Goose's NFL OffSeason and Draft Predictions
So it seemed the Lodge was dead...and i wasn't even checking it daily until Train sent me a message about the resurgence. Now it looks like the flat lining Lodge may have a pulse, and being the resident Lodge Ball coach I figure we needed a little Football just before the draft. Lets also address some Off Season Football news as well1. Jay Cutler. The trade itself will probably work out for all teams. Denver gets Three high draft picks and Chicago gets its 1st established QB since Sid Luckman. On a side note to Jay Cutler...quit your bitchin and whining, answer your F'n phone when your coach and GM calls, realize that you have only 1 of 32 NFL Starting QB Jobs this year and stop acting like a god damn prima donna. They explored other option. Big deal. Wait till your ass gets boo'd in the Windy city (Where you have no WR's...by the way)
2) TO to Buffalo. Hopefully the last stop in this Pain in the Ass career. Will teams PLEASE stop signing him?
3)Matt Cassell to KC. Man beware of this KC team in a year or 2....they could be REALLY good.
4) The 100 million dollar man....Albert Haynesworth. So on the 1st hour of FA in 2009, the skins sign Big Al to a 7 year 100million dollar contract. I as much as anyone value a big run stuffing DT more than anyone, I foresee three injury plagued years and a huge 2014 cap hit to the Skins when Al is released.
5) Corey Dillion Part 2. Fred Taylor is in New England...and he's pissed.
Now on to Goose's 2009 Mock DraftI'll list TOP 5...then go over some general things to look out for in the draft
1- Detroit Lions: Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia
2- St. Louis Rams: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
3- Kansas City Chiefs: Aaron Curry, ILB, Wake Forest
4- Seattle Seahawks: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
5- Cleveland Browns: Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas
Lets talk Seahawks. 1st. I could potentially see the Hawks trading out of #4. Look for the Redskins to try to move into the top 8 to draft Mark Sanchez. If the Hawks do trade down, look for them to draft OT/OG. Then look at QB in Round 2 or 3. Also look for them to take a high choice for a BIG Cornerback. If the Hawks stay at #4. I think they take either Monroe or Smith...the top 2 OT's. Funny thing there is 5 or 6 mock drafts I saw and none of them show the Hawks taking the same player. Crabtree , Orakpo, Sanchez were all predicted picks. My choice if he falls past #3 would be to draft Aaron Curry. The man is a monster at LB. They could still end up with Sanchez...but I have my doubts.
Denver- may be one of those teams looking to move up if Sanchez drops around the 8-9 spot. If not look for Denver to draft defense. Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU or B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College.
Dallas - Dallas traded its #1 to Detroit in the Roy Williams Trade. They will have a hard time rebuilding this year after that trade, losing 1st and third rd choices.
Its nice to see the Lodge making a comeback. For those of you interested. I am looking for some new coaches over at Newport. Start putting your Football knowledge to good use.

Jim McMahon doesn't count as an established QB? The Superbowl Shuffle, an eye-patch, and bandannas are involved in his legacy, for crap's sake!
I'm content with a Mark Sanchez pick, if only for Train's sake in finally having a non-placekicker NFL player to root for that share's his Mexican ethnic roots. But I do think he's the best QB in the draft and that Stafford is overrated.
That said, I agree if Aaron Curry falls then it's a no-brainer and they should draft Curry to fill a starting LB position of need. I'm excited though!
I just read on ESPN: "John Clayton says Seattle will likely take Michael Crabtree over Mark Sanchez because Matt Hasselbeck has at least a couple of years left and they want to keep him happy."
I think Crabtree is probably the best player in the draft...however Im learly of a guy who just took off his protective boot...lets hope Timmy does his homework
We have 4 picks in the top 48 we should do well. Plus, your Mr. Snyder is going to go all in for the Dirty Sanchez.
I'd love to see Denver get The Dirty one but our Defense needs an overhaul. I want T. Jackson from LSU and then pick up one of the USC backers.
I have to agree with The Lodge Ball Coaches assesment of Jay Culter. He can't have it both ways. You can't demand a trade after Shanahann is let go. Then find out your being offered up later in the offseason and whine about it. I'll miss him, but there is a new man in the Rocky mountain state and he doesn't need his spleen to play! Now that's dedication.
