SHAWN ANDREWS

Found August 04, 2008 on Lombardi on Football:
PLAYERS: Shawn Andrews,  Jon Runyan
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Oakland Raiders



This Shawn Andrews hold out has everyone baffled. And yesterday in Peter King' story about his annual journey to Lehigh, he wrote that he had been assured from the EAGLES this protest from Andrews was not about money. So what could it be?

It can only be two issues -- either he wants to retire and hates football or he is unhappy with his contract. If he were sick or had an emotional problem at home, the Eagles would be much more sympathetic to his needs. So you can rule out those reasons. The Eagles are acting as if the player has told them he wants to quit, but needs more time to make the final decision. Jon Runyan's call for Andrews to just show up and be a teammate is a clear indication Runyan thinks the guy is quitting on him.

During my time with the Raiders we went through this with Steve Wisniewski and Napoleon Kaufman. The Andrews situation reminds me of those times and it's the only reason that makes sense to me. What do you think?

Rookie life and my family

Good morning to the Yard. I call my mom when I first get up each morning. She's usually up when we get up at 6:45 -- it's 8:45 at home. I'll call my dad in the afternoon and usually call my mom again too. But it's not as many phone calls today as it usually will be. I just like to talk to them, find out how everything is going at home and fill them in on what&...

Success of Raider 'D' starts up front, with Sands

Via realfootball365.com  |  August 05, 2008
Tommy Kelly is the one Oakland Raiders defender who took up most of the outside attention during the offseason. That's what happens when you sign a $50.5 million contract. But Kelly's not the player the Raiders need taking up most of the attention on the field this season. That important task goes to the mammoth Terdell Sands, a 6-foot-7, 335-pounder who earned his...

Burgess gets work on both ends of line

Via montereyherald.com  |  August 04, 2008
NAPA — Derrick Burgess has had plenty of success in Oakland lining up as a pass rusher at left defensive end and pressuring the quarterback. While most elite pass rushers prefer playing on the other side of the line in order to be on a right-handed quarterback's blind side, Burgess has always felt more at home on the left side even if it means he often has to deal with a...
