Previous experience with Bears could give Phil Emery a leg up
28 Jan 2012 | 2:10 amKansas City Chiefs director of college scouting Phil Emery remains the favorite to be named the Bears’ general manager after his second interview with the team Friday at Halas Hall. The Bears will name either Emery or New England Patriots director of pro personnel Jason Licht to succeed Jerry Angelo, who was fired by team president Ted Phillips last month. Licht had his second interview with the Bears on Thursday. No timetable is set, but the Bears ‘‘don’t expect a decision to take too long,’’ a Halas Hall source close to the hiring process said Friday night. Emery, 53, is… -
Bears’ general manager will have hands full
27 Jan 2012 | 8:34 pmChiefs director of college scouting Phil Emery still is considered the favorite to succeed Jerry Angelo as the Bears’ general manager. But whether it’s Emery or Patriots director of pro personnel Jason Licht, the winner will have a heavy workload the minute he signs his contract. Though coach Lovie Smith is an untouchable and the core of the Bears’ roster for 2012 is intact, hiring a general manager in the middle of the evaluation period for the draft and free agency puts the Bears in catch-up mode. But there’s more to it than that. When player evaluation and poor draft … -
Bears need wideouts, but they can be hard to project
26 Jan 2012 | 2:19 amMOBILE, Ala. — I have no idea if Appalachian State wide receiver Brian Quick has soft hands or an exceptional ‘‘get-off.’’ I don’t know if he’s sudden in and out of his breaks or whether he’s a long-strider with a wide catching radius or a burner who accelerates toward space and has high-end speed. He’s 6-5, 220, claims he has a 39-inch vertical, says he’ll run a 4.4 40 — and he can catch the ball and run with it. That makes him a candidate to help the Bears. Quick isn’t the best wide receiver at the Senior Bowl. He’s … -
Phil Emery gets ringing endorsement for Bears' GM position
25 Jan 2012 | 1:16 pmMOBILE, Ala. — Scott Pioli, who helped build the New England Patriots’ dynasty with coach Bill Belichick, takes a low-key approach as the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs. But when asked Tuesday to talk about Chiefs college scouting director Phil Emery, Pioli gladly agreed to an interview at the Senior Bowl — with one condition. He wanted time to think about his answers because of his respect for Emery. “The things that stand out are his work ethic, his work habits, how detailed he is, how meticulous he is,” Pioli told the Sun-Times. “He’s a very good teacher, … -
Notre Dame tabs ex-Bears coach for O-line

Hiestand spent the past two years at Tennessee after working with the offensive line for the Bears from 2005-09.

Audibles: Manning and his future
27 Jan 2012 | 2:36 amSo I'm introducing a new segment this week called "Audibles", where I post some worthwhile commentary from other blogs.First up, Yahoo's Shutdown Corner ran a good piece today summarizing the agitated relationship between Colts owner Jim Irsay and quarterback Peyton Manning, with Irsay choosing the path of most resistance. Simply, Irsay places the "horseshoe" ahead of the player.Enough quips have been made about Irsay's fashion sense so I won't try and articulate how he clearly places the pinstripe ahead of common sense. However, I will say that this kind of statement, whether you… -
NFL chirpy about tweeting
26 Jan 2012 | 12:06 amAs the 24-hour news cycle churns through empty injury reports, mundane coaching signings and Tim Tebow's golfing schedule, one story stood out to me: the announcement that the NFL is allowing players to tweet during the Pro Bowl. Stop the press! Whoever thought such a commitment - one that has little to do with the clanging of helmets on the field - would stir so much web ink? Further still, who might have anything constructive to say after said clanging?Some valid points have already been raised about the insincerity and oddity of players tweeting during a pro football game, especially on… -
Rex: Not sexy option, but...
25 Jan 2012 | 10:10 pmA recent post on Larry Brown Sports sets Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman straight, which is something the blogging world and media generally needs more of. The trouble is that Rex, being Rex, has a false sense of confidence due to his arm strength, which remains true. He can indeed zip it, and has done so in big games, particularly to opponents who revel in receiving his wayward deliveries. Can the Skins really continue with Rex? It seems they will, at least in a secondary role. Though judging from some of the comments on Hog Haven this month, fans aren't thrilled with Grossman's 20… -
NY Giants: bigger and bluer, in the end
25 Jan 2012 | 12:19 amIt began in sections, like the disjointed parts of a Picasso painting: angled, rounded and unusually colored. We were ushered into the NFC Championship with a rousing anthem and then drawn closer through a clouded lens. The darkened sky, sullen with gray water, rapidly descended upon Candlestick and the event became challenging, beyond its fundamental conflict, that is. The ball, soaked and looking more like a stone, suddenly slipped on the pass and bobbled on the carry. And with the game tied at seven early in the second stanza, who might have predicted the outcome of this title bout with… -

