the leading tacklers in the NFL are NaVorro Bowman and Sean Lee. They played with each other at Penn St. and were drafted in the same year. RIP Linebacker U lol

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Texans HC Gary Kubiak on LB Brian Cushing: "It's what we thought. He tore his ACL and we lost him for the year."

Just saw on NFLN that Alex Karras, passed away from kidney failure.
I checked the website, but no link yet ...

Update:
"Karras had been suffering from dementia. He was among the more than 3,500 NFL players
suing the league regarding the treatment of head injuries"

Braylon Edwards with perhaps a veiled jab at the 9ers? Or is he truly speaking his mind solely about Seattles offensive philosophy?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000080873/article/russell-wilson-the-right-decision-by-seattle-seahawks?module=HP11_headline_stack

"We can't go back to throwing the ball 15 times a game,"Seahawks wide receiver Braylon Edwards told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "It's a new NFL. You have to attack through the air. I mean, we can throw it and run it."

I know he is being asked about the Flynn versus Wilson battle but its an interesting choice of words. I think he is just talking seattle but its interesting to have it coincidently come from him after he became disinterested in our style of play.

With Williams making 45 million you would have to trade me a 1st round pick to take him. Panthers made a big mistake in signing both to big deals. I would have chose Stewart and even then I probably wouldn't have signed him to that big of a deal. RBs come and go...Those guys aren't what they were a few years back either. They have many other areas they can put that money towards.

And side note thinking about the playoffs if everything keeps going like it is now it will be brutal to get through the NFC. Falcons, Bears, Giants, 9ers, Packers and then there could even be a dangerous team at the 6 spot (TB, Det, Philly, Seattle, Minn, etc).

Falcons get the bye and lose at home
Giants play at home and get KO'd
