I decided to fool around with my pass rusher rankings the other night and thought it might make an interesting post as we wind down the season. The way I try to look at pass rushers is a bit different so I’ll explain the methodology using the Chiefs’ Justin Houston, who rates as my most […]
I had talked about the Giants a bit on the podcast this week and then came across this piece on the Giants by Bart Hubbuchof the NYPost and I thought it made an interesting topic to discuss here as well since this is clearly a team with big decisions to make. It’s easy to find […]
[adsenseyu1] We take our first look at the NFC North contracts with the Minnesota Vikings Best Contract: John Sullivan Though he does not have the name recognition of Ryan Kalil, Alex Mack, or Maurkice Pouncey, John Sullivan is every bit as good if not better than the biggest name (and highest paid) Centers in the […]

[adsenseyu1] Proclaiming that the Dallas Cowboys have salary cap issues is no revelation. But while Jerry Jones’ problems with the cap have been well documented, the Cowboys’ cap mess is more alarming than people realize. Actions carry consequences in all marks of life. Although shortsighted front office-men sometimes operate without regard to this principle, the […]
