The creepy part is that the role of Jeannie is apparently played by Brian Cushing.
Kevin Bentley will see some time at MLB. This may be nothing more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but I like that they're at least attempting to address one thing that hasn't been working.
For what it's worth, I agree with this decision. So it looks like we'll see Kevin Bentley at SLB, Cushing at MLB, and Zac Diles staying on the weakside.
I know many of us are sick of talking about the Cushing suspension, but regardless of your feelings, I think this is a fair question.
Per Mark Berman: NFL sources told FOX 26 Sports Houston Texans owner Bob McNair will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Monday in New York concerning linebacker Brian Cushing's suspension for the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Sources told FOX 26 McNair's goal is to get the commissioner to eliminate or lessen the league's suspension which will cost the Texans linebacker the first four games of the regular season. League sources told FOX 26 McNair will present new evidence to the commissioner that he hopes will help Cushing's cause. Pretty unlikely, but interesting nonetheless. UPDATE: According to Peter King, the "new evidence" that Bob McNair is presenting the Commish with is something called "Overtrained Athlete Syndrome." Wow...I'm surprised Goddell even granted him a meeting if this is true... UPDATE 2: Anna Megan has some video from today's practice of Brian Cushing explaining the "syndrome."
Preach on, Rivers. Preach on.
No word yet on who the replacement will be. Safe to say it probably won't be Morlon Greenwood, MDC's write-in campaign be damned.
Have some fun, Texans-style, as Brian Cushing and Matt Schaub are wired against the Seahawks.
