Irons, who began the season with the UFLs Florida Tuskers, played in 20 NFL games for theAtlanta Falcons from 2007-08. Myers is huge at 6-foot-7, 318 pounds, and he comes from the ArenaLeague.

CULPEPPER SPREADING THE BALL AROUNDSacramento quarterback Daunte Culpepper has completed 70-of-119 passes for 760 yards, sixtouchdowns and two interceptions through the first three games. He has spread the love so far asCory Ross (17 catches, 128 yards), Rod Windsor (12 catches, 163 yards, three touchdowns), TayeBiddle (12 catches, 183 yards, one touchdown), Otis Amey (nine catches, 101 yards) and Joe West(six catches, 86 yards, one touchdown) have all put up solid receiving numbers. Amey sat out theOmaha game with a sprained ankle but he is set to return against Las Vegas.

WINDSOR CONTINUES TO FIND END ZONEMountain Lions receiver Rod Windsor leads the team with three touchdowns. He scored twice inSacramentos victory over Florida on Sept. 25 and followed that up with a 47-yard touchdown grabin a loss at Omaha on Oct. 2. Windsor caught four balls against Omaha and led the team with 67yards receiving. Windsor was a star at Western New Mexico State, catching 81 passes for 1,118yards and six touchdowns as a senior. He was the quarterback the year before, leading the team inboth passing (1,361 yards) and rushing (886 yards). Windsor then starred as a receiver in the ArenaFootball League before joining the Mountain Lions this year.

BOUNCING BACK FROM A BYEMountain Lions quarterback Daunte Culpepper enjoyed having a week off but he was ready to gowhen practice started on Monday morning. I got to spend a lot of time with family during the byeand now Im ready to get back into the football groove. Teammate Cory Ross, Sacramentos starrunning back, didnt mind getting a week off after suffering a head injury during the Oct. 2 nd loss toOmaha. The bye week was really good, Ross said. Had a lot of relaxation and lots of healing . . .And getting a win after coming off of a bye week is always important.

SACRAMENTO GROUND ATTACK HASNT TAKEN OFF The Mountain Lions have combined for just 146 yards rushing on 63 carries through three games.Hartford held Cory Ross and the Sacramento-ground attack to 35 yards on 20 carries and Floridaheld the Mountain Lions to 54 yards on 21 carries. Sacramento then gained 57 yards on 22attempts against Omaha. Ross has rushed 40 times for 83 yards this year and he leads the team inreceptions with 17 (for 128 yards). That was also the league-high mark for receptions when theMountain Lions entered the bye week.
