Few players make it over this threshold and still remain successful

In the NFL [url=http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/dont_a-hightower-jersey-authentic]Youth Dont'a Hightower Jersey[/url] , 35 is considered old. among colleagues that are in a lot of cases more than 10 years younger. However, those who do survive in the league that long are oftentimes still at the top of their game, especially at positions that pose a slightly different athletic challenge than most. The quarterback spot is the best example, and 2018 serves as a perfect reminder of that.39-year old New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and the Los Angeles Chargers’ 36-year old Philip Rivers are both in the middle of arguably their best seasons to date. The Pittsburgh Steelers’s 36-year old Ben Roethlisberger, meanwhile, and soon-to-be 35-year old Green Bay Packers passer Aaron Rodgers also still play at the same high level as they used to in their earlier days in the NFL.And then, there is Tom BradyAt 41, he is the league’s oldest quarterback (and oldest non-kicker in general) and he keeps defying expectations of what being an older play in the NFL means. Since turning 35 in the offseason leading into the 2012 season, Brady has led the New England Patriots to two Super Bowl trophies, and has won a combined three MVP awards (one regular season, two in the title game).2018 is more of the same. While Brady’s statistical output looks comparatively pedestrian when compared to his ridiculously productive last three seasons, he still is very much in the conversation as the league’s best quarterback. And even though he finds himself in unchartered territory for players his age he keeps adding to his already legendary r茅sum茅 — and according to the man himself, he plans to keep doing it.“I’d like to go till I’m 45,” Brady told NBC Sports’ Peter King after Sunday night’s victory over the Green Bay Packers and fellow old man quarterback Aaron Rodgers. “I know I said that a hundred times [url=http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/patrick-chung-jersey-authentic]http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/patrick-chung-jersey-authentic[/url] , and no one believes me. But I mean, I feel good. I could go play another game tomorrow. I know what to do. It’s fun. What else would you rather do than run out in front of 70,000 people and throw a football?”While Brady regularly pointed out his goal of playing until turning 45, he put on a more cautiously sounding tone this offseason. Of course, his remarks also left plenty of room for interpretation: he told Oprah Winfrey that he thinks about retirement more than he used to and also spoke in an interview with his own TB12 brand about “seeing the end line now.” His most recent statements, however, leave little doubt about what he wants to do.Brady being asked about hanging up his cleats is nothing new. Back in 2014, for example, the then-37-year old told WEEI that he will retire when his game is no longer up to the lofty standards he sets for himself. “When I suck, I’ll retire,” the future Hall of Famer said before continuing: “I don’t plan on sucking for a long time.” We are nine weeks into the 2018 season and Brady is still far from sucking. 45 seems to be as realistic as it has ever been. (1.) If the coverage leading into Sunday night feels more like that of a UFC title fight than a primetime football game, it’s not by accident — but it’s also not entirely by choice.A byproduct of the NFL’s incompetence with regard to having its two biggest stars face off twice per decade is that four years of Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady media coverage is needlessly jammed into a single week — or six days in the case of this year’s go-around. It’s almost understandable. With so much time passing between Packers-Patriots contests, very little meat is left on the content-bone. Rosters are thoroughly turned over. Context derived from the teams’ most recent battles isn’t pertinent, making it impossible to establish a chronology of any real substance. Narratives simply aren’t allowed to develop organically. The NFL media machine — aside from a handful of excellent local reporters and analysts — has no choice but to capitalize on the moment. As a result [url=http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/marcus-cannon-jersey-authentic]http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/marcus-cannon-jersey-authentic[/url] , the Rodgers vs. Brady motif doesn’t just become the ripest and the lowest-hanging of the low-hanging fruit — it becomes the only hanging fruit. Yet, if you give the tree a good shake, you’ll find that the NFL hasn’t just missed out on the opportunity for one or two more duels between historic quarterbacks, but that they’ve has deprived football fans of a showcase between the two most successful organizations from each conference since the turn of the century. It’s true. Since Bill Belichick took the reigns in Foxborough in 2000, the Patriots have been historically good to the point where it renders the accomplishments of other franchises undistinguished. But, over that same span, the Green Bay Packers have been the cream of the crop in the NFC.From 2000 to 2017, the Packers have an NFC-leading 178 regular season wins, the most playoff trips in the conference (13), as well as the most playoff wins (27). From 2006 — the first year of current head coach Mike McCarthy — through 2017, Green Bay leads the NFC in wins (121), postseason trips (9), playoff games (18), and Conference Championship Game appearances (4). Of course [url=http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/joe-thuney-jersey-authentic]Youth Joe Thuney Jersey[/url] , they also added a Super Bowl in 2010.The Patriots’ totals in these departments between 2000 and 2017 are obviously ridiculous. They led the NFL with:214 regular season wins15 postseason trips37 postseason games12 Conference Championship Game appearances8 Super Bowl trips5 Super Bowl titlesFor the purpose of symmetry, here are those Patriots totals between 2006-2017 (still all league-leading, or course): 151 regular season wins11 postseason trips26 postseason games9 Conference Championship Game appearances5 Super Bowl trips2 Super Bowl titles (tied with the Giants for the most since 2006)(2.) Perhaps the most fascinating components of the Packers’ success are the methods and organizational characteristics that have allowed them to sustain it — elements and approaches that bear a striking resemblance to what Bill Belichick has established in New England.One such characteristic is stability. While there are certainly a countless number of variables, and the causation is likely a bit cyclical, there is a strong correlation between winning teams and franchises that maintain long stretches of stability at their GM (or primary player personnel decision-maker) position and head coach positions. The 11 organizations to have won a Super Bowl between 2000 and 2017 averaged 169.09 wins over those 18 seasons, and just 4.36 GM-head coach combinations. The other 21 franchises averaged 132.27 wins and 8 GM-head coach combinations.Between 2000 and 2017, no NFC team had fewer such combinations than Green Bay (four), and only three teams in the league had fewer. One of those teams was the Bengals, who haven’t employed a GM in the history of their organization. The other two were Pittsburgh (two combinations), and the Patriots (Belichick).(3.) A tangible approach that each organization has taken towards roster construction has been the organic growth of the middle and upper class of their rosters. Between 2011-2017, no other team in football had more “homegrown” players — ones drafted or signed as UDFAs and developed with the organization — with cap hits that were at or greater than 1% of that year’s league salary cap. The Packers had 96 such cap hits over that 18-season span. The Patriots ranked fifth on that list with 70. The league average was 50.(4.) The number of draft picks since 2000 to be signed to multi-year extensions before or directly after the expiration of their rookie deals:Packers — 35 total, 18 from draft rounds 1-3.Patriots — 26 total, 12 from draft rounds 1-3.One could speculate that the Patriots would’ve been closer in the total number of these “homegrown” middle and upper class players, but they simply didn’t need to re-sign as many due to consistently planning ahead for the departure of players by developing depth through the draft and undrafted free agency. The Patriots have also been the most trade-happy organization in football in since Belichick’s arrival.(5.) With Patriots right guard Shaq Mason ruled out for Sunday’s contest [url=http://www.thepatriotsfootballauthentic.com/ja_whaun-bentley-jersey-authentic]Youth Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey[/url] , it marks the first time since his week eight of his rookie season that he hasn’t been active. Mason — who has been active for 54 of his first 56 career regular season games —is one third of a “homegrown” trio on the interior that includes left guard Joe Thuney and center David Andrews. It’s a unit that has been one of the more consistently-underrated in football over the past three seasons. Sunday will be just the third game since the start of 2016 in which all three won’t be on the field together.With the signing of Andrews to a three-year extension last May (a deal that might be among the best values in football), and with Mason inking a deal with $23.5 million guaranteed to keep him in Foxborough through 2023, the Patriots have two legs of their interior trio under contract through 2020. Joe Thuney, who will be eligible to negotiate a contract after the completion of this season, will carry a cap hit of roughly $2.22 million in 2019 after qualifying for the Proven Performance Escalator (PPE) — a provision in the CBA that bumps the fourth year rookie salary of a player drafted after the second round up to the level of that year’s lowest restricted free agency tender. Players can earn the PPE by participating in 35% of offensive or defensive snaps in two of his first three seasons, or by participating in 35% of all of those snaps over his first three years. According to overthecap.com, no 2016 draftee how was taken between rounds three and seven has participated in a high percentage of his unit’s snaps. The former NC State standout has participated has a 99.7% three-year average after playing in 99.6% in 2016, 99.5% in 2017, and 100% so far this year.Follow Brian Phillips on Twitter — @BPhillips_SB

