Around SBN: UFC 146 Predictions

Horse Tracks 3/25/09

Horsetracks_new_medium

DP - Brandon Marshall can only wait for the Commish to decide his fate. Apparently, the convicted drug dealer in PA merely had a conversation with Correll Buckhalter and never sold him drugs. This is according to said convicted drug dealer...but we can be hopeful. Tony Scheffler is back with the team - seems he just wanted to break his streak of getting hurt on the first day of OTAs. Well, there's another overblown story. McDaniels says the running game will be a mix of the zone-block and gap schemes.

DP - McDaniels says there are several candidates to play NT within a 3-4 for Denver. Meanwhile, it sounds like Elvis Dumervil will be fulfilling the good old elephant role.

SI - Don Banks gave his thoughts on the McDaniels press conference. It's well-written and worth a read.

DP - According to Klis, McDaniels and Cutler were scheduled to speak one-one-one via phone last night. No word on whether the conversation occurred.

PDN - More on the Buckhalter story from Philly.

NFL - Finally, the Cutler situation is being painted as one which can be resolved at NFLN.

TSN - UPDATE 9:48AM EST - Albert Breer over at the Sporting News provides a rational look at the Cutler situation.

NFL - Breaking news!!! Peter King says (again) that Jay Cutler will not be traded anytime soon. Whew! Thanks, PK!

NFL - Charlie Casserly explains how he would go about pestering the Broncos to trade Cutler. And then, if you can stand it, listen to Marshall Faulk and Jamie Dukes theorize on how to placate Cutler in Denver. Or, do yourself a favor and stop the video after Casserly is done - I already watched that garbage for you. Okay?

NFL - The NFL unveiled the 50th Anniversary AFL uniforms. You'll never guess whose jersey Josh McDaniels was posing with...

DP - Krieger writes about the supposed/pending phone conversation. Ugh.

FOX - Mark Kriegel makes a big deal out of McDaniels referring to Cutler as "the player."

CBS - More on Cutler and McDaniels from Pete Prisco. Again, I read it so you don't have to...

IN - Sam Adams writes about possible trade destinations. Sam, you're about a week or two late on this one...

Star-divide

NFL - The NFL owners passed four new rules yesterday to turn the NFL into the Arena League protect players.

NFL - The pedestrian who was struck and killed by the car driven by Donte' Stallworth was not in the crosswalk, according to the police report. Toxicology reports on Stallworth have still not been released, despite what sources reported last week.

KCS - Todd Haley is pleased with Matt Cassel's work ethic.

KCS - Tony Gonzalez says he's equally fine staying with the Chefs or going. Meanwhile, a source close to Gonzalez is saying otherwise.

SDUT - Norv Turner says a larger role for Darren Sproles will help keep LDT fresh in '09.

SFC - Sounds like Tom Cable thinks JaMarcus Russell needs to work a little harder.

Y! - Patriots owner Robert Kraft says there's room in New England for Jason Taylor.

NFL - Eric Mangini says the QB position in Cleveland is up for grabs. He was referring to Brady Quinn and Derek Andersen, so try not to flip out.

Y! - Meanwhile, supposedly disgrunted DT Shaun Rogers is working out with the Browns at OTAs. See? Happy endings really do happen, Jay! Jay? Jay?!?!?!

Y! - The Colts have signed free-agent LB Adam Seward, while cutting RB Clifton Dawson.

NFP - Matt Bowen explains what would be problematic with expanding the NFL's regular season.

NFL - Pat Kirwan, you are the man. Kirwan lists his top twelve items of interest at the Owner's Meetings, and none of them involve a quarterback whose name starts with "J" and ends with "ay Cutler."

NFL - Old friend Wade Phillips is still the Head Coach of the Cowboys and has Jerry Jones' support. See, Jay?

NFP - Mike Lombardi poses his five questions of each NFC West team.

NFP - Wes Bunting focuses on the three-cone drill.

Y! - Here's Mike Silver's Tuesday column. Try to skip over the emails...

Please read Krieger's article

He wrote the best article of the day. And you put it tenth down on the list, with a description that made it sound useless.
Why is it that articles making Jay look immature get perpetuated here, but an article showing how McDaniels goes about alienating his quarterback gets buried? Coach McD’s calculated, I’m committed/not committed responses do not sit well with me. And it’s obvious why Jay thinks getting out now might be the best option for his career. I don’t think he wants to play quarterback while always waiting for the “other shoe” (trade) to drop. This coaching mentality undermines Jay’s leadership position, and I think we should all support our incumbent quarterback of the last 3 years a little more.
I just hope McD can give Jay a little more committment in their private conversations.

