The Pittsburgh Steelers, who alternated quarterbacks three times throughout the season, finished with ten victories and a postseason berth. While being a one-and-done in the postseason may not seem like much, this club with that offence was not anticipated to do much. It’s a little surprising to hear that the Steelers won’t likely look for another experienced quarterback who may contend for the starting job in the upcoming season, given the difficulties at the position in 2023. Ben Roethlisberger’s replacement, Kenny Pickett, was selected in the draft, but things haven’t gone as smoothly as head coach Mike Tomlin and the…
Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill were excellent at centre defence against Manchester City on Saturday. Against the greatest team in the world, they put their bodies on the line, made huge blocks and tackles, and displayed excellent ball handling skills to move the play through the middle. Even though they ultimately lost without a clean sheet, they received a tonne of accolades for their efforts. Much of that was simply an admiration of their celebrations following each significant action; it had nothing to do with how they played. The emotive emotions from these two after each significant contribution at the…
Following Aaron Rodgers’ trade from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets in the 2023 offseason, the former MVP’s 2023–24 NFL season was not quite what the team had hoped for. Although New York would go on to surprise everyone by winning that game against the Buffalo Bills, they eventually failed to muster enough consistently strong play from their abundance of backup quarterbacks to make a run for the playoffs. Rodgers suffered an Achilles tear just a few plays into his time with the Jets. However, it seems that Rodgers and the Jets have a lot of hope…
This offseason, the San Francisco 49ers will have to make a number of difficult decisions, some of which may involve bidding farewell to an All-Pro. San Francisco has very little money to work with, even if it is still anticipated to be within the 2024 wage ceiling. For this reason, 49ers Nation blogger Rohan Chakravarthi has recommended that fullback Kyle Juszczyk be released. Fans now love Juszczyk more than anyone else on Kyle Shanahan’s squad. However, in light of his contributions, his cap hit seems disproportionate. On February 18, Chakravarthi wrote, “At the top of the list, we’ll go with…
From here, whither do the 49ers go? Under Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers have been able to find an explanation for their failures each time. Nick Bosa was held, but they lost. Jaquiski Tartt missed an interception, but they still lost. They were defeated, but Brock Purdy was hurt. With a fantastic coach and squad, the 49ers would have been champions by now if those things hadn’t happened. All they are is the victims of misfortune. Not at this moment. They must now confront their head coach. Since the 49ers had the best football roster this past season—a consensus that…
The offensive line led the NFL in scoring offence (28.4 points per game) during Todd Monken’s first season as offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. Zay Flowers, a rookie receiver, was one offensive bright spot for the Ravens. The former Boston College star, selected in the first round (at pick No. 22), was a fantastic asset to Monken’s team. Flowers stood out among the Ravens class of Trenton Simpson, Tavius Robinson, Kyu Blu Kelly, Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, Andrew Vorhees, and free agent rookie Keaton Mitchell, who all received B grades in NFL.com’s rookie rankings. “Flowers made an immediate impact working with…
All of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pass catchers with contracts through 2024 are those who had more than three receptions in the previous campaign. However, Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report continued to support the Steelers’ pursuit of veteran receiver Noah Brown in NFL free agency on February 14. “A physical possession-based wide receiver who can complement [Diontae] Johnson and [George] Pickens would be useful to the Steelers,” Tansey wrote. “Noah Brown’s 6’2”, 215-pound frame fits that description. “Brown would enable [Pat] Freiermuth to be one of Pickett’s trusted options across the middle and he could relieve some of the pressure on…
The Ravens were the first team to comment on the shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade, which resulted in the death of at least one person. The team posted on social media, saying, “Our hearts are with Chiefs Kingdom following the tragic events and shocking violence that occurred during today’s parade in Kansas City.” “We offer our complete support to every resident of the area and every member of the Chiefs organisation who has been impacted by this senseless tragedy on a day meant to bring people together in joy and celebrate love.” According to the authorities, the shootings…
There is a lot to like about the Green Bay Packers’ offensive performance from the previous campaign. Being accountable is a different story, and Rashan Gary wants the team as a whole to help him get better at it. Despite being the youngest team in the NFL, the Jordan Love-led group was able to surpass all expectations. Following a sluggish start, the club defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round to go to the playoffs. Following that outstanding performance—which was highlighted by Love’s postseason debut—the Packers took on the San Francisco 49ers. The team dominated the most of the…
The offensive line for the Patriots is almost complete. The Patriots are appointing Taylor Embree as their new running backs coach, per NFL on CBS. He will take over for Vinnie Sunseri, who moved from New England to the University of Washington to coach defensive backs. Embree, 35, is a rookie assistant coach connected to the West Coach offensive scheme and has NFL experience. He was the running backs coach for the New York Jets for the previous three seasons. At the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, Embree was let go by head coach Robert Salah and the Jets. Embree…
