  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.

  • Bears Name Mel Tucker Defensive Coordinator
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, January 18, 2013 BEARS NAME MEL TUCKER DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR LAKE FOREST, IL – The Chicago Bears reached an agreement with Mel Tucker today, making him their defensive coordinator. Tucker brings 16 years of defensive coaching experience to the Bears including the last four as the Jaguars defensive coordinator, adding the title of assistant head coach in 2012. During the 2011 season, Tucker spent the final five games as interim head coach of the Jaguars. Over the course of that season, the Jaguars were sixth in the NFL in total defense (313.0 yards per game) up from 28th in 2010 (371.8). The 313.0 yards per game were the fewest allowed by Jacksonville’s defense since 2006. In 2011, they also ranked eighth in passing defense (208.8 yards per game), ninth in rushing defense (104.2), allowed the second fewest completions of 20-plus yards (43), forced the second most three-and-out drives (57) and were third in first downs allowed (268) and plays of 20-plus yards allowed (51). Prior to his time in Jacksonville, Tucker spent four years with the Cleveland Browns (2005-08), serving as the defensive back coach for the first three seasons before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2008. During those four seasons, the Browns were fifth in the NFL with 73 interceptions and seventh in gross passing yards allowed (212.8). They also allowed the fourth-fewest completions of 25-plus yards (78). As defensive coordinator in 2008, Cleveland was tied for third in the NFL with 31 takeaways and second in the league with 23 interceptions.

  • Michigan State Fans Embraced Former Ohio State Coordinators Luke Fickell, Mel Tucker in Hiring Process, According to MSU Publisher
    Michigan State Fans Embraced Former Ohio State Coordinators Luke Fickell, Mel Tucker In Hiring Process, According To MSU Publisher On Feb. 4, Mark Dantonio stepped down as Michigan State head coach after 13 seasons with the job, ending his tenure with the most wins by a head coach (114) in program history. With his departure came immediate rumors that the top candidate would be Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell, who worked as a special teams coach with Dantonio, who was defensive coordinator at Ohio State in 2002 and 2003. Fickell continued to be a member of the Ohio State coaching staff until taking the Cincinnati job in 2017, becoming linebackers coach for the Buckeyes in 2004, then adding a co-defensive coordinator tag from 2005-10 before taking the interim head coaching job in 2011 following the departure of Jim Tressel. After a 6-7 head coaching stint, Fickell went back to his previous position as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for the next five seasons. Eventually, Fickell announced he was turning down the position, and the eventual hire went to Mel Tucker, who was coming off a 5-7 season in his first year as Colorado’s head coach. Tucker also has ties back to the Buckeyes, working under Dantonio as Ohio State defensive backs coach from 2001-03. Tucker, who was promoted to co-defensive coordinator, left Ohio State in 2005 for an NFL job as the defensive backs coach for the Cleveland Browns. With all the ties back to Columbus in one way or another, Buckeye Sports Bulletin reached out to Jim Comparoni, the publisher of SpartanMag.com, Michigan State’s website in the Rivals network.