2018 Patriots roster tracker:

huangjian123 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 06:08:11 +0000

Take a look at New England’s 53-man roster and practice squad after cutdown weekend One of the busiest periods of the NFL calendar is slowly coming to an end. With cutdown weekend almost over [url=http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/rex-burkhead-jersey]Womens Rex Burkhead Jersey[/url] , we now know what the core of the 2018 New England Patriots’ roster looks like. Let’s check it out:Quarterback (2): Tom Brady, Brian HoyerNo surprises at the quarterback position: Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer were the clear-cut top two entering the year, with rookie Danny Etling not showing enough over the summer to warrant a spot on the active roster. He was able to clear waivers, though, and get placed on the practice squad.Running back (5): James White, Rex Burkhead, Sony Michel, Jeremy Hill, James DevelinOne of the deepest positions on the roster, the running back corps appeared to be set in stone the moment Sony Michel suffered an injury in practice that allowed Jeremy Hill to see additional snaps and make the most out of them. Special teams ace Brandon Bolden has been released yesterday but could return at a later point.Wide receiver (6): Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, Cordarrelle Patterson, Amara Darboh, Chad Hansen, Matthew SlaterAfter cutdown day, wide receiver was the lightest position on the roster. New England has since added two more depth options through the waiver wire: Amara Darboh and Chad Hansen, two mid-round draft selections from 2017, were added to the team to give the Patriots additional bodies alongside the current top three, Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson.Tight end (3): Rob Gronkowski, Dwayne Allen, Jacob HollisterEven with Ryan Izzo getting moved to season-ending injured reserve earlier today [url=http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/danny-shelton-jersey]Authentic Danny Shelton Jersey[/url] , this is as solid a tight end group as any in the NFL – especially because of Rob Gronkowski. But even behind the league’s best player at the position, New England is deep with Dwayne Allen a strong blocker and Jacob Hollister a high-upside receiving option.Offensive line (7): Trent Brown, Joe Thuney, David Andrews, Shaq Mason, Marcus Cannon, Ted Karras, LaAdrian WaddleWhile the top five have been set since spring practices, the players behind them had to beat out their competition to earn spots on the team. Ted Karras and LaAdrian Waddle did just that, while two more linemen – Cole Croston and James Ferentz – have been added to the practice squad after getting released yesterday.Defensive tackle (4): Malcom Brown, Danny Shelton, Lawrence Guy, Adam ButlerDespite the release of former third-round draft pick Vincent Valentine, who joined New England’s practice squad earlier today, the Patriots have plenty of depth at the defensive tackle spot: Malcom Brown and Danny Shelton are the big run stuffers in the middle, with Adam Butler primarily a pass rusher. Lawrence Guy projects to be more of a versatile wild card.Defensive edge (6): Trey Flowers, Adrian Clayborn, Deatrich Wise Jr., Derek Rivers, Keionta Davis, Geneo GrissomThe defensive edge might be the most improved position group on New England’s roster when compared to the 2017 season: Adrian Clayborn, Derek Rivers and Keionta Davis were all not on the (active) team one year ago but project to play prominent snaps alongside Trey Flowers and Deatrich Wise Jr. in 2018. The Patriots keeping Geneo Grissom around behind the top six is a minor surprise [url=http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/kyle-van-noy-jersey]http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/kyle-van-noy-jersey[/url] , but the former third-round draft pick has looked solid this summer.Linebacker (5): Dont’a Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, Ja’Whaun Bentley, Elandon Roberts, Nicholas GrigsbyRookie Ja’Whaun Bentley being one of the top performers during the preseason is encouraging news for a linebacker corps that looks similar to the one the Patriots fielded last year. Getting Dont’a Hightower back makes the whole group better, and Bentley’s emergence could give it another dimension when it comes to depth and versatility.Cornerback (7): Stephon Gilmore, Eric Rowe, Jonathan Jones, Jason McCourty, Duke Dawson, J.C. Jackson, Keion CrossenOne of the deepest position groups on the team, the Patriots opted to keep seven cornerbacks around after the standout performances of rookies J.C. Jackson and Keion Crossen. The two will provide valuable depth behind starting options Stephon Gilmore and Eric Rowe.Safety (5): Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung, Duron Harmon, Brandon King, Nate EbnerWith Jordan Richards now playing for the Atlanta Falcons, Jason McCourty could potentially fill his role as the fourth safety behind the starting trio of Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung and Duron Harmon. King, who is listed as a linebacker but wears a defensive back’s number, and Ebner will meanwhile play primarily on special teams.Specialists (3): Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen [url=http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/trent-brown-jersey]Authentic Trent Brown Jersey[/url] , Joe CardonaWith rookie punter Corey Bojorquez unable to challenge Ryan Allen during preseason and now with the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots elected to keep the same three specialists for another year. Stephen Gostkowski, Ryan Allen and Joe Cardona have worked together since 2015.Practice squad (8): Danny Etling, Vincent Valentine, Ralph Webb, Riley McCarron, Jomal Wiltz, Cole Croston, James Ferentz, Trent HarrisNew England officially filled eight of its ten available practice squad spots today, using only players that have spent the entire summer with the Patriots. One of the two remaining open spots is expected to be filled by linebacker Harvey Langi further down the line.Reserve/suspended (1): Julian EdelmanEdelman will start the season on the sidelines and return after the Patriots’ week four game to further solidify a wide receiver position in flux.Injured reserve (7): Isaiah Wynn, Christian Sam, Ulrick John, Darren Andrews, Cody Hollister, Braxton Berrios, Ryan Izzo, Will TyeWhile Ryan Izzo was on the initial 53-man team yesterday, he has been placed on injured reserve earlier today. Because the move happened before today’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, the rookie – just like the other players on injured reserve – is not eligible to return off the list later this season.Week 4 Patriots vs Dolphins: New England dominates Miami with 38-7 final score The New England Patriots are looking to finally get on track, while the Miami Dolphins are looking to strengthen their already considerable grip on the AFC East. If the Patriots win, they’ll be back within striking distance of Miami and all will be well. If they lose [url=http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/patrick-chung-jersey]http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/patrick-chung-jersey[/url] , then there’s a real chance the Dolphins will have a 3-game lead in the division after a mere four games.Here’s everything you need to know about the game.Pregame ShowEarly Games Rooting GuideHigh ImportBills @ Packers: The Patriots want the Bills to lose for pretty obvious divisional reasons.Jets @ Jaguars: The Patriots want the Jaguars to win right now. Winning the division is always the most important step for New England.Low ImportTexans @ Colts: The Patriots play both teams- the Colts are next on the schedule on Thursday Night- so there isn’t much of a desire for either team to win, but they want this to be a super physical and exhausting game. A bird-in-the-hand situation suggests they want the Texans to win for the “strength of victory” tiebreaker that New England knows they have.Eagles @ Titans: The Patriots eventually play the Titans so they’ll want Tennessee to win for “strength of schedule.”Bengals @ Falcons: Because the Patriots don’t face the Bengals, go NFC team.Lions @ Cowboys: The Patriots lost to the Lions, but they want Detroit to win for “strength of schedule” purposes.No ImportBuccaneers @ Bears: This game doesn’t really matter for the Patriots.Patriots Game DetailsLive UpdatesPregame updates:There’s a “good chance” that Josh Gordon will play!Take a look at the Patriots’ inactives:Please click here for additional analysis and the Dolphins’ inactive players.Q1The Dolphins received the ball to start the game and opened up the game with a 22-yard pass to Kenny Stills. That was the only first down of the drive as the Patriots forced Miami to punt from midfield.The Patriots started from the 24-yard line and a big defensive holding call by Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard on third down set the wheels in motion for Sony Michel and the Patriots offense. Michel gained 36 yards on the next three plays before the Patriots reached the red zone. Tom Brady found Josh Gordon for 13 yards on 3rd and 6 to get to the Dolphins 3-yard line, but Miami made a goal line stand and forced Stephen Gostkowski to kick a 20-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. CBS noted that this was the Patriots first lead in 9 quarters of football.The New England defense almost forced a three-and-out but a ticky-tacky defensive holding call against Jonathan Jones gave the Dolphins a new set of downs. The Patriots forced another third down and held strong, forcing another punt. Cyrus Jones made a nice return back to the 35-yard line.Tom Brady misread the Dolphins defense as Phillip Dorsett was running an in-route as Bobby McCain dropped off from his coverage of Chris Hogan and intercepted the pass. Brady’s stats over the past five quarters: 17 of 33 (51.15%) for 163 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. Passer Rating: 50.4Q2The Patriots forced a three-and-out against the Dolphins defense as they’re putting together their best day in a long time.Tom Brady and company responded with a huge 55-yard touchdown pass to Cordarrelle Patterson and a 10-0 lead. Feel free to laugh at the above entry. Patterson is the 70th unique receiver to catch a touchdown pass from Tom Brady, tying Vinny Testaverde for the most in NFL history.ALERT: THE PATRIOTS HAVE FORCED BACK-TO-BACK THREE-AND-OUTS!The Patriots were unable to respond with the good field position, but a bad snap and handle by Ryan Tannehill allowed Kyle Van Noy to recover the football on the 20-yard line for great field position.James White took the very first play of the drive 20 yards on the ground for a touchdown and a 17-0 lead.The New England defense forced yet another three-and-out! That is three three-and-outs and a fumble recovery on the past four drives. Kyle Van Noy was outstanding on the edge on this drive, while Jonathan Jones is having an incredibly strong day in coverage.The Patriots used up the rest of the time in the first half as Sony Michel flexed on the final drive of the half. Tom Brady and company converted three third downs before Brady found Phillip Dorsett for an acrobatic 9-yard touchdown and a 24-0 lead.Oh, the Patriots get the ball after the half, too.Q3New England and Miami traded three-and-outs to start the second half.Tom Brady and company responded with a 9 play, 59-yard drive that ate up 5 minutes of the clock and resulted in a huge third down moonshot of a pass from Brady to James White. White has 84 total yards and 2 touchdowns today as he’s become the engine of the offense.Since I made fun of Brady’s statline: 15/22 (68.2%) for 176 yards and 3 touchdowns. Passer rating: 131.8J.C. Jackson intercepted Ryan Tannehill on his next drive to set the Patriots up on their own 10-yard line. Q4Sony Michel recorded the first 100-yard game of his career as the Patriots marched down the field to the and Michel punched in a 10-yard scamper for a 38-0 win. Michel has 112 yards on the day.John Simon recorded a big third down sack of Ryan Tannehill to force another punt. Cyrus Jones returned it to the 43-yard line.Brady found Chris Hogan to get the ball to the 28-yard line of the Dolphins (why is Brady still in the game?) but then Brady threw a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb interception to Minkah Fitzpatrick as he was about to be sacked. This is the second time today that Brady decided to throw an interception instead of eating the sack. Get Brady out of the game.And in garbage time, Frank Gore rumbled down the field and Brock Osweiler threw him a touchdown pass to narrow the lead to 38-7.Brian Hoyer kneeled out the clock.

