Boise State Reveals New All Black Uniforms

D. Wash — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 00:33:01 +0000

Boise State has had some of the best alternate uniforms for a few years now. I think they have nailed the look ever since they started putting the entire Bronco head on the helmet. With that said you knew NIKE wasn’t going to sit around and admire their good work.

Nope! Nike has come out with new all black uniforms for Boise State. The feature the Bronco on the helmet, gradient numbers, and all black cleats.

2012 NFL Draft Rumors: Kellen Moore to Saints?

D. Wash — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:43:56 +0000

It seems as if New Orleans has a good thing going and they are going to double down with the short guys at QB. Not only do they have Drew Brees and Chase Daniels, but rumors coming out of the draft community are reporting that the Saints are interested in the former Boise State Broncos QB Kellen Moore.

Here are the details:

I think this would be a great move considering Moore has a very similar skillset to the QBs they already have. Though Brees probably has the strongest arm between he, Daniels, and Moore all three QBs rely on accuracy and timing to make up for their lack of height at the position. Kellen Moore is going to be a serviceable QB wherever he goes due to his natural feel for timing routes, and it may be the best thing for him to study under Drew Brees for a couple years before taking over either in New Orleans or elsewhere.

2012 NFL Mock Draft: Doug Martin Getting 1st Round Grade

D. Wash — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:42:27 +0000

If you saw Boise State play any games this season you probably had a good look at Doug Martin. At 5’9 he is a compact, powerful runner, but also has the agility to make defenders miss when he needs too. That ability earned him kickoff return duties with the Broncos this year.

At the Senior Bowl Martin looked the part of a starting NFL running back, and the tweets and comments flew in on his likeness to one Ray Rice. Both smaller running backs that “flew under the radar” so to speak on a national level. Well, it looks that scouts have taken notice even after Isiah Pead stole the show at the Senior Bowl and are grading Martin as one of the best runners out.

According to SI.com draft analyst Tony Pauline, “several scouts” have tabbed Boise State RB Doug Martin with a first-round grade.

NFL front office members ordinarily devalue running backs on draft day, but the scouts have signed off on Martin as a top-32 prospect in 2012. According to Pauline, Martin “won’t be far off” of the first round even if he doesn’t quite make it in. At 5-foot-9, 219, Martin is considered pro-ready in terms of pass blocking and receiving skills and the ability to break tackles.
