Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice has made the most of his opportunities so far this season. He has not received more than 20 carries in the first three games but he still ranks seventh in the NFL in rushing. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said he has a feel on how to use Rice so that he stays fresh during the course of a season. ‘I think there’s a sweet spot on how much you can use a three-down back in this business over a 20-game-plus season. We think we’ve found that sweet spot for him,’ Cameron said. ‘It will vary a little bit from week to week, but you can’t find many backs in this league that can last 16, 20 games, much less (for) five seasons. So I think we’ve got a good feel for what is best for him and what is best for us.’

Head coach Tom Coughlin said the team will have a plan about how they’re going to use both Bradshaw and Brown – although he wouldn’t tip his hand.

So, the refs are back. Yay. The NFL and the referees union struck an eight-year deal last night, which you can read about right here. Reaction has been pouring in all morning, both from Twitter and online. Finally, we can stop discussing lockouts for a while. Commissioner Roger Goodell chimed in here. Now that it’s over, let’s begin the process of looking back. Most importantly, what did we learn from this surprisingly lengthy labor issue? Well… 1. As much as it seemed we ridicule the referees, we really like them deep down: That was obvious. It was a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. Who knew anyone missed the same refs who they boo constantly on Sundays? Who realized how […]
