Michael Vick portera-t-il encore l'uniforme des Falcons d'Atlanta? Le propriétaire des Falcons d’Atlanta, Arthur Blank, et le directeur général Rich McKay, ont parlé du quart-arrière Michael Vick et ont utilisé le passé.

Bien qu’il soit innocent jusqu’à preuve du contraire, Vick, le visage de la concession des Falcons, ne le serait plus pour longtemps. Ses jours semblent maintenant être comptés. McKay et les Falcons sont prêts à réagir alors que Vick se défendra devant la cour fédérale de Richmond en Virginie dans l’affaire des combats illégaux de chiens. Blank souhaitait une suspension de quatre matchs mais il n’aura pas à agir puisque le commissaire Roger Goodell a demandé au quart-arrière de ne pas se présenter au camp.

Pendant des années, Blank et toute l’organisation des Falcons ont appuyé Vick. Il était excitant. Il remplissait le Georgia Dome. Blank l’a récompensé avec une prolongation de contrat d’une valeur de 130 millions $ alors qu’il croyait que les jambes magiques de Vick et son bras puissant pourraient mener les Falcons au Super Bowl.

Le fait que Blank envisageait suspendre le quart-arrière pour quatre rencontres avant même que Vick n’enregistre un plaidoyer dans sa cause dit tout. Celui qui a été le meneur de l’attaque des Falcons n’est plus dans une position pour mener. Il était l’étoile à Atlanta et maintenant, il est cuit. Pour regagner son statut dans l’organisation, il doit se défendre et être jugé non-coupable et alors il pourra mettre les efforts pour revenir dans l’alignement.

Imaginez la colère du propriétaire qui arrive de vacances passées en Afrique lorsqu’il a appris les détails de l’affaire Vick. Le crime des combats de chiens est si dégoûtant et embarrassant que l’état-major des Falcons a passé des jours entiers à trouver des façons de se séparer de Vick plutôt que de l’appuyer. Blank et McKay ont étudié la possibilité de le congédier purement et simplement. Mais ils ont opté pour une suspension.

Blank n’a pas voulu donner un congé payé à Vick. Il ne veut pas lui verser six millions $ et apprendre par la suite que le quart-arrière est coupable. Blank est ce genre de ce propriétaire qui est fier de l’image que dégagent ses entreprises. Les Falcons pourraient demander à Vick de rendre une partie de l’argent qu’on lui avait consenti.

Il faut comprendre que la décision rendue par Goodell d’ordonner à Vick de ne pas se présenter au camp est un compromis négocié avec l’Association des joueurs de la NFL, la NFL et les Falcons. Les Falcons avaient décidé de le tenir loin du terrain aussi longtemps qu’ils le pouvaient. Les règlements de la NFL prévoient qu’une équipe ne peut suspendre un joueur pour plus de quatre matchs. Blank y était allé pour le maximum.

Les trois parties ont travaillé toute la journée lundi pour trouver une solution acceptable pour tous. Donnons crédit à Goodell mais ce dernier ne pourra pas raccorder les relations maintenant tendues (voire inexistantes) entre Vick et les Falcons. Il semble que Goodell va laisser passer une bonne partie du camp d’entraînement avant de permettre le retour de Vick.

Quiconque pense que Vick jouera pour les Falcons cette année vit dans un monde fantaisiste. C’est possible mais tout joue contre le quart. Premièrement, il doit prouver son innocence dans l’affaire des combats de chiens. Les Falcons sont maintenant l’équipe de Joey Harrington, du moins temporairement. Vick fait partie de l’équipe, mais il n’a plus d’appui.

INCROYABLE ! Mike Vick fait le JT de F2 !

Falcons' cap ramifications if Vick is released

By Pat Kirwan

(July 26, 2007) -- I was in France all last week and learned that even the French have an opinion about what to do with Michael Vick. We all hear the different options: a leave of absence with pay; a leave without pay; a year-long suspension; status quo, maybe termination. And anything in between.

Ils ont un avis sur tous ces français...

Bulger qui vient de resigner pour 62.5M$ sur 6 ans, et Russell qui a pas encore signé avec les Raiders mais qui chercherait un contrat proche de celui de Bulger. Il a encore rien prouver, il veut déjà un contrat au niveau des Manning, Brady, Bulger ou Favre.

Comme disait Allen pour justifier le choix de OG Joseph en 1er tour.

