With the 2011 NFL draft just a week away I thought I would put pen to paper and mention a few players I feel owners, General managers, scouts and coaches should be careful of letting pass bye during the draft. To make it a little more interesting all the players I will mention are ranked lower than fifth at their position by most top football [...]

I’m still confused on whether 3 years is a GOOD number or not because it seems like the NFL thinks that’s reasonably acceptable.
Also, just to show how bored NFL players are getting out there, Brandon Marshall said he had been tweeting since 5 am …

Having trouble with mocking a pick to Buffalo? Worried they may make the wrong choice? Do you wish you knew what was going on in the mind of Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey? Well, no worries James “Broth” Greenwood is here with an article about the draft history of the two big decision makers in the the Bills organization.

While teams and players of the National Football League prepare for their day in court, behind the scene it is widely rumored that the owners are trying to throw smoke screens to draw attention away from their greediness by trying to play the worried parent.

How many of you were ever told “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”? Apparently, out of the many of you that raised your hand I’m willing to bet one of those were not Rodger Godell.

As is the case every year.Teams must decide which players during the off-season to try and retain.This year however it’s a little more difficult than normal.With no CBA in place (Collective Bargaining Agreement) teams will not have an opportunity to offer contracts to players from their team or others.Mike Lombardi has sited multiple sources as saying the New York Jets are set to “allow Cromartie [...]

The safety position seems to become more important every year, but it still ranks behind cornerback when it comes to the draft. In order to be a top safety, one needs to be a good tackler, as many teams now play eight defenders in the box against the run. You have to be a good blitzer and be able to cover big, fast tight ends. [...]

Defensive backs become more important every year because of the proliferation of the passing game. In 2008, 32 teams passed 16,350 times and ran 14,207 times. In 2009, they passed 17,033 times and ran 14,088 times (56.5 percent). In 1997 there were no 4,000-yard passers. In 2008, there were six. In 2009, 10 quarterbacks passed for over 4,000 yards.
