Baldinger: Bradshaw brings flash to the Giants' bash

Talk about a guy coming on strong. Bradshaw had all of six carries in 2007 before getting 17 carries at Buffalo in Week 16, a critical game for the Giants in which he ran for 151 yards and busted an 88-yard touchdown run -- all in the second half. ...

Baldinger: Evaluating college quarterbacks is no snap

There's a world of difference between taking snaps under center and taking snaps five or six yards farther back. Think about it: Brennan started at Hawaii for three years and never turned his back to the defense. That's huge. With the offseason ...

Baldinger: Think McFadden is a can't-miss NFL prospect? Think again

Yes, McFadden ran for a ton of yards at Arkansas and was a two-time Heisman Trophy runnerup. But I've watched him on film and up close in the Cotton Bowl, and I've seen no special qualities that will make him an exceptional running back. I hate to ...

Baldinger: Petrino will never live down his selfish act

That was unfair to Arthur Blank, who was banking on Petrino being able to fix a franchise that never, in 42 years of existence, has had back-to-back winning seasons. Blank spoke glowingly of Petrino and the team's future during a national TV ...

Baldinger: Don't break up the Bengals

When I worked the Cotton Bowl four years ago, several Mississippi coaches told me their best player was Stacy Andrews, an offensive lineman whose college career consisted of the five games he had played that season. So I wasn't all that surprised to ...

Baldinger: Baby, you can drive this Carr into oblivion

Last season, Chris Weinke took over for an injured Jake Delhomme in Week 14 and couldn't lead a 6-6 team to the playoffs. This season, David Carr hasn't been able to hold down the starting role he inherited after Delhomme's season-ending elbow ...

Baldinger: In Ryan Grant, the Packers have a running game

Ten weeks into the season, I finally saw a Green Bay running back run with some authority. Taking a toss sweep to the right against Minnesota two weeks ago, Ryan Grant burst through the hole, streaked up the seam, broke a tackle and spun into the end ...

Baldinger: Hayensworth's career day is fueling the Titans' D

It's time to stop talking about Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth's potential. Instead, let's talk about his arrival as one of the game's best interior defensive linemen. Haynesworth is having a career season. He had a career game Sunday, ...

Baldinger: With A.P., it's time to break out the superlatives

Before the season started, I said Adrian Peterson would be the league's rookie of the year. I also said he would be an MVP someday. Make that today. Peterson was the reason the Vikings beat the Bears last week. He rushed for 224 yards -- the most ...
