Rex Ryan dresses like brother Rob Ryan

This guy is ridiculous...Even though he's the head coach of the Jets, you have to love him.  He does what he wants and he entertains.



Here is a good Rex Ryan speech... Discusses his team's priorities and points out the fact that his players were eating cheeseburgers before a game (PROFANITY).  Of course he has to finish with a joke in there.




AND, a picture of the two Rob Ryans.

What to watch for this weekend...

Video of the Day - Zac Etheridge and Rodney Scott

This is absolutely incredible.  I am amazed at the video productions that ESPN puts together.  I had the chills during this entire 5 minute clip.

QB Troy Smith is set to start against the Broncos in London this Sunday. I really like this move. I was a big fan of Smith coming out of college, and he was slotted to start in Baltimore a couple of years ago, but got he injured and Flacco took over and he never got a chance after that. Smith is finally getting a chance to shine, and I think he will do a great job utilizing all the talent on the 49ers roster, and finish off the year as the 49ers starter.

It's always fun to try to pick out the next stars of the NCAA.  Here are LSU's recruits from this past recruiting class:

I love this rant. There is really nothing you can add to it. It has so much credibility because it is coming from a former NFL player.

I think this Sunday everyone is going to be looking for that one hit that could get someone suspended. When it finally does happen, there is going to be a huge amount of controversy.

V/S of the Day 10/13/10

Colt McCoy may be starting his first game against the Steelers this weekend. I really like Colt McCoy as an NFL prospect, but I think he may be a little over his head against the stout Steelers defense.

Video of his top 10 plays:

Apparently the quarterback cannot be downfield when a forward pass is thrown.  (Brett Favre catching a Randy Moss pass on the first play of tonight's game.)

After watching a bit of Calvin Johnson today, I figured I would throw up his unreal highlights from Georgia Tech:


Picture of the Day:

Calvin doing his thing.

NFL Stat of the Day:

Calvin Johnson was considered a "freak" after posting a sub 4.5 40 yard dash time at the NFL combine (considering he is 6'5 235 pounds).  

Here are the fastest recorded 40 yard dash times from the NFL Combine:

• 4.24: Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina (2008)

NFL Video, Picture and Stat of the Day - 10/6/10

My and Keith's favorite movie...what a great speech!  "5 foot nothin.  One hundred and nothin..."

Picture of the Day:  The Rudy of the NFL.

Danny Woodhead of the Patriots now has two touchdowns in the last two games.  Woodhead is listed at 5'9 200 pounds on nfl.com (Haha!).  He's roughly 5'7 and 180 pounds, and was the division 2 player of the year in 2007 when he attended Chadron State.  

NFL Stat of the Day:  

According to Mel Bashore from The Coffin Corner, the smallest player in NFL history is: Jack "Soapy" Shapiro...5'1 119 pound blocking back for the Staten Island Stapletons

Can anyone find a player smaller than that!?

Since Tom Brady is going for win #100 as I am writing this, here are the four quarterbacks that will soon be numbers two through four in terms of the fastest to 100 wins:

Brett Favre - Packers - 153 Games

Peyton Manning - Colts - 154 Games

Tom Brady (If the Patriots Win) - Patriots - 131 Games

Video/Debate of the Day

Arkansas was the first team I ever saw run the Wildcat with RB Darren McFadden and RB Felix Jones. It was an amazing combination, here is the Arkansas offensive coordinator breaking it down:




Debate topic of the day:

What two players would you like to see run the Wildcat?

- I think Vikings Adrian Peterson and WR Percy Harvin would be a deadly combination, or Eagles RB LeSean McCoy and WR DeSean Jackson would also be an explosive combination.

Video/Debate of the Day

Debate Topic of the Day

5 Fastest Players in the NFL?

-Guidelines: I took in to account straight line and lateral quickness (so Ted Ginn Jr. does not make the cut).

1. RB Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans – unbelievably fast and quick and can carry the ball 25+ times a game.

2. WR DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles – He seems to just run by people with ease.

3. WR Devin Hester, Chicago Bears – May have the best combination of speed, quickness and agility.

4. WR Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions and WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots – Long striders that can just blow by defenders.

5. CB Champ Bailey, Denver Broncos – may have lost a step, but I think still has the best acceleration in

the NFL.

What are your top 5?

Here is a video of the NFL networks top 10 ever, Deion Sanders in my mind should get strong consideration for #1, it looked like he was not even trying and would run by people:

V/P/S of the Day

Stat of the Day: WR Anquan Boldin faster receiver to reach 600 receptions. Pretty good for a receiver that fell into the second round because he did not run a fast enough time at the combine.




He may also be one of the toughest players in the NFL, this hit knocked him out and he had to get screws in his jaw. QB Kurt Warner, (who passed the ball) was so upset about what had happened he almost retired after the game. Amazingly Bolding came back in only 2 weeks:

Here is some highlights of Boldins Career:

V/P/S of the Day

Fun video to watch, how many of these hits would be illegal now?

Debate topic of the day:

Who are the top 5 hardest hitters in the NFL now? my list:

1. LB Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens

2. S Laron Landry, Washington Redskins

3. S Brian Dawkins, Denver Broncos

4. LB Patrick Willis, San Fransisco 49ers

5. S Adrian Wilson, Arizona Cardinals

Honorable Mention: RB Adrian Peterson -not a lot of linebackers want to get hit by him.
