Darrell Bevell on the Raiders radar, Petey C says we've already talked to him.

Now this is a hire I could get behind honestly. Bevell or Bowles would be exciting because they are TOP assistants who are not retreads.

So Josh Harris to start, Ben Tate gets 5-7 carries and Dri Archer fits in wherever they need him prlly like 8-12 touches total.

Undrafted Free Agent signed out of Wake Forest, he's 6'0 & 200 lbs so he's got a little size on him and is pretty quick.. his problem is he can't seem to find holes or make his way to the outside as easy as LeVeon Bell.. Being at Wake Forest he had a pretty mediocre career although he only started the last two years.. A tough choice to put your faith in but hey the Steelers thought the crew with the addition of Ben Tate they have is a better option then signing Ray Rice against his former team.

Earlier today it was reported that a "BIG" move is expected from the Philadelphia Eagles in regards to the issues between the Front Office and HC Chip Kelly..

Now being reported.. Chip Kelly allegedly has expressed interest in opting out of his Contract.. Considering he was the sole reason DeSean is no longer an Eagle I would be pretty pissed off if this ends up happening. If Kelly opts out it's being said that the 49ers are the likely landing spot. http://ble.ac/1AnKuAI

EDIT:
Eagles Promote Howie Roseman to Executive VP of Football operations.
Chip will oversee Player Personnel Department.

Want to do more of these but just for a test run...

Arizona at Carolina looks like it could be a entertaining low-scoring affair, but that's only if the Arizona defense plays up to par. This Cardinals squad is one of the most unappreciated teams in NFL playoff history, being underdogs to a team with a losing record, and the veterans on this team - Calais Campbell, Larry Fitzgerald, etc - will definitely use this as extra motivation. They'll need all the motivation they can get as they've allowed 206 and 267 yards rushing in their last 2 games (Seattle and San Fran). Enter a Jonathan Stewart playing some of the best football in his career and the third dual-threat QB in a row, and they could be in some big trouble against the Panthers' offense. There's definitely a silver lining and that's the Cardinals' awesome secondary should completely shut down the Panthers' crappy receivers.

As for the Arizona side of the ball, it's largely a question of how capable they are. How well will the interior OL of the Cards handle all the un-spellable names of the interior Panthers' defense, will Kerwynn Williams and Stephan Taylor get enough holes? Will Jared Veldheer's awesome season continue against Charles Johnson? Will the receivers...

Forget it, this game's all about the quarterbacks and the turnover margin. Ryan Lindley has been a disaster so far, can he make just enough plays to give the defense a chance to win the game? Will the emotional Cam Newton get enough help from his teammates and not get rattled? If I was to venture a guess, it'll be the second of these as the Panthers get their first playoff win since 2005

But Ngata is back if I'm not mistaken and that's a big part of their Front 7.

Monroe out?

[HASHTAG]#decentrun[/HASHTAG] :

Yeah, it's a real shame. I have read some articles that downplay the injury because we're getting about the same production from Hurst that we got from Monroe. Per PFF, Monroe is ranked 117th out of eligible OTs. Hurst is 134th. Shitty play from both players, but not too much of a dropoff apparently.
