now, under this format we may see each team put up 60 points. Just put the Pro Bowl out of it's misery.

Great point. It's why the NFL should just give up. Or make the pro bowl mean something like .......nevermind I was going to say baseball but that doesn't work.

They didn't hit each other anyways! I still won't watch the game, but I'll watch the draft!

SF corner Chris Culiver out for season torn ACL. 9ers are feeling the injury bug early

^ but but but they have Carlos Rogers Tarrell Brown and Nnamdi. They also have good depth with Tramaine Brock and Perrish Cox. They went after Eric Wright who was cut but not healthy so maybe they'll go for him when he's healthy.

Translation; they'll be fine. (Plus Culliver was their worst CB IMO after watching the Super Bowl )

Culliver is an excellent CB who had a bad SB after running his mouth about gays (wrong city for that) i watched all the 49er games and he was really solid, they'll miss him but have plenty of depth.

The 49ers secondary wasn't that good to begin with (wasn't bad just wasn't that good). The more important player to that d is Justin smith. Once he got hurt almost every quarterback they played destroyed that secondary, it was obvious in the playoffs how much he means to that defense. Hopefully he comes back 100% but when NFL players get older, things tend to take a long lasting affect and it usually becomes easier to get injured again.

GOOD STUFF

Well said.

Culliver played 63.2 percent of the snaps last season. Culliver allowed a completion percentage of just 49.3 and a 76.9 passer rating when targeted, according to Pro Football Focus.

No kickoffs? :doh:

Gotta be a trial run for trying to implement it for the real games.


If the draft right before the game then the players grab that jersey or is it ahead of time?

I like the old way of doing it. Would be interesting to see how great the champ really is.

The early NFL All-Star Games of 1939-42 featured an all-star team made up of all the best players of the league competing against the league champions of that year.

Riley Cooper excused from Eagles activities, seeks help - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000224943/article/riley-cooper-excused-from-eagles-activities-seeks-help)

Seriously? I think this is starting to get a little overblown. I get that what he said was extremely racist and could very easily hurt people. But he's apologized profusely to everyone that could have been offended, he says he's disgusted with himself...what more can he do? Michael Vick said he could accept Cooper as a teammate, so I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Everyone needs to move on; forgive and forget.
