TechnoratiLorenzo Neal
Friday, December 7th, 2007Lorenzo Neal is a 15 year NFL veteran. Not many people have heard of him. He plays Fullback, an old position that is quickly being done away with. Our football team for the last two years didn’t have one, and had no need for one.Lorenzo is currently on the San Diego Chargers. His role [...]
Cover 2 Shell
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007I heard a commentator use this term this weekend and it struck me that not everyone who was watching would know what this means.

Michigan is a perfect case study for this. I got to watch the replay [...]