#1 Good to have Mother f'n Goose back in this
#2 Good to have Mother f'n Goose back in this
#3 Jay Cuts...regardless of what happened in the Donkey backroom, here are the facts: Age: 25/26 Pro Bowls: 1 in Top 1/3 of NFL QB's: Affirmative, times you could say this about a Chicago Bear/Denver Bronco (w/o last name Elway)? 0
I understand that he's moving away from Marshall and Royal...but he's also getting about the same level line (maybe a little better on the run block)Devin Hester (at this point a slightly less refined, but more athletically gifted Royal)Greg Olsen at TE, and more importantly...Tulane's own Matt Forte...is that offense going to lead the league, no...but it'll reduce the number of minutes for one of the top 5 D's in the league...
Denver? well you have draft picks and a rookie HC, who so far doesn't appear to have a grasp on the job...in 3 years or earlier this might all work out in the Donkey's favor, but as it stands now...they gave the Midway a much clearer path to the playoffs
Rest of the draft? Hawks have to be trying to deal #4 and if they don't they're trying to play the smoke-screen game to get Curry, who is the only natural fit for the team...if not on Curry, the Baylor-grad and natural Ruskell-character guy Jason Smith is a solid pick, even if he doesn't have a starting spot next year...to put him behind Lock and Uncle Walt would only help his cause in the upcoming years
Crab/Dirty San? not even top 20 picks if this is last years draft...
Crab - undisciplined route runner that is going to need a good/great QB and a free flowing system to operate in (see New Orleans, Cincy, Miami, etc...basically a NON-west coast offense) other drawbacks include lack of break away speed and height = lots of ? marks...this isn't a Randy Moss situation were the character issues masked the physical gifts...I don't think the physical gits make this guy a #1 receiver, therefore hard to justify a top ten...
Dirty-San - as much as I'd like to have a 'Sanchez' at QB in the NFL...just not sure how this works?limited resume: check, lack of height: check, USC making average players look phenomenal: check...this is obviously my Trojan bias, but I don't see this working. That being said...I sure hope that Snyder mortgages the next 5 years of draft picks to get this guy
The NFL draft...where Alex Smith was once a #1 draft pick...
I think the Hawks did a great job hiding their true intention. I think the trade for Unger did a great job setting up next year as well. If Hasslebeck is on the decline, they have the ability to draft a QB late in the first round. I wondering if the Hawks get a cutback from promoting Sanchez up the draft board. Who's hand do you shake when you get that WR Bey to the Raiders...
Again - nice job Hawks! Thanks for not getting Sanchez...
Gaming has truly become a hobby for anyone with interests that run the full gamut. Online Games are a great way to just have some fun and relax once in awhile. The following paragraphs have some really good ideas regarding online gaming, so pay attention!
Take a few breaks when you start playing a game that you're not able to step away from easily. Online Games are addicting and can damage your overall health. Playing a game should remain fun and light-hearted. Think you're addicted? Seek help.
Pricing is a very important factor to consider when shopping for games. Price is not a good indication of the value of a game. When selecting a new game title, read the information on the back to become more educated about the product. You have nothing to lose by checking out online reviews as well, before purchasing them. Don't buy it if you aren't confident you'll like it.
Limit cheat codes for games requiring skill to play. This is something that you will want to avoid, as it defeats the purpose of the game itself. Some cheats can ruin your whole game but sports related codes are the exception - they enhance the experience.
When the gaming industry moves ahead, so do the gamers. Gamers expect low prices, instant access, and a large selection. When a new game releases, try waiting a few months. The prices of online games periodically get slashed as games loose their newness factor.
Downloadable content (DLC) is available from many popular video games. Those are bells and whistles at an extra cost. Pay attention to the price tag before you buy. Some times buying DLC games can be two to three times more expensive than a single game.
Keep your children safe in terms of online gaming. Pay attention to the people they play with. Some people use online gaming in order to manipulate young children. It is important to protect kids when they are gaming online by being aware of whom they are playing with.
There are many types of computer game consoles. There are several factors to consider before you choose which gaming system is right for you. First, find out if one system carries more titles that your child enjoys. Then, check out the memory capacity. Often, you can download additional content, which can quickly overwhelm a xbox with a small amount of memory. Your games wii must have sufficient memory to cover this.
The cost of a game is an important part of your purchase decision. Just because a game is expensive, doesn't necessarily mean it's the best one for you. Read game descriptions carefully to help you make a solid game buying decision. In addition, you should check out online reviews. Avoid buying something when you have doubts or not completely sure about it.
If possible, try games out before you buy them at your local library. Most public libraries offer video games that can be checked out for free. The library usually has game titles for all different systems, so simply call ahead and see if they have the title you want.
Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.
The world of video games gets bigger and better over time. But there are many choices to make where gaming is involved. This article has helpful advice for both players and parents. Follow the ideas presented here to learn how to choose and purchase computer games with confidence.
