... "Stycke av Pussel," or "piece of the puzzle," he thinks. Adam Schefter doesn't waste any time in suggesting that Jason Cambpell has looked Pro Bowl good in OTA's. Seriously, there's nothing better than being a Skins fan in May. I'll get on board this Pro Bowl train, why not? Also, apparently the team's new radio frequency in the Hampton Roads area is "

... This leaves Kelly Holcomb, whom Philadelphia acquired in an off-season trade from Buffalo, as the fourth quarterback and the apparent odd man out. However, Holcomb always could outplay Feeley this summer. But more likely, another team will lose a quarterback to injury during the preseason and the Eagles will be able to deal one of their quarterbacks -- Holcomb, probably -- to another team.

It has not been enough to get the deal done yet, but soon could be. The question now, as it has been for weeks, is when and how does Green get to Miami? There is little question Green will be quarterbacking the Dolphins this season, but the hangup in getting him there continues.

... system here, as it projects Jason Campbell as an outstanding QB prospect. That observation (that he did so well under the Lewin system) was far more intriguing to me than, say, Adam Schefter "Pro Bowl prediction" report. The Outsiders design their data systems for prediction, unlike the subjective pronouncements of JC's teammates or coaches or anyone else. Thus when FO projects X, you can know that is a founded and justifiable assertion (even if it proves wrong). I wish the guys at FO, who have been breaking into the mainstream at
