Tim Tebow


For the past couple of weeks Florida Quarterback Tim Tebow has been refining his ball handling skills and giving himself a complete makeover before his Pro Day in March. Tebow will not be throwing a football during this weeks NFL Combine workouts.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter he has been working on a 3 and 5 step step drops that have improved his passing ability and ball security. A far cry from the spread offense he played in Florida .

If he has become a better NFL quality QB then the future looks pretty bright for Tebow, currently he was looking at maybe being a third round pick but if he can impress some folks in March then he may bring up his stock to being a first rounder.

Super Bowl Notes

February 8th 2010 22:57
Reggie Bush



- First I would like to congratulate my home town team for finally winning its first super bowl!

- After missing out in the Giants Super Bowl and being released like garbage I was glad to see Jeremy Shockey have himself a great game.

- I was amazed how well the Colts receivers did that were not named Reggie Wayne. Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie combined for 132 yards and 11 catches. Not bad for a rookie and a 2 year man in the Super Bowl.

- After all the negative headlines congrats to Greg Williams and his defense for stopping the Indy high powered offense.

- Overall it was a great season for rookie head coach Jim Caldwell. He's gonna have a great tenure in indy and many more Super Bowls to come.

- Congrats to Sean Peyton. Better Known for sleeping on coaches watching film and one of the brightest offensive minds in the game . He helped turn around a team that had never gotten to a Super Bowl.

- Poor Peyton Manning as his record in the post season drops to 9 -9.

- I hope Reggie Bush enjoyed his time in the big easy because he wont be there next year.

- i can't believe how well Dwight Freeney played the first half. He played with the heart of a champion.

- Congrats to the MVP Drew Brees. he truly deserves this after all the up and downs he's had in career. How funny that he wins his Super Bowl in the city that passed him by.

2010 NFL Mock Draft Picks 11-20

February 4th 2010 23:07
Dez Bryant


Ok lets get right to it. Here are the next ten picks.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State - So im not giving into this whole Tim Tebow is gonna safe the Jags. Sorry but he isn't that good folks. On the other hand, Dez Bryant is the wide out that can make game changing plays. He is the deep threat that the so badly need. He should give the Jags a one two punch that should give the AFC something to worry about.

12. Miami Dolphins - Taylor Mays S USC - I get that the Dolphins need a wide out BUT!! You can't pass on a player like Taylor Mays. He made life impossible for Pac-10 offenses and he's transition to the NFL will be flawless. This is what the team needs, a defense that matches up with its offense which is looking better and better every year especially Chad Henne.

13. San Francisco 49ers - Anthony Davis OT Rutgers - He may be young but his 6' 6 315 pound frame will more than make up for his age. He's one of those college kids with an NFL body and should make the change to the pros very easy. He should help the 49ers pass protection which was one of the worst in the NFL.

14. Denver Broncos - Carlos Dunlap DE Florida - Back again in the first round are the Broncos. This time they go with Dunlap to make that scary Denver D line that much younger and faster. Alot is riding on the defense to maintain its ways now that Mike Nolan has left town.

15. NewYork Giants - Brandon Graham OLB Michigan - Graham is the one of the top linebackers in draft and is going make a strong impact in the NFL. He led the Wolverines in sacks or tackles every year. The Giants need some youth in an aging linebacking crew.

16. Tennessee Titans - Golden Tate WR Notre Dame - im really not sold on this pick but the Titans need some help at wideout. Tate led the Irish an all receiving categories and is one of those to go guys they need. He has the ability to be one of the top receivers in the NFL.

17. San Francisco 49ers - Jonathan Dwyer RB Georgia Tech - Dwyer was one of the scariest running backs in the ACC. Combined with Frank Gore the combo should be deadly.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers - Mike Iupati OG Idaho - Whats new in the new in the steel city, they need to keep Big Ben safe. Iugati was one of the best football players to come out of Idaho. He did have some injury issues but he should be able to be a force in the NFL.

19. Atlanta Falcons - Earl Thomas S Texas - Thomas has made a great change to safety. Though only a red shirt sophomore hes ability speaks for itself.

20. Houston Texans - Jahvid Best RB California - The Texans need a running back that can take the attention off the passing game. Best ran for over 4,000 yards in his time for Cal and had 35 TD's to go with it. He's a legitimate threat that they need.

