This solution at least would encourage more teams to try to score a touchdown on that opening drive of overtime rather than get close enough for a field goal.I think if anything would work (and be better than any of those), it would be to just play out an additional quarter, but with a “mercy rule” where if one team gets up by nine or more points, the game is over. He looks like a running back in the NFL, making chip blocks in pass protection and running a lot seam routes and underneath stuff.As such, I think he’d be a great fit in any scheme that can also deploys its running back like another wide receiver (which should explain the interest from Notre Dame, USC, Purdue, West Virginia and Pitt).He’s a mid-sized prospect at running back, clocking in between 5’10″ and 5’11″, 200 lbs.

The Seminoles are starting from scratch after fielding one of the worst defenses in the conference last year. In the Yellow Pages, you let your fingers do the walking.When it comes to fantasy football, you can let your chinstrapninjas do the surfing.As the rest of the collective football world slowly wakes up from its Super Bowl stupor and thinks it is safe to turn its attention to college hoops and fantasy baseball, this becomes one of the best times for fantasy football dynasty league owners to morph into stealthy ninja form and take their opponents by surprise.Some consider early-offseason trading in dynasty leagues as fantasy suicide?you don?t know what to expect from offseason moves and the NFL rookie draft.However, with careful calculated projections and predictions, this can be a perfect time to strike a deal that could catapult your squad to fantasy prominence not only in 2010, but well beyond.As I discussed some potential deals in my own dynasty league, I was disappointed in how few other sites and resources were far-sighted enough to start providing solid dynasty rankings for 2010.Sure it?s early, but then again, you need some items in your fantasy tool belt if Johnny Trade-a-lot springs a multi-player blockbuster deal on you.It would be easy for me to provide you with my position-by-position dynasty rankings, and while I feel pretty confident in my personal list, I didn?t develop it until after doing a good deal of research and checking out similar lists on other sites.So, for the best dynasty rankings all in one convenient location, I developed the following complete early 2010 dynasty quarterback rankings , scoring in similar lists from fftoolbox, rotoworld, dynastyrankings.blogspot and footballdiehards websites.This composite list includes my personal ranking (in parentheses before each name), each QB?s current team, age and (after the name in parentheses) the composite scoring from the four sites above.Check back soon for similar rankings at each of the other positions. 1. RT: It’s that age old question that I’m sure drivers even in the future will be asked. Catcher: Dan WilsonRunner Up: Dave ValleDan Wilson is the cream of the crop in a very weak group of Mariner’s catchers.  Wilson was good offensively but made his money as the favorite signal caller for many of the M’s pitchers. First Base: Tino MartinezRunner Up: John OlerudMartinez wasn’t allowed to fully blosom as a member of the Seattle Mariners but his skill was undeniable.  Before Tino went onto stardom in the NYC he was a key part of turning the franchise around. Second Base: Brett BooneRunner Up: Harold ReynoldsA bit of speculation about Boone’s steroid use tempers this pick but with out hard evidence you can’t deny Boone this slot.  His combination of power and defense made him a big time impact player for the M’s.  Joey Cora needs an honorable mention.Third Base: Adrian BeltreRunner ups: Mike Blowers and Russ DavisThe third base position has always been a problem for the Mariners.  I was tempted to put Chone Figgins in this slot but decided to put the underrated Adrian Beltre in this slot.  Beltre was much better offensive player then publisized and was superb on defense.  Also note the pick is not Edgar Martinez because to me he is a DH.Short Stop: Alex RodriguezRunner up: Omar VisquelEven though a lot of people forget his 6 season as a Mariner Alex Rodriguez put up great numbers in Seattle.  Many forget that Rodriguez was a huge threat to steal bases in Seattle and was a better defensive short stop before he added all of the bulk.Outfield: Kenny Griffey Jr.Outfield: IchiroOutfield:Jay BuhnerRunner ups: Mike Cameron and Franklin GutierrezThis was pretty easy with the three big named icons. Griffey, Ichiro, and Buhner were all not only offensive forces but gold glove winners.  The margin is pretty wide between these three and their competition.DH: Edgar MartinezRunner up: None. Edgar Martinez is a class all his own.  He is the greatest right hand hitter I have ever seen.  His feel for the stike zone and patience at the plate will make a a great example for young hitters for years to come.  Besides how can you go against the guy who the postions award is named after.Starting Pitcher: Randy JohnsonThe big unit isn’t as beloved in Seattle as he should be but is easily the best left hander of his generation.  He was an intimadator and a true ace.Starting Pitcher: Felix HernandezSome might say it is to early to annoint the King I have seen enough of Hernandez to know what he is all about.  His combination of age(23) and skill is unpresidented and the Mariners are lucky to have locked him for the next 5 years.Starting Pitcher: Freddy GarciaEven though he struggle with injuries after leaving the Mariners I will never forget “The Chief” and his years as the ace of the M’s staff Starting Pitcher: Jamie MoyerWhat else can be said about Jamie Moyer that hasn’t already been said.  Moyer has gotten more out his guile and change up then any other pitcher in the history of the game.  I wouldn’t be surprised if pitched until he was 50 years old.Starting Pitcher: Mark LangstonLangston was a bit before my name but the stats speak for themselves.  Add the stats to the fact trading him got you Randy Johnson Langston had to be includedCloser: Kaz SasakiThis was a hard one for me because Seattle hasn’t had much luck with longevity at the position. The Washington Wizards have had a disappointing season so far.
