National Football Post - What is the quality of their reporting?
I have always found it to be a good place to find reports on the work of others, and a place to find football news and information collected, but I have thought their own content is weak.
They are doing preseason reviews of each team, position by poisition. As part of the Packers review, they wrote this:
Quote:
The replacement for Williams will most likely be Casey Hayward. Opposite Heyward may be one of two rookies. Top pick Damarious Randall played safety at Arizona State but has corner traits and played a lot of corner during OTAs. Second round pick Quinton Rollins from Miami (Ohio) also got some reps with the ones. Rollins, though inexperienced as a player, has great ball skills. Veteran Sam Shields also has to be in the equation.
Makes it sound like Shields is battling the rookies for a starting cornerback spot opposite Hayward.
I have seen these types of things many times on there, an analysis that doesn't even recognize the existing situation correctly.
