    Ravens Sign WR Drew Bennett After Tryout.

    The Answer? Drew Bennett is a reliable receiver if you believe that: * a career average of 52% (Mason - 64%) of targeted passes caught is reliable, * a career average of 43.3 yards per game is reliable production, and * catching a total 80 passes in the last three years is somehow...

    Thread for news about my Lions

    Repost from CBSSports.com When the Lions step out onto the field this year they will bear little resemblance to last years team. I agree 5-7 wins; 4 for sure. They could possibly go better than 3-3 in their division. Last year they were blown out in their first games with the Bears and...

    Chris Johnson

    He could be a good pick up as a backup for the Texans behind Slaton and Chris Brown. He is from Houston and played for Texas. Hopefully his experience in Denver has taught him to keep his mouth shut.

    Rate my team~! just drafted

    Good overall, hopefully Schaub stays healthy behind an improved o-line, Edwards is a potential sleeper this year, NYG may need to make a move to get Manning help at WR if no one steps up. Texans and Giants both have a bye in week 10 when Buffalo plays the Titans on the road. Turner...

    WR Camp?

    Another guy that was there, but not listed was Vikings Jaymar Johnson who was on their practice squad last year. Here's what Chris Carter had to say about him. Jaymar Johnson Catches Cris Carter'sEye - Daily Norseman

    Reggie Wayne Vs. Steve Smith(Car)

    Steve Smith without a doubt. Plays much bigger than his size. Reggie does catch a higher percentage of passes thrown his way but Smith does more with them. Here's a new stat for you - CAYACs - Career average yards after the catch: Smith - 6.3 Wayne - 3.8 That's 2.5 more yards on every catch...

    Chris Johnson

    Call me old school, but if I'm in Crazy Chris' shoes I would want to be like Walter Payton or Barry Sanders. Those guys brought their game every time they suited up and left it all on the field. That is what being a professional is all about. Just flip the ball to the ref. My favorite...

    Close Call #17: Ryan Grant vs Kevin Smith

    Smith gets my vote. His stats were impressive for a rookie RB behind the worst line in the NFL. Fewer turnovers than Grant too. I think Pettigrew will give him a boost too.

    Man vs. Magazine: WR's

    I think Wayne's number will be slightly better than what you project with his touchdowns barely making double digits but at # 11 you are right on. Although Walter's receptions and 1st downs took a slight dip last year everything else went up. He had a tremendous (80%+) increase in YACs. If he...

    Graham Harrell headed to CFL

    The knock on a lot of guys is that they can't read their progressions and Harrell can do that plus he's smart. My guess is that he would work all off-season at correcting his shortcomings, but it still wouldn't be game time. So, maybe you're right. I don't see him being able to play WR like Brad...

    Graham Harrell headed to CFL

    Graham Harrell isn't your typical spread quarterback and will do better than some guys that were drafted. He would still have been a project but Could easily run a West Coast offense in the NFL.

    Close Call #16: Chris Cooley Vs Owen Daniels

    Close call is right. I'm going with Cooley, he is very consistent although his touchdowns were way down last year. I think he'll bounce back. Wouldn't bother me to take Daniels if Cooley was already drafted.

    NFL, Supreme Court could ruin Sports

    Considering the implications of a NFL victory in this case I don't think they are being overly dramatic. Mike, will they reconsider before it is too late?

    Close Call #7: DeSean Jackson vs Anthony Gonzalez

    Hey Sarge, Buckhalter's 12.1 AYACs (average yards after the catch) is outstanding too. I use this stat to evaluate wide receivers and this was the top 3 for receivers with 69+ catches: Wes Welker 6.8 Anquan Boldin 6.7 Calvin*Johnson 6.6

    Close Call #7: DeSean Jackson vs Anthony Gonzalez

    Eagles lost Correll Buckhalter in FA. So what you say,he only had 26 catches. He caught 81.25% of passes thrown to him and averaged a team high 12.1 yards after the catch. Even with his injury history I think this is one mistake the Eagles have made in the off-season. The Colts cut Harrison...
