What I’m trying to tell you is that all of those things actually helped me make the decision to select Aaron Lynch to be the 49ers’ breakout player this year. But let’s back up for a second so we can agree that Lynch is talented as hell and richly blessed when it comes to his […]   Read More →

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera didn’t hesitate on Sunday when asked where quarterback Cam Newton was in his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery a week before the opener at San Francisco. “I think he’s ready,” Rivera said. “You wish he’d had a few more snaps and played a little bit earlier in the preseason so […]   Read More →

The 2016 Panthers were crushed by injuries, yet still managed to come within a few missed field goals of being 8-8. The 2017 squad brings back a core that went 15-1 in 2015, with the additions of dynamic playmakers Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel. The defense should also be dominant once again with the return […]   Read More →

A lot of people have been talking out of their asses acting like its the easiest thing in the world to do. I don’t care how good Wade Phillips is at running a 3-4, you still need guys who fit that system to play in it. Aaron Donald is an undersized freak of nature who […]   Read More →

He has some good technique with his hands too, but where he really wins is with how he turns his hips toward the quarterback throughout his rush and his bend around the corner. A guy with that kind of ability, if he can stay healthy, is going to get playing time even if it’s mostly […]   Read More →

Newly acquired Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett is a guy I broke down when he was coming out of college. He wasn’t very big at 5’10 and 185 pounds, but he was explosive as hell. The thing that I noted in that breakdown was that his college coaches at Miami just didn’t seem to get […]   Read More →

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, after Orchard sustained a high ankle sprain that ultimately led to him missing most of 2016. If that wasn’t bad enough, then imagine watching the Browns take Emmanuel Ogbah with the first pick in the second round last year, then turn around this year and take Myles Garrett number one […]   Read More →

Miller crashed a ballet class last week with some of his teammates to become a little more graceful before football season, or so we can imagine. The kids looked stoked to have Von Miller there to practice alongside them, especially given his history on Dancing with the Stars. No word on whether his latest dancing […]   Read More →

In his first game as an NBA player, Lonzo Ball played against the LA Clippers. It was his first game since his UCLA Bruins lost to Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen in March. With almost four months between games, one would assume that there’d be a little rust, if not nerves for his first pro […]   Read More →

Part of the hypercriticism of Ball is fueled by the rookie’s predetermined image because of his father’s antics. Whatever your thoughts, it’s ridiculous how harshly he’s been roasted for having a bad summer league game as a rookie. Ball wasn’t drafted for his ability to score like Curry. He’s a unique point guard with a […]   Read More →