"Carnell Williams doit trouver Joseph très sexy, Chris Simms aussi"

C'est clair que si tu mets un Shields, Pace, le RB va les trouver très sexy...

La phrase qui tue de la part du GM des Giants sur OT Luke Petitgout.

"People act like Petitgout was the second coming. He never made the Pro Bowl, and I don't think he ever was a first alternate. Now all of a sudden he's the savior? That's ridiculous. I don't think we're that bad off without Luke Petitgout. He was not a star left tackle. He was a solid left tackle on some occasions and other times he wasn't. Luke has been a marginal player for a long time."

ça commence à parler parmi les accusés de Surry County :

Michael Vick's co-defendant, who pled guilty to federal dog-fighting conspiracy charges, said Monday that he was financed almost entirely by Vick.
As part of a plea bargain, Tony Taylor said "Bad Newz Kennelz" was funded by Vick and admitted to executing dogs by way of drowning, hanging, and electrocution in 2002. He also said Vick was frequently at dog fights.

L'électrocution, genre avec un Taser, ça peut peut etre tuer un chien dans l'instant, mais la pendaison ou la noyade... J'arrive toujours pas à comprendre

ça y est c'est officiel.
Gros culp a signé chez les silver and black.
Culp, Walter, Russel,
avec Russel qui fait sa star avant même d'avoir lancé un ballon en faisant son holdout (ceci dit, Quinn aussi à Cleveland), walter qui était vu comme le Qb de l'avenir il y a deux ans, Culp qui n'est plus (et de loin) ce qu'il était, josh Mc Cown qui........bah inutile d'en dire plus etJeff Otis que personne ne connait, ça fait 5 Qb et pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent de valable en fait........
faut espérer pour eux que Russel ne sera pas un bust (même si je mettrai bien une piècette sur ce coup )
Comme en plus, il n'y a pas grand monde à qui lancer le ballon (Curry, Gabriel, M Williams, whitted,Taylor, Porter, Parson, Morant: who are these guys???)
Quand on voit que dans leur depthChart, les titulaires sont Mike Williams et Jerry Porter .......... et Mc Cown le QB #1 jusqu'à la signature de Culp.

en clair, les raiders ont toutes les chances de drafter encore haut, très haut la saison prochaine

Mon moment préféré, quand Mel Kiper (soi disant expert, essaye de dire qu'il avait vu les bons et mauvais QB)

Kiper: Reviewing the notes
Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. takes a look back at his draft notes on some notable quarterbacks.

Akili Smith: He was a one-year wonder at Oregon, and that's what I said in the report. Prior to that, this is a player who had a sixth- to seventh-round grade going into his senior year. He went from being off the charts to being a first-round pick -- and a very high pick. Two weeks before the draft, some of the insiders were saying that the Cleveland Browns might have been leaning toward Smith over Tim Couch with the No. 1 overall pick. His delivery was a little unorthodox but overall he had some physical skills to indicate he could play in the NFL.

Cade McNown: I debated the scenario with Joe Theismann about McNown going to Chicago. My point was you have a QB with an average to below-average arm coming from UCLA. The worst possible scenario would have McNown going to the Midwest to a cold-weather city in Chicago where you have to deal with the wind. And, you also have to go to Green Bay once a year. I thought for a team like the Bears to pick a QB with questionable arm strength was very debatable.

Ryan Leaf: He didn't throw a tight spiral, but in Leaf's case he had a big, strong arm. He wasn't the ultimate team leader, but he was tough, hung in the pocket and carried that team on his shoulders to the Rose Bowl. It was split as to who the best QB was in that draft was that year. I went with Peyton Manning, but it was no slam dunk. There were a number of teams that thought Leaf was a better prospect than Manning. Of course, he had problems with media and that spilled over to his teammates; his performance level wasn't very good and he will go down as one of the biggest busts in NFL draft history.

Marc Bulger: He was a late-round pick (6th round) by the Saints. He did a pretty good job at West Virginia for Don Nehlen and his father played at Notre Dame, so he had good blood lines. He ended up in St. Louis where he played for Mike Martz. He waited in the wings, got his chance and ended up shining for Martz. Bulger was poised in the pocket and has pinpoint accuracy. He isn't going to wow you over physically, but his arm is good enough and what he does great is hits his receivers in stride and gives his receivers an opportunity to maximize that catch, which is why his accuracy was ideal for Martz' system.

