Interesting note from Packers playoff loss last year

Packers wide receiver Ruvell Martin says the most resounding block of his three-year career came in the Seattle playoff game last January. On a reception to James Jones, Martin broke off his route, latched on to to cornerback Kelly Jennings and pancaked him five yards out of bounds among the photographers.


After that game, Martin said Marcus Trufant came up to him and told him he blocked well enough to be a starting fullback.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano’s Monday news conference

(On if he envisions the possibility of going to the playoffs) – "I think every new season; every team goes into a new season thinking, obviously, the best. We went into the season thinking the best. We went into the season feeling like we had just as good of a chance to put ourselves in the mix as anyone else did. I don’t know right now whether or not that’s where we are, but I know is that today we wake up and we’re one of 15 teams, or 14 teams right now that have four or five wins in this league. We just kind of threw ourselves into the middle of something here and all we did right now; created an opportunity to have a real big game at home this week."

Jason Peters to report to Bills

According to NFL.com, Bills left tackle Jason Peters is ending his holdout and reporting to the Bills. However, and this is a big however, he is not supposed to be playing against the Seahawks on Sunday. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. On the one hand, you kind of like the idea of having Kerney and Jackson going against second-tier guys. On the other, having Jackson and Tapp going against a guy who would be playing for the first time nine months might be kind of appealing as well.

Seahawks looking better for Sept. 7

First off, Bills starting left tackle Jason Peters is in the midst of an ongoing holdout for a new contract. So the Bills put Langston Walker, normally a right tackle, into Peters’ spot at left tackle. Except that Walker just got hurt, banging his left arm in an injury that the Bills are saying might be serious, meaning that the Bills currently have no left tackle. With the regular season only two weeks away, Lawrence Jackson and Darryl Tapp might be licking their chops right now.
