I think the kick off rule is really going to change rosters up a bit. Teams arent going to need as many “special teams” guys and will probably be able to keep another OL guy or two on the roster… that could possibly help quite a few times.
I dont like the rule but its not getting rid of ST. The more exciting special teams plays are punt returns anyway.[/quote]
I definitely agree. Gadget guys like Trindon Holiday are no longer going to get any attention during the draft or rookie FA signings.
To be honest though, I’d rather have football with altered kickoffs then no football at all.
On a more interesting note, any rookies NOT drafted during the draft won’t be allowed to sign with NFL teams as rookie free agents without a CBA in place.
The UFL has already stated that they will be aggressively pursuing such rookies, like the Legarrette Blount’s of last year. Very interesting.

I’d be fine with that. Kind of like having a nicotine patch to help ween myself.
Also saw today that HGH testing will be instituted under the new CBA. It will be interesting to see how that starts to play into injuries and player performance…
Apparently the 49ers are going to make a run at Bulger. The coaching brothers (John, Jim) have been doing a decent amount talking…
I’d rather have Palmer than Bulger, but Bulger will come at a much lower price. I guess Bulger could provide a good bridge if we take a QB, but honestly I’d rather watch Alex Smith putter around than Bulger.
Plus, Smith would give us a better shot at getting Luck!
^ Well of course Serius could have got it wrong it was like 6 oclock this morning. Are people just piling on now, Dez bought some diamond studs and some place is wanting to get free publicity? I mean the kid is not hurting for money.
