What Does Mike Martz to Chicago Mean For Jay Cutler?
Mike Martz hasn’t always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It’s not necessarily that he’s mean, arrogant, or brass. He’s just stubborn. He loves to air it out. He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team’s offense out of the water, making less mistakes, and [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 15th): Saints sign Deuce McCallister, Marion Barber still questionable, and more
Saints Reportedly Sign Deuce McCallister New Orleans has reportedly agreed to terms with former running back, Deuce McCallister. McCallister isn’t guaranteed to have a role for the playoffs, but with Pierre Thomas dealing with an injury and Mike Bell’s play dropping off in the second half of the season, the Saints were looking for someone [...]
Jay Cutler in Chicago: Work in Progress or Failure?
The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it’s now 2010, and because playoff season has started.

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way.

Sanchez has been practicing and looks like he’ll be ready for [...]
NFL Week 14 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
We were once again thwarted by the Colts, as they took care of business against Tennessee. Ironically enough, the Saints were the team who struggled, and against a previously 3-8 Washington Redskins team, no less. The story of last week, while undoubtedly partially going to the Saints comeback, goes to the Arizona Cardinals and their [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 25th) Michael Turner practicing, Matthew Stafford doubtful, Kurt Warner to face Titans, and more
Michael Turner Returns to Practice Turner returned on a limited basis on Wednesday, but since head coach Mike Smith hasn’t given any estimate on when Turner could play in a game, it’s a safe bet he won’t start this week’s game. Jason Snelling looked good last week, and Jerious Norwood is back to practicing fully. [...]

Bears rookie LT Chris Williams has surgery; questions abound
Bears rookie left tackle and 14th overall pick Chris Williams had surgery on a herniated disk. The surgery will keep Williams out for an unspecified amount of time. However, according to Bears GM Jerry Angelo, it shouldn’t keep him out the entire season. “We have to wait and see…how the rehab is,” Angelo told reporters, [...]
Bringing Rexy Back: Will Rex Grossman take advantage of his last chance in Chicago?
The Chicago Bears brought back Rex Grossman for one more year to see if he could finally cement himself as ‘the guy’ under center. Matt Gentile discusses if Grossman can put it together, or if this is his last hurrah in the Windy City.