And as always, thanks for for putting all this info together for us nyc, even if I sound a little critical.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 8:15 AM MDT reply actions  

My problem...

is that I think Krieger misrepresents what McDaniels said yesterday. I watched the video, and there was nothing confusing about it for me – not one bit. But Krieger writes, “But now that I’ve listened to McDaniels’ assurances, I’m not sure what he means, either.” McDaniels made it pretty clear that he wants/expects Cutler to be in a Broncos uniform. Not “guaranteeing” anything emphasizes the point that he is the boss, not Cutler. If McDaniels shows himself to be less important or less powerful than Cutler before they even get to training camp, what kind of message does that send to the rest of the players? What kind of respect can McDaniels command if the 25-year-old QB is running the show?

by Douglas A. Lee on Mar 25, 2009 8:38 AM MDT up reply actions  

I agree NYC, and I am not sure what you are getting at Hack....

This is Kreiger continuing to put a negative spin on things regradless of what McD has said. Jedi is damend if he does and damned if he doesn’t……especially with guys like Kreiger and Woody Blowhard.
There is no BALANCED reporting from eithr of these guys.
As I have said before, lets not over inflate the value of Jay Cutler. he is a 3rd year QB with a losing record that choked coming down the straight.
Do I want him as our QB? Straight up I so. I love the potential, but he should be playing for his NFL life, not making demands. He has proven nothing yet to support those demands, and guys like Woody and Krieger buying into that only proves the lack of knowledge and balance they bring.

by boydy2669 on Mar 25, 2009 8:43 AM MDT up reply actions  

Well

While I do not agree with evrything Boydy says(Jay has proven plenty to me), I do agree that Jay needs to step up and show up. After everything I have heard here over the last couple of days I believe that this is very close to a resolution and that after all is said and done the msm people are going to have to eat their words. Your were right from the beginning Boydy(and others) that this thing was just plain overblown.

No thank you

For helping me realize that there is no need to freak out everytime I hear a story like that. If you were to go back and read all my posts i went from freaking out like swag to taking a whole new perspective on the way the media plays these things. I owe this to people like you and styg and spock and guru(and countless others) who helped me to take a much more in depth look at the issues without flying off the handle like I was prone to do. So thanks to everyone this has been a lesson learned for me.
And by the way thank you NYC for horse tracks I start every morning with it and its fantastic.

by broncosorbust on Mar 25, 2009 9:46 AM MDT up reply actions  

I'm getting at...

…that I watched the video of McD and was bugged by it. Then I read Krieger’s article and he said exactly what I was thinking. I’m not looking for balance from these guys, they are paid to give their OPINION. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t…today I did.
And could we agree that Jay’s losing record, has more to do with the team than him? The guy is 13-1 when the opposition is held under 21 points. That’s a significant stat. When the defense does their job, he does his.
Also, I don’t see him making demands, I see him asking for a little loyalty. And when 10+ teams are looking to acquire him, he certainly has no threat to his NFL life.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 12:32 PM MDT up reply actions  

The most interestnig part of the Krieger article
By the way, those mandatory team activities are not as soon as you might think.

“Each club is permitted one mandatory mini-camp, which is a maximum of three days long,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora confirmed the other day. “Also, teams with new head coaches may hold two additional voluntary minicamps.”

Emphasis on the “voluntary.” I’m told the Broncos have set aside dates for six mini-camps, including the first one, April 17-19, when it has been presumed Cutler would have to report. I’m also told their mandatory camp is June 12-14, the last one. That’s customary because teams like to get their rosters together before training camp begins.

Cutler won’t be violating any rule or contract provision if he reports for the first time on June 12.

by MattR on Mar 25, 2009 9:53 AM MDT up reply actions  

Cook has said that Cutler will attend

the April 17-19 minicamp. And while they are “technically” voluntary he has a bonus ($100K) based on attendance.

by SlowWhiteGuy on Mar 25, 2009 10:07 AM MDT up reply actions  

That is what I heard as well

But I had also thought it was mandatory. I don’t think it changes anything, but I was surprised to read it. Seems like the kind of the thing that reporters should have clarified before now

by MattR on Mar 25, 2009 10:12 AM MDT up reply actions  

It's a fine line...

