The Dolphins will be using a 4-3 defense in 2012, rather than their old 3-4, under new Head Coach Joe Philbin. Jared Odrick was a 1st round pick in 2010, coming to the NFL as a defensive tackle from Penn State. In Miami’s 3-4, they played Odrick at defensive end,…

The Browns used the 22nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft on Brandon Weeden, but it was incumbent starter Colt McCoy getting all the 1st team snaps when OTAs opened for the Browns today. I wouldn’t read much into this at all. The inexperienced Oniel Cousins opened as the…

Needing young cornerback depth, the 49ers took a flier on Perrish Cox, formerly of the Denver Broncos, this offseason, signing him to a bare minimum deal. Cox, 25, had recently been cleared of sexual assault charges and while he didn’t play in 2011 while dealing with the trial, the 49ers…

The Panthers have a lot of hope for the future with quarterback Cam Newton and had a very successful offense because of him, but their defense was the cause of their 6-10 season. A big part of their defensive struggles was their 8.4 YPA allowed, highest in the league. #1…
