The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[UK Redsox]

Aqib Talib has gone to the Denver Broncos.

Revis Island to the Pats

Meanwhile.................

The Browns have cut quarterbacks Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell

Rumour is that they're after Matt Schaub

[ADVILLAFAN]

Weeden is rubbish, Campbell is limited. Shaub's an interesting choice, they never seem to do very well with QBs.

The other bloke, Hoyer I think his name is, looked okay last year, but got injured early on.

I see that Josh McCown has gone to Lovie Smith's Buccaneers. Good luck to him, I think Glennon does a similar job, maybe they're hoping that McCown can help to guide him through.

Vince Wilfork wants out of Foxborough

Peppers had gone to the Packers, can see him coming back to haunt us!

Melton still in talks with various teams; the Seahawks, Vikings, Cowboys and Bears I think.

Looking at the 'Worst moves in Free Agency' on the NFL website, they're saying that all of the Raiders' moves have been dreadful, could be a long season UK Redsox.

At least I'll get to see them lose in person for the first time

Its lucky that my attachment to the Raiders in the NFL is the loosest of any of my sports supporting attachments.

I also follow the Bills (another team that my dad used to watch when he was working for Xerox) and to a lesser extent the Patriots (its a Boston thing !)

Three different teams? Are you Beijing Redsox 4 Lyf?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Urgh, the Patriots! Hateful team.

The Raiders have signed Wide Received James Jones, who is useful.

He also worked in Dallas but I'm not bothered about them.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Henry Melton is going to the Dallas Cowboys. Jared Allen looks unlikely to sign with anyone!

[ADVILLAFAN]

The Redskins have proposed moving the kick-off forward to the 40 yard line and making them even more boring than they already are.

Why don't they just remove all kick-offs and field goals attempts from the game, it seems to be what they want to do?

[cdbearsfan]

The rule should be if you get a touchback you start from the forty-yard line. Force teams to kick to returners rather than just whacking it long.

And haven't they changed their name yet?

You get a touchback if it goes out the back of the endzone anyway.

[cdbearsfan]

I know, but after a touchback you start on the twenty yard line. If they had it so you start on the forty yard line, after a touchback, kickers will be forced to kick to returners.

The NFL don't want teams to kick to the returners, its deemed dangerous.

Any rule changes will be in order to reduce the number of returns not increase them