Tom Brady: I checked back over the 30 years I've been doing draft reports and I usually grade 15-20 QBs a year. Of all the QBs over the last 30 years, Tom Brady was the slowest (in terms of 40 time) and had the worst vertical leap of any QB I've ever written up. However, Brady came out of Michigan and what he had going for him was the Big Ten opposition and pressure-packed environment he played in. He had some huge games against some quality teams his senior year. He didn't wow you over and needed protection because he wasn't the most gifted athlete. But this is where pocket awareness can make up for a slow 40 time, and he more than made up for it by the way he slides and moves instinctively around the pocket.

Mais le mieux c'est quand même la draft 2001:

. San Diego | Michael Vick, QB, Virginia Tech: During his upcoming individual workout, Vick has a chance to lock up the top spot in the draft. With John Butler taking over as the Chargers GM, it would make sense to begin a new era with a gifted athlete like Vick who possesses so much upside potential.

2. Arizona | Gerard Warren, DT, Florida: There is no question that DT is the key need area for the Cardinals heading into the draft. In addition, Warren certainly deserves consideration this high up the board. He's potentially a dominating, collapse-the-pocket type, able to really disrupt things along the interior with his combination of athleticism, quickness, strength and desire.

3. Cleveland | Koren Robinson, WR, N.C. State: The Browns need to assemble a more effective talent base at the skill positions, which will provide a better opportunity for Tim Couch to establish himself as one of the top young signal callers in the NFL. RB is also a key need area, but with Robinson's awesome skill level, I don't see how the Browns can pass him up.

4. Cincinnati | Leonard Davis, OT, Texas : Not only is Davis huge and powerful when it comes to moving defenders off the line of scrimmage, but he also made great strides throughout this past season when it came to pass protection from his LT spot.

5. Atlanta | Justin Smith, DE, Missouri: I know the Falcons invested a late first-round choice a few years ago on Patrick Kerney, but with DE still a need area, Smith would make a great deal of sense. Not only does he have the eye-catching physical ability to wow the NFL brass, but he also plays the game with a tremendous amount of desire and intensity.

6. New England | Kenyatta Walker, OT, Florida: With skill-position talent needed on offense the Pats could go a number of directions with this choice. How about a trade down, and then grab TE Todd Heap at a more desirable point in the draft (which would be the middle portion of round one)? If they remain at this spot, however, Walker would be an excellent addition to the Pats' offensive line. While he operated at RT with the Gators, there is no question that Walker has all the necessary skills to reach Pro Bowl status at the critical LT spot.

7. Seattle (from Dallas) | David Terrell, WR, Michigan: Now that the Seahawks have landed QB Matt Hasselbeck in the trade with Green Bay, they can look to upgrade the wide receiving corps. While they have a bright young wide-out in Darrell Jackson, a big-play talent to work on the other side is needed. Terrell would have figured earlier had it not been for the recently announced injury (stress fracture in his foot) that he reportedly played with all year. The question now becomes, will any surgery be required? And if not, will he be able to work out prior to the draft? Right now, Terrell is the wild card in the early portion of round one. Stay tuned...

8. Chicago | LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, TCU: With his speed and demonstrated ability to catch the football, Tomlinson appears to have moved slightly ahead of Deuce McAllister at the RB position. The durability issue also helps Tomlinson. While the Bears have an over-achieving, hard-working back in James Allen, Tomlinson is potentially a top-drawer feature back. I know the Bears struck out in past years with first-round busts at RB -- including Rashaan Salaam and Curtis Enis -- but the third time could be the charm with an all-around talent like Tomlinson.

9. San Francisco | Deuce McAllister, RB, Mississippi: If he's still on the board at this point, I don't know how the Niners could pass him up. I still believe strongly that McAllister is one of the top four to five players in the draft, with the all-purpose skills to really provide a major boost to an offense. With Jeff Garcia emerging at QB, McAllister could prove to be the ideal compliment with his ability to beat a defense as both a runner and super blue-chip receiving option.

10. Green Bay (from Seattle) | Freddie Mitchell, WR, UCLA: After his impressive showing in Indy at the combine, Mitchell has clearly established himself as one of the elite offensive players in the draft. The Packers would never have been able to secure a big-play WR like Mitchell had they not made the deal involving QB Matt Hasselbeck with Seattle that elevated the Packers from the 17th to 10th spot in round one.

11. Carolina | Steve Hutchinson, OL, Michigan: If the top two RBs are off the board, the Panthers could look to the versatile Hutchinson, knowing that Chris Terry has the skill level to shift from right to LT. While Hutchinson operated at guard for the Wolverines, he has the ability to play center as well as RT. The Panthers would also be getting a great deal of value with this selection. I believe Hutchinson is one of the top five to nine players in the draft; plus, they would get a versatile performer who could reach Pro Bowl status at three different positions.