…between making it look like your 25 year old qb runs the show, and undermining his leadership. I agree that he can’t label Cutler “untradeable”. But Cutler won’t play for this guy if he thinks he’s always being shopped, and I don’t see the rest of the team being able to follow a qb that they think is always being shopped. And McD’s comments say he’s committed to Jay today, but nobody can predict tomorrow. That’s not the commitment I’m looking for from my coach to give my quarterback. It’s gonna take more. If that can happen privately…great! But it needs to happen, or I don’t think this relationship will ever benefit the Denver Broncos. And that would be unfortunate for us fans.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 12:16 PM MDT up reply actions  

Well...

You say “always being shopped” but do you think he was ever shopped at all?

by Douglas A. Lee on Mar 25, 2009 12:49 PM MDT up reply actions  

Certainly

I think McDaniels has admitted making the effort to get Cassel, even though it was late, and then was dishonest with Jay. Don’t get me wrong, he has no obligation to tell Jay anything regarding a trade, be it the truth or a lie, but for the sake of their relationship, I think McD now has to do more to help Jay and the rest of the team feel secure that Jay will be the quarterback now AND in the future for this team.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 1:02 PM MDT up reply actions  

But that’s not “shopping” – shopping is calling teams and saying “Hey, we’re looking to trade Jay Cutler. Any interest?”

by Douglas A. Lee on Mar 25, 2009 1:08 PM MDT up reply actions  

Well now...

…we’re getting into semantics. I don’t know what they are doing. But Jay feels like they are looking for a better option at qb. And a face to face meeting with McXanders only increased his view of that. So I’m saying that if they really want to commit to him as the quarterback, then it will take a lot more than “I can’t predict the future.”

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 2:11 PM MDT up reply actions  

But

Isn’t this whole thing about semantics, and for everyone involved?

by Douglas A. Lee on Mar 25, 2009 2:13 PM MDT up reply actions  

I agree with that

But the bottom line is that McD sent the message that he wanted a different QB. It doesn’t matter what the intention was, or how he did it…he sent the message. And he’s gonna have to do what it takes to overcome the huge ? he now put over this team. And for me, his latest comments sound like he’s committed to Jay Cutler…until he’s not. And it could all change tomorrow. I think he can give a little more than that to the quarterback that a high percentage of the league covets.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 2:45 PM MDT up reply actions  

I agree with Jedi...NO ONE is untradable....NO ONE...

Remember, The Pats seriously considered keeping Cassel and trading Brady….but, Brady recovered quicxkly and Jedi left.
Now, anyone who thinks that Jay is better than Tom Brady and more untradable, they need to stop smloking the gear!

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

by boydy2669 on Mar 25, 2009 2:55 PM MDT up reply actions  

Trade Brady?

I don’t remember hearing about Brady trade rumors. They wanted to keep Cassel as insurance in case Brady’s injury didn’t heal correctly. But not to replace Brady forever. And to that point, in my opinion, a 30 year old quarterback with a torn-up knee is not as valuable as a 25 year old quarterback coming off a pro-bowl year.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 3:14 PM MDT up reply actions  

Do you really believe that

If it is true lets trade for Brady then. McD has shown what he can do with Brady and Brady put together a season for the ages working w/ McD. Your statement pretty much proves that a healthy Brady is untradable (they seriously considered trading Brady until he got healthy)
If my boss came into today and said you are my employee today, but who knows what will happen in the future. I would polish off my resume, do a little networking in my industry and start watching listings. McD is trying to make a point but doing so in a clumsy manner that is hurting his team and his ability to achieve his goals. He is saying this is a business and I’ll trade you if it will make the team better. Jay is saying touche, this is a business and I will use whatever leverage I have to protect my business interests.

by AKfan on Mar 25, 2009 3:42 PM MDT up reply actions  

No he didn't

That’s how they, and you, CHOOSE to interpret the team merely listening to a proposal- as a “message” that he wanted a different QB.

All that happened was that someone called, and they listened. How Cutler/Cook chose to interpret that event is their choice, just as it’s your choice to interpret that event in the same way.

Myself and others see that event merely as the regular business that is the NFL that occurs all the time, and that it’s nothing to get excited over.

by AllBroncsallday on Mar 25, 2009 3:14 PM MDT up reply actions  

Did you miss this

Jay Cutler:
"I went in there with every intention of solving the issue, being a Bronco, moving forward as a Bronco. We weren’t in there but about 20 minutes, (McDaniels) did most of the talking, and as far as I’m concerned, he made it clear he wants his own guy. He admitted he wanted Matt Cassel because he said he has raised him up from the ground as a quarterback. He said he wasn’t sorry about it.

