NFL Week 9 Awards Watch

Found October 29, 2008 on NFHell:
PLAYERS: Chris Johnson,  Sean Jackson,  Donnie Avery,  Matt Ryan
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Dallas Cowboys,  Washington Redskins,  New York Giants,  Carolina Panthers,  Tampa Bay Buccaneers,  Atlanta Falcons,  New Orleans Saints,  St. Louis Rams,  Seattle Seahawks,  Arizona Cardinals,  San Francisco 49ers,  Minnesota Vikings,  Green Bay Packers,  Detroit Lions,  Chicago Bears,  New England Patriots,  Buffalo Bills,  New York Jets,  Miami Dolphins,  Indianapolis Colts,  Houston Texans,  Tennessee Titans,  Jacksonville Jaguars,  Denver Broncos,  Cleveland Browns,  Baltimore Ravens,  Cincinnati Bengals,  Pittsburgh Steelers,  San Diego Chargers,  Kansas City Chiefs,  Oakland Raiders

This is the weekly awards watch. These are the leading contenders for each of the major awards, as well as runners-up. Offensive Rookie of the Year 1. Chris Johnson, RB, Tennessee Titans - Was in danger of posting a weak game before ripping off the sixteen yard touchdown to seal the game. 2. DeSean Jackson, WR, Philadelphia Eagles - His ranking stays intact this week, but if Donnie Avery continues to produce as he has for the last three weeks, he could push Jackson for top rookie receiver billing. 3. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons - Managed to stay confident in the face of Philly's confusing pass rush and deep secondary. Check out the full article at the URL below.

Rookie Pranks, etc.

Via OvieMughelli's Blog  |  August 16, 2008
What's up Yardbarkers? I've been gone for a while, but play time is over, and I'm a firm believer in working hard, so that's what I've been doing. In the off-season, I had a lot of fun traveling to NYC, Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, Vegas, LA, etc... and I'm tired. I'm glad that football season is starting because it gives me a chance to stay in one...

Contract Updates on DeSean Jackson and Trevor Laws

Via Bleed Eagles Green  |  July 13, 2008
With the start of training camp now only about a week away, what is the status of contract negotiations with DeSean Jackson and Trevor Laws? It has been difficult to find update on the negotiations, but have no fear Dave Spadaro is here with an update: Still no word on contract discussions between the Eagles and unsigned draft picks Trevor Laws and DeSean Jackson, but the team...

Derek Anderson to Miami for #1 pick?

Via Phin Phanatic  |  February 11, 2008
Despite Derek Anderson's terrible performance in yesterday's meaningless Pro Bowl, there is buzz that he may be headed to Miami for the #1 overall selection. Does anyone think that Anderson's agent is wishing he would have steered clear of Honolulu the same way many prospects steer clear of the NFL Combine? If you perform well in the Pro Bowl, you've got nothing to...

Titans RB Chris Johnson To Be Fined By The NFL?

Via GridironFans.com  |  October 19, 2008
Chris Johnson had plenty of reasons to celebrate during today's 34-10 win against the Chiefs, the running back continued his excellent rookie season with 168 yards and capped his performance with a 66-yard touchdown run. Feeling joyous, Johnson decided to take advantage of a set of bongo drums placed right near the field and he'll certainly get fined by the NFL gestapo for his exuberance...

Bills RB Marshawn Lynch Can't Wear Throwback Helmet To Pro Bowl

Via GridironFans.com  |  January 30, 2009
Bills RB Marshawn Lynch, who was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster Thursday to replace Titans RB Chris Johnson, had mentioned to Buffalo's equipment staff that if he somehow made it out to Hawaii this year forthe Pro Bowl, that he wanted them to pack his white standing buffalo helmet. But I've confirmed with the Bills equipment staff that they had to send the regular red Bills...

2008 NFL Mock Draft (Picks 6-10)

Via NFLGuru.net  |  April 25, 2008
(6) New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB Ohio State The Jets would love to get either Matt Ryan or McFadden with this pick but they'll have no problem settling for one of the best defensive prospects in this draft, Vernon Gholston. With all the talent Gholston has, it won't take long before he's ...

Finally the Draft is here

Via DarrenMcFadden's Blog  |  April 25, 2008
What's up, Yardbarkers? Just wanted to check in with the Yard on the night before the Draft. It's been a big week out here in the Big Apple, not just for me but also for Glenn Dorsey, Matt Ryan, Vernon Gholston, Chris Long and of course #1 pick Jake Long (congratulations, man). I've been loving New York and the whole Draft experience. I came out a couple days before the...

Born Loser's Guaranteed Locks for Week 15

Via The Church Of Schwartz  |  December 11, 2008
Tampa Bay (+3) vs. Atlanta What a game this is going to be. Matt Ryan has had one of the best rookie seasons ever for a QB but he'll really be tested by Derrick Brooks and the stout Tampa Bay D this week. Something tells me Brooks has been watching film of this guy since he [...]

Eagles won't sign troubled receiver Adarius Bowman

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  May 01, 2008
Hey guys, I know this has been posted already but here are my thoughts on the situation............. The Philly faithful are salivating so badly for a receiver, they'll jump on any rumor that involves bringing one to the Eagles. Rumors about Adarius Bowman, a wide receiver from Oklahoma State who went undrafted last weekend, signing with the Eagles have been flying for the...

4th Round Pick Burton to Make a Big Impact This Season?

Via Rams Gab  |  July 08, 2008
From: Pro Football Weekly Although Rams second-round rookie Donnie Avery, who was the highest-selected receiver in the 2008 draft, has received more attention from the media, we hear the team's fourth-round pick, WR Keenan Burton, could end up making just as big an impact as Avery, if not bigger. The word is both Avery and Burton showed a lot of energy in the Rams' OTAs and...

Paying The Price: The NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Via The Sports Agent Blog  |  July 06, 2008
In March 2006, NFL Owners voted almost unanimously, 30-2, to accept the NFLPA's final proposal to extend its collective bargaining agreement (CBA). On May 20, 2008, NFL Owners unanimously voted to opt of that same agreement, meaning the current collective bargaining agreement will expire in 2011 instead of 2013. Now, many questions linger about the future of the league and what...

Video: Eagles-Patriots Week 3 Preseason Highlights

Via All Philadelphia Sports  |  August 25, 2008
We're in the final days of summer and I've been spending it down at the beach, which is why there hasn't been too much posted lately.  I'm sure a few of you missed the preseason game against the Patriots, but here are the highlights.  Our special teams woes look like they've ended.  In this game we not only had a kickoff return from Quitin Demps (who gave the kicker a serious...

Monday Night Football Reaction

Via The Pass Rush  |  September 09, 2008
The first game went as planned with the Packers win, so that was 2 units under my belt. Despite leaving 10 points off the board (a 70+ yard TD by Donald Driver that was called back due to a dumb penalty and a blocked FG), they still came out with the win. What a regular season debut from Aaron Rodgers. The guy has a canon for an arm. The Packer's front office made the right...
