NFL Blankets Offer More Than Warmth
The other day I was listening to my cousin Frances share some memories of her dad. Her dad, Algin, raised cattle and loved the springtime because that is when the new calves were born. He loved watching the new calves when they grew strong enough to rip, run and play. He could watch they play for hours and their antics always made him laugh until his side hurt. Even when it was more difficult for him to get around, when springtime came, he always asked if someone would take him outside to see the new calves.
One Christmas, Frances was watching one of the early home shopping shows on television. They were showcasing Officially Licensed NFL blankets made of a plush fabric, that was both soft and warm. Frances called in to order a couple of blankets for her dad’s Christmas gifts. She remembered how cold and damp it gets during the springtime in Mississippi when her dad liked to spend time outdoors watching the calves, and thought the blankets would be the perfect thing to keep her dad warm while watching football.
As she was telling me the story, I imagined how her dad would be sitting in his favorite chair and she would cover him up with one of those warm NFL blankets. I imagined him watching those baby calves play and coming inside to a warm blanket and maybe a cup of hot chocolate. I imagined that on cold winter nights, she had that extra NFL blanket on the foot of his bed.
As Frances told the story of how much her dad loved the NFL blankets she had bought for him long ago, her face lit up, and we both smiled as we remembered her dad. I did tear up thinking about how much this only daughter loved her dad and what wonderful memories she has of her dad using this thoughtful gift.
Who knew a blanket could do so much more than keep you warm? Blankets also represent the sentiment of taking care of the ones you love the most.
Just What Is Up With the Jacksonville Jaguars
It’s a sad fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars just haven’t had a lot of odds in their favor lately. They finished 2009 at 7-9 and odds are they aren’t going to be doing much better in 2010. Here are some of the predictions for Jacksonville in the 2010 season, which will probably mark the end of the current coach’s time there unless they see huge success this year.
David Garrard is still quarterback for the team this season. But will he stay? Probably not. He’s got one last shot and this is it. If he can’t get his game together, Luke McCown, the current backup, is going to get a chance to fill the seat. Now the Jaguars do have good rushing attacks in 2010, and lots of good offensive players who will hopefully be able to work with Garrard’s lack of skill. It’s not exactly a great or extraordinary offensive lineup, but if the odds are in favor of this team, they can get a few wins under their belt this year.
So how about defense? Some new players are joining the Jaguars defense this year. Derrick Harvey is going to have to get his game together and make some changes this season. If he doesn’t, the defense of the team is going to fail again. There are some improvements such as linebacker Kirk Morrison, who has lots of skill and experience under his belt and brings good strength to the team. Where they fail is in the safety and free safety spots, though their starting corners are looking a bit more promising.
So what will really happen to the Jaguars this year? In terms of AFC South, they aren’t going to win. They might finish with a few wins but they will still have more losses to beat them. They aren’t going to top the Colts or the Texans. It’s slimly possible that they’ll see a few wins, but unlikely – and more probably that Jack Del Rio and David Garrard are both going to be history after this season.
But who knows? Maybe they will surprise us. Still, betting wise, it isn’t a good idea to place too much strength on the Jaguars. They have not shown promising results in the last couple seasons and given their record of lousy coaching and quarterbacking, they’re just going to keep making the same mistakes.
Sorry guys, this isn’t a strong team. Place your bets elsewhere on teams with strong leadership and better players. When it comes down to it, this team has just not got the potential to get past its hurdles. There are some good players, but they’re held back by the team’s complete lack of leadership and a good quarterback. Sad to say, but some quarterbacks are just failures, and Garrard’s proven to be that way so far. There’s really no reason to think he’s going to push beyond that this year, but maybe next season when the laggards are gone the team will finally be able to reach some measure of success.
What Ails The Minnesota Vikings?
Three team member of the Vikings are absent from the training camp for the 2010 conference games and have not, as however attended, because of ailments.
Percy Harvin
Percy Harvin, presently wide receiver and kick returner for the Vikings left camp extra than a week ago to attend his grandmothers funeral and hasn’t returned. Harvin, who skipped his college eligibility for football and joined the first round of the 2009 NFL draft was hired by the Vikings in April 25, 2009.
He appears to be affected by chronic migraine headaches. From the time he signed up with the team, he has missed a total of five practices/symposiums, counting his present absence from fall camp, due to his ailment. He was also absent from the play-off between the Vikings and the Cincinnati Bengals on week 14 of the 2009 conference games where the Vikings won 30-10.
There is certainly no reason to doubt that Harvin is in fact telling the truth about his condition because of his past history. Nevertheless, the length of his absence is unprecedented, leading some pundits to suspect a mixture of truth and truth.
