  By the time the NFL offseason hits late May, interesting football news is hard to come by. The free agent market has dried up and ESPN has begun the annual Brett Favre watch. I will not succumb to discussing whether No. 4 will return for another season. Nor will I break down every possible scenario in the Albert Haynesworth stand-off (the way things look now, it appears as if Haynesworth will ...

It's been called the most important position on the team. Few other positions in pro sports are compared to it. And it's very name is synonymous with all that is fame and glory in the world of pro sports. This position is none other than the position of a NFL quarterback. With so much riding on the QB, teams are eager to feature their star passers. Some players, however, are under pressure whether their GMs ...

After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Tennessee Titans, LenDale White was sent to the Seattle Seahawks as part of an NFL Draft day trade. White will now be reunited with his former college coach Pete Carroll, who was hired this offseason to be the new head coach of the Seahawks. White spent his rookie season with the Titans mainly backing up running back Travis Henry, and seeing ...

One of the most exciting bits of news from Cleveland Browns OTAs is that they will run a new version of the wildcat formation in 2010. Fans may not see the new wildcat in the preseason so that the Browns do not tip their hat to opposing teams, but with all the possibilities of arranging both Josh Cribbs and Seneca Wallace in this formation, the thought of it is scary. Both Cribbs ...

Dear Ahman Green, It's no secret that you're regarded as one of the greatest players to have ever worn a Green Bay Jersey. You're the all-time franchise rushing leader and truly a gifted player. Your days in Lambeau Field have been greatly missed. Seeing you play last year was a privilege, even if some didn't think you were contributing. I, for one, believe that you still have what it takes for at ...

With the NFL Draft nearly a month behind us, it is time to close out our 2010 coverage with a stab at the 2010-2011 All Rookie Team. The selections are based on a combination of talent, opportunity and gut instinct. While it would be easy to just select first and second rounders there are some surprise selections mixed in.   DT: Ndamukong Suh (Detroit) and Dan Williams (Arizona)—Suh will be the anchor for ...

Tom Cable used a powerful phrase during his press conference on May 19. The phrase was "situational football." What does this phrase mean to the average fan? An attempt to define the phrase and to make connections will be given. First, situational football assumes that the coaches have a collection of scenarios which cover almost all of the possibilities of actions and reactions on the football field. In another area, the following conditions must be ...

One of the more in vogue clichés heard in NFL circles is that it's a “quarterback driven league.” Certainly in recent years, the quarterback spot has been a strong indicator of team success in the NFC West. In the last two seasons, Kurt Warner helped the Cardinals rise above their division rivals. Before that, Matt Hasselbeck took the Seahawks to the playoffs and one Super Bowl, while playing his way to the Pro ...

There was no doubt going into this off-season that the secondary competition in Eagles training camp was going to be something everyone would be watching. However, with certain developments taking place this week, the competition may be more interesting than we first expected. Macho Harris, who was thought to be in the free safety competition, is now taking reps at cornerback, opposite Asante Samuel. The Eagles have Marlin Jackson running with the first ...

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be celebrating after a lot of touchdowns during the upcoming 2010 season. I expect Rodgers, who threw for 30 touchdowns, 4,434 yards, and just 7 interceptions while also rushing for 316 yards and 5 touchdowns during the regular season in 2009 to be even better in his third season as a starter. This will be the year where Brett Favre's protege ...
