When Jeff Tedford took over head coaching job for Cal back in 2002, he accepted a position at a school that had actually won just 16 games in the previous 5 years. Now in his seventh year, it’s very simple to forget just how bad the Bears were.

For beginners, he plays together with Nnamdi Asomugha. Now, I would not suggest drafting Asomugha instead of Johnson based on the simple truth that Asomugha is just too good. Asomugha made opposing groups pay in 2006 for unwittingly tossing his method. He snagged eight interceptions that year and ever given that then teams have actually stopped tossing his way. He is the definition of a “shutdown corner”. Shutdown cornerbacks are a rarity to discover on many defenses and offenses avoid them like a guy who has The Swine Flu. That is probably why the Raiders Jerseys tattooed him to a 3-year, $45 million deal this year. However, this exceptionally advantages Johnson’s stock. It just indicates that quarterbacks have to toss his method. The possibilities for Johnson making plays will be practically unrestricted.

From a football point of view the loss is considerable for the Rams. Presently on the lineup there are simply three securities, and in truth just 2, that can play next season for the Rams. Craig Dahl and Darian Stewart both made some plays last season and are clearly going to have to step up much more with the loss of Atogwe. James Butler remains on the lineup, but in truth he will most likely not be a member of the Rams if and when the 2011 season ever gets going.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints – I properly predicted a Saints’ loss last weekend and still have doubts about a Super Bowl return. However, I think John Fox is looking at his last season as Carolina’s coach. Saints win.

All the tears McGwire can shed, all the games that McGwire has actually played, all the words discrediting Canseco’s insurance claims versus McGwire can not be changed, and all the words provided from McGwire under oathe to the Senate can not be erased. As soon as non-steroid use can not be forgotten, and all the fans that supported McGwire’s.
