Well, well, well, another week in the books and one more name gets crossed off the unbeaten list. Kudos to Seneca and company, Dallas is now offically the 'team-no-one-wants-to-play". Though I have to admit, this was a while coming for the Monarchs and their struggling pass rush, and now we know why. How much the loss of Reggie Hayward will affect them is still up for discussion, but Jarvis Moss now steps up in prime-time to make his XFL starting debut against the lone unbeatens- the NY Hitmen. Speaking of the Hitmen, NY made sure they kept their part of the bargain by smackin' Chi-town, 35-13. Joe Hamilton has found himself a home in NY, electrifying the crowd with his arm AND his legs. But when when your QB is your leading rusher, you run a big risk. The two teams making jumps this week are Dallas and Carolina. Oh and uh Coach Grimm,....you AND Off. Co-ord. James Lofton are now on the hot seat. Now to the rankings....
1. New York (5-0): for all the talk of how good the Hitmen D is, their offense ain't too shaby (3rd in points scored)
2. Kansas City (4-1): Must-win game for Monarchs, with both Memphis and Dallas breathing down their necks.
3. Dallas (3-2): Beating 3 previously undefeated squads gets you noticed. And Seneca Wallace may get the Dallas GM Executive of the year.
4. Orlando (4-1): Lynch still chuggin' along 501 yards in 5 games?
scary, and Stanton is proving to be very capable of running this offense.
5. Carolina (3-2): Ricky Ray rounding into XFL championship form.
6. Memphis (3-2): After this week's Dallas-Memphis tilt, we'll start to see separation in the XFL South between havs and have-nots.
7. Seattle (3-2): Slippery slope? 2 losses, following 3 wins. And LA is right behinf them.
8. Washington (2-3): Road has not been kind to McPhearson and the Glory. Bolts won't be either.
9. San Francisco (2-3): Ladies and Gents, we have a Shaun King sighting!
10. Los Angeles (2-3): They have a chance to bury the Outlaws for 2007 AND get back to .500. Talk about opportunity knocking.
11. Detroit (2-3): Defense still holding steady, despite so-so offense.
12. Pittsburgh (2-3): Slumping Reign coming into Heinz Field may be just what I-men need to rebound.
13. Washington (2-3): Where be the pass rush? No sacks and one QB pressure (Mills) all game? Not gonna win playing like that.
14. Birmingham (1-4): Seeing a trend here - 3 teams with no sacks and all three lost. Hmmm. But seriously, nine penalties are just not gonna get it done.
15. Las Vegas (1-4): Vegas had this game, but failed to show up for the fourth quarter.
16. Jacksonville (1-4): getting shut out by the Demons, who just last week got buried by the Outlaws, uncalled for. The fact that no team scored until the fourth quater, says all you need to know about the Bulls and Chris Leak.
