New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards Eludes a Suspension in 2010

Posted: 26th June 2010 by Daniel Wolf in NFL
New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards just caught a break. At least he cannot drop this one (sorry, couldn't resist). Reported by NBC Sports, Edwards will avoid any suspension from Roger Goodell and the NFL league office for getting into a fight with a friend of NBA Superstar LeBron James at a Downtown Cleveland nightclub just days before getting traded to New York. Rumors were circulating around the NFL that Edwards would ...

NFC South Preview: Tradition of Surprises Will End in 2010

Posted: 26th June 2010 by John Breitenbach in NFL
Quarterbacks What more is there to say that hasn't already been said about Saint Brees? He truly elevated himself into the top NFL echelon and now has a ring to prove it. Undoubtedly a top 3 guy, Drew Brees moved himself ahead of Brady in my rankings and is tied with Peyton Manning. Falcons' QB Matt Ryan is the best "young" QB around. He had an incredible rookie year leading a team seemingly ...
As went Troy Brown and Wes Welker, as went the Patriots offense. If the Patriots needed a tough catch, Tom Brady would seek out No. 80 then and No. 83 now. Just as Drew Bledsoe had Ben Coates, Brady has been blessed with two players in his career that seemed to read his mind.  Brady threw it and they caught it. Simple as that. Brown and Welker were cut from the same cloth and ...

Posted: 26th June 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
We all know that Ben Roethlisberger has been, essentially, torn to pieces by not only the media, but by fans. And not just by opposing fans like he’s used to. Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers have been railing him for his off the field actions as well. I’m one of the guilty parties, and for that, I must apologize to not only Roethlisberger, but ...

Seems Brett Favre—the "now-I'm-retired-now-I'm not" man—is getting downright decisive in his old age. Favre, the future Hall-of-Fame QB with a long resume of legendary playoff meltdowns, told the Biloxi Sun-Herald on Thursday that he still feels he can play at a "high level" after 20 seasons, and he would love to go beat the Saints ...

Will The San Diego Chargers Go To a 4-4 Pass Scheme?

Posted: 26th June 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
What is a 4-4 pass scheme? Well, it's not exactly proper football terminology, but in terms of making a descriptive article title, I don't know a better expression. The signing Thursday of Dedrick Epps surprised me. Not because he isn't any good. He is. Not because the Chargers seventh draft pick was a throwaway, it wasn't. But because the Chargers roster already boasts three signed and contracted tight ends—Antonio Gates, ...
