Tony Romo will be taking on a greater role in the Cowboys’ offense this season. That much we’ve known for some time, and while it may be mostly rhetoric, it does seem that the Cowboys are more committed than ever to holding their quarterback accountable for the way the offense performs. It’s a role that […]

The NFL is a copycat league, and as it turns out, that may actually apply to officiating and not just Xs and Os. This season, college football is introducing a new rule in which players will be ejected for targeting an opponent with a blow to the head. The message is clear. The NCAA is […]

The Rams may think they know who their starting running back will be now that Stephen Jackson is no longer with the team; for the record, Daryl Richardson is the Rams’ likely starter, but that doesn’t mean Richardson will be carrying a huge percentage of the Rams’ runs. Head coach Jeff Fisher said Thursday the […]

Since making the playoffs following the 2007 season, the Jaguars have gone from good, to mediocre, to just plain bad. With the new season about to get under way, first-year head coach Gus Bradley is trying to change the culture in Jacksonville, something that may be easier said than done. “We have a saying in […]

News hit yesterday that while Robert Griffin III has been cleared for practice, we’re unlikely to see him in any preseason action, meaning the first time he steps on the field may be in week one of the regular season. That got me wondering; how important is preseason action? Well, that all depends on who […]

Jets head coach Rex Ryan is entering a contract year. The New York Jets have not offered up an extension, instead opting to give their coach the last year of his contract to convince them that he’s still the man for the job. If, however, the Jets get off to a rough start, Ryan will […]

There were many folks around the NFL and football circles in general that wondered what Bill Belichick would say about Aaron Hernandez in today’s press conference. Some speculated that the timing of the event suggested that Belichick would give us more than he usually does at such events. Those people, as it turned out, weren’t […]

A defending Super Bowl champion has not successfully defended the title in nearly a decade. The last team to do it was the New England Patriots who won Super Bowls XXXVIII (38) and XXXIX (39) in consecutive seasons. Next up to try to end the back-to-back drought are the Baltimore Ravens, who are facing high […]

The Jaguars most, and maybe only, explosive player has been medically cleared for training camp after spending his offseason rehabbing a surgically repaired foot head coach Gus Bradley told reporters on Tuesday. As expected, Bradley was careful to note that the Jaguars won't be rushing Jones-Drew back into a full workload, saying the Jags are […]

In April's draft, the Philadelphia Eagles surprised everyone by taking Matt Barkley with the 98th overall selection, despite already having the services of both Michael Vick and Nick Foles. The move made some waves, although it was assumed at that point that Vick was the quarterback to beat in Philadelphia. Now, with a starting quarterback […]

Media sessions in training camp are usually a pretty straightforward endeavor. Reporters ask coaches how they think the offseason has gone, and the coaches say how much they're looking forward to the season and they feel great about their teams. Rarely do we actually get a gem from such a session, but that's what happened […]

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Von Miller was facing a four game suspension for violating league policy, but he hasn't given us a description of exactly what Miller has done wrong to warrant such a suspension. Now, more details are emerging from other reports. Mike Klis of the Denver post is reporting that

    Every year, analysts take their shots at picking Super Bowl teams and winners, and every year, there’s one or two teams picked that don’t  make much sense. That’s not the case here. There are certain teams around the league that are in the tournament every single year (at least seemingly), and there are […]
