Rosen then drove the Cardinals to the Seattle 4, where they settled for a Phil Dawson chip-shot field goal.Rosen does have the Cardinals out to a 10-7 lead on the Seahawks at halftime, though.He drew a 17-yard pass interference penalty on cornerback Justin Coleman to the 1-yard line. David Johnson punched it in from there, though the Cardinals needed a replay reversal on that one after officials ruled Johnson down at the 1.The Seahawks have shot themselves in the foot with penalties, sacks and missed field goals.

Mike Davis leads the Seahawks with 10 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown.Davis&rsquo; 20-yard run with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead. The Arizona Cardinals suspended general manager Steve Keim for five weeks and fined him $200,000 after he pleaded guilty in court Tuesday to extreme DUI following a Fourth of July arrest in a Phoenix suburb.A Chandler police report shows Keim had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, more than twice Arizona's legal limit of 0.08 for drivers.It wasn't immediately clear when Keim would be sentenced or if he was facing a jail term.The Cardinals report to training camp at University of Phoenix Stadium on July 27.Keim has been the Cardinals GM since 2013 and signed a contract extension in February through the 2022 NFL season.According to the arrest report, Keim told police he only had two beers and ate pizza two hours before he got pulled over around 12:30 a.m. in Chandler.But officers said they smelled alcohol on Keim's breath and he had slurred speech.Keim also refused to take several field sobriety tests, but did consent to have his blood drawn."As stated at the time of the incident, this behavior is indefensible and completely unacceptable <strong><a title="Authentic Chase Edmonds Jersey" href="http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/chase-edmonds-jersey">Authentic Chase Edmonds Jersey</a></strong> ," the Cardinals said in a statement Tuesday. "While Steve has accepted full accountability and responsibility for his actions, that does not diminish their gravity nor the severity of the consequences that result from them."Those who work within the National Football League &mdash; particularly those in leadership positions &mdash; bear a greater responsibility and are held to a higher standard than simply a legal one and we feel that these measures are reflective of that."During his suspension, Keim will be barred from the Cardinals' facilities and prohibited contact with the team.He won't be allowed to return to the team until after he's completed counseling and evaluation plus a DUI education course.The $200,000 fine will be donated to the Arizona chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving."Once again, I apologize to everyone who has been negatively impacted by my actions and incredibly poor judgment, in particular the Cardinals <strong><a title="http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/phil-dawson-jersey" href="http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/phil-dawson-jersey">http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/phil-dawson-jersey</a></strong> , our fans and my family," Keim said in a statement released by the team Tuesday."I fully deserve and accept the punishment that has been issued.

	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">Greetings <strong><a title="http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-gabe-jackson-jersey" href="http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-gabe-jackson-jersey">http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-gabe-jackson-jersey</a></strong> , Raider Nation! The main event of the evening has finally arrived. It&rsquo;s time for the Raiders to take on the Packers from the picturesque Oakland Coliseum. While the Raiders will have their starters play extended minutes, the Packers will not, because they&rsquo;re chickenshits.So tonight the Raiders had best be prepared for the Deshone Kizer Experience, which will mean if they want to intercept a pass they should dive for the grass three feet in front of whatever receiver they&rsquo;re covering. And don&rsquo;t look for much run defense from the Raiders, as the Packers have not called a running play since 2009.The game will be on NFL Network, joined in progress for some reason.Game details:Location: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland CAGame time: Friday, August 24, 7:30 pm Pacific (10:30 pm ET)TV channel:Raiders broadcast: KTVU (FOX/2 - San Francisco/Oakland), KQCA (My/58 - Sacramento), KTLA (CW/5 - Los Angeles), KVVU (FOX/5 - Las Vegas), KHON (FOX/2 - Honolulu).Packers broadcast: WGBA (NBC/26 - Green Bay)WTMJ (NBC/4 - Milwaukee) KTVI (FOX/2 - St. Louis) WKOW (ABC/27 - Madison)WAOW (ABC/9 - Wausau WI)WQOW (ABC/18 - Eau Claire WI)WXOW (ABC/19 - La Crosse WI)WLUC (FOX/6.2 - Marquette MI)KQDS (FOX/21 - Duluth MN)KGCW (CW/23 - Quad Cities)KWWL (CW/7.2 - Waterloo IA)KCCI (MeTV/8.2 - Des Moines IA)WYZZ (FOX/43 - Peoria IL)KDLT (NBC/5 - Sioux Falls SD)KMTV (CBS/3 - Omaha)KYUR (ABC/13 - Anchorage AK)KATN (ABC/2 - Fairbanks AK)KJUD (ABC/11 - Juneau AK)(Do I get the game?)NFL Network scheduled to show the game at 8pm PT with a replay at 1:00am PT.Online streaming: NFL Game Pass Preseason liveRadio: Listen online here.

After the 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Thursday, it is hard to imagine that the Oakland Raiders have a lot of fight left on either side of the football. The Thursday night game looked abysmal and to no surprise Oakland had zero good fantasy outings. On Sunday, the Raiders will have to face the Los Angeles Chargers again. In the first game, the Chargers blew the Raiders out 26-10. For a second straight week, it is going to be bleak for Oakland. Must StartQB Philip RiversNo one knew who Nick Mullens was 24 hours before kickoff last Thursday. Now, football fans across America know this kid&rsquo;s name. It might be unsafe to think about what a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Philip Rivers will do to the depleted and lifeless Raider defense. RB Melvin GordonIn the first meeting against Oakland, Melvin Gordon tallied one touchdown and 120 yards from scrimmage. Amazingly, that should be considered a monumental win for the Raiders defense as Gordon has gashed teams for 124 yards from scrimmage per game and 10 touchdowns in seven games. So in the first meeting, Gordon put him numbers similar to his average. When players go against the Oakland defense, they usually perform A LOT better than their average. Expect that to be the case this Sunday for Gordon. WR Keenan AllenKeenan Allen this season is averaging close to six receptions for 80 yards per game but has just one touchdown all year. After racking up 152 yards from scrimmage against a much better Seattle defense last week <strong><a title="Authentic Donald Penn Jersey" href="http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-donald-penn-jersey">Authentic Donald Penn Jersey</a></strong> , Allen is trending in the right direction. He will be able to put up big yards as he has done that all year. And this would be the game for Allen to find the end zone since he is playing the same defense that had people drawing connections between Mullens and Joe Montana. Proceed with CautionQB Derek CarrDerek Carr is never a smart man to bet against. And there is no doubt he will want to prove the doubters wrong after last week&rsquo;s performance in Santa Clara. But Carr just hasn&rsquo;t had enough time to throw the football this season due to the many injuries up front and the inexperience at the tackle positions. And Los Angeles, led by Melvin Ingram, has gotten to the quarterback 22 times in the first eight games. If you ever lose sight of Carr during the game, just check the ground. That is where he will probably be after many passing plays. The one saving grace for Carr, garbage time can be a great weapon for fantasy quarterbacks. RB Jalen RichardBased on what I said about Carr, I am not confident in the offense&rsquo;s ability to consistently move the ball this game. However, that could be a benefit for Jalen Richard. If the team is down big early, Richard will see many snaps and could see a lot of dump offs in the second half if the defense is giving a lot of cushion. BenchTE Jared CookJared Cook hasn&rsquo;t performed well lately. He has had 20 yards receiving or less in three of the last four games. One of those games was against the Chargers in which he had just 20 yards. And again, if Carr isn&rsquo;t going to be upright, it is tough to imagine Cook getting a ton of targets. RB Doug MartinIn the first meeting, Oakland ran the ball 12 times for 36 yards. The team is less motivated now than it was earlier in the season and is having more issues protecting the quarterback and throwing the football. If the Raiders are one-dimensional (more like zero-dimensional) and struggling to pick up first downs, Doug Martin is not going to get enough carries to provide a solid fantasy day. Raiders D/STI think every single player on the Chargers&rsquo; roster was in the must start category.</div>]]></description>

Raiders Week 3 NFL Power Rankings round-up: Oakland&rsquo;s lack of killer instinct drops them further in rankingsThe Raiders have blown three second-half leads in this short season which has been comprised of the Raiders competing in the first half before falling apart in the second half. A far cry from Del Rio&rsquo;s Raiders in 2016 which consistently came roaring back from the jaws of defeat to snatch victory. Jon Gruden: Derek Carr is &lsquo;trying too hard&rsquo;, needs to learn &lsquo;more patience&rsquo;Two weeks after saying that Carr wasn&rsquo;t been aggressive enough, Gruden is not stating that Carr has become too aggressive and that he was trying too hard. Specifically, according to Gruden, Carr &ldquo;. . . needs to learn a little bit more patience and I think he will. I&rsquo;m really excited about the way he has played and improved and mastered this offense.&rdquo;Raiders chaos grows around Jon GrudenThe consistent losing combined with Gruden personal scouting system has generated a storm of discontent regarding Gruden&rsquo;s actions during his head coaching tenure. Fair or not, Gruden&rsquo;s return to the Bay Area has been marred with a 0-3 start and he will have an opportunity to right the Raiders ship against the Browns.AFC WestGarett Bolles - First Round BustBolles lack of awareness, and undisciplined technique combined with the fact that he is one of the most penalized offensive lineman in the NFL makes him a potential bust if he doesn&rsquo;t turn it around.

