NFL Europe
Tough defense was punctuated by some big offensive plays as the six NFL Europe League teams participated in game condition scrimmages at Skyway Park in Tampa.
The action marked the second of four days of team scrimmages before the teams cut their rosters to the 48 players who will make the trip to Europe for the 2006 regular season, which kicks off on March 18.
Here are the highlights of the day's contests:
Amsterdam Admirals vs Rhein Fire
Amsterdam quarterback Gibran Hamdan (Seattle Seahawks), who won a World Bowl ring with the team last year after starting the first four games before a season-ending injury, was in good form, connecting on 11 of 14 passes for 96 yards, including a touchdown. Skyler Fulton (Seattle Seahawks) continued his good camp with 3 catches for 47 yards and a score, while Craig Bragg (Chicago Bears) caught 4 passes for 32 yards. On defense, linebacker Phil Archer (San Diego Chargers) and Tony Brown (Carolina Panthers) had sacks, with Kevin Timothee and Marvin Ward (Minnesota Vikings) posting interceptions.
Rhein quarterback Drew Henson (Dallas Cowboys) hit on 3 of 5 passes for 33 yards, with Chris Samp (Carolina Panthers) catching the eye with 3 receptions for 61 yards. Running back DeCori Birmingham (San Francisco 49ers) gained 28 yards on 4 carries. Derrick Strong posted the Fire's one sack of the day.
From the quotebook
"It went well. We still have a lot to work on but we are starting to get the kinks out. A lot of guys haven't played for four or five months and we are progressing well. By the end of camp we will be ready," - Rhein Fire tackle Mike Kracalik.
"This was the first time in live game conditions and I think as an offense we can definitely improve. There is no winning or losing in these scrimmages so it is good when things come up that you have to talk about. The most important thing was the chemistry we showed out there," - Amsterdam quarterback Gibran Hamdan
