Pats Pulpit (Marima) —
Jeff Howe reports Devin McCourty is preparing for both cornerback and safety positions. "There’s no one set position," McCourty said yesterday. "If I knew, I would tell you." Because Belichick consistently preaches versatility, McCourty said he never ruled out the possibility of switching positions, even after a successful rookie season. "Here? To tell you the truth, I...

Peyton Manning directs first Broncos practice at Denver OTA - The Denver Post Under the gaze of the legendary John Elway and upwards of 60 media members, Peyton Manning completed his first day of minicamp with the Denver Broncos without a hitch.

Pride of Detroit (Sean Yuille) —
At this point in the offseason, depth charts are far from being set in stone. Until training camp and preseason games happen, very few spots on the depth chart are truly locked up. August is really the time when things like position battles will start to be settled. For now, depth charts are merely an early indicator of where things stand for teams as OTAs get underway. One of the positions...
The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle) —
Over the past 10-days or so, the Phinsider Community has predicted the 2012 NFL Playoffs. We started by looking at the AFC and NFC playoff teams from last year. Then, using the average 50% turnover from year to year that seems to have become standard for the NFL postseason, we eliminated the six teams, three per conference, that made the tournament last year. After that, we took a poll of...

Optimists see half-empty glasses as half full. Eternal optimists see fully-empty glasses as an opportunity to fill the glass. And that’s the attitude that Saints defensive back Malcolm Jenkins brings to Brees-free OTAs in New Orleans. Barring a loaves-and-fleur-de-lis miracle, quarterback Drew Brees won’t be present for the launch of the practice portion of the…

Cincy Jungle (Ryan Harper) —
This offseason has been interesting, to say the least, for every team in the league. While the Bengals have been adding quality players for reasonable prices, along with a superb draft, one of their divisional foes has been facing an uphill battle all offseason. The Baltimore Ravens have had a rough go of it so far. First, they lost Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs to the New Orleans Saints ...
Yahoo.com: Shutdown Corner (Doug Farrar) —
If things like this keep happening, I'm going to start believing all the people who tell me that football is a violent game. When the Detroit Lions took the field for their OTAs on Monday, receiver Titus Young was conspicuous by his absence. Turned out that Young, the second-year player taken in the second round out of Boise State, had a "confrontation" with veteran safety Louis Delmas during...

The Monday morning news came straight from the mouth of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kellen Winslow when he told Ross Tucker of SIRIUS NFL Radio that his current team was looking to trade him -- and if that didn't work out, a release could be imminent. "It's kind of shocking, but that's what it is," Winslow said. "He referring to head coach Greg Schiano] said he was upset that I wasn't...

Field Yates reports former coaches of Patriots draft pick Alfonzo Dennard are willing to stake their reputations on his character , despite his arrest. " That isn't who he is, that's never been who he is , and that's not going to be who he is in the future," Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said.

Blots from the Blue (Richard Wade) —
2011's Best Performances: Safeties - Khaled Elsayed When Miami came to San Diego, one player really stood out in the game and that was Weddle. He broke up a pass, intercepted two (though one was called back due to a penalty), and even got a hit on the QB. Throw in a tackle that brought on the Dolphins ’ kicking unit and you’ve got a very nice outing. 2011's Best Performance's:...

Cleveland Browns: "Should Browns add Donovan McNabb?" (AFC North Blog) - "ESPN's Chris Sprow provides three reasons why the Cleveland Browns should consider signing quarterback Donovan McNabb. Here's my rebuttal: No, no, no." "The Browns' awkward QB competition gets underway Tuesday when Colt McCoy finally (possibly) faces the music" (ESPN Cleveland) - "Let the (ahem) competition...
Buc 'Em (Sander) —
Stare into the face of dominance, his name is Carl Nicks . Over the past few weeks, I've watched a lot of New Orleans Saints games to watch the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers left guard. Carl Nicks signed with the Bucs on a five-year, $47.5 million contract. A hefty contract for a left guard, especially so given the money the Bucs have tied up in right guard Davin Joseph . But Nicks could...
