The back and forth between the NFL and FKA-NFLPA continued today with volleys fired from both sides. Right now it seems pretty bleak, and it definitely looks like the impasse will head well into at least the start of training camp.

They only really get down to business when they’re right up against a deadline, so I’m not expecting serious negotiations at least until August hits.

Then it becomes a question of how many regular season games will be lost.

What if it goes into September, how far can it go before the season is lost? November? December?

So not a whole lot to feel great about with the NFL right now. In times like these I just need a little Manning Face to cheer me up.

“Peterson plays like a low-test guy,” one NFL decision maker told PFW on the condition he remain anonymous, “but [if] he’s in ‘cat’ [man-to-man] coverage in the NFL, it’s not as big of an issue as it will be for offensive guys.”

“He’s a press corner,” another longtime evaluator said. “His strong suit is that he can run and press. He won’t play for the Patriots, where he’s disguising coverage after coverage, but I still think he can be a No. 1 shutdown corner.”

Nolan Nawrocki via PFW on Patrick Peterson, consensus best defensive back, and bottom 5 wonderlic guy.

So yeah, this will drop the guy I have #2 overall on my Patriots big board.

The Patriots were the league’s fourth most conservative defense when it came to blitzing last season. They rushed four or fewer defenders on 73.7 percent of dropbacks. Generating more pressure out of the standard four-man rush – which is a priority for most teams – should be high on Bill Belichick’s offseason list. This is reflected in the Patriots registering sacks on only 3.7 percent of dropbacks with four or fewer pass rushers (tied-27th in NFL).

When the Patriots did blitz, sending five or more rushers, opposing quarterbacks weren’t under enough consistent pressure. Quarterbacks completed 63.9 percent of their passes against the Patriots’ blitz, ranking New England 31st in that category. Opponents’ 43.2 percentage converting first downs against the blitz also ranked the Patriots 31st.

NFL Network’s number one individual season performance of all time goes to… Tom Brady! I love that they start it off with the tail end of Manning in 2004.

Regardless of how it ended 2007 was a magical season and should eventually be one that I can look back on fondly. I think this might depend on whether BB and TFB get at least one more ring.

Despite how horribly it ended this team came within one defensive stop from the UNDISPUTED greatest team of all time. I think just about everyone can probably agree that they are definitely the best team ever that didn’t win a Super Bowl. Oh well, it was 5 months of controversy and throttlings and the rug was pulled out for the first time at the last possible moment.