12. Kansas City | Fred Smoot, CB, Mississippi State: With nothing but question marks at the CB spots, the Chiefs would have to feel fortunate if they could land the top pure cover man in the draft. Smoot thrives on the challenge of going up against the opposition's top wide-out, combining superior instincts with the confidence of Deion Sanders.

13. Jacksonville | Andre Carter, DE, California: With so many potential holes opening up along the Jaguars' offensive line, the aforementioned Hutchinson would be ideal. However, if he's off the board, DE becomes a priority, with Carter figuring to combine with Tony Brackens to give the Jaguars a pair of play-making performers on the outside. Remember, for most of the year or even just before he checked in at just 249 pounds in Indy, I figured Carter would be a top five to eight selection.

14. Buffalo | Will Allen, CB, Syracuse: After his strong showing at the combine, Allen has closed ground on Smoot in the battle to see who will be the first CB selected. With the Bills, he'd have an opportunity to compete for a starting job right away as a rookie, working opposite another former first-rounder, Antoine Winfield. At the very least, he would significantly upgrade the depth situation at this spot.

15. Washington | Santana Moss, WR, Miami (Fla.): Not only did Moss come through with a strong individual workout last week, running a 4.37 and turning heads with his amazing 44-inch vertical jump, but he also has the production to match with the Hurricanes. The bottom line with Moss is that he's a playmaker, pure and simple. Keep in mind, the thinking here could change, depending on what transpires with Derek Smith in free agency. If he signs elsewhere, Dan Morgan would be the ideal hole-filler, bringing tremendous physical ability as well as great leadership to the Redskins' defense. How about a linebacking corps of LaVar Arrington and Shawn Barber on the outside, with Morgan in the middle. If Smith is re-signed, WR would be the obvious area they would look to upgrade; that's why Santana Moss would be a nice addition if he is still on the board.

16. Pittsburgh | Dan Morgan, MLB, Miami (Fla.): I could have gone a number of directions here, with Nebraska center Dominic Raiola also making a great deal of sense. Raiola would follow in the footsteps of Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson as the next great center prospect for the Steelers. However, with Levon Kirkland's status uncertain due to the salary cap, Morgan would be an ideal addition if Kirkland isn't retained.

17. Seattle (from Green Bay) | Marcus Stroud, DT, Georgia: Even with the recent signing of former Viking John Randle, the Seahawks could still use another defensive lineman to throw into the mix. Last year, opposing RBs saw gaping holes develop against the outmanned Seahawks defense, who really felt the loss of Sam Adams in free agency. Remember, they stole Michael McCrary in the seventh round of the '93 draft and then allowed him to move on to Baltimore in free agency. Stroud, a potentially huge force clogging things in the middle, could give Holmgren the run-stuffer they lacked after allowing Adams to move on last year.

18. Detroit | Dominic Raiola, C, Nebraska: With C Mike Compton and RG Jeff Hartings both unrestricted free agents, the possibility exists that the Lions could be forced to upgrade the interior of their offensive line. Raiola established himself as the Huskers' top pivot man since Dave Rimington, figuring to anchor an NFL offensive line for a long time.

19. New York Jets | Chris Chambers, WR, Wisconsin: Needing a top-drawer compliment to Wayne Chrebet, the Jets should have a number of intriguing wide-outs to consider at this point in round one. That's due to the tremendous depth and talent this year at WR. Chambers combines ideal size with blazing speed, really coming on strong down the stretch this past season after missing the first four games of the 2000 campaign with a stress fracture in his right foot. Oregon State wide-out Chad Johnson (who is Keyshawn Johnson's cousin) would also be an intriguing possibility for the Jets.

20. St. Louis | Richard Seymour, DT, Georgia: With a complete restructuring taking place along the interior of the Rams' defensive front, Seymour would be a great addition. He's physically gifted and has shown dominating potential at various stages of his college career with the Bulldogs. That's exactly what the defenseless Rams are looking for.

21. Tampa Bay | Jeff Backus, OT, Michigan: The Bucs hit the jackpot when they selected Paul Gruber with the fourth pick overall in the 1988 draft. This time around, with a huge need at LT, they could go right back to the Big Ten and land a tremendously consistent, incredibly durable veteran bookend in the underrated Backus.

