Why did Mike Shanahan bench Donovan McNabb
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 5:39 PM
[General]
Had Shanahan made the decision early in the fourth quarter, then maybe I could understand. But with 110 seconds left? On a lastditch effort to win? There's no defense for that.
In doing this, Shanahan created a discussion that will dominate attention in D.C. and throughout the NFL for at least the next two weeks (the Redskins have a bye on Sunday) and likely throughout the rest of the year. Is McNabb still his starter? What happens if he has to run the twominute drill later in the next game (which happens to be a Monday night affair against McNabb's exteam, the Philadelphia Eagles)? Will the quarterback be back next year? If not, why did they trade for him? The questions are endless. Worst of all, none of them would have been asked had Shanahan stayed the course with McNabb instead of overreacting by putting in Rex Grossman.
On the drive before his benching, McNabb and the Redskins faced second and 10 from their own 28yard line. It was the natural time to run the hurryup offense. But McNabb called a huddle. If there was any urgency, the quarterback didn't outwardly show it. The firstdown play (a 10yard pass to Santana Moss(notes) that came after a holding call) had come with 3:00 left in the game. The next snap went off with 2:29. Thirtyone seconds to run one play. That suggests Shanahan is right when he says McNabb isn't good with the twominute offense. He's strolling when he should be sprinting.
Shanahan said he benched McNabb with 1:45 left in the game and the Redskins down by six points because Grossman was more familiar running the team's twominute offense. Really? As Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog points out, McNabb has been familiar enough with the twominute offense to run it all season, including in an almostidentical situation last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
We all know what happened next. Before anyone could figure out why Grossman was under center instead of McNabb:
To say that Mike Shanahan made a mountain out of a molehill by benching Donovan McNabb(notes) late in the Washington Redskins loss to the Detroit Lions would be inaccurate. Since there was no previous problem with McNabb and no clamoring for the quarterback to be replaced by backup Rex Grossman(notes), there wasn't even a molehill. There was nothing. Shanahan magically conjured a mountain out of thin air. He made something out of nothing.
The excuse seemed forced,Cheap Tennessee Titans Jerseys, like it was concocoted on the slow walk to the locker room. Shanahan didn't pull McNabb because Grossman knows the offense better,Cheap Chiefs Jerseys, he pulled him because he thought Grossman gave the team a better chance to win. The excuse was even dumber than the decision, which in itself was absurd. How can Shanahan have thought that a cold Rex Grossman coming into the game and taking a snap behind a shoddy offensive line was better than Donovan McNabb doing the same?
My guess is Shanahan's ego got in the way. "My offense is good enough to win, but you're not good enough to execute it correctly. Let's see if someone else can get it done."
Not that McNabb is a victim in all of this. He's been a mediocre quarterback this season and was even worse than that in Detroit. McNabb was underthrowing receivers, holding onto the ball for too long and getting intercepted in the fourth quarter on a pass that was carelessly heaved into triple coverage. (It eventually led to the gamewinning score.) Every ball felt like it was coming out of his hands a little too late. The timing was completely off.
The rest, as they say, is left to history ... and talk radio.
That's not exactly breaking news,Cheap Dolphins Jerseys, though. McNabb has never been great with the twominute drill. Shanahan knew that when he brought him in, knew that when he started the season and knew that every other time he's had McNabb run the twominute offense this season. So what changed?
Even McNabb's big completions came on bad throws. Twice he hit Redskins receivers for gains over 40 yards, but each time the ball was severely mistimed or underthrown. The receivers had to break their route and slow down to get the ball, which turned easy touchdowns into mere big gains. He was playing poorly enough to get pulled. He was also proving that his comfort with the twominute offense was uneasy, at best.

