DEION LAUNCHES THE IRONIC NICKNAME CLUB
Posted by Mike Florio on October 26, 2008, 7:54 p.m.

So we’re watching this weekend the highlight show on NFL Network. And Rich Eisen is narrating clips from the Redskins-Lions game (which was played in windy Ford Field).

And Eisen mentions Redskins running back Shaun Alexander, the 2005 NFL MVP. And then Deion Sanders barks out his pet name for Alexander.

Deion calls Alexander the “Tiptoe Burglar.”

It’s funny. And it’s arguably right on the money.

But Deion is the last guy who should be poking fun at anyone for being averse to physical contact.

In Deion’s world, “run support” means possible procedures for controlling diarrhea.

Very true. But Deoin will be in the Hall of Fame and Alexander wont..But like a lot of people said. I rather have a former MVP than a young guy like Mason who has upside and isn't declining (who can learn the offense).

The tip-toe burglar sucks!!

There had to be a better RB available than the Tiptoe Burglar. When is Betts back?

I haven't caught anything on Betts the last two weeks but, it would be nice to think OR hope he will be ready after the well needed bye week.

I hope we get a lot of these nicked guys on the o-line and defense back after the break. The bye this year is coming at the perfect time, just after the half way point.

O line was subpar today. we need all of our starters back, hopefully for the MNF game to keep momentum going into the bye week. JC shouldn't be put in any formation without at least one back in there to protect him or another TE. 2 sacks = 2 fumbles= 7 Lion's points.

I'm still concerned about our offense. We are not showing enough and we should have beaten these guys hands down. We did not do that. I hate to say it but a small part of me is afraid JC is regressing a bit. He missed some wide open receivers today and didn’t throw the ball away at critical times. I’m not saying he did poorly, I’m just saying I’m concerned knowing we are playing the Steelers on Monday.

One more thing, that man Zorn has as scary temper.. or is it just Halloween? .. Boo! He's scary!

82% Completion percentage, 300+ yards and a touchdown and no interceptions (still). No, I'd say he didn't do poorly either.

JC is not regressing at all. The o-line didn't help matters out much today for the QB. But JC is playing great!

Most of JC passes where spot on! Keep up the great work. The o-line has to step it up, in particular JC's blind side (Left tackle fill in Heyer) was the weak link and the penalties did not help.

Regressing is a poor choice of words (Referring to the earlier post, but just responding to yours). I think he had to modify his play style a little due to the fact Samuels was out. I think that hurt the entire O-Line severely. The whole style of passing and rushing had to change.

While the game looked ugly on TV, on paper it looked like we handed the Lions their ass.

That's seems to be our calling card. The only game we haven't really dominated the stat sheet was week 1. Yet we just can't put anybody away. It's gotta change.

First of all I said "a small part of me is afraid he is regressing a bit" and second - he fumbled and didn't throw the ball away which concerns me. He isn't good at protecting the ball in those situations which reminded me of last year. Third - I said he didn't do poorly, but I was concerned about the Steelers games because our offense wasn't getting the job done like it should have against the Lions. Stats say one thing, but if you watched that game our O did NOT do it's best.

JC IS part of the offense last time I checked. I tell it like I see it, too bad you all don't like it.

Sorry we're not seeing what you are as you seem to be the only one. But the numbers don't lie, outside of the fumbles he was outstanding throwing the ball. He was 23 of 28 (82.1%) for 328 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT for a rating of 127.4.

I'm failing to see any regression there at all.

What wide open receivers did he miss anyway?

Every QB makes mistakes during a game. Look around the league. The very best guys make mistakes. Whether it's holding the ball too long, throwing an INT or fumbleling, every single QB will make a mistake. These guys are not machines. The key is if you can have a guy who makes more plays than mistakes. Tony Romo turns the ball over every single game he plays in. But his playmaking makes up for his mistakes. Get it??

Look at the close games we've won. If JC was throwing INT's we lose a game here or there. To have no INT's through 8 games is un heard of at any level of football. But at the pro level it's just shocking. So if you really understood football, you'd realize your comments make no sense. JC is making a lot more plays than he is making turnovers. Look at the 3rd and 20 something he converts at the end of the half. Just drilled a great ball to Thrash. That drive got us 3 points. Or the TD pass he threw to Moss where he side steped an unblocked blitzer, re set his feet and hit Moss on a perfect pass. If you looked at the positives instead of one or two neagatives, you'd get the total picture. But for some reason you can't do that.

EXACTLY. I"m sorry Jason couldn't' complete on 86% of his passes instead of 82%

I agree! I don't like field goals, I like touch downs. The numbers were great today but I have seen us dominate the stat lines and still lose the game in the past. I hate losing to teams we manhandled in everyway but in the scoring department.

OMFG. are u serious? that man Zorn is our head coach and you say this like he's our preacher. get a grip and try to check stats first before you criticize campbell or zorn for that matter. Geez it's like talking to a cowboys fan. as ice cube would say, u betta check yo' self before u wreck yo' self
