    NFL Week 9

    how the hell did a 30 year old Willis McGahee wind up with a 60 yard td run? are the Raiders that coal black/bad on defense? He has only had like 4 plays over 50 yards on 1800 touches for his career

    NFL Week 9

    At least Woodhead is back in his old role. Welker is back out there, he would have to be paralyzed from the neck down to not play. There not really running plays suited to Woodhead's style, man blocking straight up the gut. Get some zone blocking, a stretch play, a toss play, get him space...

    NFL Week 9

    Seems like a ton of penalties. I said the other week, Ryan Clady is one of the most overrated offensive tackles in the league, but he was a first round pick. Not to mention he played at a pretty White program. Funny how none of the White linemen are good enough but a black guy on a Whiter team...

    NFL Week 9

    Woodhead is more involved this week as a 3rd down back, he got one carry, on 3rd and 1 when the box was stuffed, but his presence running routes has opened the passing game up, when he was out in the flat it allowed single coverage on Welker who got a 25 yard reception.

    NFL Week 9

    the other guy had 5 carries for 10 yards, and people are actually suggesting putting Hillis on injured reserve? If he comes back he could possibly save a few games for them. They thought they didn't need Hillis after beating the Dolphins and the Seahawks, reality just set in.

    Rex Burkhead!

    He was a good all purpose back for the Chiefs, had a couple of years with 1k from scrimmage, 4 with 1k all purpose, leading the league in all purpose yards in 1970, he had 40 tds but 42 fumbles, Burkhead hasn't had too many ball security issues. If I had to compare Burkhead to a White back it...

    NFL Week 9

    Brooks Reed with two sacks for today. He is quietly having a good rookie season. Chris was supposed to pick him up but blocked air instead on the other side. No surprise Hillis came in to pass block the other week.

    NFL Week 9

    Dear Bill Bellicheck, do you see Darren Sproles and his contribution to the Saints? you have a player on your team that can be even better than that yet you refuse to use him. He has almost 100 rushes/receptions in half a season, Woodhead had 130 for the entire season last year. Sproles has a...

    NFL Week 9

    Marecic can probably play tailback better than the Chris Obohoosehismama. He played linebacker as well as fullback so understands the position well and probably would have great vision. We have never seen it because his only runs have been fb dives. He can catch just as well.

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    on the plus side Zach Line has another 1,000 yard season and Burkhead is only 49 yards away. Nebraska was bound to be a one loss team, they will probably wind up going to a big bowl anyway since there are quite a few one loss teams, they aren't ready to a national title the way Martinez is...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    well the way I look at it is if dwfs consider him White and if we are counting Greg Salas as White then I will count Gaffney as well. Both probably have some native american blood down the line being from Cali, although its more noticeable with Salas. However, Gaffney has more of an Italian look...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Im not 100 percent positive but pretty much everyone on the board agreed he was White. He ran for over 2k his senior year in Cali timed at 4.4 and was listed as a fullback. He is tan but I didn't notice any black features.

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Tyler Gaffney has 12 carries for 56 yards and a td, only one less carry than Stephan Taylor. Hopefully this trend continues for the rest of the season into next year. I like Northwestern but I hope Nebraska pulls out a win here. Northwestern is just one of those teams that can play lights out...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Well there is Turner Petersen and he looks to be pretty damn good. Hopefully McGuffie can bounce back and have a great season next year. Ebert with an amazing run after the catch, 81 yards

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Turner Peterson is leading Rice in rushing with 71 yards and a td, a long of 44. I guess Sam is still hurt. Would be kind of cool to see a dual backfield with McGuffie and Peterson. Burkhead isn't getting much blocking and they are shutting down any option plays.

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Thanks, im glad you like them. I would recommend downloading them because you never know if they will take them down. Austin Cassidy with a nice pick, he looked like Tommy Z with his straight line speed out there, of course he was a walk on.

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    There are so many talented White high school athletes that its simply too many to keep up with since the recruiting services don't do them any justice. We miss out on alot, luckily some make it through and shine, unfortunately for every one there is probably dozens that that fall through the...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Zach Line with his 3rd rushing td for the day bringing him to 17 for the season, he has 119 rushing so far with a quarter left. They are stacking the box and hes having to fight for every yard, even though he hasn't gotten many carries. I think this is due to that their run plays are telegraphed...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    I doubt June Jones cares whether Line wins the Doak Walker award, he just wants to win games, otherwise Line would have gotten more carries when the passing game wasn't clicking, its only after multiple 3 and outs that he realizes that he has to run Line to keep the ball moving. He is going to...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Im going for LSU, they have a better shot at losing later on. Line breaks off a 22 yard run to give him around 72 yards for the day so far, just hit the 2nd quarter. He now has over 1000 yards rushing for the season.

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    Zach Line has been playing with a hamstring injury as well as a separated shoulder the past few weeks which makes his rushing totals even more impressive. This is what I don't get about the NFL, the rule for most coaches is if you don't practice (usually on Friday) you don't play. Zach Line...

    What the NFL doesn't want you to see

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203716204577015903150731054.html I would love to see game film from the NFL, to see who was supposed to be where, to analyze everything better, but it will never happen. I found this quote interesting which pretty much confirms what we have been...

    Peyton Hillis

    Andre Johnson is going to miss his 5th game for a hamstring injury, and most likely miss a 6th and won't come back until after their bye week which will have given him almost 2 months to recover. That is how you recover from a hamstring injury. A "minor" hamstring injury is what Arian Foster...

    Long Kelly Gregg Article

    Gregg in his prime was a top 3 NT. I think age and injuries have caught up to him, yet he is still better than most defensive tackles out there, some of these super hyped guys that came out a few years ago. Its not easy carrying 310 pounds on a 6 foot frame, yet he manages to do it without a...

    Caste Matchups Week Ten

    They also have Bjoern Werner who kept making plays. They kept talking about the other highly touted recruits on the dline but as far as play, he was the only one that stood out. Before the Boston College game he had 6 sacks. He was coming with alot of pressure and even had an interception. I...