Rankings 2.0: Top 25 prospects in 2018 college football seasonWith the first four weeks of the college football season past us, Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah have each updated their rankings of the nation&rsquo;s top 25 prospects and combined them into this list. Su&rsquo;a Cravens grew up watching Philip Rivers at the former Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego - and even though the young safety has only been with Denver a few months <strong><a title="Oakland Raiders Hoodie" href="http://www.raiderscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-hoodie">Oakland Raiders Hoodie</a></strong> , he is well aware that the only real flaw of the Chargers&rsquo; quarterback is getting flustered by a dominating defense.And Cravens and his fellow defenders know that&rsquo;s the key to a win on Sunday.&ldquo;Their quarterback is the general. The spirit of this team runs through Philip Rivers,&rdquo; Cravens told the guys at First &amp; 10 @ 10 on Monday. &ldquo;If he&rsquo;s hot, the team&rsquo;s going to be hot. But if we can get to him and cause some pressure on him and get him off his game, hopefully that will knock the balance off of everybody else.&rdquo;Listen to "Su'a Cravens 11-12-18" on Spreaker.Easier said than done, of course, as seven teams so far this season have learned. Currently the Chargers&rsquo; offense is 10th in points per game, eighth in total offensive yards and third in average yards gained per play at 6.9.But one area they are actually weaker than the Broncos&rsquo; offense is in third-down conversion percentage - and that&rsquo;s where Cravens sees potential.If the Broncos&rsquo; defense can do three main things - tackle better, stop offenses on third down, and not make mental errors before the snap - then Denver can keep Rivers from marching down the field every time he gets the ball.And <strong><a title="Cheap Customized Oakland Raiders Jerseys" href="http://www.raiderscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-customized">Cheap Customized Oakland Raiders Jerseys</a></strong> , of course, the more pressure on No. 17, the better.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got to tackle a lot better. That&rsquo;s the most obvious,&rdquo; Cravens said, noting that the Broncos did better against the Texans, holding them to just 60 yards rushing. &ldquo;But we&rsquo;ve got to keep that momentum going and make sure we get these guys down on the first helmet to the ball. These yards after contact are what&rsquo;s keeping teams on the field.&rdquo;It is most definitely going to take the Broncos&rsquo; defense once again mitigating the scoring damage so our offense only has to do so much to win - as head coach Vance Joseph hinted in his Monday afternoon presser.&ldquo;I told the guys, hope can&rsquo;t be your strategy. You can&rsquo;t hope to win, you can&rsquo;t luck-in to win an NFL game. It&rsquo;s too hard. We have to play better football,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We have to score more points early and play dominant defense. That&rsquo;s our brand of football. Hope can&rsquo;t be your strategy. You&rsquo;ve got to play better.&rdquo;Sitting at 3-6 <strong><a title="Womens Kolton Miller Jersey" href="http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/kolton-miller-jersey">Womens Kolton Miller Jersey</a></strong> , Cravens said the locker room is tight-knit and always ready to hold teammates accountable. Although any kind of postseason play is a long-shot for the Broncos at this point, Cravens said he doesn&rsquo;t have any personal playing goals, only to get a victory in the books.&ldquo;My main priority is to get the win,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;As long as we escape with a W, I&rsquo;m good with that.&rdquo;</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Raiders expect to have three key injured players]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">who missed Saturday&rsquo;s game back Monday Training camp is done. The team is back in Alameda as the next step toward the start of the season just three weeks from today. Their first practice of the week starts at 1:15pm today as they prepare for their third preseason game this Friday against the Packers. And Gruden expects three key players who were not available for the game Saturday to be back today.&ldquo;I think Seth [Roberts] will be back too. He&rsquo;ll practice today. And that&rsquo;s great for us <strong><a title="Youth Marcus Gilchrist Jersey" href="http://www.raidersfootballauthentics.com/marcus-gilchrist-jersey-authentic">Youth Marcus Gilchrist Jersey</a></strong> , we need to get him out on the field, back in with our receivers,&rdquo; said Gruden. &ldquo;[Marcus] Gilchrist will practice today, that&rsquo;s a positive. . . I think [Daryl] Worley will be back practicing today as well.&rdquo;Roberts didn&rsquo;t playin the first preseason game either. He is in a battle for his roster spot at receiver, so he needs to get on the field so the team needs to see how he competes with the other players looking to take a roster spot from him.As for Gilchrist and Worley, Gruden has spoken highly of both of them throughout the offseason. Both are in contention to start at their respective positions &mdash; Gilchrist at safety, and Worley at corner. Worley started in the first preseason game mainly because Gareon Conley was injured. Gilchrist has yet to play in the preseason for the Raiders.Follow @LeviDamienRaiders season preview and predictions from the Silver &amp; Black Pride staff Preparations for the Raiders 2018 season opener against the Rams are officially underway today. Opinions seem to be fairly wide ranging with regard to this year&rsquo;s team, so we decided our season preview will be a team effort here at Silver &amp; Black Pride. Here are the takes of the staff on what they expect from the Raiders this season.Tyler J SmithRecord: 10-6The Raiders have had a ton of roster turnover from last season, but for the most part (with one obvious exception) it&rsquo;s been positive. The Raiders have added a big weapon on offense in the form of Jordy Nelson as well as Kolton Miller, who could develop into a quality tackle. But it&rsquo;s on defense that the Raiders have drastically improved. Khalil Mack is gone. Added are rookies PJ Hall, Maurice Hurst and Arden Key and free agent Tank Carradine. Together, those guys will hopefully be able to match or exceed Mack&rsquo;s sack totals. The secondary is vastly improved with a healthy Gareon Conley, Rashaan Melvin, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and Marcus Gilchrist. The Raiders&rsquo; schedule this year isn&rsquo;t as difficult as in recent seasons, and new coaches Jon Gruden and Paul Guenther are vastly more competent at coaching than their predecessors. Gruden&rsquo;s competence in the general manager role isn&rsquo;t off to a promising start, but the Raiders should be able to get it done and contend for the playoffs.Tyler GreenRecord: 9-7There is no doubt that the Raiders are worse off without Khalil Mack, as he is arguably the best defender in the NFL. That being said, this is still a team that has some talent (Bruce Irvin, Derek Carr, Amari Cooper <strong><a title="Youth Rashaan Melvin Jersey" href="http://www.raidersfootballauthentics.com/rashaan-melvin-jersey-authentic">Youth Rashaan Melvin Jersey</a></strong> , Kelechi Osemele, Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson) and should be much improved from a coaching standpoint. If the three rookie defensive linemen play well, the Raiders could end up with a winning season with what should be one of the easiest schedules the team has seen in years. Evan GroatRecord: 8-8I was much more optimistic two weeks ago when I thought a 10-6 record was possible. After the trade of Khalil Mack, release of Martavis Bryant, and listening to Jon Gruden talk about how this roster has &ldquo;many holes&rdquo; to fill I no longer feel as confident. If Jon Gruden doesn&rsquo;t believe this team is ready to win right now, then why should I?The Raiders will be earning plenty of frequent flyer miles this season, topping the NFL with 31,716 miles traveled. The Raiders also have the NFL&rsquo;s oldest roster, which includes (at the moment) 29 new faces on the 53-man roster.Even with the loss of Khalil Mack, the Raiders will go as far as the right arm of Derek Carr will take them. I believe the Raiders might be a year or two away before being ready to be a major player in the AFC playoff picture.BD WilliamsRecord: 8-8They say you lose a game for every rookie starter. The Raiders have 5 or 6 players destined for big roles who have never played an NFL season before. But then how many games do you lose after trading Khalil Mack?Gruden has vastly improved the coaching staff and for that reason the Raiders have a shot at a winning record. But the amount of new faces also means this team will take time to mesh. The margin for victory