There seems to be a popular belief that Scott Pioli ranks at or somewhere near the top among NFL talent gurus – which seemingly includes an uncanny ability to find hidden talent deep in the draft. Surely one need look no further than Matt Cassell for proof of that, right?
Well, thought I, before I start using that perception as a basis for [...]

AHHH! I’m Blind! I’m Blind!
Written by David | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Stripe Hype (Bengals)
Checking out Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl coverage over lunch today, I clicked on this link and was temporarily blinded by the supernova-bright glare of the obvious: “Study: NFL TV ads full of violence, sex, alcohol.”
Study? Someone had to do a study to figure this out? Then again, it probably means these guys got paid to [...]
Evaluating the Eagles: Part IV
Written by Scott | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
They’re not flashy, they don’t get much pub, but the Eagles‘ offensive line has been steady for the last few seasons. However, age and injuries have finally caught up to this group. 2008 proved to be good/bad situation for the O-line. They allowed a franchise low 23 sacks, but were horrendous in short yardage and [...]
Gruden Finally Speaks Up
Written by Sec119RayJay | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)
Since his firing almost two weeks ago, Jon Gruden has incurred some shi*t talking from a few former players, most notably Michael Clayton, Simeon Rice and Jeff Garcia. Two of those players should retire and go away, and if one continues to have hands made out of KY Jelly, he’ll be joining Carmella and Simeon [...]

JT Strikes Again
Written by David | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Stripe Hype (Bengals)
Yesterday, Cincinnati Bengals DT John Thornton scored a solid interview with Senior Bowl star DT B.J. Raji. Thornton rings the bell again today with a fresh conversation with one-time Bengals CB Charles Fisher, whose career was cut short by injury. Fisher is now a scout for the Seattle Seahawks and provides an insiders’ perspective on [...]
Lewis Promises Changenuity
Written by David | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Stripe Hype (Bengals)
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis held forth Wednesday on the subject of the Bengals’ offseason plans. He promised an offseason of both continuity and change. Call it “changenuity.”
“Continuity has proven in the NFL the best way time and time again, whether it is system or coaches,” Lewis said. “There are a lot of areas [...]
This Could Actually Work: Why the Mangini-Kokinis Tandem Might Be Successful
Written by stevedimatteo | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Dawg Pound Daily (Browns)
I know the hiring of both head coach Eric Mangini and GM George Kokinis has not exactly brought joy to the hearts of Browns fans everywhere, and nowhere is anyone running in the streets singing U2’s “Beautiful Day.” I’ll admit that I have my own fears and reservations about this new regime, but I do [...]

Arizona Has Valleys But No Peaks
Written by Chris | January 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)
During the San Diego Chargers’ playoff victory a few weeks back, ABC cut to a shot of their cheerleaders at every opportunity. Good move, ABC. When the Dallas Cowboys play, FOX makes sure to get their overrated yet still fetching Cowgirls on camera whenever a player so much as downs a punt. The Philadelphia Eagle’s [...]

It’s that time of year again where yours truly sits back and just waits… I hope for the boys of summer to return to the field as soon as possible. We look for the signs. Baseball fans know what I’m talking about. It’s the snow melting in the midwest. The Gloves popping in local parks. [...]

MockStock: Michael Crabtree
Written by Daniel Evans | January 28, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL Mocks, Other Blogs
I’ve been saying since the end of his freshman season that Michael Crabtree is a can’t miss NFL prospect. He was redshirted his first season, which is what allowed him to become NFL Draft eligible. He took advantage and decided to leave Texas Tech early.
I don’t blame him.
This guy can be the next Larry Fitzgerald. [...]