Steelers QB Roethlisberger Not Happy the Way Bruce Arians Situation Went Down
28 Jan 2012 | 12:19 amIn just reading the comments from Steelers franchise QB Ben Roethlisberger, it sounds like he’s not all that happy with the teams dismissal of his friend and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. Roethlisberger wants answers, and says he will look for and try to talk to team president Art Rooney II when he returns to Pittsburgh. Big Ben is currently in Hawaii getting ready for the Pro Bowl on Sunday. “When I get back I’m going to go up to Mr. Rooney’s office and ask him what he wants from me, what he wants from this offense, because I think that’s a viable question… -
Marty Mornhinweg Returning To the Eagles as OC in 2012
28 Jan 2012 | 12:01 amAfter every head coaching position had been filled, it is a lock that long-time offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2012 season. Mornhinweg was a name being tossed around for nearly every head coaching vacancy, and he actually did interview with the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders. However, both organizations went in another direction and hired another coach, leaving Mornhinweg to stay with the Eagles. There is almost no chance that Mornhinweg would consider leaving, or would be fired, as he and head coach Andy Reid built around each… -

♠ Patriots and Giants In The SuperBowl ♠
23 Jan 2012 | 10:48 amThis superbowl will be held in the Colt's stadium this year. Unfortunately, the colts won't play in it. The Patriots will play against the Giants in the superbowl. This will be a good offense versus a good defense. Victor Cruz and Hakeen Nicks will be the people to watch from the Giants. Grownkowski, Woodhead, and Green-Ellis will be the people to watch from the Patriots. This will be the end of a great NFL season. -

19 Dec 2011 | 8:50 amThe Falcons are 9-5 coming of a win Thursday night. The defense stepped up with their top players plagued with injuries. The offense also stepped up and synced.

My favorite rookie Jacquizz Rodgers finally gets him a nfl touchdown. Julio Jones another rookie grabs to more. The Jaguars also played a good game sunday to beat the Buccaneers 41-14. This Thursday will show who has more determination the Falcons or the Jaguars.

Senior Bowl 2012: Players with Most to Prove in Mobile

Why David Thomas' absence is going to hurt down the stretch
26 Nov 2011 | 10:32 amA couple of years back, during our Super Bowl winning campaign, I used to flippantly joke that David Thomas was a future Hall of Famer. I did this from a sense of Saints luxury.

NFL Players to Tweet Live From the Pro Bowl
27 Jan 2012 | 10:06 amAs the Social Media craze continues, the NFL is trying to capitalize and engage an already enormous audience via yet another method. The league has ruled that it will allow players to use Twitter at the Pro Bowl. This may very well be an attempt by the league executives to regain some interest in an exercise that is widely mocked and ridiculed. While getting voted to the Pro Bowl is certainly an honor, it is by no means a game in which anyone that is participating goes all out. Players are happy with the paycheck they get and the vacation to Hawaii, but subsequently do everything in… -

All reports indicate that nobody, including Celek, sustained injuries. The crash, apparently DUI related, occurred in South Philadelphia, however Celek is not expected to face any charges. Seeing as how the talented tight end turned 27 Wednesday evening, one can only speculate that he was returning home from the evening’s celebration. Celek released a statement through the organization that he did not know the driver of the vehicle… -

Talk of Cullen Jenkins to Green Bay Lingers On

This move would make perfect sense for the Packers, considering Jenkins’ stellar play this year; but that is the same reason it would be moronic for Philadelphia to entertain the offer despite his $25 million contract and $5 million roster bonus that is due in March.

While the Vikings have yet to outright fire Pagac they have officially removed his title as “offensive coordinator” Sources say that Pagac was offered a demotion to his old position of linebackers coach currently held by Mike Singletary. Nobody knows whether that is a sign that Singletary could be promoted to D-Coordinator or if the offer was made with prior knowledge that Pagac wouldn’t be interested. We’ll… -

Gov Dayton has set a deadline for Thursday (Today) for the due date for any and all proposals. The Shakopee location isn’t realistic and is already being written off.

