Made of glass.

Yeah his career was derailed due to injury, but as a result he had less of a career. Regardless, it's crazy how good the 2011 draft was, aside from the non-Newton QBs.

The NFL just passed a rule that players cannot lower their heads to initiate contact: defenders, ball carriers, blockers, doesn't matter. It could result in a 15 yard penalty or an ejection. The catch rule has been officially changed as well.

Oh ffs. Let's just outlaw football. And boxing. And MMA. And half the contact in basketball. And racing.

Still chatter that the Cowboys cut Dez.

It's the subjectivity that gets me. Just what the NFL needed: more hard-to-enforce judgement calls!

Yeah I still think theyre going to. If we dont, were gonna be in a pretty bad cap spot with Martin, DLaw, Irving, and Byron currently on 1-yr deals. Of course, we could move on from Witten or Crawford or TWill eventually, but *insert clapper meme*

Lance seems a bit agitated over the reaction to his latest mock draft.

So, who wants to pay Bell 17 million dollars? Because that's apparently his asking price.

[kirmie]

That new NFL targeting rule could be interesting this year since it includes the ball carrier lowering his head.

[steelers_pens_fan]

I think we are going to see a more wide open pro game in a few years, similar to college just more technical. One could argue that it's already started. I predict kickoffs will be gone at some point, too.

Sugar coding? That's some sweet programming.

You mostly hear defenders complain about this, but I'm surprised you don't hear from more offensive players, specifically RBs, who lower the helmet just as much and will also not be permitted to do so.
