He didn't get blocked and knocked someone's helmet off. At least he's got NFL-level posturing down pat.
University of South Carolina? I don't follow college. Have they always been Div 1? |

Here's an article that was posted 30 minutes ago on nfl.com: Has Anthony Barr passed Jadeveon Clowney on draft boards? By Dan Greenspan Chris Carlson / Associated Press "If we're just going off of what has been done on the tape, Anthony Barr has outplayed him. And when you really think about his versatility and what he brings to the table, I think you can make an argument that he may be a guy that is more worthy of being selected at the top of the board than Jadeveon Clowney based on what we have seen on the tape on the field," Brooks said on the College Football 24/7 Podcast. Now PlayingNFL: College Football 24/7CFB 24/7: Bengals RB Giovani Bernard, UCLA LB Anthony Barr More important, Barr has lined up in multiple positions -- playing outside linebacker and defensive end and even covering slot receivers -- whereas Clowney is limited to coming off the edge or playing inside on obvious passing downs. Brooks sees Barr as a Julian Peterson-type player who can be deployed in a variety of ways, but with pass-rushing skills comparable to those of Clay Matthews. Barr has played only 17 games as a defender but has 26.5 tackles for loss with 14.5 sacks in that span. A senior, he played H-back in his first two seasons with the Bruins and is only scratching the surface of his potential, another check in Barr's favor, Brooks said. "As an evaluator, you're thinking, 'If I get him coached up and put him with the right coach and the right scheme, this guy will go from good to great in no time because he is still trying to figure out what to do,'" Brooks said. Barr has gone out of his way to avoid or downplay comparisons to Clowney. When asked by Matt "Money" Smith about how he projects in the NFL, Barr pointed to the more multi-faceted aspects of his game. "I just think I'm a three-down guy," Barr said. "I can cover the tight end, cover the back out of the backfield. I can rush the passer, I can play the run. I can just do it all." The preferred defensive alignment of teams at the top of the 2014 NFL Draft will probably dictate whether Barr or Clowney is the first defender off the board. As Brooks notes, Clowney could be the next Julius Peppers, whereas Barr is like Von Miller, who has alternated between outside linebacker in a 3-4 look and strongside linebacker in the Broncos' current 4-3 scheme. Said Brooks: "If you are weighing the two, it comes down to what is the scheme and what is the best fit for what you want to do." Follow Dan Greenspan on Twitter @DanGreenspan. DLeethal wrote:

And SC is one of the big, bad schools of the SEC East. Them, Florida, and Georgia are the three teams that 'contend' each year

Yankees and Giants always got me by every year the Knicks sucked. I should have known the Knicks could only be a good team at the expense of the other two. What the hell, Big Blue?!

Yeah, it's time to start looking at possible picks. But where to begin? This team has so many holes. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Hey, look at it this way: the Gints are officially dead the same week as the Knicks first preseason game!
You can maintain a single, laser focus on Knicks basketball now! Life is good! |

Giants let a lot of older talent walk and without saying it, is this how they rebuild?

The Coughlin retirement plan. Does it kickoff at 0-6? 0-8? Does he make it to the bye week?
I'm on record as saying 2011 wasn't all that long ago, but no wins at all? |

I doubt he "resigns" as he don't take me as a man who bails. Has he lost his team? Schedule has not been easy, but "Oh-Fer"??? Not cool! |

I'd rather have Umenyiora and Bennett than Beatty and his big contract... If that happens, maybe they ask Coughlin to resign too. Maybe promote Fewell or Gilbride just to keep some stability.

Could we possibly just play every day for the next two weeks and end our perfect season early?
Is Eli part of the tanking plan? |

I hope he goes down with a phantom injury so we can see if Nassib is as good as everyone said leading up to the draft. Gruden (and others) said he was the best QB prospect of last year's draft. I doubt he ever takes over for Eli but I want to see if maybe they can deal him for a first rounder this offseason DLeethal wrote:

Eli is leading all leagues in scoring opportunities for the opposition. I swear, it's almost like he'd throw it to himself and run into his own end zone in the fourth quarter if he could.
Is there any line yet on whether Coach Cough makes it out of the bye week? |

Are there any other 1-5 pretzels in the bag we could play?
 Justin has a shovel. Next week's starting backfield will feature the return of John Riggins! Or maybe the Fridge! |
