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 other 28 teams not [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 13th): Jim Haslett to coach Washington defense, Jack Del Rio officially staying in Jacksonville, and more
Washington Names Jim Haslett Defensive Coordinator The Washington Redskins have reportedly named former New Orleans and St. Louis head coach Jim Haslett their new defensive coordinator. Washington has decided to make the permanent switch to the 3-4 defensive scheme, and with extensive experience with the scheme in Pittsburgh, Haslett could potentially be a perfect fit. [...]
Is Mike Shanahan Washington’s Missing Piece?
Norv Turner couldn’t do it. The guy that originally brought Washington two titles, Joe Gibbs, couldn’t get it done in his second try, either. Few truly believed Jim Zorn, who had zero previous head coaching experience was ready, so after all the Washington Redskins franchise has been through in the past 15+ years, what makes [...]

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. 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 [...]
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.
