I cant emphasis enough why Gil Brandt belongs in the HOF. I nominated him twice because he was the pioneer in scouting and still has one of the greatest minds in NFL history. I work with him all the time and he never ceases to amaze me
if the NFL gets rid of the Kickoff return it gets rid of the following 2017 stats- 7 TDs, 41 returns over 40 yards and 92 returns over 30 yards & over 200 returns over 25 yards..8 teams averaged over 30 yds a return..KEEP IT!
Seattle cut Dwight Freeney--in 4 gms had 3 sacks, 4 hits on the QB &4 TFL in 101 snaps which means 1 play every 9 snaps-he would look good as a Patriot
About 270 rookies will be on opening day rosters which is more than the number of rookies drafted. It was a great year for undrafted rookies. It looks like 51 CFA will get roster spots.
I think it’s time the NFL mandates at least 10 preseason practices open to the public. Many fans can’t afford going to games and this is their only chance to see their team
Dalvin Cook will come in to camp. If he doesn’t as a player with less than 4 yrs he will lose a year towards UFA and be restricted in 2021 also there is a 50k a day fine. His salary is 1.3 mil and his fines could reach 1.5 mil. He has no leverage.
Antonio Brown is self destructive right now and where is the Union, agent, and close friends to stop him from his social media rants. He is digging a hole not even the 70 million he grossed in the NFL will get him out of any time soon.
Since Eli Manning was drafted the Giants have had 13 first rd picks. There are only 3 left on the roster. Lots of reasons why but tough to win without them. Dave Gettleman & Pat Shurmur will get this turned around but it will take time
Suh is available! He has made 124 million in 8 years but has a 59-70 record and is 0-3 in playoffs..how about taking a lot less $$ and go to a championship team
Week 5 is over last year at this moment Colts were 1-4 finished 10-6, Houston 2-3 finished 11-5, Dal 2-3 finished 10-6, Phil 2-3 finished 9-7, and Sea 2-3 finished 10-6. All 5 made the playoffs
Jordan Love could come and go in GB before he ever plays. After 3 years the team will have to decide on a guaranteed option bonus for over 21 million. How do you do that if he never plays?
I’ve know Ron Rivera for close to 15 years he is a fine coach even a better person Carolina’s loss will be another team’s gain. I doubt the Panthers find a better coach than Ron
some thought the 54-1 KC-LAR game was the future! Not so fast..last week 12 teams won holding opponents under 18 points..Last night we witnessed the Raven defense hold LAC to 10 points & ould be another big defense weekend.
I’ve seen lots of dumb thing in my years In and around the NFL but firing Amy Placic in Houston is right up there with the worst! A smart team should hire her today. Also the person who did this needs to go
it might be time for those who criticized Dave Gettleman over his pick of Daniel Jones to recognize he know what he’s doing. To soon for that? People attacked him right after the pick without studying the player
Bill. O’Brien said to me people love the rhythm of the game and I say penalties stop the rhythm of the game, Over the last 5 yrs there was and average of 4,095 penalties called This year we are on pace for 4,495 penalties. 493 more penalties is not good rhythm!
6 of the 12 teams that presently qualify for the playoffs have defensive head coaches. Owners need to hire the best leader of men not some guy just because he is from the offensive side of the ball.
NFL coaches have challenged 40 calls and had just 11 overturned. 10 coaches have not challenged once. Ron Rivera is 0-3. Coaches I spoke with this week are very frustrated
just finished up my film study of Mike McGlinchey the ND left tackle and he is my top tackle and attime reminded me of JoeThomas when he came out of college
keep up the good work NFL officials...leave the flag in your pocket. Last week NFL games averaged 10.2 penalties per game...for the year it is about 14 per game down from 2017 when it was 16 per game..the less breaks in the action the better!
Last week was a good reason I love NFL football...There were 8 game winning drives! Mariota, Watson, Mahomes, Prescott, Dalton, Wilson, Carr & Rivers provided the thrills.
If each NFL game averages 5 'lowering the helmet penalties' and I think that might be low...then there could be 1,280 more penalties in 2018 and each penalty will average 3 minutes that means 15 more minutes to each game and lots of stoppages
Love Lamar great player & a unique talent but not every team wants to play his style. it’s now his job to bring a deal he wants to Ozzie and the Balt(Ozzie spoke for the Ravens today) The Union approved the FT and if he had an agent he might have done a deal hope he stays healthy
Yesterday on our radio show Moving the Chains Steeler fans called in to react to Le'Veon Bell's decision not to take a long term deal...to my surprise 100% said they were ok with playing him for one year and moving on!
The IR rule needs to be changed and now I have head coaches supporting that ( off the record) 235 on IR and only 64 can come back! The fans and coaches deserve better
Every NFL owner has to learn how to own a team. Many of these men struggled early because of mistakes they made or as one successful owner told me ‘ these guys buy teams and think the way they ran the other businesses is the way to run a team’ Mr Tepper is going to learn
Saturday evening while waiting for my friend Gil Brandt to be inducted into the HOF I sat and talked with my old friend Don Banks. We worked together at . A few hours later he passed away. May he Rest In Peace.
Looks like 8 teams will play without their starting left tackle this week. As one GM said to me ‘There aren’t 32 guys on the planet that can play left tackle well’ Could be a rough day for quarterbacks!
Look what has happened to the 3teams that let their best wr go-Hopkins-Houston 0-2, Diggs-Minnesota 0-2, Anderson-NYJ 0-2 meanwhile the 3 WR have 59 rec. for 681 yds.
