Of course, they don’t tell you everything. Many don’t tell you anything and most talk in code, as if you need a windtalker (or possibly John Clayton) to decipher the true meaning. But everybody talks at the NFL Scouting Combine, and it’s the job of scrubs like me to tell [...]
Once you sift through all the Ray Lewis and Harbaugh family stuff — and that requires a lot of sifting — you get to the real meat of the discussion leading up to the Super Bowl. As is often the case, it’s really about the direction of the game, how [...]
The offense Andrew Luck operated well enough as a rookie to guide the overachieving Colts into the playoffs and reach the Pro Bowl is gone. He hopes it is not entirely forgotten. Make no mistake, Luck is extremely happy with the hiring of his former Stanford offensive coordinator, Pep Hamilton, [...]
