2010 NFL Mock Draft: Clausen First, Al Davis Does It Again.
bleacherreport.com via @BR_NFL &bull YesterdayMarc Bulger is not and never has been the answer at QB. After seeing the success of rookie QBs in recent years the Rams will have to take one with the first pick. Clausen makes the most sense here because of his experience in a pro-style offense at Notre Dame. Historically QBs who played in a pro-style offense in college have had better success than those who did not. Last year the Lions took QB Matt Stafford with the first pick of the draft. Their offensive line is not bad with the exception of the left tackle spot which is… Full Story »

Raiders have warped view of value of their players
Thoughts from the Dark Side &bull Mar 9, 2010
It has always been difficult to gauge was the Raiders will do from day to day and Al Davis has always been known for a few head scratchers. But this off season one would think that with the uncapped season, Davis would be the one NFL mind that would be in his element. Afterall, the way the free agent market is right now is almost exactly the format it was back when Al was still considered a genius; back when the Raiders ruled the NFL; back when almost every acquisition and trade they made turned out to be the right… Full Story »

Shake Me - How Turnovers and Penalties Shook the 2009 Denver Broncos
Mile High Report &bull Mar 3, 2010
Shake it, don't break it, baby. Penalties and turnovers hurt, like a kick to the groin. In fact, you hear about penalties and turnovers so often in post-game press conferences, you would think that play calling had little do do with the results of the game. And often this is the case. The team that does the best job executing its own individual game plan is usually the winner. Penalties and Turnovers are simply markers along the way. But when you chart every offensive play in a given season, you tend to only focus on… Full Story »
