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…
Storyline: The Patriots welcome Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins to Gillette Stadium this afternoon for the 2016 home opener. The Patriots pulled off a minor upset last Sunday night by beating the Cardinals in Arizona. The Dolphins almost pulled off an even bigger upset in Seattle but lost when Doug Baldwin scored the game winning touchdown for the Seahawks with under a minute left. Here are my five keys…
Its Week 3 of the college football season and after a lackluster week of games, there are several key games on the docket for this weekend. Here are the top five games for this weekend. #6 Houston Cougars at Cincinnati Bearcats: This is a trap game for the Cougs but with Greg Ward Jr. back at quarterback, they should be fine. Cincy will come out flying but if Tom Herman’s troops…
1. The Saints cutting C.J Spiller is a bit of a surprise. They gave him a four year, $16 million dollar deal last off-season so they obviously thought he could play. 2. Speaking of the Saints. Sean Payton is no longer calling. Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. is now calling the plays. Can Payton call the defense? The Saints are awful. 3. The NFL announced that they are launching another…
