No less than a half dozen NFL coaches have told me over the years that what matters most in the league is that you have to draft "football players." Arnold Palmer used to tell us that there are golfers and people who play golf. There are football players and guys who happen to play football. Tim Tebow, first and foremost is a "football player." He's the type of guy those coaches I used to talk to would like. And you can bet that someone is eyeballing his Tebowness following that pro day workout of his on St. Patrick's Day. Yes, he's changing his throwing motion. What does that ...
To start thing off, I'm just going to say, I'm sick of hearing people talking about the Chargers drafting a running back in the first round of this year's draft. I'm tired of seeing all of these Mock Drafts saying the Chargers will draft Fresno State RB Ryan Mathews. I honestly believe the Chargers will draft a 3-4 nose-tackle in the first round, but I'll save that argument for another article. My statement is pure and simple: The San Diego Chargers will NOT draft a RB in the first round due to being a passing team, a deep RB draft class, having ...
32 In 32 – St Louis Rams Over the next 32 days I will be posting an article a day breaking down every NFL team. Taking the team they currently have I will discuss where they are as a team, how they got there, what they need to do going forward and what the long term outlook is for them. What better place to start than with the 1-15 St Louis Rams? Where Are They? At 1-15 the Rams have joined an elite group of mediocrity. They beat one team last year, a team that went winless the season before and had the second ...
With the Raiders recent acquisition of Kamerion Wimbley a good deal of questions have rose: What will his role be on the defense? Was he brought in to play linebacker or defensive end? Could the Raiders be switching to a 3-4? Some people have suggested that since Mike Haluchak(Raiders current linebacker coach) was Wimbleys' linebacker coach in Cleveland that means Wimbley will be playing linebacker in Oakland. Likely on the strong side. Others have suggested that this also means the Raiders may be switching to the 3-4; since Haluchak coached a 3-4 in Cleveland. Wimbley is an interesting prospect to play linebacker. He has great size ...
When you look at the latest Mock Drafts they have interesting choices for the Cincinnati Bengals with their number one pick in the NFL Draft. They have Cincy picking USC Safety Taylor Mays with their first round selection. After having so many issues with the offensive passing game this past season and so many talented receivers out there in the draft should the Bengals make this selection? I think that if the Bengals think they can get a very solid receiver like Mardy Gilyard in the second round of the draft then this would be a terrific move for Cincinnati. Taylor Mays was ...
