The End Zone

Another battle in The End Zone!! Let us know who you side with!

1. Who would you start Kevin Kolb or Michael Vick?

kdc: If we're assuming Vick is healthy (& he may not be 100%) then I think I'd still go w/Kolb. He's got the hot hand now. That said, I'd certainly put Vick in for multiple series to scare the defense. Could Philly make it w/a 2 headed QB? I have no idea, but it's certainly an interesting conundrum for coach Andy Reid to noodle over!



Momo: Vick should be the starter and the reason being is the Eagles offensive line is not good. Vick is more mobile than Kolb and now Mike is becoming a very dangerous passer. Teams are starting to respect him as a qb first and a runner second. It’s amazing how studying makes you a better player.


2. Are you buying the new/old LaDanian Tomlinson?

kdc: I'm buying it for now. LT has always been a class guy, so I'm rooting for him. True, he now plays for a team in NY, so that means anything positive is overhyped, but sometimes great players comeback & surprise us all. I'm hoping LT remains that story. If the Jets don't give him too many carries each game, then it looks like he's got a good chance to stay productive. He's certainly young enough.

Momo: I’m cautiously buying for this reason, the Jets o-line is built for a running game. What happen with the Chargers is they went to a pass game first and running the ball was not a priority, plus LT was injured. He looks healthy but if I’m the Jets I would probably watch his workload. This situation is perfect for LT because he has some big bulldozers in front making huge holes for him, I just worry about his body breaking down.

3. The viscious hits on Sunday, think the league acted with a knee jerk response with the fines?

kdc: No, I think they should've suspended all 3 of those guys, apologies or no. Helmet to helmet have been verboten for several years now. I think they've been too weak about it & now have to catch up. It kind of reminds me of the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction." If the NFL hadn't allowed the halftime show to celebrate smut to begin with (Nelly was slithering around singing "it's hot in here" earlier in that sequence), then there never would've been the

Momo: I disagree with you on this. Merriweather should have been the only one suspended because he hit a defense receiver like a missile and launched himself into Heap. The NFL is completely overreacting to the other hits. I think what everyone is missing is what Steve Young said about quarterbacks and defense’s today. The league has a lot of young quarterbacks who put their receivers in harm’s way and the exotic defense schemes make it tough for the quarterbacks to know what is going on. Then the qb throws the ball up for grabs instead of throwing it away and their receivers get punished. When did it become uncool to throw the ball away and fight another down.

4. The AFC South is a surprise division where everyone is within a game of each other. The winner of the AFC South is….

Momo: The Tennessee Titans. With the Colts facing injuries at key spots, I like the continuity that the Titans have. Vince Young is making plays with his feet and arms. Chris Johnson is a home run waiting to happen on any play. The Titans defense is a bunch of nobody’s that play sound tough football, which is just the way Jeff Fisher likes it. They keep games close and find different ways to beat you.

kdc: What kind of question is this? There are only 2 possible choices, as Jacksonville is already out of it & Houston is woefully inconsistent. But you can't choose against the Colts until the Colts tank (which may not be too many years away, but not 2010). Yes, the injuries are many, but just a couple years ago Peyton Manning literally willed his entire team into the playoffs. They promptly lost, but they weren't supposed to be there. Maybe they shouldn't be there again this year, but they will - & it'll be as division leader, not wild card.
