For example, a positive gain can mean a five yard run up the middle. We refer to positive as the plus sign in the turnover ratio. It’s good to be positive. And I believe it’s time that the Vikings to positively support the idea that Joe Webb should start a few games in 2012.

  • RGIII, Another Scrambler Haunts Vikings

    Bill Seng
    16 Oct 2012 | 3:15 am
    The Vikings came unto the scene in 1961 with a scrambling quarterback who gave weekly material to NFL films with his highlight scrambles. Tarkenton didn’t often advance the ball forward with his scramble. He did it to buy time to look downfield to find a big play. But maybe Tarkenton should have scrambled more for yards. I think about that every time a quarterback breaks a long touchdown run against the Vikings. On Sunday, RGIII beat Minnesota with his legs. As a lifelong Vikings fan, I was painfully flashing back to Steve Young’s 49-yard game winning run against them in 1988.

  • Breaking Down the Tom Brady Replacement Plan

    23 May 2013 | 1:00 am
    Tom Brady signed a contract extension with the New England Patriots this offseason, giving him a total of five more years with the team, setting 2017 as the likely end of his career with the team. Unfortunately for Patriots fans, Brady won't play forever, and the end often comes quickly for quarterbacks. Brady has shown no sign of slowing down over recent seasons, but as he gets older, it gets even more important for the Patriots to have a viable backup plan and an eventual replacement lined up.What we do know about Bill Belichick is that as soon as there's a better and cheaper option than…

    The Carolina Panthers signed defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, the 14th overall pick in April's draft, to a four-year deal, his agent told the Associated Press on Wednesday. The 6-foot-2, 311-pounder out of the University of Utah is "extremely excited to officially become a Panther," Bruce Tollner said. The deal, whose financial terms were not released, has a team option for a fifth season.

    Before you laugh at the defense of Tim Tebow, NFL Quarterback, that you are about to read, there are a few things you should remember about its author, the one and only Chuck Norris: Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They…

  • New York Jets: Missing Out on Brian Hoyer is Not a Big Deal

    Nick Mamary
    23 May 2013 | 8:48 am
    Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports There has been much discussion when it comes to the New York Jets‘ quarterback competition. Prior to selecting Geno Smith in 2013’s NFL Draft, New York was linked to names like Brady Quinn. David Garrard signed, but injury issues led to an early retirement. One name reportedly drew interest. Brian Hoyer was said to be on the Jets’ radar before signing with the Cleveland Browns. The former Michigan State standout joined the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2009. Hoyer saw limited action his first two seasons while sitting behind some…

From Mike Goodson getting arrested for drug and weapons charges, Oday Aboushi being linked to terrorist acts via Twitter, and newly draftee drama queen quarterback Geno Smith, this team is a daily soap opera. Goodson being arrested three days ago says one thing: that he is ready to get the party started in the “Big Apple.” As Soon as I heard this story, all I could say was…

    Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports There’s been a lot of speculation about the New York Jets‘ running back situation in the wake of Mike Goodson‘s recent arrest and pending legal troubles after his late night to forget last Thursday/Friday morning. Goodson was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded handgun, possession of hollow-point bullets, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia over the weekend. Entering his fifth NFL season, Mike Goodson signed a three-year deal with the Jets this offseason that may only have $1 million…

    Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Much has yet to be determined when it comes to the New York Jets. A much-publicized quarterback battle likely between Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith dominates headlines. Other areas have yet to be decided in terms of starter. New York made a blockbuster move by trading Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. By coincidence, the Jets landed Dee Milliner whom many feel has potential to one day as good as Revis. Milliner comes from Alabama where he demonstrated an ability to limit the opponent’s passing game. Health became the only…

    While it doesn’t sound like the Giants will be taking a chance on free agent QB Tim Tebow, Giants co-owner Steve Tisch sure isn’t shy about taking a shot at the Jets when it comes to Tebow. Tisch told TMZ.com that the Jets destroyed any chance Tebow had to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. “I think him going from the Broncos to the Jets was not in anybody’s best interest,” Tisch told TMZ on his way out of Dan Tana’s in L.A.

Curry, selected No. 4 overall in 2009 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, began his visit with the Giants on Thursday night and came back this morning for a workout. It apparently went well.

