Week 4, 2010: Arizona Cardinals @ San Diego Chargers
Sep 30th
Shawn Merriman
Week 4 sees the Arizona Cardinals (2-1) travel to San Diego to take on the Chargers (1-2). That record means that the Chargers are currently propping up the AFC West, a position that they are not used to at all.
The Chargers have been struggling on special teams (actually, that’s an understatement) and gave up two kick-off returns against the Seahawks with Leon Washington returning kicks for 99 and 101 yards. This is on top of Dexter McCluster’s runback in week one that was a factor in them losing to the Chiefs in week 1.
More Free Agency Moves and Signings
Mar 15th
To start with we’re back to New York. Less than a week after releasing Thomas Jones (who has since signed with the Cheifs) the Jets have added LaDanian Tomlinson to the line-up. He’s got a fair deal to be a backup and although I think Jones was a better option, they’ve got LDT for a lot less than Jones was due. It would essentially be a crime not to use this as an excuse to post Electric Glide as unlike running backs that never gets old.
Carrying on with aging running backs, Larry Johnson is now a Redskin. He’s signed a surprisingly sensible 3 year deal that makes things interesting and has certainly improved the squad. If we can sort the line out, we might be able to actually make some yards now. Will Montgomery has resigned in this area.
Johnson has 2 years on Portis, but considerably less mileage. Hopefully he can contribute.

Minnisota Vikings
Sorry, more Brett Favre news. Get used to it though it looks set to continue for the season, and probably for the next phase of his retirement.
Favre Said - “I may not finish the year. If you would have asked me my first year if I would finish I’d have said, ‘I may not,”’ Favre said. “No one thought I’d play 18 straight years without missing a game, me included. I have no idea what’s going to happen. ”
Not really big news, he ‘might’ get injured; he ‘might’ have a week off? It made the headlines though, so I am just passing it on.
Tuesday’s NFL News Round-up

It looks like it is quarterback news day today…
Detroit Lions
This is the news I was itching to see – Matthew Stafford is the Lions starting quarterback. It’s not that I have anything against Daunte Culpepper, it’s just that on a personal level I want to see what Stafford can do and how he progresses through the season.
From the Lions point of view I think it is the right choice. It is a symbol of a fresh start, and that is something the whole of Detroit need right now. 2008 saw the team and the citys biggest industry on its knees.
I am very tempted to pick a Lions win in this weeks predictions, but I think that is coming more from the heart than the head.

So Far In Pre-Season: Quarterbacks
Aug 18th
This is more of a digest than a full article, as the first week is out of the way and there have been a mixture of expected and interesting scores. None of which we’re particularly interested in at this point.
However, a lot of QBs from starter to third string and beyond got some playtime under their belts. Let’s see how the starters and positional battles are shaping up…