How will yesterday’s win against the Colts

The win did not only bring the team back to .500 on the year, it also had an impact on how the fanbase views it.The Patriots’ 38-7 win against the Dolphins gave the team the biggest confidence jump in the league in our weekly FanPulse survey: while only 31% of fans participating still felt confident in the direction the team was headed after its week three loss in Detroit, the number jumped to 73% following the Dolphins game:After having the least confidence fanbase in the AFC East one week ago, the Patriots are now back on top in the division:How will yesterday’s win against the Indianapolis Colts – one during which the team looked unstoppable at times but also struggled with sloppy play in the third quarter – impact the Patriots’ confidence score?

The New England Patriots played arguably their most complete game of the season against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night — and one big reason for that was the execution on both sides of the football. While the offense was efficient despite missing three starters due to injury, the defense played perfectly complementary football: the pass rush made life hard for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, while the secondary covered well.The pass rush in particular is something Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was happy about [url=http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-eric-rowe-jersey]Eric Rowe Jersey[/url] , as a new NFL Films clip shows.

Safe to say, that it is everything you would expect from him being mic’d up.NFL Films also produced a clip for Showtimes’ Inside the NFL [url=http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-david-andrews-jersey]Authentic David Andrews Jersey[/url] , one that was shared by r/patriots and can be watched here.

Minnesota Vikings release Craig James

huangjian123 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 03:22:32 +0000

Vikings Roster Cuts: We have some more roster cuts to report for the Minnesota Vikings Minnesota Vikings Hoodie , as they trim their roster down to the NFL-mandated 53-man limit by 3:00 PM Central today.Per numerous sources, the Vikings have parted ways with cornerback Craig James.(No, not the Craig James that. . .well, you know the story.)James was undrafted out of Southern Illinois, and signed with the Vikings after a mini-camp that the team held in May. He got some opportunities as a return man in addition to seeing some snaps at cornerback, but he apparently didn’t do enough to stick on the 53-man roster.No indication to this point one way or another if the Vikings are interested in bringing him back to the practice squad, but I would be slightly surprised if that were the case.We’re still two hours away from the Vikings needing to have their 53-man roster finalized, and there are still plenty of decisions to be made. We’re tracking all of them for you right here, so stay tuned to see what happens!Minnesota Vikings Injury Report: Team is healthy heading to Green Bay Through the preseason and one game Cheap Customized Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , the Minnesota Vikings are about as healthy as anyone could expect as they head into their big early season showdown with the Green Bay Packers.Although DE Everson Griffen appeared on the injury report yesterday with a toe, he’ll play. CB Mac Alexander, who missed last week’s opener, and starting CB Trae Waynes, who went out in the second quarter with a knee injury, will also play. As a matter of fact, the only player that won’t suit up is C Pat Elflein, who was officially ruled out:That’s it. And according to the team, he’s expected back soon http://www.authenticsminnesotavikings.com/cheap-andrew-sendejo-jersey , and according to Mike Zimmer, is ‘very close’ to returning. In the most recent injury report for the Green Bay Packers, though, things are a bit different, as they have two big injuries they’re dealing with right now. WR Davante Adams was a limited participant in practice, but seems to be improving. Of course the big news is the status of QB Aaron Rodgers, who heroically led the Green Bay Packers to a stirring lucky victory after losing both legs in the Battle of Passchendaele injuring his knee in the first half against the juggernaut 53 man choke job that is Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears: Khalil Mack could’ve made that throw, I bet...

