Six months ago, he was bouncing around at the bottom of NFL rosters, presumably unsure if he could continue to play this sport. After all, he had come out early for the draft a few years early, not because he had received a high grade from the draft advisory board, but because he needed to...

http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/realestate/patriots-star-rob-gronkowski-sells-south-tampa-mansion-for-2-million/2158751 Sold his Tampa Bay vacation home for half a mil more than what he bought it. Quoth Randall Gene Moss - "straight cash homey". Maybe he's not as dumb as he sounds...

Face the facts, people. This guy is a massive underperformer. I've watched 3 games and I haven't heard his name once. Not once! This guy's been on the roster for almost three seasons and he hasn't done anything. Can you imagine how much better Clay Matthews would be than Danny Aiken? Its damn...

Is this an accurate depth chart for the defensive line? RDE: Chandler Jones RDT: Tommy Kelly LDT: Vince Wilfork LDE: Rob Ninkovich 3rd DT for early downs: AJ Francis 3rd DE on early downs: Jake Bequette 3rd down Rush DT specialist: Joe Vellano (Armond Armstead when healthy) 3rd down Rush DE...

Inspired by the threat with a similar title, except instead of specific plays that have happened, lets talk about the plays themselves? Which ones do you find well-designed and effective? Which ones do you groan whenever you see the team on TV try and use?

This writer spent a lot of free time going through film of some of the league's better cornerbacks. He charts every single snap the players were in on, and whether or not they won vs. the receiver in coverage, even if the ball didn't come in their direction. It represents a lot of work and is...

Thought I'd share the list of guys I've watched that I want to see end up on the Pats this weekend. The distinctions between day 1,2,3,UDFA are fluid but it looks neater that way. There's also obvious positional bias, but that's more because I don't have the time to scout positions of non-need...

Hint: its not a total makeover. Look back at the '00-'01 offseason. The team as constructed then wasn't star studded, but Coach Belichick went out and got two missing ingredients, that helped the defense come into its own as a reliable and playmaking unit. 1) He brought in a stabilizing core...

Good read. Some of the stuff here really resonated with me. I am as guilty as many others for glorifying this dude. Ray Lewis’ glory story is haunted by killings - City & Region - The Buffalo News

Who's watching the football tonight? Looking forward to some good, old fashioned, fundamental laterals.

In another thread I saw the following quotation. Now, I do not mean to pick on the fellow who wrote it. But it has to be said that this is patently false. Lets stop for a moment and look at the teams we faced this season. -Miami plays Sean Smith at LCB, regardless of matchup. -Buffalo...

Its easy for the positives to get lost in the shuffle. Wendell was an ironman for us all season long, playing every single snap. He was the best interior linemen on the team in pass protection. Every time Ridley got 8 yards or so, Wendell was out at the second level, mauling somebody. And to cap...

...how the media is putting ZERO pressure on the Broncos and Peyton Manning? This is a team that got to the divisional round last season with Tim Tebow. Yet all we hear about in the press is how much pressure the Pats, Falcons, 49ers, Texans, etc. have on them to win this weekend. The media...

Most of the time, when a young player steps in and exceeds expectations, we see it coming. Dennard was one of the best corners in D1 football. Jones was a hot commodity on draft day, with athletic bloodlines and arms like vines. Deaderick was always seen as a guy with some NFL potential...
