Monday Morning G.M.

Here are some thoughts on Week 4 in the NFL:

Maybe the Oakland Raiders are not that bad....the Raiders are 2-2 and have played well in all of their games....the running game may have looked too good yesterday because they were playing the porous Miami defense....but when they come off the bye, Oakland will gain the services of Dominick Rhodes to go along with Lamont Jordan and Justin Fargas....and who is to say that Daunte Culpepper hasn’t found new life with the silver and black....it would not be the first time a "washed up" quarterback has come to lift the Raiders to new heights....remember Jim Plunkett....

Another team showing some life are the Cleveland Browns....it looks like wide receiver Braylon Edwards is finally becoming that homerun threat that he was supposed to be....however, he only had 1 more reception after that long touchdown in the first half....Cleveland needs to get the ball in his hands at least 6-8 times per game....

I’ve been reading that Arizona quarterback Matt Leinart has been a regular in hitting the party scene....he needs to get his act together - now.....Kurt Warner is a nice back-up, but he cannot lead this team through the next 12 games and into the playoffs....Leinart needs to step up now, something he was allegedly not doing concerning child payments for his newborn...

Let’s face it, the Bears are just a bad ball club with no running attack....as a team they finished with 69 yards on the ground....Chicago needs to get help because Cedric Benson is a bust as a featured back....

What ever happened to Neal Anderson? (photo) ....

The October 14th game between the Patriots and Cowboys is shaping up as a possible Super Bowl preview....

Will someone explain to me why Adrian Peterson carried the ball only 12 times for the Vikings?....are they saving him for the playoffs?....

Why didn’t Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Morningweg or head coach Andy Reid make an adjustment and get some help for left tackle William Justice?....the Giants sacked Donovan McNabb 12 times with six of the sacks coming from Osi Umenyiora going against Justice?....

The Lions bounced back nicely after taking a pounding last week from the Eagles...

I love watching games involving NFC East teams...is it just me or does anyone else feel that way too?...whenever the Eagles, Redskins, Cowboys, or Giants play against each other, it seems like the game comes down to the last few minutes...I can't get into watching NFC or AFC South teams and the same goes for NFC West...
