ProFile... calling plays or playing calls...

While the watching and waiting surrounding the status of coach Jim Zorn's troubled tenure continues... a quick look around the league...



It's a shame Denver's 6-0. Seriously... to rally past the Patriots in CBS's #1 game and then outscore San Diego on MNF---WEARING THOSE UNIFORMS? Why couldn't they have gone back to the "Orange Crush" unis worn in the later part of their AFL tenure? My rankings of classic AFL unis during their 50th anniversary celebration:

1--New England... Pat Patriot rules!


2--Buffalo... it took me about 5-10 years to get used to the red helmet switch...

3--San Diego... can it be a classic look when they've already went back to it? Make the numbers on helmets a permanent move and we're talking second place!


4--Kansas City... with the exception of the lame name "Texans"... what kept Oakland from being called the "Californians" or Denver from being the "Coloradans"? The fact that the current NFL team has the same stupid nickname is Exhibit A in the case for the league not being perfect.

5--Oakland... it takes a sharp set of eyes to pick out the silver numbers on road jerseys... clearly the best thing about the Raiders in the last 7 years.



6--Tennessee... Titans should giftwrap the name Oilers and hand delivered to Houston pronto-- though not the 60's unis but the Luv Ya Blue Logo (white helmet, red derrick)...

7--New York Jets... was anyone creeped out when the Jets dressed as the Titans took on the Titans dressed as the Oilers? Even though it was worn from 1978 to 96, I wish they went with the gang-green helmet for old time's sake.

8--Denver... brown with vertically striped socks... the only getup worse than Maroon and Black.



Road from Jacksonville to LA being paved as we speak-- California Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger signs a bill allowing construction of a 75,000 seat stadium in Los Angeles.
Enjoy the Jacksonville Jaguars while you can... and be prepared for some divisional shifting...
my proposal has the Jaguars going to the NFC West...St Louis moves to the South and Carolina (with two NFC teams bracketing it in Atlanta and Washington) moves to the AFC South.


The new Skins situation-- best of luck calling plays with an offense you've only known for two weeks, Sherman Lewis... couldn't the brain trust have waited until the bye week?
