Mel Kiper has put out a list of second year guys that he expects to breakout in 2012 ( In$ider ). As you might have guessed from the title of this post, Jake Locker is one of the players on his list. Here is what he had to say about Locker: Now, Locker needs to win the job outright. But look at the situation he could come into. Chris Johnson could be reinvigorated, the offensive line...

By now, you've probably heard rumblings about Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy and the rumors that he is being linked to the open athletic director position at Stanford University. At first, I was legitimately concerned. Stanford is a highly prestigious university, has excellent athletic programs and a great deal of money available to spend, and could indeed prove to be an...

Leshoure said he still hasn't cut at full speed since his injury, but he said there's "no doubt" he'll be ready for the season opener Sept. 9 against the St. Louis Rams.

In PART I of my look at some of the 'spread' offense type looks the Seahawks ran in 2011 - specifically their 4WR "01" and "10" personnel groupings - I outlined a couple of quick hitting plays on 3rd down in which Darrell Bevell drew up targets for Mike Williams on the outside. (Also check out PART I , PART II & PART III of my look at the "22" personnel grouping from 2011). In those...

Video of practice inside the bubble after the jump. Towards the end of practice, Brandyn Thompson collided into Mike Shanahan while covering Pierre Garcon. He was down on the ground for five minutes. Team spokesman said he'd be fine, but Shanahan was a bit woozy and skipped his media presser today. (Should Mike Shanahan sue Goodell if he's concussed??) DeAngelo Hall was the only...

The 2011 NFL season started at home for the Miami Dolphins , hosting the division rival New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. And the game would prove worthy of the time slot, with fireworks from both offenses, and two quarterbacks combining for a record 906 passing yards (a record that was broken in the final week of the season when Matt Stafford and Matt Flynn combined for...
NBCSports.com: ProFootballTalk (Michael David Smith) —
Coming off a 2-14 season, the St. Louis Rams headed into this offseason thinking they needed a lot of help at a lot of positions. By that score, the Rams believe they’ve taken the correct first steps in their rebuilding effort. Rams General Manager Les Snead told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that while getting high-quality…
Stamped Blue (Brad Wells) —
How desperate is Indianapolis for veteran players at the cornerback position? So desperate they recently worked out (arguably) the worst corner in football last year , Justin King . I note "arguably" because I've never seen King play. However, Pro Football Focus is pretty adamant that King is a terrible corner , and it seems the St. Louis Rams agree with them. The 25-year-old Penn State...

According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams are only allowed ten days of organized team practice activity, with a maximum of three per week for the first two weeks.

SBN: Big Blue View (Ed Valentine) —
Over the next few weeks I thought it would be interesting to take a look at 'Players Under Pressure' as the New York Giants prepare to defend their Super Bowl title in 2012. These might be players who find their roster spots in jeopardy. They might be players who underperformed in 2011. They might be players who are expected to step into larger roles in 2011, or players who face competition...
