The Coach's Super Bowl Pick

2013-09-05T14:33:00.001-04:00

Hello readers its been awhile. Guess What? Football is back finally. With that said it is time for me to give my super bowl pick, but before that I have something to address. Last year I was able to pick the teams and the winner of the super bowl perfectly. Well the reason I was able to pick perfectly because it was easy lol. What I mean by easy is the 49ers and ravens were clearly the best teams from the year before. They shouldve been in the super bowl the year before last, but were short changed by plays the were easily changeable(kyle williams fumble and lee evans catch). Each team was one play from being in the super bowl that year, and were the better teams in their respect conference championships. Now with that being said this is my 2013 super bowl teams and winner. My teams will be the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver broncos, and the winner will be the 49ers. The matchup will come down to 49ers defense vs Mannings IQ

#TRSB #Bengals #NFL Mock Rounds (1-5)

2013-04-21T10:04:00.002-04:00

1.21. Matt Elam, Safety

The #Bengals want Kenny Vacarro, but it is very unlikely he will be around at this spot. DJ Fluker is a possibility but I believe he will be gone and the Bengals should resign Andre Smith early next week. Matt Elam is a first round talent who's only knock is his size. Eric Reid and Jonathan Cyprien also could be the pick if they are still on the board.

2a.37. Tank Carradine, Defensive End

The Bengals recently attended Carradine's private workout. Carradine is seen as a first talent, but recent knee surgery could push him to the second round. The Bengals could also draft corner D.J. Hayden with this pick. With a safety drafted in the 1st the Bengals will take the best player on their board like they did with Devon Still last year. The Bengals attended Carradine's workout last week and according to Joe Reedy he ran a 4.75 which is impressive especially coming off of a knee injury. Carradine provides insurance for MJ93 and Carlos Dunlap.

2b.53 Keenan Allen, Wide Receiver

Keenan Allen was once regarded as the draft's top wide receiver and has been compared by many to Anquan Boldin. Allen's stock has been steadily declining with the upcoming draft due to a PCL injury, slow 40 time of 4.7, off field issues and an alleged failed Combine drug test. All the signs point to a potential fall in the draft for Allen. Some teams could take a chance on Allen he may not last this long so the Bengals may have to pull the trigger at 37. The Bengals have a talented young nucleus that could use another weapon opposite Green. When questioned about the position Marvin Lewis stated the Bengals could draft another to add depth. Mohammed Sanu's versatility and ability to play the slot receiver could allow them to add Allen in the mix.

3.84 Jonathan Franklin, Running Back

It's no secret that the Bengals have a major void at running back and plan to pick one in this upcoming draft. Most mocks have them taking Giovanni Bernard which is a highly likely scenario that they could take. Bernard is viewed by most as the 2nd best running back in the draft. He also had knee concerns and is expected to be drafted anywhere from the 2-3 round. The Bengals draft strategy has always lead them to pick the higher rated player on their draft board. Franklin is an explosive change of pace back that the Bengals are looking for and they coached him during the Senior Bowl. Although the Bengals are known to overlook character concerns they also like players with high character. Franklin makes sense and this is the range he should be taken.

4.118 Tyrann Mathieu, Cornerback

Tyrann Mathieu is a prospect the Bengals are extremely interested in and has some of the intangibles that the Bengals look for. The Honey Badger could be a nickel package player and special teams contributor for the Bengals. Landing Mathieu in the fourth round would be an intriguing high risk, high reward value pick.

5.156 Marcus Lattimore, Running Back

Marcus Lattimore was once known as the top running back of this draft class. After two devastating knee injuries, however he is now expected to slide in the draft. It is unknown how high teams are on him or what pick they would be willing to draft him with. Although many have supported his comeback, it will be hard for teams to overlook his durability concerns and spend a high pick on him. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis was the only head coach present at Lattimore's private workout. This pick would also be high risk/ high reward.

TRSB: Who They Should Draft: THE REALIST DRAFT

2013-04-18T18:48:00.000-04:00

1. Chiefs
Who they should draft: Luke, Joeckel

Analysis: The Chiefs are really looking to move out of this spot , but it doesn't seem likely if they are unable to move down they should take Luke Joeckel.

