Oakland, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2008

SLB Ed Hartwell has regained his health and is set to solidify the Raider’s LB position. He has played MLB and could get a shot there on the Raiders’ squad moving Kirk Morrison to the SLB position. The 6’1″ 250lbs. free agent has good lower-body strength, takes excellent pursuit angles and is known for reacting quickly.

With all these factors in place, Linebacker coach Don Martindale states; “Instinctively this guy has not lost a step. He has brought his toughness to the team; which has spread throughout our LB meeting room. This guy is everyday tough! A true veteran; who wants everyone around him to get better.” He goes on to say; “In the National Football League or in College Football something that has always separated Ed from other Linebackers I have coached. You don’t have to watch him play because you can hear him play!”

In Ed Hartwell’s own words; “Becoming an Oakland Raider means more to me than just getting back on the field. It’s a chance to play for the best franchise in football history. It has the best fans that any sport has to offer, a great cast of talented players & coaches, a legend as an owner, one of the best (attack style) defensive coordinators in the league in Rex Ryan, and most of all I get to be reunited with the best coach I have EVER played for Coach Don Martindale. I vow to do everything in my power to bring another Superbowl to Al Davis and the Raider Nation.”

As you prepare to make your NFL betting online wager on the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans on Thursday do not expect to see plenty of star players on the field.

The New Orleans Saints do not have anything to prove and their starters will not play much if at all. Tennessee is not likely to risk their star competitors either so the NFL betting outcome of this contest will come down to the backups.

NFL betting online odds at the online global sports books will most likely favor the Tennessee Titans when this game gets moving. The Tennessee Titans are at home and they’ve got a sound backup quarterback in Kerry Collins. With Patrick Ramsey and Chase Daniel getting playing time, the New Orleans Saints have an appealing backup quarterback situation also.

Who Comes to Play? – When you look at the 4th preseason game you actually have to ask which squad is going to come to play. The New Orleans Saints have no incentive to win this game. They’re on the road with the Vikings up next week in the year opener. The Titans could want to put on a show for their home fans so they could have a little more incentive.

This would be an simple play on Tennessee if the New Orleans Saints didn’t have such a quality competition going on for the backup quarterback position between Ramsey and Daniel. The problem with betting on Tennessee is that the Saints can score points with Ramsey and Daniel. The Titans are still going to get some action in this game in sports gambling odds though because they’re at home and considering the New Orleans Saints aren’t playing their starters.

The Tennessee Titans would like to get the victory so they conclude the year at.500. The Saints are already 2-1 so getting a victory is not that critical. Staying well is what is vital for the New Orleans Saints in this game.

Parlay: The Tennessee Titans and the Over may be the way to go with an NFL gambling parlay in this game. Tennessee has a little more incentive to win the game and both teams have quality backup quarterbacks who can put points on the board. The public will most likely take the New Orleans Saints basically considering they want to see them getting points, but the value is likely with the Tennessee Titans at home.

Playing with Purpose: Inside the Lives and Faith of the NFL’s Top New Quarterbacks

can someone tell me why you think nba draft picks have a better chance at playing closer to their hometown than the nfl draft picks?

Anyone think we can start a petition asking the NFL – and other sports as well – to require traditional singing of the National Anthem, or out of respect to the nation and the song not sing it at all?