in the NFL is so narrow, Gruden only made it harder on himself after dealing Mack. Playoffs is too high of an expectation, especially when all AFC West teams are a threat. That being said, fans should notice that the Raiders are fighting harder and in more games during the 4th quarter than last season. Ryan LiptonRecord: 9-7Going through the schedule I came up with nine wins for the Oakland Raiders. However, that seems a little high to me. Not sure if that is because of the atrocity that was trading Khalil Mack this past week, but I still see Oakland improving in 2018. The defense should be improved from last year, even without Mack, just because of the coaching that Paul Guenther brings. On offense, it is the same idea. There is no Downing, but instead Jon Gruden. As such, I think Carr is going to have a very good year. This team should be dominant on offense <strong><a title="Womens Frostee Rucker Jersey" href="http://www.raidersfootballauthentics.com/frostee-rucker-jersey-authentic">Womens Frostee Rucker Jersey</a></strong> , like what we saw in 2016, it just depends if the defense can keep up and force turnovers to help win close games. But I think this team hovers around 8/9 wins. A few lucky bounces and maybe they get to double digits. But a few unlucky bounces and it could be a six or seven win season. Marcus Allen KrauseRecord: 9-7Though I don&rsquo;t see the Raiders quite making the playoffs this year, I do still believe that they will be a competitive team. They absolutely need to handle business at home where they have one of the more favorable home schedules in the league. They also have games against San Francisco and the LA Chargers that could easily have an equal number or better of Raiders fans in attendance despite being away games. With what should be an impressive offense under Jon Gruden with QB Derek Carr, they have a chance to win a fair amount of games this year as long as Gruden and Carr&rsquo;s chemistry is as good as advertised.I worry about a slow start in the aftermath of the big trade but I still feel confident that the Raiders will have an above .500 record at 9-7.Phliip RobinsonRecord: 10-6This offense has been closely guarded under Jon Gruden&rsquo;s lock and key. What will it look like, will they be stout at both tackle positions? The offense will have to win most games, clearly by trading Khalil Mack, Gruden signified he expects to score a lot of points. Why else would he forsake the defense? DC Paul Guenther and Defensive Backs coach Darryl Ansley should vastly improve a secondary which went nearly 11 weeks without an interception. The AFC West is wide open, 10-6 should challenge for the playoffs, if it doesn&rsquo;t win the division outright.Levi DamienRecord: 6-10I could break this down more, but for the sake of brevity let&rsquo;s do this like an equation. I had the Raiders at 9-7 this offseason. Mainly because I expected them to be better than before based on the coaching changes, but I wasn&rsquo;t going to aim too high because Derek Carr had by far his best season the only time he had the same coordinator two seasons in a row. He has another new coordinator (Gruden, not Greg Olson) so I expect it will take a season for him to really get clicking. Since then a few things have happened. The tackle situation got real scary, Martavis Bryant &mdash; who was supposed to upgrade the receiving corps &mdash; is gone, and, of course Khalil Mack was traded. The tackles are going to lose this team a game (hopefully not getting Derek Carr injured in the process), Bryant would have been the hero on at least one big game-winning TD pass, and Mack&rsquo;s ability to be the closer is worth two games. That&rsquo;s 5-11. But I figure Gruden will pull out a secret he&rsquo;s been hiding to win one back. And there you have it, 6-10.Follow @LeviDamien</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The Falcons are not going to fire Dan Quinn for the 2018 season]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">Things could get very bad the rest of the way for the Atlanta Falcons <strong><a title="Womens Andy Levitre Jersey" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/andy-levitre-jersey-authentic">Womens Andy Levitre Jersey</a></strong> , who are 1-4 and haven&rsquo;t played more than a half of solid defense in the last three weeks. They&rsquo;re coming off the second-worst loss by points (there were worse losses I&rsquo;m not going to dwell on) in the Dan Quinn era. This is the first time they&rsquo;ve found themselves in this deep a hole five games in under DQ, period.So it&rsquo;s understandable&mdash;and inevitable&mdash;that the calls for Quinn were going to start. They&rsquo;re fairly quiet at the moment, but make no mistake that if the Falcons put a losing season on the books in 2018, there will be no shortage of fans and analysts who suggest pushing him out the door. They&rsquo;ll point to Quinn&rsquo;s always questionable clock and in-game management, the lack of discipline this team seems to fall into for long stretches, and the defensive ineptitude, though much of that is genuinely due to injury.Of course, while there are legitimate arguments to be had about the weakness of Quinn and this coaching staff more broadly, any discussion of the coach losing his job is There are multiple reasons for this. The first is that this season has the look of an outlier for Quinn, given that this team made the Super Bowl after 2016 and the playoffs in 2017 <strong><a title="Youth Brian Poole Jersey" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/brian-poole-jersey-authentic">Youth Brian Poole Jersey</a></strong> , and injuries have largely crippled the defense. The second is that the owner is Arthur Blank, and Blank made only one in-season coaching change back in 2003, when he canned longtime coach Dan Reeves because he was A) clashing with Michael Vick and B) had one playoff appearance in his previous four seasons. The third is that the Falcons have bought into Quinn in a very real way, as he&rsquo;s been instrumental in building this roster and coaching staff, and Blank is not a man in a mood to tear down that infrastructure.That could change if the Falcons get their healthy players back, enjoy a solid draft, and still underachieve in 2019. But for better or for worse and usually the former, stable franchises don&rsquo;t tend to fire coaches for one lousy year, and the Falcons have prized stability. The best case scenario here features the Falcons going on a tremendous run, pushing into the playoffs <strong><a title="Youth Takkarist McKinley Jersey" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/takkarist-mckinley-jersey-authentic">Youth Takkarist McKinley Jersey</a></strong> , and having Dan Quinn rub our noses in some of his favorite mantras for a bit. The worst case is that the team struggles all year, leading to some soul-searching in the offseason, some shakeups to the roster and coaching staff, and hopefully a healthy, improved team heading into 2019. There won&rsquo;t be a regime change, and the Falcons will You are, of course, welcome to advocate for his firing. You are welcome to point out his flaws, which predictably have come into sharp relief as the team has struggled. Just don&rsquo;t honestly expect 2018 to be the year the Falcons change the locks for the man they gave the keys to the franchise to. Eagles WR Mack Hollins won&rsquo;t play versus Atlanta, DE Michael Bennett out Tuesday UPDATE: It looks like DE Michael Bennett is a-ok for Philly and will play Thursday despite missing Tuesday&rsquo;s practice session. WR Mack Hollins confirmed out. The Eagles are going to be down another one of their better receiving targets. Our colleagues over at Bleeding Green Nation report that Philadelphia WR Mack Hollins won&rsquo;t suit up Thursday against Atlanta <strong><a title="Youth Calvin Ridley Jersey" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/calvin-ridley-jersey-authentic">Youth Calvin Ridley Jersey</a></strong> , leaving them to Nelson Agholor and Mike Wallace as their main targets at receiver. It&rsquo;s also said DE Michael Bennett did not practice Tuesday with a knee ailment, hinting he could be held out, too, and at the most won&rsquo;t be one-hundred percent. The team later said the absence wasn&rsquo;t related to an injury, however, so his status is very much up in the air. The Eagles already won&rsquo;t be fielding starting QB Carson Wentz, WR Alshon Jeffery, LB Nigel Bradham and DT Tim Jernigan. With Hollins and maybe Bennett out, Philly&rsquo;s coming out of the gate a bit hampered by the injury bug. RB Jay Ajayi is a full participant coming off a foot injury, and he&rsquo;s given this defense problems before. The Falcons have the health edge Thursday for certain <strong><a title="Womens Robert Alford Jersey" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/robert-alford-jersey-authentic">Womens Robert Alford Jersey</a></strong> , and hopefully will take advantage of their healthier grouping. It&rsquo;s not to say this game is a gimme, but it&rsquo;s also not quite the same team that took Atlanta out of the playoffs in January, either. It&rsquo;ll be a slugfest in the trenches come Thursday night, but Philly will be down a bit of talent. You don&rsquo;t want to always depend on this to win ballgames, but it certainly helps to have the upper-hand here when you go on the road to play the champs.