22 Jan 11 Big East Takes Giant Misstep with Villanova Invite
Villanova's most famous football product - Brian WestbrookJim McIsaac/Getty ImagesIn the 1960s and 70s, Bill Shankly was a manager who made a habit of taking downtrodden teams from the various European football leagues in England, and turning them into winners. He would seize the cast offs, has beens, and never weres, and turn teams on the brink of collapse into respected champions. You may be asking yourself what this has to do with college football in 2010, and your curiosity would be understandable. Along with being a great motivator and coach, however, Kansas City Chiefs jersey
Mr. Shankly was also an oft quoted sports figure. One pearl in particular seemed quite relevant to todaytopic. Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, itmuch more serious than that. Such is the case with the Big East football conference in 2010. Sure, they may have come through the recent spate of conference realignments unscathed, but is that necessarily a good thing? Perhaps it is more of an indication of what the Big East does not offer, as opposed to a reaffirmation of what an intact Big East does offer the college football world. Maybe the Big 10s, ACCs and SECs of the college football landscape see the Big East as a league on its last breathe, and donparticularly feel in a generous enough mood to throw a life vest to the potential survivors. Why else would the dust have settled so quickly on realignment this past summer with no Big East school getting more than a sniff of interest from the bigger boys on the playground? We all remember breaking a lamp in the living room after Mom had told us time and again to take the football outside. We also remember thinking that maybe no one would notice if we cleaned up the evidence before Dad got home, and everything would blow over in a few days, neither parent ever even remembering that they used to be able to read the paper by the light of the lamp that used to grace the end table next to their favorite chair. The Big East tried that same approach during August media days. Stuff all the sports writers with lobster and clams, sing a few songs around the bon fire on Miami Dolphins jersey
the beach in Newport, Rhode Island, and hope that the impending start to the season will focus everyoneattention elsewhere for awhile. The problem is, they couldnsit still. Just like we did after breaking that lamp, the Big East got a little stir crazy. Two days after sweeping up the mess, after Dad looked around the room with a perplexed look on his face, not being able to pinpoint what was different, and then retreating to a seat on the other side of the room to read the paper, we got nervous. So we started shifting around the furniture, maybe bringing down a lamp from the attic that didnquite match the dcor. Thatwhen it happened. Busted! The Big East brought something old and dusty down from the attic as well. An invitation for Villanova to join the other, still nervous, Big East football members. Why couldnthey leave well enough alone? The college football world had put expansion, realignment and conference destruction on the back burner for awhile. The talk around the water cooler has been of Michiganresurgence behind a kid who doesnlike to tie his shoes, and the Notre Dame haters have reveled in the Irish back to back losses to two old rivals from the wolverine state. And the Big East felt compelled to re-invite Villanova to join the league as a football member. Which is more embarrassing? The Big East pinning its hope for survival on the admission of an FCS team, or Villanova answering, Yes, we heard you the first time you asked. Just like George Costanza telling his soon to be ex-girlfriend I love you, and getting a similar reply to the one received byMinnesota Vikings
the Big East; thata pretty big matzo ball hanging out there. It is a move which smacks of desperation, and has got to leave the Big 10, and others, shaking their heads and realizing they made the right choice by leaving all the rats on a sinking ship. My advice to the Big East is quite simple. Focus on putting a better product on the football field. Do not allow a private FCS school from suburban Philadelphia to hold your football future dangling over the smoldering embers of Augusts clam bake. And, most importantly; the best way to leave the kidtable, and be invited to dine with the big folks is to act like one of them.

