Why is Edge at #4?

Edge played in 16 games and had:
337 1159 3.4 6 | 38 217 5.7 0

Not stellar by his standards in Indy, but... nearly 1200 yds rushing and 6 TDs.

I was wondering the same thing with Roethlisberger as well. Guess this list includes rebounding from bad seasons.

I guess... this just tells me that they're reaching for "comeback" stories b/c there just aren't many. Though, now that Trent is in Miami... he qualifies.

I just think it's odd that Edge is on there after putting up 1200 yds (nearly) in 16 games, yet Shaun Alexander missed half the season after being the MVP and he's not on the list. But, Portis is on there after missing just about as much time.

Obviously it was not a well thought out article. All kidding aside, the braintrust here on the Planet could do a better job on a lot of these.

Because SI is pretty poor and they have been for a lot of years. They're still in business because a lot of people have fond memories from 20 years ago.

How about them fleece pullovers! Sign up now and get one!

Magazines are all doomed, they are all on their last leg in our industry and they used to rule.

Yep Shaun Alexander would have been a better pick.

i hope Betts gets the majority of carries in DC.
Kearse? when was the lasttime he was healthy a full season?

He has played three years for the Eagles and never had more then seven sacks in a season with them and only had three last year. Those are not bad numbers but for the crazy money they gave him he is not even close to living up to that kinda money. IMO this will be his last year with the Eagles unless he really steps it up or takes a major pay cut.

Splat420, that is a bizarre-ass picture of Bernard Pollard.

Splat420 · 06-07-2007, 08:37 AM

I like it it was took after he blocked a punt and scored a TD I believe it was vs the Ravens?