22. Indianapolis | Damione Lewis, DT, Miami (Fla.): Things couldn't have worked out any better a few years ago when Colts GM Bill Polian opted to bring Edgerrin James into the fold. Here, with DT such a major need area, Polian could go back to the Miami Hurricane program and bring in a quality performer like Lewis. Remember, had it not been for a toe injury in his right foot that hampered him much of the season, you would have likely seen Lewis figuring in the top 10 to 15 overall.

23. New Orleans | Todd Heap, TE, Arizona State: While I could see him going earlier in round one, when you look at the needs of the teams selecting, it's hard to find a spot for Heap until this point in the draft. For the Saints, who just signed former Redskin Albert Connell to upgrade the WR position, Heap would give the offense a brand new dimension. With natural pass-receiving skills that rival former NFL star Kellen Winslow, don't you think that Jeff Blake and Aaron Brooks would welcome Heap's addition?

24. Denver | Jamal Reynolds, DE, Florida State: During the early-middle part of the season, I envisioned a pass-rushing DE like Reynolds figuring much higher in round one. However, after his performance leveled off some down the stretch, he could possibly slide down this far. If that's the case, the Broncos, who need help along the defensive line (particularly at DE), would be a nice fit for a natural outside pass rusher like Reynolds.

25. Philadelphia | Chad Johnson, WR, Oregon State: Just prior to the combine, I thought Johnson would be a possibility for the Seahawks early in round one. However, after running just a 4.58, rather than the 4.3s that were anticipated, his star began to fall for the time being. After his upcoming individual workout, that should change, but whether he re-establishes himself as an early-mid first rounder is up for debate. If I'm the Eagles, I'd be keeping my fingers crossed that Johnson slides down this far. What an addition he would be for the Eagles and their talented young signal caller, Donovan McNabb.

26. Miami | Rod Gardner, WR, Clemson: While they Dolphins may look to add a wide-out in free agency, passing on a big, physical receiver like Gardner at this stage of round one would be awfully difficult. Like Cris Carter, he understands positioning, shows exceptional body control and has quite a pair of hands. And remember, the Dolphins had trouble scoring significant points in a number of key games this past season, then were shutout in the playoffs by the Raiders.

27. Minnesota | Willie Howard, DL, Stanford: With his 295-pound frame and ability to operate at either DE or DT, Howard would make a great deal of sense if he slides down this far. For the Vikings, their needs are simple. Defense, defense and more defense. And with the retirement of Robert Smith, you can put RB at or near the top of the Vikings' priority list.

28. Oakland | Drew Brees, QB, Purdue: The Raiders will be looking to upgrade the talent level at OLB and also at the safety spots on defense. Offensively, TE would become a need area if Rickey Dudley is allowed to move on as a free agent. With all that said, if Brees is still on the board at this stage of round one, the Raiders would figure to show interest. Rich Gannon isn't getting any younger, so there is no question that Jon Gruden and company have to start thinking about developing a young signal caller of the future. While he's only 6 feet tall and lacks top arm strength, Brees is a proven winner and tremendous competitor, with all the intangibles necessary for success at the pro level.

29. Tennessee | Reggie Wayne, WR, Miami (Fla.): Even though Derrick Mason was re-signed, Kevin Dyson is coming off a serious knee injury and the Titans also released veteran wide-outs Carl Pickens and Yancey Thigpen. It goes without saying that the Titans could use an influx of talent at WR. Wayne may lack impressive 40 speed, but he's a skilled route-runner with the best hands of any wide-out in the draft. (pour une fois je lui reconnais quelque chose de bien) The Titans could also be looking at DE if Kenny Holmes moves on in free agency.

30. New York Giants | Ken Lucas, CB, Mississippi: With his development into a blue-chip CB over the last two years after making the transition from WR, Lucas would be a definite hole-filler for the Giants. They re-signed Jason Sehorn but figure to be looking to upgrade the other starting spot on the corner.

31. Baltimore | Maurice Williams, OT, Michigan: Heading into the draft, RT figures to be the Ravens' major need area. Williams, a former DE who also worked some at guard with the Wolverines, settled in at RT over the last two years and did an excellent job. Since he's yet to really hit his stride, the NFL brass knows that with more experience, the sky is the limit for a top-drawer athlete like Williams.

Koren Robinson était réellement talentueux, il n'y avait pas de doute là dessus.

En revanche Freddie Mitchell Quand on y pense, quel tocard ce gars...
