2010 Free Agency: Top 10 Running Backs
It’s a wild place out there in the current free agency realm, but somebody has to make sense of it. There are more capable running backs available on the market than you’d think, and with Jamal Lewis added to the mix (unless he retires), the field just got a little fatter. Now, that doesn’t mean [...]
Pittsburgh Steelers Are Down, But Are They Out?
The mighty Pittsburgh Steelers, last year’s Super Bowl champions, and the NFL leader in total Super Bowls claimed, have fallen. They’ve lost five straight games after rebounding from a 1-2 start to get to 6-2, and furthered their fall from grace (and embarrassment) by allowing the 2-11 Cleveland Browns to beat them at their own [...]
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 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 14th) Steelers lose Aaron Smith for season, might get back Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu, and more
Pittsburgh Loses DE Aaron Smith For the Season Smith was originally reported to be out for several weeks, but further diagnosis revealed that he would not be able to come back this season from a torn rotator cuff. This put the league’s number two rush defense in a bind, as Smith was a decent ass-rusher [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 7th) Braylon Edwards a Jet, Michael Crabtree a 49er and more
Braylon Edwards Traded to New York Jets The Browns ridded of the under-performing Edwards for Chansi Stuckey and two draft picks. This immediately causes caution for Derek Anderson’s value, but should make Mohamed Massaquoi’s value soar. Edwards, on the other hand, should develop into a fine down-field weapon for Mark Sanchez, but you should give [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 6th) Eli Manning Gets Second Opinion, Michael Crabtree to Meet With 49ers, and more
(Should the Steelers run with the hot hand in Mendenhall?) Michael Crabtree Meeting With 49ers Today On the surface, all this means is that Crabtree doesn’t actually want to sit out the entire season, and the ‘Niners will probably win this contract battle. This doesn’t make Crabtree a hot commodity all of a sudden, however, [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 3rd) James Davis Done For Season, Willie Parker Out For Sunday, and more
Cleveland’s James Davis Out For Season This is big, unexpected news, as the rookie looked very sharp in pre-season, and was on the verge of getting more carries. With Davis gone, however, Jerome Harrison (above) will step-in as the full-time starter until Jamal Lewis is fully healthy, and Lewis’s age and ineffectiveness could eventually lead [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 2nd) Marion Barber Expected to Play, “Fast Willie” Doubtful, and more
Josh Johnson is the news starting quarterback in Tampa Bay (for now), while Chad Henne takes over for the other Chad on IR (Pennington). This is old news, but still information you need to be aware of if you already aren’t, as both quarterbacks’ new roles do affect their offenses, in one way or another. [...]
NFL Quick Hits (October 1): Turf toe troubles Steelers’ Parker, Chargers’ Tomlinson practices, Seahawks’ Hasselbeck likely out for Week 4, and more
Willie Parker “Iffy” With Turf Toe One decent game, and everyone gets up in a whirl over Parker’s foot. While he “seems” to be back on track, this injury could either keep him out of week four, or also slow him down. If he plays, he’s sure to split carries with both Rashard Mendenhall and [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 3 Review
This was supposed to be the week that the Washington Redskins turned it around. Well, at least in terms of offensive production in the fantasy realms. And for Jason Campbell and Santana Moss, that’s exactly what happened. However, someone forgot to tell Jim Zorn that thousands of fantasy owners around the nation were counting on [...]
