What's this and is it online anywhere?
ESPN, its just the NFL films crew following some rookies as they do things like OTA and mini-camps and some stuff before it, like sometimes it starts with combine and getting agents and doing pro-days.

i think its online sometimes TYT will get them but much harder to find than hard knocks or anything like that.

When we had a decent coaching staff like Cable/Hue we went 8-8 back to back.

Reggie/Mark erred badly razing it all. Brought Allen and a whole crew of rookie coaches. And gutted the roster too.

A period of the worst ever in franchise history ensued.

Now we have JDR and his elite staff....we should be no less than 8-8 in 2015.

Bookmark it.

While i agree that JDR is a better coach then Hue and whoever else. he didnt do much at the Jags. but dont see the Raiders going 8-8. more like 6-10 at best.

And it still puzzles me how Cable ever got a HC job. I think Charlie Weis might have been a better coach.

Unsigned franchise player Jason Pierre-Paul (thumb, finger) spoke to Giants GM Jerry Reese Sunday.

It's the first contact the Giants have had with Pierre-Paul since the July 4th fireworks accident that cost him a finger. Reese would only say they had a "personal" conversation and added that the Giants are "not pissed off or mad about it." This sounds like the first step toward JPP signing his $14.8 million franchise tag tender and letting the Giants medical staff examine him.

Accessible by Gamepass at all?

Lane Kiffin got fired early in the season, Cable got interim HC, and then got retained, till he lost the plot breaking people's jaws and taking hussies on road trips that he got pushed out by Davis for Hue.

Ahh yeah the highlight of Tom Cable there. And Lane Kiffin is basically the skinny Charley Weis, he threw his old man under the bus at USC. The next season Monte Kiffin improved the Dallas D and Lane got fired before he even got onto a plane in Arizona after a game.

Panthers DT Star Lotulelei was carted off the field in Monday's practice, and spotted with his surgically-repaired right foot in a walking boot.

"They didn't tell me much," was Lotulelei's response when asked what he was told by the medical staff. It's a major concern for a player who underwent surgery in mid-January. Lotulelei broke his foot in Carolina's Wild Card win over the Cardinals. The No. 14 overall pick of the 2013 draft, Lotulelei has established himself as one of the most effective defensive tackles in football.

Updating a previous item, Panthers DT Star Lotulelei suffered a "stress reaction" in his surgically-reaired right foot and will be re-evaluated in "a few weeks."

Lotulelei broke his foot in the playoffs and had surgery in January. It's a big concern for the Panthers, as the "few weeks" timetable puts Lotulelei's Week 1 status in jeopardy. Carolina will have to rely on Kawann Short, Dwan Edwards, and Colin Cole on the inside while Lotulelei is sidelined. He was PFF's No. 16 defensive tackle in 2014, receiving top marks in run defense.

It is going to be a big blow if Star is out for a long period

nteresting, interesting.
If Star's out for a while, I wouldn't put it past Carolina going from 1st to last in the division.

If their greatest strength is decimated by departures/injures, they might collapse.
They're at that point now I as a Falcon fan don't fear them anymore.