In last year’s regular season games, he played in 15 and started 8. He likewise played two off-season games and started 1. Despite his missing numerous hours of practice, the player appears to be as much as his role.
Sidney Rice
Sidney Rice, the team’s best pass catcher has also had to put off practice because of an defective hip (or to a defective contract, as some of his pals may be inclined to think). Just what precisely is wrong with Rice hasn’t been specified by either the team management or Rice himself. He is presently ‘physically unable to perform.’
Brett Favre
The volatile Brett Favre, accurate to character, is still split as no matter whether he will or won’t play this season. The notion of retirement has been in his mind for a lengthy time. This season, he has been diagnosed by his orthopedist as needing to undergo surgery in his ankle. Apparently, it can be that or retiring from football altogether. Whichever way his choice on the matter goes, it greater get there quick so that his team can make early adjustments within the event they lose him from the lineup.
The Vikings also have two second-round NFL draftees on their team this year.
Toby Gerhart
Former Stanford running back Toby Gerhart is now with the Vikings in the same position. He is at present listed third in the depth chart behind Adrian Peterson and Albert Young. Regardless of having been a prominent Stanford player, Toby has still a great deal to learn from the Vikings’ style of playing. He is, on the other hand, making terrific progress and the coaching staff is really pleased with his performance. Even so, he apparently requirements to practice on his surprise attack tactics and on timing them precisely when the enemy’s defenses are low.
Chris Cook
Chris Cook, formerly with the Virginia Cavaliers, is now with the Vikings as prospective cornerback. Like Gerhart, he is a second round NFL draftee. He is also third inside the depth chart following Antoine Winfield and Benny Sapp. He has been excelling throughout team practices and like Gerhart, is being trained to turn into a well-rounded football pro.

Superbowl XLV PreGame
2010 Super Bowl Commercial Highlights
Super Bowl XLV Preview
Two of the most storied programs in professional football are set to meet in the most expensive sporting venue in the world.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers have nine Super Bowl trophies between them and will face each other Sunday in Super Bowl XLV.
Tough they’ll play indoors at the $1 billion Cowboys Stadium, the winter storm that’s blanketed north Texas is fitting for two cold-weather teams.
The Steelers (12-4) beat the Arizona Cardinals two years ago for their sixth Super Bowl all-time and their second since 2006.
Pittsburgh, buoyed by their typical lock-down defense and strong-armed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, beat the New York Jets and division rival Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.
The Packers (10-6) beat Michael Vick and the Eagles, the NFC’s top-ranked Atlanta Falcons and the Bears to earn their first trip to the Super Bowl since 1997.
Sunday’s matchup pits two of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks in Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and Roethlisberger. Both signal-callers are adept at avoiding the pass rush and making plays outside the pocket.
Rodgers completes 65.7 percent of his passes and finished the regular season with 3,922 passing yards and 28 touchdowns.
Roethlisberger returned from a league-mandated, four-game suspension to finish with 3,200 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Roethlisberger, however, will have a new center for the game after first-year player Maurkice Pouncey was ruled out of the Super Bowl due to a high ankle sprain suffered in the AFC Championship Game.
Second-year center Doug Legursky, who has played all three positions along the line and even lined up at fullback, will start in place of Pouncey.
That could be good news for Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji, who is the centerpiece of Green Bay’s 3-4 defense led by Dom Capers.
Both defenses run similar 3-4 schemes as Capers was once an assistant with Pittsburgh defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau while they worked on Bill Cowher’s staff.
The zone-blitz concept was birthed by LeBeau and used by both coordinators throughout stops with Cincinnati (LeBeau) and Carolina (Capers) and Houston (Capers).
In the 3-4, rush linebackers play a crucial part in creating pocket pressure.
For Green Bay, second-year linebacker Clay Matthews has been unstoppable at times this season with 13.5 sacks.
His Pittsburgh counterpart is 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison, who returned an interception off Kurt Warner for a 100-yard score two years ago in Pittsburgh’s last Super Bowl win.
Harrison is known as a big-hitter.
Linebacker play is a staple of both defenses, but both teams have a dynamic, Pro Bowl defensive back to keep an eye on.
Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu finished the regular season with seven interceptions despite missing two games to injury.
Green Bay veteran cornerback Charles Woodson had just two interceptions this season, but accounted for 92 tackles – third most on the team. He’s lined up in the slot and out wide, giving Capers the option of blitzing him and letting him play coverage. Woodson forced five fumbles this season.
Pittsburgh’s defense led the league with 14.5 points given up per game. Green Bay was just a hair behind at 15.
Two premier quarterbacks, two crushing 3-4 defenses and two of the most historic teams in league history will create what looks to be a classic Super Bowl.
