T O Ocho…

Oh boy, this might be the best AFC WR tandom in the NFL. People really under estimate the value of a ” across the middle” WR. Terrell Owens , in his career, hasn’t had a WR opposite of him that could help stretch the field. BUF showed the best chance. Now in CIN, Owens can split the spotlight and cause havoc on opposing teams secondaries and create more TDs thru the air. Fellow Pro Bowl WR Chad OchoCinco can now benefit by having a Pro Bowl WR along side him. OchoCinco can now show off his powerful double break routes. Always being double teamed slowed down his abilities to get open. When TJ Hous…. was with CIN, he allowed more options for the offense. CIN hasn’t had that type of WR like Owens. A void that hasn’t been filled since TJ Hous. With Tampa Native Caldwell at slot, CIN has the chance to throw themselves into contentions of winning the AFC Championship?

What do you think?

Shouldn’t This Sunday Be the Day?

Correct me if I’m wrong….. But shouldn’t the best athletes in all 22 positions allowed on the field, playing for there conference, be considered the superbowl? I mean you wouldn’t have a top notch car with bald beat up tires, or would you? For Real…. A car has to be completely perfect b4 they race…. Well if the ‘Superbowl & Pro Bowl are both game between the NFC vs AFC… Shouldn’t the Pro Bowl be more of a definite point of which conference is the best? I’m just saying tho… Wouldn’t you think that? So when I watch the Pro Bowl this week….. I’m gonna look at it in a different light…. The best of the best…. It doesn’t get any better…. As a natural cornerback that I am…. I will be the first to say congrats to the OL that made it…. Many people overlook the OL… NOTHING moves if they don’t… So shout out to the OL…. Well since we all know that Defense win championships… Shout out to Mike Jenkins from USF….
In conclusion, I believe the move by the NFL by putting the Pro Bowl before the Superbowl just washed the Glamour off the “Big Game”…. Now the Pro Bowl should be a contract tweeker…. College kids bust their @55 to impress NFL scouts…. Shouldn’t the Pro Bowl have kids, that love money, play harder amongst the Best to adjust their contract? Shoot I would….. Plus let’s not forget the Vincent Lombardi trophy signifies the best coach….

And Thats Why They Call It Football

And who said that kickers aren’t athletes? I bet it’s not Saints or Vikings fans…. Week 16 action has shown the two best teams in the NFC slip into the loss column…. First the Saints missed a game ending field goal with about :09 seconds left against the Bucs to only lose in overtime by a fieldgoal….. Then on Monday night football, the Vikings had a extra point blocked which caused them to go into overtime with the Bears…..Only To lose by a Jay Cutler deep pass….
Believe it or not, but the kickers, in certain situations, are the most important athletes on the field…. We need them to start the game off…. If we want to push the opponent away from their endzone after not making a first down…. And after a Touchdown, that extra point is priceless…. The New England Patriots won their 3 superbowls off the leg of Adam Vinnateri…. Don’t get me wrong, the other 52 players on a team are important also, but when the situation calls…. The kicker is the only player that is alone when they do what they do…. The RB’s can use linemen to help them glide into the endzone… QB’s can use WR to help them complete the game winning drive…. And even OL can use RB’s to sprint pass them to gain extra yardage…. But the kicker/holder combo at times are more important than a 300 yard rusher… 500 yard passer or a 2 touchdown defensive day…. Hence the name of the game…. “Football”

(Titan)ic Season

All I can say is “great season” when the discussion comes up about the Tennessee Titans…. I mean starting off 0-6.. And reaching 7 wins before the last game of the season is pretty good… We could just imagine if the combination of players would have started since day one… The future looks bright with the Titans…. Chris Johnson is chizzling himself in the “RB granite” of great RBs and Vince is just Vince…. Sad that Steve McNair couldn’t have seen his pupil rise out of the jaws of scrutiny…. But he will never be forgotten….

