Life after Brett Favre wasn't expected to be easy, regardless of "plans" Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson may have had. The truth is, they were lucky in 2007, as they avoided major injuries for the most part, and rolled to a 13-3 season behind their veteran quarterback. However, despite Aaron Rodgers stepping ...Published on: 18th July, 2009
(Above: Regardless of opinions, he'll always be a Packer.) I just watched a Brett Favre montage this morning, and something dawned on me. The media and NFL fans are hating on Favre way too much. But then I realized something else. It's not necessarily what we think about him now that matters. What is ...Published on: 17th July, 2009
There won't be a Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco this year. Mark Sanchez could see his team get the playoffs, but it will undoubtedly not be because he throws for 3,000 yards and 20+ touchdowns. There's not going to be an Adrian Peterson, or a slew of Chris Johnson's, Steve Slaton's, and ...Published on: 9th July, 2009
Let's be honest. Brett Favre signing with the Vikings is as good as done. It won't be huge news. Well, not as big as it might have been had he kept the rumors quiet through all this time, but in recent weeks, despite "thinking" we knew he'd come back, we've begun to ...Published on: 9th July, 2009
No matter how much people pigeon-hole him into the cliche' "lead-blocking" role, Brian Leonard is always going to wake up in the morning the same way: as a running back. The fact is, he isn't slow. He does have moves, and he is agile. Several sites across the web (count them-it's probably ...Published on: 8th July, 2009
Thomas Jones will be 31 in August, yet his spot as the New York Jets' starting running back is finely cemented. Rookie Shonn Greene has somehow already earned the "closer" role, while the bit-size Leon Washington continues his change-of-pace role. Great. So, where does that leave Danny Woodhead? Who? This guy. Still don't know who ...Published on: 7th July, 2009
(Left: Can Kenny Britt help open up Tennessee's passing game?) It's always nice to find gems in the late rounds, but somehow a little nicer when they are first year players. Last year, when I wrote a Top Ten Rookie Report, I made a list in week one that featured Eddie Royal ...Published on: 7th July, 2009
Whether you're a Jacksonville fan or an eager fantasy owner anticipating your first round move for your draft, Maurice Jones-Drew and his immediate future are in your sights. At least, it should be. Considering all the amazing things he's done in his short career, all while splitting carries with the Jaguar legend ...Published on: 7th July, 2009
(Left: The face of the UFL?) J.P. Losman may not be the guy holding the UFL's head above water, but he's the poster boy for what the new league is attempting to accomplish. This league is all about bringing an NFL-like game to cities that don't get the luxury of having an ...Published on: 7th July, 2009
(Above: Some are selecting MJD number one, overall.) As with the receivers and quarterbacks, this list is here to split up the A's from the B's, and let you know where to draft guys, roughly. Okay, so Adrian Peterson is your running back with the first pick. That was easy. Hell, Yahoo ...
