so true.

At P-Willie with the 5 yr extension

Hopefully Pac has somethin left in the tank. With David Jones and Morgan Trent batlling for the third corner spot, this isn't a bad move.

Pac

I don't see Pac doing much but worth giving him a shot for Cincy

Philadelphia Eagles beat reporter Geoff Mosher connected some dots Tuesday morning and came to the conclusion that the team is "still in the market for another defensive tackle." We've all heard the rumors of Albert Haynesworth being offered to them before the draft as part of the Donovan McNabb trade, but now it appears as though they're going to troll the waters of free agency.

Among those still available, former Jacksonville Jaguars DT John Henderson is probably the best option. (Here's a look back at the teams previously linked to Henderson.) After that, it gets pretty ugly. One mitigating factor against the Eagles signing Henderson is the DT's age (he turned 31 in January), but if the team is still looking for help, he could be their only hope.

We checked in with a few of our own reporters, but there hasn't been a definitive peep out of the Henderson camp just yet. More to come. As for Henderson's fit with the Eagles, we asked Bill Barnwell of the Football Outsiders for his take:

[h5]Football Outsiders[/h5]
This one makes sense

"Jacksonville ranked seventh against the run in DVOA last year, and Henderson -- who started 15 games -- was one of the main reasons why. The fact that they chose to 'fix' their effective run defense in the draft and not a pass defense that ranked 31st in DVOA is puzzling, but it's not Henderson's fault. He's slipped some from the Pro Bowler of 2004 and 2006, but he'd get a boost from playing fewer snaps and alongside more talent up front. Philadelphia already has two excellent defensive tackles in Brodrick Bunkley and Mike Patterson, but bringing in Henderson to compete with 2008 second-rounder Trevor Laws for the third defensive tackle spot could net them an impact situational player on the cheap." - Bill Barnwell

[h1]Mel Kiper's first 2011 Big Board[/h1][h3]

[h3]A trio of quarterbacks dot the top 10 of the first 2011 Big Board[/h3]
By Mel Kiper
ESPN.com
 

A little perspective to start. Last year, back before any games in the college season had even been played, my first Big Board came out. Looking back, six of the players in that top 10 actually went in the top 10 of the recent draft. A few guys fell for various reasons. Whether it was Carlos Dunlap's judgement, a really odd interview process for Dez Bryant, or simply bad tape for Taylor Mays, some guys didn't remain that high. It happens every year.

But others, like Sam Bradford (No. 1), Ndamukong Suh (No. 5), Eric Berry (No. 2) and Gerald McCoy (No. 4) I liked early, and personnel folks clearly saw the same tape. So as I release the first Big Board for this year, know I always do it with a mixture of confidence, but also an assumption that I'll be wrong. Be it through injuries, lack of growth, off-the-field stuff, or just a desire to return to college -- I liked Bradford two years ago, too -- this is sure to change. Because of that, I also added a note about players I see as quite volatile in terms of this list.

But while there's a lot of time for the stories to be written, here's a first look at the players already in focus for next year's draft. Remember, this is not about draft position. This is about value. Don't confuse the two. I should also note: current size measurements are what I have from my sources on a guy. They are not official -- and in some cases, will even change as the weight room factors in this summer. (Asterisk denotes junior or redshirt junior.)

of course


some wilder stuff...
Eric Berry will have his own model Camaro

VPI partnered with National Speed Inc., of Wilmington, N.C., to build the prototype 1,200-horsepower, signature-edition "NZ1200 EB Edition Camaro," which will be available to others who want to drive what Berry drives.
"What (National Speed) does is take a new Camaro SS and pull the engine, transmission, brakes and suspension and make it into the EB Edition with 1,200 horsepower," said Cullop.

"It will have a three-way toggle switch. If you have it in the cruise mode it will be like driving a V-6 Honda Accord. You'll get 30 miles per gallon and have an everyday car to drive. In the middle-position mode, you'll still get great gas mileage but you've got 900 horsepower.

"If you want to flip the switch all the way, you get all 1,200 horsepower. You're talking about a very expensive modification that will probably be between $120,000 and $150,000."

Cullop said that National Speed will donate at least $10,000 to the Eric Berry Foundation for each person who has their Camaro SS tricked-out into an EB Edition.

Cullop said that National Speed Inc., just began work on Berry's personal EB Edition Camaro this week.

Gunna going to be camping outside the dealership the night before release for one of those bad boys.









In all seriousness, we all know he is going to buy one.

1,200 HP?

This should be a great QB class...I'm hoping the 49ers can trade up and get Locker, Luck, or Mallett
