NFL Week 11 Preview: Emotional Returns

• Seeing Green. Center Casey Weigmann will have a familiar pair of hands nestled against his taint on Sunday as Trent Green returns to the Chiefs lineup. I personally felt like the job should've been Damon Huard's, as he's been playing so well. Now you've got an older quarterback coming off a major head injury who has to step in and try to continue what the other guy was already doing pretty well. I'd be tempted to take the Raiders and the points this week if the Raiders weren't, you know... the Raiders.

• Perfection Goes Through Parcells. This week's speed bump on the Colts road to a perfect season (and hopefully the return of Lil' Ronnie) will be the Dallas Cowboys. This game also marks the emotional first game against his old team for superstar kicker Mike Vanderjagt. I think we'll all be following that story pretty closely. A lot of people seem to think this will be the week that the Colts stumble. I don't think I'm one of them.

• Wait 'Till We Get Our Haynesworth On You. This week also marks the return of Albert Haynesworth to an NFL field. Hopefully, those anger management classes are working, and he can manage to go a few hours without maiming someone today. The Titans are playing the Eagles today, so at least if he does maim someone, no one will really mind.

• The Steelers And Their Noggins. It doesn't seem like there are many Pittsburgh Steelers left that haven't had significant concussions lately. Troy Polamalu will be taking the field this week despite his history with concussions and the fact that he suffered another one just a week ago. The Browns are playing better football than most people realize, and if the Soiled Hanky of Fecal Matter is ever going to take off, it's going to be today.