Report: Injury updates for Trae Waynes;

huangjian123 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 03:19:46 +0000

Collins to IR and replacement signed In his weekly press conference Minnesota Vikings Hats , Mike Zimmer gave us a bit of an update on the injury front. And...we have good news and bad news. First, the good news:Yay! Both Waynes and nickel CB Mac Alexander missed all or most of yesterday’s game, so getting at least Waynes back this week will help now that it’s Packers week, and Aaron Rodgers awaits.Now, the bad news:Boooo!! Collins will be put on IR with an elbow injury he sustained last week during practice, yet in the ‘Well That Was Fast’ Department, the Vikings announced they have already signed his replacement:This stinks for Collins, who I thought showed some promise at times this preseason. He was inconsistent, but less so than some other guys that were fighting for starting jobs and roster spots. He also showed versatility, playing at both guard and tackle.Witzmann played in all 16 games last year Minnesota Vikings Hoodie , and started 13 at left guard for the Kansas City Chiefs, so he brings starting experience and perhaps more stability to a line that has really been looking for it in the wake of injuries to Nick Easton and Pat Elflein.The Vikings brought in Witzmann for a workout last week, and liked what they saw, apparently. Last year with the Chiefs, he posted a total PFF grade of 53.4, with a run grade of 54.6 and a pass block grade of 60.7.Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams: Fourth quarter open thread Trailing by a score of 28-20 coming out of the locker room, the Minnesota Vikings had to kick the ball to the Los Angeles Rams, as the Rams deferred to the second half after winning the opening coin toss. Dan Bailey once again launched one for a touchback, and the Rams started out from their own 25-yard line. After another big gain from Jared Goff to Cooper Kupp, Danielle Hunter got the first sack of the game for either team to stall the Los Angeles drive. The Rams went for a fake punt from the Minnesota 36-yard line www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com , but Johnny Hekker’s long pass fell incomplete, and the Vikings got a huge break.The Vikings converted yet another third down, as Kirk Cousins found Stefon Diggs for a nice gain into Los Angeles territory at the 46. After Adam Thielen had to come off the field for a medical timeout after taking a hard shot, the Vikings failed to convert on third down, and Matt Wile came on to punt with Kupp fair catching the punt at the Rams’ 15.The Rams connected on a 57-yard screen pass to Todd Gurley (that was chased down by Danielle Hunter), and the play was originally flagged for a block in the back against Andrew Sendejo, but the flag was picked up because reasons. Holton Hill made a nice play on a run play to Kupp to create a five-yard loss. That was enough to stall the Rams’ drive, as they had to call on Sam Ficken for a 34-yard field goal attempt. He connected, and extended the Los Angeles lead to 31-20 with about five and a half minutes left in the third quarter.Ficken put the ball through the end zone for another touchback, and the Vikings started at their own 25 again. Cousins then threw a ball that went off of the hands of Rams’ cornerback Sam Shields and into the hands of Stefon Diggs for a first down near midfield. Cousins found Diggs again for a short gain Minnesota Vikings T-Shirt , and on the next play Cousins found Thielen for a big 45-yard touchdown! Minnesota went for two following the touchdown, and Cousins found Latavius Murray for the conversion to make it 31-28.We actually had a kickoff return on the ensuing kickoff, as Blake Countess took the ball from the goal line and took it to. . .the 25-yard line. The Rams quickly advanced to near midfield on a run by Todd Gurley and a pass from Jared Goff to Robert Woods. Wood and Goff connected again, this time for more points for the Rams as Anthony Barr was in coverage again for a 31-yard score. Ficken hit the extra point, and the Rams’ lead was back to 10 at 38-28.The Vikings got the ball at their own 25 again after another touchback with about a minute left in the quarter. Cousins found Thielen again for a 14-yard gain and a first down, and as we move to the final quarter of play, the Vikings are look at 2nd-and-8 from their own 41-yard line.Fifteen minutes of football left at the Coliseum, ladies and gentlemen, and the Vikings trail the Rams by a score of 38-28. Can the purple mount what would be a pretty sweet comeback?

