In two unimpressive seasons with the Rams, he scored one touchdown and had just 68 rushing attempts. Looking back at it all, Dupree regrets leaving Oklahoma. Today, Dupree goes around speaking, telling his story. He said his message is simple. First quarter, you may score two touchdowns. Be patient and stay with the process.
Home NCAA. The top 11 players in average annual salary are all signal callers. The former running back discussed his joining the six-member class, which was announced Thursday afternoon. Alaska: Conor Feckley — 7, Passing Yards. Wheaton has lightning speed in the open field, as you might expect.
He reportedly ran a 4. Why did marcus dupree leave oklahoma? Asked by: Maryjane Trantow PhD. So when you're looking to see whether you should cut back or not, alter the schedule a little bit, the guys you look to first are the linemen.
They are the ones who suffer. There are days when you have to decide whether to throw 'em a bone or hit them over the head with a bone. And the conditioning of your linemen, in a lot of those cases, is the deciding factor.
McGlockton is said to be about pounds and won't do much of anything, except for individual conditioning work, for the first two or three weeks of camp. If the Jets can get him onto the field for the final preseason game, they will be satisfied, provided first-round tackle Dewayne Robertson is signed by that point. Canidate For some reason unbeknownst to Redskins officials, there were rumors this week that Washington had already soured on tailback Trung Canidate and were likely to trade him or release him by the start of the season.
There isn't a scintilla of truth to the whispers. The three-year veteran, acquired from St. Louis in an offseason trade for a fourth-round draft choice, missed practice time in the spring because of some leg problems. But he has been back in Arizona working out with a personal trainer, and is expected to be full-go for the beginning of training camp. Canidate is still projected as the Washington starter, with the coaches convinced he is a solid fit for what Steve Spurrier wants at the tailback position, and will add a big-play dimension to the Redskins running game.
The battle at tailback will come at the backup spot, between Ladell Betts and Kenny Watson , a couple of second-year veterans. Both youngsters played well at times in but roster quotas might mean only one will make the team this year.
Canidate is a lock and the Redskins are listing kickoff return specialist Chad Morton as a tailback, and hope to utilize him as a third-down back. Not many teams retain four tailbacks on their roster. Then again, since Spurrier makes so little use of his tight ends, the Redskins could go "light" at the position on their roster, and keep an extra back.
Cincinnati coaches got some good news this week when their excellent backup tailback, Brandon Bennett , was cleared physically for camp. Bennett missed considerable practice time as he rehabilitated from disc surgery and Bengals officials had grown concerned enough at one point to begin considering alternatives to the No. The team looked into a possible trade for Thomas Jones , before the former Arizona first-rounder was swapped instead to Tampa Bay, but decided to wait and see how Bennett's recovery progressed.
A four-year veteran, Bennett doesn't get much publicity, but he is a productive role player and a good guy to have around. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis is very high on longshot running back Ray Jackson, a free agent who wasn't even in a training camp last year.
The former University of Cincinnati standout, who began his college career at Michigan and then transferred, spent the year working for the local recreation commission, stocking shelves at Wal-Mart and redefining his frame.
His weight went from pounds to pounds and his yard time, remarkably, improved from 4. Jackson has a chance to earn a roster spot as a kick returner. Although the league has advised exiled cornerback Rashard Anderson that he cannot file for reinstatement until December, since he tested positive again for marijuana during his treatment, look for the former first-rounder's camp to mount an effort to have the NFL consider an August appeal.
The tack likely won't succeed, but some feel that it is worth a shot, since the most recent positive test occurred when the Carolina Panthers veteran was extremely close to having successfully completed his one-year suspension. Nearly as slim as the chances for that argument succeeding are the chances the Panthers will ever take Anderson back again. Given past off-field indiscretions by Panthers players, the franchise is trying to sanitize its image.
Because he has prototype size and lots of untapped potential, Anderson might get another opportunity in the league, but it won't be until and it won't be in a Carolina uniform. By the way, sources confirmed to ESPN. It seems like every week, there's a note in this column about safeties -- how many remain in free agency and how many teams seem to still need a veteran backup.
But perhaps no team is in more need of a proven safety than the Philadelphia Eagles , whose depth chart behind starters Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis is nearly as bare as Mother Hubbard's pantry. But don't expect LeJeune to be the primary backup for long. Coordinator Jim Johnson has conceded he is concerned about the depth problem. With a ton of money still left on their salary cap, bet the mortgage the Eagles will sign a veteran safety either before or during training camp.
Well, he didn't get much more. Of course, the eight-year veteran still has a job, and , of anything is always better than zero. The contract reworking, though, didn't assure Bruener of any security past this year. So the two sides likely will go through the trimming process again next summer or Bruener will be released. Notably, it appears Bruener could retain his starting job. The word in the 'burgh is that former Buffalo starter Jay Riemersma , released by the Bills for salary cap reasons, will be used primarily on third downs.
Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey has rarely deployed a tight end on third down, but wants to better control the middle of the field in Riemersma is a solid receiver who should now give the Steelers a presence between the hashes. There have been a lot of tales told this week about the late Tex Schramm, truly one of the giants of the game, and we're certainly not going to endeavor to top those stories.
But one insight, if you will, into just how creative, inventive and resourceful Schramm could be in almost any circumstance: In , when the Dallas Cowboys were re-designing their uniforms, Schramm had a certain shade of blue in mind for the new game-day duds.
