This sort of shallow analysis really gets on my nerves. Charles only carried half the load for KC last year and had a total of 12 carries this year before he hurt his knee. Charles didn't hurt his knee due to a heavy workload, he hurt it because he was trying to get the extra yard and he...

Here's a complete list of all 2nd round WR picks from 1999-2008: 2008 Donie Avery Devin Thomas Jordy Nelson James Hardy Eddie Royal Jerome Simpson DeSean Jackson Malcolm Kelly Limas Sweed Dexter Jackson 2007 Sidney Rice Dwayne Jarrett Steve Smith 2006 Chad Jackson Sinorice Moss...

The one thing Westbrook has going for him is that the NFL has placed such an emphasis on preventing concussions, so he faces less of a likelihood of getting a hit to the head. The two concussions he suffered in a 3 week span make him prone to future concussions, if he suffers one this year he's...

He was back on the field on third and 1. Looks like he's fine.

From Aaron Schatz this week:"Aaron Schatz: Early report from Foxboro: Patriots seem to be double-covering Moss on pretty much every play, with Brandon Meriweather playing out of the box and shading towards Randy Moss. They better be double-covering him, or else they are manning Kyle Arrington up...

HGH is one potential reasons, but I'd argue that they're getting better at diagnosing concussions now. It used to be that a player would only be considered concussed if they got knocked unconscious, now we know that a player who has had their bell rung or been hit the right way can have a...

I've got to agree with this sentiment. I recently went through a "concussion training" course in order to do some high school coaching, and one part of the course that showed video of an NFL quarterback getting pummeled in a game he played. He said that his eyes were open and he was on his...

Although you gloss over the last two seasons, I think most of us remember that in those last two seasons the Lions did pound the goal line, but they brought in Tommie Vardell to do it. In Barry Sanders' last two seasons Vardell had 12 touchdown, as I recall he was used almost strictly in short...

The Bears offense (minus Payton) was pretty bad the first nine years of his career. When the opposing D lined up against the Bears they knew that all they needed to do was stop Payton and the game would be in the bag. On the other hand the Lions had a solid passing attack for many of the years...

The Plain Dealer said Lewis was limited today: http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/...well_jacks.html "Four other Browns are questionable and were limited today: safety Mike Adams (groin), guard Rex Hadnot (knee), running back Jamal Lewis (hamstring) and guard Floyd Womack (ankle)."...

I just saw about 10 seconds worth of pregame footage in Pittsburgh, the weather looks NASTY there. Pretty heavy snow, wind looks like it could be factor. I hvaen't yet decided whether I'm going to pull Rivers for Campbell, is there anybody who lives in the area who can tell us how bad the...

I know I'll probably get skewered for saying this, but Ryan Grant's game is on the upswing, and after tough games the next two weeks his schedule looks pretty good. I imagine most owners will probably be willing to let him go cheap and he could really come in handy (esp Week 14 vs. Houston)...

The Rams have a relatively soft schedule in terms of the passing defenses they face the rest of the season, so if someone's looking to win this year and is in need of a WR, he could have some trade value.

I want to know why the Seahawks haven't picked up the phone I dialed Taco Wallace's number. He knows the offense, and his name is Taco. What else do they need?

J. Fargas down with a groin injury, I'd bet he's out for the game.