</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Recent happenings in the state (Early November)]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">Ft. Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas DL Braylen Ingraham committed to Alabama over Miami. The Tide could be primed to make a major run in the state. 19 of the state&rsquo;s 42 four- and five-star recruits are uncommitted.It&rsquo;s flip season <strong><a title="Atlanta Falcons Womens Hoodie" href="http://www.falconsfootballauthentics.com/hoodie-authentic">Atlanta Falcons Womens Hoodie</a></strong> , and that is especially true in Florida. Rumors have Alabama trying to flip Ohio State safety commit Jordan Battle, and FSU commit Akeem Dent. Florida is trying to flip FSU commit Quashon Fuller. The following players are no longer rated as four-stars: WR T.J. Jones, DB Breion Fuller, DB Briton Allen, DB Tyler Scott. OriginalFlorida is the most talented state in the nation. The recruiting battles in the Sunshine State are fierce, because who wins and loses them often helps decide conference and national titles. In the last 35 seasons, 11 of college football&rsquo;s national titles have been won by schools in Florida. Eight more have come via schools in the two states bordering Florida. I live in Florida and have covered the state for over a decade. In this space, I&rsquo;ll chronicle who is doing the best, what I&rsquo;m hearing, and some trends to monitor. The Florida Blue ChipsNameSchoolPositionStarsCommittedNameSchoolPositionStarsCommittedIMG Academy players from out-of-state are excluded (see explanation below)Why out-of-state IMG recruits are excludedFor the purposes of determining which schools are recruiting the state the best, I am excluding players from IMG Academy who are not from Florida. A move to IMG Academy is different than other moves. Because it is a boarding school, kids are coming to the school for the purpose of football, not because their family just moved to town. There is nothing tying them to the state. We know that a large majority of players who transfer to IMG from out-of-state return to their home region. By excluding these players, who make up about five of the state&rsquo;s top-50 in a given year, a clearer picture of the schools recruiting true Florida kids, both in culture and roots, can be attained. For 2018, these players are DE Nolan Smith (Georgia commit from Atlanta) <strong><a title="Julio Jones Jersey Limited" href="http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey">Julio Jones Jersey Limited</a></strong> , RB Noah Cain (uncommitted from Denton, TX), WR Josh Delgado (Oregon commit from Bellflower, CA), and WR Shamar Nash (Arkansas commit from Memphis). Related: Florida linebacker commit Diwun Black has moved from Mississippi to Kissimmeee (Fla.) Osceola. He&rsquo;ll be focusing on his grades and not playing football, according to multiple reports. He was committed to UF before moving. Florida State and Miami lead the wayThe Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles are way out in front with a combined 15 of the state&rsquo;s top 40 players as ranked by the 247Sports Composite. FSU has eight, while the Hurricanes have seven. FSU&rsquo;s class is led by five-star DB Akeem Dent and four-star guard Dontae Lucas. Miami&rsquo;s class is headlined by four-star receiver Jeremiah Payton and four-star linebacker Anthony Solomon. I am also a huge fan of Miami linebacker Avery Huff, who is an athletic freak and just scratching the surface of his potential. Florida has some ground to make up, and it canThe Gators have just one committed in the state who are rated four- or five-stars (though two if you count Diwun Black, as explained in the note above). The Gators are in good position with a number of good players, though, and will be fine. Still, I am confident that Florida&rsquo;s in-state recruiting will improve. FSU and Miami will not each sign 4X the number of blue-chips in the state as the Gators. Clemson and Ohio State are the top out-of-state recruiters in Florida, but watch out for Alabama.Clemson has five-star receiver Frank Ladson and four-star running back Chez Melussi. Ladson is an elite deep threat. Ohio State has a commitment from four-star safety Jordan Battle, who is one of my favorite players in the nation.It shouldn&rsquo;t be surprising that these two programs are doing so well with Florida recruits. Clemson has done well in the Sunshine State for a decade plus. Dabo Swinney is still well known for securing the commitment of C.J. Spiller in the 2006 class. Urban Meyer and Director of Player Personnel Mark Pantoni still have great connections in the state from their 2005-10 tenure with the Florida Gators.Alabama, though, could finish as the top OoS recruiter.Where the elite uncommitted kids might go?Note: Not all four- and five-star players will be discussed here. Some have been intentionally left off because the offers they frequently mention are not actual options for them, per people with knowledge of the programs mentioned. The Hurricanes are battling for Evan Neal <strong><a title="http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey" href="http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey">http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey</a></strong> , Khris Bogle, Tyrique Stevenson, Mark-Antony Richards, Keon Zipperer, Kenny McIntosh, Lloyd Summerall, and maybe NayQuan Wright. Neal is from Okeechobee and his mom would like him to stay close to home. Richards and McIntosh&rsquo;s brothers starred for the 2017 Hurricanes. Keeping Bogle and Stevenson in South Florida would be big wins for Miami, though both are big fans of out-of-state schools as well.Florida State is pursuing Will Putnam, Tyler Davis, and Raymond Woodie III. The Seminoles are also involved with Evan Neal. Woodie III is the son of FSU linebackers coach Raymond Woodie Jr. Neal would likely come in and start Day 1 for Florida State since the Seminoles&rsquo; tackle position is such a mess, but most think FSU is running third behind Alabama and Miami. The Gators are in position with Kaiir Elam, Trey Sanders, Lloyd Summerall, Deyavie Hammond, Nayquan Wright, and Keon Zipperer. Elam&rsquo;s father played for coach Dan Mullen for a time at Notre Dame. The Gators took Sanders&rsquo; brother Ulmstead as a walk-on linebacker. Summerall is being recruited for the 3-4 defense, which helps the Gators stand out against Miami and FSU, who run the 4-3. And Florida is trying to flip FSU commitment Quashon Fuller <strong><a title="Matt Ryan Jersey Limited" href="http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/matt-ryan-jersey">Matt Ryan Jersey Limited</a></strong> , who has been very open about checking out all of his options, though he did not show up to UF&rsquo;s &ldquo;Friday Night Lights&rdquo; camp. I think the Gators can sweep the trio of Summerall, Hammons, and Zipperer, from Lakeland High, which is a traditional UF stronghold. Georgia Bulldogs fans should focus on Tyrique Stevenson.The Alabama Crimson Tide has a strong shot to regain commitments from two former commitments in Trey Sanders and Evan Neal. Both visited Tuscaloosa in June. They could also flip Ohio State&rsquo;s Jordan Battle. Clemson remains involved with Will Putnam and Tyler Davis. A sweep would be a blow to rival FSU.Expect some changes to the rankingsI know for a fact that some of these players rated four-stars are not seen as such by major college programs, and that some recruits lower down in the rankings are more highly thought of. It wouldn&rsquo;t surprise me to see a 20 percent of the four- and five-star list change over the next few months. Rankings via the 247Sports Composite.Panthers vs. Falcons Week 2 Watch: TE Greg Olsen, RT Daryl Williams ailing With Week 1 in the books, the Falcons must put the blunders of yesterday behind them as two divisional opponents await for Weeks 2 and 3. The team will host the Carolina Panthers next Sunday, though two key figures to the Panthers&rsquo; offense could be on the sideline. TE Greg Olsen exited Carolina&rsquo;s Sunday win over the Dallas Cowboys with a foot injury and did not return. He was questionable pre-game with a back injury as well.Postgame, Ron Rivera said it was not the same foot injury that limited Olsen last season but that it was the same foot. Olsen turned 33 in March but is still one of Cam Newton&rsquo;s top targets on that offense. Even if the injury is not serious, the team could opt to give Olsen a week off with so many bangs and bruises this early. This would clear the way for rookie TE Ian Thomas to start, who had been drawing some praise from training camp. Starting right tackle Daryl Williams might be in a tough spot, as he&rsquo;s scheduled to get an MRI Monday on his knee. He was carted off during Sunday&rsquo;s contest with an injury. He tore his MCL and dislocated his patella in camp but was somehow able to enter the season healthy. If he misses any time, Carolina would lose both its starting tackles after LT Matt Kalil hit IR before the season began. T Amini Silatolu would likely start in his place. We&rsquo;ll keep an eye on how the veteran Panthers pass catcher and blocker progress through the week, but it looks like both teams will be at less than 100% Sunday.