John Elway compares Montee Ball to Terrell Davis

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Quoting on May 08, 2013

montee-ball2

Terrell Davis brought us the Mile High Salute, which he then monetized because of course when I think about Terrell Davis, I think about delicious barbeque sauce.

He was also kind enough to give us four seasons of shifting and juking and breaking away in the open field, before injuries zapped his legs of that burst. At his peak in 1998, Davis ran for 2,008 yards with 21 touchdowns, a single-season rushing mark which is still fifth on the all-time list. Even though he hasn’t played since 2001, Davis remains one of just seven running backs in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season.

The dude could ball, and John Elway — the guy who put the ball in his gut — thinks a guy with Ball as his last name really reminds him of Davis.

Montee Ball. You know, the Broncos’ second-round pick (58th overall), and the third running back off the board two weeks ago.

John Mara on Victor Cruz: “I’m confident that we’ll end up reaching a deal”

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Quoting, Victor Cruz on May 07, 2013

cruz-suit2

Patience is not common among those who enjoy pigskin pugnacity. We need what we want, and we want it now.

If our wants, needs, desires, and burning itches aren’t satisfied, they fester into outright rashes. NFL fans have long been known to literally sit and itch themselves for an entire Sunday. It’s a bad scene.

Right now there’s great worry and therefore itching happening among Giants fans regarding Victor Cruz, the restricted free agent who’s aligned himself with the man who teaches pimpin’ to pimps. In mid April there was reason for that worry to spread and engulf the fantasy community. Outright anguish ensued when general manager Jerry Reese said he’s not fully confident Cruz will be signed a ready for opening day.

Now, John Mara has some soothing words.

Ryan Clark: Tom Brady “sees ghosts”

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Quoting on May 07, 2013

Ryan Clark is one saucy intern.

Yesterday the Steelers safety started his ESPN “internship” or whatever, which is really just a prolonged Bristol car wash that serves as an audition for a second career. If his ambition is to say things that make people angry and they’ll then use the Internet to insult his family and goldfish, then mission accomplished. So…congrats?

Rob Chudzinski is still choosing his Brandon Weeden words carefully

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Brandon Weeden, Quoting on May 03, 2013

weeden-ball2

Brandon Weeden is in an odd little conundrum right about now. Truthfully, I really just wanted to use the word “conundrum”.

Weeden is stuck in the middle between what the old coaches wanted, and what the new coaches want. Now, of course, the old guys don’t matter.

Every time the new guys — led by head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner — speak publicly in any format regarding Weeden, their words will be scrutinized by guys like me. Hi.

So, what say you now about Weeden, Chud?

No one knows what the hell the Bills are doing

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under 2013 NFL draft, Quoting on Apr 25, 2013

Nassib again

The Bills may not even know what the Bills are doing.

Complete and utter uncertainty will be the dominant theme during the first round, and that’s just our pizza order. When and where the quarterbacks in this draft fall will greatly hinge on what the Bills do with their No. 8 pick. They’ve been connected to multiple quarterbacks, and their strategy could therefore go in multiple directions.

But what remains remarkable is that mere hours before this draft earlier this afternoon, no one had any idea what the hell the Bills will do.

Jarvis Jones thinks that Jarvis Jones won’t get past the Steelers at No. 17

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under 2013 NFL draft, Quoting on Apr 23, 2013

jarvis-jones2

Throughout the draft process, Jarvis Jones has consistently been considered a top 15 pick, or thereabouts. Way back in the before time in December when the draft order wasn’t even finalized, Todd McShay ranked Jones as his 13th best prospect. Sometimes he even crept up higher and into the top 10, which will happen when you’re a fast dude who had 14.5 sacks last year, and 24.5 tackles for a loss, which led the nation.

Ultimately, concerns about his health (spinal stenosis) combined with a less than impressive 40-yard dash time at his Pro Day (4.92) have led to his slight tumble. But what he may lack in raw speed is compensated for with elite athleticism and burst, and that’s why the best outside linebacker in this draft who isn’t named Dion Jordan has been consistently mocked to the Steelers, a team very much in need at the position after the departure of James Harrison.

Which is good, because Jarvis Jones thinks that Jarvis Jones is going to Pittsburgh too.

David Caldwell says the Jaguars likely aren’t trading the No. 2 pick

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under 2013 NFL draft, Quoting on Apr 22, 2013

nassib-throw2

Of course, “likely” is the word you need to note here. There’s always a chance that come Friday morning, we’ll be able to look back at this post and laugh uproariously. We aim to entertain.

But for the record, as of Monday here’s the latest company line from Jaguars general manger David Caldwell…
