Chargers is healthy

It's said that if the Chargers want ot clean their path when they are against Oakland Raiders on Sunday, they need to keep healthy all the way.
Coach Norv Turner was optimistic with the situation .he said that only 3 players not practice on Friday and at least one of them can wear his chargers jersey and play against the Raiders.
with an ankle injury,linebacker Kevin Burnett will be absent at the game.He has not practiced all the week and it's very questionable for him.The same thing happened with Defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo.Tim Dobbins who really did good job last week will replace Burnett.
I like the Chargers.

The Indianapolis Colts are ready

Yes, they are ready.but,but it couldn’t come at a better time.
They spend four of the first six games on the road,including back-to-back trips to Miami and Arizona.
“We knew it would be very tough because it was very unusual,” coach Jim Caldwell said Monday. “We had to deal with different time zones, extensive travel, different weather and the guys did a good job. I think we were well prepared and we adapted very well.”
Actually, the Colts really did a good job.
They are off to their fourth 6-0 start in five seasons, are one of three remaining undefeated teams in the league and can extend their franchise-record winning streak to 16 regular-season games Sunday against San Francisco. Caldwell has matched the best six-game record for a rookie head coach since the 1970 merger, and three-time MVP Peyton Manning(notes) is now on pace for his second season with 40 touchdown passes.But what Indy has done is the most remarkable.Indy has also beaten three division champs from 2008—Miami, Arizona and Tennessee—all on the road. Two of the Colts’ other opponents, Jacksonville and Seattle, reached the divisional round of the playoffs in 2007.
Caldwell adapted by using the training camp schedule to prepare the Colts for their opening stretch and then altering the practice schedule when necessary to keep players fresh.
Colts players will also have some further motivation for winning starting next week:Win and take an extra day off.

Delhomme is on the field cliff neat to the bench

“I still believe Jake is our best quarterback. I have no reason to believe otherwise, truth be told,” Fox said Monday. “But collectively we’ll do whatever it takes for us to improve. What that is I can’t honestly tell you at this second.”
The two badly overthrown interceptions directly led to 14 Buffalo points in the Bills’ 20-9 win which almost a disaster to his career.“Last night I was numb and right now, you watch the film—I’ve watched it three times already today—I think it’s more frustration,” Delhomme said Monday. He has talked to Fox ,but he refused to reveal some details to reporters.
Fox said he cant see the strength of Delhomme's arms , so Moore (Moore started three games as an undrafted rookie in 2007 when Delhomme was recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery. Moore’s only appearance since was when he completed 6 of 11 passes for 63 yards and an interception after Delhomme was benched late in the season opener against Philadelphia.)and Feeley(Feeley has since been scrambling to learn the offense.) are Fox 's next choice.
“I think we need to do what’s going to help us win,” Fox said.

Is it Anderson's fault?

Another game, another round of snaps keeping Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn(notes) from earning $10.9 million in salary escalators. With every Derek Anderson(notes) start, fans can only hope the franchise is going to use some of the money it saves by refunding season tickets.It's said that the Browns are stealing money from fans and trading losses for millions.Thanks to salary escalators in Quinn’s deal, he would stand to earn nearly an additional $11 million in salary in 2010 and 2011 if he plays at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps this season.But with Anderson's performance,Quinn gets further and further from that money.But how can the Browns realistically justify that argument at this point? How can they point to Anderson and say he’s the best shot this team has to win? He has been the worst NFL starter not named JaMarcus Russell this season. someone hold different views:They think neither Anderson nor Quinn has been good. They’ve both turned the ball over too much, and they both struggled against good competition.But Quinn is better than Anderson’s ability to be inaccurate all the time.Anderson needs to go up.

Sometimes we need rules.
