Pre-Emptive Attack: Andre Hall

Continuing on with where we left off yesterday, Andre Hall has come up while there's a lot to draw upon... The Kansas City Chiefs spent a lot of time with Hall, before deciding not to draft him, being that the Chief's had to roll with Kolby Smith last year and could have completely replaced Larry Johnson with Hall last season. Too bad, now the Broncos have him...

Here's a clip from Hall at USF:



And here's a Miami Dolphin fan advocating picking up Hall in the 3rd or 4th round:

"the star running back out of USF. If Ricky is suspended he can be a valuble option in the 3rd or 4th Rd."

ZING! Let's hope that Hall is all over Miami's defense this year, so they can regret letting Hall slip north to Tampa.

Pre-Emptive Attack: Anthony Aldridge

Here's a little column that I thought up, should be fun in jest. What we're going to do is feature a youtube clip of a rookie and a posting from before the draft of a rival making a case for why that rookie should be on their team. Today we have Anthony Aldridge:

Here is Aldridge running for a nice 50-yarder for Houston (courtesy of CBS):



And here is a Raiders fan pleading for him to be picked up in the draft:

From the blog Raidersfans.net:

and features such lovely commentary as:

"Another running back who impresses the hell out of me who i truely expect to blossom in a zone blocking scheme is Anthony Aldridge from Houston. Dude runs a 4.26 40 and in 2006 ran for 959 yards and 8 TD's all on 95 CARRIES!!!! He's sick. Then in 07 he ran for over 1,500 yards and was second in the nation with like 6.41 YPC. He's proven he can take 30 carries a game and if mixed with Bush could be an all out dynamic duo. best part he's projected to go in the 6th round due to questions about his receiving ability."