That said, which quarterback has the edge. Which 3-4 defense will make the most plays?

2010 Off to a Flying Start for the Baltimore Ravens
After the first week of play, the Baltimore Ravens are looking like a winning team. While at this point of the season half the teams all have an unbeaten record, the Ravens actually look like a team that is for real this season.
In their season opener the Ravens out played their opponents and made them remember the name Baltimore, this did not come as an easy task at first. Once the team got their momentum going, they became an unstoppable force on the field. If the previous week is any indication of the season the team is looking to have, then it will be a long one for their opponents.
Unlike in the previous season, the running game has found their mojo and is on track to run past their opponents. This will be an important thing that needs to be considered when the opposition is in the film room watching film. This will be a tough part of the game for them to stop.
There is still a little bit of tweaking that the team needs to do in order to be a top passing team in the division. Speaking of the division, there is not much competition that will give the team much trouble in getting to the top of the division. The only real hurdle that they will need to contend with is the Steelers.
This season is shaping up to be one of the best that Baltimore has had since Steve Mcnair played for them. There is talk in the early part of the season that the team is looking like a Super Bowl team that will be giving the Saints a run for a repeat of their Super Bowl title. While it is still a little early to make this prediction, there is a lot of promise that the team looks to have in the coming weeks.
Baltimore will need to remain as focused as they wee in week one, Maintain this focus will many times afford the team a chance to dominate their division and as a result head to the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl.
Several off season moves allowed for the team to increase their exposure and as a result allowed for the coaching staff to make the needed adjustments that has them in the driver seat for the upcoming season, If they remain in the condition that they are in, then they have a decent chance to see tons of success and will as a result the lone team in the division.
The rest of the season will not be a cakewalk and will test the teams overall success. In the next few weeks, the team will need to remain as a cohesive unit and not lose their focus of getting to the Super Bowl and taking it all the way. If you are a fan, then this will be a season that you will be glad to see, as the team will return to the winning ways that they once had.

What are the Bengal’s looking to do in 2010?
Right from the gate the Bengal’s are sending mixed signals for their season. The reason this statement is made, is the fact that the team looked like they were putting together a team that was going to compete with the division and make some serious noise. Instead the only noise that came from the Bengal’s was Chad Ochocinco and his overrated mouth. This leads to the team seeing their season getting off to a start of 0-1 and the teams dominance being in question.
So the question is now, where does the team go from here? The obvious answer would be that the team looks to rebuild and continue down the path that they were on at the beginning of the season; this is not the case though, the team is not as dominate as they made themselves out to be in the first few preseason games that they played.
Things are not always as they seem when it comes down to the team playing their hearts out and getting points on the board. Many of the plays that they made in their last outing were simply luck of the draw plays. A lucky pass here or a good block there led the team to have some measure of success.
Going back to Ochocinco’s performance, this was a great bit of hype that he led into the game, like many of his promises, he was unable to deliver and as a result proved that his team was not better off with him and T.O on the same team. There were those that thought this was the power couple of the NFL, boy were they wrong.
If this is the best that the team has, then it will be a very long season for the team and as a result will lead the fans to look for an answer to their woes, sorry the answer is not in Cleveland either. This looks to be a complete loss for the state of Ohio when it comes to football.
The passing game is less than stellar and as a result has allowed the opposing team to find the dent in their armor and thus leads them to take advantage of this and lead them to beat the Bengal’s. If these issues are not addressed, then the team will be in a difficult position when the season progresses and they get deeper into the season and they actually have to claim their place within the division.
There is a long season that the team will need to make sure that they are fully prepared for. This lack of being prepared will many times lead the team to not be in a good position and thus cause them to be on the losing end of the season.
If you are a die-hard fan, then you better pray that the team finds their way in this mess that they are currently in. The season is young and there is time to get the team on track and turn the season around for the Bengal’s.

2010 Rough Start for the Buffalo Bills
Well one game down and fifteen more to go, this is the bad news and the bad news for the Buffalo Bills. There is a lot of fans that are disappointed after the dismal showing that the Bills had in week one. Many are having to ask the question, is this a sign of the rest of the season? Some analyst actually say that this could be the season that the Bills replicate the perfect season of the Detroit Lions from two seasons ago.
So what exactly went wrong, that caused the wheels to fall off the Bills bus? This can be attributed to a failure on all three sides. This type of overall failure will result in the team seeing a very long season that will have a lot of blown plays.
Looking at the training camps that were held before the season began, it was obvious that the Bills were having some serious problems in getting their offense on the same page. Then looking at the defense, things were not a lot better. It is for this reason that in their preseason games, they looked like a unmotivated team.
