But he had a good running game in Buffalo surely? And some good recievers in Lee Evans and Eric Moulds? That's true, but he had his best season in Buffalo was when he had Peerless Price and Eric Moulds at wideout. Price added a huge amount to that passing attack because of his ability and the type of player he is..Having such an outstanding passing attack meant that a top notch running back (step in Mr. Henry)'s job became a lot easier and I think that was the year when he too had his best year so far, again taking the pressure of Drew.. As for this year, Evans is still quite young but is starting to come good and will hopefully have a good season, Mr McGahee is on a mission and they've still got Eric Moulds, so I think Buffalo could do something..They went on a really good run at the end of last season when things started clicking and McGahee took a lot of pressure off Drew, who in turn had more time then to find Evans and Moulds..Bills are Playoff bound I reckon! As for the Cowboys, expect big yardage numbers from Bledsoe and JJ, the two will feed off each other.. Even if it doesn't work out for Bledsoe, he's still a great signing for the team as he'll pass on a lot to the likes of Drew Henson..And just look at what happened to the last guy who started after backing up Mr Bledsoe..2 Superbowl rings and a rather nice new car

sorry, but that's how limited my knowledge is, I know Rice was a great player, but other than last season and this, i don't know who he played for. was mistake when adam spoke about Rice, then stu said about 'dallas not replacing him' I made error of connecting Rice with Dallas, before I noticed he was speaking about Irvine. just shows how much I know about NFL before last season.

Good point Mike about Bledsoe passing on the knowledge...but it might be to Romo rather than Henson.....according to Tuna, Romo is in the frame for the back up job

Really!?..Good to see that Tony's doing so well!..I'm surprised though seeing as Henson got some extensive playing time last season and did ok, although Tuna did decide to send Chad Hutchinson to Europe a year after he'd started 8 (I think) games for the Cowboys in favour of keeping Romo to work with in the mini-camps, so he obviously sees something in Romo and has proved time and time again he knows his fish (pardon the pun, I couldn't resist!) when it comes to judging players, so when you look at it that way I suppose I'm not surprised at all!

And not only is Romo in line for a backup spot hes in line for this................
Thing is, Henson started one game, against the Bears on Thanksgiving and he was pulled at half time cos he was like a rabbit in the headlights...but hes still thought of as the QB of the future. Ironically, if Chad hadnt gone to NFLE last summer and got killed thanks to a crap O line, he would have probably been the Cowboys starter bu about week 6!! As it was his game film came back, the coaches were unimpressed and cut him, this all befoe Quincygate.......so Im glad that Tuna kept both Henson and Romo at home this year...to be honest I aint kept much of a watch on the NFLE since the Claymores were bombed out

Lol nice one! See, Mr. Bledsoe's helping him already! ;D Good point about Chad Dave, coming over to Europe can really be a boost to your career (See: Hall, Dante; Warner, Kurt and Delhomme, Jake), but if things go pear shaped.. Twas a shame what happened to Chad, but I think he'll be back

However Europe can also be misleading, for example, the 'mores have had some decent running backs like Herbert Goodman and one previous to that a few years before him that never made any impact on the NFL, so it is really just pure lucky if anyone makes it big out of Europe!
