Back in August I started a post on Prechter with: Be very skeptical when speaking to an Elliotician. Their "alternative wave counts" mean that they can go back to any prognostication and say they just misread the waves. Sometimes I think I should just stick with my yummy chicken entrails and tea leaves recipe, but then the wavers go and get one right. Who knows'... That was Aug. 31 and he...

by Don Wright - AP Randy Mueller traded Chris Chambers to San Diego for a second round pick. Chambers was recently released by the Chargers.

Just like last offseason and the two that preceded it, I will scout every important player on the Seahawks roster, cite specific plays from the season that exemplified that player's...

A team stresses, falls out of the pennant race mid-season, and then relaxes and plays much better once the pressure...

I have three plans for this weekend: sit in my underwear, watch football and drink. I love the Seahawks , but the up and down can be tiring. I go into the bye week happy to have a week off and...
Looking back, Chad Rinehart knows he moped through most of his rookie year. As he made the transition from All-America tackle in college at Northern Iowa to NFL guard with the Washington Redskins last season, Rinehart knew he wouldn't play if veterans Pete Kendall and Randy Thomas were healthy. But just watching week after week was difficult to accept. Rinehart called it "an eye-opener" when...
With guard Randy Thomas going on injured reserve, conventional wisdom had the Redskins filling his spot with another offensive lineman, whether it was one elevated from the practice squad, or one -- such as Pete Kendall -- signed from the street. Meanwhile, one of the lessons learned -- or, more accurately, confirmed -- from the first two games is that, as John Keim of the Washington Examiner puts...
The lowlight of head coach Jim Zorn's press conference today was the official announcement that RG Randy Thomas "has a complete tear of the right bicep. He's going to have surgery on Wednesday or Thursday." Zorn continued, "We are very disappointed and he is very disappointed. He felt it pop, so we're going to get that repaired. He will be on injured reserve." (Thomas didn't speak,...
Playing with the lead last December, the New York Giants' defense wasn't doing anything fancy. The elaborate blitzes that flummoxed the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl were replaced by a simple four-man rush. And the Washington Redskins' banged-up offensive line couldn't block it. A sequence of eight second-half drop-backs by quarterback Jason Campbell told a bleak story. Scramble, sack, 8-yard...
It all came apart for the Washington Redskins and their aging offensive line in November. After allowing 16 sacks during a surprising 6-2 first half, the line collapsed against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. They surrendered 16 sacks in those four games, three of which were defeats. The Redskins never recovered en route to an 8-8 season. Those struggles...
Random thoughts: 1. Loved Cortland. The school and the town really embraced the Jets and the media. It's the way an NFL training camp ought to be: In a small town where folks can get close to the players and where a team can isolate itself and focus on football 24/7. 2. A shout-out to Pete Koryzno, the director of public relations for SUNY-Cortland. He was a gracious host and, on one memorable day...

Everyone loves a good list. But all too often, these kinds of lists turn into a ranking of the team's best players. In today's Top Ten list, the criteria is simple: Who can we simply not afford to lose to injury this season? Better put, who are the top ten players that are central to the success of THIS YEAR'S team--taking into account depth at each position and potential contributions from each player?...
Two years ago, Pete Kendall's contract squabble had far-reaching consequences for the Jets. Are they in danger of a repeat with Thomas Jones or Leon Washington?
