Quick Thoughts

Since Friday and Saturday's post will be dedicated towards analyzing the two conference championship games, here is my only post of the week directed towards the other 28 teams who will not be playing this week. Here's some news that you may/may not have seen.

: Denver's hiring of Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as head coach was very, very smart. You may argue that at 32 years of age, McDaniels may not be able to gain control of a locker room that features a handful of players that are older than him. That may be true, time will tell, but we do know that McDaniels has a tremendous offensive mind and has 6 years of experience under a guy name Belicheck. McDaniels already made one great decision, in which bringing ex-49ers head coach and defensive mastermind Mike Nolan in as his defensive coordinator. The combination of the two has the potential to be great.

: Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford has decided to stay at Oklahoma for his junior year, sorry Detroit

: 3 of the leaders on the New York Giants have gone one the record saying that they want Plaxico Burress back in a Giants uniform next year. They may want to re-think that, as they are talking about a guy who has missed up to 40 team meetings, threatened sitting out due to a contract dispute, and last but not least shot himself in the leg, in the middle of a nightclub, with a gun that was not registered to him. Talk about a cancer.

: In the next week, don't be surprised if defensive coordinators Rex Ryan (Baltimore) and Jim Schwartz (Tennessee) get a promotion from another team and a significant raise that comes with the title of "head coach".

: These LT trade rumors are nuts. San Diego should start treating LT like the hall of famer is his, and not a career journeyman