LeBron James bashes Trent Dilfer on Twitter
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 5:39 PM
[General]
4. LeBron is right about one thing: Dilfer couldn't dream of doing what Peyton has done of late. In the last three games, Manning has thrown eight interceptions in three consecutive losses. Dilfer never had such a bad stretch during his 13year career.
[Related: Top 10 NBA players for the buck]
5. Trent Dilfer: one ring. Peyton Manning: one ring. LeBron James: zero rings.
[Rewind: More odd statements from LeBron]
LeBron James is a sensitive soul, so sensitive, in fact, that his thin skin extends to other star athletes who are getting criticized. The twotime NBA MVP was watching "SportsCenter" the other night when he saw NFL analyst Trent Dilfer(notes) breaking down Peyton Manning's(notes) recent disappointing performances. As Manning has thrown eight interceptions in three straight losses, Dilfer obviously wasn't too complimentary with his remarks.
So fired up was LeBron about this,Cheap Lions Jerseys, that his thoughts stretched out over two Tweets. (140 characters can't hold him!):
1. A man who has selfanointed himself as a king is bashing others for saying things they can't do? Thank goodness Charlemagne has been dead for 1,200 years, because if that dude was alive today and had a Twitter account, he'd probably have a few choice words for "King James." And isn't this the same LeBron who said the Heat were going to win seven titles? Get back to us in 2017 and see how that's working out for you, champ.
Other popular stories in the Yahoo! network:
⢠Actor Wesley Snipes heads to prison
⢠The 15 bestdressed athletes
⢠Watch: Seventhgrader's amazing dunk
[Rewind: LeBron relentlessly booed in return to Cleveland]
3. Dilfer's comments on Manning weren't that offbase. Lord knows LeBron can't take criticism very well, but that doesn't mean it's not welldeserved sometimes. Peyton is playing bad football at the moment. Much of that has to do with injuries and a bad defense,Cheap Eagles Jerseys, but if Peyton gets the credit when the Colts win, he deserves the blame when the team loses. (And unlike LeBron, I'm sure Peyton is selfaware enough to realize when he's playing poorly.)
2. Of all the people on ESPN's football coverage to bash, LeBron picked Trent Dilfer? I'm not going to say I'm a huge Dilfer fan, but he's easily one of the least offensive people involved with the network's NFL coverage. Chris Berman, Cris Carter, Tedy Bruschi(notes), Matt Millen,Cheap St. Louis Rams Jerseys, Tom Jackson and Cris Carter (yeah, again) work there. Singling out Dilfer is like saying the Heat's early struggles have been because of Mario Chalmers.

Wes Welker is getting new hair
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 3:24 PM
[General]
I am looking forward to a growing friendship with Wes along with his new growing hair over the next several months. I wish him and the Patriots a fabulous season and look forward to a Super Bowl victory in New Orleans!

In case you were curious,Cheap Seahawks Jerseys, Welker has already been cleared by the good doctor to begin wearing a football helmet. That's good, because he's probably going to need one of those.
So go ahead. Scoff now. But with hair growth in as little as four months, how are you going to feel when NBC zooms in on Wes Welker in the Week 12 Sunday nighter against the Jets, and a cascade of flowing Fabio locks falls out of his helmet and down onto his shoulder pads, capturing the heart of every man and woman in America? Who's going to feel silly then?
Fantasy football advice from the Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Minute:
Getty ImagesIn 2010, the Patriots upgraded the turf at Gillette Stadium. This week, star wide receiver Wes Welker undergoes a similar procedure.
Welker's new artificial surface won't be FieldTurf, though I'm not sure if it'll be a higher or lowerquality result. It's a "hair restoration procedure,Cheap Falcons Jerseys," performed by Dr. Robert Leonard in Newton, Mass. The doctor himself blogged about the experience:
And maybe you'll question the newsworthiness of a Wes Welker hair transplant, but the Associated Press did not, and Deadspin did not question the newsworthiness of the AP finding the story to be newsworthy.
[Welker] could not have been more polite and gracious during his hair loss consultation with me. And, during his procedure,Miami Dolphins Jerseys, we had a great time together talking about his recent wedding, our families, and our travel experiences. What impressed me tremendously was how terrific he was with my staff. He took photos with them and signed items for them, which they greatly appreciated.
I've always believed in going bald gracefully. Hair loss happens. It's a natural process. But then again, I've also never convinced Anna Burns to marry me. You may want to side with Welker on this one.

I'm sure there's some kind of reasonable explanation for why Chad didn't pay for the clothes he bought two years ago. It's not like the man is averse to spending money.

