Singletary And McDaniels, Back In Work
Jan 19th
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 are good moves for both players. Big Mike will be able to do what he does best; work with – and improve – the linebackers and McDaniels gets to concentrate on offensive play without that pesky defence or game management clouding his view. Here’s wishing them the best for 2011.
Although there are plenty of stories still to watch with these two teams (such as the quarterback position for both teams) this will probably close out our NFL International Series coverage for the 2010 season, it’s been a great season and despite the fate of these two teams (and their coaches!) we had a good game to remember. Here’s hoping 2011 sees a game coming our way too… in fact, here’s hoping 2011 sees any games.
NFL International Series 2010: Wembley Watch – 6 Weeks to Go
Sep 21st
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 the 49ers were the Monday Primetime game this week.
So, it was home debuts for both teams last night with both teams 0-1 going into the weekend. Good showings from both teams, but different results…
Denver Broncos
Demaryius Thomas came in and make a big splash last night, showing the strength, speed and ability that made him a first round draft pick. Kyle Orton showed great control of the offence and the defence also turned up as the Broncos subdued the Seahawks to take the game.

First Look 2010… AFC West
Jul 23rd
So with our final part of this year’s First Look series, we turn our gaze towards the AFC West. As well as the Chargers, who were part of the great entertainment at Wembley Stadium in 2008, NFL UK fans will also keep an eye on this division for the Broncos who will be visiting these shores at the end of October this year.
This was the division that I most accurately predicted last season, correcting stating that the Chargers would win and that the Broncos in second would not make the play-offs. I’d take some credit but really, who saw it any differently?
Let’s see if it’s as straight-forward this year…

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?

In our final part of the Second Look series, we take a peek in the AFC West and see what’s happening with the training camps well underway and pre-season getting going too.

First Look… AFC West
Jun 27th
The division of quarterback turmoil! There’s so much to watch here, it becomes a hard division to call for the wrong reasons. One elite, one upgrade, one downgrade and one controversy looming – that’s the shape of the guys under centre in this division.
