Can you pick out who is missing from this picture? By John Sarianides 1. Roger Goodell announcing that he will be at the Patriots home opener is a joke! He had to be there! He’s the freakin commissioner! Thanks for confirming Rog! 2. I love that Bill Belichick skipped out on the AFC Coaches breakfast yesterday. He plays by his own rules and that’s awesome. Belichick has morphed into the…
By John Sarianides Three re-locations in 13 months is a bad look for the NFL. No matter how Roger Goodell tries to spin it, the league looks bad for moving the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles and the Raiders to Las Vegas. The moves proves that the league cares more about their bottom line and making money than the game itself. It is no secret that Los Angeles is…
By John Sarianides Patriots owner Robert Kraft made some interesting comments when meeting with reporters yesterday. Here the three comments that got my attention and what I think. 1. On Brady Claiming He Can Play 6-7 More Years: I commend the GOAT for being confident but he will not play six more years. It is impossible for Brady to play that long and still play at a high level. I know…
By John Sarianides The inside linebacker position is well stocked with quality depth. Teams should find be able to find some hidden gems at this position, especially in the later rounds. Alabama’s Reuben Foster headlines the group but Ohio State’s Raekwon McMillan and Florida’s Jarrad Davis are also top level prospects. Here is our top ten inside linebackers. 1. Reuben Foster, Alabama 6-0 229, NFL Comparison: Bobby Wagner Strengths -Foster is…
By John Sarianides I would really appreciate it if Raiders owner Mark Davis and the NFL stopped pissing in my ear and telling me it is raining. I get it! The Raiders are leaving Oakland. It is going to be made official this week at the league owners meetings. Let’s stop with all the back and forth nonsense with the city of Oakland. Roger Goodell sending a letter to Oakland…
By John Sarianides I am just babbling about all things football. 1. The Raiders are leaving and there is nothing Oakland can do about it. The city had a chance to keep the team and they dropped the ball. 2. Yes. I can see Darrelle Revis coming back to New England but I still don’t think it is a good idea. Revis is not the same player he was in…
By John Sarianides The thought of Adrian Peterson in a Packers uniform makes no sense on so many levels. It is the same way I felt about Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform. That visual came to fruition. I don’t see Peterson in a Packers uniform happening anytime soon. The Packers reportedly discussed meeeting with Peterson and his representives but decided that his $8 million dollar a season contract demand…
By John Sarianides Barring a pre-draft or draft weekend trade, Tony Romo will be a member of the Dallas Cowboys until June 1st. He shouldn’t make any career plans until then. The Cowboys know they can’t trade Romo because they have no takers. As a result, they will hold onto him until June 1st and then release Romo to go to Houston or where ever else he wants to go….
By John Sarianides The 2017 cornerback class in this draft is the best collection of corners I have scouted in 17 years of covering the draft. This group is talented and deep. Teams will be able to draft potential starters well into day three. As many as five corners could go in the first round. Here is our cornerback preview. 1. Marshon Lattimore, 6-0 193, Ohio State NFL Comparison: Vontae Davis…
By John Sarianides The Malcolm Butler saga has now entered week three and we still don’t know if the beleaguered cornerback will be in a Patriots uniform next season. Butler visited with the Saints last week and the peramters of a long term deal were discussed but the Saints did not sign Butler to a contract. New Orleans wants to sign Butler but they don’t want to give up the…
