    OT: Week one thoughts

    The team that staggered into the playoffs last year lost Pro Bowl left tackle Brandon Albert and all purpose threat Dexter McCluster in free agency. They are offensively challenged right now and ran into a solid squad in the Titans.

    OT: Week one thoughts

    The Packers started 13-0 three years ago. Unbeatable in September often becomes beaten in January.

    OT: Week one thoughts

    After the Patriots dumped Logan Mankins I considered the Patriots to have a doughnut of an offensive line. After the second half performance today, I'm wondering if Russ Grimm is in Foxboro.

    How Reactionary are you?

    Limited game reps, long term preparation and not being in the weekly routine makes the first game a poor indicator. <--- My rationalize for dismissing a loss. It's only week one, but this is a big game. The Chargers made the playoffs. Beating them is positive reinforcement that the...

    ^ Two centerfielders, messing with the sabermetric guys. :D

    Dbacks Puds thread

    It is not unusual for guys to pick up some velocity via Tommy John surgery. Eric Gagne is the poster boy for this situation. Better than ever for a few years, but ultimately the body just can't hold up. I understand the choice of the bullpen to limit the number of pitches thrown, but...

    OT - Rams OT Greg Robinson moved to Guard, to backup Saffold

    The Rams coaching staffed screwed up. Just being a rookie in the NFL is an overwhelming experience. The Rams made Robinson learn both guard and left tackle. Now he has information overload and is riding the pine until gets a handle on things.

    OT: Ryan Mallett traded to the Texans

    Unfortunately for the Texans there was no quarterback in the draft with number one overall bonafides. Ryan Mallet has the physical tools. IIRC, he dropped to the third round over concussion concerns and his name being just about the only thing he got right on the Wonderlic.

    Kevin Towers in retrospect

    Kevin Towers has accumulated a wealth of minor league talent that is the envy of the league. Too bad it is over matched at the major league level.

    OT: Tajh Boyd

    As a collegiate, Boyd was great at times. When he became more consistent, the greatness went away.

    Thomas last night

    He looked like a guy who gets offered a spot on the practice squad because he is a known quantity. People are projecting a roster spot for him, but there is no reason to protect him. In the unlikely event that another team poaches him, the Cardinals can go get somebody better.

    What should the starting lineup be next year?

    ^ That is one hell of a scary line up to poor souls in the marketing department! If the Dodgers had a catcher who could hit they would have had a superior player in every position in the starting line ups last night.

    pAAAdres at DbAAAcks Series thread

    Nuno can't buy a win as a D'back. Perez was one pitch away from making Gibson look really good, alas it was not to be. It's easy to criticize the decision to bring a lefty in to face right handed hitters, but with Ziegler struggling there is nobody in the back end of the bullpen who can be...

    From First to Thirty First

    The Patriots lost their veteran interior defensive linemen (Tommy Kelly and Vince Wilfork) last season. Their run defense was awful for a few weeks until they made adjustments. You can't replace a great player, but you adapt and play on.

    Would that be consider photographic evidence that Gisele Bundchen is cheating on Tom Brady?

    Kevin Towers in retrospect

    The current result of the Upton trade is a bust in Delgado and prospects. In addition to Upton, the Braves also acquired a starting 3rd baseman in Chris Johnson. The Braves are competing for a playoff berth and the D'backs are years away.

    Who will win the SEC in 2014

    All you need to know about the current state of Bama football is that after Barrett Jones won the 2011 Outland Trophy as the best lineman in college football, Bama moved him to center the next year because they had Cyrus Kouandjio set to take over at left tackle.

    David Peralta is the real deal

    Strained elbow coming out of spring training. Struggled a bit in Triple A prior to the diagnosis. The D'backs shut him down for six weeks and now is back on the mound, albeit in the more pitcher friendly Southern League (Double A). Expect a September call up.

    David Peralta is the real deal

    For Tommy John surgery, the pitch again in the majors rate is 75.9%. Additionally, the majority of players who have surgery after June don't make it back for the next season. So Corbin should be in uniform sometime next year, but we've most likely seen Arroyo's last pitch in a D'backs uniform...

    Towers and LaRussa

    ^Miley is better than the current alternatives such as Bolsinger and Delgado. And as the Diamondbacks pretty much get analized on every trade, they'd be trading a pitcher who has demonstrated that he can pitch at a high level (not that he is) for the equivalent of a bucket of spit.