Elwayâs last NFL act was all the difference in Manningâs d
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 3:23 PM
[General]
Elway understands playing through different kinds of pain. He persisted through a long blood feud with head coach Dan Reeves that very nearly had him traded to the Washington Redskins in the early 1990s. He played through three heartbreaking Super Bowl losses, and he played through the wildcard loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that ended Denver's 1996 season and had Elway on the verge of giving up. That the next year would initiate the two best seasons Elway could possibly have imagined seemed out of the question at the time.
[Dan Wetzel: Tim Tebow not good enough for John Elway, Broncos]
[Related: Alex Smith returns to 49ers after team flirts with Peyton Manning]
"Is he ahead of me yet? That is for you guys to decide," Elway said. "I know one thing, he has a hell of a lot more yards than I ever had [and] he has more touchdowns. The thing is, we are in the conversation. I would like to get to the place where he is the best of all time."
But the one thing that only the Broncos could bring to the table for Manning was the opportunity to work with John Elway, a man who enjoyed his most meaningful seasons when he was older than Manning is now. In 1997 and 1998, when he was 37 and 38 years old, Elway ended his Super Bowl victory drought by winning backtoback championships with great players around him. Elway's competitiveness, internal fire, and historic excellence put him on a level few in the NFL will ever truly understand.
Specifically, Elway's ability to relate to Manning's desire to do better than ever at the end of his career played a big part. "I think certainly John knows what it's like to play quarterback at the ages of 35 and 36 and so certainly that helps," Manning said. "There's no question that it's going to be a team process. Everybody has to do their role and I have to do my role. I accept great responsibility in being the best player I can be to help this team win, but I'm going to use the resources around me and I will need their help. I was telling John Elway and coach [John] Fox and all the other teammates I'm looking forward to getting to know and coach [Mike] McCoy and coach [Adam] Gase. It's going to be a team effort, that's the only way this thing is going to get done."
Peyton Manning considered many different aspects when it came time to decide which team would have his services through the end of his estimable career. Personal and professional alignment with the front office and coaching staff, the ability to win now, the level of control he'd have over the offense, and yes, money many things went into Manning's final decision. All three teams at the finish line the Denver Broncos,Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys, San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans had these things in abundance.
"I told Peyton, 'Take your time. We are going to do the best that we can. We are going to be here and we hope it's us, but if not,Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys, we have a plan. Get comfortable with the decision and make sure you pick the right place for Peyton Manning.' Obviously we are selfish and wanted him to be a Denver Bronco but the bottom line is it was less selfish to want Peyton to pick the right place for him because of what he did for the NFL as a whole, not only as a football player but as a human being."
"The difference between retirement and what Peyton went through is that he was going to be able to go forward, but I understood where he was coming from in the fact that it had to shock his body. When you are planning on being in one place for your whole career, like I'm sure he wanted to be in Indianapolis his whole career because of what he created there and then the circumstances arose where that couldn't happen.
"One of the conversations when Peyton was here the first time on his first visit, we went to Cherry Hills and were sitting there talking about it," Elway said. "I could tell that anytime you go through as a quarterback, you go through one placeâI put myself in his shoes, if I was a Denver Bronco and after 14 years, I was no longer with the Broncos and I was going to go play somewhere else. I felt that a little bit when I retired, that all of a sudden you lose that separation.

"Certainly I have had a relationship with John and it goes back a long way, but I've seen John now in a different role," Manning said at the Tuesday press conference announcing his decision. "I've always seen him as a quarterback, never had to play against him, but that's always the role I saw him as. Now I've seen him as a leader of a franchise and I really like what he had to say. Everyone knows what kind of competitor he is as a player, and I can tell he is just as competitive in this new role. That got me excited."
The continuation of a beautiful friendship. (AP)
Certainly,San Diego Charger Jerseys, the esteem flowed both ways between the alltimers. Elway had nothing but praise when asked whether he thought Manning was ahead of him on the alltime list of NFL quarterbacks.
Therefore, he could look Manning square in the eye without a metaphorical stepladder, tell him what his remaining career could be through personal experience, and complete the sale with no hype and nothing but the truth.
Fortunately for John Elway the football executive, Peyton Manning was able to relate perfectly to John Elway the quarterback.
The competitiveness common to both men created an alignment no other team could match, but in the end, it was most likely Elway's ability to understand where Manning is in his career. Going into the 15th year of his career, Manning is trying to recover from a series of neck surgeries and nerve impingements that would have many bowing out for good.
Elway's gift for reconciling Manning the football player and Manning the human being may very well have been the tiebreaker. While Elway sees the greatest quarterback ever to play the game in Manning's past, present and future, he can also do the same by looking in the mirror.
Few if any in the NFL are more qualified to understand Manning's desperate need for a best last chance.

