Prospect Preview: Florida vs Auburn

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

NEPD Staff Writer: Stephen Sheehan

After getting stomped by Alabama and LSU, Florida fell from the rankings this past week. The Gators started the season hot, running the ball at will while stuffing the run on defense.

However, that came against the likes of Florida Atlantic, Alabama-Birmingham, Tennessee and Kentucky, not exactly the same level as Auburn.

Unlike in years past, Florida doesn’t boast a ton of draftable prospects, although there are several young players that will soon be on the NFL Draft radar.

What sort of role will Ras-I Dowling be playing the rest of the season?

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

It might not be the biggest question in New England right now (What are the Sox doing or something about politics that I’m not following) but it’s one I’ve been asking myself for weeks: Why isn’t Ras-I Dowling playing?

In the Film Room: Iowa vs Penn State

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Nice Hoodie.

Much is often made of the connection between Iowa’s coach Kirk Ferentz and Bill Belichick, who coached together during Belichick’s time in Cleveland.

However, with the exception of a couple of undrafted free-agents and a 7th-round pick (OL, Mike Elgin), the connection has never produced a big splash on the Patriots roster, even though only USC and Florida have put more players in the NFL over the last few years.
