NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 20th): Mike Holmgren turns down Seattle offer, Matt Ryan and Michael Turner questionable for Sunday, and more
Mike Holmgren Officially Turns Down Seattle Seahawks This wasn’t a surprise. Holmgren, formerly the head coach in Seattle, has been rumored to be very interested in the Cleveland Browns job, which entails more responsibility, and would have him working directly under the owner. Holmgren may be done with coaching, and now he wants a seat [...]
Oh, Peyton Hillis, Where Have You Gone?
Josh McDaniels lied. He said in the off-season that he would utilize any of Mike Shanahan’s holdover offensive talent, and that anyone that had the ability to help the team would be used in his offense. True, after the Denver Broncos started the season 6-0, there wasn’t much one could argue with McDaniels over. The [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 16th) Calvin Johnson likely out this Sunday, Jerricho Cotchery to miss week six, and more
Calvin Johnson Not Expected to Play in Week Six We figured so. The Detroit Free Press makes it almost official, but the way he was hobbling around all week, it was already written on the wall. The Lions still haven’t made a decision on quarterback Matthew Stafford, but without two of their star players, they [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 15th) Maurice Jones-Drew goes off, Correll Buckhalter back at practice, and more
(Has Willie Parker officially lost his job?) Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu Back to Full Practices This doesn’t mean they’ll play for sure this week, but it’s a good sign. The Steelers are likely to stick with the hot hand and give Rashard Mendenhall the majority of the carries, while it wouldn’t be a bad [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 10th) Eli Manning still questionable, Jerricho Cotchery not a lock for Monday Night, and more
(Cotchery’s hamstring could keep him out.) Eli Manning Participates in Saturday Practice This just means he would probably play if he absolutely had to. But since the rush attack is operating smoothly, the defense is competing at an elite level, and they’re facing the Oakland Raiders, there isn’t much sense in rushing Manning back. Still, [...]
2009 NFL Mock Draft (Updated: Feb. 20)
The combine gets underway in earnest this weekend, with drills upon drills upon drills taking place from Saturday to Tuesday, starting with the offensive linemen tomorrow and ending with the defensive backs on Tuesday. I thought I’d squeeze in an update ahead of the important stuff, but it goes without saying that what happens over [...]
The Good, The Bad, The Forgettable: Matt’s NFL Week 4 Awards
Week four had it all. Upsets, goal line stands, emotional moments, another direct snap for a rushing touchdown, an unsuccessful 76-yard field goal attempt, head coach firings, and a sighting of a nostalgic T.O. Some of this week’s upsets had a common theme, exposing shaky defenses. The Washington Redskins went into Dallas and upset the [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 4: Whose time is it to Shine, Who should Ride the Pine?
Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, [...]