The Shutdown 50 #46 â Orson Charles, TE, Georgia
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 3:23 PM
[General]
More Shutdown 50:
#47: Lamar Miller, RB, Miami |Â #48: Shea McClellin,Cheap Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys, OLB/DE, Boise State |Â #49: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU | #50: Jonathan Massaqoui, OLB/DE, Troy
Charles was arrested in March for driving under the influence.
Orson Charles goes downfield against Coastal Carolina. (AP)
Charles has a sculpted physique reminiscent of San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, and he was a team captain and an offensive focal point in his final college season. As for the Florida  trophy, it was insured, and NFL teams have nothing to fear: the Lombardi is shatterproof.
NFL Comparison: Owen Daniels, Houston Texans.
Conclusion: Charles is a traditional West Coast Offense type of tight end, but his draft status may be hurt by the fact that a higher percentage of teams no longer covet that kind of player. Many are looking for a FinleyDavis type of deep threat from the slot, while a few teams like the Giants prefer 270pound, thumping blockers. Charles falls somewhere inbetween, and he fits best in a system like that the Houston Texans or the Carolina Panthers, where he can block inline and threaten the deep middle of the field. Charles is no 70catch threat, but he can be a versatile starter who delivers 4050 receptions and contributes to the ground game.
Pros: Charles is a real tight end. He is not a spreadoffense slot receiver who happens to be an inch taller and 20 pounds heavier than the other receivers. In Georgia's prostyle offense, he did tight end things, like lining up next to the right tackle and run blocking. He also motioned across the formation and lined up in the slot at times. His versatility and experience as a natural tight end will allow him to make a smooth transition to the NFL.
As a run blocker, Charles usually delivers a good pop, and he was often seen driving his defender back at the end of the play. Charles was sometimes used as a pass blocker, and he sets quickly and keeps his feet active in pass protection.
Charles releases from the line quickly and does not get tied up with linebackers when starting his routes: a major asset for a traditional tight end. He has enough speed to challenge the secondary on seam routes and was also effective on corner routes, bending away from safeties and catching passes along the sideline. He knows how to throttle down when running crossing routes and can find soft spots in zones. Charles has enough openfield running ability to turn upfield and generate yards after the catch, though he is not exceptionally powerful or nifty.
Charles has been a weightroom rat since his high school days and keeps himself in excellent condition. He received high marks for character throughout his Georgia career, despite some recent runins with the law.
Cons: Charles sometimes lunges when run blocking,Cheap Browns Jerseys, either missing his target or getting tossed aside because his center of mass gets too far forward. Some defensive ends can beat him with pure size, and Charles has difficulty sealing the edge against bigger defenders. It is not unusual to see him deliver a fine initial blow,Cheap Ravens Jerseys, then lose control of his defender.
We continue this year's series with Georgia tight end Orson Charles, whose college career got off to an inauspicious start. While touring University of Florida's trophy room during a recruiting visit, he bumped into Florida's 2006 National Championship Trophy while taking a picture of Tim Tebow's Hesiman trophy. A splitsecond later, the $35,000 crystal trophy was shattered. "The crystal ball looked like it was going to the ground in slow motion," said Robert Weiner, Charles' high school coach and an eyewitness. "It hit with a pretty good thud and exploded into a million pieces. It was a surreal scene."
Perhaps not surprisingly, Charles elected not to commit to Florida. At Georgia, he was reunited with Aaron Murray, his high school quarterback. Charles caught 94 passes for 1,370 yards and 13 touchdowns in three seasons before renouncing his senior season of eligibility. He was a firstteam AllAmerican and a finalist for the John Mackey Award.
With the 2011 NFL season in the books, it's time to turn our eyes to the predraft evaluation process. Right up to the 2012 NFL Draft, we'll be taking a closer look at the 50 prospects who may be the biggest NFL differencemakers when all is said and done.
Charles does not have elite hands, and he also had some "concentration drops" on short passes. While he has sound athleticism and receiving skills, he is not an elite athlete in the Vernon Davis/Jermichael Finley class. Opponents are not going to have to gameplan to stop him.

