OK, grabbed three quick packs for now. Noticed something else on the checklist too–they actually label Cards 1-150 as “Commons” on the checklist. How annoying is that? Even Beckett doesn’t classify ALL 150 as just commons–there are also your stars, your semi-stars, and your minor stars.
Anyway, into the cards:
Pack 3:
#85 Jerricho Cotchery
#43 Roy Williams (WR)
#142 Carnell Williams
#108 Jake Delhomme
#133 Nate Burleson
OK, nothing great in this pack at all. Burleson was another on the checklist that I was surprised was there–I guess he had an ok season, but one of the top 150 deserving of a card? And why is it that only Carnell Williams gets his nickname on his card every year? Or is his legal name Carnell “Cadillac” Williams? And if it is, how stupid is that? (Not very, compared to Chad Johnson apparently trying to legally change his name to “Ocho Cinco”…)
Pack #4:
#28 Michael Strahan
#60 Dallas Clark (Gold? #026/250)
#10 Rex Grossman
#68 Ted Ginn, Jr.
#26 Deuce McAllister
Would it kill you to fill us in on the parallels on the checklist Donruss? I’m sure I can find it online, but why include them if you can’t use them? Also, while I’m ranting–is it really a checklist if it doesn’t have the little boxes by it? There’s nothing to check…
Pack #5:
#99 Ray Lewis
#229 Ryan Torian #236/250
#49 Greg Jennings
#7 Chad Johnson
#65 Larry Johnson
First rookie of the box–Torian might have had a chance to play some, given Mike Shanahan’s penchant for rotating in a new RB every year–but he fractured his elbow in practice, and will miss at least 3 months.
