There's no denying the impressive physique and workout numbers that have been posted by Ohio State defensive end/linebacker Vernon Gholston. But some league insiders are concerned that Gholston might be this year's Mike Mamula.
Mamula, you might remember, was a defensive end who rocketed up the draft board based on incredible pre-draft numbers. The Boston College product made it all the way to No. 7 in 1995, jumping past guys like Joey Galloway and Warren Sapp and Hugh Douglas and Ty Law. But Mamula was a bust as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, and he has long since been out of the league.
As to Gholston, a league source tells us Gholston simply isn't memorable when watching game film. As the thinking goes, if he were a dominant player at the college level, he would be showing up in the thick of things on a continuous basis. Per the source, he simply doesn't.
We've recently heard that the Raiders could be targeting Gholston with the No. 4 overa...

Well the big difference is that Mamula was probably one of the few players that actually prepared for the combine like a crazy person. I don't think it was viewed in the same light as it is nowadays. So players really didn't prepare for the combine as hard. It paid off for Mamula in the end (where he was drafted) and he wasn't exactly a BUST. He was a decent player with sky high expectations.

Blueprint for the Oakland Raiders defensive offseason moves
I would like to start off my opinion piece of the Oakland Raiders defense with what I think of Rob Ryan. Do I think there should be a change in defensive philosophy. Absolutely. Do I think there should be at coordinator? Maybe. Why not? It's pretty simple, Rob Ryan is NOT running Rob Ryan's defense. Rob Ryan is running the archaic Al Davis defense. You think Ryan only wants...

Pats interested in LB Spikes
According to the rumor section of Sports Illustrated, the Patriots are one of four teams interested in LB Takeo Spikes.

However, if this rumor is true, Belichick must feel that...
