Yahoo.com: Shutdown Corner (Doug Farrar) —
In 2011, per the game-charting of NFL.com's Brian McIntyre, the Seattle Seahawks put two tight ends on the field 39 percent of the time, one of the highest figures in the NFL. However, they didn't get much production from those tight ends. Former Oakland Raiders tight end Zach Miller, acquired as a free agent before the 2011 season, caught just 25 passes on 44 targets for 233 yards and no...

Mile High Report (Brian Shrout) —
There has been a lot of talk about how tough Denver's schedule will be this year. This is largely due to the way the NFL chooses which teams will play which each season. The NFL uses the following format for scheduling: 1 Each team will play the other teams in it's division twice (once at home, once away). So Denver will play Oakland, Kansas City and San Diego two times each for 6 of...

Field Gulls (EequalsMc2) —
Thankfully, he's not competing for the QB spot this year. In my personal opinion, the word "competition" is seemingly overrated. It's a label that seemingly everybody, from coaches to fans and even the media misuse. Competition is utilized to bring out the best effort and passionate emotions from players and have the best man win the job right? How often does that happen in this league? In...
The Falcoholic (James Rael) —

Pride of Detroit (Sean Yuille) —
Last month, after the 2012 NFL schedule was announced, point spreads were released for the games in Week 1. Now, thanks to the folks at Cantor Gaming , we have point spreads for the first 16 weeks of the 2012 season. Is this a bit premature? There's no doubt considering a lot will change by the time these games are actually played. Even so, it's interesting to see how the Detroit Lions ...
SBN: Turf Show Times (Joe Mazzi) —
The St. Louis Rams are surrounded by question marks at the linebacker position. Concerns aren't just for the players on the field, but also the coaches who will be overseeing their development. In both cases, experience could prove to be an issue. Nonetheless, it could also be a perfect marriage of eager, ambitious teachers and a group of young students who are only entering their prime. ...
The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle) —
Earlier this week, we took a look at the teams most likely to miss the 2012 NFL Playoffs despite making it in 2011. With a 50% turn-over rate in the NFL's playoffs every year, there will typically be three teams from each conference that join the playoffs, having not been there the year before. Today, we start trying to predict which teams will make it into the postseason tournament in the...
SBN: Turf Show Times (T.Ram) —
Tonight, the Rams acquired former Oklahoma TE Brody Eldridge , a day after the Colts released him. Eldridge was an 5th round pick by the Colts in 2010. Eldridge isn't a dynamic receiver, he's an old school blocking tight end. It's most likely a long shot for Eldridge to make the final 53, but he will have his chance. If Eldridge makes the final 53, he will most likely fill the role that...

SBN: Turf Show Times (Ryan Van Bibber) —
Cortland Finnegan is going to be a refreshing sight decked out in a St. Louis Rams uniform this season and for the years to come. In 2011, Finnegan was one of the best all-around corners in the NFL. He excelled in both pass coverage as well as run support, something the Rams will appreciate after their recent struggles against the run. The stats guys over at Pro Football Focus rolled out ...
Field Gulls (Kenneth Arthur) —
I think when you begin to count the ways that you like this team, you start with the young guys. Rebuilds do not happen overnight but just the fact that this team has found a few stars in the last two years alone is worth heaps of praise on Pete Carroll and John Schneider. They inherited a team that was coming off of a 5-11 season in 2009 and a 4-12 season in 2008, and immediately they...
