That Lynch run reminded me of this:

The Old Skoolers will probably bow their heads in reverence.
 
Bo Jackson, Eric Dickerson, and Walter Payton were just ridiculous in that game.

And Lawrence Taylor on the defensive end was just as ridiculous too.
 
I am now a fan of Wes Welker. Amazing stuff here.

Just when you think the chatter between the Patriots and Jets couldn’t get sillier, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker stepped to the podium Thursday as if dared to see how many “foot” references he could cram in to a single media session. Behold:

1. On this week of preparation: “Everybody’s putting their best foot forward.”

2. On young players in the playoffs: “You can’t just stick your toe in the water. You gotta jump right in.”

3. On playing this year as opposed to last year: “It’s definitely different. You know, you’ve got your foot up in the air trying to get the swelling to go down. Definitely excited about the opportunity to get out there and have some fun.”

4. On the opportunity this week: “These are the games you play for. What you spend all year getting ready for and you just want to put your best foot forward.”

5. On Revis: “He’s got great feet.”

6. On Revis again: “He’s very patient, has good feet.”

7. On Deion Branch: “He runs some really good routes out there . . . He’s another guy with great feet and can really move around.”

8. On practice: “You want to make sure you’re putting your best foot forward out there and making it happen.”

9. More on practice: “Us going out there and being good little foot soliders and making sure we’re going out there and doing everything coach asks us to do.”

10. On seeing new things in the playoffs: “You definitely have to be on your and make sure you’re ready to go.”

Genius. Since this is clearly the most important post I’ll ever write at PFT, let’s analyze further.

Welker is deadpan as ever with his delivery, so there’s no way he can really be called out for it. A few clues indicate that it’s not just a coincidence. Jackie McMullen of ESPNBoston.com wrote a great feature on Welker. Part of it is about what a huge prankster he is.

“Put Wes, Matt [Cassel] and Larry Izzo in a room, and they are ‘The Three Stooges,’” Tom Brady said.

Welker got his first “foot” reference in on his first question and rarely let up in his ten minutes of talking. He also appears to be stifling a smile and/or laugh after his two most ridiculous references — No. 2 and No. 9.

Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but we really doubt it. And that would be no fun. We’ll continue to update you on this vitally important breaking story here at PFT.

Has your team had a bad season? 4-12 not good enough for you as a fan? Don't worry, the only guy with a worse record this year in the NFL is your new coach!

Arizona+Cardinals+v+Carolina+Panthers+K_SbQb8lYpel.jpg


I hope he really was a lame duck in Carolina like many have claimed.

Fox is a good coach whose team got old.

I've always liked and respected Fox but without looking up his career stats, I feel like his teams have been wildly inconsistent and he's had a few more poor seasons than successful. He had the SB season and 12-4 season where they were the #2 seed two years ago. But he's had four or five poor or mediocre seasons too I think.

His biggest fault was sticking with Delhomme for as long as he did.

I think Fox was in a tough situation there. Delhomme took him to the Super Bowl and he felt some loyalty to him. When that started to fade after a few mediocrea nd oftentimes injury-plagued years, Delhomme played solidly one more year in a 12-4 season.

I forget who it was exactly but Fox also should have booted their offensive coordinator. Was it Henning? Whoever it was, the guy called a God awful game in that 2nd round playoff loss at home to Arizona two years ago. The Panthers had about 2,500 yards rushing that year behind a great offensive line yet the coordinator decided to get cute and let Delhomme throw pass after pass and five (or six?) picks.

Mike McCoy? The Broncos QB coach/assistant OC the past couple years and favorite to retain the job under Fox?

It was the franchise fault for waiting too long to find a Delhomme replacement giving Fox no other options. thought they passed on some pretty good Qb's in the draft, not thinking about the future. Matt Moore? cmon!