Vikings’ NFC North Rivals: Teams have finalized their rosters Minnesota Vikings Womens T-Shirt , and players can finally breathe a sigh of relief - they’re either playing football or looking for a new job.The NFC North was a whirlwind of activity this past week - and almost none of it had to do with action on the field of play.The intrigue happened mostly in the front offices.Aaron Rodgers signed a monstrosity of a backloaded deal that will keep him in Green Bay for at least a few years.And the Bears weren’t about to be outdone, getting a deal done with the Oakland Raiders for former Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack.The Detroit Lions, meanwhile, signed versatile safety Quandre Diggs (No Relation) to a ho-hum three year, 20.4 million dollar contract.I say ho-hum not because it’s an insignificant amount, but because all of a sudden, twenty million dollars just seems fairly pedestrian these days.Why, oh why, couldn’t I have been born athletic instead of good-looking, charming and talented?Chicago BearsSkipping over the Khalil Mack deal momentarily, the Bears roster moves went off largely as predicted.No real unexpected names, and really no “let’s jump at the chance to sign this guy” moments, either.As far as the depth chart is concerned, the only real surprise that I see is the fact that rookie James Daniels is listed as the sole backup at all three interior O-Line positions, and the Bears kept only seven O-Linemen.For a team with so much invested in their QBOTF, Mitchell Trubisky, that just seems like a pretty big risk.On the defensive side of the ball, the addition of Mack really does add quite a bit of punch.Vic Fangio is no dummy, and now he has players that fit his needs all over the field.I’d give the Bears a very solid second place in the NFCN as far as defenses go, behind only the Vikings.Now, on to the Mack signing.The Bears gave up first round picks in 2019 and 2020 in order to get Mack, then had to turn around and sign him to a six year, $141 million contract, with $90 million of that guaranteed.This season, however, will be played under his fifth year option, paying him “only” $13.8 million (see, there’s that whole ho-hum feeling again!).What folks in Chicago don’t seem to want to talk about is the fact that, according to the folks at Over The Cap, there’s a strong possibility that Mack never sees the end of this contract.The last three years’ dead money goes from 6.8 million, to zero, to zero again.And Mack, who will be 33 years old at the end of the deal, will have a cap hit of 24, 22, and 23 million dollars those last three years.The deal seems to be making Bears fans happy, and I certainly get it.But for a team that seems to be a couple years away from contending, it seems like they’re going all in right now.The Bears open their season on Sunday Night Football in Green Bay.Not-afraid-to-make-a-prediction Prediction: Green Bay wins the game, Ridgers throws three TD passes Minnesota Vikings Hats , and the universe goes bananas because Rodgers is “back”.Detroit LionsThe Lions - who can already boast a pretty impressive starting offensive line of Taylor Decker, TJ Lang, Graham Glasgow, Frank Ragnow, and Ricky Wagner - ended up keeping 10 (ten!) offensive linemen, including Joe Dahl (who I mentioned in last week’s recap).Considering the Bears, Vikings, and Packers all have needs along the offensive line in one form or another, that almost seems like a defensive move.Lions Twitter got all riled up about Khalil Mack, as well.Local Radio host Dan Leach dug deep into his sources to try and break a story that Khalil Mack was heading to Detroit.Leach was definitely out to lunch on this one, but may have earned himself fourteen and a half years worth of free sandwiches, so there may be some consolation for him.The Lions open their season in a Monday Night must-see TV matchup, hosting the New York Jets.Not-afraid-to-make-a-prediction Prediction:The Lions win this one handily, as the Jets turn the ball over several times, and the New York media begins calling for Sam Darnold’s head on a platter.Green Bay PackersOK, I know he didn’t actually wear that outfit to the signing.But, seriously.Ughh... he’s just... such a...Oh, by the way, the Packers signed Aaron Rodgers to a new, 134 million dollar deal, with $78 Million of that guaranteed.It’s a pretty team-friendly deal, too - assuming Rodgers can be healthy and productive until he’s 40 years old.And he will, because鈥?Packers. The Packers will be on the hook for a total of $103 million in Cap space or, perhaps, $68 million in dead money in the years Rodgers turns 37, 38, and 39 years old.I guess that’s a plus for the rest of the division.On cutdown day, the team released - with an injury settlement - veteran defensive back - and fan NOTfavorite - Quinten Rollins.Rollins had slowly fallen out of favor with Packer fans since being drafted in the second round in 2015.The only player from the 2015 Packers draft class who will be on the roster to start the season is wide receiver-turned-running back Ty Montgomery, who is listed second behind starter Jamaal Williams, who is starting in place of the suspended Aaron Jones.Another player during camp that moved the needle for Packer fans - but this time in a good way - was Wide Receiver Jake Kumerow.Kumerow, dubbed ‘The Great Whitewater Hope’ has bounced around the league for a couple of years, landing on Cincinnati’s, New England’s, and Green Bay’s practice squads.In fact, there’s a pretty incredible story about him, which can be found here, that I truly encourage you to check out (no sarcasm font neccesary.It really is a good read).Yes, UW-Whitewater is in Packerland, so that kind of makes Kumerow a “local” to Packers fans Minnesota Vikings Womens Hoodie , but his story is much more than that..Unfortunately, Kumerow was placed on IR-Designated to Return, which means there’s no hope (Whitewater, or otherwise) of seeing him until week 8 at the earliest.As stated above, the Packers open their season at Lambeau on Sunday night versus the Chicago Bears.Not-afraid-to-make-a-prediction Prediction:The Pack will win (see above).Kirk Cousins is not who you think he is A few days after Kirk Cousins signed his precedent-setting contract with the Minnesota Vikings, I received a phone call from a number I didn’t recognize.Like any normal person, I didn’t answer it. Because duh who doesn’t screen their phone calls these days, amirite? Yet, the same number called again just a few minutes later, and this time they left a voicemail. When I hit ‘play’, a nervous, almost scared voice was at the other end.“I’m risking a lot by leaving this voicemail, but your new QB isn’t who you think he is. If you want to know more, meet me at the Historic Adventist Village in Battle Creek, MI, next Wednesday. 