So my Seahawks may have found a pretty good TE in Luke Willson. 6'6" 250 pounds and ran a 4.54 40. Just lit up the rookie defense in the rookie minicamp.

[luongo01]

Broncos had a pretty good draft although I'm pretty iffy on Kayvon Webster. College numbers and his play didn't impress me too much. Although he has good size and the Broncos may intend to use him at safety.

 

Also hoping that they sign Charles Woodson. Would really strengthen an average safety corps, as well as help provide coverage against some bigger tight ends.

 

And that Shaun Phillips signing is an absolute steal. 9.5 sacks on a Chargers team that had no one else on defence really and was always trailing. He's going to do real well playing opposite Von.

Thats the Rams new Tackle. Dude is 6'10" and 403 pounds for christ sake. If he's good at blocking then the rams have made a damn good move. Easily the biggest player in the NFL

[El Dildo]

yeah too bad the Rams have horrible play-calling on both sides of the ball.

 

until we replace some of the coaching staff, personnel changes won't mean sh*t for St Louis.

[The Hippie]

This is a little late but.....Charles Woodson is coming home! Silver and black baby!

They've had Jeff Fisher for one year... chill out man. This team definitely has potential, it's just a matter of when it will develop. Sam Bradford really needs to show what he can do this year, or there will be a lot of questions (if there isn't already) about if this guy is going to be a franchise quarterback. Losing Steven Jackson didn't help this year, but I really think they will be a playoff contender this year.

[tubbs51]

I dont think they're that bad. They did go 4-1-1 in the toughest division in the NFL. And two of those wins were against both the Seahawks and Niners. And Honestly as a Seahawk fan i'm more worried about the Rams than the Niners. The rams always play good against us no matter if its in St Louis or Seattle.

[El Dildo]

I'm not talking about Fisher.

 

I'm talking about the coaching staff.

O and D coordinators. they need to go. they're terrible.

[Jonesizzle]

It's Brian Shottenheimer's 2nd season as offensive coordinator, and Tim Walton's first season as defensive coordinator... so chill out man, give it time.

[El Dildo]

Shottenheimer is terrible.

 

the Post-Dispatch has a great article illustrating how he basically blew every single important goal-line playcall last season.

and I'll admit I don't know much about Tim Walton but we've had sh*tty defensive coordination (in general) ever since Mike Martz left the post.

[Jonesizzle]

When Shottenheimer ran the Jets offense he had the best redzone offense, it's just about when St.Louis will mature and develop. I'm curious who is going to carry the load for them this season.

[Funktipus]

RIP to Deacon Jones who passed away at age 74.

 

He was one bad a** mfer.....greatest DE in NFL history.

[El Dildo]

Deacon Jones never played for St. Louis but he was one of the greatest Rams of all time.

Looks like hes got real skinny legs. Hel'll break in 2 before their bye week

[Tracksuit Hitman]

I guess winning the Superbowl and Superbowl MVP can really make you rich.

That's basically what put a higher price on Flacco. He wouldn't be worth anywhere near as much as he is if it wasn't for winning the Superbowl and receiving MVP.

[El Dildo]

are you blind or just pretending to be ignorant?

[lazloisdavrock]

My boys get their Super Bowl Rings tonight!! its going to be Live on NFLN!!

 

Also, Flacco tied Joe Montana's playoff record with 11 TD's and no INT's . Would have been awesome if he got one more.

 

1100 Yards, 11TD's, 0 INTS, Lombardi and MVP. Joe's arm carried this team in the playoffs, our Defense was terrible all year with the 16th ranked overall. No more saying the Defense won our games. IF you continue to say that you either don't actually watch our games, or you don't know football.

He must truly be ignorant. Hes banned so that shows you something

Well, the Patriots are going to sign Tim Tebow. What do you all think about it? Granted that he makes Bill's final team, I cannot see Tom Brady coming off the field for Tebow.

[El Dildo]

I cannot see Tom Brady coming off the field for Tebow.

agreed.

