Outspoken Ryan livens up the NFL

Rex Ryan needs a nickname. Something with a WWE ring to it.

It can't be Son of Associate or Buddy's Boy, because associate is a pal chat and Ryan is no one's pal. Maybe Rex Dog. Or T-Rex. How about Rex-osaurus, or the Human Train Rex?

Pick one, and do it afore today's smackdown amid the Jets and the Patriots. Rope off the sidelines, lay down a canvas and about-face on the smoke machine. This AFC East altercation has all the adequacy of a turnbuckled animate cage bout if there's anytime been one.

"I never came actuality to kiss Bill Belichick's rings," Ryan said if the Jets assassin him in February.

You got that, Mr. Hoodie? Yeah, he's talking to you.

"I accept a lot of account for Bill Belichick," Ryan said, "But I'm not his acquaintance on Sunday."(Cheap NFL jerseys)

This is abundant for the NFL. Too abounding coaches are dried say-nothings who would acclaim an opposing convenance band amateur if it meant befitting the account lath clear.

San Francisco is Good to Seattle

While Seattle is on the alley on Sunday, they are alone traveling to San Francisco, which happens to be the abutting geographic alley bold and a abode that they've gone 5-2 back they abutting the NFC West in 2002.

Also, to whom should the Seahawks forward their acknowledgment for the agenda this year in agreement of travel? They play the NFC North and the AFC South this year, but amazingly they do not accept to biking to the East Coast at all this year. We apperceive what happens to this aggregation if it crosses three time zones. This year, while the aggregation does accept to biking to far off places, but that's because Seattle is not abutting to any aggregation in the NFL, it does account from in fact accepting to host those teams on their agenda who appear to be extreme from Seattle. Teams like Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee are all at home. This is a acceptable thing. So I accept that agency that any accident can be attributed to the absolute play on the acreage as against to some awe-inspiring centralized time clock/travel issues, thankfully.

In accession to San Francisco getting about 800 afar away, they've got a aggregation that some prognosticators who anticipate that they in fact accept a above aggregation to Seattle. That may or may not be accurate I accept it depends on whether or not Frank Gore will abide to boilerplate 1.4 yards per backpack I'm not abiding how Shaun Hill's assembly should bang abhorrence into Seattle either. I'm not adage that Seattle shouldn't abhorrence him because I accumulate mistaking him for Shaun King (the above Tulane Green Waver and Tampa Bay Buc') or that he's not a "name" player. Just because hardly anyone knows his name does not accomplish him bad (and conversely, just because someone's name is apparent doesn't accomplish him good?see Jay Cutler endure anniversary for instance). Shaun Hill has accustomed Seattle no acumen to abhorrence him, abnormally if their active bold is as abhorrent as it was endure week. I see Seattle traveling down there and winning, and accomplishing so rather easily. I'm not affairs the 49ers.(San Francisco 49ers football jerseys)

Since we're on the affair of the 49ers, I anticipation that this would be a acceptable time to allocution about Mike Singletary. He was, unquestionably, one of the best average linebackers to play the game. I admired watching him play as a kid. But actuality is one brainless affair that humans adjudge to focus on if anecdotic how acceptable he was: his eyes. If a Mike Singletary highlight is on, a analyst will assuredly animadversion on Singletary's "intensity" and "focus" and point to his eyes as evidence. For those who accept no abstraction what I'm talking about, Singletary acclimated to accessible his eyes absolutely advanced if a play was advance and affectionate of fabricated a appealing funny face while accomplishing so.

Broncos’ defense turns heads

Although he has actual little acquaintance in the NFL, Brady Quinn has a altered angle on the Denver Broncos.

On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback will accomplish just the fifth alpha of his career, but it’ll be his additional adjoin the Broncos. He’s the aboriginal quarterback in the alliance to face Denver’s new-look aegis afterwards accepting able for the old arrangement a year ago.

“Two absolutely altered teams,” Quinn said of the 2008 Broncos and the 2009 version. “Schematically, you can see it’s absolutely different.”

Quinn, a first-round abstract aces from Notre Dame in 2007, fabricated his aboriginal NFL alpha on Nov. 6, 2008, adjoin the Broncos. Denver won the game, 34-30, but Quinn had an absorbing night, commutual 23 of 35 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns.

Quinn wasn’t sacked by the Broncos a year ago, which wasn’t a surprise, because the Broncos had just 26 sacks all division — and just six in the additional bisected of the year.

The endure time Quinn and the Browns faced the Broncos, Denver was active a 4-3 aegis and had one of the league’s affliction arresting units. Since then, the Broncos accept switched to a 3-4 defense, and beneath new coordinator Mike Nolan, they’ve been abundant added advancing than in the past.

Last week, the Broncos sacked Cincinnati’s Carson Palmer three times. They registered 10 sacks during the preseason.

Quinn, who was sacked 5 times endure anniversary by Minnesota, has taken apprehension of the Broncos’ advancing nature.

“Without a doubt,” he said. “That’s one of the things you notice: them putting players in positions to play the appearance of football they’re acclimated to.”

Defensively, the Broncos are benumbed a beachcomber of momentum. They gave up at atomic 30 credibility nine times a year ago, including 112 credibility in the final three games. Afterwards shutting out Arizona in the preseason finale, the Broncos gave up just a last-minute touchdown adjoin the Bengals endure Sunday.

My NFL crystal ball

Predicting what's traveling to appear in the National Football League is an acutely abortive exercise.

Who had the Miami Dolphins acceptable 10 added amateur endure year than they did in 2007? Who had the Falcons in the playoffs? And who had Arizona in the Super Bowl at any time endure season?

Not you. Not anybody.

So if there's one affair we can adumbrate about the 2009 NFL season, it's that it will be unpredictable. But that's one of the things that makes the NFL so great. You never apperceive what to apprehend from bold to game. Actually, you absolutely don't apperceive what's traveling to appear from division to quarter, apparent by the Titans outplaying the Steelers for abundant of Thursday night's season-opener, yet declining to cull out a victory.

Everywhere I look, humans are authoritative predictions about what's traveling to appear this NFL season, so I ability as able-bodied accompany the party. But these thoughts are from guaranteed. In fact, they appear with a minus-25 percent agreement that any of this being will in fact happen.

 

Third-and-long day against the Giants

The New York Giants set the accent with their additional third-down bearings adjoin the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

On their aperture drive, the Giants adapted a third-and-3. Now they faced third-and-7 at their own 39-yard line.

The Redskins rushed four, and Eli Manning completed a canyon to Mario Manningham for a 25-yard gain.

It was the additional of six third-down conversions by the Giants in their 23-17 win over the Redskins. Washington's aegis - which led the NFL in three-and-outs endure year - got off the acreage just already in three or beneath plays in this year's opener.

The futility on third down was a primary affair of altercation Monday at Redskin Park because the Giants had three drives of at atomic 10 plays and captivated a about 13-minute bend in time of possession.

"We knew advancing in that we had to do that in adjustment to win this game," Hall said. "In the aboriginal half, they were 5-for-8. At halftime, we knew we had to stop them and accord our breach a chance, and we didn't do that."

Defensive coordinator Greg Blache had fatigued to the aegis as aboriginal as Wednesday the bold would be absitively by third-down execution. And for the a lot of part, he was right.

For the Redskins, it was a three-pronged breakdown on third down.

The canyon blitz got to Manning alone already in 29 drop-backs.

Cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and Fred Smoot gave too abundant cushion, generally lining up above the first-down marker.
