"Ricochet" is my new term for the ability to redirect explosively in the open field...an Attribute which Vereen commands in Spades. As such, it's a NickName that I foresee'm growing into...But I am certainly open to suggestions!!

2 ~ Thanks for the Attaboy on "Uncanny" Danny WoodHead, of whom I raved considerably before he ever played a Down for us, some here may remember!!

I come from the Charlie O Finley & Chris Berman School of EveryBody Should Have a NickName!!

3 ~ I like Petrus, and I am considerably intrigued at the possibility that we have HornSwoggled the Giants a second time in 6 months!!

A ~ The Core Power on the Run Blocking needs a lot of work, mind you.

B ~ He's actually kind of Raw, and his Dexterity ~ Hand Work ~ consequently needs Work, but I've kind'f gotten the idea that that's just the kind'f guy that Dante The Great likes to work with.

C ~ His Core Strength in Pass Blocking is absolutely outstanding.

D ~ If you've got exceptional Core Strength for "Defense" ~ and Petrus most certainly does ~ and if you've got a superior Work Ethic ~ and Petrus most certainly does!! ~ then Dante The Great can help you develop Core Power...for "Attacking."

E ~ I like his Fluidity and Lateral Agility, too, which is essential to success at O Guard, in my Book. He's a former Tight End and Full Back, too, which speaks to'is fundamental Athleticism.

Yeah, I believe that Mad Bill just BamBoozled the Giants a good one.

Good Eye, Brother Mike.

I'm with you on the nicknames principle -- everyone should have one.

It's wonderful that Edelman has shown such amazing progress this last couple of games. When you play the game at his size (or Welker's or Woodhead's) you're going to take some very rough, tough dirty hits. Credit them all -- they've taken them and they just bounce back. They are three tough little b*ggers.

So could we start with a better nickname for Edelman, please? I don't want to go on just shouting JOOLEEE!!! at the screen the next time he makes a great play.

2 ~ "Jumpin" Julian Edelman?? "JitterBug" Julian Edelman?? I've already given "Jettin'" to Jeffrey Demps!!

His ability to slice a defense and cut upfield and putting the hurt on the other team seems pretty special to me.

Of course, since the Jaguars have a "Pocket Hurcules", perhaps Julian could our "Pocket Knife" ?

It's early morning. I need more coffee.
