NFL News & Notes 9/6/09
There seems to be a trend of firing offensive coordinator’s and a couple teams that still haven’t named their starting quarterbacks yet. Wouldn’t be shocked if none of the teams in these situations (Buffalo, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Detroit) end up being a “surprise team” this year.
Buffalo- fire their offensive coordinator.
Cincinnati- The big OT Andre Smith finally signs and then…two days later fractures a bone in his foot in a non-contact drill. He will miss the first week of the season and after that is not sure yet. With a big guy like him this could be a lingering injury, something to keep an eye on.
Chicago- Kevin Jones is out for the year after injuring his ankle in the final pre-season game. Forte’s fantasy value goes up even more now. Bears expect CB Charles Tillman to be ready for season opener.
Cleveland- Still haven’t named a starting quarterback.
Dallas- Felix Jones may get some more touches around the goal line per The Dallas Morning News.
Denver- Kyle Orton is questionable for the start of the season. Knowshon Moreno is practicing and probable for season opener.
Detroit- Still haven’t named a starting quarterback. Doesn’t look like Stafford has played well enough to earn the starting spot yet. Kicker Jason Hanson is “progressing well” and hopeful for season opener.
Houston- Steve Slaton to lose short-yardage and goal line carries to Chris Brown http://www.fftoolbox.com/football/nfl_news.cfm?news_id=609. Rex Grossman throws for 197 yards and two touchdowns in their final pre-season game.
Jacksonville-Maurice Jones-Drew suffers a shin contusion in final pre-season game. He is listed as questionable to week 1 but will not miss any significant time due to the injury.
Kansas City- fire their offensive coordinator.
Philadelphia- Vick plays extensively is final pre-season game. Doesn’t put up great numbers but shows flashes of explosiveness. He will be eligible to play in week 3.
Minnesota- Favre gets a $10,000 fine for his illegal block against Eugene Wilson in the Houston game.
New England- continue to take advantage of the lowly Oakland Raiders. First they get Randy Moss for next to nothing and now they trade their aging defensive lineman Richard Seymour for a 2011 first round draft choice which will most likely be very valuable lottery pick.
New Orleans- Pierre Thomas says he questionable for season opener vs. the Lions with a sprained MCL.
N.Y. Jets- Sanchez looks great going 5-5 with a touchdown on his only drive of the game.
San Diego- LT gets motivated by comments from Jim Brown http://www.fftoolbox.com/football/nfl_news.cfm?news_id=605.
Tampa Bay- fire their offensive coordinator.
