1982 was the first year individual sacks were individually tallied, so they were working through issues. If you go to a Cleveland Browns play-by-play, for example, from the 1970 they often listed 3 tacklers. So what did you do when that was a sack, well, in this case they issued 1/3 of a sack to the...

Can't help thinking Trestman deserves another chance without Cutler. Last year they were one of the highest scoring offenses with a journeyman quarterback. McCown said last year he was never more prepared for a game since Trestman was his coach. The comparison was made by others already, but Cutler...

Timmons was a really poor choice, not so much about who didn't make it but more about that he did when there was multiple choices better than him. Wrap it up with something I've been posting on our forums for a handful of years now, since I've gone on about it before I'll leave it at merely pointin...

I think the biggest challenge, wouldn't want to put words in his mouth - my thoughts only, with a book like this is deciding what to leave out. So much new information is shared that it raises more and more questions that can probably only be answered with a 2000 page version of this same book or wi...

. . . . After all, this is highly double top secret information. Wouldn't want it getting in the hands of that annoying general public. I'll actually attempt to give a real answer here, maybe it'll satisfy you, maybe not - but frankly I have no need for all the adolescent sniping. John and I have, ...

Reaser wrote:Well I typed something up and hit post and then it said I had to sign in (already was signed in - hence I was responding to the thread) and naturally it lost everything I typed, so that's cool.

Thoughts on the DB's - particularly Peterson?

Many media outlets do this, but given the deeply infirmed opinions of most here on the forum I always enjoy our Pro Bowl (and All Pro in a couple weeks) reaches and snubs. To me, there were few egregious Jeff Saturday's inclusion, Richard Sherman's exclusion type misses this year. But here are my in...

Gotta say I'm with Reaser (and Jack Lambert) on this. Staying healthy is luck, and a skill. There's a reason Bob Sanders had a short career, Troy Polamalu has had a precipitous decline, etc., etc. That said, you get a Martin Gramaticca blowing out an ACL jumping to celebrate a made FG. But it's all ...

Assuming Trestman is fired(that's a pretty safe bet at this point based on all reports) has there ever been as short and disastrous coaching hire? Even a guy like Dave Shula got 5 years. Trestman took over a 10-6 and in two seasons has them finishing either 5-11 or 6-10 and will be out of a job. Th...

Eric's column on pick 6's had a lot of interesting information. re: Nelson being underrated. Maybe 3-4 years ago? He had all those stats in 2011 so I would assume most became aware of him then, if they weren't already - especially as Ron points out, he was or should have been a known player at and ...
