Inside the Huddle: Plummer bulks up
--
|
Saints coach Jim Haslett saw flashes of Randy Moss and Joey Galloway this month while watching first-round choice Donte' Stallworth dart downfield. On one play in practice, Stallworth raced 40 yards and looked back only to see an Aaron Brooks' pass sailing past him. Stallworth ran another 30 yards for the catch and the touchdown. Asked by Haslett why he looked back, Stallworth said, "He never had anyone overthrow him." So far, his record is in tact. Crediting Thomas
Eagles coach Andy Reid believes it's time for the league to acknowledge Tra Thomas as one of the best left tackles. Influenced by the aggressive style of right tackle Jon Runyan, Thomas not only punishes defensive ends in games but he buries teammates in practice. His development has given Reid more confidence running to the left side. Scouring NFL Europe
With NFL Europe rosters predominately filled by allocated players from NFL teams, there won't be a flood of free agents to sign. Two of the more interesting possibilities are former Packers linebacker Jude Waddy, who bounced back from a 1999 substance abuse suspension to star for Berlin, which on Saturday won its second straight World Bowl, and former 49ers safety Jason Moore, who had two interceptions for Barcelona. Comeback for Farr?
Former Rams defensive tackle D'Marco Farr recently visited the Titans to tape a TV story on offseason workouts for FOX, but the experience excited him enough to consider ending his one-year retirement. Farr is talking with a few teams, including the Titans, but his comeback is contingent on his knees passing a physical. John Clayton is a senior writer for ESPN.com.
