Never heard of Taylor? He's the one who shut down Chad Johnson three times last year, only Johnson wouldn't put a check on that stupid list in his locker because Ike wasn't even on the list.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I think this will be a typical first game. Sloppy with mistakes on both sides.

In baseball, a hitter is going up against a baseball which hasn't changed size/weight in 100 years. As the players artificially get stronger, the ball obviously travels further. The ball can't fight back. A competitive advantage is gained. <BR/><BR/>In football, however, I have always assumed that a large but equal number of linemen on BOTH sides of the ball are using. Therefore, there is no competitive advantage. However, if for some reason, defensive linemen were magically prohibited from using PED and, suddenly, the offensive linemen were twice their size and yards per carry started increasing to 8 or 9, THEN fans would be up in arms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157640222779783082006-09-07T10:43:00.000-04:002006-09-07T10:43:00.000-04:00Living in Findlay, Oh, I am tired of hearing anyth...Living in Findlay, Oh, I am tired of hearing anything and everything about Big Ben.

I have too many questions about the team to make that call. Can Culpepper Regain his form and stay healthy all year? Will the decreased mobility affect his game as you yourself have asked I believe. Can Ronnie Brown handle the pressure of being the full time running back? I still think the Pats are the team to beat in the AFC East, and I'm not saying that as a homer. We have a decent O-Line, a great defensive line with Seymour and Wilfork, among others. The Secondary will be bolstered by the return of Rodney Harrison. I think Junior Seau still has some gas left in the tank to make a meaningful contribution. Tedy Bruschi will still sniff out the ball on most plays. The Running game should re-emerge with Corey Dillon providing the power runs and Maroney providing the outside speed. Plus Kevin Faulk's ability to make catches out of the backfield. Oh yea, and we still have that guy named Brady...Aitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465798018639732646noreply@blogger.com
