    3 Concerns the Cards Have About the Upcoming Season

    I believe this offense will be a run heavy focused offense. I don't think they drafted Benson to be a third down, specialty back. I honestly think he is going to see a good amount of carries along with Connor and Carter being that change of pace back. I think the Offensive staff would be...

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    When you really start looking at this, certain things seems to stand out. The kicking team nor can the receiving team other than the kicker and the two return guys move at all until the ball is touched. At most there will be 40 yards between the returners and the coverage team. It probably...

    TIME TO GET RICH: Kyler Passing O/U

    I think I'll take the under with Murray. This team is going to be run heavy with emphasis on chewing up the clock. Just because Murray has better weapons this year doesn't mean the offense is going to throw the ball more. I also think he will miss a couple of games or more.

    I could see that happening.

    Your best and worst picks of day 2?

    I really like Benson. I could see this going the same way as the Detroit combo of Montgomery/Gibbs at running back, Connor/Benson, 2,000 yards rushing between the two.

    10 thoughts - day two and day three

    I'm quite okay with the first three picks of the draft. I always considered Melton to be underrated and I'm glad we got him. As for Benson, I see it as he fits the mold or type of running back Petzing likes for his offense and Benson also takes some of the load off of Connor who misses games...

    Civil War

    Or that South Carolina would not be part of the Florida Alliance? Having lived in SC, they still think the civil war isn't quite over yet and the South will rise again and I say this seriously.

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    It's the reason I stop watching baseball. Once they started with the designated hitter and taking out the strategy of pinching hitting for the pitcher and bunting a runner over and other strategic action I felt the great parts of the game were gone. Besides there were some pretty good hitting...

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    If these new kickoff rules are enforced for the 2024 season, there is going to be a substantial increase in kickoff returns for TDs. The compressed field will allow for that. Less depth between the defenders and the returner. There will also be more field starting position pass the 30 yard...

    JJ McCarthy killed it at his Pro-Day

    Just came across a draft scenario that has the Cardinals taking McCarthy at number four and then trading Murray and a 3rd to Minnesota for their #11 pick and taking Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo with the #11 pick and Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia with the #27 pick...

    Possible new kickoff rules.

    The owners will be voting today on a new kickoff rules. After reading the article, I say just eliminate the kickoff totally especially if they vote to change it as proposed...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    Why Berhalter had Reyna playing so far back is beyond my comprehension. Talk about taking one of your own play makers out of the game. I missed the second US goal because of Paramount. It froze on me.

    The Official US Soccer thread

    What bothered me most about the Jamaica game was how slow the US was in terms of ball movement and off ball runs as well as indecisive (slow) decisions by players on the ball. It's easy to defend a team when their pace of play is that of a snail especially in the first half.

    Reyna had a lock picker's touch tonight. Some of his passes were a thing of beauty. Wright should be playing 90 minutes. He has been the only striker who has shown that he has the strength to not get knocked off the ball and he has a knack of putting the ball on goal.
