Defensive Players to Watch at the NFL Combine

1. Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon - Freak athlete. He is expected to test extremely well at the Combine. I'm looking forward to seeing him in pass coverage drills as an OLB.

2. Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU - He has been described as a workout warrior. He has excellent speed. He'll have a great 40 and should impress in pass rushing drills.

3. Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama - He is expected to put on a show in the bench press. I'm curious to see if he has the speed to match the strength.

4. Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU - Great athlete who was a little under the radar during the season. He'll emerge as a potential top 10 pick at the Combine.

5. Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame - I'm most interested in seeing his interview/press conference with the media. His interviews with teams will be critical for him.

6. Shariff Floyd, DT, Florida - Strong and fast. He should excel in all aspects of the Combine. His stock is on the rise and will continue to be after his Combine performance.

7. Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU - Expected to do well in drills, especially the three cone drill. He has good quickness. Although for obvious reasons his interviews with teams will be the most important part of the Combine for Mathieu.

8. Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU - I like this player a lot and I'm curious to seeing him in drills. He has great speed but is a little slow off the snap. High motor guy.

9. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State - I'm a huge fan of this kid. He has great instincts and intangibles. He might not be off the charts in drills such as the 40 but he will excel in coverage drills. He'll impress in the interview process.

10. Margus Hunt, DE, SMU - There is a lot of hype surrounding him leading up to the Combine. I don't know much about him so I'm interested in seeing him.

11. Matt Elam, S, Florida - Athletic and instinctive. Not sure if his speed is top notch, that's something I'm looking to see at the Combine.

12. John Simon, DE, Ohio State - Honestly I'm looking forward to seeing him simply cause he's an Ohio State player and I'm an Ohio State fan. He's a great player but he probably won't test off the charts at the Combine.

The U Scandal

     Here we go again, another Major College Football Scandal and this time it's the U. Am I supposed to be surprised? First it was USC, then Ohio State, and now Miami. I think it's becoming a realization that every Big Time Program was Receiving Benifits. College Football is a cesspool for this kind of Shit. As for Miami it's self, this comes as no shock. Think about the Life Style down there, and the Players that attended the U. A lot of the Players that went to the U grew up in Less Fortunate situations and weren't going to pass up Money when giving the opportunity. Then there's the Life Style, have you ever been to Miami? When your down there you can't help but wanna Party, Drink, hit up the Strip Clubs, hang out on the Yachts, Live it up on South Beach. It's pretty obvious this Shit was going down and you know what, it's not a big deal to me. I don't blame those kids for wanting to Live it up. College Athletes should get paid anyways but we

Patriots Free Agent Wish List

Here's a list of NFL free agents I would love to see the Patriots target in free agency. This is more of a wish list than a list of realistic possibilities. I'd be happy if the Patriots signed just a few of these players.  1. Donte Whitner, S - Love me some Whitner. This Ohio State Buckeye is a hard hitting Safety who would bring instant physicality to the Patriots D. He is the perfect compliment to McCourty. He would also bring a veteran presence and leadership.  2. Eric Decker, WR - It's time to give Tom Brady a legit playmaking outside receiver. Some would argue Decker isn't even that but I'm not one of them. He is a big physical receiver who makes explosive plays down field. He would fit in perfect here and remember Josh McDaniels drafted Decker in Denver.   3. Aqib Talib, CB - This is the Patriots biggest free agent this year and they must find a way to resign him. When Talib is healthy he is a difference maker on this Defense.  4. Vonte Davis, CB - If the Patr
