All Things 2012 Gophers in the NFL Thread

[Gopher07]

It stinks that the injury basically dooms Du'ane's chances of playing anywhere this year, but hopefully he can bounce back and stick somewhere.

Garrett Brown (former Gopher DT) was suspended for 4 games for performance enhancing drugs. He was with the San Diego Chargers.

per Shooter:

Marc Trestman, the former Gophers QB who has taken the Montreal Alouettes to three Grey Cup championship games and won two, is off to a 5-3 start and leading his division this season despite losing his defensive coordinator to Purdue and his offensive coordinator to the Toronto Argonauts.

Trestman, who is from St. Louis Park, will be an NFL head coach someday, and sooner rather than later.

Not surprising, didn't see much action in preseason.

Sid did say he would be #2 qb for the Broncos though.

 

[Dr.Don]

The audacity of the Broncos to cut their #2 qb.

 

[Johnnyboy18]

Adam Weber got picked up by the Bucs practice squad.

Chip Scoggins: Sherels sticks with Vikings despite size, odds

A month ago, the former U cornerback seemed unlikely to make the roster. But he's still here, appreciated for his multipurpose value.

This article is crazy, about the only one that I agree hasn't lived up to expectations is Maroney. How can one put Lloyd in the list? The fact that he went undrafted yet still played in the NFL shows he over-achieved.

Great 77 yard punt return for a TD by Sherels as the Vikes look to get a big win at Detroit.

Giving examples of former Gophers doing well is no way to argue with the people who dwell only on those former Gophers that don't.

You, of all people Bleed, should know that.

ESPN: Undersized Marcus Sherels gives his all to Vikings

"Anyone who knows Marcus knows he's not a limelight guy," Mike said. "He doesn't like attention. He likes to just go about his business. He told me they sang 'Happy Birthday' to him on the plane coming home, and he said it was pretty embarrassing."

[GophersInIowa]

The Sacramento-Las Vegas UFL game is on CBS Sports Network right now. Anthony Jacobs is #97 for Sacramento and Simoni Lawrence is #52 for Las Vegas. Of note, former All-American from Michigan St., Gregory Jones III, is #53 for Las Vegas. And MN native, Dominique Byrd is #86 for Sacramento. There's some other names that ring a bell also.

 

[gopher7]

Looks like "The Curse of Jamal Harris" struck Eric Decker. Only a Gopher could screw up a clear path to the end zone.

He made up for it though. Good night for him 6-98 with a TD.

Two more yards and I win my fantasy football game. That saddened me.

[It's a Pig Man!]

Bleed, is there a publication you don't check on a regular basis in case their is a mention of something past, present, or future Gopher related? I commend you on your unrelenting diligence.