2. Jaguars
Who they should draft: Geno, Smith, Quarterback

Analysis: Blaine Gabbert is NOT the answer. There are other major needs but with such as high pick you have to take the best quarterback available.

3. Raiders
Who they should draft: Eric Fisher, Tackle
Analysis: The Raiders finally stopped letting Carson Palmer steal money from them and traded him to the Cardinals. The Raiders are also in relaunch mode and should start with protection.

4. Eagles
Who they should draft: Lane Johnson, Tackle
Analysis: Michael Vick got hit how many times last year? Exactly

5. Lions
Who they should draft: Dee Milliner, Corner / Tavon Austin, Wide Receiver
Analysis: It is not a secret that the Detroit Lions secondary is weak. An offense with Megatron, Bush and Austin would be scary.

6. Browns
Who they should draft: EJ Manuel, Quarterback / Dee Milliner, Corner
Analysis: Brandon Weeden is about to be 30 and played horrible last year. Manuel and Trent would be an exciting combo. Dee Milliner would also be an intriguing pick

7. Cardinals
Who they should should draft: The best offensive lineman available.
Analysis: They traded for a declining, dirt slow Carson Palmer who is glued to the pocket and never regained his 2005 form. With no line Carson could become an interception machine or get injured.

8. Bills
Who they should draft: Ryan Nassib, Quarterback, Ezekiel Ansah, Defensive Lineman
Analysis: Kevin Kolb has failed twice as a starter I can't even say he is better than Fitzpatrick..Kolb is not the answer and Nassib's head coach at Syracuse is on their coaching staff.

9. Jets
Who they should draft: EJ Manuel Quarterback /Tavon Austin Wide Receiver
Analysis: It's no secret that the Jets are in the market for a quarterback as well as adding a spark to their offense. Both of these players could provide the spark Rex needs.

10. Titans
Who They should draft: Xavier Rhodes, Corner Jonathan Cooper, Offensive Lineman
Analysis: The Titans need secondary help which has had a hole since Finnegan's departure. There is also a need for line protection for their quarterback

11. Chargers
Who They should draft: Kenny Vacarro, Safety , DJ Fluker, Offensive Tackle
Analysis: With a run on tackles expected early the Chargers should sit back and take Fluker who is just as good. The Chargers secondary needs some excitement Vaccaro would provide them that.

12. Dolphins
Who they should draft: DJ Fluker, Offensive Tackle / Star Lotulelei, Defensive Lineman
Analysis: Idealistically the Dolphins would want to add a premium tackle with the recent departure of Jake Long. Fluker could be their guy otherwise they would have to trade up.. If they stay at 12 they should take Lotulelei which would be tremendous value.

13. Bucanneers
Who they should draft: Dee Milliner (via trade) / Tavon Austin, Wide Receiver
Analysis: Instead of trading away so much for Revis the Bucs should look into trading up in order to acquire the draft's best corner in Milliner. If Milliner is gone then you have to take Austin.

14. Panthers
Who they should draft: DeAndre Hopkins, Wide Receiver
Analysis: If the Panthers want Newton to be successful they need to surround him with weapons.

15. Saints
Who they should draft: Jarvis Jones, Linebacker
Analysis: The Saints will be within range to draft Jarvis Jones that would weaken the perception of a soft Saints defense.

16.Rams
Who they should draft: Alec Ogletree Linebacker
Analysis: The Rams are the underdogs in a division built with Super Bowl contenders and top notch defenses. Pairing Ogletree with Laranitis would improve their weakness at linebacker.

17. Steelers
Who they should draft: Cordarelle Patterson, Wide Reciever
Analysis: With Mike Wallace leaving for South Beach the Steelers need a playmaker with explosive ability.

18. Cowboys
Who they should draft: Kenny Vacarro, Safety
Analysis: The Cowboys are weak at safety and could take the best one in the draft.

