Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it's the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the ... Continue Reading

Posted By Matt Gentile On Sunday, January 10th 2010. Under NFL Tags: Al Saunders, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Dick Butkus, Green Bay Packers, Jay Cutler, Jedd Fisch, Jeremy Bates, Jim Chaney, Josh McDaniels, Kansas City Chiefs, Kyle Orton, Mike Ditka, Pete Carroll, Rex Grossman, Ron Turner, St. Louis Rams, Super Bowl XLIV, Tom Clements, Tony Dungy, Trent Dilfer, University of Minnesota, University of Tennessee, USC, Washington Redskins

Since I live in the Chicagoland area and have been a Bears fan ever since my mother told me stories about Dick Butkus before bed, I try not to write exclusively about them. As a blogger, it's important to be unbiased and fair, which hopefully is the case whenever you ... Continue Reading

Don’t Blame Josh McDaniels For Denver’s Woes

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Tuesday, January 5th 2010. Under NFL Tags: Baltimore Ravens, Bill Belichick, brandon marshall, Chicago, Chicago Bears, Denver, Denver Broncos, Eddie Royal, Jay Cutler, Josh McDaniels, Kansas City Chiefs, Kyle Orton, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers

His tenure started with a bang. Down Goes Cutler, in a way, is what should have rang in the ears of NFL fans everywhere. Of course, you had your Jay Cutler haters, who shrugged off the bold move by new head coach, Josh McDaniels, to challenge the rising superstar quarterback. Bold? Yes, ... Continue Reading

Oh, Peyton Hillis, Where Have You Gone?

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, December 17th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Correll Buckhalter, Denver Broncos, Josh McDaniels, Knowshon Moreno, lamont jordan, Miami Dolphins, Mike Shanahan, Peyton Hillis

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 ... Continue Reading

We all think we're right. Yes. It's true. We bloggers, the experts on television and radio, and all the sports writers want to be right. So, we all give predictions before the season. Prior to the NFL season, many of us slighted the Denver Broncos and their head coach Josh McDaniels. Heck, ... Continue Reading

(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 ... Continue Reading

(Wait til' you see this kid under the lights.) Last week's Start/Sit column brought you a mediocre 7-8 record out of five starts, five sits, and five sleepers. But week six offers much more promise. Take a look for yourself and see if you don't find yourself in agreement. As always, ... Continue Reading

(Thumbs still up for Collins?) Titans Standing Behind Kerry Collins Head coach Jeff Fisher stated that the Titans are not moving on from Collins to Vince Young at the quarterback position, despite Young seeing garbage time in their loss to the Colts on Sunday night. The Titans are 5-0, however, and despite Collins ... Continue Reading
