Every year there is huge drama over who will win the NFL’s most coveted individual award. Some people think that the MVP award should go to the single best player in the league, while others argue that it should go to the most important player to their individual football team. There are arguments for both, but by and large the award goes to the best player in the league each year. Who is leading the MVP balloting this season? Lets take a look at a few contenders to the prize:
Who is Leading the NFL MVP Race?
The Greatest Running Backs In NFL History
Throughout NFL history, the position of running back has been one of the most important. A great running back can carry a team in spurts. The reason running backs are so vital to success is because they can touch the football in so many ways. They can receive the ball via handoff, through a pass or even throw a pass themselves on occasion. Here is a look at some of the greatest running backs in NFL history, along with what made them special:
Who is the Best Team in the NFL so Far?
The NFL football season is a very long process. The playing field during week six is rarely the same when the end of the season comes along. Teams will rise and fall like the stock market. Still, there are a handful of teams that are virtual locks to be in the playoffs at the end of the season and a couple that seem to be standing head and shoulders above the rest. Through six weeks of NFL football action, who is the looking like the most likely bet for the Super Bowl?
What is Wrong With DeAngelo Williams?
DeAngelo Williams burst onto the NFL fantasy football scene last year with a season that put him in some pretty impressive company. The list of running backs that have scored twenty plus touchdowns in one season is fairly short. In 2009, DeAngelo Williams has found the road a bit harder, however, and many fantasy football owners are starting to panic. What is wrong with this powder keg of a running back?
Matt Ryan Versus Joe Flacco - Who Is Better?
It is not very often that you have an NFL quarterback come into the league and see success in their rookie year. It is even more rare that you have a rookie quarterback start for their respective teams on opening day and start the whole season. It is a miracle when you have this happen to two young quarterbacks in the same season. Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan performed just that in 2008, and are now performing even better in 2009. Which of these two young quarterbacks is the best?
Beating the Blitz in Football
The blitz is one of the biggest weapons that football defenses have at their disposal. The reason the blitz is so effective is because it gives the offense more attackers than they can handle. The key to beating the blitz is really in the preparation and recognition. If you see the blitz coming, it is much easier to beat it. For this reason you must have good coaching and a quarterback that knows how to manage an offense. There are a few different ways to beat a blitz, and here are several of the more effective ones:
Panthers and Cowboys Face Must Win On Monday Night Football
In the world of NFL football it is uncommon to consider any game played in September to be a must win. The Carolina Panthers have painted themselves into quite the corner to start the season. In week one NFL action, the Panthers laid a horrible rotten egg against the powerful Philadelphia Eagles. This game was eerily reminiscent of the Jake Delhomme massacre in the 2008 NFC playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals. To Jake Delhomme’s credit, he did rebound during week two against NFC South powerhouse Atlanta. In spite of a much better game the Panthers still came away with a loss.
What is Wrong with Jake Delhomme?
Trying to figure out why any NFL quarterback is struggling is tough to do, but in the case of Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme it is downright absurd. Here is a quarterback that has everything going for him as far as players and organization. Yet still, he has turned the ball over eleven times over the course of two games dating back to the 08 season.
NFL Season Set To Kick Off - Are You Ready?
The 2009 NFL football season is upon us and it almost seems impossible. Was it really that long ago that the Arizona Cardinals gave the Pittsburgh Steelers all they can handle in the Super Bowl? More importantly, what are the burning questions that are being asked in NFL football circles? Here are some of the hottest NFL questions that are about to be answered, along with some predictions as to how they might turn out.
Panther’s Injuries Starting To Pile Up
The Carolina Panther were all set to be a powerhouse in the NFC South this season. They had all the pieces in place, and a clear cut goal - a Super Bowl Championship. While those are lofty goals for many teams, it is not really outside the realm of possibility for the Panthers. They have the best running game in the NFL with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, and they have one of the premiere wide receivers in the game in Steve Smith. Even the defense was looking up with Julius Peppers not leaving as planned. Then came the pre-season injury bug.