2010 NFL Mock Draft PIcks 1-10

February 4th 2010 21:53
Eric Berry


Its my second favorite time of the year (first being opening day in baseball for those who care about what it was), which is getting ready for the NFL draft! This is the time of year where I dig deep for my inner Mel Kiper to give my best insight on what I think is gonna happen in New York in April. Now this is using up to date Scouts Inc information on every one thats available now. Also I had to break it up into a couple parts because its so dang ole long. Let us Begin.

1. St Louis Rams- Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska - Ok so no big surprise here who was gonna go first. Coach Steve Spagnuolo needs to build a defensive like he had in New York. Having Suh in the middle and 3rd year man Chris Long should help a run defense that was awful all around. Yes i know they need help at QB but its a deep draft and they get that in later rounds.

2. Detroit Lions - Eric Berry S Tennessee - I was torn here between was more important, D-line or Secondary. With Berry you get not only the best safety in the draft but you get a leader in the defense. Last year they got the face of the franchise and of the offense, well now they give a face to the defense. The lions are doing a great job drafting smart in the draft and this no exception.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma - The Bucs are getting the second best defensive tackle in this years draft. He will be the anchor to a defensive line that has shown very little ability to stop the run or get pressure on the quarterback. He brings size and quickness that will make him one of the bright stars of the future.

4. Washington Redskins - Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma - I don't care what anyone says Bradford is still the best quarterback in this years draft and maybe last years draft. Regardless of his injury he still is the franchise quarterback that Mike Shanahan needs in an organization that needs to turn things around. They have been underachieving for years and the folks in D.C are getting a little tired of not having a winning football team.

5. Kansas City Chiefs - Russell Okung OT Oklahoma State - If the Chiefs offense is gonna improve under new coordinator Charlie Weis they need to keep Matt Cassel off his rear. Okung will help build that offensive line that needs to start improving on pass protection and continue establishing the run game.

6. Seattle Seahawks - Joe Haden CB Florida - Pete Caroll has got his hands full in the cold pacific north west, needless to say you aren't in southern California anymore. Helping a young D would be a shut down corner like Joe Haden. The line will improve on its own but Haden gives them a leader in the secondary that got scorched last season.

7. Cleveland Browns - Rolando McClain MLB Alabama - This is by far my favorite player in this years draft. McClain by far is the best defensive player in my opinion, he is the next Ray Lewis. He will turn around a defensive that could't even stop me. Mike Holmgren would be a fool not to take him.

8. Oakland Raiders - Trent Williams OT Oklahoma - Ok raider nation relax for one second. i know you have gotten burned with bad O-linemen in the first round but you need it. Trent Williams will help the running game tremendously and protect who ever will be under center. I believe the Raiders offensive will be explosive next year. Book it.

9. Buffalo Bills - Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech - Bills fans start getting this name in your brains. Morgan is one of the best defensive ends that I've seen in college in years. He quickness off the end is second to none, he will be raising hell in the NFL.

10. Denver Broncos - C.J. Spiller RB Clemson - What a shock! The Broncos getting a running back!? Josh Mcdaniels needs to have a balanced offense that last year fell right flat in it face. Spiller brings speed to Denver that many say is the second coming of Chris Johnson, we shall see.

New Era In Green Bay

September 3rd 2009 17:20
Packers
It was only two years ago that the Green Bay Packers were one game away from the Super Bowl. What followed was nothing but a total headache. Once the Brett Favre soup opera had passed the spotlight was on one Aaron Rodgers.

All he did was throw for 4038 yards and 28 touchdowns. Not bad for someone taking over for a legend. He led the eighth best offense in the league. He has returning weapons Donald driver, Greg Jennings, and Donald Lee. From how they have played in the Preseason they should pick up right where they left off. Now the defensive side is a different story

It is now confirmed, Tom Brady will undergo season ending surgery on his left knee. Speculation says it is a possible torn ACL, but behind the Iron Belichick Curtain we won’t know for some time exactly what it is. This breaks Brady’s streak of starting 128 straight games, the third longest streak for a quarterback.

Football Storylines for the Season

September 2nd 2008 23:54
As we get closer to the NFL season, we must look at a few storylines that are going to develop overtime and why these could be significant in more ways than one. It could be a fortune told on where the teams future stands. We can expect some teams doing better than anticipated and likewise being worse as well.

1) Can the New England Patriots rebound after nearly getting perfection? The answer right now is yes they will be fine. I don't see a perfect year happening but it can be overlooked if they win the Super Bowl of course. 16-0 is a very difficult to pull off and New England did it once, I just don't see how they can do it twice
