Williams Case Study

The Dallas Cowboys have terminated the contract of running back Ryan Williams just days before the team’s training camp opens on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer.

When Dez broke his foot week 1 there was confidence in some that Williams would step up, and not be Dez Bryant, but help keep this offense rolling to where they wouldn’t miss Dez a whole lot. But of course things like that didn’t plan out so well. Williams to me is a 50/50 player who that you don’t know which player you will get each Sunday. Some games you’ll get the Williams that catches just about

That won't be an issue if the first practice is any indication, Williams said. He "absolutely" got enough work as the backup because the offense ran dozens of plays throughout the day. Williams even commented on his feet hurting after the session.

Despite being a perianal playoff contender, the team has a need at the wide receiver position. New England has lacked a legitimate deep threat since losing Randy Moss during the 2010 season. Imagine inserting Thomas into an offense that already has Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. Thomas would most almost always be matched up against single coverage. With his speed, size, and acceleration Thomas would thrive in this situation. Playing in New England would not only benefit him, but it would also provide the organization with a number one receiver for the next decade. As I mentioned earlier since losing Moss, the teams go-to, deep threat receiver has looked like a revolving door. The team has often brought in a new face every season to take on this role. Thomas would bring the team stability at this

With Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for the broken-jawed Geno Smith, there should be a good amount of rushing early in the season. Oh, and they

After another wild free agency period, during which a variety of different teams overhauled their rosters, the annual NFL Draft is almost upon us. With the big event beginning this Thursday, below is one last mock draft for the first round. This mock follows the draft order as is (no trades).

With preseason over, all 32 teams need to be down to 53 players. It’s not an easy time to be a 3rd-string player, a late-round draft pick, or an aging veteran.

For more than a week there has been talk all over the league about Dez Bryant and the Cowboys possibly reaching a long awaited agreement that would make the Dallas Cowboys organization happy but most importantly make Dez feel like he is wanted and appreciated. July 15th is the last day to reach an agreement on a long term contract. Once this day passes they wont be able to start up talks again until January 3 2016 when the 2015 regular season ends. Most are saying that both sides will most likely remain at a stand still until the deadline approaches. Well folks, here we are. The deadline is days away and there have been no credible sources have

With Smith likely to be red shirted in ’16 and the rest of the defensive draft picks not fancy enough, it’s hard to think at the moment that the Cowboys’ defense can become a playmaking unit and improve from their dreadful production in the takeaway department. At the same time, adding meat on the interior by signing Cedric Thornton and drafting Collins could give the Cowboys a better push inside, opening up the gaps for the linebackers shoot through while improving the outside rush – and though Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory are suspended for the first four games – let’s not forget that we saw an uptick in Lawrence’s game last season and that Gregory still has lots of upside to be special. Of course, that’s if both youngsters can keep their noses

Then again Jarred Hayne is not just anybody he is the “Hayne Plane”, the rugby experiment in the NFL. But I feel that he is the very example of what it means to “follow your dreams”. He brings experience like no other player has. He brings explosiveness to a team that has plenty of it, and will only add to this team’s explosiveness. Haynes explosiveness can be coupled with any other player of the team which will end in an amazing in a display of power, speed and elusive running which would be to his advantage.

Fast forward to this year’s draft and the Eagles replicated this same philosophy in the fourth round.

We have explored several corner prospects over the past few weeks. Each would be a tremendous upgrade to what is already on the Steelers roster.

Currently, there are three running backs, who could go in the first round: Florida State's Dalvin Cook, LSU's Leonard Fournette, and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey.

Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers: This guy was a beast last year. I know, because I had him on my team. He had eight games in which he had more than 100 yards, his lowest amount in a game last year, 72. He led the NFL in receiving yards and tied for second in touchdowns. While Martavis Bryant and Markus Wheaton improved towards the tail end of last year, this guy is still amazing. Brown doesn’t really have any disappointing games either. He’s my number one guy at wideout. If my top five ranked running backs are gone and he’s available, it’s a no brainer, I’m drafting this standout

Bennie Logan recorded the best run stop percentage of any NFC DT in 2015 Per Pro Football Focus. Logan ranked second overall in "Run Stop Percentage," In the NFL by Pro Football Focus. Philadelphia's run defense was the best in the league early in the season then Logan got injured and things went downhill for the Eagles. Logan and Cox make up one of the best DT pairings in the NFL.
