Super Bowl:
Richard Sherman says he could slap his brother if need be | ProFootballTalk
If there's any benefit to #deflategate, it has at least spared us from the Aaron Rodgers' calf treatment for Richard Sherman's elbow. The Seahawks cornerback told reporters today that he's still a bit sore from last weekend's injury, but remained confident he was going to be able to play.
Canty: Deflating balls no different than PEDs | ProFootballTalk
“The Patriots are habitual line-steppers,” Canty said during an in-studio appearance. “If the allegations are true, then you are talking about attacking the integrity of our game and I have an issue with that. . . . [W]hat I’m going to say about the deflating of the balls, to me there is no difference than performance-enhancing drugs. You are cheating at that point. You are getting a competitive advantage outside of the rule book and there has to be some sort of consequences for that.”

In his 12th season, Williams finally gets Super Bowl trip - seattlepi.com
Williams decided his celebration for finally making the Super Bowl in his 12th NFL season was simply to run around like a kid. Williams' role has changed significantly from when he signed with the Seahawks in the offseason. [...] his improvement as a nose tackle, especially stopping the run, was evident on two key plays late in the fourth quarter of Seattle's rally against Green Bay. Williams and Bennett stuffed Eddie Lacy on the first two plays for negative gains and the Seahawks were able to get the ball back with enough time to stage their rally. [...] this NFC championship game had Williams flashing back to the only other one he played, in January 2010 with the Vikings against New Orleans. Seattle had already scored twice, including recovering an onside kick, and led 22-19 with 1:24 left.

Jim Moore: I'm getting sick of the Seahawks' Doug Baldwin - seattlepi.com
Thing is, as reporters, it doesn't matter what we believe in. We're there to write about what we see on the field. Most of us were trained to write objectively when we cover games as reporters. As columnists, you give opinions such as this one: There's a good chance the Seahawks would not have been behind 19-7 with three minutes to go if Baldwin hadn't dropped two passes and fumbled on a kickoff return and generally stunk as a kickoff returner all game long.

2015 Senior Bowl: South loaded on offensive, defensive lines - CBSSports.com
After taking in a couple of two hour practices for both the North and South teams at this year's Senior Bowl, it is clear that the latter owns a significant talent advantage along the line of scrimmage. Among the South team's standouts Wednesday were LSU's La'el Collins, Oklahoma's Daryl Williams and Georgia Tech's Shaq Mason -- and that was just along the offensive line. The defensive line was even better.

Let’s start with a recap of day one. You can see a ten minute clip (North OL vs DL) above. Tony Pauline gave a breakdown to PhiladelphiaEagles.com that’s worth a viewing. He says La’el Collins (T, LSU) and T.J. Clemmings (T, Pittsburgh) were both disappointing. Collins was reportedly pushed back into the pocket on several occasions, while Clemmings looked raw and struggled with hand placement and technique. Both players have undoubted physical talent but have seemingly endured a rough start here.
