NFL Round Up
Posted by Chris Cwik in Fantasy, Football on September 14, 2009
Not A Good Day For Jay
The first week of the season isn’t even 100% over quite yet. However, the drama and craziness of the regular season has already taken it’s toll on a number of teams. Let’s recap, shall we?
NFL Season Preview: NFC North
AP may be the best player in football, but is his team best in the NFC North?
2008 was another weak season for the NFC North. The Vikings, led by Adrian “All Day” Peterson and the Williams brothers, Kevin and Pat, on defense, won the division at 10-6 with a less than impressive +46 point differential. The Bears finished in 2nd place at 9-7, found themselves some nice offensive weapons in Greg Olsen and Matt Forte, while their defense had one of their worst seasons in the Urlacher era (2000-current). The Packers found out that Aaron Rodgers is for real, and they can really put up some points, but their defense struggled immensely. Finally, the part of NFC North that will stick with 2008 was the Detroit Lions. They struggled in every aspect of the game, went 0-16 for the first time in NFL history and the only bright spot was the emergence of Calvin Johnson as an elite receiver.
Tommie The Half Tank Engine
I’ll admit that I have a bias, Tommie Harris has been my favorite Bears player since they drafted him in 2004 out of Oklahoma. I thought he was a complete steal at 14 and this was a guy who started every game at defensive tackle at Oklahoma his Freshman season. He was a complete head case for offenses the second he put on a Bears uniform, and, in my opinion, was the catalyst, not Brian Urlacher, for the Bears rise to the top of the defensive ranks in 2005 and 2006. I haven’t seen a lineman in the three-technique, blow up the line of scrimmage faster than Tommie did in his first three seasons.
| Chicago Bears Defense Since 2005 | ||
|---|---|---|
| With Tommie Harris | 2005-2006 Seasons | 2007-2008 Seasons |
| Games Played | 28 | 30 |
| Bears W-L | 21-7 | 15-15 |
| 300+ yard games allowed | 8 | 22 |
| 24+ points allowed | 2 | 13 |
| Turnover Ratio | +15 | +5 |
Eli Manning Contract Analysis Part 2
Is Eli Manning the worst highest paid player in NFL history?
I’m only going back to 2000 on this one, if you can find a worse player before 2000 that was the highest paid player in the NFL, then I will grant you a no-prize.
