David Wilson could be a stud this year for the New York Giants, as long as he doesn’t fumble. Tom Coughlin hates fumbles. In fact you could even call Coughlin hebephobic (the fear of teenagers or puberty) because you are dead to him as soon as you drop a ball.
Last season the Dallas Cowboys finally got the production they were expecting from Dez Bryant after essentially putting him under 24 hour surveillance by what amounts to an adult babysitter. After seeing this successful change in Bryant due to somewhat alternative methods, Jerry Jones has started seeing a Buddhist monk who is attempting to teach Jones that he cannot fix all of the Cowboys problems with money. Also, Tony Romo and the greater Dallas metropolitan area have started to see a couples counselor.
We know Chip Kelly’s philosophy will be to get off a play every 20 seconds. If he can properly harness the talent of Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, and DeSean Jackson, the Philadelphia Eagles could have the most explosives offense in the NFL. However, either explosive or dismal, the Eagles defense is sure to get less rest than Paula Dean’s publicist with sleep apnea. A great formula for winning in the NFL is controlling both sides of the ball. A great formula for losing in the NFL is an exhausted defense in the fourth quarter.
There was a proposal this off season to change the name from the Washington Redskins to the Redtails. There have been several pushes to change the Redskins name from the derogatory term for Native Americans over the years, but this one caught my attention. The switch would have worked because it keeps Red in the name, and has the same number of syllables as Redskins. Personally, I am glad the name change fell through so we can avoid offending any of the Tuskegee Airmen by naming Washington’s team after a terrible movie about them.