Josh McDaniels:
"We were contacted multiple times about different scenarios. Some of the scenarios we discussed, and we did take part in those conversations. Obviously, the trade went through with another team. We moved on.

I don’t know how else I can CHOOSE to interpret that. Again, that is more than listening to a phone call. But don’t bother with all those details. It’s much easier to assume Cutler is a baby.

by HACK10 on Mar 25, 2009 3:30 PM MDT up reply actions  

I'm not assuming anything

And when did I ever accuse Cutler of being a baby? Don’t put words into my mouth, please.

Again, you’re adding meaning (interpreting), and so is Cutler. This quote of his is nothing more than his feelings about what was said- that’s adding meaning where it may not exist.

“…as far as I’m concerned, he made it clear he wants his own guy.”

= “I’ve interpreted these certain events and words to mean that McDaniels wants his own guy.” It’s what Cutler THINKS is the case, when it may not actually be the case. Understand? It’s just what he’s decided is the case. That’s his interpretation of the actual events.

“He admitted he wanted Matt Cassel because he said he has raised him up from the ground as a quarterback. He said he wasn’t sorry about it.”

= “This means he never wanted me, and always wanted Matt Cassel. He thinks I suck, and he wants to get rid of me.” All emotional meaning added on by Cutler. What happened was that McDaniels expressed admiration for a guy that he’d coached for the last 3 years and is a known quantity, and Cutler added on all the rest. It didn’t, and still doesn’t mean that McDaniels thinks Cassel will be a better QB in Denver than Cutler.

If you’ll recall, McDaniels had a much different interpretation and view of this conversation, which is really my whole point here- people add their own meanings to events.

McDaniels seem surprised by Cutler’s interpretation of the meeting- doesn’t that give you pause for thought, in the context of this conversation? How could two guys in the same room having the same conversation come away with such different impressions of that conversation?

Interpretation and added meaning, that’s how.

The McDaniels quote does nothing but reiterate what they’d been saying the whole time- somebody called, we listened, it didn’t happen. We moved on.

Again, no big deal, it’s just the business that is the NFL- no “message sent” here as I see it.

You are free to choose to see it differently.

by orange&blue_aussie on Mar 25, 2009 9:11 AM MDT up reply actions  

I don't take HACK10's comments as bashing...

What I generally try to do with the order of stories is present news first and opinion second, while hopefully keeping each storyline grouped together. In the case of this Krieger column, I thought it was most important that everyone read/watch/listen to McDaniels’ actual quotes and form their own opinions before reading Krieger’s take. It’s only fair to McDaniels.

If the feedback here is that I’m injecting too much of my own opinion into Horse Tracks, then that will certainly be noted and taken into account – I want to present these links in a fair manner. But we have enough intelligent, thorough and rational members here that I think the facts should come first. Opinions like those written by Krieger, Paige, Kiszla, Adams, Jones and Klis should follow the actual stories.

I generally look at the DP first because they are actually in Denver and should, in theory, have the best information. But when NFL.com is presenting facts and the DP is just offering polarized opinions, I will place the NFL.com story first.

I appreciate the kind words, Davus.X

Your comment on the article shapes the readers opinion before they even see it. I had skipped reading the Krieger article based on your characterization of it, then I caught it as I was checking all the DP articles on their website, and it turned out to be something I totally agree with.

It’s only fair to McDaniels Krieger.

You can get to the Chronicle

by going to sanfranciscochronicle.com, but you have to work your way through a few pages first.

Good point, Bradley

What I try to do is list the link under who the author writes for, not the web site it’s appearing on…

Hence, “KCS” for KC Star rather than KC.com, and from now on I’ll write “SFC” for Chronicle rather than “SFG”

Hope I wasn't confusing

The “Gate” is for the Golden Gate, I assume, and SFGate (the Chronicle) is a great source, especially for the Niners and Raiders.
Anyway, NYC, thanks for a great job!

I didn't listen to Casserly and co. since you'd already done it for me

Thanks for taking the hit, big guy!

You didn't miss anything

by not listening to Casserly. Trust me (and NYC!).

Apologies if this has already been shared

but I read an uncharacteristically good article at Bleacher Report last night in which Henry Milton advises that the best solution to the Cutler crisis is that the Broncos “Do Nothing!” What he suggests seems to be the emerging consensus.
