Tonight the Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting the offense they hope to emulate. Running back Maurice Jones-Drew said this week that the Jaguars hope to run 85 offensive plays per game. Considering the team’s offensive woes, we find that mark highly unachievable, but if the Jaguars hope to accomplish it, they better have their notebooks out […]

After last night’s terrible performance by Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn, many will be quick to jump on the Terrelle Pryor bandwagon. Sure Flynn played poorly. In fact, with a stats line featuring nearly as many completions to the defense as the offense, one can make the case that Flynn isn’t worthy of starting for anyone […]

The Lions are in desperate need of a quick start to being the 2013 regular season, and right now, they’re not set up to pull that off. Their biggest problem revolves around Calvin Johnson’s absence from the lineup and the extended problems that causes. There’s no doubt that Johnson is the Lions single biggest offensive […]

The Patriots struggled in a big way last night against the Detroit Lions. Tom Brady wasn’t bad, but an interception prevented his stats line from looking good by any stretch and the lack of a touchdown pass is very uncharacteristic. The Patriots offense was without Danny Amendola, and that was bound to hurt the team’s […]

Week three of the preseason is generally the most intensive work given to a team's starting players. Instead of playing only a couple of drives, starters often play the entire first half. Sure, tonight's games between the Patriots and Lions as well as the Panthers, Ravens matchups a good, but they're not the best story […]

ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski made headlines this week when he suggested that third-year San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick — who has only seven career regular-season starts to his name — "could be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever." That, of course, is a ridiculously lofty statement. Kaepernick had a fantastic […]

As expected, Brandon Weeden has won the starting job for the Cleveland Browns. But not only is the second-year quarterback being viewed as the No. 1 signal caller on the depth chart. Some are thinking he could be in store for a breakout sophomore season.  The reason for that? Weeden has been killing it this […]

The announcement that Ray Guy had been named as a finalist for election into Hall of Fame today spurred an old yet classic debate. Should a punter, specifically Ray Guy, receive football’s highest individual honor? Ray Guy was the first punter to ever be drafted in the first round. Over the years, the Raiders have […]

Robert Griffin has been taking heat recently for addressing his relationship with head coach Mike Shanahan, and to this point, he’s defended his decision to go out of his way to, essentially, say there’s no story. That much isn’t new. Now, however, he’s defending his open book-style, and in doing so, he seemingly took a […]

If you didn't catch the news yesterday that wide receiver Mike Thomas had landed with the Arizona Cardinals, we'll be more than happy to let it slide. After all, who's Mike Thomas? The short answer is, Mike Thomas is a slot receiver that showed great promise early in his career in Jacksonville before his production […]

The Denver Broncos’ defense could be in for a rough month and a half to begin the 2013 regular season. The reason behind it is simple. They’ll struggle to rush the passer. Really, this saga didn’t begin when we found out today that Von Miller would miss the first six games of 2013 due to […]

When a quarterback loses a preseason battle to be a team’s starter, it’s easy to see how said player could be a little down, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Although Michael Vick enters the season as the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback, Nick Foles didn’t watch his opportunity to be a starting quarterback […]

The Jaguars have finally ended their quarterback competition by handing the job back to Blaine Gabbert. At the same time, the team announced that Gabbert won’t be playing again until week one of the regular season due to a hairline fracture in his thumb. Now the question is, what can Chad Henne do from here? […]

The Colts’ story from a year ago makes for great football. This was a team that went 2-14 and hit the reset button. Then, their first-year head coach announces out of nowhere that he must miss an undefined amount of time to literally fight for his life. Bruce Arians steps in and leads the team […]
