They already have those 30-40 touches during pre-season.. Not to mention all the practices and stuff

5) Chuck Noll (?)

Of them, I think that Parcells is crass enough to throw LdT under the bus..

Parcells isn't a GM. He is the President, but he has a GM serving under him.

Haven't Jets fans been telling us Shonn Greene is the workhorse and feature back at the Jets with Mr Classy washed up hack the creme de la creme cherry on top sexy finisher? I guess Sexy Rexy disagrees...... good to know your own team.

If Rex truly believes that and it isn't just offseason coaching fodder where every player is the best player they ever saw or is bound for a breakout year, is that a ringing endorsement of Tomlinson or signs that Ryan is concerned about Greene's ability to carry the rock 25-30 times a game.

I think the Jets have really hurt their running game with the release of Jones. This was a stupid move by the fat piece of *****. Also, it did not sit well in the clubhouse, where Jones was a very popular teammate.
How many backs ran for more yards last year than Jones' 1406? The answer is 2. Chris Johnson and Steven Jackson. That's it!!
Their running game has regressed which means more pressure and responsibility will be put on Sanchez's shoulders. EXCELLENT!!!

I think it's more likely to be Pioli. I think I remember reading where he could be quite a trash talker. Plus KC was a division rival of LdT's former team. Then again Parcells is...whatever it is he is, in Miami and that is a div rival of LdT's current team.
IDK - Maybe it's just as likely more than more likely.

Even typing this feels like a slippery slope.

When did Newsome get a ring? He became GM in 2002, two years after they won. As a player, he played for Cleveland. 'nuf said. I too believe it likely was Parcells...

Neither is Holmgren, he's a president, and he won his 1 ring as a HC in GB. He was defacto GM in Seattle but didn't win anything before losing that title. And Ozzie only has 1 ring and he won it as a VP of Player personnel on another GM's watch. He wasn't named GM in Baltimore until 2002. And he never won one earlier since he was a player and then joined BB in the front office in Cleveland. I doubt Chuck Noll still gets access to film...

That leaves Pioli...who remains popular with the NY media since his Giants days (which is why they were positive he would take the Giants as his dream job had Coughlin gotten canned as often as predicted...).

Talking football is talking football, regardless of the "team" of the message board. Do you refuse to talk football with fans of other teams when you're in person?
