I've always thought Koppen was an above average starting center. Is kalil considered to be MUCH better? How is Kalil rated vs Mangold last year?
I ask because Pat Kirwan (among others) has us picking Kalil at 28. I personally don't know why we'd do that. I can't see either Kalil or...
What do you all know about Jackie Battle? Can he block? Catch? Run the ball? His numbers are NUTS!
University of Houston's Big back JACKIE BATTLE has caused a buzz after his stellar Pro Day evaluation (March 23rd). Battle, who came in at 6'2", 238 lbs, ran 4.41 / 4.38 in the 40 (low...
After reading this article on the basics of the 3-4 defense (http://football.calsci.com/DefensiveLine3.html), it sunk in that the 3-4 is great against the run but can be a liability against a fast passing team... and it occured to me that we haven't won a SB since our best corner left after...
This year's positional rankings seem much more variable than in years past, i.e. the standard deviation on players and draft position is high.
One prospect whose value seems to be all over the place is Marshwn Lynch. I see him rated as 11-13 talent, but falling all the way down to low 20s...
I'm always interested in how strong a particular year's draft class is reputed to be, but I find it difficult to find site's/experts who speak to this question. 2 years ago was supposed to be great in general, I think, last year was weaker in general. Of course, it varies by position each...
I've seen a couple of mocks showing the pats getting Brian Leonard.
It seems to me that he is sort of a clone of Garrett Mills. Both about 6' 1"-6'2" 235lbs Both quick, neither is fast.
I think people forget about Garrett Mills.
Garrett Mills was faster than Vernon Davis...
From his Conference Call 9/20 on Patriots.com
"... where do you rank Ben Watson’s play in the playoffs last season when he tracked down Champ Bailey?"
"MS: I think that it’s probably the best play that I’ve ever seen since I’ve been in the National Football League. That type of...
I've always bristled at accusations that the Pat's were cheap for not going after marquee players, since they spent on the middle class and depth players, but that ALL CHANGES IF THEY DON'T SPEND TO THE CAP.
There can be no argument that spending to the cap gives you a better chance of...
I didn't see the Steelers game but see that he only had 1 catch for 6 yards. That's not so good.
Did he play?
Were they quality yards :-) ? How did he look?
The three biggest plays of the game were made by 2nd tier guys. TBC and Davis were borderline on making the team in my mind. Just goes to show the value of depth.
TBC's play was the key to Warren's safety... but Warren made the play.
Hope to see more good stuff from TBC when Bruschi...
I read a thread earlier saying that some place had a bet where you could wager whether a team's record would be over or under a certain number of wins. (Pat's were 10.5, I believe).
I want to take that bet vis the pats. Any tips on how to do it? Do I pay up front and only get paid at...
I really doubt that either side is too worked up about this situation. It's just business and they are playing out their hands. Not real big stakes from the Pat's side as I see it - a holdout for 10 games is not big deal to them. Nor to Deion... as long as the Pat's offer is still available...
What do you think players/coaches think is the best week for a Bye week. I think I've heard NE coaches say that they want it to be far enough in the season for them to get a good amount of proof/disproof of their pre-season strategies. Is the later the Bye week the better? Of course it...
I'd like to get sort of a petition going to send to Corey Dillon.
I think the dude is a hard working, gifted, dedicated football player. Watching him come in and bring a pounding running game that lead up to the 2004 Super Bowl Win was the most fun I've ever had as a Pats fan.
He...
Let's just say we pick up someone with a 2nd.
We lose next years 2nd, but I presume that his salary is based on the draft position and this year's prices and that it counts against this year's cap, yes?
You're winning 24-21 and have the ball.
You're at the 50
It's 4th and 5
You can run the clock down to 15 seconds left before taking the snap
Your opponent has 2 time outs.
What do you do?
Two back set, one guy is a 375lb hammer-throw specialist, the other guy is a really tough little man (midget or jockey) wearing a strong belt. Hand off to the little guy, big guy grabs his belt, spins and chucks him over the line.
Gain of 5-7 yards every time.
You would need to have...
