Can Shields handle the nickel back position?
Posted on 9 Sep 2010 by Mitch McLaughlin.
A defense’s 12th player isn’t usually such a crucial position, but for the Green Bay Packers, that player might determine the fate of this year’s talented team. Heading into its Week 1 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, it appears Green Bay will be counting on undrafted rookie Sam Shields to play that vital role. And not just play it, play it well. Green Bay is in its second season run...

Spartans Could be Dangerous on Offense in 2010
Posted on 18 Aug 2010 by David Lesmeister.
Coming off a disappointing 2009 season, the Michigan State football team is looking to rebound as a dark horse in the Big Ten. Expectations were high last year and the Spartans struggled to a 6-7 record. The good news was that 5 of their 7 losses were by a combined 23 points and that they went to a bowl game for the 2nd straight year. The bad news was that it was the same old thing that has ha...

What to expect from the 49ers Defence in 2010
Posted on 12 Aug 2010 by Jason Rossi.
To compliment my first blog , let me tell you how I think the 49ers defence will do this year. It was clear at the end of last year that their defence was their stronger side of the ball. They finished 6th in rushing defence and were tied for 3rd in sacks. The 49ers also have one of the premier middle linebackers in the NFL, in Patrick Willis. Coming into this season, it was expected ...

Resurrection?
Posted on 9 Jul 2010 by Mike Luciano.
Contrary to my expectations, it turned out to be an eventful July 1st for the New Jersey Devils. In the week that followed, the Devils have been on the inactive side since they, along with the majority of NHL seem hung on waiting for the decision of a certain someone on where they'll play this fall. Hoping this certain someone would have signed by now, I wanted to wait on him before eval...

Magic @ Celtics-History in the Making?
Posted on 27 May 2010 by Danny Shapiro.
Just when we thought the NBA Playoffs would disappoint with two sweeps in the Conference Finals, Orlando and Phoenix rise from their graves to win two straight games and keep their Title hopes alive. Orlando has faced elimination for two straight games now, and for two straight games they’ve been able to win, including an Overtime victory in Boston in Game 4. Now I know it’s a bit premature...

Posted on 22 Apr 2010 by Daryl Miller.
Bengals Will Wait to See Who is There – Cincinnati Holds Pick Twenty-One With winning comes waiting. Many organizations are perfectly used to waiting to the end of the draft line to make a selection in the NFL Draft. Sadly, the Bengals are more familiar with being the team that gets tons of ink as everyone and his brother fills millions of characters in cyberspace and hours of camera ...

Through the Looking Glass to July 1 – assessing the market for Defensemen
Posted on 27 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
This summer is going to be a very interesting one hockey-wise. With the cap likely going down and an inordinate amount of unrestricted free agents, roster turnover is going to be substantial in the offseason with teams looking to promote from within for good value contracts. In the first of three segments, here is a look at the market for defensemen. Note that it was assumed that every RFA will...

What it means to Prevayle; Iowa-OSU
Posted on 13 Nov 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
A true champion will continue fighting even when the going gets tough. My mother, Gayle, is that kind of champion. Life has handed her lemons and you should see the batch of lemonade she made. The circumstance tried to break her down and she stood up and towered over the situation. Not only did she not look back, she led the march forward. She has yet to see an obstacle in her effort to accompl...

This will be a test for them as they go up against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons The 49ers defens...

49ers rough up Orton, pick up first win of preseason
Posted on 19 Aug 2009 by Zach Arce.
Preseason action has gone underway and the 49ers fans were very happy to be able to see their team take the home field as they hosted the Denver Broncos for some preseason action. There were some crucial battles to keep in mind, mainly the 49ers QB battle. Shaun Hill got the start for the 49ers and didn't play much. Hill only played very limited time and did complete his only two pass att...

Ravens Draft Prowess
Posted on 22 Apr 2009 by Lea Anderson.
Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens have proved to be patient about getting what they want when they want it (e.g. Fabian Washington, Dawan Landry, Joe Flacco) which has led to plenty of success in middle to late rounds of the draft. According to an article in the New York Times last week, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/19/sports/football/19ravens.html?_r=2&ref=sports , the Ravens are ranked No...
