NFL rookies will be behind the power curve this year |
E-Cred: 374
Published on March 25, 2011 at 02:23:34 PM
LINK TO ORIGINAL DISCUSSION THREAD IN THE QUAD: Click HereWithout playbooks, rookies will suffer in lockoutFour reasons why playbooks lead to development Matt Bowen | National Football Post 3/24/11 ...No contracts, no bonus checks, no official contact with their new coaching staff after the draft and, as commissioner Roger Goodell pointed out this week, no playbooks.
A rookie without a playbook? That’s bad news no matter how we try to spin it. Let’s look at four reasons why rookies can be expected to fall even farther behind if the lockout extends past the draft and into the summer. ...
1. Lining up to play: Sounds too simple, right? It may be for veteran players, but for rookies you have to start somewhere... ... 2. Terminology: Something I really struggled with as a rookie in St. Louis. I remember opening up that playbook in my hotel room the night before my first mini-camp practice and being absolutely floored at the amount of “new” terminology I had to learn... ... 3. Audibles, checks: Important phases of any offense or defense. ...These checks and audibles are crucial. I had to re-teach myself these in Gregg Williams defense every offseason in Washington—and I knew the playbook.
... 4. The depth of the playbook: An NFL playbook is thick. A lot of pages to flip through before you burn yourself out trying to remember formations and coverage aspects. FULL STORYThat was CNS's main concern with underclassman leaving early. They are already behind the power curve in terms of experience and he stressed the importance of proving themselves throughout the camps and pre-season in hope of making an impression to make the team. Without the ability to have those opportunities to display their talent, their opportunities to make the team are only that much more difficult.

Alabama Football Wants To Become A Pass Rushing Monster |
E-Cred: 6111
Published on March 25, 2011 at 12:34:10 PM
TUSCALOOSA -- A ferocious pass rush formed in Alabama's final four games last season. Marcell Dareus looked like a grizzly bear prancing around the Bryant-Denny Stadium grass, chasing, catching and devouring former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton at one point like a fish. Courtney Upshaw ratcheted up his statistics as he terrorized backfields before exploding in a 49-7 Capital One Bowl win as Alabama knocked out two Michigan State quarterbacks. Upshaw finished with 15 tackles in his final two games, including 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and a quarterback hurry. That would fit Nick Saban's definition of "affecting the quarterback." "We went into that game just wanting to get that bad taste out of our mouths," Upshaw said. "We were real confident. I know coming into this season, as a defensive whole, I know as a team that we're just ready step up our game and get back to the top." In Alabama's first nine games of 2010, it amassed just 11 sacks, 43 tackles for loss and 21 quarterback hurries. In the final four games: 16 sacks, 32 tackles for loss and 31 quarterback hurries.

ESPN:Tide's Richardson Takes Center Stage |
E-Cred: 6111
Published on March 25, 2011 at 11:03:32 AM
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama senior center William Vlachos isn’t sure the Crimson Tide ever figured out what they wanted to be offensively last season. “I think last year we didn’t quite form an identity at all or the way we wanted to form it as a power-running team,” Vlachos said. “That’s what we are and what we will be. It’s on our shoulders in the offensive line to take the reins and establish that identity.” And along those same lines, Vlachos said there won’t be a lot of guesswork on whom the Crimson Tide’s go-to guy will be next season. It’s Trent Richardson's show now. “He needs to take the bull by the horns,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “He was in a tough situation, playing behind Mark [Ingram]. The first year, he probably didn’t realize it. Last year, maybe he didn’t handle it as well, but he doesn’t have that circumstance anymore. “He’s the man.” Click here for link