18 Jan 11 West Virginia Football: Bill Stewart Leads Mountaineers Into Death Valley
Finally, the months of anticipation are over, and West Virginia University will face Louisiana State University on Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Kick-off is set for prime time, 9pm, and will be televised by ESPN2 to a national audience. The stage does not get much bigger than this, early in the season. Both Bill Stewart of Reebok Dallas Cowboys #9 Tony Romo Realtree camo Jersey
WVU and Les Miles of LSU entered the 2010 season needing wins to quiet dissension in their fan bases. Stewart replaced the highly successful Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguezpopularity while at WVU was off the scale. The contempt Rodriguez endured after his departure from WVU, is a direct correlation to his popularity. Miles replaced Nick Saban, who, like Rodriguez, was highly successful and well liked by the LSU faithful. Both Rodriguez and Saban left their respective schools for more lucrative offers from other teams. Rodriguez went to Michigan, and Saban went to the Miami Dolphins. Unlike Stewart, Miles has won a national title in his tenure at LSU, defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes to win the national title following the 2007 season. The irony is had Rodriguez 2007 WVU team beaten Pitt on December 1, WVU, not LSU, would have faced off against OSU for the national title.Though Miles actually won the national title, many LSU fans still gave credit to Saban. The team Miles coached to the title game was stocked primarily with players that Saban had recruited. It is worth mentioning that Stewart has recruited very well since he was hired at WVU. It is well documented that Stewart has signed the two highest rated back-to-back recruiting classes in WVUhistory. Still, Miles has out done Stewart on the recruiting trail; LSU signed decidedly higher ranked classes than WVU. Both WVU and LSU field strong defenses in 2010. The LSU defense enters the game ranked fifth in scoring defense giving up 11.5 points per game. The WVU defense enters the game ranked ninth in scoring defense giving up 12.7 points per game. The Tigers hold the edge on defense; suffice to say that both are stout. Jeff Casteel of WVU and John Chavis of LSU are the defensive coordinators for their teams. Chavis employs a conventional 4-3 alignment for his defense. Casteel employs an unconventional odd stack 3-3-5. Casteelalignment often confuses quarterbacks from opposing teams that rarely see the formation. Casteel is a master of disguising his intentions through alignment.Both Jeff Mullen of WVU and Gary Crouton of LSU have felt the sting of disapproval from their respective fans. Mullen and Crouton are the offensive coordinators for their teams. Offensively, both the Mountaineers and the Tigers are tied at 61st for scoring offense with an average of 28.7 points per game. How they reach that average is completely different. Jordan Jeffersons, LSUstarting quarterback, stat line reads 33 completions on 57 attempts for 344 yards and two touchdowns, Reebok Denver Broncos #15 Tim Tebow Realtree camo Jersey
with a completion percentage of 57.9. Jeffersonquarterback rating through three games is 113.1. The Tigers like to run the football in 2010; LSU has run for 609 yards so far. Stevan Ridley is their top rusher with 55 carries for 318 yards and two touchdowns; Ridley averages 5.8 yards per carry on the season. Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith boasts the following stat line71 completions on 101 attempts for 800 yards with seven touchdowns and a 70.2 percent completion percentage. Smithquarterback rating through three games is 157.7. With Smith as the starter, the Mountaineers are a passing team. The Mountaineers also like to run the football in 2010. WVU has run for 544 yards so far. Noel Devine is their leading rusher with 73 carries for 354 yards and two touchdowns. Devine averages 4.8 yards per carry.Devine also represents the active leading rusher in the FBS. Devine has a propensity for performing his best on the biggest of stages. Devine will have to continue that trend for WVU to come out of Louisiana with a victory. To obscure the debate, both teams offensive strengths compete directly with the opposing teams defensive strengths. LSU fields the best defensive secondary that WVU may see all year. The Tigers can match WVUspeed at receiver, and both corners are good in man-to-man coverage. The WVU defense may not be the best the Tigers will face this year, they are stout against the run. LSU will be surprised at the speed the Mountaineer defense possesses. Team speed may be an edge for WVU, not that the Mountaineers are faster than LSU, the Tigers may not respect the speed that exists on the Mountaineer roster. Coming into the 2010 season WVU had been horrid on kick-off coverage the past two seasons. Stewart addressed the situation in the offseason with a complete realignment of the special teams coaches. In essence, Stewart replaced himself as special teams coach and distributed the responsibilities throughout his staff. The plan has worked to date. What was once an Achilles heel is now astrength. These two teams are more evenly matched than it might first appear. As with any game against evenly matched opponents, the game will go to the team that wins the turnover battle.In their past two games, WVU has not protected the ball as well as expected. The Mountaineers are currently minus-four in turnover margin on the season. WVU must win the turnover battle to have a chance in Death Valley. Further, for WVU to pull the upset in Baton Rouge, the offensive line must control the line of Reebok Green Bay Packers #12 Aaron Rodgers Realtree camo Jersey
scrimmage. The offensive line must provide Devine holes to run through and Smith time to throw the football. On the other side of the ball, WVUdefensive line must also control the LSU offensive line. The Mountaineers must shut down the LSU running game and force Jefferson to beat them with his arm. Noel Devine and Jock Sanders returned for their senior season at WVU. They did not return to lose at LSU. LSU opponents are 1-25 in their last 26 night games in Death Valley. Bill Stewart has a motto, Respect everyone, fear none. As Stewart and company will enter Death Valley Saturday night, the LSU faithful see another victim for the slaughter.Tiger fans will quickly learn that Mountaineers do not go down without a fight.