</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[As if the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Chicago Bears wasn’t bad enough]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">the football gods literally added<strong><a title="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-t.j.-lang-jersey" href="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-t.j.-lang-jersey">http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-t.j.-lang-jersey</a></strong> injury to insult. Late in the fourth quarter, the Lions suffered a few key injuries that just so happen to hit the Lions where they are the most vulnerable.The first was to Marvin Jones Jr., who limped off after a fourth quarter catch. The team announced he had a knee injury and was questionable to return. Not only did Jones not return, but he was downgraded to OUT for the Lions&rsquo; final offensive drive of the game. To make matters worse, Kenny Golladay was clearly hobbled towards the end of the game. Golladay managed to finish out the final quarter, but don&rsquo;t be surprised to see him pop up on the injury report next week.Sticking with the offense <strong><a title="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-quandre-diggs-jersey" href="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-quandre-diggs-jersey">http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-quandre-diggs-jersey</a></strong> , Michael Roberts suffered a shoulder injury during a fourth-down reception. The Lions were already short-handed at tight end, as Luke Willson missed the game with a shoulder injury. That left just Levine Toilolo as the Lions&rsquo; sole healthy tight end for the final portion of the game. Lastly, Kerryon Johnson had to leave the game temporarily, as it appeared he reaggravated his ankle injury. Johnson was questionable this week, but he played through the pain and managed to come back and finish the game. By the end of the game, he looked pretty gimpy <strong><a title="Color Rush Christian Jones Jersey" href="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-christian-jones-jersey">Color Rush Christian Jones Jersey</a></strong> , but that didn&rsquo;t stop him from playing through it all.The Lions didn&rsquo;t give any significant updates on the players after the game, and we likely won&rsquo;t know more until the team practices on Wednesday, but for an offense struggling to find its stride, it&rsquo;s not good news that literally all of their top offensive threats left Chicago beat up.Oh, and punter Sam Martin left Soldier Field in an ambulance. Let&rsquo;s hope for the best for all of these individuals. The season may be all over for all intents and purposes, but no one wants to see players seriously hurt.Sunday open thread: How many rushing yards will Kerryon Johnson have vs. Cowboys? Kerryon Johnson did all Detroit Lions a favor by ending the horrible 100-yard drought last week against the Patriots. But the Lions didn&rsquo;t trade up in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft so that Johnson could do that once. They&rsquo;re hoping he&rsquo;s got plenty of those kind of performances up his sleeve for years to come.At this point in the season <strong><a title="Youth Frank Ragnow Jersey" href="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-frank-ragnow-jersey">Youth Frank Ragnow Jersey</a></strong> , it&rsquo;s hard to tell how real the Lions&rsquo; running game is. Johnson undoubtedly looks good, but the offensive line has been inconsistent through three games. Additionally, the Patriots have one of the worst run defenses in the league in 2018, so it&rsquo;s important to view Johnson&rsquo;s performance through that lens. So what happens this week? How will Johnson&rsquo;s encore look against the Dallas Cowboys? Today&rsquo;s Question of the Day is:How many rushing yards will Kerryon Johnson have vs. Cowboys?My answer: The Cowboys have allowed just one 100-yard rusher this season, but it took Seahawks running back Chris Carson 32 carries to get there (3.2 YPC). Saquon Barkley only managed 28 while Christian McCaffrey had 50 with Cam Newton adding 58 of his own. Throw it all together and you have a pretty solid Cowboys run defense. That being said, I&rsquo;m really starting to believe the Lions have something going on the ground <strong><a title="Youth Ziggy Ansah Jersey" href="http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-ziggy-ansah-jersey">Youth Ziggy Ansah Jersey</a></strong> , and as long as the game remains under control, they&rsquo;re going to try and be as balanced as possible on offense.So I think Johnson will reach 85 yards on around 20 carries. He won&rsquo;t quite go back-to-back in 100-yard performances, but he will keep the Lions&rsquo; rushing attack respectable.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Detroit Lions vs. New England Patriots]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">&nbsp;First half open thread The Detroit Lions have been given a gift from the football gods. Both the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings&mdash;fairly heavy favorites in Week 3&mdash;lost their games earlier on Sunday. Unfortunately <strong><a title="Authentic Marvin Jones Jr Jersey" href="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/marvin-jones-jr-jersey">Authentic Marvin Jones Jr Jersey</a></strong> , the Cardinals couldn&rsquo;t complete the trifecta, blowing a 14-point lead to the Chicago Bears in the late games.Either way, the Lions have a golden opportunity to completely change the narrative of the 2018 season in one night. A win over the Patriots, however improbable as it may seem, would put the Lions just a game away from first place in the NFC North, and a half game behind both the Packers and Vikings.But in order to pull of such an upset the Lions need to look a lot different than they have in the previous two weeks. In both games <strong><a title="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/nevin-lawson-jersey" href="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/nevin-lawson-jersey">http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/nevin-lawson-jersey</a></strong> , the Lions fell behind by three scores, and only last week in San Francisco were they able to work their way back into the game. The defense has looked bad, the offense inconsistent. But Sunday night is a new day, and as we saw all day on Sunday, teams can look drastically different week-to-week. So join us as the Lions try to pull of the upset and notch their first win of the season.Unsung ...&ldquo;hero&rdquo; of the week? Detroit Lions vs. New York Jets There are 17 weeks in an NFL season, and right now nobody&rsquo;s sure if that&rsquo;s a good or bad thing for Detroit Lions fans. Regardless of outcome <strong><a title="Womens Christian Jones Jersey" href="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/christian-jones-jersey">Womens Christian Jones Jersey</a></strong> , it&rsquo;s time to hand out this week&rsquo;s award for unsung hero of the week. The series highlights one player whose performance, be it throughout the whole game or in a single moment, played an important role in the Lions&rsquo; success but may not have been the most memorable. Unsung hero of the week: Sam MartinHear me out here&mdash;I know the image of Martin&rsquo;s failed tackle on Andre Roberts is burned into your memory, but just wait. When it came to punting Martin had a solid day, and frankly just not screwing up is enough to earn him this week&rsquo;s honors. Martin averaged 50.7 yards on three punts with a long of 55 yards to go with manageable hang times in the 4.4-4.7 second range. He did his job when it came to punting, but like many facets of this team the preseason struggles made a reappearance <strong><a title="Authentic Jarrad Davis Jersey" href="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/jarrad-davis-jersey">Authentic Jarrad Davis Jersey</a></strong> , this time in punt coverage.Tavon Wilson saved one punt return from a touchdown by taking down former Lion Andre Roberts in field goal range. The next punt coverage play wouldn&rsquo;t be so lucky, as Roberts tiptoed the sideline for a 78-yard return touchdown. As for tackling, it&rsquo;s obviously not Martin&rsquo;s forte. On the punt that was returned for a touchdown Martin made a valiant effort to lead Roberts out of bounds. While the results weren&rsquo;t there, it&rsquo;s worth noting that Martin&rsquo;s attempt was much closer to success than the typical tackling attempts of NFL specialists. Martin&rsquo;s true heroism came on the punt before, where he managed to impede Roberts just long enough for Tavon Wilson to come in and make the tackle. While the outcome of the next punt and just about the rest of the game was horrendous, Martin&rsquo;s spirited efforts delayed the inevitable for just a little longer. There&rsquo;s not much to celebrate <strong><a title="Authentic Frank Ragnow Jersey" href="http://www.detroitlionsteamonline.com/frank-ragnow-jersey">Authentic Frank Ragnow Jersey</a></strong> , and Martin&rsquo;s solid punting and suboptimal tackling are the closest thing to an unsung hero that the Lions had this week. Whose decent performance do you think went unnoticed? Let us know in the comments.