3 PM sharp. I’ll find you. Quit screening your calls, and DELETE THIS MESSAGE!”Click.I returned the call, and the number had already been disconnected. But there was something about that voice, the desperation in it, maybe, that intrigued me. I mean, who DOESN’T want to go to the museum about the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Battle Creek MI, just for giggles if nothing else? So, I headed out. My life was about to change forever, and things I felt certain about I now question. But before I can tell that story, I must tell you this one first. Who could think everything you’ve ever come to question would begin in a place like Battle Creek, MI?As I’m walking through the Adventist Center, looking at the painting of that dude that looks like a bald Col. Sanders, I was thinking ‘man I hope this town has a Kentucky Fried Chicken because I’m hungry af right now’, someone came up to me from behind.“Keep walking, and whatever you do, don’t swear”, said the voice.“Why Not?”“Because it’s a museum about the Seventh Day Adventists, you idiot.”The word ‘idiot’ drew half a dozen cross looks from the staff that made this Missouri Synod Lutheran proud and I smiled just a little bit, although all the subterfuge and cloak and dagger stuff was making me a bit uneasy. But I complied and my contact led me outside, and once there we walked about a block with no words being spoken.Holy crap I really wanted some KFC right about now. I kinda had to pee, too. I have to pee when I get nervous.“Okay”, he said. “Turn around. We’re safe here.”I turned to meet my contact. An unremarkable person, in an unremarkable town Womens Customized Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , in an unremarkable state. But what a remarkable story he was about to tell me. We introduced ourselves, and I promised this person that I wouldn’t reveal their identity. Your secret is safe with me, Frank. I’ll take it to the grave.“Look’” he began, “I know you guys are pretty happy with Kirk Cousins, your new quarterback. But let me tell you, he’s not the guy he’s made himself out to be. Not even close.”“What do you mean?” I asked. “He’s more ‘aw shucks’’ than Joe Mauer. This is a big nothing burger, which is probably what Cousins puts on his. Because God Forbid he do anything wild and crazy like put ketchup on a burger”, I said more than a bit sarcastically.I turned away to head back to my car because MAN I WANT SOME ORIGINAL RECIPE IN MAH BELLY RIGHT NOW, and my source, who I’ll call Sparty Throat, yelled “but I have proof!”I stopped, and turned to meet his gaze.“Proof, you say? Let me see.”“Plain hamburgers, huh? Take a look at this.”Sparty Throat opened the man purse European Shoulder Bag he was carrying, pulled out a picture, and handed it to me. At first glance, it was Cousins eating a burger. But...there was more. I couldn’t believe my eyes. “That’s not a plain burger”, I said. “That looks...loaded. Dragged through the garden loaded. Tomato, onion, lettuce, and a ketchup and mustard bottle, too. Damn, man. That’s pretty nuts. It’s a lot of things, but ‘plain’ is the last word I would use.”Then I noticed...it.“Mother of God...”, as my voice tailed off.“A fried egg? Yes it is. And cheese.” Sparty Throat was smiling now as he saw the look of revelation come across my face. “And I have more pictures like this. Lots more.”All of a sudden his desire to meet at a Seventh Day Adventist museum was clear—he was sending a message. And he was doing so in kind of a smart ass, ironic sort of way, which I can fully appreciate.“Okay, you have my attention. Let’s see where this takes us.”“You don’t know the half of it. This squeaky clean, boring guy image he protrays? No. Not even close. Kirk is nothing like that when the cameras aren’t rolling. Are you sure you want to keep going?”“Yeah, let’s do this.”He brought out another picture.“Take a look at this one”, as he thrust his smelly Michigan paw towards me.I looked, and didn’t really see anything.“I don’t see the big deal with this one,” I half muttered. “It’s just a picture of Cousins eating a bowl of plain oatmeal, probably made right here in Battle Creek.”“Look closer,” Sparty Throat said, almost mockingly. “Next to the bowl. And then look closely at the oatmeal box.”I blinked, then stared. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I closed my eyes, rubbed them with my thumb and forefinger. Sighed, then opened them. Looked again. Harder this time. What was I missing?Then I saw it. Are you sure? Yes www.vikingscheapshops.com , I was sure...it was unmistakable.“Sugar. He put sugar on his oatmeal. And it looks like the oatmeal is a made in China knock off brand.”“Yes!” Sparty Throat exclaimed. “Do you see now? He’s a fraud! His whole image is a fraud, a persona.”He quickly spun his head around, like he was looking for something, someone.“What’s the matter? Are you waiting to meet someone else, get us in to a bidding war? Because let me tell you something, I’m a blogger. I don’t make shit. I mean, I write shit, create shit—terrible, awful shit (Ed note: AHEM), but I can’t pay you the kind of money you’re probably going to be asking for.”“No. No no no, it’s not that. Kirk has spies everywhere. If he knew we were talking, my life would be over.”“Wait, Kirk Cousins would have you killed?”“No. But he would sabotage my life in ways that I can’t begin to describe.”“Try me.”“Well, at the next church social, we have to all bring a tater tot casserole (ED. note: It’s casserole, not hot dish, you Jacobins) of some kind. It wouldn’t be above Kirk to swap out my award winning sausage and cheese casserole with a tuna noodle casserole...with no potatoes or tater tots in it at all. Just noodles.”“Jesus Christ. Tuna noodle casserole? That’s heinous. With peas, too?”“Two cans instead of one.”“What kind of monster is this guy?” I asked as I let out a long, low whistle.“There’s a good chance he wouldn’t have even cooked the tuna all the way through, and would have pulled the noodles out of the water a few minutes early, so they’re still just a little bit crunchy.”“My God, you’d be ruined.”“Yeah. I could never show my face in that church again, and I’d probably have to move, too.”Sparty Throat got quiet, pensive. A look of sadness came across his face, and I felt sympathy for the man, and the situation he was in.“That’s Kirk, though. He’s got a personality, and a sense of humor. Look, go to Ypsilanti. There’s a Midas shop there, ask for Bob. He’s worked on Kirk’s conversion van for years. He’ll tell you a story or two about Kirk. And you do with that information what you will. I have to go. His spies are everywhere.”And with that, he was off.And I was off to Ypsilanti, because I had to get the truth,* the whole truth,** and nothing but the truth.****If you guys haven’t figured out this is a parody, don’t take an IQ test. You’ll be disappointed.**Seriously, completely made up.***Tuna casserole is the worst casserole though, that’s 100% true.

