1. The Dolphins signing of Arian Foster prove that they don’t buy Jay Ajayi as an every down back. Ajayi will split carries with Foster but don’t be surprised if Foster gets the bulk of the carries. 2. Veteran cornerback Charles Tillman retiring is not a surprise. If you think about it, he should have called it quit after the Bears cut him. 3. I’m not sure why it took…
Today was deadline for franchise players in the NFL to sign long term extensions with their respective teams. High profiled franchised players like Von Miller of the Broncos and Mo Wilkerson of the Jets signed extensions. Chiefs free safety Eric Berry however did not. Here’s our breakdown of the four top stories of the day in the NFL. 1st Down: It’s Miller Time in Denver: The Denver Broncos value talent…
If this doesnt get you jacked up for the upcoming Patriots season, I don’t know what will. Football season is almost here and it can’t get here fast enough.
It’s been a tough two months for the Baylor football program and its getting worse. 11 members from the 2016 class have asked for their release from the program since the suspension/dismissal of Art Briles in May. Defensive end Brandon Bowen was the latest member of the class to ask for his release. Bowen along with B.J. Autry, Parish Cobb, Tren’Davian Dickson, Devin Duvernay, Donovan Duvernay, Jeremy Faulk, Patrick Hudson,…
1. The state of Nevada and the city of Las Vegas would have to fork over $750 million dollar in order to build a new stadium for the Raiders. That’s not going to happen. Raiders owners Mark Davis would have a better chance of being abducted by aliens before that happened. 2. Of course Calvin Johnson is at peace with his decision to retire. His body feels good and he…
Eugene Monroe would add quality depth to a Patriots offensive line that sorely needs it. The Baltimore Ravens released veteran left tackle Eugene Monroe yesterday. Reports surfaced that the reason the team released Monroe was because of his views on legalizing marijuana. The Ravens also attempted to deal Monroe to the Giants but a deal fell through. I think all of that is a load of crap. They released Monroe…
courtesy of CSNNE Sorry TB12, but you can’t go numberless anymore. 1. The NFL informed the Patriots that they must wear numbers on their practice jerseys. Moral of the story. Belichick knows how to push buttons and the NFL likes to overreact. 2. Ravens receiver Breshad Perriman is cursed. I’m convinced he is. 2. Chandler Jones is already talking smack about the Patriots week one visit to Arizona. If…
The Patriots lost back up tight end Michael Williams with a torn ACL on Wednesday. Williams was competing for the third tight end spot behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Williams played in 40% of the team’s offensive snaps last season as a second tight end/ extra tackle. The former offensive tackle is a terrific run blocker and he excels in pass pro as well. Williams was also an integral…
The Patriots open their mandatory mini camp today at Gillette Stadium. There are five storylines to keep an eye on this week. 1. Brady’s Reps: The Patriots were in the same boat last off season so Bill Belichick and his coaching staff have experience dealing with this situation. Brady should get the majority of the first team reps however that could change come training camp. If Brady still has to…
I’m fine with Art Briles statement however others aren’t buying it. Deposed Baylor coach Art Briles released a statement on Wednesday regarding the sexual abuse scandal at Baylor. I found Briles to be genuine and honest in the statement however most members of the media did not. They are attacking Briles for not being honest enough in the statement. I think he’s saying about as much as he can say….
