Factoid

C.J. Spiller

May 5, 2015
He catches the ball really well, and the Saints throw to their backs more than anyone...

Marcus Mariota

May 4, 2015
Mariota will need more development. He needs to be taught how to take snaps, call plays and drop back. More notably, he doesn’t have much experience reading or adjusting to coverages...

Baltimore running backs

May 3, 2015
All of this peaked last year when Matt Forte caught 102 passes, of course, but he’s just the lastest in a long line of backs who’ve caught lots of balls under Trestman. In the last 20 years, only ...

Chicago Bears

May 2, 2015
But Trestman definitely has offensive skills...

Gurley and Gordon

May 1, 2015
To me, Gurley looks pretty similar to a lot of the other running backs who’ve been selected in the first and second rounds in recent years...

Steve Smith Sr.

April 30, 2015
The Ravens have some other receivers that have flashed some ability...

Winston and Mariota

April 30, 2015
In this century, 16 quarterbacks have been selected in the top 4 overall. Of that group, half have had really good careers. Of the remaining eight, I’m putting the “maybe” sticker on half of them...

Rookie Quarterbacks: College completions

April 28, 2015
One useful statistic, it seems, is completion percentage in the final year of college. Many quarterbacks who display lesser accuracy in college never get that corrected in the NFL...

Jameis Winston

April 27, 2015
The Bucs have spent considerable time looking into Jameis Winston’s background, interviewing former teammates, coaches, teachers and associates. Seventy five interviews, according to one report...

Tampa running backs

April 26, 2015
But Sims was awfully awful last year. He averaged only 2.8 yards per carry, and he actually lost yards at an alarming rate...

Rookie Running Backs

April 26, 2015
Last year, only one rookie runner reached 1,000 yards; only one reached 800, in fact. On the bright side, eight rookie runners finished between 500-800 rushing yards...

Miami Dolphins

April 25, 2015
By my count (and I don’t think I missed any) ten other teams in this century have failed to have a winning record three straight years then brought back the same coach to try, try again. Four of t...

First two quarterbacks drafted

April 23, 2015
Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, in some order, will be the first two quarterbacks selected in next week's draft, both with top-10 picks...

Julio Jones

April 22, 2015
Normally with Shanahans, we tend to think of running backs gone wild...

Kickers accuracy

April 21, 2015
Consider, for example, the league’s 40-something kickers, Adam Vinatieri, Matt Bryant and Phil Dawson...
