The Texans just aren’t the same team without Watt. 1.No Watt, no chance for the Texans. I know people around here think he is overrated but Watt is the Texans best player and is the heart and soul of the team. If he’s not right, the Texans are not right. 2.Bill Belichick knows who is starting at quarterback for him on Sunday. He’s not announcing it for obviously reasons. Keep…
The Trojans haven’t been doing much fighting under Clay Helton thus far in 2016. 1.USC is 1-3. Do you think Pat Haden and the admin at SC regret promoting Clay Helton? If you asked them privately, they would say yes. Current AD Lynn Swann however has supported Helton publicly. 2. Is there any chance we could Lamar Jackson the Heisman now? I don’t want to see him regress and not…
The Patriots put on a coaching clinic in a 27-0 shutout win over former assistant Bill O’Brien and the Texans. By Michael Vallee -Masterpiece Theater: While most coaches will tell you players win championships, there is no denying that NFL head coaches have more influence on the outcome of games than any other coach/manager in any other sport, and Thursday night Bill Belichick exercised that impact to the max by…
Game Rewind: The Patriots steam rolled the Houston Texans 27-0 last night in what was one of the best coached games of Bill Belichick’s Patriots tenure. Paced by a physical running game and solid defense, the Patriots were able to dominate a Texans team that came into the game undefeated and had the look of a contender. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. Coaching Clinic on Offense: Bill Belichick and…
Josh Dobbs and Jalen Hurd get one more shot at Florida this weekend. Week four of the college football season is upon us. There are several key conference match-ups this weekend that could have long term implications. Here are our top five games. #5 Clemson Tigers at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: Beware of the Jackets. Paul Johnson has the Ramblin Wreck rolling thus far this season at 3-0. The Jackets are…
Storyline: Its all about rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett tonight. Brissett is expected to start for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo. This is why the Patriots used a third round pick in April’s draft on Brissett. They wanted to have a third quarterback on the roster in the event that Brady’s appeal was overturned or if his back up were to get hurt. Believe me, if Belichick had his druthers, Brissett would not…
Waxing poetically about all things NFL and college football. 1.All hope is not lost Pats fans! According to ESPN (take it with a grain of salt) Jimmy G could start Thursday night. 2. People need to ease up on the Carson Wentz tongue bathing. He has tremendous upside but he has only played two games in the NFL. Lets not put him in Canton quite yet. 3. The Chicago Bears…
-The Quarterback Shuffle continues at Foxboro: Sunday’s Patriots/Dolphins game was a beat writer’s nightmare. It was one of those games where the entire focus and narrative changed on dime. What started as a lopsided contest and coronation of sorts for New England’s one-time backup quarterback, quickly morphed into a game of survival with the Patriots fate resting on the broad shoulders of the first third-string quarterback ever to see meaningful…
Louisville’s demolition of Florida State highlighted a high scoring weekend in college football. 1.Lamar Jackson is the run away favorite to win the Heisman after Saturday’s dominant performance versus Florida State. Jackson is in the drivers seat but its still early. 2. I am not surprised that Louisville whacked Florida State. Both Charlie Strong and Bobby Petrino are tremendous recruiters. Petrino gets as much talent out of Florida as Jimbo…
Game Rewind: The Patriots hung on to beat the Miami Dolphins 31-24 in the home opener. Unfortunately, the win was overshadowed by Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury. Garoppolo has been diagnosed with a sprained AC Joint and has been listed day to day. Here are my five thoughts on the game. 1. The Jimmy G Injury: Garoppolo was shredding the Dolphins defense up until Kiko Alonso knocked him out of the…
