I stumbled across this highlight video of Dennis Dixon on YouTube, and I was pretty impressed. It's a nice long video, so it's not just his top 5 plays or anything. If you watch Dixon, he's not primarily making plays with his feet and arm; he's executing the offense, and for the most part he's working within the game plan to find open receivers and make sound decisions. Most of the plays are remarkably un-impressive (other than in their result), much like watching Tom Brady drive up and down the field, taking what the defense gives and throwing only to open receivers. His other years in school were characterized by him making the plays himself, which led to a lot of inconsistency, but this video shows that he has matured a lot as a QB. At the very least, watching it made me think he could be a viable backup.

Rashard Soft?

Rashard Soft?

Personally, it sounds like even if the claim was at one time accurate, it's not any more due to maturity. But red flags are red flags.

The best drafting team (1996-2005) is.... - Mocking The Draft

Here's a nice little FanShot over at Mocking the Draft. The Steelers are the 4th best drafting team from 1996-2005. The Pats* were 10th, lending a little more credence to the idea that they had an "unfair advantage." Sorry, I know, time to let it go.

The link suggests it wasn't him, but who knows? Maybe some opposing QB's will be getting mysterious letters in the mail in the next few years...

Offseason Fun

Just like Fast Willie and Mendenhall kicking it off, we've had a pretty nice offseason. So, what's better than to spend your time on this cool little football mmorpg creating a player from the ground up, signing him to teams, playing in simulated games, and adding attributes after leveling up. This things a blast!

Heath Benedict Article

I know some of us were keeping tabs on Benedict as a good draft prospect, and I was pretty shocked by his sudden and inexplicable death. Part of me wondered if there were some drugs/steroids involved, but it looks like that was not the case. ESPN just did an article on him, so I thought I'd link it here. While it's a little kitschy, it doesn't go overboard, and I feel like they got a real feel for him and his family.
