On his conference call with the media Wednesday night, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum was insistent that Tim Tebow’s role with the Jets was going to be that of a backup quarterback who can run the Wildcat.

The mantra Tannenbaum kept repeating was that every team in the league needs a backup quarterback and that’s what they were going after when they made the deal for Tebow. In an appearance on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike Thursday morning, however, Tannenbaum sang a slightly different tune when it came to Mark Sanchez’s job security. Tannenbaum was asked about his vision for how much the team will use Tebow packages.

“If our offense is sputtering and we have, say, three three-and-outs and we roll this out there and it’s successful, who knows?”

Packers showing "definite interest" in Giants FA DE Dave Tollefson:

As a rookie in Green Bay, Dave Tollefson had to break in quarterback Brett Favre's insoles. A painful, forgettable experience. Six years later, the Packers may be asking him to help wake up their dormant pass rush. The Packers have "definite interest" in the New York Giants' defensive end, a league source said. No visit is scheduled yet, as Tollefson is set to visit the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday and Friday.

At 6-foot-4, 266 pounds, Tollefson most likely projects as a 3-4 outside linebacker in Green Bay's scheme. His growth has been gradual. Drafted by the Packers in the seventh round in 2006 out of Northwest Missouri State, he was let go and latched on with the Giants. Tollefson has mostly been a reserve on New York's deep defensive line but finally got his chance to produce in 2011 when injuries struck. With 21 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles, he may have created a market for himself this spring. He'd fit the low-cost budget general manager Ted Thompson prefers in free agency.

Tollefson has 81 career tackles, 10 sacks and five forced fumbles.
I'd love Tolly to stay with the Giants but I'm sure he's wanting to get on the field more. Good for him if he ends up with the Pack.
 
Michael bush and Matt Forte is a great one two punch for the bears.

The bears easily is having the best off season so far, broncos is second.
 
Cool. They're 12 year old girls. Good to know.

Good to see they both using ridiculous spelling in their text like teenage girls. lol

He's not the rat, but he's already airing private conversations to 'clear' his name. What a dope. I wish I could trade in my grammar for millions of dollars too.

:jnc, those were my exact reactions.

I'm glad they are at least kicking the tires on defensive linemen. This group has shown to be pretty freaking awful at evaluating d-line talent so it's one place where I would be ok with free agent signings.

Tollefson would not play defensive end, he'd be an olb in a 3-4 (although he did line up as a tackle alot last year). He actually did play a ton for the Giants last year due to the injuries, so I could see him thinking he deserves more cash.

I am not as high on Tollefson as other Giants fans. He's a good st player, with a really good motor but he has his limitations.
 
LOL, I bet the average completion % on passes over 20 yards is less then 50%. Big plays like that are usually low percentage.

well a general incomplete is not the same as a drop, but like I said earlier, isn't it not even an official stat? So who do you trust for drop numbers?
 
Bush to the bears? Well fuck.... I enjoy watching Bush play but I'd rather slit my throat and swallow a hand grenade then watch a Bears game. Oh well.

LOL @ Shockey saving face. Why does he feel he needs to be so defensive if he did not do it. A simple "I didn't do it" would have worked.
