How the Chicago Bears can slow down Michael Vick
Yes, I only said "slow down" for a reason. I don't think he can be stopped. I think the most difficult thing to game plan against in football is a scrambling quarterback. You can devise ways to take away pet plays or to take away a stud running back. You can figure out how to bottle up a top...
Goal Line Option Routes
When the Bears were on the goal line Sunday in Atlanta, NBC color man Cris Collinsworth did a nice job of pointing out the Falcon safety and the options the Bears have depending on what the receiver and quarterback see. The perspective of each will vary slightly due to the angle each have in...
Cincinnati Bengals Season Tickets on sale, will fans come back?;
+ Scout Inc's Ed Thompson writes, "it's hard to believe that (the Bengals) would rely on the highly unreliable Cedric Benson at the top of their depth chart." There's several things here to note. First off, acquiring a top-tier running back in the draft just wasn't priority -- there were...

I guess I have to start off with something about Shockey. First of all, Shockey will be wearing #88 for the black and gold this season. You'll have to jump for the rest, and it is quite a lot. Some of you might have heard about this, since its been the talk of the day. Tom Rock from Newsday...
Collinsworth returns to Inside the NFL on Showtime
Former Bengals wide receiver and current horribly-low-budgeted figure-head for a local dealership (the name escapes me), will be remaining in his seat for the new Inside the NFL on Showtime. The news that Inside the NFL was leaving HBO crushed me. I loved it. Often against the guidelines of...
