"He realizes now that this is it. We all know he's strong. He's all that kind of stuff. Now lets see it on the field. I think he's starting to show that. I just know he's going to be a big part of what we do and a big part of our success," Ryan said.
Mark Cannizzaro, of the New York Post, reports New York Jets LB Marques Murrell and LB Jason Trusnik could see more playing time while LB Calvin Pace serves his four-game suspension.

Chris Brown, of BuffaloBills.com, reports Buffalo Bills FS Jairus Byrd has a chance to start at free safety this season if he performs well during training camp. Save your fantasy season early and don't draft busts this year! Staying away from bust players can help you win in fantasy football, and having KFFL.com on your team helps. In 2008, KFFL.com told you to avoid Jacksonville Jaguars QB David Garrard while others were jumping on him as a sleeper option at quarterback. "Head coach Jack Del Rio might be looking for a low-key, game-managing quarterback as his starter, but game-managers are rarely associated with fantasy success." The results? 3,627 passing yards, 15 TDs, 13 INTs. KFFL.com's FREE Preseason Draft Guide can lead you to the Promised Land. Access it now....

John Harris, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers CB Ike Taylor said the team's disappointing performance after their last Super Bowl victory will help them not take the regular season for granted this year. "We remember how that felt and (are) trying not to let it happen again,'' Taylor said. "We have enough players on the team who went through it and have it in the back of their heads what it's going to take to have success."
John Harris, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers WR Santonio Holmes said he believes the Steelers will make the Super Bowl this season. "We're not wondering will we make it back, if we'll make it back. We look forward to going back to the Super Bowl," Holmes said.
Jim Wyatt, of The Nashville Tennessean, reports the Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with third-round draft choice TE Jared Cook on a four-year deal, according to sources.

Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears LB Lance Briggs is looking to lose around nine pounds before the start of training camp. He weighs 249 pounds and is looking to get down to around 240 pounds.
Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears LB Brian Urlacher said he would welcome unrestricted free-agent WR Plaxico Burress (Giants) but is not surprised that the team has pulled back in their pursuit since Burress could face a lengthy suspension. "My first thought with [Burress] was, would he even be able to play this year? You have to wonder how long you're going to have him or when he's going to be available. [But] he's a great receiver [and] I would have been open to it," Urlacher said.
Brian VanOchten, of The Grand Rapids Press, reports Detroit Lions DE Dewayne White is looking to get 10 sacks in the 2009 season. White said, "My goal is 10-plus sacks. That's the main one that I always focus on. If I do that, it'll help the whole defense, and we'll win some games." Know which players to avoid in your fantasy football draft Early mistakes can be costly! Having KFFL.com on your fantasy football team can make the difference. Last year, we told you banking on Patriots RB Laurence Maroney early was dangerous. "... Maroney's average draft position puts him at about 21st overall, quite a high price. He may still be a reasonable No. 3 back - especially late in the season - but drafting him in the second round is fantasy suicide, and he may only be a fantasy No. 4 at best early in the year." The results? 93 rushing yards, 0 TDs and a trip to Injured Reserve. KFFL.com's FREE Preseason Draft Guide can lead you to the Promised Land. Access it now....

Jake Luce, of Redskins.com, reports Washington Redskins WR Jaison Williams is hoping his size will provide him with an advantage in earning the No. 5 wide receiver position. Williams is 6-foot-5 and weighs 237 pounds. Williams said, "It's up to the coaches to decide how they want to utilize my size and stature. Maybe it's an incentive because most defensive backs can't be physical with bigger guys, so that's the benefit of being bigger."
Joe Cockrum, of DallasCowboys.com, reports Dallas Cowboys SS Gerald Sensabaugh will likely be the team's starting strong safety in 2009, because of his experience. Sensabaugh will be learning a new defensive system with Dallas.
The Associated Press reports a jury in the U.S. Virgin Islands has awarded Miami Dolphins LB Jason Taylor and two partners the return of a $1.5 million deposit from the botched sale of a private island.

The Associated Press reports a lawyer for former NFL QB Ryan Leaf says a fugitive action filed in Washington against Leaf has been dismissed. The Whatcom County prosecutor had filed an interstate fugitive case against Leaf after he was arrested by federal Customs agents as he crossed the border from Canada in June. Leaf was on his way to face burglary and drug charges in Texas. Leaf was scheduled to return for a July 16 hearing, but his lawyer said that hearing has been cancelled.
