Odds and Ends

You probably saw that McDougle was signed to the defensive line when the Eagles cut him. Refreshing everyone's memory, the Giants liked him in 2003, but when he went before our pick, we were left to pick William Joseph. Both guys have been mostly invisible in the NFL, so the gmen are taking another stab at the Miami Draft of 2003.

Coleman is correct- Whimper was put on IR, not cut. Thanks.

Wonder was telling us a while back (August 15th, #11) that the Jets are loaded at TE, that they should pick up Pociask if he gets cut, because it is all about #s in that situation, not ability. Well, it took all of a day or so for the Pats to grab him off waivers.

We avoided the Burress soap opera as long as possible... so it should not shock completely that he is getting into game shape as the first game of the season rolls around. He has gone through three complete practices and has gone at 'full speed' for one. Manning to Burress is the biggest connection in the NFL over the last 3 years, so this is what we needed to see.

QB Andre Woodson, OL Na'Shan Goddard, OL Kurt Quarterman, DE Wallace Gilberry, DT Jeremy Clark, CB Geoffrey Pope and WR Marcus Monk were signed to the practice squad.
