For the record, the primary benefit to having long arms is that it allows the defender with the long arms to be able to create space between himself and the offensive player which allows the defender to disengage from blocks easier and in some cases never allow the blocker to gain any advantage...

Re: Ty Warren Cut ! Warren will not be back. By cutting him, the remaining portion of his signing bonus kick in and is due this year. His salary was only like 3 Million this year. They only save a couple hundred thousand dollars by releasing him this year. Miguel's UNOFFICIAL 2011...

Re: OT: Steve Smith wants out of Carolina I wouldn't be surprised if he gets released. In his prime he was probably the toughest reciever in the league, a great deep threat and willing to go over the middle. He has had no quarterback for the last 3 years, and gets doubled every game. He is a...

It was not a summary of the positions job, it was a comment on big play potential per position.

Here is what it comes down to. When a guard makes the best play he can make he opens a hole for a running back for an 8 yard gain that continues a drive. When a OLB/DE makes the best play he can make he sacks the QB for a 10 yard loss with a strip sack that changes field position or...

Just to be clear, everyone understands that franchising Mankins means the Patriots have to pay him the average of the top 5 Offensive Lineman in the NFL, not just Guards. There is no differentiation between Offensive Lineman.

The thing that is over inflating the pay scale for Mankins is that the putting the franchise tag on a an offensive lineman, makes you pay him the average of the top 5 Offensive linemen in the league. All offensive line positions are simply not the same. Order of importance: LT C RT...

Look, the bottom line is that we want Mankin's to be on the team going forward, but you simply cannot have a guard be one of the highest paid players on your team. That position does not warrant such a lofty salary. There are other positions that can affect the game more than a guard and that is...

Mayo and Guyton bring a dimension to the Patriots defense they have never had, big time speed. The thing that makes them special is that they are both over 240 lbs, but can still run. I found this about Guyton in an article from Mike Reiss after they signed hime as a free agent. My question...

I am not going to say it was not frustrating at times watching the Defense play last night, but let's not forget that the Jags Offense was #6 in scoring in the league this year. If you take the last 10 meaningful games the Jags played, they were averaging 32.4 points a game. They also scored...

The Patriots have played and beat the Jags 3 times over the last 5 years. In none of those game did the Jags system, scheme, talent, coaching etc ever threaten the Patriots. The closest game the Jags played was last year, and if anyone remembers the only reason that game was even close...

FYI...Atlanta did not have the #1 pick in the draft they had the #5 and traded for it with San Diego who also did not have a QB at the time coming off the Ryan Leaf debacle. Instead they trade the #1 to Atlanta for the #5 and Tim Dwight (obviously questionable there) and wisely select Ladanian...

We have come full circle. This years media circus has been unbelievable. The hatred and jealousy of the Patriots I believe is way beyond anything any other major sports team has had to suffer including the Yankees and the Cowboys of the 90's. To start the year the Patriots are called...

Watching the best offense in the history of the league put up 40 points a game sure is boring. It's not what happens during the games, its what is said about the game after it is played that makes the NFL the most popular sport that it is and keeps those ratings high. I honestly don't even...

Cartman without question ! Who can possibly take that guy seriously. Only in Texas I guess. I was living in Colorado when he got the Broncos job and I remember he gave like a big "YEA !" with his cheesy and chubby trademark fist pump that he does at the press conference when he was...
