So, the Eagles manage to lose to the Pats by only three points, and the sports media is abuzz all the next week about how they established a "blueprint" to beat the Patriots...
...a couple weeks later, the Eagles actually do manage to topple the 12-1 Cowboys, and the folks in the sports media...
He's been a healthy scratch the last two games. He's been reportedly participating fully in practice, but has somehow managed to slip behind Baker and Merriweather on the depth chart.
Did he not take losing the starting spot well?
Dre Bly was never considered a shutdown corner. Even if he were, it wouldn't matter. There never was or will be a corner in the NFL who can cover a receiver playing behind Denver's pass-rush-less front 7. If the QB is comfortable enough in the pocket, eventually he will find a window...
...and we all get an extra hour to sleep in on Sunday.
This year, it just means a whole 'nother hour to wait before the biggest game in the history of foreverness.
Most sites have situational stats for players broken down by quarter, but I can't find anybody that does it for the whole team.
Basically, I'm looking for an easy way to see what the Pats' play-calling in the 2nd half has been like for the season, in terms of % rush and % pass.
In an article in today's Providence Journal, Ben Watson tells Jim Donaldson that if Vrabel gets to come in on offense and catch the occasional touchdown, Watson should get a chance to line up on defense and rush the quarterback:
The last few years, the Pats have done something a little goofy...
During yesterday's FOX broadcast, Johnson had the following exchange w/ Barry Switzer and Terry Bradshaw: [text per Bostonsportsmedia.com]
Meanwhile, over on CBS, Dan Marino was expounding on his opinion of the practice in question:
My questions are:
1) Where does Marino think Jimmy...
I've noticed that in a lot of threads about Asante Samuel's contract, the idea is frequently floated that $7 million dollars should be enough for anybody, and that Asante Samuel is just "greedy" for wanting more.
Most people will never see that kind of money in their lives, this is true...
per the NFLPA Calendar:
Basically, what this says is that if anything is going to happen with Asante, if he's going to be extended or traded or what have you, it needs to happen by July 14th, 4pm. Previously, before the new CBA, this is around when teams were just being allowed to start...
Pretty much the same way they've handled the Stallworth/Washington Negotiations, by including a "prove-it" year in 2007, after which the team can opt out with no cap liability.
Basically, offer Samuel a contract in which the first year's base salary is the same as his franchise tender -- with...
On SI today, Don Banks supplied yet more damning evidence connecting Vick's to the dog fighting ring being run on his property. Although the jury is technically still out on this one, it's hard to imagine there not being more evidence of Vick being up to his neck in this thing than there was in...
The posters on the ESPN.com message board make Red Sox nation look like the worst fanbase in pro sports. It's all a bunch of Shaugnessy wannabes who like to s**t on any and all slumping players, whine about every managerial decision, and pat themselves on the back about how much smarter they...
The NFL's year-long suspension of Pacman Jones was a public relations move, clear and simple. Whether we agree with it on an moral/ethical basis or not, we all must admit that the NFL's main objective was to send a message to the fans that the league is doing what it can to curb what fans...
On the surface, everything seems rosy: the NFL is competitive and more popular than ever before. The salary cap hasn't prevented teams like the Patriots, Colts and Eagles from consistently fielding elite teams, yet has allowed teams like the Saints, Chargers and Panthers to rise suddenly from...
Per Reiss, the Pats have let Thomas keep his old number, 96, from the Ravens.
The last two players to wear that number for the Pats (Jonathan Sullivan and Rodney Bailey) were flops who never played a down for the team.
As reported by Deadspin.com here.
Seriously... between his contract w/ the Colts and the bajillion dollars he must be making doing ads, the guy should be able to afford a raging junk habit while cutting his heroin with solid gold, and still not be hard-up enough for cash to do something like...
A Seahawks fan posted this over on the ESPN.com Patriots message board... if there doesn't turn out to be an explanation for it, than it could have some serious consequences:
