    NFL Preseason 2015

    If it were a fair league, Woodhead, Hillis, Gerhart, Line, Leonard, Burkhead, John Kuhn, and Anthony Sherman would all be starting tailbacks right now. And you could probably add a handful of others that were swept under the rug over the years...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Did anyone catch the Atlanta game? Was wondering if Kroy Biermann, Brooks Reed, and Paul Worrilow all started on defense. Also, does Jacob Tamme appear to be the favorite to start at TE?

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Game Notes Manziel looks like he's finally come around. I don't know if he has done enough to take the job from McCown by week 1, but I'm sure it will happen eventually this season. Cousins again looks terrific, and clearly better than RG3-13, who coincidently now has his excuse for 2015...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    They're going to be sad to watch this year, as usual. However, I'm anxious to see how Ben Heeney progresses, and if he's able to compete for a starting job this year. I noticed that Khalil Mack started at DE the other night, so that would leave an opening at LB. Heeney was outstanding Friday...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Notes from the game: Obviously, still very early, but here are some observations. The good: - Audie Cole started at MLB, and was in on virtually every play. Had a forced a fumble with a nice hit. Tipped two passes, unfortunately, both were caught by the receiver for big gains. Rookie Eric...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    I agree, Mayo can't stay on the field, and Collins and Hightower have become two of the most overhyped players in the league. I think Hightower is a very good blitzer off the edge, but other than that, has no game. And while Collins is a decent starter, he'll make like 6 tackles, and ESPN will...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    I can't believe a team actually signed this idiot, particularly the Redskins, who are set at OLB, with Kerrigan and Murphy. All this is really going to accomplish is taking reps away from Trent Murphy. Galette is simply a situational pass rusher, who will likely be suspended anyway, so he...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Get ready for more of this league wide... It's going to get to the point where when any black player gets cut or traded, or any white player gets signed, you're going to start seeing players, media, and the DWFs who love them, start to question the integrity of the coaches, which is hilarious...

    NFL Preseason 2015

    Defensive Position Battles As we move into Training camp and the preseason, here are some position battles on the defensive side of the ball we should watch for. Arizona: Josh Mauro- I can see Mauro as either an OLB or a DE. His competition at DE will be ageing veteran Cory...

    2015 Philadelphia Eagles

    Heh, never mind, apparently the Eagles have moved longtime cornerback Walter Thurmond to safety to compete with Earl Wolff. This will likely ensure neither Maragos nor Prosinski get a real chance to take the SS spot. Who knows though, maybe one of them will shine in camp, and come out on top...

    2015 Arizona Cardinals

    The Cardinals figure to be a team to avoid in 2015, unless several unlikely things happen: - Carson Palmer returns to 100%. Unfortunately, the last time Palmer suffered a major injury, it took him nearly five seasons to return to his top 10 form; in fact, one could argue he struggled to be a...

    2015 Atlanta Falcons

    Projected Defensive Starters: First off, I'm not terribly sure if the Falcons will run a 3-4 or a 4-3. They appear to have the personnel for a 3-4, but every site I've seen has them running a 4-3. Last season, Kroy Biermann and Paul Worrilow were the best and most productive players on...

    2015 Philadelphia Eagles

    Defensive Starters We know Kiko Alonso and Connor Barwin will give opposing offenses nightmares in 2015. But what about some of the other guys on this defense? Is Bennie Logan really starting caliber? 0 sacks last season. Why not try Beau Allen at DT? I think Allen has a very good shot at...

    Toby Gerhart

    I know we've seen it time and time again, so it's hard to be positive, but I really feel Gerhart is going to get another shot at starting. I see Rotoworld has already anointed Yeldon the starting job, and Robinson the backup, and to be sure, Jacksonville is going to give those two every...

    White Linebackers

    I've followed Solomon as well. The Titans had another very impressive DE/LB on the roster when they drafted Solomon. Does anybody remember Dave Ball? He had a few good seasons in Tenn. then suddenly disappeared. Under Jeff Fisher, the Titans seemed to always have a handful of white...

    White Linebackers

    So according to Mark Sessler of NFL.com, AJ Hawk will not start in Cinncinatti. Apparently, Emmanuel Lemur will start beside Maualuga and Burfict. It's probably just a propaganda piece, because he certainly doesn't go into much detail. Funny thing is, I would say Hawk is capable of taking the...
