Romeo Crennel looks to get his first full season as Chiefs coach off to a quick start in a home matchup with Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

A replay of the entire call is now available by dialing 719-457-0820 and entering pass code 9948954 when prompted. Aikman on NFC Central: “Detroit is going to give Green Bay the biggest challenge. I like what they were able to do last year defensively. The year that Matt Stafford had was pretty amazing. The Bears were 7-3 when Jay Cutler went down and playing good football. Now, they bring in Brandon Marshall who he’s certainly comfortable with and has a relationship with. With Mike Tice becoming the offensive coordinator, the Bears’ offense is going to have a little bit of a different look but the Detroit Lions will be the team that challenges Green Bay although Green Bay is still the best team in that division.” Aikman on what to expect from Peyton Manning: “Wherever Peyton went, that team was going to immediately become a Super Bowl contender. His impact is so significant. They’re a contender along with about a dozen other teams. Realistically, this was probably a five-win team last year. I don’t think Peyton is 100%. He’s a 15-year veteran who knows the game and knows what he’ll have to compensate for what he’s lacking in arm strength. He’s going to put together a great year. I like the young players on the Broncos. When the goal is Super Bowl or bust, that’s hard no matter who you are or what team you’re talking about. If this team is not in contention in January I’d be really surprised.” Strahan on the distractions the Saints will have to overcome this season: “The field is your sanctuary, no doubt. If anybody can handle dealing with the displacement with Hurricane Isaac, the Saints can. They’ve been through this before. That part I worry about more than how the team is going to respond from the penalties or sanctions put on them by the league. Dealing with getting your families organized and worrying about your homes, neighborhoods and community is a lot more trying on the players than to get on the field and saying, ‘hey, it’s just us against the world.’ That actually gives the team, in a lot of ways, more momentum and focus on trying to have a better season than a lot of people give them credit for.” Pereira on whether the expanded use of replay shield the replacement referees from criticism: “As instant replay expands and puts the game more into the hands of the replay official, you insulate the officials to a degree but the area of judgment that is not reviewable is still a key area that is very difficult due to the speed of the game. The problems that they have been having in the preseason are going to be magnified when the regular season starts. The speed will pick up dramatically and it’ll be over 60 minutes instead of maybe just over a quarter. Pereira on what aspects of the game will be most challenging for the replacement officials: “The rules in the NFL are so complex that it takes years and years to master. I don’t discredit the people who are on the field now. They’re competent people at the level they have been working at with the set of rules that they have been used to working under. These rules are so totally different and so confusing which is why you end up with a situation like the Giants/Patriots preseason game where it takes five minutes to enforce a penalty or two penalties on a punt play. Administrative-wise, that is a concern. The regular referees make bad calls too, don’t discount that but with the regular referees you never questioned penalty enforcement or timing as an issue. That’s an area that’s going to be difficult for replacements referees.” -more- FOX SPORTS NQ&A – PAGE 3 NFL ON FOX MAKES GRAPHICS POINT – Football uniform numbers are not always easy to see from the side so FOX Sports is developing a graphics system that tells the viewer who’s who. “It’s a new way to identity players and we’ve used similar technology during our NASCAR coverage, using pointers to follow the cars. We’re really excited by this technology that tracks players on the field and follows them in real time where you can ID them in wide shots,” said FOX Sports Media Group President and Executive Producer Eric Shanks . Two banks of eight unmanned cameras are set up high in-stadium at adjacent 35 yard lines. The cameras track all moving objects and technicians identify and tag players by number. Once tagged, the system can generate the player’s name and place in a graphic, or “pointer,” that can be made to appear on-screen. Once on-screen, the pointer remains until removed. This new tracking system debuted during FOX Sports’ coverage of Hawai’i at USC last Saturday night and was developed in conjunction with Hego US and Sportsvision. Additional information, such as statistics, can also be inserted into the pointer. Hego US is responsible for the tracking system and interface, while Sportvision, the supplier of the yellow first down line, creates the graphics. “Rather than the old fashioned way of analysts drawing a circle on the guy beforehand, this is a better way to do it and more technically efficient way to do it,” added Shanks.

  • Gatorade® Recognizes Colorado Football Standout with Its National Player of the Year Award Byers Becomes First Lineman to Win in Award’S 19-Year History
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Gatorade® Recognizes Colorado Football Standout With Its National Player of the Year Award Byers becomes first lineman to win in award’s 19-year history Loveland, Colo. (December 11, 2003) – In its 19th year of honoring the nation’s elite high school athletes, Gatorade® Thirst Quencher, in partnership with Scholastic Coach & Athletic Director magazine, today announced Jeff Byers of Loveland High School in Loveland, Colo., as the 2003 Gatorade National High School Football Player of the Year. The award, which recognizes athletic achievement as well as the academic performance and overall character of its recipient, distinguishes Jeff as the nation’s best high school football player. The Gatorade National Advisory Board, a group of sportswriters and sport-specific experts from around the country, selected Jeff from the more than one million high school football players nationwide. Rated by many scouting services as the country’s top center, Jeff paved the way for Loveland’s running attack and did not allow a sack in three years as a starter. Defensively, he recorded 203 tackles in his senior season, 97 of them solo and 55 of them for a loss. In addition, he racked up 10 sacks and forced 14 fumbles, one of which he returned 75 yards for a touchdown in Loveland’s 50-0 state semifinal victory. Jeff capped off his high school career by leading Loveland High School to the Colorado 4A state championship, the school’s sixth overall and its second during his four years on the varsity. “Jeff is the rare individual who can absolutely dominate the game as a lineman.

The former NFL player and Super Bowl champion Strahan, has put Texas Southern University in the national spotlight as host of the NFL pregame show on Fox, co-host on ABC’s "Live with Kelly & Michael" and a member of ABC’s “Good Morning America” team. After starring at Westbury High School, Texas Southern University was the only school that offered Strahan a scholarship to play football. Focus, determination and hard work propelled him to be drafted in 1993 by the New York Giants. He would spend the next 15 years carving out a hall of fame worthy career that included a Super Bowl championship, a Defensive Player of the Year award, seven Pro Bowls, and breaking the NFL single-season record with 22.5 sacks. “We are extremely proud of Strahan’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” said Dr. John Rudley, Texas Southern University president. “This honor is just further proof that ‘Excellence in Achievement’ is more than a mantra at Texas Southern, it is a way of life.” Another Texas Southern alumnus Tony Wyllie, who currently holds the position of Senior Vice President of Communications for the Washington Redskins says, “I was prepared for this announcement because Mike is so deserving of the Hall.