Something must be done about illegal hits, but what
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 3:22 PM
[General]
If the NFL wants to stop this stuff, it's time to understand the thoughts and feelings behind the culture of violence, and how they can be shaped to the best effect in what will always be a violent game.
Former NFL safety Matt Bowen, whose National Football Post columns are required reading, took it further Monday morning by saying that players who engage in hits like the ones James Harrison(notes) doled out to Josh Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi(notes) should be removed from the game immediately.
"You didn't get my attention when you fined me five grand, 10 grand, 15 grand,'' Harrison said during NBC's "Sunday Night Football" coverage. "You got my attention when I got suspended ... You have to suspend these guys. These guys are making millions of dollars. The NFL [has to say], 'We're going to really protect our players. We're going to suspend these guys,Cheap Bills Jerseys, not one game, but possibly two or more games.'"
It sends a bold message and also leaves that team a player short when we talk about the domino effect it has on special teams and the overall game day roster. And, the price for getting tossed on Sunday isn't cheap. A twoforone impact so to say. [...]
Current NFL executive vicepresident of operations Ray Anderson told the Associated Press on Monday that those suspensions could be forthcoming.
Former VP of officiating Mike Pereira weighed in on the subject in his most recent column for FOXSports.com:
Well, that's part of the problem the fact that when he was in the league, Pereira either did not feel compelled to raise the issue or was muted when he did so. Given the general tone of his NFL Network appearances over the years, when he routinely went easy on bad calls during the weekly "Official Review" segment, my guess is that Pereira didn't want the lack of enforcement to reflect badly on the refs that worked for him.
Perhaps the most worrisome aspect of the two James Harrison hits is that neither one was flagged by Walt Anderson's crew. So, what does it say if Harrison is ejected from the game, and suspended from further action,Baltimore Ravens Jerseys, and Anderson's crew is allowed to skate? The crewtocrew swings from low to high on just about any penalty you care to mention are radical enough to lead one to believe that Pereira should have done more when he was in a position of power. As he implies, it's a lot easier to be the tough guy on this stuff when it isn't part of your job. Anderson and his crew should be just as eligible for fines and suspensions as James Harrison or any other dirty player.
These acts are illegal in college and no doubt will be further studied by the NFL.
"Thereâs strong testimonial for looking readily at evaluating discipline, especially in the areas of egregious and elevated dangerous hits. [...] Going forward there are certain hits that occurred that will be more susceptible to suspension. [...]
"Nobody in the league likes to say that somebody took a cheap shot at somebody. But I'm not in the league,'' Pereira said. "And I think it was a cheap shot and I think he deserves to be hit and he needs to be hit hard.''
Do you think that Scott Green's crew should get off without a ding after this hit to Sam Bradford(notes) went unflagged?
The NFL will look at all of these plays to determine whether these or any other hits involving the head or neck area can be legislated out of the game. It has already looked at a runner leading with his helmet and a defender tackling a runner by leading with his helmet.
Harrison racked up more fines than any player in NFL history, so he knows of what he speaks. More on him in a minute.
On October 5, Pereira told the Cleveland PlainDealer that Bengals receiver Terrell Owens(notes) and quarterback Carson Palmer(notes) were right to criticize the hit by Cleveland Browns safety T.J. Ward(notes) on receiver Jordan Shipley(notes) as a cheap shot. His take on that play brought one issue into sharper focus.
"The fundamentally old way of wrapping up and tackling seems to have faded away. [...] A lot of the increase is from hits to blow guys up. That has become a more popular way of doing it. Yes,Cheap Charger Jerseys, we are concerned they are getting away from the fundamentals of tackling, and maybe it has been coached that way. We're going to have to look into talking to our coaches."
What I am talking about are the deliberate hits in the passing game where a safety or a corner sizes up a receiver and takes him down with the crown of his helmet. The results are frightening. Concussions are the most obvious factor here. [...] But we also need to talk about a player's neck and spine on both sides of the ball.
Former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots safety/enforcer Rodney Harrison(notes) (of all people) said that the current penalty system does no good at all.
The concussion issue has been an NFL hot button for a long time, but things appear to be coming to a head in a way that may force the league to implement stricter penalties against those players who notch up the violence in what is already an absurdly physical sport. Between the James Harrison hits, the Brandon Meriwether uptop on Todd Heap, and the evil (but legal) collision between Dunta Robinson and DeSean Jackson on Sunday, helmettohelmet hits will be a topic of conversation at the NFL headquarters and in most front offices this season.
What is the NFL to do about these hits? It's generally Roger Goodell's style to assemble blueribbon panels filled with men of high integrity, but in this case, I think it would be wise to go the other way. If you want to catch a thief, you employ those people who know how thieves think. Goodell should assemble a group led by Rodney Harrison to study the realities of legislating these types of hits out of the game.

