  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Seattle Seahawks at Miami Dolphins Hard Rock Stadium Oct
    SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT MIAMI DOLPHINS HARD ROCK STADIUM OCT. 4, 2020 | 1 PM POSTGAME NOTES PARKER MOVES INTO NINTH PLACE IN ALL- TIME RECEIVING YARDS • WR DeVante Parker posted his first 100-yard game of the season today, totaling 10 receptions for 110 yards (11.0 avg.). It’s the ninth 100-yard game of Parker’s career, which is tied for eighth in Dolphins history. • Parker finished today’s game with 259 career receptions for 3,698 yards (14.3 avg.). His 3,698 yards move him past RB Tony Nathan (3,592) for ninth place in team history in all-time receiving yards. Parker is 340 yards shy of WR Jarvis Landry (4,038) for eighth place. • Parker’s 10 receptions were a career high. The last Dolphins player to catch 10+ passes in a game was Landry (10) on Dec. 17, 2017 at Buffalo. • Parker recorded the 250th reception of his career in the first quarter of today’s game. • At the end of today’s 1 p.m. games, Parker led all NFL players with 1,280 receiving yards dating back to Week 7 of the 2019 season, which encompasses 16 games. If those 16 games were its own season, Parker’s 1,280 receiving yards would be the fourth-best mark in a single season in Dolphins history. HOWARD TAKES NFL LEAD IN INTERCEPTIONS SINCE DECEMBER 2017 • CB Xavien Howard picked off Seahawks QB Russell Wilson in the end zone with 5:04 remaining in the third quarter.

What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be.