Ohio State football: Tressel's emails were forwarded |
E-Cred: 374
Published on March 25, 2011 at 10:55:03 AM
Ohio State football: Tressel's emails were forwardedInformation sent to Pryor's mentor in his hometown Friday, March 25, 2011 03:08 AM By Mike Wagner and Tim May THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH When Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel learned last spring that some of his current players were in trouble, he shared the information with someone he thought could help his star quarterback even though he said he didn't tell his bosses.
Tressel forwarded the information to Ted Sarniak, a mentor to Terrelle Pryor, after the coach received emails warning that Pryor and at least one other player had sold memorabilia to a local tattoo-parlor owner who was under federal investigation for drug trafficking, multiple sources have confirmed to The Dispatch.
...
During a news conference on March 8 to announce NCAA ethics violations by Tressel, the coach said he kept the information to himself to protect the confidentiality of the federal investigation and for the safety of his players.
But Tressel also nodded his head and said "um-hmm" when asked whether he had forwarded the emails to anyone.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith quickly intervened to prevent Tressel from answering that question about the matter currently under investigation by the NCAA.... FULL STORY HEREI found it interesting that this article would come out of Columbus without the appropriate spin. As the facts are revealed, I think we will see the noose begin to tighten around CJT's neck. The NCAA can see through the actions of CJT and tOSU, as can most of the country. How they respond will send a strong message to all that like recent sanctions with USCw and Michigan, the protected few may no longer be completely immune to the wrath of the NCAA. I believe there is a lot of frustration the NCAA is feeling at the moment having not been able to find that missing piece of proof to actually prevent the illegitimate championship of the Barn and numerous other scandals. Unfortunately for tOSU, I feel they may soon feel the full weight of that frustration. I had originally thought CJT would be retained at tOSU but as he is found to have continued his lies throughout the process to include his omission of having forwarded the email, I think they will be left with no choice but to part ways with Tressel to show their want to set an environment of compliance and integrity.

ESPN: No easing off the pedal for Alabama in 2011 |
E-Cred: 6111
Published on March 25, 2011 at 10:02:29 AM
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It’s probably not a huge revelation that the Auburn loss last season gnawed unmercifully at Nick Saban. Any loss in the Iron Bowl tends to have that effect, and when it’s at home against the No. 1-ranked team in the country, seeing it slip away is all the more nauseating. But what ate and still eats at Saban is the way his Alabama team lost that game. In many ways, it was a microcosm of the Crimson Tide’s entire season. “You keep going back to the way we lost the game,” said Saban, who saw his team race out to a 24-0 lead, only to squander repeated chances to tack on more points in the first half. “We left points out there by errors that we made. And then to not be able to control the game in the second half was just as disappointing. You put the 24-0 score up there and then put the final score up, 28-27, and you say, ‘Are we ever going to let this happen again in terms of our psychological disposition to compete for 60 minutes?” You don’t have to look hard to find reminders of that game, not to mention Alabama’s other two losses, in and around the Crimson Tide’s football complex. There are signs hanging up in the weight room, the locker room and several other areas that read simply, "Never forget. 28-27." Click here for link

Alabama Will Work In Pads For The First Time This Spring Today |
E-Cred: 6111
Published on March 25, 2011 at 09:54:19 AM
Alabama’s spring drills take a noticeably more serious step today when the Crimson Tide puts on full pads for the first time. The first two practices are required as non-contact days. Nose tackle Josh Chapman says he’s looking forward to the change. “Having just jerseys on, you can’t really do much,” the senior from Hoover said. “When you start getting pads on and get to poppin’, that’s when the fun comes in.” Chapman said the pace picks up dramatically. He still recalls his first workout in pads when he was a freshman. “First time I put the pads on was with (now Houston Texans offensive lineman) Antoine Caldwell,” Chapman said. “I realized what’s the real deal when it comes to putting pads on in college football. Having just jerseys on, it’s light. But when they put pads on, they’re full tilt.” Click here for link

Tide's Hines in New York state of mind |

Published on March 25, 2011 at 07:57:08 AM
There's about 1,100 miles separating Evergreen and New York City. That was always too far of a hike for Chris Hines. Ohio was the farthest point north that Alabama's starting forward had ever traveled, but that changes soon. Rural Alabama is about to meet the big city. The Crimson Tide's quick-witted senior finally will make it to New York when Alabama travels the NIT semifinals early next week. More