28 Jan 2012 | 12:47 amNew York Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff has decided to forgo retirement for one more season and return to the New York Jets in 2012. Westhoff, who is regarded as one of the most innovative special teams coaches in the game, has coached 29 seasons in the NFL. Apparently he’s about ready to make that an even 30 before he calls it quits. The 65-year-old has been the Jets’ special teams coordinator since 2001, and the Jets special teams units have been among the best in the league nearly every year of Westhoff’s tenure. Seven different Jets have returned kickoffs… -
Rex Ryan and the Super Bowl Nightmare
25 Jan 2012 | 8:30 pmI thought to myself after the Giants won on Sunday night, what is Rex Ryan thinking?? Why did I wonder that question, the head coach of the New York Jets who is very vocal is looking at the team that shares a stadium with him and the Jets arch enemy the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. I thought to myself this has to be his worst nightmare. The Giants are the team that he considers the second best team in New York and the Patriots he says he isn’t afraid of and he didn’t come to New York to kiss Bill Belicheks rings. This is one that will make him not talk I would… -
New York Jets Hire Dave DeGuglielmo from the Miami Dolphins as New Offensive Line Coach
25 Jan 2012 | 12:45 pmThe New York Jets have hired a new offensive line coach after the departure of Bill Callahan to the Dallas Cowboys, hiring former Miami Dolphins offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo to the same position. DeGuglielmo spent the last three seasons working under new Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano when he was the head man in Miami, and he did a pretty good job over there. The Dolphins running game gained 1,987 yards in 2011, and the offensive line propelled Reggie Bush’s to his first career 1,000-yard season. Prior to his stint in Miami, DeGuglielmo was an assistant offensive line… -
Former New York Jets Receiver Braylon Edwards Open to Return, Would the Jets Bring Him Back?
24 Jan 2012 | 3:54 pmIt’s never too early to look ahead at the free agent market, especially if you’re one of the 30 NFL teams who are already in offseason mode. When the lockout ended last summer, there was a free agent frenzy unlike anything we’ve ever seen. During that period, the New York Jets re-signed wide receiver Santonio Holmes to a five-year contract. Lost in the flurry of action however was fellow Jets free agent receiver Braylon Edwards. He apparently felt slighted by what the Jets were offering him, and he ended up signing a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers. His tenure… -
New York Jets Guard Brandon Moore Makes His First Career Pro Bowl, a Long Overdue Honor
23 Jan 2012 | 2:50 pmWith the Super Bowl matchup between the New York Giants and New England Patriots now set, the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl rosters are being finalized in anticipation of Sunday’s All-Star contest. As per NFL rules, Pro Bowlers from the two conference champions are ineligible to play in the games, and the NFL replaces those players with alternates. The Giants had two Pro Bowlers in quarterback Eli Manning and defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul. (How receiver Victor Cruz did not make it is beyond me.) The Patriots had eight Pro Bowlers, which opened up a lot of spots in the AFC. Right guard…

Fan Fight 2: Who Would Win A Coach Swap?
27 Jan 2012 | 1:57 pmWe continue with our posts with Obnoxious Boston Fan at Boston.com. Here’s our latest fan fight: What would happen if the Giants and Pats swapped coaches? Today’s topic: How would each team fare with the other’s coach? Jeremy Fuchs says: While I’m happy with Tom Coughlin as the coach of Big Blue, I don’t mind engaging in a thought experiment: What if Bill Belichick was the coach of the Giants? We can start with the premise that the Giants would use a 3-4 defense; something the Giants would be ill-suited for. The Giants don’t have one decent middle… -

Film Review: Pats Offense
27 Jan 2012 | 6:04 amHey, enough celebrating, we have to focus on the Pats! We’ll do a film review, with the help of the all knowing Greg Cosell. -”First 3rd down (3rd + 3) the Ravens rushed 3 and dropped 8 out of nickel, They played 5 under/2 deep – Brady had nowhere to go with the ball.” Is this something we’ll see? Rush JPP, Tuck and Osi, and just drop everyone else back? On third downs only, of course, but it might be valuable. Or rush four and drop everyone else. Remember, Giants can get pressure with their front four, or even 3, so this might be used. -”RT Solder easily… -