Michael Vick 'I would love to get another dog in the future
Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 3:21 PM
[General]
,Cheap Oilers Jerseys
Michael Vick(notes) wants another dog. He told this to NBC News in an interview set to air Wednesday:
Against my better judgment and years of proof to the contrary, I believe Vick has changed. This interview doesn't alter that opinion, but it makes me wonder how much the quarterback is letting all the fawning over him these past three months go to his head. He thinks he deserves a dog. He thinks that serving jail time and being sorry means he should get one. It doesn't. Not yet, anyway. (Not that he'd be allowed to. Vick is under a court order not to own any pets. He doesn't know when, if ever, that will be lifted. "It's up to my judge at his discretion.")
The people who have never cared about his offfield transgressions won't care what Vick said. However, there are plenty of people who cautiously root for Vick, cheering him because of his athletic abilities but still feeling a little apprehensive about rooting on a man who systematically murdered animals and went to jail for it. Those folks were on the verge of coming around on him. If they ignored it enough and didn't have to be reminded of Vick's Bad Newz Kennels, they could cheer him on with a clear conscience. Out of sight, out of mind. Vick just brought it back in sight.
I don't think Vick would harm a dog if he got one. In time, it might make sense for him to own a dog. Then he can show people he's changed and pose with it on magazine covers and go on Oprah cradling it in his arms. There's a time for that. But it isn't now.
But his past is still his past, and much of the public hasn't forgotten about it. Vick's play this year has gone a long way to making the dogfighting a distant memory. His bringing it up changes all of that.

"I would love to get another dog in the future. I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process.
You were doing so well, Michael. The dogfighting memories were getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror and you've been becoming more renowned for your greatness rather than your brutality. Keep it that way. Leave the dogs to the folks who actually love them.
[Photos: Michael Vick's rise and fall and rise again]
[Rewind: Philadelphia newspaper's controversial Vick headline]
It's still all too fresh. Vick has thus far done a wonderful job of speaking out against dogfighting in a way that seems genuine. Without much media fanfare, he speaks to youth groups without a court order making him or cameras following him. You get the impression it's not being done for attention.
[Related: Despite success on field, Vick still faces massive debt]
Vick doesn't have "love and passion" for dogs. No matter what you think about him or the fairness of his jail sentence or how he was treated or how great he is on the field, what Vick did was disgusting. He didn't love animals, and if he showed any passion toward them, it was rage, not ardor.
"I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love and my passion for animals; I think it would be outstanding. If I ever have the opportunity again I will never take it for granted. I miss having a dog right now. I wish I could. My daughters miss having one, and that's the hardest thing: telling them that we can't have one because of my actions."
Too soon,Cheap Jaguars Jerseys, Michael. Too soon.

