To finally hear the news out of Tampa Bay that Byron Leftwich is now leading the pack of many quarterbacks, is music to my ears. I've been saying this entire off-season that if the Buccaneers are going anywhere this year they are going to need Byron as the quarterback. In the Buccaneers offense Leftwich has more tools around him then he every had as a starter in Jacksonville. He's got a true N0.1 receiver i ...

People that play fantasy football may have never heard of Jaguars receiver Mike Walker and that is understandable. Walker is now in his third season in the league and has suffered with injury in his first two seasons in the league. In his rookie season he missed the entire year due to injury and then last year after showing promise in a few games he went down again. This third year receiver is now healthy a ...

This entire summer I've been talking up Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck as a nice sleeper quarterback to take this season. When I read the news today that Matt has been working in the shot gun and T.J. Houshmandzadeh is looking sharpe in camp it made me like this quarterback even more. What I probably like most about the Seahawks is that they are a team that had a very bad season a year ago. That might ...

This week in camp Kyle Orton and a few other players have been booed during the Broncos camps for bad play. While this is the NFL and fans will boo bad plays and cheer good ones, I have to wonder if Denver fans are channeling this boo really towards the organization and it's new head coach. I'm not a Broncos fan and I've not attended these camps but Bronco fans have and have done so in record fashion this o ...

This off-season Darren Sproles and LaDainian Tomlinson are trying to convince head coach Norv Turner they should have special plays to line up together in the backfield. At this point in time coach Turner has balked at the idea because he believe they will have trouble picking up the blitzing assignments. If the running backs can convince their head coach to add packages with the two runners on the field it ...

This week the Atlanta Falcons first got news that Roddy White was a no show to camp in hope of getting a new contract. Then the organization received much worse news when their talented young receiver Harry Douglas tore his ACL and is now done for the season. With the loss of Douglas and White contract negotiations going very slow one has to wonder if the Falcons passing game will be strong this year. Secon ...

Today the Patriots traded for linebacker/ defensive end Derrick Burgess from the Oakland Raiders. New England gave up a third and fifth round pick in the 2010 draft for the pass rush specialist. Burgess is coming off his worst season (3.5 sacks) since 2004 when he had only 2.5 sacks that season. In large part Burgess's numbers were down due to the fact that he only played in only ten games last year. Before ...

It's been a very disappointing start for receiver Robert Meachem in New Orleans so far in his career. In Roberts first season on the team he didn't even find his way into the football field as he played in zero contests that season. Last season Meachem did show flashes when Marques Colston was out with four touchdowns (one rushing) and a blistering hot 24.1 yards per catch! Unfortunately he only had 12 catc ...

With so much going on for the Denver Broncos this off-season it is easy to lose site at what a great season Eddie Royal had in his rookie year. Last season Royal had team rookie receiving records for 980 yards and 91 receptions. This was a very productive year and he makes for a fine compliment to Brandon Marshall in this teams passing game. The biggest shame to me is that we will never know what these two ...

Steve Slaton fell into the middle rounds of the 2008 NFL draft because scouts didn't feel he was big enough to handle feature role duty's. This was understandable as Steve's playing weight in college was only 190 pounds. At the start of the '08 season Ahman Green was supposed to be the starter and Slaton would come in and play second fiddle in the running game. But in the first game of the season Green went ...
