Nate Burleson

I noticed over the past year a lot of players started saying their high schools on player announcements.  Maybe it's because they didn't play in college or just wanted to rep their high school a little bit.  Burleson has taken it a step further and went with the elementary school shout out last night.  Not sure but maybe he said it because the Lions have been playing like they're in elementary school lately.  (and I'm a Lions fan saying that) Like this post?

Despite possessing the most talented wide receiver in the league, the 2009 Detroit Lions’ receiving corps was a mess.  Teams covet elite receivers because they force the defense to roll coverage to that receiver.  This leaves all the other receivers facing single coverage which is far easier to exploit, theoretically.  Unfortunately for the Lions, none of their other receivers were able to take advantage of the attention paid to CJ. Calvin Johnson was limited to 67 receptions for 984 yards...Read Full Story

In recent seasons, former coach Mike Holmgren turned grandfatherly during the Seahawks' bye weeks. Turning 60 and already owning a Super Bowl ring, he boldly gave his players the entire week off. They'd go on far-flung vacations or just relax and heal at home with family and friends. It was wildly popular, of course, like Spring Break in October. Jim Mora is not Mike Holmgren. Demanding fewer mistakes, and downplaying that a dozen starters have been injured, the Seahawks' new coach has his...Read Full Story

Calvin Johnson is hinting at a special end zone celebration this weekend — as long as he scores a touchdown that's allowed to stand, of course. Johnson had what looked like a game-winning touchdown catch ruled incomplete last week in Chicago , a ruling that led to a lot of discussion this week about the NFL rule for completing a reception. The Detroit receiver was coy Friday when asked if he had anything planned for his team's home opener Sunday against Philadelphia . "I've thought about it...Read Full Story

Three consecutive blowout losses have the Seahawks in as bad a shape as they've been in years. The 48 points scored by the Packers on Sunday were the most Seattle had allowed since 1983. Only a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter kept the Seahawks from their worst margin of defeat in history. Yet coach Jim Mora insisted on Monday that his 5-10 team has not quit — despite losing at Houston by 27 points, to then-one-win Tampa Bay at home by 17 and at Green Bay by 38 on Sunday. "Let me just be...Read Full Story

Players have made predictions. In fact, players in Detroit have made predictions. ( See Kitna, Jon ) And those players were wrong. So, Lions receiver Nate Burleson isn't making a guarantee or promise. Instead, he's making or stating a goal. Burleson said, " I want to win eight games or more ," per Terry Foster of the Detroit News . "Now if we can have that mind-set, that at the end of the day when we take our jerseys off and look up at the scoreboard, regardless of the result, did...Read Full Story

Jim Mora's hometown team just won its first game with him as its coach in a rout, in a shutout no less. Yet Mora still has a list of issues he wants fixed, starting Sunday at San Francisco. "Shoot, it's long," Mora said Monday, a day after the Seahawks beat St. Louis 28-0 for their biggest opening win since 1998. The lengthy list is indicative both of how far Seattle has to go to return to NFC West supremacy following its 4-12 flop last season — and of how far the Rams, 2-15 since the start...Read Full Story
