Chargers is healthy

It's said that if the Chargers want ot clean their path when they are against Oakland Raiders on Sunday, they need to keep healthy all the way.
Coach Norv Turner was optimistic with the situation .he said that only 3 players not practice on Friday and at least one of them can wear his chargers jersey and play against the Raiders.
with an ankle injury,linebacker Kevin Burnett will be absent at the game.He has not practiced all the week and it's very questionable for him.The same thing happened with Defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo.Tim Dobbins who really did good job last week will replace Burnett.
I like the Chargers.

The Indianapolis Colts are ready

Yes, they are ready.but,but it couldn’t come at a better time.
They spend four of the first six games on the road,including back-to-back trips to Miami and Arizona.
“We knew it would be very tough because it was very unusual,” coach Jim Caldwell said Monday. “We had to deal with different time zones, extensive travel, different weather and the guys did a good job. I think we were well prepared and we adapted very well.”
Actually, the Colts really did a good job.
They are off to their fourth 6-0 start in five seasons, are one of three remaining undefeated teams in the league and can extend their franchise-record winning streak to 16 regular-season games Sunday against San Francisco. Caldwell has matched the best six-game record for a rookie head coach since the 1970 merger, and three-time MVP Peyton Manning(notes) is now on pace for his second season with 40 touchdown passes.But what Indy has done is the most remarkable.Indy has also beaten three division champs from 2008—Miami, Arizona and Tennessee—all on the road. Two of the Colts’ other opponents, Jacksonville and Seattle, reached the divisional round of the playoffs in 2007.
Caldwell adapted by using the training camp schedule to prepare the Colts for their opening stretch and then altering the practice schedule when necessary to keep players fresh.
Colts players will also have some further motivation for winning starting next week:Win and take an extra day off.

Braylon Edwards's impulsion

someone has said:"Impulsion is an evil." Former Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards approved it.
He punched a man outside a Cleveland nightclub so then he has been charged with misdemeanor assault over accusations which stop his trade to the New York Jets.
Edwards is charging with punching promoter Edward Givens, whom is the firend of NBA star LeBron James . they had an argument on the sidewalk outside View Ultralounge & Nightclub on Prospect Avenue. James called the NFL players are jealous of him and his firends.
Edward was in the final year of the contract with the Cleveland.He criticized the team’s play-calling, argued with teammates and famously took a helicopter to the Ohio State-Michigan game in 2006 despite being told not to go.Edwards was also out partying in March with teammate Donte’ Stallworth, who later that night struck and killed a a 59-year-old pedestrian while driving drunk in Miami. Stallworth is suspended for the season.For this time incident ,Edwards also faces possible punishment from the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

Mike Smith

Smith, who led the Falcons to a surprising playoff berth last season and has the team off to a 3-1 start this season, tops that off by handing out books on leadership and personal growth. First,he knows how to run his team with the right guy.For example,As a head coach, he empowers different people to do things.he uses (Winston) because he has a different relationship with those players.Thaguy can really set a tone for how the team is going to work every day, as he’s the first guy they see when they come in on Wednesday for the special teams meeting."I know that he has a great feel for how to run the meeting. I’ll stick my head in there, but it’s his meeting. If it needs to be fire and brimstone, it’s fire and brimstone. He sets the tone."Secondly,he has a mechanism to help players deal with all the non-football issues that go with playing in this league.Such as Falcon University ,the Rookie Club and so on to refresh the players.Smith said:"Different guys learned about different situations. Maybe it was dealing with a girlfriend or dealing with an old girlfriend or dealing with a father that was out of the picture and maybe came back in. Whatever the situation, there are so many dynamics that they need direction and a place to go to find out how to deal with a problem. They need assistance and a person to bounce that off, someone who’s not necessarily a coach. It’s bouncing it off somebody who is in a
different area and that’s something that really helps them grow and ultimately help the team."

Owens meet his challenges

“I hear that he’s one of the greatest of all time, but I don’t buy it – never did,” “He drops balls. He’s not a natural catcher. He’s not a great route runner, blah, blah, blah. He’s big and strong and good with the run after the catch, if he catches it. I can give you 100 negatives. It’s just not worth it."These words come from a general manager. It seems a bad situation for Owens.whatever,In fairness,Owens has lost off his game has been made exponentially worse by some of Buffalo’s other decisions.Such as franchise traded anchor offensive tackle Jason Peters(notes) to the Philadelphia Eagles in April. One people cant make a tango.Clearly, Owens is a player with a gauntlet of concerns that make him a shaky commodity.The evaluators make such a comment on him:it’s not an issue of the walls he builds inside the locker room, but rather the walls he runs into once he leaves it.
