Some intertesting headlines from Sporting News

I found a few interesting blurbs in the magazine (thanks Diesel Fan), that I wanted to share.

First of all it says that the reason the franchise found it unnecessary to draft a WR is because Jacobs is looking pretty darn good and fast in off season work outs. To me that makes sense. He had potential and without the bruised spleen it could have been him at number 1, instead of Coles last year.

Second thing of interest is it says "Cornelius Griffin is a force; Brandon Noble has good run-stopping ability." I'm glad to see Noble get national recogniation and the same with Griffin. Griffin should have been at the pro bowl last year. And Noble is a force to be reckoned with. Our Defense has some great players and they are all only going to get better the longer they play together.

I hope that's true about Jacobs. But it has the ring of PR. As for him beating out Coles, why didn't it happen last year?

So, anything that might be positive is "PR" and anything that is negative is the truth?

I know Jacobs will shine.

He runs good routes, has soft hands, and is great at running after the catch.

I don't think we needed to even sign Patten, however he is still a nice addition and a team player.

noble is just a blue class worker, he can be pushed around easily, he was never that quick to begin with but the injury seems to have slowed him even more.
