Browns | Wilson may be pressed into action
Thu, 4 May 2006 09:21:51 -0700
Jeff Walcoff, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports Cleveland Browns third-round draft pick WR Travis Wilson may find himself on the field earlier than expected. If No. 1 WR Braylon Edwards (knee) does not recover in time for the season, Wilson could be pressed into action. "We say that (Wilson) is more of a developmental guy but, I've also said that if Braylon doesn't make it on the field, he'll be playing," Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said. "We'll see if he's developmental or not. He might come in and be better than some other guys we got."
I liked that old Sooners in the NFL thread. Someone needs to bump that thing back to the front. I'll go looking. Never mind.
Other numbers:
Davin Joseph - 75
Travis Wilson - 81
Clint Ingram - 51
Chris Chester - 65
Ugh. Of course the Texans sign the worst blocker we've had in forever.

NFL dream becomes reality for wide-eyed Bears rookies
By Larry Mayer
May 5, 2006
LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Fullback J.D. Runnels didn't catch a pass, throw a block or even step on the field, but Thursday was one of the most monumental days of his football career.
The sixth-round draft pick from Oklahoma was among more than two dozen Bears rookies who arrived at Halas Hall in advance of this weekend's minicamp to get fitted for equipment, tour the training facility and meet with their new coaches.
Top Bears draft pick Danieal Manning of Abilene Christian gets fitted for a helmet at Halas Hall.
"It's great when you see your name go across (the television screen), but when you actually get in and see the locker room and start putting your helmet on, today was the day where everything started setting in for me," Runnels said.
"It was just a great day to finally get back into the football swing of things and get a family atmosphere around you."
Rookies who will practice once a day Friday, Saturday and Sunday include seven draft picks, 13 undrafted free agents and several others who will participate on a tryout basis.
"It's kind of overwhelming," third-round draft pick Dusty Dvoracek said after arriving at Halas Hall Thursday, "to drive up and see these awesome facilities and (realize that) I'm a part of this now. It's really neat and special and I'm excited."
Bears top draft pick Danieal Manning is eager to return to the field today after spending the last few weeks traveling around the country to meet with NFL teams in advance of the draft.
"I want to show my athleticism and that I'm ready to play," he said. "It's been a while since I've been out there running. I told coach (Lovie) Smith that I'm ready to start working out."
Runnels is determined to show coaches that "I'm mentally and physically ready to play."
Rookie Dusty Dvoracek spent part of his first day at Halas Hall in the weight room.
"I want to show them that if I can balance both of those and learn the playbook that I'll be ready to play this year," he said.
"I definitely think I can be an asset on special teams and I want to show them that early. I want to show that I'm ready and that they made the right choice in the sixth round."
No rookie is more ecstatic about playing football in Chicago than Dvoracek, a lunch-pail defensive tackle who played alongside Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris for three seasons at Oklahoma.
"I'm excited about coming to the best defense in the NFL last year, getting into this scheme and getting to play with Tommie again," Dvoracek said.
"We run a real similar scheme at Oklahoma and I'm going to work hard and play football. I'm just excited to get this opportunity."
The 6-3, 306-pounder from Lake Dallas, Texas, had spoken to the Bears on several occasions before the draft and was hoping that he would be heading to Chicago.
"I couldn't have come to a better team," said Dvoracek, who was selected by the Bears with the 72nd overall pick. "It's such a good fit because it's a blue-collar town and I'm a blue-collar guy.
"I love football and Chicago is one of the most football tradition-rich places you can go. If you take all 32 teams, this is the best spot for me by far. It just worked out perfectly."
BSG nip.
Well, crap.
Oops, that might be misinterpreted. I meant "nip" as in "catnip."
Well, crap.
Because BSG (BlondeSoonerGirl) really loves Dusty, BTW.
Well, crap.

Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.

Heh.
Oh, and h3ll yes - I'mmina be a Bears fan this year. They seem to like them some Oklahoma boys...can't say that I blame them...
The Skinny on Bills Undrafted Players
Below we provide some of the career highlights on each of Buffalo's rookie free agent prospects.
CB - Eric Bassey - 6'1" 200 - Oklahoma
An athletically gifted cornerback that didn't get a lot of playing time at Oklahoma due to injuries and talented players ahead of him in the lineup. Played in 11 games last season as a sub-package corner posting 15 tackles and a pass defensed. In 49 games for the Sooners he finished with 112 tackles, three interceptions, 16 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
sweet. I have that same shirt......my nipples are hard
Ole Vet Posse SGT-AT-ARMS.
Holy crap! Is that all that he's squatting? I'm afraid he has a conditioning problem.
Well, crap.
Compression shorts are a great thing.
Not according to my What a ****ing hillbilly should know... thread.
Well, crap.
Oh, I meant for sewing the legs up, hanging and storing your onions in. Not for actual wearing.
Why all of the football talk suddenly here in the South Oval?
Well, crap.
