Daily Six-Pack: NFL preseason rewind

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:00:58 -0500

Here are six quick-hit thoughts on some of Week 1’s preseason NFL action. 1. Stafford was impressive. While it was only the first preseason game of his young career, Matthew Stafford was awfully impressive Saturday against the Falcons. In his debut, Stafford completed 7 of 14 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown. And if Keary Colbert [...]

Is Matt Stafford ready?

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:50:40 -0500

The Matthew Stafford Era started off like it should have. He stepped onto the field to a standing ovation, read the defense and used his freakishly strong arm to find Keary Colbert standing wide open in a hole in the zone defense. Also appropriate was the fact that ball bounced squarely off of Colbert's hands while Lions fans just shook their heads. Despite two drops by Colbert, Stafford is, according to color commentator Desmond Howard, headed to the Hall of Fame. The praise was endless...

Keary Colbert Sabotages Matthew Stafford's Impressive Detroit Debut

by Chris BurkeFiled under: Lions, NFL QuarterbacksMatthew Stafford's final stat line in his first NFL preseason action -- 7-of-14 for 114 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Atlanta -- don't stand out one way or the other. About as average as his 50-percent completion rate.He was better than the stats, though. If not for Keary Colbert, in fact, the stats would match the performance.Three of Stafford's seven incompletions can be pinned directly on Colbert, who might f...

Has Mike Shanahan lost his touch?

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:12:47 -0500

Boss Bailey, Keary Colbert - 2 players with good rookie seasons and nothing since. Niko Koutouvides - career backup and special teams player is going to start at middle linebacker this year? Do we even have to mention Darrell Jackson or Dewayne Robertson? Has the coach that took the Broncos to the promise land of the Super Bowl lost it? I think not - I think he is trying to duplicate the method he used for past success!

Is Keyshawn Johnson responsible for 'Instant Offense?'

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 17:15:27 -0500

Reports from Carolina are that Keyshawn Johnson has not only upgraded the second receiver position, but that his presence is making the rest of the receivers on the team better. Kerry Colbert is supposedly returning to 2004 form after a miserable injury plagued '05 campaign and Drew Carter's new nickname is 'Instant Offense.' This sounds like some preseason fluff, but Keyshawn's skills at this point in his career are a pefect fit for the Carolina Panthers. He's also much more of a team player than he's ever been given credit for. I'm not sure any of the WR's are going to be looking at a monster season, but Jake Delhomme could benefit the most from Keyshawn's signing and the lack of a true feature running back.
