Training Camp Preview

It’s my birthday so this is getting half assed…sorta like my sex drive of late.

The Pittsburgh Pirates season officially ended today with the start of Steelers training camp. Nate Washington has more wives than the Bucco’s have wins so they are dead to us now. We can only hope that these 15 two a day practices will pay off in the 4th quarter.

Preview

OFFENSIVE LINE– Alan Fanecca should be solid because it’s a contract year for him. If Starx gets a mean streak going he could be as dominate as I am in bad mitten.

Dedication

Marvel Smith has been "doin' work" some time now. It will be interesting to see how the running game plays out with Okobi (If anyone has the lyrics to his song “Hines Field” send that shit in. Yeah he has his own rap CD. I kid you not). Okobi’s speed could add more to the running game.


QUARTERBACKS – Ben got hit by a car then lost his appendix. Hopefully this is why he led the NFL in interceptions. Not much to say other than Charlie Batch is the balls.

RUNNING BACKS – The addition of Kevin Barlow is key. He could be a solid No. 2 or a 3rd down back. Willie Parker had a huge year last year hopefully it carries into 2007.

WIDE RECEIVER – Solid core led by Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes. Holmes led all rookies in receptions last year but Nate Washington led all men in most impregnatncies. Look out for Dallas Baker (Big guy from Florida).

TIGHT END – Ever since Matt Cushing left this has been a weak spot.

K – Reed is money

DEFENSIVE LINE – Brett “Keeper of the Castle” Keisel and Aaron Smith are underrated. Casey Hampton does what he wants when he wants.

LINEBACKER – Even without Porter this still is a solid unit. Timmons, if healthy,can be a huge addition. James Harrison is the first player in NFL History to have recorded a Choke Slam in a game.

DEFENSIVE BACKS- Tyrone Carter (*leader of Evolution) is where its at. The teams future is on his shoulders. Bryant McFadden should be competing for a starting spot. Starter or not he has his own Billboard in Oakland. Do Ike Taylor or Deshea Townsend have there face all over Oakland?

Survey Says…No

"70% of the Earth is covered by water, the other 30% is covered by Troy Polamalu”

Thanks to Blaine C. for that

Didn't bring our A game, we're in vacation mode

Goodnight and God bless
