It's pretty obvious that the Colts need some Big DTs for their defense. When we had a healthy Corey Simon and Booger McFarland our defense was awesome in 2005.

And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

New Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell made his second significant staff move in as many days today, choosing not to renew the contract of special teams coach Russ Purnell.

Purnell, 60, who has held the position since 2002, confirmed the move but declined further comment. His contract is up at the end of the month.


Hey, I like this guy already!

The Raiders need everything but new team colors and a logo.

Nah, they need a new owner and a #1 WR to go with Johnny Lee Higgins and build their offense around their 3 RBs. But I'd say upgrade the O-line and D-Line first.

Plus Mangini stole your D-Coordinator...

I like the Raiders. As soon as Al Davis dies they will become one of my favorite teams. It's just a cool team. I like the colors and the logo, and they really have so much potential. And I always played as them on Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES. I'm not sold on Russell but if he can be average they can succeed with a strong rushing attack between Fargas, McFadden, and Bush.


They need to sign the CB with the hard to say name to a long term contract.

The Giants need a healthy OSI, a playmaking linebacker, and a dominant #1 receiver again. It could be Plax, but a trade for an unhappy Anquan Boldin isn't out of the question. He's already stated he prefers to play elsewhere, and he wouldn't mind playing in NY. The Giants have extra picks this year from the Shockey trade, so they could get it done if they want to. If OSI is healthy and they get that receiver again, I expect them to rise to the top of the NFC again next year.

T.J. Housh-your-mama will be a free agent.

By far the best from this list:

T.J. Houshmandzadeh, UFA, Cincinnati Bengals
Bobby Engram, UFA, Seattle Seahawks
Devery Henderson, UFA, New Orleans Saints
Shaun McDonald, UFA, Detroit Lions
Hank Baskett, RFA, Philadelphia Eagles
Jabar Gaffney, UFA, New England Patriots
Dante' Hall, UFA, St. Louis Rams
Sam Hurd, UFA, Dallas Cowboys
Brandon Jones, UFA, Tennessee Titans
Ashley Lelie, UFA, Oakland Raiders
Amani Toomer, UFA, New York Giants
Roydell Williams, UFA, Tennessee Titans
Cedrick Wilson, UFA, Pittsburgh Steelers



I'd love to get Boldin across from Reggie Wayne but that won't happen. Marvin will be released to clear cap room.

I hate to say it, but I feel Toomer is done. He had the chance to be the #1 guy again the last few weeks, and couldn't do anything. He's really lost a step or even 2. I hope he retires. I doubt he'll be a Giant nest year.

I'm hearing the Giants may be interested in T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
ESPN is reporting the Cowboys may release T.O. I don't want him anywhere near NY.

Cleveland needs competent ownership. Until that happens, they'll be hiring and firing coaches and/or GMs every 2-4 years.

On the field, the biggest needs are big playmaking linebackers, a running back to replace Jamal Lewis, and a center. As GM, I personally would deal Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards for draft picks. I would also look to do the same with Derek Anderson and go with Brady Quinn as the QB.

Minnesota needs a QB and a receiver for Bernard Berrian to compliment. With the current roster in place, I feel that the Vikings would be set with those two additions.

Does Favre's contract still prohibit him from playing anywhere in the Packer's division? If not, as many of us speculated in the offseason, I think Minnesota would be a smart move. A strong running game and defense is any quarterback's dream.

The Cowboys need...yeah. I dunno, insert Romo the homo jokes here.

If Minnesota had a QB that defenses had to respect, they would be tough to beat, particularly with the breakaway speed of Peterson. They'll be in the hunt for Matt Cassell, Derek Anderson, possibly Pennington, Kerry Collins if he doesn't stop whining, and perhaps Favre. I personally wish Favre would just ride off into the sunset.

The Vikings should have snatched Byron Leftwich when they had the chance.

My first post on this board, and it has to be about the bears. The bears are just lost right now especially on defense ever since Ron Rivera left. The only thing ill be happy with is the bears getting new owners, new coaches, and of at least an decent WR.

I don't know why Babbich (I know I spelled that wrong) still has a job. Lovie's taking a bigger hand in the defense and I guess we'll have to see if that works. Plus they hired Rod Marinelli...

The Bears D has really been underperforming since they let Rivera go. I didn't understand the move when they did it, and I don't understand it now. I think they need to get a better coordinator in there, maybe a different offensive coordinator too. I think Orton and Forte and even Greg Olsen are solid building blocks on the offense but they do need a true #1 WR like a T.J. Housh-your-mama. But I don't have any confidence in Jerry Angelo as GM.

You would not believe the angst and lamentations of callers (and show hosts) to Dallas area sports shows about the Cowboys. You would think that these cafone believe that the Cowboys are entitled to a SB appearance and it must be the devil conspiring to deny them their right. You even have have some of them still referring to the Cowboys as America's team. You talk about immaturity.

I think they let Rivera go because he was costing alot of money or would be in the future to keep him around. Ron Turner needs to leave as he is terrible with play calling...but, over all though i blame Angelo and the ownership for the down fall since they are too cheap. Im hoping that the owner retires or dies (that may be sick, but its the truth) and the new owner makes changes.
