<img src="http://www.thecfl.net/images/pressman/lang.JPG" width="175" height="302" alt="Toothpick Lang" title="Toothpick Lang" align="right">It may have been the first preseason game, but [bbeec8e7]Toothpick Lang[/bbeec8e7] looked like he is in the best shape of his life. Lang was traded from the Cleveland Flats to the Boston Panthers during the offseason after three seasons where he only had 3 100+ yard games and 7 TDs total. Today he rushed 29 times for 169 yards, including a 64 yard TD run. He helped the Panthers dominate the defending champion Denver Dynomite: the final score was only 17-10 but Boston rushed for 318 yards as a team while holding Denver to 59 rushing yards.

In other action, the Detroit Vampire's #1 overall pick, QB [bbeec8e7]Johnnie Titone[/bbeec8e7], played the whole game against the Las Vegas Rounders and finished 16-42 for 121 yards, 1 TD, and 6 INTs. Detroit lost 20-17 in overtime.

The Oregon Ice offense got off to a poor start against the Charleston Monitors, allowing a safety and a 79 yard fumble return in the first quarter to put them behind 12-0. But [bbeec8e7]Thomas Kuhn[/bbeec8e7] and [bbeec8e7]Matt Brunner[/bbeec8e7] led them back to a 28-25 victory. Kuhn finished with 373 passing yards, with 174 of them going to Brunner.

Tight end [bbeec8e7]Erich Frazee[/bbeec8e7] scored Arizona's only touchdown in a 24-16 loss against Cleveland, but later suffered an ACL injury to his knee and is expected to miss the entire 2008 season.

Tampa Bay QB [bbeec8e7]Maurice Brown[/bbeec8e7] threw for 247 yards and 4 TDs in a blowout of the Seattle Thunderbirds, 28-6.

Hey, it's actually not that bad.
Plus, it's only preseason and he played mostly with the 2nd string O-line and was under pressure all day long.