19. Giants
Who they should draft: Alec Ogletree, Linebacker / Bjoern Warner , Defensive End
Analysis: The Giants look to retool their defense with this selection

20. Bears
Who they should draft: Tyler Eiffert, Tight End / Arthur Brown, Linebacker
Analysis: Eiffert provides quarterback Jay Cutler a sure handed dependable option on offense.

21. Bengals
Who they should draft: Kenny Vaccarro, Safety / DJ Fluker, Offensive Tackle/ Alec Ogletree Linebacker
Analysis: The Bengals have many options at 21, if Vaccaro falls to him he would be the pick however they made need to trade up in order for this to happen. Fluker is a replacement for Smith & Ogletree is raw but extremely talented.

22. Rams
Who they should draft: Jonathan Cyprien, Safety / Justin Hunter, Wide Reciever
Analysis: Rams could look to add to their secondary however I believe this pick will be offensive in order to give Bradford a weapon

23. Vikings
Who They should draft: Mati Te'o, Linebacker
Analysis: The Vikings have a clear need at linebacker and Te'o is the perfect fit and this is a good range for him.

24. Colts
Who they should draft: Margus Hunt, Defensive Lineman
Analysis: Dwight Freeney is no longer a Colt, he must be replaced

25. Vikings
Who they should draft: Robert Woods, Wide Reciever
Analysis: The Vikings need to replace the versatile Percy Harvin and Woods is one of the better receivers in this draft.

26. Packers
Who they should draft: Ed Lacy, Running Back
Analysis: The Packers need a power back and Lacy would provide that element for their offense

27. Texans
Who they should draft: Kevin Minter, Linebacker
Analysis: The Texans continue to improve their defense and this pick would allow them to keep doing that

28. Broncos
Who they should draft: Damontre Moore, Defensive Lineman
Analysis: Moore has slide in the draft and could be a project fix, but his potential makes this selection reasonable

29. Patriots
Who they should draft: DJ Hayden, Corner
Analysis: The Patriots need secondary help, Tom Brady's window is closing and this is a position they have to invest in.

30. Falcons
Who they should draft: Zach Ertz, Tight End / BPA
Analysis: The Falcons look to be active within the first round of the draft, they could target Tavon Austin, Alec Ogltree, Zach Eiffert or any potential stud that falls. They could easily trade up.

31. 49ers
Who they should draft: Eric Reid, Safety
Analysis: The 49ers need help at safety and this draft is full of them, here is a good spot to catch one.

32. Ravens
Who they should draft: BPA
Analysis: The Ravens have rebooted and will be looking to catch under valued prospects

The Coach's Super Bowl Pick

2012-09-05T13:31:00.001-04:00

Well hello readers its been awhile...lets get right to it well NFL football season is upon us today, so the super bowl predictions begin and start circulating. The NFC team will be the 49ers. I picked them simply because they are the best defensive team Ive seen since the 2000 ravens, and offensively in my eyes they have drastically improved especially at receiver. Say what you want about Randy Moss but nobody not even Darrelle Revis wants see randy moss run a 9 route(streak, go, fly route). My AFC pick are the Ravens they are a more seasoned/older mirror image of the 49ers. Flacco doesnt have to be Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers he just has to be trent dilfer(play mistake free) and give the ball to ray rice as much as he can. I Could careless about the harbaugh brothers facing each other to me thats just for the media to have something to talk about. Now for the pick, I see the Ravens winning 31-27 in a rare shootout between two defensive teams, and Ray Lewis( to me the greatest linebacker Ive seen) will walk away from the game on top. Basically I'm saying that I trust Joe Flacco more than I trust Alex Smith

#TRSB: #NFLDRAFT Kicks Off Tonight

2012-04-26T10:18:00.000-04:00

The NFL Draft will finally be here ay 8pm tonight and should be one that is very interesting. The questions of every prospect will be answered. Trent Richardson (RB, Alabama), Justin Blackmon (WR, Oklahoma State) , Ryan Tannehill (QB, Texas A&M) Luke Kuechly (LB, Boston College) , Mark Barron (S, Alabama) , Michael Floyd (WR, Notre Dame) and Janoris Jenkins (CB, UF/North Alabama) will be some of the prospects I would keep a close eye on. They could come or slide down at any point in this draft and become draft day steals. With so many smokescreens and "leaked sources" coming you can never take anything at face value. At least after tonight we will know exactly which players will be taken in the first round and who will fall to the second.

