He gets to practice. If he impresses someone else in the league, he is a FA and can sign with another team.

Hang in there Awasom!

Sort of. He apparently didn't impress anyone else because you have to clear waivers before you can be placed on the practice squad. Now if someone loses a DE, doesn't have one on their practice squad and decides that AA is the best available then he might be available for a price.

Anyway, it's a helluva lot better being on an NFL practice squad than playing in Europe or Canada IMO. Still glad for him and proud of what he has accomplished.

Adrian we believe in you!

I'll second that. I said this about Scott Hall too, and this guy's future is bright no matter what. He's a leader, a tough competitor and intelligent. I enjoyed watching him play and wish him all the best.

Scott continues to lead, this time by example - off the field... he is helping to rebuild New Orleans. Class Act till the end.

I must have missed something.  What is Scott doing to rebuild NO?  I do wish him the best in any endeavors.  Now if he can jsut get Dinkins to keep his mouth closed.  How in the world did he ever get reelected.

"You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time"

You must be referring to Nagin. He got re-elected through a coalition of the displaced, low-income refugees and the Republican elite in the Garden District. They backed Nagin, who is an off and on Republican/Democrat (he's very coy about exactly where he stands) because he was opposed in a run-off by a prominant democrat. Nagin, who was a former business executive in New Orleans was perceived to be better aligned with the power structure in the city...which has been an uneasy coalition between these two groups. I wonder if they haven't had second thoughts about backing Nagin this time around.

There were a number of good articles about the crazy and complex nature of New Orleans city politics leading up to the election, but I don't know if you can find any now.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      I wrote about our version of the 3-3-5 -- which is known either as 3-high, or 3-3-3. I think it has som e interesting things, and that we have improved. I think Texas Tech killed us and made everything we did wrong. https://www.meangreennation.com/publish/post/147907725 The best stuff we did was in the first two drives -- those ones where we still allowed 10-points and they ran with ease. Outside of that I think we were laughed off the field. The scheme can be good and our packaging/prep/personnel bad. Or some other combinations. Last year I thought we didn't have enough talent. This year we level up, but Caponi called a weird game and we were underprepared against a very talented offense with a very talented OC.

      Air Force Serious Target For AAC

      Best Scenario = UNT gets an invite to the PAC12 with Memphis, Tulane, and UTSA and makes the move. Second Best Scenario = UNT, Memphis, Tulane, and USF all stay in the American and Air Force joins to round out the military academies. Even if UTSA or TX State go to the PAC, this American configuration would be arguably on par with that PAC. Worst Case Scenario = UTSA, Rice, Memphis, and Tulane all go to the PAC12, and the American backfills with Air Force Academy and TX State. Things worst case scenario because the PAC will clearly be the “best of the rest” and the next media deal with the American will not be as lucrative.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      The 3-3-5 should be a situational defense. Not a base defense. Need to be able to be multiple against offenses now. Again, problems arise when you don't have depth players who buy in. Missing on so many transfers that were supposed to help the back half of our defense really hurt us this past weekend, IMO. Whether from injury, legal issues, etc....we are undersized and too slow to play with a Big 12 offense.

      Oregon State AD: Pac-12 will look to add new schools quickly

      Several G5's are going to have to make some difficult choices on football in the coming years. UNT will be okay but schools like Tulsa, UTEP, Ark State, etc. could be forced to shut it down.

      Air Force Serious Target For AAC

      Three triple option teams in one conference is going to be wrecking havoc on the knees and ankles of every DL in the American.
