RAMS LOSE A WR
This morning I reported that Rams WR Donnie Avery was undergoing an X-ray on his sore left foot. The X-ray showed no fracture but a follow up MRI showed some severe ligament strain in the foot. Avery is expected to miss 4-6 weeks which most likely will cost him at least a couple of games in the regular season. Keenan Burton and Laurent Robinson will become the starting WR's for the Rams until Avery comes back. I really like Robinson's potential. He is a big receiver who has deceptive speed and can make all the catches. He's the perfect playmaker in this teams offense because the rest of the guys are smaller, more agile pass catchers. Robinson can go up and get a pass and also has great ability after the catch.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT BESS
Davone Bess has been the most consistent Dolphins WR in camp thus far. He is outperforming Ted Ginn Jr. but quite a margin and has established himself as Chad Pennington's favorite WR. Bess is quick in and out of his cuts and his lateral quickness allows him to run routes very well. From a fantasy perspective, Bess should be the first Miami WR to be drafted in fantasy leagues. Don't make the mistake of drafting Ginn instead just because you've heard of him before. These kinds of decisions can ruin your season before it ever gets really started.
HALL OF FAME GAME
How great was it to have football back on live TV tonight? My impressions from the game were few but here it goes. The Bills came out in the brand new no huddle offense which didn't make an impact at all due to the terrible play of the Bills offensive line. The Tennessee defensive front just tore through everything the Bills had. Neither offensive line looked particularly well tonight. The Titans are without Kevin Mawae and that showed up quite a bit in their running game or lack of it. Even though LenDale White managed to secure a TD, his rightful place is as the backup to Chris Johnson. I would like to see the Titans again when Collins gets some more work and players like Kenny Britt are on the field but hey...beggars can't be choosers, right?

Did you see Bills rookie G Andy Levitre get man-handled by Jason Jones (I think) on Edwards' early pick? This O-Line has a lot of work to do...
It was bad CB and you are right. They are going to put a lot of pressure on the line with the no huddle too. They had better be in tip top shape to pull this one off...
