NFL 2013 NFL - Off-Season & Pre-Draft Discussion

[shiny_on_top]

Just for you, larkis, Peter King wrote an article for SI on the Rams' war room for the first round of the draft.

Thoroughly enjoyed that article. Although, what Peter King writes is generally high quality.

I used to really like MMQB and Gregg Easterbrook's TMQ, but they both have become more and more pompous, the two of them.

Most of MMQB is no longer about football.

I was never able to take it seriously again after I started reading KissingSuzyKolber's weekly analysis of it.

Pretty much the worst kept secret.. Brian Urlacher has officially retired folks.

From his twitter account:

It was an honor to play my entire career for the @ChicagoBearshttp://say.ly/GOh5Sxs

My favourite Urlacher moment was not surprisingly....

See ya in Canton Brian Urlacher... everyone's fav Bear.

I guess Brian Urlacher was who we thought he was.

Not the news I wanted to wake up to this morning

He's among our more irreplaceable players. Can't see him getting back before January at the absolute earliest, if at all this coming season. Huge, huge loss.

Makes the Boldin trade and the late round steal of Quinton Patton extremely smart decisions.

They also need to hope last years 1st round pick Jenkins pans out.

Still, this receiving core aint half bad

Davis (te)
Boldin
Manningham
Patton
Jenkins
Gore (rb)
James (rb/kr)
Mcdonald (te)


That should be enough to get by till he returns in late december which is my prediction

That's all true, but he was Kaep's favourite receiver for most of Kaep's games late in the season and in the playoffs, and he looked set to really break out in 2013 (his YAC numbers were huge). His absence will present a big challenge for Kaepernick as much as it will for the other receivers to step up.

Victor Cruz and Roddy White haven't taken too well to the jury acquitting George Zimmerman of the charge of murdering Trayvon Martin.

It'll be particularly interesting to see if the NFL has anything to say about their comments.