The Shutdown Corner Podcast: Greg Cosell on the 2012 ILB/DB class
Having covered the quarterbacks, running backs/wide receivers,Cheap Colts Jerseys, tight ends/offensive line, and the OLB/DE/DT stars in previous predraft podcasts, it's time to go back to the well with our good friend Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN's NFL Matchup. To finish things off from an evaluation standpoint, Greg takes an inside look at the inside linebackers and defensive backs ready to make an impact once their names are called over the next few days. But first, we discussed Greg's recent mock draft over at the mustread NFL Films blog it's caused quite a ruckus, because Mr. Cosell took an unconventional approach
The cornerback discussion started with South Carolina's Stephon GIlmore, who Greg had going third overall in his mock, and who we each like at the top cornerback in this class. From there, we cover all the obvious guys LSU's Morris Claiborne, North Alabama's Janoris Jenkins, and Alabama's Dre Kirkpatrick. We also circle back and deal with the inside linebackers, like Boston College's Luke Kuechly and Alabama's Dont'a Hightower. We finish with this year's safety class, and a few interesting sleepers at each position based on the tape Greg's watched. As always, we deviate into schematic discussions, highfalutin' conceptual stuff, and random references to various AC/DC songs.
As always with everything involving Greg Cosell,Cheap Rams Jerseys, this podcast is a mustlisten for those fans of advanced tape analysis.

"I didn't do my mock draft the way most people do I did it based on what I saw on tape, and [team] needs,Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys," Greg said. "The other important point is that I totally disregarded offfield stuff."

The Shutdown Corner Podcast: George Atallah
We have a few quotes from the podcast below, but if you'd rather jump right in and listen, just click the link below, or check for the new audio in our iTunes feed (and subscribe if you already haven't!) It's a good overall wraparound of where the NFL is right now from a business perspective.
On the importance of digital rights fees to the NFL's new TV deals: "They're huge, and we've discovered that it's not just important [now], but a revenue generator in the future. One of the pressure points during negotiations was that we're the only sports league that has group licensing rights for players. And that means things out there for fans like Madden â you can't play Madden unless EA Sports works a licensing deal with not just the league, but with the players' association. Or, more precisely, the forprofit arm of the players association, Players, Inc. Going forward,Cheap Oilers Jerseys, as you know, with the rise in social media and a lot of the online content that's available, it's really going to be an important part of revenue generation."
In this conversation, George runs through several subjects,Cheap Patriots Jerseys, including various misperceptions about the economics of the new collective bargaining agreement, and how the new Monday Night Football deal is the first step to an entirely new financial picture for the owners and players.
Our latest podcast takes us off the field for a few minutes and allows us to catch up with George Atallah, the Assistant Executive Director of External Affairs for the NFL Players Association (that's him on the left, next to Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday). Some may think that the NFLPA has been in a holding pattern since the end of the lockout, but nothing could be further from the truth â now that there's an assured 10 years of labor peace, there are numerous new challenges for the league and the players.
If you'd like to read along, you can find many of the misperceptions about the new CBA in this recent article. George and I used this piece not to pick on the author (who we both respect), but as a jumpingoff point to demystify certain aspects of the NFL's new economy.
The Shutdown Corner Podcast: George Atallah
"I can tell you where we stand [on forwarding college suspensions] ⌠our firm belief has always been that there isn't a precedent. There is no continuum, and college sports are college sports. We can argue about whether it's truly amateur athletics, or a big business, but that's not the issue ⌠our executive committee and our players don't necessarily agree with a lot of the rules and regulations in the NCAA."
On the future of the NFLPA, now that nobody has to play defense from a labor perspective: "Well, it changes our ability to serve our players, and not having to literally defend our existence. You go from a mindset of defensive our existence and our wellbeing and everything we've fought for, to advancing our agenda and working in sync with the league, and not against them. To improve the overall quality and profitability of our game."
On Terrelle Pryor, and extending college suspensions to the NFL: "We're a membership services organization, and we have certain things that we do to protect our members. If our members feel that they have been aggrieved or done wrong,Cheap San Diego Charger Jerseys, we have an obligation to protect them ⌠In Terrelle Pryor's case, he made a decision along with his representatives that he wasn't going to fight his suspension. And now, we're in a situation where he changed his mind.
