Not sure if this deserves a thread. Im also wondering if this was done to make room for someone else?[/quote]

Wow, I thought SG might have more than just 1 preseason game to find out the best kicker.

We have snatched up Thaddeus Gibson.

This Thaddeus Gibson guy has been with 3 NFL teams in 1 year...Not good if he's trying to make it in the NFL

I counter with ths:

If the Stillers wanted to bring him back, then this guy must have something in the tank.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

I like the fact that he is a) special teams ready, and b) that the Steelers wanted to claim him back. seems like he could be a good backup. Would like to know why SF let him go, though.

Granted the cost of living in Pittsburgh might even get him a bigger house, but the weather!

Oh man, I hope this is true. Ironically Carlos Rogers may have had something to do with this number.
[QUOTE]In a word, yes.

Here are eight items that show why the Giants shouldn't be written off as second-place contenders in the NFC East.

Michael Vick wasn't anywhere near as good as his 2010 numbers suggest

One of the reasons Philadelphia won the NFC East in 2010 is that Vick had a near-MVP campaign, but the fact is he benefitted from more luck than maybe any other quarterback in the league.

He had only 19.4 percent of his potential interceptions turn into actual interceptions. That total was tied for the lowest interception luck factor rate in the league and indicates he was a huge beneficiary of fortunate bounces.

Lowest interception luck factor last season[/QUOTE]

Said that he was numbers casualty in PIT and new reign in SF..

I've heard Gibson is pretty upset that we're the team that claimed him.

Any particular reason?

Well, he liked the idea of playing in a 3-4 defense. And playing for his old LB coach Lou Spanos again...but then he found out Colin Cowherd picked us to go 2-14 this year...