#TRSB: Samuel To The #Falcons? #NFL #Eagles

2012-04-25T09:43:00.000-04:00

It has been known for a while now that the Philadelphia Eagles have been looking to deal Asante Samuel for a lowly pick in this year's draft. Samuel spoke out about his discontent with his current deal and has expressed interest in a new deal that the Eagles have been reluctant to provide him. The Broncos seemed to be the first team interested as a report leaked last week, however recently the Falcons have emerged as a possible landing spot. According to numerous sources, the Falcons could be prepared to make a deal for Samuel. The Falcons would be a perfect fit for the 31 year old Samuel being that they have a "Win Now" mentallity. If this deal does happen Dunta Robinson could be on the outside looking in. Robinson has not lived up to the big deal that the Falcons signed him to; could become a cap casualty. With no first round pick this year's draft look for the Falcons to pull the trigger on this trade.

#TRSB: Ebanks To The Rescue? #Lakeshow #NBA

2012-04-23T11:01:00.001-04:00

The Los Angeles Lakers won in double overtime lead by none other than superstar Kobe Bryant. This was a much needed win for the Lakers being that this could be a rematch set to take place in the playoffs. The Lakers needed this win just to boost the morale of a possible deep playoff run. One bad outcome was that there was an obvious cheap elbow shot from Metta World Peace that knocked James Harden out of the game. This could be a blessing in disguise if Artest is injured because it forced the Lakers to turn to young forward Devin Ebanks into heavy minutes. Ebanks displayed an a ability to guard Durant in the clutch and could become a formidable defender on the wing for LA in the playoffs. Ebanks was known for his tenacious defense at West Virginia and matches up better with the athletic small forwards at 6'9 than World Peace . Ebanks is a poor man's Trevor Ariza and could provide the defensive spark the Lakers need off the bench.

Janoris Jenkins Worth The Risk?

2012-04-20T10:08:00.002-04:00

   Janoris Jenkins has been the subjected to fall in this year's draft due to character concerns, but is arguably the best corner in the draft. While at Florida, Jenkins shutdown all top three SEC receivers i.e. A.J. Green, Julio Jones; Alshon Jeffrey someting top projected Morris Claiborne never accomplished himself . AJ Green came to Jenkin's defense when he was quoted stating Jenkins was the best corner he faced throughout his collegiate career. That means a lot coming from a guy who just had one of the best seasons a rookie receiver has ever had. There is no doubt in my mind Jenkins is the best cover corner in this draft and has elite ball skills that will transition at the next level.

   I understand Jenkins is a huge risk, but he's also a huge reward if he gets his act together and could end up being a steal come draft day. If he ends up on a team in the right situation like the Patriots they could land a top 5 talent in the 20's. Look for teams in the middle of the first round with a dire need at corner to roll the dice I think he's worth it. With the NFL becoming a pass happy league and the cornerback position becoming even more valuable I expect some teams to overlook those concerns and take a chance. In my eyes Jenkins is worth that risk and if it was up to me he'd be the second pick off the board.

#TRSB: Bynum Doing Work #LA #Lakeshow #NBA #TeamBynum

2012-04-19T10:17:00.000-04:00

Andrew Bynum is hands down the most dominant offensive center in the NBA and is currently on pace to challenge Dwight Howard as the best big in the NBA. In my opinion I have always picked Bynum as the best center in the league in recent years. Bynum's offensive post game shatters Howard's who has a very bland post game with no moves. Howard holds the edge over Bynum in atheticism and defense, but the defensive gap isn't as wide as their offensive gap.

