Mon, Aug 18, 03 "Herbert Goodman and Kelly Holcomb among many former NFL
Europe League stars to shine in NFL preseason action!" Myk Aussie
From Neil Reynolds Public Relations Manager NFL Europe
Goodman touchdown double leads Pack to victory;
Holcomb wins starting QB position in Cleveland
FORMER Scottish Claymores running back HERBERT 'WHISPER' GOODMAN enhanced his
NFL chances this weekend as he scored two touchdowns to help the Green Bay
Packers record a 38-31 victory over the Cleveland Browns in preseason action.
Goodman, who led NFL Europe in rushing as a member of the Claymores in 2002,
rushed for 80 yards on 19 carries and scored on an 8-yard run. He also led
the team with 4 catches for 56 yards and found the end zone for a second
time on a 13-yard pass from Akili Smith.
Packers head coach MIKE SHERMAN said: "We sent Herbert to NFL Europe to
gain
valuable experience and he looks a very strong running back right now."
Green Bay running backs coach SYLVESTER CROOM added: "Herbert played very
well. Now he has to go out and do it again next week. He's running much
stronger than in previous years and he's a more powerful player than before
he went to NFL Europe."
Browns' quarterback KELLY HOLCOMB was outstanding in a losing effort and was
rewarded by being named the team's number one passer for the upcoming
season. Holcomb (Barcelona 1996) completed 7 of 10 passes for 166 yards and
2 touchdowns, connecting on scoring strikes of 82 yards to William Green and
14 yards to Steve Heiden.
Holcomb said: "I always believed deep down I could be a starting
quarterback
in the NFL. I always knew in my heart that I could play at this level if I
was given the opportunity."
Quarterback CRAIG NALL (Scotland 2003) was also in action during the game
and completed 3 of 5 passes for 37 yards.
In addition to Goodman, another four players with NFL Europe League
experience scored touchdowns in this weekend's preseason action -
Philadelphia Eagles tight end KORI DICKERSON (Frankfurt 2003), New York Jets
running back JOHNATHAN REESE (Amsterdam 2003), Kansas City Chiefs tight end
DWAYNE BLAKLEY (Rhein 2003) and Denver Broncos quarterback JARIOUS JACKSON
(Barcelona 2001).
Jackson was one of a handful of NFLEL quarterbacks to shine this weekend. He
completed 5 of 9 passes for 56 yards and carried 4 times for 15 yards and a
touchdown as the Broncos recorded a 15-10 win over the Chicago Bears.
Safety NICK FERGUSON (Rhein 1999-2000) led Denver's defensive effort with 8
tackles, while linebacker DONNIE SPRAGAN (Amsterdam 2001) added 4 stops.
Running back MAURICE HICKS (Scotland 2003) rushed for 10 yards on 5 carries
for the Bears and also returned a kickoff 24 yards. Wide receiver EDELL
SHEPHERD (Scotland 2003) led Chicago with 2 receptions for 57 yards.
In Jacksonville, Miami Dolphins quarterback JAY FIEDLER (Amsterdam 1997) saw
his first playing time of the preseason and looked sharp, completing 7 of 11
passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. However, the Jaguars came back in the
second half to record a 27-23 victory as QUINN GRAY (Frankfurt 2003)
completed 5 of 12 passes for 50 yards.
Running back DAVID ALLEN (Berlin 2003) rushed for 23 yards on 8 carries for
Jacksonville, while wideout MATTHEW HATCHETTE led the team with 4 receptions
for 46 yards. Kicker JAMES TUTHILL (Rhein 2001) landed a 21-yard kick and
also added an extra point.
TODD BOUMAN (Barcelona 1999) was another quarterback in fine form as he
helped the New Orleans Saints to a 22-17 victory over the New York Jets.
Bouman completed 9 of 13 attempts for 81 yards and threw a 6-yard touchdown
pass to Boo Williams. Performing well for the Jets was Reese, who scored on
a 1-yard run and carried 6 times for 11 yards.
In Cincinnati, JON KITNA (Barcelona 1997) led the hometown Bengals to a
23-10 defeat of the Detroit Lions by completing 10 of 15 attempts for 90
yards. Lions running back AUTRY DENSON (Rhein 2003) carried once for 7
yards, caught a team-high 7 passes for 35 yards, returned 2 kickoffs 51
yards and 2 punts for 20 yards.
One quarterback to shine in a losing effort was Minnesota Vikings passer
SHAUN HILL (Amsterdam 2003), who completed 11 of 13 passes for 66 yards and
a touchdown during a 26-16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Blakley scored a touchdown for the Chiefs, while wide receiver DANTE HALL
(Scotland 2001) caught 2 passes for 15 yards and returned 2 kickoffs for 68
yards. JOSE CORTEZ (Amsterdam 2000) kicked a 46-yard field goal and an extra
point, while linebacker MIKE MASLOWSKI (Barcelona 1999) recorded 3 tackles.

all the teams is really excellent and that has been shown on and off the field.
These kids are really enjoying themselves even in the middle of a tough
competition.
"The European teams have really fared well in this tournament and I feel a
little sorry for the Netherlands as they had a great chance to be world
champions but were pitted in a very tough group. The Europeans are very
competitive and could beat any team on any given day, proving the gap is closing