Unfortunately the loss to the San Diego Chargers, on Christmas night, cancelled all hopes of an extended season for the Titans…. The story of the 2009 Tennessee Titans will be one of adversity, struggle, and rejoice…. Hell and even perhaps record breaking….

(Titan)ic comeback

The 2009 Tennessee Titans dug themselves in a hole early in the season… So deep that it made fans think it’s time to pack it up for the remainder of the schedule…. Starting off 0-6 and a big blowout game by the hands of the Patriots, had fans hoping their Titans wouldn’t match the 2008 Lions winless record….. A stubborn Jeff Fisher continued to start a struggling Kerry Collins until the owner of the Titans demanded for back-up QB Vince Young to start…. Needless to say that was the spark that the Titans needed to get back on track…. On track to complete a 7-1 turn around to put them at a 7-7 record with possibilities of a playoff birth…. Never has a team that has fallen so far behind the pack, ever has gained ground so quickly…. Seeing the Titans in the playoffs just reassures that the “never say die” attitude exist and can be exhibited at anytime it’s applied….

Battle of the Undefeated

Wow…. New Orleans keeps finding a way to pull out a victory…. In OT or on TO on downs, New Orleans will find a way…. Playing from behind is something that has plagued them the last couple of games they have played…. But they still find a way to win….
Indianapolis is business as usual to them as they win their normal 13 consecutive game in a row…. The Colts 2nd team fits into the starting lineup without missing a beat…. Signs of a solid team….
So how sweet would it be if the Superbowl hosted two undefeated teams in the city where the records stands ?

Week 10 Results

Going back and looking at my “hunches” for week 10 predictions, I noticed I started off busted…. These are the teams I picked for week 10….

Bears…lose… C’mon Son!!! No offensive TD’s… Crazy… But Cutler did throw two picks in the redzone… Where was the running game for the Bears? The Bears did better when their QB was average… Can Cutler play under pressure?

Vikings….won
Broncos…lost.. Kyle Orton was knocked out the game
Panthers…won
Dolphins…won
Jets…lost
Saints…won
Titan…won
Steelers…lost
Chiefs…won
Packers…won
Eagles…lost
Patriots…lost
Ravens…won

8-5…. Wow not good, but hey the numbers didn’t lie…. The intangibles is what stained my record…. You can look at my loses and pick out a game changing situation….

Power football v.s. Finesse passing

“Power running is an art and an attitude!” , says coach Pete Arnold head coach of the A.Y.I.F.C champion jr. Buccaneers of Tampa, Fl….”You can throw for 400 yards and lose, but rush for 200 yards and win every time!”…..
So I looked back at all the great runningbacks and see that all rumningbacks that rushed for more than 200 yards in a game hasn’t lost….
My research was done from ’83 to the present……”rushing for that many yards controls the clock” says coach Arnold….
Which Is true….. Ball control, a majority of the time, wins games…..unless you have multiple turnovers….. The power running game has to consist of OL that can be brutal for four quarters….. The running game wears you down physically and mentally…. Frustrations builds for a defense when the offense is gaining at least 3 yards a carry…..

To some, the passing game is just as important to the offense as the running game….. The passing game puts pressure on the defense to execute precisely…..even though the defense has no clue where the player or ball is going…. Many people say “More things happen bad than good when you pass”….. Which sounds agreeable……but in this situation to me, the good outweighs the bad…..the worst that can happen on a pass is a “pick6″….. The worst thing that can happen on a completed pass is?
My point exactly…. The good outweighs the bad….. Then an effective passing game can open up the running game…. Barry Sanders was a great RB…. So being on a team that ran the spread…..it helped him even more…..Look at Marshall Faulk and his success….. He was on a pass oriented offense the dominated most defenses thru the pass…. His abilities added to this formula allowed the Rams to win Superbowl XXXV….. Throughtout history of the NFL, a team with a strong passing game and an effective running game has gone deep into the playoffs….. Bills of the late 80′s…..Cowboys of the early 90′s…..
Rams in the millenium….

So the verdict of this discussion is left open because these offenses can only go as far as the OL
