No they're just going to keep running the option with Cousins. If I've learned anything over the last few weeks here it's that schemes are fool proof things that can be run with any old player so long as the coach is good enough. Watch out league Kurt Cousins is going to tear up the league with his 4.9 40 time!

Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain was arrested on Tuesday for providing a false name when he was pulled over. At least, that’s why the police say he was arrested. McClain says he was arrested because the police are corrupt and out to get him.

It probably won’t help McClain’s case that the “false name” he gave police was an expletive.

According to the police in Decatur, Alabama, an officer saw a car being driven with a driver’s side window tinted so dark that the officer couldn’t see anyone inside at all, and so the officer pulled the car over. That car was driven by McClain, and when the officer approached the car, McClain rolled the window down all the way and refused to let the officer inspect the window. Asked for his driver’s license and proof of insurance, McClain said only, “You know who I am.”

The officer told McClain that he needed to inspect the window, but McClain refused to allow the inspection, saying that his doctor had diagnosed him with sensitivity to light and that he was therefore exempt from the tinted-window laws. Eventually, after the officer called a police supervisor to the scene, McClain allowed his window to be inspected and was given a citation for his window being too dark.

At that point, McClain was asked to sign the citation, and he wrote in the space for the signature, “F–k y’all.”

Officers asked McClain to put his real name on the ticket, and McClain answered, “That is my name.” At that point, McClain was arrested for providing a false name.

The Decatur Daily caught up with McClain to ask him what happened, and he pointed the finger at the police.

“I’m falsely accused of everything,” McClain said. “It’s corrupt. It’s terrible.”

Asked if he thinks the police are out to get him, McClain said, “Yes. You said it. I answered it.”

McClain will have his day in court on the charges of providing a false name. But if McClain is being mistreated by the police, there are probably better ways for him to go about defending himself than writing an expletive on a ticket for tinted windows.

4.9 40? So he's as fast as Welker?

Hahaha I might have to tape "ya'll" over the name on my McClain jersey.

Probably faster. Pats should trade for him to play him at WR. I mean if Julian Edelman can be a major contributor at WR then surely Cousins could too. In fact I'd probably play him at CB as well. I mean he is a QB so he will know what the opposing QB is thinking

Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

Houston Texans at New England Patriots

Broncos over the Ravens in a close game. Both QBs have a costly turnover (Manning on a duck, Flacco on a stupid decision to throw into triple coverage) but the best defense takes the victory.

Packers over the 49ers in what will (annoyingly) be billed as the rematch. I think Kap struggles and the Packers D steps up big. This one, however, gets the same treatment I gave the Ravens/Colts last week, in that I can see the 49ers winning big if they can abuse the exterior of the Packers Oline. It's been done before and, if the Packers are dumb enough to not help out their tackles, it will be done again.

Falcons win at home on the arm of Matt Ryan. Their rush D is good enough to keep Lynch from completely dominating the game. I don't see a huge scoring output for Seattle so they won't be able to keep up. But there's a ton of doubt for me on this one, as Ryan is squarely in the "Show Me!" zone and the Seahawks are the hot team that can absolutely beat anyone in the playoffs on any given Sunday.

Patriots beat up on the Texans again. This game could be a blowout win for NE if the Houston D doesn't play better than last week. Dalton showed why he was a 2nd round pick with some ugly throws downfield that I think will be completions this week w/Brady making them. Gronk won't be dropping more balls than he catches. BGJE had lots of room to break big runs but not enough speed to truly capitalize. Everything the Bengals do the Patriots can do better. That's a recipe for disaster for the Texans on the road. Ultimately, this one hinges on the Texans ability to flip the script and keep Gronk from beating them.

Or maybe you could use one of the extra Aldon Smith's and trade up to get a QB.

Didn't you know Aldon has a twin brother? Kinda like Chris Paul.

There seems to be a misconception that the Ravens defense is still good and that all it needed was to get their defensive players back from injury and have the "big 4" playing together again (Ngata, Suggs, Lewis and Reed). But even with all the guys back from injury and the big emotional push provided by Ray's last game at home the Ravens still surrendered 440 yards of total offense to a team that featured 5 rookies and a suspect offensive line.

Theres no way they keep the Broncos off the end zone if they play like this and having watched some Ravens games this season I know they won't.

Keep an eye on Vince Wilfork vs the Texans. The Texans entire offense lives and dies with the stretch run. I expect Bellichick to move Wilfork around quite a bit to counter their stretch game.

My suspicions are Wilfork will play DE on the strong side quite a bit vs the Texans instead of NT to attack those stretch runs.

I'd love to see him play some RE some and go 1 on 1 vs Brown.

If I were NE I would line him up straight across from Chris Myers, he would live in our backfield. Myers handles quickness well, but gets dominated by powerful NT and DT's.

Prediction for biggest impact players today:

GB vs SF
-- I'm not sold on the SF pass rush so I think Rodgers will have time to make plays and I'm picking Randall Cobb to be on the other end of most of them.

Baltimore vs Denver
-- It's going to be cold so I'm picking the best defensive player Peyton will ever play with, Von Miller, to come up with a few sacks and forcing a turnover.

Green Bay gives up a ton of sacks and SF can get to the QB so I would be worried about keeping Rodgers upright. Not sure,if numbers totally back it up but the Niners pass rush goes as Justin Smoth goes.

Big game tomorrow for Matt Ryan and Atlanta. The Falcons lose and they have reached Buffalo Bill status, but even they made trips to the SB.
