Tuesday Morning Quickies

Green Watch
People keep telling me this Trent Green deal is going to happen, and frankly I don't see it. The Chiefs have dug in on this one and those of us that know Carl Peterson can attest to the fact that if he doesn't want to do something, he simply won't. I would not be surprised to see the NFLPA get somewhat involved here.


Early 2008 Favorites
Now that the 2007 draft is gone, I've started to look at the '08 class. Two of my favorite players thus far are WR Keenan Burton (Kentucky) and CB Antoine Cason (Arizona). Cason may have been the first cornerback taken had he entered the 2007 draft. Burton is an electric athlete that is going to make a ton of big plays with QB Andre Woodson. Of course I have to note my early infatuation with Hawaii QB Colt Brennan. But please remember, last year at this time I didn't like LaRon Landry at all and thought Calvin Johnson may be a touch slow off the line. Funny how things change when you study.

Ironic Notes from Mini Camp
New Oakland Raiders WR Mike Williams is making a huge impact so far in the Bay... he's already hurt. For those of us that hoped Williams would turn it around under former USC coach Lane Kiffin, it's not starting out well for Williams.

Another fantastic nugget from Raiders camp is that Warren Sapp supposedly lost 50lbs in the off-season. That is a six-year old people. If he weren't the most out of shape defender in the league last year, people would be throwing up some red flags about his ability to drop weight so quickly.

No real surprise here: Ashley Lelie and Darrell Jackson are both missing camp because of injury. Ask around the league 49ers, these guys don't like to practice.

More later.......
