It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!

It just might work.

You know Frankenbacker could get to the QB if asked.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

That's just because he has his cell phone number.

Well, they could really use a 265-lb "crush the pocket" guy opposite Matthews (to play Woodley opposite Matthews's Harrison)... but I really don't see that guy being Neal.

How athletic was the guy at the combine?

No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

Wasn't Harrison cut a couple of times before he really came on? I think we should cut Neal....then resign him. Maybe he'll come back playing like James Harrison.

Woodley would look good in green and gold. Even injured he could improve the pass rush. At one point of that draft I thought he would slide to them.

I'm sure they know what they are doing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trgo talk about using Cullen Jenkins as an OLB, back when he was a Packer, and yet Mr. Jenkins was the only down lineman in the 1-6-4 package?

I think that perhaps the OLB coach is more qualified to figure out who plays OLB than the DL coach.

Well, they did practice Cullen at OLB and he was not a happy camper.

In Neal's case, it could be the same people advocating for the switch of perhaps the training staff if they really think he should not be carrying that much weight.

But Neal might be his own worst enemy here. The end of season article about him said he would stay awake to work out rather than sleep while rehabbing. That doesn't sound like a solid approach to long term health.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
