Woodhead is currently the 11th highest scoring RB in PPR fantasy leagues! While he is averaging the lowest YPC of his career ie. 3.7 (career 4.6), he has had a nose for the end-zone. Also, despite his size- he has been used a fair bit in short yardage bringing down his YPC. He leads the league...

I'm going to take back what I said ie. that I was rooting for a minor injury so Hillis would be signed (it was a joke that he was a FA-he's WAY too good for that) as long as it wasn't any worse than a broken ankle. Hillis is married to a preacher's daughter and would probably be VERY charitable-...

I'm not sure if LeGarette Blount and Brandon Bolden are signed for next year, but Shane Vereen and Ridley are signed for one more year. Leon Washington is getting old and was resigned after Vereen's injury. I'm rooting for a minor injury (nothing more serious than a broken ankle type injury)...

Wow, never would have guessed that Jones was part black. I remember some people were surprised that I picked out that Kris Humphries and some other H.S football player was part black right away (which seemed fairly obvious to me), but Jones looked really white to me. I tend to consider players...

You are right. He is faster than average for a WR at the combine. I wrote average speed for a "starting outside WR". He probably is even slightly faster than average than that for a guy his size. CB is the fastest position and it usually times about 4.5 flat at the combine (and mid to high...

Yes, these white WRs and RBs have to think before they sign with a team. It's better to wait or go to the CFL then sign with certain teams. Loser supposed "Republican" (an extreme political rarity in the NFL- as he was grandfathered in) -Woody Johnson- is owner of one of the most far left black quarterback...

Thanks for reminding me about Alfred Morris. He was a late pick (6th round) and had a big preseason and then unseated Roy Helu who is a pretty good back. Helu is a class act and friend to Burkhead. I even like the current Nebraska back Ameer Abdullah as Pelini seems to bring in non whiners/ race...

Jordy's on pace for his best yardage season, if he can stay healthy he's a top 10 WR in the league- 1/4 of the way through he's on pace for 92- 1484- 12 TDs.

Here are the numbers: Hartline has caught 25 of 39 balls (64.1%) thrown his way and still has a slightly better yards per catch than Wallace and he has 2 TDs. Wallace has caught 22 of 44 balls and has 1 TD although he does have a better longest catch. These guys could work well as a tandem...

I was wondering if either of my new threads could be articles. "Crush it" in preseason comes from the NFL network preseason commercial. It basically says you can build a winning fantasy team by late round sleepers who "crushed it" in preseason. Not if they are white though, as they almost always...

Hartline has been getting a lot less targets lately and it coincides with Wallace's reported whining after week 3. Wallace has 5 more targets now, but less catches and is catching exactly 50% of the balls thrown to him. Hartline has been the more reliable receiver.

Even with "Lawfirm" struggling with efficiency this season, Rex has zero carries. What else is new?

Black players who crush it in preseason get every chance in the world at playing time in the regular season. Just look at the case of Russell Wilson "3rd round pick" who came in after the high payroll signing of Matt Flynn. Or look at Colin Kaepernick who crushed it in preseason and questionably...

Here are two different cases of coaches that jumped from the college ranks to the NFL. 1. Chip Kelly FBS, Oregon: He had a black dominated team, but always had some white players who were key cogs to the Ducks success ie. Casey Matthews, Jeff Maehl etc. Usually had one white WR in the rotation...

Richardson's rookie season situation to find running room was more comparable to Hillis' monster 1st season in Cleveland. 4.4 YPC that year in Cleveland would equate to about 5 YPC in Houston and 5.5-6 YPC in Shanahan's old Denver. Hillis averaged 5 YPC, 5.9 YPC and 7.3 YPC in his starts for...

I recall this site talking about how the Broncos had 4 white WRs out of 6 or 7 in the late 90s or early 2000s (not sure which) -with Shanahan- when I first started lurking in about 2005 or 2006. I don't remember all the names, but Ed McCaffrey was one of them. Of course the NFL has moved even...

Created equal as "endowed by their creator". I remember Steve Sailor had an interesting point. He said people aren't all the same, just as races aren't exactly the same, even on opposite ends of Europe there are differences. There are minor differences for strengths and weaknesses based upon...

The most racist off-season and season in NFL history continues: I found a good rant on Yahoo on a "Matt Flynn cut" article. Let's see how long it lasts before the censors take it down. Truth is Pryor has looked pretty good and Flynn is probably overrated. That being...

Thanks bigunreal, It's certainly a theory, but I am pretty confident of some sort of cover up unless the team really made a 2 million dollar contract mistake by a medical misstep which I doubt. It may not have been a fight, but just a very hard hit when they were supposed to be in non-contact...

This seems VERY FISHY. Actually the fishiest situation I've ever seen with the NFL, EVER, in my years of following. I actually support a mixture of the two theories. Swope strikes me as smart the couple times I've heard him talk, so he very well may have been effected by not being able to...

It would be great if the 3-cone record holder in the modern combine era (Jeff Maehl) makes a contribution to the Eagles. I never considered Aaron Hernandez white as he looks like he has a little black blood in him (is his dad Puerto Rican IDK). And you know that even 1/8th black men in the NFL...

Thanks for the welcome back Don. I'm going to try to occasionally post this season. I just hope we get some good news this season to talk about, like we did in the 2010 season with Hillis and Woodhead.

That is surprising, that that is on the homepage. The media likes to blackout white RBs. I'd still much prefer if there was a Burkhead homepage story coming out of SI. I think Burkhead is the only hope for a new white RB getting carries this year and he will need all the exposure he can get...

It would actually be a fair comparison to say that Line is like a slightly slower, slightly less powerful, slightly less shifty version of Eddie Lacy. I think Line could have the effectiveness in this league of a guy like Jocque Bell in Detroit who has been effective. Actually, an announcer in...

Plus it takes time to research things. If we get our facts wrong, as occasionally happens, Maximus=Texas Tech (or some other guy who supports the caste system) will come in here and tell us we are wrong (even though I've caught him with misinformation before.) That is why I reposted, only with...