He also has a date set up with the Lions, and also the Jets. After his chat with the other New York team, Cribbs will pay a visit to the Giants. The Giants had some interest in Cribbs earlier as they are looking for a replacement for Domenik Hixon. It was a knee that stopped Cribbs from getting a job earlier, as he had offseason arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, and failed a physical with the Cardinals…

The 6-2, 255-pound linebacker hasn’t played since he was cut by the Oakland Raiders last November in part due to chronic knee problems that helped derail his career. But he’s been working out and feels healthy, a source said, and has drawn the interest of several NFL teams. The Giants will get the first look at him, beginning when Curry arrives in New Jersey on Wednesday night. Curry, a veteran of four NFL seasons, is still only 27 years old.

    It's the dog days of the off-season and we've missed some Falcons news that is worth talking about but maybe not worth three or four separate articles. Let's catch up on some Falcons news together..... Levine Toilolo Signs Thomas Dimitiroff's off-season strategy has worked. He drafted guys with difficult names so that bloggers and beat writers had to pause several times during each article to make sure that they spelled the new players name correctly. Mission accomplished. The Falcons have also signed their large fourth round pick, Stanford's Levine Toilolo, which leaves…

  • State of the Falcons: Defensive Ends

    20 May 2013 | 11:04 pm
    When we last left off we covered the Falcons defensive tackles. Now it's time to take a look at one of the positions that has received the most scrutiny this off-season, the defensive ends.  The Falcons only had two DEs on last years roster who recorded sacks, John Abraham and Kroy Biermann. Abraham led the team and DEs in sacks with ten while Biermann was second with four. Abraham was a great player for the Falcons but it's pretty clear why the Falcons decided to go a different direction. Seven of Abraham's ten sacks came in the first seven games of the season, meaning he…

  • State of the Falcons: Defensive Tackles

    17 May 2013 | 12:34 am
    When we left off, we finished up our offensive look at the 2013 Falcons as compared to the 2012 squad. We went through the RBs, QBs, WR/TE and offensive line. The biggest jump in talent is at the RB position with the addition of Steven Jackson and the biggest concern is on the OL with the departure of Tyson Clabo and Todd McClure. Now let's start our defensive look by focusing on the defensive tackle position. The Falcons currently have seven DTs listed on their roster with the most notable absence from the 2012 squad being Vance Walker. In 2012, Walker played in 16 games (starting eight)…

  • State of the Falcons: Running Back

    12 May 2013 | 9:46 am
    The Falcons rushing game took a step back in 2012. Some of that was because the Falcons were more dedicated to the passing game under new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. The Falcons ran the ball 75 less times (or around 4.6 times less per game). The Falcons also decreased in yards per carry from 4.0 to 3.7. Michael Turner took the biggest step back as he went from averaging 4.5 ypc in 2011 to just 3.6 in 2012. He clearly took a step back in 2012. Jacquizz Rodgers nearly doubled his production and also increased his ypc by 0.3. Jacquizz also took a significant step forward in the pass game…

    By most standards, the Minnesota Vikings did a pretty darned good job in the 2013 NFL Draft, but one cylinder on the defensive side may have misfired.  Staring any number of needed linebackers in the face during the final stages of Round One, the Vikings managed to move back up into that late first round gold mine and select……a wide receiver.  The long term upside for the selection of Cordarelle Patterson is still under review, for his immediate impact on this 2013 team appears to be limited, while the selection of a quality linebacker would have had the immediate and…

    This is no doubt this is a big topic of conversation among the higher ups in NFL organisations. Is there a right way to approach the draft? Are we approaching it the wrong way? They are such complex questions, that we have never really had a clear definitive answer. To find an answer, I delved into the statistics from the 2009 to 2012 NFL Drafts. My goal was to chart various results from # of picks per team to the number of pro bowlers drafted during that time. I excluded teams that have recently had significant philosophical changes in the front office (Jets, Jags, Panthers, Eagles, Browns,…

    If you actually watch football and have done so for the last 10-15 years, you’ve heard the name London Fletcher. Fletcher has been floating around the league since 1998, beginning his career with the Rams before moving on to Buffalo and then to Washington where he currently plays. If he walked into a crowded room, most people would not recognize him, let alone know he was a professional football player. At 5’10, 248, he has a slightly larger builder than I do and I’ve never been mistaken for a professional athlete. What you also may not know is his stat line. Fletcher is the…

For example, at the end of the 2010 season, the top five receivers in the league in terms of yardage were Brandon Lloyd, Roddy White, Reggie Wayne, Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace. At the end of the 2012 season, the top five were Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Demaryius Thomas and Vincent Jackson. With that kind of change over just a two-year span, fantasy players need to be on their toes and looking out for the next wave of game…
