"I'm licking my chops," Freeney said. "All these rookies coming out? They don't know anything. I can't wait." "I couldn't wait to hit Mark Sanchez," he said. "And I can't wait to hit Tim Tebow even more." In order to keep up with and take advantage of the green horned lads, while trying to break away from allowing the hands of time have their way with him, Freeney, who turned 30 this year, ...

Last Monday, the Super Bowl contending Minnesota Vikings, lacking depth at wide receiver, quietly improved the team even more by claiming an obscure free agent, to many in the media and most fans, off waivers.   Marko Mitchell excelled at flanker at the University of Nevada-Reno.  He caught 51 balls for 1,129 yards (21.3 average) and eight TDs in 2007, and 61 balls for 1,141 yards (18.7 average) and 10 TDs in ...

Only five teams in NFL history have accomplished having three receivers pulling off 1,000 yards in a single season. The most recent have been the 2004 Colts and the 2008 Cardinals. And the Green Bay Packers have a chance to be the sixth. The player that is locked to have 1,000+ yards next season is Greg Jennings. Jennings had the third best yard average among 1,000 yard receivers last season, as I ...

After a highly anticipated and promising career turned into a train wreck and a failure, it seemed that Mike Williams was done. But after a two year absence from the game, it looks like Williams is back. For Williams, the story begins at the University of Southern California, where he wasted no time in proving himself to be among the nation's best. When he first entered USC, he was an immediate starter. ...

Today, the subject is the Detroit Lions. To everybody who has been following this series, I will be out this next week on vacation. I will resume with the Green Bay Packers next Monday! Biggest Strength: Tight End Since this is the position where the Lions have the most talent (other than QB), I decided to make this the Lions' biggest strength. Plus, we still don't know that Matthew Stafford can get ...

In perhaps what has been the most active offseason for the Detroit Lions, one has to wonder if Martin Mayhew and Company are actually building the team to get to the playoffs in 2010. Before anyone calls me crazy, I'm not recanting my hope they go 8-8. I still agree with most Lions fans that a six or seven win season seems more realistic. The schedule is fairly brutal. Depending on ...

NASCAR fans call the period between Homestead and Daytona “silly season.” A whole lot of nothing happens and only rule changes, racing teams, and rumors are discussed. NFL fans are now in that parallel universe, where the only news is no news. Commentators either say a whole lot of nothing or go into hibernation.   Someone woke Six Points up from the long slumber. It’s now time to add to the vast expanse of nothingness ...

The Bears offensive line had a tough time protecting new quarterback Jay Cutler last season.  Coming into this season, the line is basically the same as it was last year minus the aging Orlando Pace.  Also, their new offensive coordinator, Mike Martz, is probably going to be calling a lot more pass plays next season, which means that the line is going to be blocking a lot more.  Can they do ...

After a fine first season under rookie head coach Rex Ryan and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez that culminated with the Jets falling just short of a Super Bowl appearance, it's safe to say that the Jets won't be sneaking up on anybody in 2010. The Jets will appear on HBO's Hard Knocks this summer and it'll give teams a sneak peek about what's to come this year. In a lot of ways, ...
