QB Ben Roethlisberger, SS Troy Polamalu, newly acquired CB Ty Law, and CB Champ Bailey . . . all big names that would have been prewritten into the opening paragraphs of writers all over the country, but it’s a man who wasn’t talked about leading up to this game, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ FS Tyrone Carter, that had the big numbers in silencing the Denver Broncos in the biggest match-up for Week 9, 28-10.
The SoTG and Weasel are back once again in their relentless pursuit of awesome analysis as they bring you week 9 action.
The week of the NFL Homecomings is upon us. Favre to Lanbeau and Weasel returning to the show so he and the SoTG can bring you more action!
The SoTG and special guest co-host, Punisher Line Coach Chris Rankin come together to bring you the action from Week 7
Week 6 action brought statistical weirdness of all sorts. It was the kind of stuff you'd need a professional coach to analyze. That's why the SoTG brings in Line Coach for the Florida Punishers Chris Rankin to break down this week's action.
The buzz in this Monday night Match-up was dominated by talk of the New York Jets’ defense who’ve kept opponents grounded and the SpanAm subject QB Mark Sanchez, the kid they call ‘Sanchize’, as the apparent future and present of the Gangreen franchise. And in fairness the rookie, already ordained superstar by many (me included), had a solid night managing the game throwing 12 completions in 24 attempts for 50% with 172 yards and a TD representing his ‘nation’ well during the NFL’s Hispanic Heritage Night.
Some teams are real . . . Some teams a waste of time. Your guide to the Who's Who . . . The SoTG and Weasel.
While it will not necessarily apply to all those who gaze upon this particular article, the public will be fed and mezmorized by the elements of the story pertaining to former Packer QB Brett Favre playing against his former team at the Metrodome in a Minnestoa Viking uniform for the first time in his last NFL game before he turns 40 years old and think that he was the hero of the game in the Vikings 30-23 division victory putting them at 4-0. But Favre himself was forced to show appreciation to the man who was the real factor, “[DE]Jared Allen is a beast . . . I’m glad we have ‘emâ€Â.
Imagine this: You are an NFL QB. As the leader of your team’s offense, you are asked to score more than 20 points a game, week in and week out, in order for your team to have a good chance to win the game. That may sound tough enough, but then someone says, “WAIT! -- you can only have the ball for 14:53 throughout the game . . . oh and JUST to make it interesting, you are without Anthony Gonzalez, your second-best WRâ€Â.
Upsets, Surprises and Expectations about the NFL. And the SoTG are bringing all they can for the featured teams in week 2.
I’ve seen the headlines of the ridiculous already referring to ‘Brady Magic’ (see NFL.com’s homepage within in 1 hour following the game in question), but to those of us who actually watched the game without falling for the flash emanating from New England Patriots QB Tom Brady’s Super Bowl Rings, his ‘Golden Boy’ persona, or the lights of the cameras tracking every moment of his return from injury, we would know that he wasn’t the true game changer in the 25-24 teeth-skinning victory past the Buffalo Bills.
