Ellison signed his tender (6th round), should remain a Bill.

Whispers / PFW We hear Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels’ announcement that the team would transition to a 3-4 defense was welcome news to Broncos DEs Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder, who were the team’s top two picks in the 2007 draft. Moss and Crowder struggled to get playing time last season...

Whispers / PFW Panthers CB Ken Lucas expressed uncertainty about his future with the team recently, but sources say it looks as if he'll be released this offseason. Lucas has a large cap figure for next season and did not finish the season strong. With No. 3 CB Richard Marshall waiting in the...

Whispers / PFW We hear the Falcons are very likely to move DE Jamaal Anderson to defensive tackle next season. Anderson, the eighth overall pick in the 2007 draft, has just two sacks in 31 starts through his first two seasons, and Atlanta already has experimented with moving him inside on...

:wub: How bout this... Slaton is one of those anomalous individuals who appear as if to get more powerful as the contest progresses. :lmao:

Ran across this...Jan. 23, 2009 By Eric Edholm PFW Lions could scrap the Tampa-2 under Schwartz, Cunningham The Tampa-2 defense that former head coach Rod Marinelli installed and ran the past few seasons could be a thing of the past. New head coach Jim Schwartz and defensive coordinator...

I've only seen Monday and Tuesday's practices on NFLN, still have Wednesday and Thursday to watch, haven't read Wed/Thur updates yet either, like to watch the practices first. So you may have already touched on this. As far as TEs, I thought the kid from So Miss has looked pretty good so far.

Good point Dr O, everyone is playing two back system. As for Slaton being smaller back, true... however he is basically the same size as Portis when Portis was a rookie in Denver. Houston's offense is basically the same as Denver's, they have the great Alex Gibbs and the zone blocking scheme...

Also... Slaton was the only back to gain 100+ yards vs Tennessee (he did it twice).
