Yesterday, we saw that Brian Urlacher was the only Bears player to get featured on ESPN's All-Decade Defense. Today, they have released their All-Decade Offense. Before I clicked their article , I tried to see how many Chicago players could make the list, and I came up with the only name that ESPN did. Center, Olin Kreutz : This was a three-way toss-up between Kreutz, Kevin Mawae and Matt Birk . All...

Baltimore Beatdown (Free subscription) | 05/27/2009
The Sporting News' Real Scouts has rated the top players at each position, and at inside linebacker, the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis gets the #4 ranking, which is probably amazing for most 34 year old linebackers, but I'm not satisfied with that "honor." The top three above Ray are, in order, Chicago's Brian Uhrlacher, SF's Patrick Willis and Arizona's Karlos Dansby. Now I've always felt...

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Vikings this offseason is “how in the heck do you fill the shoes of a guy like Matt Birk?” Birk is a career-long Vikings who will play 2009 with another team (ravens) for the first time since he joined the NFL. He was an incredible mainstay in the middle [...]

Phil Loadholt (OT), Oklahoma 6'8", 330 The left side of the Vikings OL is as good as it gets with the combination of Steve Hutchinson and Bryant McKinnie. The team lost the anchor of the line when Matt Birk left for Baltimore, but feel that John Sullivan can step in at center and produce. That leaves the right side of the line, which was below average last year. With that in mind, the Vikings...

The Vikings have let two former pro-bowl players sign with other teams via free agency this offseason. Also, they have done minimal in the way of signing free agents so far this offseason.

Stats on Jake Grove Good post at the Sun-Sentine l today. Here are some numbers on Jake Grove courtesy of ESPN's KC Joyner: Grove's Point-of-attack winning percentage: 90.6% Yards per rush behind Grove: 6.2 Went one-on-one with defender: 67.5% of the time - more than Matt Birk (39.9%) and Jason Brown (60.3%). That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling!

In a move that had been rumored for a while, New Orleans signed former Packer Pro Bowl FS Darren Sharper: Anyways, seeing Sharper leave brings up a lot of the feelings I had when Matt Birk left a couple weeks ago . It was fairly obvious that Sharper was bound to leave us after the 2008 season, but I still held onto the hope that he might stick around...So Darren, just like I had to tell Matt a couple...

But he doesn't begrudge his buddy's decision to leave Minnesota and sign with Baltimore. It's the business side of the NFL, of course, one that Hutchinson himself experienced to the fullest with his own departure from Seattle three years ago. And as the Vikings' new union rep, Hutchinson is more attuned to that side of the game than ever. The All-Pro left guard is replacing safety Darren Sharper, now...
