Man screw the stupid NFL....(knock, knock)...Who is that?...(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)....What the hell? .....(BOOM! CRASH!)....Hey who the hell are you!?!?.....no...NO!...I'm sorry....WAIT!!!...... ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Metroid will no longer be posting here at the Cafe. Take this as a warning and tell your friends bad mouthing the NFL wil lnot be tolerated.
I have the NFLN and I have been following the proceedings as the week has gone by.
On a Michigan note: Henne has looked good and a lot of people are agreeing he has been the best QB out of all of them in the practices this week. Adams and Crable were playing well, but both were injured yesterday.
Guys who are getting highly touted and have looked good:
Lavelle Hawkins Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Sedrick Ellis Keith Rivers Leodis McKelvin Andre Caldwell Dorien Bryant Gosder Cherilus
Guys who haven't looked great:
Jordy Nelson Adarius Bowman JDB Erik Ainge Chauncey Washington Adarius Bownman
Those are just off the top of my head.

Tulane RB Matt Forte is making some money in Mobile this week. The 6-foot-1, 221-pound back is proving to scouts on hand that the nation's second-leading rusher in 2007 is not simply a function of lower-level FBS competition. In fact, he is standing out as the most complete back thus far on the South roster -- and that includes Georgia Tech standout Tashard Choice. Forte is a strong, compact runner who displays good burst through the line of scrimmage. He has soft hands and is very comfortable catching the football. He also shows good instincts and the strength to anchor as a pass-blocker. Outside of Arkansas' Darren McFadden and Illinois' Rashard Mendenhall, Forte could be the highest-rated running back weighing in at 215-plus pounds in a deep 2008 class.

If Forte goes ahead of Stewart, Jones, McFadden, Mendenhall, or even Ray Rice or Jamaal Charles I think it will be a mistake. I'd be very surprised to see him ago above any of the first four I mentioned.