 

with Tom Brady under center, the Patriots consistently have the top-5 highest red zone scoring percentages. every season.

replacing Brady in ANY potential scoring play is madness.

 

it sounds like they're bringing in Tebow as a legit understudy; an apprenticeship like the kind he never really got in Denver or New York.

aside from the occasional spread or special-teams play, I cannot imagine Tebow taking the field in Tom's seat.

 

I think Bill Belichik sincerely wants to groom Timmy.

remember it was Josh McDaniels who drafted Tim and McDaniels was basically Belichik's former apprentice.

[Funktipus]

The whole Tebow nonsense is much ado about nothing. He's coming in as the third string QB, and might even get cut before the season.

 

Like Gary Myers wrote today, once Belichick sees Tebow throw the ball over a few days, he'll say the exact same thing the Jets said - what were we thinking?

 

As WFAN's Mike Francesca said, this is about Belichick doing his buddy Urban Meyer a favor and giving Tebow a job because no other NFL team will.

What's the one thing RG3, Russell Wilson, and Colin Kaepernick had that Andrew Luck didn't?

A 1000 yard rusher @ running back.

 

 

 

Colts looking to extend their success this season by signing Ahmad Bradshaw. Along with Vick Ballard, the Colts are in pretty good shape @ the position.

[Funktipus]

Bradshaw was great for the Giants, but the injuries took their toll on him. Still, I wish him the best in Indy. Dude is tough as nails.

[Capricornus]

I am happy to see that we signed Ahmad Bradshaw. It obviously strengthens our running game, and with an improved Andrew Luck and a better o-line, we will be a pretty damn good team this coming season. I am eager to see how we improve on defense as well. I still want to see Vick Ballard get a good amount of carriers.

[tubbs51]

Seahawks might bring back Tavaris Jackson to back up Russelmania. I like the move. TJack is athletic and already knows Bevell's playbook and he's better than Brady Quinn.

That's the least of what you should worry about. It seems like your team has a problem with PEDs... It seems like cheating/breaking rules has been following Pete since his USC days.

 

Funk, "tough as nails."? Hasn't Ahmad suffered a injury which has kept him out multiple games for multiple seasons now? He is just injury prone back, and it's good Colts have decent backs like Ballard and Brown, because Bradshaw isn't a carry the whole load type of back. Still a really good pickup regardless, if they even had a good running game last year they would've made it farther in the playoffs.. easily.

 

I wish my Cowboys would do one smart off-season move this year and try to go and pick up Vonta Leach. Excellent fullback who will improve anybodys back-field with his blocking skills alone.

[Funktipus]

When Bradshaw was on the field, he was tough as nails. Like Michael Irvin said, he runs 'hard' - doesn't tiptoe to the LOS like Brandon Jacobs did at times. And he was solid at picking up the blitz, something I'm worried about with the Giants young backs.

 

Victor Cruz signed a 1 year tender - glad that's out the way. Our defense looks shaky though.

[Xboxless]

I am so excited for next season.

 

JJ Watt will push for another great season. Andre will finally have some help from DeAndre who seems to be doing rather well at picking the offense up. He might actually have a decent year for a rookie WR.

 

What really needs to happen is that right side of the O-Line needs to get fixed. Though it looks like it might not with tackles Derek Newton and the rookie Brennan Williams both injured throughout OTA's. Hopefully they can get good quick in TC.

 

It's looking like it will be another good season but I really hope the Texans made the right moves to get even further. This team is nearly good enough to win a superbowl.

 

I am so excited for JJ Watt next season. I don't see any reason why he doesn't push for DPOY again though having a better season than last year will be hard. That season was special for him and probably one of the best seasons a Defensive lineman can have.

Last season, I expected the Texans to further in the playoffs, but the Patriots were a bad matchup for them. Have they solved those issues?

 

Just heard Giants legend Dave Jennings passed away....RIP

 

 

You guys hear about this homicide investigation involving Aaron Hernandez? According to WFAN's Mike Francesca, he hasn't been cleared of being a suspect yet. Wow....

So, did Hernandez shoot that guy or what? The body was found near Hernandez' home.
