Kevin Roberts’ Week Six NFL Power Rankings
(I’m right behind you, little brother.) We learn something new every week. And quite frankly, as entertaining and enlightening as it has become, I’m almost sick of saying it. It’s like we’re back in the second grade. Everything is new, evolving, bright, and shining. The simplest of things can send us into awe these days, [...]
Is going back to Derek Anderson the right choice for Cleveland?
These days, the “golden boy” just doesn’t look that golden, anymore. Last year we saw Brady Quinn’s first go-around as the starter leave the Cleveland faithful with a bittersweet taste in their mouths. They saw what he was capable of in a 239-yard and two touchdown effort against the Denver Broncos. And then they saw [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 30): Barber in, Jones out vs. Denver, Anderson to start at QB for Browns, Saints OT Brown out for season, and more
Marion Barber Expected to Face Denver Considering how badly he wanted to play on Monday night, this isn’t very surprising. Throw in the fact that Felix Jones is hurt, and it’s downright predictable. ESPN’s Michael Smith reports that Barber may be “eased” back in, and may not actually start Sunday’s contest with the Broncos, but [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 18th) Gonzalez out until week 8, Kolb to start if McNabb can’t, and more
Colts’ Anthony Gonzalez Eyeing Week Seven Return Whew. Peyton Manning and Gonzalez owners can breathe a collective sigh of relief. While it’s great news that Gonzalez is officially coming back in 2009, losing him for the next six weeks hurts the Colts offense. Not to mention leaves a hole in your receiving corps. If you [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 10): Quinn named Cleveland’s starting QB, Patriots WR Welker practices, Philly’s Westbrook on touches limit, and more
Brady Quinn Named Cleveland’s Starter This is fairly old news, despite not being totally “official” yet. Eric Mangini would wait until week 17 of this season if he could, but Derek Anderson’s body language and short press interview told it all. The golden boy wins again, and is a decent start against a Vikings defense [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 4) – Another offensive coordinator gets the boot, Vick to play in Week 3, Stafford to start for Lions, and more
NFL Quick Hits isn’t a new title or a new theme, as it’s a universal concept taken up by hundreds of writers across the nation. However, my version brings you updated information on injuries, position battles, and position battles, the kind of info that you can only find if you dig around for. Don’t waste [...]
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Bottom 16
Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go [...]
NFL Coaching Changes: First-Year Predictions
Before NFL teams gear up for the summer and head into pre-season battles, let’s take a look at the fresh faces around the league, and gauge what we can expect from them. Will we have the pleasure of seeing another group like Mike Smith and Matt Ryan, or John Harbuagh and Joe Flacco? Those pairs [...]
Will Brett Favre Be A Viking If He Returns?
If he does play again, will it be in a dome or on grass? Will he be throwing passes under the sun, or against gusts of wind and snow? Will he be in a different shade of green, or jump boldly into purple? There are plenty of questions surrounding the recent news of Brett Favre’s [...]
Broncos strangely barking up the QB trade tree…again
Am I the only one who finds a little amusement in the fact that the Denver Broncos have approached the Cleveland Browns about a trade for Brady Quinn? The fact that Quinn has even been on the trade block (and Cleveland’s open lusting for USC’s Mark Sanchez) is rather curious in itself, and something to [...]