Watching Bynum dominate with Kobe out has proven naysayers wrong Andrew Bynum and has proven he can put up the same or even better numbers than Howard. Bynum has been eating up teams as of late and made it look easy once again last night againstt Golden State. He also has quietly strung together two consecutive healthy seasons , while ironically Dwight Howard is the one who is currently hurt. Look forward to this rivalry for years to come in a league where there is a scarcity of dominant centers.

#TRSB : #Knicks Torch The #Celtics #NBA

2012-04-18T09:56:00.001-04:00

The Knicks have been an up and down this entire season, however they made a HUGE statement last night against the Boston Celtics. Carmelo Anthony has been on a tear as of late and finished the game with 35 points, 12 rebounds; 10 assists. Last night the took a huge step by showing they could hang with another contender in the East in a game with playoff implications; the team may have also found another role player in Steve Novak after his 25 point performance. Anthony has put the Knicks on his back and they look to get Amare Stoudemire back to help push for a playoff run.

#TRSB : Playoffs Start to Take Form #NBA #MIA #CHI #BOS #NYK #OKC #LAL #LAC #MEM

2012-04-17T10:58:00.000-04:00

With then end of the NBA season looming, the real playoff contenders are starting to become clear in each conference. In the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat are leading the pack as favorites to make a playoff run. The Chicago Bulls seem to be a much improved and deeper team that could give Miami a run for their money. The same can be said for the Boston Celtics and their new rotation with Jesus Shuttlesworth as their Sixth man and KG playing Center. The jury is still out on the New York Knicks as contenders with Stoudemire and Lin sidelined , but I still hold them as my wild card pick in the East.

In the Western Conference, Oklahoma City seems destined to make a playoff run, but they must go through either the Clippers or the Lakers to make a run for the Finals. The Lakers are revamped at the point guard position with Ramon Sessions and the emerging Andrew Bynum. My top contenders in the West are the Thunder, Clippers;Lakers in that order. The Grizzlies are also my wild card pick with newly acquired guard Gilbert Arenas providing a spark off of their bench wit Z-Bo. When the playoffs start things could get very interesting.

The time is almost here with ten days left before the 2012 NFL Draft there are still questions that remain. Where will QB Ryan Tannehill land? Will Trent Richardson to be Top 5 pick? Who will trade out of the Top 5? How far will Janoris Jenkins fall? Will Floyd leap Blackmon? These are all questions that could have a HUGE impact on this years draft. We are now headed down the home stretch of the draft which means take nothing you hear now at face value. With the draft approaching closely, teams will send out all type of "smoke screens" not to show their draft hand. After months of countless mock drafts and speculation, it will good to see Roger Goodell take the podium next Thursday in New York.

#TRSB: Kendall Wright To The #Bengals? #NFL #Baylor #NFLDraft #WhoDey #CIN

2012-03-25T11:13:00.001-04:00

Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright has all the tools to be an instant impact No. 2 wide receiver at the next level. Not only does this kid own all of the Baylor receiving records, his stock has skyrocketed after his new and improved 40 time at his Pro Day. It's no secret that the Bengals have a gaping hole at wide receiver since Jerome Simpson's "departure". With two first round picks the Bengals have the luxury of using one of those picks to land a wide receiver. Wright has been a consensus top 20 pick among experts; after his Pro Day he could climb even higher. Wright is a small but effective receiver who could give this Bengals offense an explosive option across from AJ Green. Wright has been compared by scouts to Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith. The Bengals have filled most positional needs through free agency, Kendall Wright can fill their void at wide receiver.

Peyton Manning to the Broncos

2012-03-19T12:02:00.002-04:00

Now this not a suprise at all. When the news first broke that manning was goin to be released. I knew their were only 3 legit teams that could or would sign him and Denver was definitely one of them. Honestly I think he should of sign with san fran but who am I? You can bet tho the Denver Broncos will be the story of year but on the account of Peyton Manning and not Tim Tebow. I think that the Broncos defense is highly overrated and will be either the down fall or the rise of the Broncos. I don't think they will play as hard for Manning as they did Tebow but again who am I? Well we are going to see. My prediction Broncos 10-6 barely makes the playoffs again!