</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[2019 NFL Draft Watch: 5 prospects to watch during Week 5]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">#12 West Virginia at #25 Texas Tech <strong><a title="Cheap Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys" href="http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-customized">Cheap Customized Detroit Lions Jerseys</a></strong> , 12:00 p.m. EST, ESPN2West Virginia QB Will Grier, 6-foot-2, 232 pounds (RS Senior)Grier is having a great start to his senior campaign, currently leading the Big 12 in passing touchdowns (14), completion percentage (74.7), yards per attempt (11.8) and passing efficiency (215.8)&mdash;he&rsquo;s also top-five in the NCAA in all of these categories.Though he wasn&rsquo;t much of a household name to start the year, Grier&rsquo;s hot start is earning him some early Heisman buzz. He has shown the ability to throw accurately in a clean pocket, but also with a defender in his face. Grier is a solid athlete and is able to escape the pocket to make plays with his feet if needed, and he has also been praised for some of his intagibles&mdash;his leadership included.If I were a betting man&mdash;and I am&mdash;I would put a sizable amount of money on the Lions drafting a QB in the later rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft. They already have professional clipboard holders backing up Matthew Stafford, but what they need is some real, honest to god talent at the backup QB spot. Grier may be available later in the draft, and would be an immediate upgrade at throwing the ball over both Matt Cassel and Jake Rudock. Texas TechS Jah&rsquo;Shawn Johnson, 5-foot-10, 185 pounds (Senior)Johnson is the heart and soul of the Texas Tech defense and you can see their struggles when they&rsquo;re missing him. When the Red Raiders got him back for their matchup against Oklahoma State in Week4&mdash;after recovering from his shoulder injury&mdash;there was a noticeable improvement all across the secondary. Here&rsquo;s what TTU head coach, Kliff Kingsbury, had to say about his defense following their win over OSU:Although a bit undersized, Johnson is sticky and plays the ball well in man coverage and is quick to close in zone, always making himself one of the first players to the ball on defense. The Lions are going to need help at safety with Quin possibly regressing and Tavon Wilson struggling at times. The front office will love Johnson&rsquo;s ability to play the pass, the run, and even provide some value as a pass rusher. He&rsquo;s as versatile as they come and would be a great addition to Patricia&rsquo;s secondary.#4 Ohio State at #9 Penn State, 7:30 p.m. EST, ABCOhio StateWell <strong><a title="www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com" href="http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com">www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com</a></strong> , we already highlighted Nick Bosa back in Week 1, and while it&rsquo;s early, I feel pretty confident right now that Bosa would be long gone by the time the Lions are on the board at the end of the first round&mdash;32nd overall pick, obviously. So let&rsquo;s focus on some other draft-eligible prospects from OSU.RB Mike Weber, 5-foot-10, 214 pounds (RS Junior)With the Lions possibly parting ways with Ameer Abdullah after this year and having LeGarrette Blount on a one-year rental&mdash;and the slight chance of maybe getting rid of Theo Riddick, who may be seen as a cap casualty to some&mdash;there is a possibility the Lions may have a hole at the RB position heading into next year&rsquo;s draft, despite trading up for Kerryon Johnson in the second round in 2018. I have a hard time believing the Lions would snag another RB in the early rounds, but I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised should they look for one a little later on.Weber&rsquo;s small stature and injury concerns could push him down into the mid-to-late rounds of the draft, and could be a solid option for the Lions if they&rsquo;re looking for extra depth. Kerryon has been lights out for the Lions in all phases of the game. Whether it&rsquo;s running up the middle, getting outside on a toss play, or setting up on a screen to utilize his speed in the open field, Johnson has done it all&mdash;including lining up as a receiver and in pass protection.Weber is a little more one-dimensional and is more of a pure runner. When he&rsquo;s healthy, he is extremely tough to bring down. He runs with a low center of gravity and has very good contact balance, often maximizing his yardage for the Buckeyes offense. If the Lions are serious about improving the run game for years to come, and are looking to get younger at the position, Weber would be a nice addition and could possibly be had in the mid-to-later rounds of the draft.IDL Robert Landers, 6-foot-1, 283 pounds (RS Junior)Landers isn&rsquo;t the type of defensive lineman that Bob Quinn or Matt Patricia have been adding recently, per se. He&rsquo;s more of an explosive pass rusher, and as you can see, not quite as heavy as the types of D-linemen the Lions have been looking for. However, while he is an exciting pass rusher and has an elite first step <strong><a title="Detroit Lions T-Shirt" href="http://www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com/t-shirts-authentic">Detroit Lions T-Shirt</a></strong> , Landers is also very strong and difficult to move at the point of attack. His hand usage is above-average, and he does a nice job of staying low to gain leverage.Landers should be available for Saturday night&rsquo;s game after dealing with an undisclosed injury and missing last week&rsquo;s win over Tulane, despite being listed as &ldquo;probable.&rdquo;Penn StateCB Amani Oruwariye, 6-foot-1, 203 pounds (RS Senior)Oruwariye has seen plenty of game action for the Nittany Lions, but this is his first year starting and has already made a name for himself notching three turnovers (two interceptions, one forced fumble) in four games. He has great size for the position, decent speed, and doesn&rsquo;t appear to be lacking as an athlete. Oruwariye is constantly glued to his receiver. Combine that with his impressive wingspan, superior leaping ability, and magnificent ball skills, he&rsquo;s got a chance to disrupt nearly every pass thrown his way.Though his calling card appears to be his ability to shut down opposing receivers in man-coverage right now, he&rsquo;s not a shy tackler by any means, and his willingness and ability to make tackles in the open field is one of Oruwariye&rsquo;s many strengths.Detroit Lions - Green Bay Packers Thursday injury report: Da&rsquo;Shawn Hand added to injury list Detroit Lions cornerback Nevin Lawson was one of four players to miss practice on Thursday. He was listed on the Detroit Lions practice report as out with an illness after being a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Guard T.J. Lang and tight end Michael Roberts, who both missed practice on Wednesday, were absent once again with the same injury. LeGarrette Blount, who sat out Wednesday with an illness, returned as a limited participant on Thursday.Linebacker Eli Harold missed the second straight practice due to a not injury related reason. It is unsure when he will return to action. Defensive lineman Da&rsquo;Shawn Hand was downgraded from being a full participant on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday as he picked up an ankle injury. The Detroit Lions are currently a very banged up team with nine players currently listed with an injury&mdash;and three players missing practice due to an injury of some sort. Their opponent today, the Green Bay Packers, are a banged up team as well. Green Bay&rsquo;s top 3 receivers are all set to miss some time with injuries and quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still struggling with a knee injury he suffered in Week 1.

