NFCE Position Rankings – Cornerbacks

     900 506 Sir Squatch
    By:

    By Joey Esquire CORNERBACKS Top to bottom, this is probably one of the weaker position groups in the division, and there is only one team that can really call its cornerbacks a strength for 2017. The draft was a strong class for CBs and the other three teams did take advantage, so we could see…

    By: PenguinFarmer In my short time on this ostensibly warming planet, I have never seen such vitriol from feuding political opinions. However, on the day of our great nation’s Independence Day, I think it is best to get political to—paradoxically—unite all of us together against a common foe. For those who toked too much through…

      Well it is that boring ass time in the middle of the offseason. Minicamps start in a few weeks, but until then there is nothing football related, so we have to listen to conversations about baseball, politics, and feet. Time to change that. I’ll be heading on vacation for a few weeks, but I…

    NFCE Position Ranking – Off-Ball Linebackers

    By:

    OFF-BALL LINEBACKERS By Joey Esquire Leaguewide, teams played with 3+ receivers about 65% of plays in 2016, and as a result most teams now play from nickel as a de facto base defense. In the NFCE, no team had three linebackers play more than 50% of snaps, and only the Giants had more than two…

    NFCE Position Ranking – Edge Rushers

    By:

    EDGE DEFENDERS By Joey Esquire This is by far the toughest position group to pigeonhole into a 1-4 ranking. All four teams in the division have some things they do well, but some glaring weaknesses heading into 2017. The gap between the top three teams is razor thin, and frankly one of them outperforming the…

    2017 Seattle Seahawks Game Predictions

     640 430 Oliver James
    By:

    We conclude the NFC West week of predictions with the reigning division champs, the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have an easier schedule in 2017, but their locker room is a mess and their offensive line is only marginally better. Overall, they should be about the same as they have been the last 2 seasons, which…

    By:

    Today we continue the game by game predictions for the NFC West, this time with the San Francisco 49ers The 49ers were an abomination in 2016, finishing Rams-14 and having the leagues worst defense. Their defense should improve via their draft picks, but they still have major question marks on offense. I don’t see anything…

    NFCE Position Ranking – Interior D Line

     906 500 Sir Squatch
    By:

    INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINE I am splitting up the front seven into three categories: Interior Defensive Line, Edge Defenders, and Off-Ball Linebackers. DL is a little easier to quantify statistically than OL, but just like with OL I’m going to use some innovative stats to try and add a quantitative component to this writeup. They include…
