    When enough is enough

    You are right, it aggravates me to hell to only see one and sometimes no white men on defense, but I do sleep better at night knowing that the token white guy is almost always the best player on the defense. I mean, look around; Weddle, Watt, Kuechly, Matthews, Allen, Ninkovich, Lee, among...

    NFL Week 15

    If he is allowed to develop/play, I can see him being a 10 sack/year guy in the near future. Bront Bird is another guy to look for in a couple years. He could be another Scott Shanle/Ben Leber type player if given the opportunity (Solid starter, team leader that can hang around for a few...

    NFL Week 15

    Von Miller is strictly a one-dimensional pass rusher. He's useless in coverage and well below average against the run. For some reason, I see him fading out in a few years like Merriman.

    Black QBs in the NFL

    Remember back when Vick was in Atlanta and supposedly had no one to throw to? Remember how Roddy White was an underachieveing 1st round nobody his first few years in the league? Enter Matt Ryan, then White becomes one of the best receivers in the game. When Vick went to prison, I guess White...

    Black QBs in the NFL

    Yes, isn't it funny how offensive lines that were widely considered among the best in the league; 49ers, Jets, Bills, Panthers, are now suddenly described as terrible? Funny how the Eagles were always considered to have a bad o-line, now might send 3 of its members to the pro bowl?

    2013 white starters down from last year

    Do you guys think Dallas gives Matt Johnson another shot next season? He was slated to be the starting FS, but for the second year in a row, suffered a season-ending injury in the preseason. I agree, Heath has looked pretty good at times this season. Can't really blame him. The guy gets...

    NFL Week 14

    Sure didn't take the Bears long to send Craig Steltz back to the bench. After a 12 tackle performance last week, Steltz was relegated to special teams in favor of Major Wright, who amassed an impressive 4 total tackles, and wiffed on at least another three. It is a crime that Steltz isn't...

    NFL Week 14

    Pretty solid week: - Hillis, Woodhead and Gerhart all scored touchdowns! Some token runs for Leonard too. All are still criminally underused too, but I'll take this. Hell, I half expected Hillis to be inactive. - Nice receiving games by Nelson, Cooper, Decker, Hartline, Edelman, Welker...

    NFL Week 14

    I just don't understand the Chargers, the more Woodhead is involved, the better the offense plays, yet, his role continues to diminish as games become more important. and Tom Coughlin is just an idiot. Hillis is clearly his best option at RB, yet he continues to feed the ball to Andre Brown...

    2013 white starters down from last year

    As far as black safeties go, you see several average to poor starters retain their jobs year in and year out (Brandon Merriweather, Tyvon Branch, Patrick Chung, Morgan Burnett, Barry Church, William Moore, etc.) I guess I'm assuming Sendejo will be judged objectively and treated...

    NFL Week 14

    Until it costs him his job, which is usually the case with black quarterbacks. Its usually the coach that pays the price. God forbid someone criticizes a black quarterback, or worse, benches one. I just wonder what is going through the heads of some of these coaches... Said it before, and will...

    2013 white starters down from last year

    IDK, I think Allen, Robison, Greenway, and Smith are all safe as far as starters go defensively. Sendejo has been pretty solid; not great, but not bad either (making him miles better than Sanford and Raymond). Sometimes that's all you need at safety. Audie Cole looks like he should've been...

    Black QBs in the NFL

    Agree 100%. -Geno Smith shouldn't even be in the league. Period. -The whole Pryor thing was a joke in Oakland. -Griffin, by and large, looks like back-up material at best. -EJ Manuel certainly hasn't given any reason to be excited about the future in Buffalo. -Jason Campbell is much better than...

    NFL Week 14

    Still trying to figure out why they didn't resign Barrett Ruud in the offseason. Ruud filled in pretty nicely last season when Cushing went down. Man, that would've been a nice ILB duo to start the year. Its beyond criminal that Ruud doesn't have a job right now, meanwhile, we have to watch...
