Thursday News Round-up
As we head towards the final pre-season games we should be approaching a stable point where injured players can be rested and final plans put into place. At MacTalksNFL we will be keeping an eye on the state of things running up to the regular season.
Favre to miss Final pre-season game
News today that Brett Favre will not be on the field to face the Dallas Cowboys on Friday. Vikings Head Coach Childress said – “I don’t see the upside” and I have to agree with him. Why open him up to potential injury?
There has been some concern that some of the team have not had time to gel with the experienced quarterback, but this late in the pre-season his active time may be better spent on the training field.
Brandon Marshall
There has been talk over the last few days that Marshall may well be heading to the New York Jets. Denver Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels finally moved to quash the rumours yesterday by saying “We’re looking forward to having Brandon back on Sept. 6”.
Marshall has been unhappy with his situation with the team and has limited practice time with them so far. Coach McDaniels suspended Marshall for the remainder of the preseason last Friday for detrimental conduct during a practice.

Super Bowl XLV: The Last Time These Teams Met…
about 1 year ago - No comments
These are two teams that have not played each other much over the years. Even if we go back two games, we’re looking at Brett Favre and Charlie Batch as the starting QBs and to get 5 previous games we have to go back nearly 20 years. That includes a 7 year gap between 1998 and
Singletary And McDaniels, Back In Work

As you probably know the coaches of the two teams that met at Wembley this year were both fired before the end of the season. Well, they’re now both back in work. Mike Singletary is the new Linebackers coach at the Minnesota Vikings and Josh McDaniels is the new OC for the St. Louis Rams. These
Brett Favre… Two More Milestones Coming

Love him or loathe him, or rather respect him as a player and hate his as a ditherer, there are certainly things that you cannot take away from Brett Lorenzo Favre. And if you’ve not been paying any sort of attention, then you won’t know that this Monday, when the Vikings visit New York to
Week 4, 2010: New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins

3 weeks of NFL sure goes by fast. It only seems like last week when I was analysing the Baltimore Ravens picks from the 2010 draft. We’ve been blessed in that we’ve had some great games so far, and I’m sure there are many more to go, after all the season is still young. So

Oooh, 6 weeks! Not long at all now until the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers run out at Wembley Stadium here in the UK as part of the NFL’s International Series. Those of you paying attention will realise that it’s less than 6 weeks by two days, but we had to wait as
What I Learned From HBO’s Hard Knocks

HBO’s Hard Knocks – Training Camp With The New York Jets behind-the-scenes NFL program finished this week, it’s 5 week run seeming far too short but leaving plenty of memorable moments and lessons learned. It’s not perfect, and it’s careful to present the Jets in a certain way, there are plenty of narrative shortcuts too

This season – as well as giving a consensus on all the matches – we’ll be taking a closer look at a few matches a week. I picked this match early on, Andrew and Graham will look at different matches later on this week. What a way to open the new season! The Minnesota Vikings

It’s been a while now since we at MacTalksNFL.co.uk took our First Looks at the AFC divisions. With pre-season getting going, let’s take a look and see if there’s anything to make us re-consider our positions. Graham is on holiday, so this is down to Andrew and Craig. Let’s start with the AFC East… AFC
Favre Back, Harvin Out For Now
about 1 year ago - No comments
We’re sure you’ve heard that Brett Favre is back, almost certainly for his final year (his words, we’re not hanging our collective hats on that bet). He joined training camp earlier this week and will be a Viking until a last minute interception puts them out of the playoffs. More seriously, after making it back
