  1. I am curious as to where you would rate Deshan Watson? Depending on where he plays along with handling his massage issues … he would be a top tier QB

  3. I also flagged huddle support ( support@thehuddle.com) to correct. Not sure what was done but it appears that everything is working now.
  4. This is very concerning that other folks can see personal information. Any thoughts/response from the site/admins?
  5. I am seeing issues as well with Myhuddle. I have to keep logging in, when I do it is not my user id...
  6. I have been around here for quite sometime and I rarely post. Some may call me a “lurker”. This is the only site I pay for I enjoy the reading articles/projections and have been for many years. In my eyes what The Huddle along with other sites provide you with information what you do with that information is entirely up to you, use it don’t use it. To blame The Huddle or another site for your poor showing is wrong. Take responsibility for your draft/moves and look in the mirror for someone to blame.
  7. Great game by the Eagles team. Congrats to the players, team, fans and city. Well played.
  8. Agreed, the media circus is already in full swing..
  9. Maybe it’s been mentioned somewhere so sorry if this has been asked but with all the players and now owners showing some type of solidarity, why haven’t the owners/teams stepped up and signed Keap? Yes I know he is not that good but he is better than some backups out there.
  10. Hello, When I use myHuddle not all players are highlighted. I added Copper Kupp and he shows in my list of players however, when i click on WR weekly player rankings he is not highlighted. All my other players are listed and highlighted without issue.. Maybe its telling me i should not keep him Edit to add: He is also no showing up in the start bench tool... odd... Thank you Buzz
  11. The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Time - Pink Floyd Used to play this song each time we went out and said to my best friend, "Listen to the words" little did I know that those words were quite true. It brings back some good memories!
  12. From Rotoworld.. The Jets reportedly had no idea the Eagles were in the hunt for Nnamdi Asomugha "until near the end." The Eagles cold-played 'em. The Jets believed they had "some sort of understanding" with Asomugha if not necessarily a deal, according to CBSSports' Mike Freeman. The Eagles brain trust swooped in with a "phenomenal plan" developed by GM Howie Roseman and president Joe Banner before free agency began. "(The Jets) didn't pull out," one source said. "(The Jets) lost." Related: Jets Source: Newark Star-Ledger
  13. Hold the phones.... From the globe. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...hick_hayne.html Patriots coach Bill Belichick held his first press conference of training camp - and his first since the final day of the draft in April -- and while he acknowledged that a trade is in the works to bring Albert Haynesworth from Washington to New England, it isn't done yet. "I talked to (Redskins coach) Mike Shanahan last night and we are in the process with Haynesworth, but that's not complete yet, so I really can't comment on that at this point until it's completed, if it is completed. We'll see how all that goes," he said in his opening statement. It is interesting that Belichick used the word "if" the deal for Haynesworth gets done - it could be usual Belichick-speak, his not wanting to speak in absolutes, but given Haynesworth's history with conditioning tests, the big defensive lineman's health and condition could be a concern. Asked about Haynesworth, Belichick declined to speak further on him or the process or conditions of the trade, saying again he wouldn't discuss any of that until "when it's finished, if it's finished." We'll add more updates from Belichick shortly.
  14. From the Globe. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...s_trade_14.html The Patriots made their bold move. The team acquired defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth from the Washington Redskins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Patriots sent a 2013 fifth-round pick to the Redskins. The trade is contingent on Haynesworth passing his physical, which has been a bit of an issue in the past. Well, this will certainly liven up camp. There is no question that when the 6-5 1/2, 320-pound Haynesworth is right, he's terrific and the best defensive lineman in football. Double teams can barely contain him as he can rush the passer and defend the run. But he hasn't been right since getting paid by the Redskins in 2009 to the tune of $115 million over seven years. It's essentially a four-year, $48-million contract because his base salary goes to $29 million in '13. Hayesworth, if he wasn't asked to restructure his contract, is due $5.4 million in base salary this season (plus a $1 million workout bounus) and $7.2 million next year. The money is why this is Belichick's biggest reclamation project. When Randy Moss went to New England, he needed to remake himself to get paid down the line (still hasn't happened). Running back Corey Dillon, however, was making a nice chunk of change 3.3 million for 2004 and $3.85 million for '05. But Dillon at least liked to play. People aren't sure of that with Haynesworth. Let's not forget that Haynesworth faces an Aug. 23 trial for misdemeanor sexual assault. On the field, Haynesworth was suspended for the final month of the season by the Redskins. At the time he said he couldn't play for in the Redskins' 3-4 scheme any longer. The Patriots play a lot of four-man fronts, but he's still going to have to play the 3-4. That being said, no one is better in the league at fitting his scheme to his players than Belichick. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and defensive coordinator Jim Haslett (a former head coach himself) couldn't get Haynesworth to do anything. Of course, Shanahan tried to jam it down Haynesworth's throat. "I don't think I've ever had a player just tell me he didn't want to play "Okie" defense [the base 3-4] and then later say he didn't want to play nickel versus the run, 'Just play me on third downs,'" Haslett said. "No, I've never had that before. And we tried to accommodate him. It's a shame because he's athletic enough. He can do almost anything he wants. Obviously, he didn't want to do it. Good athletes can do a lot of different things. Basketball players -- guards can play forwards, they can play different positions. I watch throughout the league, I see wide receivers do the 'Wildcat.' I think to myself, 'If you're a good enough athlete, you can do almost anything you want. You've just got to want to do it.'" Haslett continued in on Haynesworth. "You always want to use good players, but they've got to be willing to do what you want them to do," Haslett said. "Obviously, if the guy's not willing to do what you want them to do and you're the head coach, and the guy doesn't practice well on Thursday -- about as poor as I've ever seen -- and then Friday, a so-called illness that he doesn't practice. Then, if I'm the head coach on Saturday, getting ready for Sunday, you've got to make a decision: What's best for the football club? "I think Mike made the right decision to make him inactive, based off what he saw. We know over the years, based off what we saw last year in film, when he doesn't practice well or he doesn't show up for Christmas -- or whatever the situation is -- then he doesn't play well." Like the drafting of QB Ryan Mallett, this is another move most teams couldn't afford to make because they would run the risk of a Haynesworth blowup derailing the season. Patriots don't have to worry about that.
