So White is still a guy with tremendous ability, it’s just that he has been hurt. But lets be honest here, most guys who still haven’t broken out by their third year in the league either aren’t very good or they have also been slowed by injury as White has been. I don’t buy into […] Read More →

The Jaguars tried a fake punt in a preseason game and it actually worked
Saturday, September 23rd, 2017:The Jaguars are pulling out all of the stops in this Week 3 preseason matchup with the Panthers. Jacksonville attempted a fake punt, and it actually worked.

Wednesday, September 13th, 2017:The last time Tolzien played in the regular season was last Thanksgiving, getting the fill-in start while Luck had a concussion.

The Colts will surely hope that Tolzien doesn’t have to start more […] Read More →
Mitchell and Hayward play two different positions and had two completely different roles in college.
Sunday, September 10th, 2017:Hayward would still have to agree to this idea for it to work. Still, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t. In a way, this could be his parting gift to Utah, a fanbase that took his departure hard after he announced it (for real) on Tuesday. It’s a win-win-win scenario, in all likelihood. If […] Read More →
