There is no question that the NFL has shifted to more of a spread offense, in which the passing game and quarterbacks throw the ball all over the field. Gone are the days of tough hard-nosed football in the trenches.
Sure, we still do have that. But you can’t deny that the offensive schemes have gravitated towards the shotgun, five-wide, wildcat formations etc.. Continue reading
In an era when the NFL looks to be shifting towards a spread offense passing game, don’t underestimate the importance that a running back can have on a game, and on a season.

So who are the best running backs in 2012? Here’s our top-five. Continue reading
Coming into the 2012 NFL season, the NFC North division is arguably the best in the entire league. With three teams, Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit, all expected to make a push for the playoffs and perhaps a berth in the Super Bowl, things are looking good.
The Packers are actually the 2013 Super Bowl favorites, trying to win a second championship in three seasons. Continue reading
We all weren’t quite sure what to expect from Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers during the 2011 No.1 draft pick’s first season in the NFL. He had dominated college football, leading Auburn to a national championship and picking up the Heisman Trophy along the way.
But as we know, that doesn’t always translate to success in the NFL. Continue reading

But which of these 10 players will have the biggest impact on their team in 2012? Continue reading
The AFC East is always a hot topic of conversation when it comes to preseason talks. And entering the 2012 season, it’s no different. The Patriots are right near the top of the list of Super Bowl favorites, the Jets acquired Tim Tebow for some reason, and the Miami Dolphins are the subject of the HBO series ‘Hardknocks’ Continue reading
There is no question that there were pieces in place for the Denver Broncos to be successful even before Peyton Manning declared that he was going to be their new quarterback. You can simply refer back to last season, with the Broncos winning the the division, albeit a relatively weak AFC West. Then the team went on to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wildcard round, before dropping to the Patriots in the divisional round. Continue reading
Coming into the 2012 NFL season, there is one team that has endured more than the rest. That would be the New Orleans Saints, and the bounty scandal that rocked the league. The end result is that the Saints will be without their head coach for the entire season, a suspension that was unprecedented. Continue reading
There might not be a more competitive or better division in the NFL than the NFC North coming into the 2012 NFL Season. At least on paper. The Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Chicago Bears are all expected not only to be playoff contenders, but potential Super Bowl teams.
We are in the midst of the first week of the 2012 NFL Preseason, with things getting underway on Thursday night. The Hall of Fame game already took place between New Orleans and Arizona, but that’s all the preseason action so far.
There will be some nationally televised games on Thursday through the weekend, and that will be capped off by the Monday Night Football matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders. Continue reading