For fans that were hoping that the team will shake off the rust, they found that the team had a lot more rust that it looked. The Bills were not just defeated, they were embarrassed and looked like a pee wee football team taking to the field for the first time. There were several missed plays that the team should have made and these would have led to the team scoring some serious points. Instead things fell apart and never recovered from there.
The passing game that the Bills brought was subpar to say the very least. This is a huge area that needs to see some serious work done on it. The fact that the team did not get intercepted any more than he did is a miracle. The passing coach needs to settle the quaterback down a little and get him to see his target instead of blindly throwing the ball and hoping to hit his target.
The pass rush is another area that needs attention ASAP, too many blown opportunities to stop the pass and get the ball back came and went when the Bills had the chance, this led to the team having a bad outing in the 2010 season.
If the team is able to get back to the basics of football, then this can still be a promising season for the Bills, if not, then the team is looking to have a long season that will end in a very disappointing fashion that will lead to them seeing another great season that will head down the tubes.
The schedule does not get much better for the Bills from here, they have one week that they are able to afford to use as a learning experience. If the team does not get things on track, then they will not have a very enjoyable season for the 2010 season.

There is a Lot of Work Needed for the Denver Broncos
It was supposed to be the debut of a lifetime for Tim Tebow, instead it looked like a retirement party for another Denver Quaterback. The opening game for the Denver Broncos was more of a course of what not to do to win games. This was a long game for the team and it’s star quarterback. This was not the type of game that the team was hoping to have for their season opener. Instead they were left with a sour taste in their mouth.
One has to ask themselves, will the team be able to recover from this disaster of week one? If they continue to play the way that they did in this game, then the team will be looking at a long season that will have them losing more games than they win, in addition, there is also the issue of, the coaching that is leading the team.
Mike Shanahan was one of the best coaches that has made their way to the city of Denver, asa result of this, there has been a lot of discussion about was it a good idea to get rid of the best coach that the team has had. Ask many fans and they will tell you without a doubt that this was a huge mistake.
This getting rid of Shanahan will be a decision that will haunt the team all through the 2010 season, imagine the kind of damage that Tebow with the guideance of shanahan could have done. Insteat now this will be given to the Redskins and allow the team to see the best season since 1991.
There is not a lot past the passing of the Broncos that is able to be deemed as being positive for the team to latch onto. This as a result will be the reason that this wikll need to be determined as being a rebuilding season and allow Tebow to get his feet wet and the coach the chance to figure out what he is doing with the team.
Running and defense are the two areas, that the team is sluggish in. This lack of motivation will lead the team to see their dreams go down the drain if they don’t fix the issues quickly. There is still time to save the team, but there needs to be motivation for the team to improve. At the moment, this motivation is not there for them to have.

Who would have seen The Houston Texans would be This Good
Well week one is over and the surprise of it was that the Houston Texans beat the Colts? This is one of the biggest surprises that rocked the NFL, the one single reason for this surprise, is by the name of Mario Williams. This is the single reason that the Texans drafted Williams.
They made the choice to do this over Reggie Bush for the reason that Bush was not seen as a weapon that would be able to stop the Colts and get past their defense. Mario Williams was considered to be the answer and on Sunday this was proven to be correct as the team made their way past the Colts.
There is little time for the team to sit down and relish in their victory, there will need to be a lot of work in the remainder of the season that needs to be done. This work will be the foundation that will keep them atop the division and hopefully allow them the chance to visit the Super Bowl.
The Texans as well as their fans need to remember though that one man can not be a savior of the team alone, there will need to be a long list of improvements that need to be made in order to allow for the team to see the playoffs. While things look good since they beat the Colts, there are a lot of teams that have a bull’s eye on them as a result.
There is a lot of work that will need to be done when it comes to passing the ball down the field. The Texans have not had the best of luck when it involves getting passing yards in the past few seasons. Their needs to be a clear precise plans that are in place when they take to the field for the rest of the season.
It is apparent from their performance when they took to the field on Sunday, that the running game has everything on track in getting the ball down the field. Many of the plays that were run by Williams are that he has been studying the playbook and has it memorized.
The defense of the team will need to be addressed in a little more detail as the season continues to progress along in the season. There were several holes that were apparent in the defense in their last game. These areas of concern need to be addressed as soon as possible in an effort to get the team on track and maintain the momentum that they have built up over the week.
This very well is the best of the years that the Texans have been in existence. If they are able to do everything the correct way, then the team will be well on their way to dominating the division and will be in a position to contest for the Playoffs in the end of the season. Anything is possible, and this will allow the Texans to enjoy the success that the New Orleans Saints enjoyed with their first Super Bowl win.