The Saints managed to hold on just long enough

to get a W that was hand gifted to them by the unfortunate kicker for the unfortunate Browns. While the team improved in some areas Cheap Alex Anzalone Jersey , they still have a lot to work on if they want to be playing in January. Limit Big Plays Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsThe defense slightly resembled their 2017 counterparts and performed much better in key areas. Firstly, they limited the big plays this week, giving up only three passes of 20 or more yards. This was something they struggled with against Tampa Bay, as DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans were able to get deep on them all game. The defensive line was also able to get more of a push at the line of scrimmage, as well as pressure Tyrod Taylor multiple times, including two sacks by team captain Cameron Jordan. They limited Carols Hyde to only 43 rushing yards, and did an excellent job at containing any rushing attempts by Tyrod Taylor, minus the two plays where he was able to break free. 3rd down efficiency One of the main areas of concern for the offense last year reappeared in this game, as the Saints went 3-of-12 on 3rd down conversions. Cleveland was able to consistently bring pressure on 3rd downs, sacking Brees 3 times. Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi gave the interior offensive line fits all day http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/tyeler-davison-jersey-authentic , and racked up two sacks (he had a third that was wiped away by a penalty). Converting on 3rd downs are crucial, as it can keep your defense off the field; and that may be a good thing while the defense gets into season form.Where’s the run?Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsA key component of this team’s success last season was the efficiency of the run game. Kamara and Mark Ingram were the most dynamic duo the NFL had ever seen, but without Ingram the Saints have been held to 105 yards for a measly 2.56 YPC (yards per carry). Granted, part of that is the team falling behind so early in the games. Perhaps Sean Payton will change things schematically for the run game, or they could call Boston Scott up from the practice squad and see what the duo of he and Kamara look like together. No matter what happens, this is an area that needs to improve and fast. The Falcons have a high scoring offense and the less time they are on the field the better. Thomas, Kamara, etc.Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsThere’s a reason we call him “Can’t Guard Mike.” Through the first two weeks, he is leading the team in receptions and has broken the record for most receptions in the first two games with an impressive 28 catches on 30 targets. He is arguably the best wide receiver Brees has had his entire career, and has been a large reason the Saints have stayed competitive in the first two games. Right behind him is the reigning offensive rookie of the year Alvin Kamara with 15 catches. The two have combined for 43 receptions in the first two weeks http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/terron-armstead-jersey-authentic , which accounts for over 66% of all the output from the passing attack. Much like the one dimensional run game, the passing game needs to see someone else step up and contribute. Thomas will face some great cornerbacks later in the season, and if he is taken out of a game the offense needs to continue to move the ball. This week will be the Saints toughest match yet. The Falcons boast a speedy defense and top 10 offense that will test both sides of the ball for us, but improving in some critical areas will get us back on track and “prove them right.” Saints NewsSaints' Payton focuses on accountability after stunning loss | Football | stltoday.comMETAIRIE, La.

