NFL Offseason 2010

LB Ernie Sims(notes), Florida State: Recently traded to the Eagles, Sims was yet another Matt Millen overdraft - he was taken ninth overall despite serious concussion issues in college. So far, he's been most noted in the NFL as a rangy but undisciplined player who tends to whiff mightily in space.

 

Took that from a recent article on the decade's draft busts.

eagles love quick linebackers. and for a 5th round pick, why not. he will compete for the starting job

 

 

and when you are on a team like detroit it is hard for players to keep focused and working hard. i dont care what player it is, on a bad team it is just natural to not care as much. once he gets to the eagles, who knows, maybe he continues how he was in detroit, or maybe he gets motivated that he is playing for a successful team and plays hard and up to his potential. its just hard to tell with guys who have been playing for bad teams

Report: Jets release Pro Bowl G Alan Faneca

 

The Jets have reportedly released LG Alan Faneca.

 

The headline here reads "Jets release Pro Bowl G Alan Faneca." A Pro Bowler Faneca was in 2009, but he sure didn't play like it. Second-round pick Vlad Ducasse now looks to be a lock to start at left guard. Faneca, 33, should draw some interest, but won't approach the $7.5 million he was due from the Jets.

Huge for McCoy. Great chance to learn under a good QB for a year or 2.

 

yea be like Aaron Rogers and look at him now he is that good and everyone thought he would be a bust so hopefully McCoy can be good but i hope not because the dude is in my division lol

Chris Johnson misses first Titans practice

Chris Johnson was not present Tuesday for the Titans' first practice of the offseason.

Johnson wants a new contract, but the Titans are handicapped by the uncapped year's "30 percent" rule. Though Johnson missed much of last year's offseason voluntary work while working out on his own, he never missed a practice. We still expect him to join the club for OTAs in May and June, but it's always big news when the No. 1 fantasy player skips out on mandatory work.

Norv estimates nearly 300 touches for Mathews

 

Chargers coach Norv Turner estimates that Ryan Mathews will have 250 carries and 40 catches this season.

It's rare that we get a coach to give a fantasy-type prediction, but there you have it. Turner noted that he won't have to lean on Mathews as much as he did LaDainian Tomlinson when LT was a rookie (Turner was Chargers offensive coordinator under Mike Riley that year), but we can be certain that Mathews is going to get all the early-down work. The Chargers will also run the ball on early downs more now that they have someone capable. If Mathews gets nearly 300 touches as Turner predicts, he won't have trouble finishing as a top-15 fantasy back in San Diego's high-scoring offense.

 

QUESTION: How many carries would you think Mathews would have as a rookie?

 

ANSWER: That is so hard to say, because there are games that come up like the Tennessee game and the Denver game (last season) where you run the ball 40 times. I’d like every game to be that way. Unfortunately, it’s not. But I would expect Ryan to have 250 carries and 40 catches, something like that. That’s obviously saying Darren is going to have the same role he’s had.
