All reports positive after Peyton Manning’s first OTA in Denver (Shutdown Corner)

For the most part, the glowing reports seen from early OTAs and minicamps should be taken with less than an actual grain of salt -- especially when you're talking about offensive players in non-contact drills, and quarterbacks throwing against defensive backs with no specific NFL future. That said, the Denver Broncos had to feel pretty good about the practice they set up on Monday, showing as it did the first real glimpses of Peyton Manning throwing in anything approaching game situations. It was the first time the media had seen Manning throw in his new digs.
Because of the restrictive practice schedules put forth by the new collective bargaining agreement, Manning -- who signed a five-year, $96 million contract with the Broncos in March -- had to do a lot of work with his new receivers at high school fields. Finally back at the team's Dove Valley practice facility with the entire cast in tow, Manning looked like ... well, like he looks. He ran the practice, lined up his... Read more...

Madden ’13 will include ‘Tebowing’ (Shutdown Corner)

Forget the new schemes and routes, the advanced player modeling, and the always-impressive realism of the Madden game. The question you've all been asking has now officially been answered: Will we be able to "Tebow" as we're playing Madden '13, which will be released on August 28?
The answer, apparently, is an affirmative "yes." If you choose to celebrate a great play by getting on one knee as the Jets' quarterback does, you'll be able to do so in a virtual sense. Michael Young, the Creative Director and Sports Photographer for the Madden game franchise, let the cat out on Twitter:

That's all well and good, but here's our question: Where are the other celebrations? Where's Steve Smith's little rowboat end zone thing, or Chad Ochocinco's Riverdance? Moreover, why doesn't the NFL have a problem with this, as paranoid as they are about their players expressing themselves no matter the circumstances?
What we do not know is if other players will be Tebowing in the... Read more...

Beyond the Shutdown 50: Juron Criner, WR, Oakland Raiders (Shutdown Corner)

Now that the 2012 NFL draft is in the can, it's time to take the Shutdown 50 scouting format forward and get a closer look at some of the surprising and fascinating selections from this year's draft -- the guys we missed in the original 50, but who could be impact players now or down the road. Our next entry: Arizona receiver Juron Criner, selected by the Oakland Raiders with the 33rd pick in the fifth round (168th overall).
Overview: While most of the talk about Pac-12 passing attacks in 2011 focused on the offenses led by Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley, the Arizona passing game has been one of the more productive in the nation in recent seasons -- and receiver Juron Criner may be the primary reason for that. If you're in the group who believes that former Arizona and current Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles hurt that aerial attack as much as he helped it with his inaccuracy and questionable decision-making, Criner stands out in sharper relief. After catching seven... Read more...

Beyond the Shutdown 50: Gino Gradkowski, C/G, Baltimore Ravens (Shutdown Corner)

Now that the 2012 NFL draft is in the can, it's time to take the Shutdown 50 scouting format forward and get a closer look at some of the surprising and fascinating selections from this year's draft -- the guys we missed in the original 50, but who could be impact players now or down the road. Our next entry: Delaware guard Gino Gradkowski, selected with the third pick of the fourth round (98th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens.
Overview: Gradkowski did not expect to be selected so early in the draft. According to a profile at DelawareOnLine , he had just settled down in front of the video game console when the phone rang. "I just got done playing a game of NHL PlayStation against my cousin Carmen … I didn't even have time to get anxious about the draft because I was still mad about losing in that game."
You have to love a lineman who is so competitive that he cannot let go of his rage over losing a video hockey game until Ozzie Newsome's office calls with a... Read more...