Instead, the team has to cut the player or put them on injured reserve.Which Newcomer to the Saints Offense Will Have the Biggest Impact in 2018? The New Orleans Saints have had one of the NFL's best offenses since Sean Payton took the reigns as head coach in 2006. One of the things that made the New Orleans passing offense so dangerous was the depth of their talent. Quarterback Drew Brees often liked to spread the ball around to as many as five or six different receiving threats, all of whom had the capability to be a factor in the outcome of a game. The 2017 season was a bit of a different story. Second year wide receiver Michael Thomas established himself as one of the top receivers in the league, making his first of probably many Pro Bowl berths with a team-record 104 catch season for 1,245 yards and 5 touchdowns. Rookie running back Alvin Kamara added 81 catches for 826 yards on his way to offensive rookie of the year and his first Pro Bowl berth. Ted Ginn Jr. provided an expected big play threat, even in his 11th season, and was also a better all-around wideout than at any point in his career. The Saints got very little production consistently from their other pass catchers last year, however, prompting Payton to highlight this area as one of the team's biggest offseason focuses. Today we take a look at three players that New Orleans brought in to give additional targets for quarterback Drew Brees. Cameron Meredith, WRPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesMeredith was signed away from the Chicago Bears this offseason as a restricted free agent. He was the Bears leading receiver in 2016, his second season, with 66 receptions for 888 yards and 4 touchdowns. Coming into 2017 http://www.thesaintsfootballauthentic.com/wil-lutz-jersey-authentic , Meredith was considered to be one of the league's up and coming wideouts, until a devastating knee injury sustained in the preseason ended his season. He's a big receiver (6'3, 207-lbs.) with the speed to make plays downfield, and can be a factor from both the slot and outside. Ted Ginn Jr. had a nice season opposite star receiver Michael Thomas, but Meredith is considered the early favorite to take over the number two receiving duties. He is a physical receiver that will win most battles in the middle of the field, but has the athleticism to be a threat along the sideline and down the field. We won't see much from Meredith during team OTA's and mini-camp as he finishes out his rehab, but all indication is that he will be ready for preseason. All eyes are on how quickly Meredith makes a full recovery from his knee injury, and he does have just one season of productivity, but he looks to be the ideal number two compliment to Thomas in a Saints offense who's complimentary targets struggled to consistently produce a year ago. Tre'quan Smith, WRDerick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsThe Saints drafted Smith in the 3rd round, the 91st overall pick, from Central Florida this spring. Smith led UCF in receptions and yardage in all three of his seasons with the Knights, scoring 22 career touchdowns. He has prototypical NFL size (6'2, 203-lbs.) with excellent down field speed. Smith accelerates quickly into his routes, and has outstanding body control to adjust tothe ball in mid-air. He is expected to be an immediate deep threat for New Orleans, and shows the potential to be a devastating intermediate weapon for a Saints offense that struggled on 3rd downs last season. Smith's likely role, at least initially, will be primarily as an outside receiver. He will get alot of snaps against the Saints' first team defense throughout OTA's and mini-camp to showcase his abilities, while Meredith works his way back from a knee injury. His gamebreaking potential and ability on sideline routes can stretch an opposing defense both vertically and along the boundaries Youth Drew Brees Jersey , also opening up short and intermediate routes for the Saints other receivers. Benjamin Watson, TEPhoto by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesWatson returns to New Orleans as a free agent, after playing for the team from 2013-15. The 37-yr. old veteran had the best season of his 14-yr. NFL career with the Saints in 2015, catching 74 passes for 825 yards and six touchdowns. After departing to the Baltimore Ravens in free agency, Watson missed the '16 season with injury, but bounced back nicely last year with 61 receptions for 522 yards and 4 scores. He still has the athleticism to threaten the defense on seam routes, and is a trusted target for quarterback Drew Brees, particularly on 3rd downs and near the end zone. Watson is also one of the best blocking tight ends in the league, and will still be expected to be an every down contributor for the Saints offense due to his versatility. He is a major upgrade to a tight end unit that produced little for New Orleans in the 2017 season. Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsPrior to 2017, the Saints offense had finished in the top 5 of the league in 3rd down percentage in ten of Sean Payton's first eleven years as head coach, and first in the NFL over the last three seasons. Last year's New Orleans offense dropped to just 19th in 3rd down percentage. The acquisitions of Meredith, Smith, and Watson were made specifically to improve that ranking. The Saints moved on from wideout Willie Snead and tight end Coby Fleener after disappointing 2017 campaigns. The team re-signed Brandon Coleman, who has the trust of Brees and will provide quality depth, as will returning tight end Josh Hill. Kamara and Thomas are as dangerous as any offensive players in the league, but the Saints now look to have a deeper and more talented pass receiving corps for their Hall of Fame quarterback, perhaps making a very productive offense into an elite championship caliber unit.
