Revis vs. Megatron: The Winning Strategy of Turning an Island Into A Peninsula
I can’t wait for the day that Darrelle Revis’ knee is at full strength so he can reprise Revis Island against any receiver. His assignment on Calvin Johnson reveals that he’s not there yet. However, his performance on Sunday is a story of a great football player with new physical limitations and his coaching staff…

Mike Glennon Preview
I’m cautiously optimistic about Mike Glennon’s game thus far. He’s making sound decisions for the Buccaneers and when under heavy pressure, he’s doing a better job of throwing the ball away or taking the sack rather than throwing the ball up for grabs. However, the reason Glennon is performing so well is the team doing…

Bryce Brown and the NFL Parable of the Backup RB
This parable begins with Ricky Watters. The former 49er, Eagles, and Seahawk sports a mediocre career yards per carry average of 4.1 and bad rap for saying to the media “For who, for what?”.

QB Case Keenum: Color Me Impressed

I’ve kept a close eye on Case Keenum for the past three weeks. The first-time starter…

Mathieu is an incisive player and it’s easy to see this quality on the field. Here are two plays against…

“The Degradation of a Young Stud – Part I” Starring Robert Griffin
Sounds like an adult film, right? It is and it isn’t. What I witnessed from Washington’s passing offense against Denver this weekend was so nasty it will compel viewers take a long shower afterwards. Equally disturbing is that this film possesses a lot of elements of an exploitation flick. I had a difficult time watching an…
