Keep Backing Trent Edwards

Trent Edwards has been bad lately. Eight interceptions, two fumbles, and a safety over his lsat four games. But don't give up on him. He got off to a great start, and look at the four defenses he's facing over the next weeks: KC, SF, Miami, Jets, and Denver. No disrespect to any of these guys, but I think Trent will still be a consistent performer the rest of the year.

No One Knows Anything About Drafting Quarterbacks

Isn't it funny to see three guys at the top of the QB list this week who weren't even starting at the beginning of the year? I'm talking about Matt Cassel, Kerry Collins, and Shaun Hill.

I'm sure none of you drafted any of these guys haha. It juts proves that in the NFL and in all the FFL leagues none of us really knows anything about quarterbacks! Maybe we know something...but success at this position requires an amazing combination of skills, the right team, the right coaches and offense, and luck.

The thing is to look at who these guys replaced. OK, Cassel was a complete fluke because no one would have predicted that Tom Brady was going out for the season. But the other two guys replaced guys who weren't that strong to begin with.

So if you didn't pick quarterbacks who have been consistently good, solid players, then you can't complain about missing out on Kerry and Shaun. I see Shaun remaining consistent, because he's a gamer with a cool head. Kerry is having the season of his career, so good for him. He's fitting in perfectly at this stage of his career with that system.

Will Reggie Play? And Will He Be Any Good?

We'll find out tomorrow if Reggie Bush is going to play Monday night against Green Bay. This reminds of last week, when there was hope every day...but then he wasn't available. As I mentioned in my video about injuries, some are tougher than you think.

The meniscus is one of the tough ones, because you have to be able to push off your legs to have any hope as a running back in the NFL. So a bad meniscus isn't a killer if you're just walking around the office, but man, it's going to be tough for Reggie to be effective even if he plays.

Dallas Has Lost Its Chemistry

Jets and Pats, 'Boys and 'Skins, and More

Here's what I think about the Jets and Pats this Thursday, as well as what I think about a few other key games. All I can say is I wouldn't want to be a Cowboys fan this week!

My Video Take on Injuries

Here's what I think about turf toe and high ankle sprains. Ouch!!

Watch Those Injury Reports

All good fantasy players watch injury reports like a hawk. But be sure you know that some injuries are more trouble than they appear.

Take turf toe. Doesn't sound that bad. But when you get turf toe is means you have jammed your toe badly, and makes it impossible to push off. Turf toe ruins a running back's chances to be successful. Even if he plays with turf toe, he won't be effective.

The high ankle sprain is another one. Doesn't sound bad, but it is. I had one in college and it took me almost two months to recover! Again, you have to be able to push off to be effective. With a high ankle sprain, you can't.

I tell you, sometimes it's better to have a broken leg from the player's point of view. At least then, you know you can't play, and you are less likely to push things too hard as you recover.

On the other hand, quarterbacks can play even with serious dings like bad shoulders and bruised ribs. Game management is so important to QBs, they can get by if they're not in the best shape. But give a QB a thumb injury, and he's going to be terrible.

So when you look at injury reports, don't look at just how "serious" they are. Look to see how they will directly affect a player's performance.

Kurt Warner is the Joe Montana of AZ's Offense

Hey, I talk about what is wrong with the Cowboys here, as well as the Minneosota-Green Bay game (which will be real big), and how Kurt Warner is just The Man this year. Enjoy!