15 Jan 11 New Orleans Saints Tommy Polley Colby Bockwoldt Baltimore Ravens Scott Fujita
It seems like a reasonable question to ask of the New Orleans Saints' player personnel people: Gee, guys, how come you didn't draft a linebacker back in April?Because the Saints already had a lot of proven talent at that position?Wrong answer.Weakside linebacker Colby Bockwoldt did start all 16 games last season and Indianapolis Colts jersey
seems to be improving with age. Free agent pickup Scott Fujita (who spends a lot of time explaining to reporters that he's not Japanese) was a solid performer for the Dallas Cowboys last season, where his position coach was new Saints' defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs.After that, though, it gets ugly. Two of the team's best linebackers in 2005, Ronald McKinnon and T.J. Slaughter, took a hike as free agents. James Allen, who was just beginning to blossom into an everyday player, tore up his knee in pre-season condition drills and is lost for the upcoming season.Courtney Watson, a Notre Dame product for whom the Saints had high hopes, didn't fit into Gibbs' defensive schemes and was traded to the Miami Dolphins for Eddie Moore, a linebacker New Orleans thought would be a better fit. Problem was, Moore failed his physical, so Watson came back -- only to be told by head coach Sean Payton to skip the rest of pre-season drills and spend his time trying to find another team that wants him.Let's see. That leaves ...Alfred Fincher, a second-year man out of Connecticut who was atop the depth chart at middle backer when June began, played in seven games last season and made eight tackles.Anthony Simmons, signed during the off-season as an outside linebacker, didn't play at all, nursing a wrist injury and Jacksonville Jaguars jersey
an acrimonious divorce from the Seattle Seahawks.Jay Foreman, a more recent free agent pickup, didn't play in 2005, either, after being released by the Houston Texans.And then there are three undrafted rookies.Is it too late to trade for Brian Urlacher?Well, yes. But the New Orleans Saints did grab a possible life preserver on June 2 when they signed Tommy Polley away from the Baltimore Ravens. The former Florida State star had 95 tackles and four sacks for the Baltimore Ravens, filling in for the injured Ray Lewis for part of the season.Apparently, the Ravens were concerned about Polley's toughness -- which seems odd, since he was runner-up for the Brian Piccolo Most Courageous Player Award as a Seminole senior. Tough or not, though, Polley has good speed and the ability to slide up and down the line of scrimmage Kansas City Chiefs jersey
while also participating in a meaningful way in pass coverage. As a second-year man with the St. Louis Rams, he tied for the lead with four interceptions.Right now, then, it looks as though Polley will have to play himself out of starting in the middle, and he'll be flanked by Bockwoldt and either Fujita or Simmons. Maybe they shouldn't burn their bridges with Courtney Watson quite yet.Get more New Orleans Saints insight

Two of the team's best linebackers in 2005, Ronald McKinnon and T.J. Slaughter, took a hike as free agents. James Allen, who was just beginning to blossom into an everyday player, tore up his knee in pre-season condition drills and is lost for the upcoming season.Courtney Watson, a Notre Dame product for whom the Saints had high hopes, didn't fit into Gibbs' defensive schemes and was traded to the Miami Dolphins for Eddie Moore, a linebacker New Orleans thought would be a better fit. Problem was, Moore failed his physical, so Watson came back -- only to be told by head coach Sean Payton to skip the rest of pre-season drills and spend his time trying to find another team that wants him.Let's see. That leaves ...Alfred Fincher, a second-year man out of Connecticut who was atop the depth chart at middle backer when June began, played in seven games last season and made eight tackles.Anthony Simmons, signed during the off-season as an outside linebacker, didn't play at all, nursing a wrist injury and Jacksonville Jaguars jersey
