(9/12/2006) — A strong exhibition season is no guarantee of success. The Fairfield Sharps, unbeaten in the preseason, quickly lost their momentum in the season opener against the Roxymorons.
It looks like Donte' Stallworth will fit right in at Philadelphia. Stallworth's debut was outstanding with a 42-yard score and 141 yards receiving. Tiki Barber looked sharp in the opener, rushing for 110 yards on 18 carries and pulling in 5 receptions for 61 yards. Looks like Tiki may be ready for another big yardage season. Terrell Owens found the end zone on an impressive 21-yard reception late in the game. TO appears to be ready to make amends for last season's fantasy woes.
"You never want to say anything negative about your opponent," Roxymorons coach Anthony Your said with a wink. "But the Fairfield Sharps has a lot problems right now. They will be better later in the season."
Donovan McNabb didn't waste any time proving he recovered from last season's disaster. McNabb through for over 300 yards and scored on strikes from 5, 31, and 42 yards out. Larry Johnson racked up the yardage (68 yards rushing and 80 yards receiving), but he was held scoreless. It will be interesting to see how Johnson does on the ground with KC's questionable line. Maybe this will be Kellen Winslow's year to shine. Winslow scored on an 18-yard reception and finished with 8 catches for 63 yards.
"I'm fully confident they'll come out and fight and play hard," Fairfield Sharps coach Kris Traenkner said. "We've just got to eliminate the things that are costing us the games." |
