Is Al Davis Just Messing With Tom Cable Because He Can?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Oakland head coach Tom Cable will be retained, and at least for now, appears set to coach the Raiders for the 2010 season. Despite rumors that team owner Al Davis was pursuing possible candidate for the past week and a half, the Raiders brass appears to have abruptly cut-off [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 16: Favre and the Vikings Should Get Back on Track
Most leagues are gone and forgotten by this time of the NFL season, but somewhere out there, fantasy football still reigns in the hearts of fierce competitors. And for those mighty few that set their line-ups in a frenzy and in great worry, we here at The Red Zone Report are still working hard to [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it’s first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it’s march for perfection. While the top two spots remain [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 16th): Bengals’ Chris Henry in critical condition after fall, Pery Harvin still missing practice with migraines, Dwayne Bowe is back, and more
Chris Henry Sustains “Life Threatening” Injuries Henry has reportedly sustained injuries to his head and is in critical condition. Henry apparently was involved in a domestic dispute and jumped into a moving pick-up truck, and then somehow fell out of the back of the truck. There is no clear report on his health, but his [...]
Oakland Raiders Make Right Move By Signing J.P. Losman
The Oakland Raiders have reportedly signed UFL star and former Buffalo Bills quarterback, J.P. Losman, and could have him in the starting line-up as early as Week 16. Of course, that may depend on franchise quarterback Jamarcus Russell’s attitude and play in Week 15, but all signs (especially the actual signing) point to the team [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 14th): Kevin Smith likely done for season, Jamarcus Russell back in starting line-up, and more
Kevin Smith Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL Early reports suggest Smith tore his ACL in Detroit’s loss the the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and that the second-year back is almost certainly done for the season. This could mean a change through free agency or the draft at the position, as Smith has been [...]
Jamarcus Russell Justifies Benching By Opening His Mouth
It’s been three weeks since the Oakland Raiders benched franchise quarterback Jamarcus Russell in favor of the relatively unknown Bruce Gradkowski. Since then, the Raiders have pulled off impressive upsets over the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers, as Gradkowsi has displayed solid control and the ability to make plays with receivers that Russell could hardly [...]
NFL Fantasy Quick Hits (Nov. 19th): Ronnie Brown Out For Season, Brian Westbrook to Make Full Recovery, and more
Ronnie Brown Out For Season Brown has reportedly been ruled out for the remainder of the 2009 season with an apparent Lisfranc fracture. This is a huge blow to Miami’s strong rushing attack, but should open the door for the 32-year old Ricky Williams to become, once again, one of the league’s premiere backs. Williams [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 11 NFL Power Rankings: Colts Sneak Past Saints
While both games were in question until the final minute, both the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts still exited Week 10 with unblemished records, and deserve to sit atop the rankings. Both teams will continue to get hard battles in their quest to go 16-0 for the rest of the season, but until another [...]
NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 10: Back to the Brett Favre Magic
We had a productive Start/Sit column last week, as we took advantage of some “can’t miss” match-ups and suggested some solid starts out of Alex Smith and Ryan Grant, while made quality sleeper predictions by recommending you keep an eye on both Vince Young and Josh Freeman. Every week brings forth another collection of favorable [...]