an acrimonious divorce from the Seattle Seahawks.Jay Foreman, a more recent free agent pickup, didn't play in 2005, either, after being released by the Houston Texans.And then there are three undrafted rookies.Is it too late to trade for Brian Urlacher?Well, yes. But the New Orleans Saints did grab a possible life preserver on June 2 when they signed Tommy Polley away from the Baltimore Ravens. The former Florida State star had 95 tackles and four sacks for the Baltimore Ravens, filling in for the injured Ray Lewis for part of the season.Apparently, the Ravens were concerned about Polley's toughness -- which seems odd, since he was runner-up for the Brian Piccolo Most Courageous Player Award as a Seminole senior. Tough or not, though, Polley has good speed and the ability to slide up and down the line of scrimmage Kansas City Chiefs jersey
while also participating in a meaningful way in pass coverage. As a second-year man with the St. Louis Rams, he tied for the lead with four interceptions.Right now, then, it looks as though Polley will have to play himself out of starting in the middle, and he'll be flanked by Bockwoldt and either Fujita or Simmons. Maybe they shouldn't burn their bridges with Courtney Watson quite yet.Get more New Orleans Saints insight

14 Jan 11 Carolina Panthers "Not just a Houston problem: David Carr has broken down again"
It happened in Houston, and it already has happened in Carolina. David Carr has lost his confidence. Six years of nothing but beatings and boos will do that to a quarterback. In Houston, which took Carr No.1 overall in the 2002 draft (the first pick in franchise history), he never had much help Dallas Cowboys jersey
from his offensive line. And that's being kind. Carr was the most-sacked QB in the NFL during his five years as the Texans' quarterback; he was dropped 249 times, including a league-record 76 in his rookie season.He hasn't fared much better in his first year in Carolina, where he has been sacked 13 times in six games. He took over when Jake Delhomme suffered a season-ending elbow injury, and Carr has not played well. He has three touchdowns and five interceptions, with a 53.7 completion percentage and a passer rating of 58.3. Those numbers are the worst since his rookie year.A contributing factor in his struggles is the fact that Carr also hasn't been able to stay healthy. A back injury caused him to miss one game, and he sat out two more with a concussion after he was sacked seven times by the Tennessee Titans.Carr returned in Week 12 against New Orleans and had another bad outing (45.5 percent completed, no touchdowns, two interceptions) and was demoted to third string for last week's game. Despite all of Carr's struggles, however, coach Denver Broncos jersey
John Fox told reporters he still has faith in Carr and thinks the 28-year-old quarterback could have a future in Carolina."I still have confidence in David Carr," Fox said of the QB, who is signed through next season. "I still think he has things to offer. I don't think it's gone as well for him, or for us, as we all expected. That doesn't mean that it won't move forward either."Fox said he made Carr the emergency quarterback -- behind Vinny Testaverde and rookie Matt Moore -- at home against San Francisco last Sunday because he didn't want to risk making Carr once again endure the wrath of the home fans. "I don't know if I wanted to expose him here at home," Fox said. "We'll kind of weigh that as we move forward. Anytime you don't have success it has an effect on you mentally."Whether Fox does indeed Detroit Lions
have faith and confidence in Carr will be proven in the offseason, when the Panthers decide what they are going to do at a quarterback position that will be full of questions.And if Fox does decide to keep Carr, he's going to have to figure out how to restore the quarterback's confidence. Because Carr has lost it again, just as he did in Houston.