	<title><![CDATA[John Elway and the Denver Broncos rocked]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">Broncos Country with the news that wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was being traded for essentially a fourth round pick to the Houston Texans on Tuesday prior to the NFL Trade Deadline.With Thomas&nbsp;<strong><a title="Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys" href="http://www.broncoscheapauthenticstore.com/customized-cheap">Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys</a></strong>&nbsp;, 30, nearing the end of his contract and on the wrong side of 30, Elway decided there was value in dealing a player who will likely end up in the franchises Ring of Fame someday. That decision was partly due to the emergence of rookie standout Courtland Sutton who is quickly coming into this own after just eight games in the NFL.&ldquo;I think that they&rsquo;ve all&mdash;Courtland&rsquo;s played very, very well,&rdquo; Elway said when asked about Sutton. &ldquo;Tim Patrick played very well last week. Emmanuel is obviously playing very well, too. We thought that this would give Courtland a chance to get out there, play more and become a bigger part of it because we think he&rsquo;s ready to go. He&rsquo;s played well up to this point in time. Hopefully this accelerates his maturity.&rdquo;However, the player that sealed the deal and the decision to move on from Thomas came down to his partner in crime on the field, Emmanuel Sanders.&ldquo;We leave Emmanuel out, he&rsquo;s had a great year,&rdquo; Elway said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s played hard, he competes, he&rsquo;s tough and a great competitor. What he&rsquo;s done has also made this decision easier.&rdquo;Sanders, 31, is the real star in 2018. He has three 100-yard receiving games so far this season and has amassed 50 receptions for 660 yards and 3 touchdowns in eight games this year. Easily eclipsing Thomas&rsquo; production of 36 receptions for 402 yards and three scores. Rookie Sutton&nbsp;<strong><a title="http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey" href="http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey">http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, already has 17 receptions for 324 yards and two touchdowns this season and figures to see his role expand exponentially moving forward. Hopefully it translates to more production on the field for the Broncos offense as reps will now be more evened out among a core of starters.Broncos vs Bears: 6 winners, 3 losers from second preseason game Yes, this is only the second preseason game, but the pressure was apparent. That sounds like hyperbole to say this early, but this time of the NFL season is all about habits and trends &mdash; good or bad. The Denver Broncos had the chance on Saturday night to show what they put on the field against the Minnesota Vikings last week would not become more than a bad game. It is only the second preseason game, but mission accomplished against the Chicago Bears.There were way more winners than losers, even in the Broncos 24-23 loss. WinnersPhillip Lindsay The undrafted free agent, fan favorite was all over the field. He showed the play-making ability as a running back, showed hints of the weapon he could be as a punt returner and was even in on a special teams tackle.One of the best ways for a young player to stand out is to do what Lindsay did against the Bears. If he didn&rsquo;t Sharpie his name onto Denver&rsquo;s roster, I don&rsquo;t know what else he could do. Courtland Sutton Man, oh, man. For all we didn&rsquo;t see out of the rookie receiver against the Vikings, Sutton and the Broncos more than made up for it on Saturday. He drew a 45-yard pass interference penalty on third down and caught a 16-yard bullet for a touchdown from Chad Kelly.Both plays exhibit the weapon Sutton could be in this offense. And the fact the Broncos were so aggressive on the play that drew the penalty is huge for this offense. You can add DaeSean Hamilton to this as well. When he and Case Keenum get their timing down, that slight overthrow in the south endzone in the first quarter is a touchdown.Kelly In his first test to become Denver&rsquo;s backup quarterback, he passed in flying colors. Kelly finished the night 7-of-9 for 90 yards and a touchdown. He carried over the swag he brought to the offense and a buzz to the game.At the very least&nbsp;<strong><a title="Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey" href="http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey">Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, Kelly got the attention of the coaches and John Elway. The key is to remain consistent and get even better. If he does that in the all-important third preseason game, Kelly is the backup. Bradley ChubbWe got a taste of what the Orange Rush will do this season when Chubb got his first sack in the NFL, which resulted in a safety. If that play doesn&rsquo;t give you all the feels of what he and Von Miller will do to quarterbacks this season, I don&rsquo;t know what to tell you. It&rsquo;s also the latest indication fans need to get and rock this awesome Orange Rush shirt.DeMarcus Walker We all know about the Orange Rush, but Walker may be the most important player on the defense this. If he&rsquo;s able to get consistent pressure from the interior of the defensive line, that makes the outside rush even better. Think back to the Broncos defense that led to the Super Bowl 50 win with Malik Jackson. If Walker is consistent, he&rsquo;ll have a huge impact for this defense. First-team offense/defenseComing into the game, I wanted to see sustained drives that ended with points and rhythm from the offense. On defense, make adjustments on run defense/limit big plays. Definitely positive developments and steps in the right direction.Losers Will Parks For nothing else than getting injured. The good news is he was walking on his own on the sideline, and Vance Joseph said after the game that it was just a contusion. No structural damage.Paxton Lynch Was else is there to say? It&rsquo;s so bad for him he got booed when he took the field. Elway and the Broncos need to move on. At this point, it&rsquo;s better for all involved. Isaiah McKenzieAfter what he showed in the first preseason game, this is tough. Yes, he was fighting for more yards and tried to make something happen, but any fumble by a guy who has issues holding onto the ball is never good for confidence. The key is how McKenzie responds after such a strong start.</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Week 4 of the 2018 NFL season continues]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id">&nbsp;with a handful of somewhat uninspiring late afternoon games.If you&rsquo;re in the New York metropolitan area the 1-2 New York Giants take on the 2-1 New Orleans Saints in a game that could feature some offensive fireworks&nbsp;<strong><a title="Womens Isaiah Crowell Jersey" href="http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/isaiah-crowell-jersey-authentic">Womens Isaiah Crowell Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, with plenty of star power at the skill positions on both sides. Elsewhere the 1-2 San Francisco 49ers, sans star quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, meet the 1-2 perennially under-performing Los Angeles Chargers in a left coast battle, the 1-1-1 Cleveland Browns try to string together two wins for the first time since Moses parted the Red Sea against the winless Oakland Raiders (isn&rsquo;t it weird to have a Browns game where the opponent is the only winless team?), and the declining 1-2 Seattle Seahawks take on the 0-3 Arizona Cardinals in the first start of the Josh Rosen era in Arizona. For those keeping track at home that&rsquo;s a grand total of one .500+ team in the four late games today. Ugh. Enjoy the games everybody. Use this thread to call &lsquo;em as you see &lsquo;em.Jets Helmet Stickers: Week 4 Yet another hard to watch game, yet another week where finding good performances in the muck is a challenge. On days like these, it would be easier to take stars away than give them out, but here we are. Let&rsquo;s look at some solid performances and try to wash the taste out before what could be a tough Sunday against a decent Broncos team:Bronze Star: WR Quincy Enunwa (4 receptions for 66 yards)There really weren&rsquo;t many players to put in this slot. Even with his stupid penalty&nbsp;<strong><a title="Womens Avery Williamson Jersey" href="http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/avery-williamson-jersey-authentic">Womens Avery Williamson Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, I have to give Enunwa credit for making some plays in an otherwise abysmal offensive performance. The Jaguars may have the best defense in the league and are especially strong against the pass, with probably the best 1-2 punch in the league at cornerback (maybe a