<p>Up to this point we’ve discussed <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/5/15/876046/nfc-west-position-by-position” target=”_blank”>quarterbacks</a>, <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/5/22/883267/nfc-west-position-by-position” target=”_blank”>running backs</a>, <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/5/29/892196/nfc-west-position-by-position-wide” target=”_blank”>wide receivers</a>, <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/6/5/899604/nfc-west-position-by-position” target=”_blank”>tight ends</a>, <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/6/12/906917/nfc-west-position-by-position” target=”_blank”>centers</a> and <a href=”http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/6/19/917489/nfc-west-position-by-position” target=”_blank”>offensive tackles</a>.&nbsp; Today we round out the offensive line with a look at all the guards in the division.&nbsp; Guard is not the easiest position to grade on the offensive line as it is just sort smushed in between the other offensive linemen.&nbsp; However, as I indicate in my write-up on the <a href=”http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/SFX” class=”sbn-auto-link”>49ers</a> guards, I think the 49ers are in an excellent position for 2009.&nbsp; If they let Dave Baas go after this season as a free agent things may change going forward.&nbsp; However, these posts are about the team’s status at each position in 2009.&nbsp; And in 2009, the potential and production at guard is looking good.&nbsp; The rankings list the 49ers third, but I think the top three teams in the division are actually bunched fairly close together.</p> <p><b>1. <a href=”http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/STL” class=”sbn-auto-link”>St.

by Dan GrazianoFiled under: Lions, FanHouse ExclusiveThe Detroit Lions, who haven’t won a football game since 2007, just wrapped up their final minicamp of the offseason. There’s a lot that’s new about them, including offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who was good enough to return FanHouse’s phone call on Thursday afternoon and answer some questions about the way the team looks to him so far.Linehan, the former head coach of the St.

He had just been to his first Pro Bowl, he had led the Eagles to their first playoff victory of the new millennium, and he was a season away from getting signed to a 12 year, $115 million contract as his team's new franchise player. But as everyone and their mother knows, you're not a true star in this league until the first time you shill for canned goods.

Ok, so I have to admit, I only used that title because Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hilarious movie.  If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. It may not seem that great, but its one of those movies that only gets better the more you see it.  Paul Rudd, per usual, is great and Mila Kunis also looks pretty doggone good.  Of course, I probably over exaggerated how good Kunis actually looked when I first saw the movie because I was overseas and had not seen a good looking female in the flesh for months on end.  Anyways …  Onto some football stuff.  I went and played poker at a little place down in Fishers and for a few minutes the conversation turned to football. I was sitting at a table with a Bears fan and so I asked his thoughts on Brandon Marshall.  He said he was in favor of a move for the Denver wide receiver, but saidhe didn’t think it would happen.  I’m in favor of the move and said, ”why not?” They already went and got the stud quarterback in Jay Cutler, why not get the stud receiver?  It’s kind of like going to a five star restaurant, getting the $ 21 appetizer, a bottle of classy wine, the $58 steak and then passing on dessert.  It just doesn’t make much sense.  Marshall is familiar with Cutler and his cannon arm and immediately gives the Bears a legit number one.  I think it’s a good move
