With way too much to cover the guys go no huddle and deliver some Week 2 Quick Hits: Comparisons of Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas to Steelers legend Troy Palomalo, 49ers coach, Jim Harbaughc encouraging Alex Smith to scramble more and has given Smith more license to get outside of the pocket, Ben Roethlisberger indicating that the Steelers will use the no-huddle offense against the Seahawks on Sunday, and finally, according to Kansas City Star, QB Matt Cassel is no longer listed on the Chiefs weekly injury report after suffering a preseason rib injury (mmm, ribs).
Chicago LB Brian Urlacher is now back with the Bears following the untimely death of his mother. Though planning on missing much of this week’s practices, he does plan on playing in New Orleans this Sunday. Coach Lovie Smith believes it will be nice for Urlacher to get away from the grieving for a brief time and participate in something he loves.
The guys take up the question of which 0-1 team faces a must-win situation in Week 2. Jeff needs a consultation with his personal assistant before weighing in on this tough question. It is finally decided that the Steelers can neigh afford to drop to 0-2.
Finally a programing note: the guys will be live on Sky Sports News in the U.K. tomorrow which can be seen in the United States on Fox Soccer Channel at 9:45 A.M. Pacific Time.