healthy Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters could be in the conversation.) Enunwa got solid blocking on some short passes and turned them into big gains. That&rsquo;s more than I can really say for anyone else on this offense.Silver Star: S Jamal Adams (12 tackles)Despite a lot of pass coverage breakdowns, I was still impressed by Adams&rsquo; ability to fly around a football field. After failing to stop the Jaguars even once in the first half, Adams singlehandedly stopped the Jags first possession in the second half by accounting for all 3 tackles. That is the sort of playmaking ability that the Jets were looking for when they took him sixth overall last year. I&rsquo;m excited by the growth he&rsquo;s shown this season and I hope he continues to develop into a perennial Pro Bowl player and defensive leader.Gold Star: DL Henry Anderson (3 tackles, 1 sack, 2 PDs)Anderson has been one of the bright spots of this team in a rough start. Despite playing a position that doesn&rsquo;t rack up stats and results in a lot of substitutions, he&rsquo;s compiled 2.5 sacks, several tackles for a loss&nbsp;<strong><a title="Youth Brian Winters Jersey" href="http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/brian-winters-jersey-authentic">Youth Brian Winters Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, and a few batted balls. Despite the team forcing 3 turnovers, he&rsquo;s the only player I can say played a full game and made the most of all of his snaps. Despite his perceived limitations when it comes to staying healthy and rushing the passer, he&rsquo;s managed to project for 16 games and 10 sacks this year, which has to make everyone rooting for the Jets pretty pleased thus far. He&rsquo;s been close in all his games and he finally makes the list at the top billing. So there you have it, four weeks in and the table stands:Jamal Adams 5 points (2 silver, 1 bronze)Quincy Enunwa 4 points (1 gold, 1 bronze)Darron Lee 4 points (2 silver)Henry Anderson 3 points (1 gold)Avery Williamson 3 points (1 gold)Andre Roberts 3 points (1 gold)Bilal Powell 2 points (2 bronze)</div>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Back in a time where being a coach for the Seattle Seahawks]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div id="content_id"><div><div>under Pete Carroll used to mean something&nbsp;<strong><a title="Authentic Quinton Jefferson Jersey" href="http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-quinton-jefferson-jersey">Authentic Quinton Jefferson Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, Ken Norton, Jr. was hired away by Jack Del Rio to be the defensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders in 2015. Norton had spent 11 years with Carroll, including the previous five for the Seahawks as linebackers coach under Gus Bradley and Dan Quinn, with back-to-back Super Bowl appearances.When Quinn left after Seattle&rsquo;s second straight season of winning the conference, Carroll hired Kris Richard to take over as defensive coordinator, while Norton went to the Raiders. The two assistants saw their paths take different directions from that point forward, but now as things have come full circle, Norton suddenly looks to be &ldquo;ahead&rdquo; of his longtime colleague with USC and the Seahawks.But really isn&rsquo;t just about timing and talent?Oakland went 3-13 and finished 32nd in points allowed in 2014, which is why they fired Dennis Allen (and replacement Tony Sparano), and hired Del Rio. That&rsquo;s where Norton came in and he helped the Raiders improve to 22nd in points allowed, with 16 more sacks than they had the year before, and a notably better pass defense. All because of Norton, right?Probably a lot more to do with second-year linebacker Khalil Mack actually, who went from three sacks to 15. And as we&rsquo;ve seen, Mack doesn&rsquo;t need a certain coach in order to be productive. Not that the Raiders had a super talented defense (Charles Woodson, Aldon Smith&nbsp;<strong><a title="Youth Tom Johnson Jersey" href="http://www.sahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tom-johnson-jersey">Youth Tom Johnson Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, Malcolm Smith, David Amerson, Dan Williams, Mario Edwards), but they also weren&rsquo;t super good. They were just a little better.Then they weren&rsquo;t.Then in September of 2016, Del Rio reportedly took playcalling away from Norton following a terrible start to the season by the defense; they gave up over 1,000 yards over the first two games. They stopped giving up 500 yards per game, but the Oakland defense was still among the worst in the NFL, even after adding Bruce Irvin and Reggie Nelson, probably because many other starters were still very bad. The Raiders finished dead last in net yards per pass attempt allowed. They did go 12-4, but lost badly in the first round of the playoffs. Maybe it&rsquo;s a different story if not for Derek Carr&rsquo;s broken leg, but the defense still stood no shot of helping them through that gauntlet.After a 4-6 start last season, Oakland fired Norton, severing ties completely. They had forced just five turnovers in 10 games. He hit the open market as a coach who wasn&rsquo;t good enough to even improve the Oakland Raiders defense. Not a good place to be in.Luckily enough, Carroll didn&rsquo;t care about any of his Oakland issues. He knew Norton for over a decade and he knew that he had the talent for a good defense. Isn&rsquo;t that really the majority of what you need?Richard had the Seahawks back at their number one ranking for scoring defense in 2015, getting through a bad wild card game in Minnesota before losing on the road to the Carolina Panthers; they gave up 31 first half points to the Panthers but a significant problem that day was incompetence by the offense and then Seattle shut Carolina down in the second half. The Seahawks were third in points allowed in 2016&nbsp;<strong><a title="http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tre-flowers-jersey" href="http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tre-flowers-jersey">http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tre-flowers-jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, including first in yards per carry allowed. Quarterbacks had a rating of just 85 against Seattle, with only 16 touchdown passes.The Seahawks held the Detroit Lions to six in a wild card win, but again lost badly on the road in the divisional round.Things finally took a downward turn in 2017, with Seattle finishing 13th in points allowed and surrendering 30+ five times. However, there was a significant change that year: No Cliff Avril for 12 games, no Richard Sherman or Kam Chancellor for seven, Earl Thomas missed two games and was recovering from a broken leg, K.J. Wright was out for the defense&rsquo;s worst game in years.It was a lack of talent.Carroll decided to shake things up &mdash; this is more the cause for Richard&rsquo;s firing than anything, I believe &mdash; and found his old friend on the coaching free agent market. Now where are the Seahawks, Richard, and Norton?Well, somewhat quietly Norton has certainly raised his stock, hasn&rsquo;t he? Seattle is ninth in points allowed, seventh in yards allowed, fourth in net yards per pass attempt allowed, and has a top-10 ranking in DVOA again. What&rsquo;s the difference between the 2018 Seahawks and all of his Raiders defenses that weren&rsquo;t as good? Well&nbsp;<strong><a title="Chris Carson Jersey" href="http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-chris-carson-jersey">Chris Carson Jersey</a></strong>&nbsp;, Oakland had Mack, and Seattle has had an actual defense.That obviously changes now with the injury to Thomas. And if the Seahawks&rsquo; pass defense gets worse week-to-week, we&rsquo;ll know why. If Norton&rsquo;s resume goes from &ldquo;coached a top-10 defense&rdquo; to &ldquo;helped sink a top-10 defense,&rdquo; it&rsquo;ll be because he didn&rsquo;t have as much talent to end the year as he did to start it. Norton may be a great coach &mdash; whatever that even means &mdash; but coaches are only as good as the talent that they can put on the field. Bill Belichick is famous for overturning players-not-named-Brady all the time, but less talked about is the decade he&rsquo;s spent with Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung as his safeties. If the players work, they work. If they don&rsquo;t, you&rsquo;re out of a job.Richard is drawing praise for his work with the Dallas Cowboys secondary as an assistant there now, including the Pro Bowl-caliber season for Byron Jones at cornerback. Certainly Richard&rsquo;s knowledge has something to do with that, but it would be for nothing if Jones wasn&rsquo;t one an extremely special athlete with the capacity to play at this level. And eventually, Richard will get another chance as a defensive coordinator too, perhaps leading to a head coaching opportunity.His best way back there will be to continue to follow the talent.
