Maurice Jones-Drew: Beast of the Week (Week 3)
The City of Opportunity!
By Gayle Saunders
On November 30, 2008 two things happened. Plaxico Burress irresponsibly shot himself in the leg and due to that circumstance he turned boys into men within the New York WR corps. The Giants organization had to make a hard choice, how do you cut a productive go-to receiver, who does nothing but intimidate cornerbacks? No matter how tough the decision was, the Giants felt they made the right one. Read more

Playing the Matchups – Decision Maker
Here’s a list of defenses and what they have done through 3 weeks this season. I have listed their points allowed in each game as well as their highest and lowest amount of yards allowed. Obviously, a big part of Fantasy Football is playing the matchups and this is a list I have compiled to help with that. Some of the “luck” involved in winning is directly related to how schedules shape up for players down the stretch. It’s good to take an in-depth look at what you can do to make the best decisions in getting the right players in your lineup. Things can change quickly and certain teams will match up more favorably than other teams. So, although this isn’t an exact science, following tendencies and starting players against the easiest matchups will give your the best chance to score the most points. I will try and update these periodically throughout the season. Read more

The Brick Wall – Ryan Clady
By Steve O’Reilly
In the 2008 NFL Draft the Denver Broncos selected Ryan Clady out of Boise State. A Boise St. Bronco became a Denver Bronco, a Bronco for life or so Denver fans hope! Through 19 games Clady has yet to yield a full sack, his only 1/2 sack came against Richard Seymour when he played for the New England Patriots in the Week 7 drubbing of the Broncs last season. Those incredible stats have earned Clady a share of an NFL Record with former Jets O-Lineman Ryan Young. Clady is humble and hard working and while he cares about his personal success, he would like to make Pro Bowls like any other player, he cares more about the Broncos team success. After all, Offensive Lineman never become O-Lineman for the glory it’s usually for the love of the sport. Read more

The West Coast Offense
The West Coast Offense was mastered by Bill Walsh with the San Francisco 49ers. Let’s look at some of the basic philosophies of this league altering system that Walsh created. He took knowledge learned from the offensive minds of Don “Air” Coryell as well as Paul Brown, Sid Gillman and Al Davis. Walsh blended those philosophies and created the West Coast Offense to win multiple championships with the Niners. What is the West Coast Offense? Let’s take a look and see what makes this system so unique from other systems used in the NFL. Read more
