Midway through the season, it's time to take a look at what we've learned. I took a look at Ted Thompson, Eric Mangini, Vince Young, Roy Williams (of the Cowboys), Tom Coughlin and last but not least, Drew Brees, on Saturday's Total Access on NFL Network.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. THERE WILL NOT BE A PLAYERS WALKOUT BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS!

Favre’s success is elementary NFL

Brett Favre to is playing very well, and the reason is as simple as A-B-C. Teams are rightfully locked in to Adrian Peterson in the form of eight-man fronts. Therefore, it is easier for Favre to recognize in his pre-snap surveillance which receiver has man coverage.

All of the juicy soap opera scenarios appear to be coming from one place this season -- the NFC East.

You must be committed to the Wildcat NFL

For some teams the Wildcat is a trend or trinket. Consequently, these teams make a cursory attempt at executing the Wildcat offense. Just like any other aspect of life, if you give a half-hearted attempt it will yield little or no fruit. If you are going to be successful with this or any other offense, it requires execution.

Thompson’s second big mistake NFL

I was one of the loudest critics of Ted Thompson’s decision to get rid of Brett Favre. Thompson is right in his assessment that Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback. I just didn’t like the timing considering you were a missed field goal away from the Super Bowl.

Week 2 was filled with sensational finishes and as each game passes, the words of Patriots QB Tom Brady from a few weeks about shine through. Brady said -- and I'm paraphrasing here -- no one is bigger than the game and this game goes on without you.

Every year the NFL has what I like to refer to Jekyll-and-Hyde teams. As an analyst, it is particularly frustrating and for fans it has to be impossible to handle. Here's a list of the 2009 teams.

Talking smack… big deal NFL

I’m always amazed at the ridiculous emphasis placed on “trash talking.” Trash talking has been a part of the fabric of sports. I direct my ire at the media, who make such comments out to be a violation of some sacred trust of civility. In actuality, trash talking is a time honored tradition whose sanctity has been violated by players being forced to talk to the media.

Put Up My Dukes: Weight issues NFL

Source: Jamie Dukes. 67 days 9 mins

It's a concern to me that current NFL players are so big and explosive. It's an issue, not necessarily with current players, but with retired players. In my latest Put Up Your Dukes segment on NFL Total Access, I shared my story about fighting the battle with obesity.

Every year, I believe there are eight teams that legitimately fit into the Super Bowl conversation. And every year, one team jumps into the mix, like the Arizona Cardinals did last year. Here are my 2009 Elite 8 teams.

Nothing wrong with a little white lie NFL

Defenses must learn Vick Rules NFL

There are rules for regular quarterbacks, and then there are Vick Rules. Defenses will have to learn the Vick Rules and containing Michael Vick in the pocket. You'll see it's a totally different set of rules.
