Two first round draft picks.

Jury is still out on Jimmie Ward but you are going to argue Larry English? Really? Besides the hot piece of you know what he has now that guy is an embarrassment to the program.

I'm going to act like this isn't the craziest thing i've ever heard on this board. Yup that's what I'm going to, and trust me, i've heard plenty of crazy. You need to check yourself buddy.

Dog pound, I think he meant to say Sam Hurd was an embarrasment( no way could he have meant Larry English). How quickly people forget about Michael the Burner Turner. He had a really great career as well. FYI Jimmie Ward hasn't even hit his prime yet.

Someone brought up our two first round picks he said "the jury is still out on starting NFL DB Jimmie Ward" and that Larry English is "an embarrassment to the NIU." Easily the craziest thing i've heard on this board. Sounds like someone who is maybe 18 years old.

Da'ron Brown was also cut by the Chiefs, however, I saw he has a tryout with the Patriots either yesterday or today, so I listed him as a practice squad player with NE. Jimmie Ward and Doug Free are both starting week 1, while TLL and Rashaan Melvin will both be in backup roles.

Nice to see Melvin on the 53 man active roster. He got a little bit of play last year with NE.

For sure Larry's NFL career was highly disappointing. Seems like that was at least partially due to injury. Who knows what he may have done if healthy. Calling it an embarrassment is over the top.

So now we are going to move the goal posts and say it is not about making the team, they have to be Pro Bowlers, or their NFL career does not count.

I am hoping to run across some article about a former Huskie who now writes poetry, because I have the perfect punchline for it.

Da'Ron Brown just had a tryout w the Patriots. No word on if he was signed yet

I know, I said that. I just listed him as a PS squad player assuming he'll sign. If he doesn't, I can always move him to the FA category.

Ah sorry I missed that

It's a cold cold world in the NFL. Stingily got released from the Steelers practice squad for Cobb. Hopefully someone else gives him a real shot.
