March 22, 201214 yr They're probably handling this right, though. Giving a long-term deal to a guy who is already 26 is usually not a good idea at the running back position. Especially now that he is coming off a knee injury.
March 25, 201214 yr Jake Scott and Philip Wheeler visited Miami on Saturday. They would be very good acquistions.
March 25, 201214 yr Author Ochocinco taking 2 million less to try & play for the Pats... ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Chad Ochocinco has agreed to reduce his 2012 base salary from $3 million to $1 million. The move keeps Ochocinco on the roster for now, but making the team is no guarantee. Brandon Lloyd is locked into the starting lineup alongside Wes Welker, leaving Ocho to compete for a spot with Deion Branch, Matt Slater, Julian Edelman, and newcomers Anthony Gonzalez and Donte' Stallworth. After seeing limited snaps down the stretch in an offense that uses the fewest three-receiver sets in the NFL, the 34-year-old will have his hands full.
March 26, 201214 yr Author Rex says Tebow could play up to 20 snaps per game... And I really wouldn't be surprised if he takes over the starting role at some point during the season. In an NFL Network interview Sunday, coach Rex Ryan suggested Tim Tebow could play up to 20 snaps a game in the Jets' Wildcat package. It's roughly a third of a game's projected offensive snaps, and sometimes more depending on time of possession. As Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger notes, 20 snaps is more plays than the Jets ran the Wildcat all last season. The Jets are intent on running a Wildcat-heavy offense, so we wouldn't put it past Ryan and Tony Sparano to get Tebow regular snaps and touches. Mark Sanchez won't be happy coming off the field so often.
March 26, 201214 yr Jake Scott and Philip Wheeler visited Miami on Saturday. They would be very good acquistions. I mean he was a multiple time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl MVP, but he's like 60 or 70 years old now!
March 28, 201214 yr Author Colts owner Jim Irsay indicated Tuesday that Stanford QB Andrew Luck is not a foregone conclusion as the No. 1 pick in next month's draft. "It's up in the air," Irsay said. "We have to look at this thing completely open-minded. You have two outstanding athletes, two great pure passers, two guys from families that are incredible." It's hard to fault Irsay for taking his time when there's no longer a consensus that Luck is the top prospect. By committing early, the Colts could lose negotiating leverage and a chance to read the Redskins' cards at quarterback.
March 28, 201214 yr Gotta keep the people talking. Hell, PFT's first mock draft had RG3 going #1. Seems like many are overthinking the Luck vs RG3 debate.
March 29, 201214 yr Author Nike suing Reebok...Interesting lawsuit. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/7746905/new-york-jets-nike-sues-reebok-tim-tebow-jerseys
March 29, 201214 yr Author New Rule: From now on all turnovers will be reviewed from the booth without a coaches challenge. Other rules changes: A team will lose a down for illegally kicking a loose ball; too many men on the field becomes a dead-ball foul; and a player receiving a crackback block is now considered a defenseless player and the play will result in a 15-yard penalty. http://espn.go.com/n...novers-ot-tweak

March 29, 201214 yr a player receiving a crackback block is now considered a defenseless player and the play will result in a 15-yard penalty. Fantastic rule.
March 31, 201214 yr Author Woah...What happened to his self confidence? And seriously, I know it might be wrong for me to say this as I'm not Christian, but all these talks about G-d during interviews is seriously really annoying. Cue SNL. Tebow told 1050 ESPN Radio on Friday that he's "not sure" if he'll ever be a starting quarterback again, and that thought doesn't even concern him right now. "I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future," Tebow said, referring to his strong Christian faith. "That's something that has always given me peace and comfort. That's why I don't have to worry about the future. I can just worry about today and worry about becoming better as a football player and a person." http://espn.go.com/n...arterback-again
March 31, 201214 yr I liked his answer. Also, if Tampa Bay drafts Richardson, that should be one hell of an offense.
April 5, 201214 yr Author Wow. Big news. Should lose his job & get kicked out of the NFL IMO. Yahoo Sports' Michael Silver has obtained audio of Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams instructing his defenders to physically injure 49ers offensive players during the clubs' 2011 playoff game. The audio was captured by filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who was doing a documentary on former Saints S Steve Gleason in his battle back from ALS. Gleason was on the sideline during the game. Williams speaks of dealing 49ers QB Alex Smith a "remember me" shot, re-injuring 49ers PR Kyle Williams, and hitting 49ers RB Frank Gore in the head during pileups. Williams wanted WR Michael Crabtree to suffer a debilitating injury. "We need to decide whether Crabtree wants to be a fake-ass prima donna or he wants to be a tough guy," Williams said. "We need to find that out, and he becomes human when you [expletive] take out that outside ACL."
