It ain’t spring, it’s hope! Hope returns to Broncos CountryKirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsWhen the season ended, I like many of you, was relieved the shambling mess that was the 2018 Denver Broncos collapsed in a smoldering heap. Coach Vance Joseph was clearly out of his element, Case Keenum left his baller cleats in Minnesota, and dark clouds hung over a franchise that, for the first time in decades, notched back-to-back losing seasons.Broncos Country now finds itself in the later half of March and things are vastly different. Gone is the frustrated and ineffective coach. Gone is Case Keenum, taking his unique brand of check-down terribleness to the Washington Redskins (consider it Elway’s payback for the Super Bowl XXII beatdown). The 2019 schedule isn’t even out, but something feels different already... and no it has nothing to do with Pat Bowlen and Champ Bailey going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this August. Putting the emotional baggage Broncos Country has against Joe Flacco aside for a moment, it’s hard to deny that Keenum’s dismissal and Joe’s arrival is a net positive for the offense. I’m not going to swing wide and say how big an improvement, but it would be shocking for Denver’s offense to be even worse than it was in 2018.Kareem Jackson?! Bryce Callahan?! I’ll be honest, before free agency started, I wouldn’t have been able to point either one of those guys out of a lineup. You could say I was too concerned with raging dumpster fire in Denver to look up and see what was going on with other teams around the league. However, since they signed, I have taken time to see with my own eyes, and Joe Flacco Jersey , these guys are incredible additions to an already solid defense. Ja’Waun James you say? I like what I’ve heard and am hopeful for the Broncos perennially awful offensive line. It’s tough with linemen since nobody really notices them until get penalized or completely screw-up... Or open massive holes for running backs. Outside of Phillip Lindsay’s terrific year last year, it’s been too damn long for Broncos Country to go without noticing stellar line play in the running game. However, with the addition of Mike Munchak, offensive line woes are reported to be a thing of the past. Phillip Lindsay has to be thrilled. Things just feel different under Vic Fangio. I’m terrified of letting him down and I’m a lowly blogger who has zero interaction with the team, staff, janitorial, or pretty much anyone else outside of twitter. I can’t imagine what the players must feel when he coaches them. Discipline and respect were lacking in recent seasons and it’s great to see those tenets of Broncos football have returned in Vic Fangio’s form. Lastly, I absolutely love how he says Broncos... “Brancos”...Vowel confusion is totally acceptable when it sounds tough coming through a thick Chicago accent. Buckle up Broncos fans! The draft is right around the corner and things are just getting going.

Sign me up. Denver should draft high character playersThomas B. Shea-USA TODAY SportsIt’s the time of year when we get to read, listen to and talk about the 2019 draft ad nauseam with almost zero actual idea of what will happen. It’s a fun time of guessing, hypothesizing and falling in love with certain players who have at best a 50-50 chance of succeeding in the NFL. This is a tough league and there is only one certainty that comes out of each and every draft - nothing is certain. GMs and their staffs fail over and over and over in their attempt to find talent in each level of the draft and yet they keep their jobs and are granted another year or more to pick names out of a hat and slap them on their “wish list”. Of course, a lot goes into scouting players, watching film and interviewing guys by asking really stupid questions but with such consistent inconsistency it really doesn’t seem like a big exaggeration to say that you and I could be just as good at seeing NFL talent/intelligence in college players than these “pros”. The key word here is intelligence and it’d be fitting to add the words character or perhaps “football player” as well. Scouts and GMs and football nerds can spend countless hours in watching film and say which players are the fastest, quickest, strongest or baddest but they can’t seem to be able to recognize the players that have “it.”The “it” factor is vitally important to finding athletes who will be successful in the top level of football and discovering this and elite physical talent in a young player seems to be nearly impossible. John Elway has apparently realized the importance of “it” and intelligence in young players DeMarcus Ware Jersey , and in 2018 he brought in a group of what appears to be really smart and skilled guys. We should all hope that in doing his research he will find the same success in 2019 and other future drafts. Now, who do I think will be the right fit at #10 in terms of ability and character? Of course it’s a crap-shoot as always but I’ll throw out three names that both make some sense and have been rumored to have peeked the interest of the big wigs at Dove Valley. Devin WhiteWhite is a guy I have liked since the regular season ended and the discussion about this draft class began. He’s crazy fast and athletic for an ILB and won the Butkus award as the top LB in the NCAA last season. He was also a full-time captain for his sophomore season and thus clearly shows the ability to be a leader both on and off the field. Love it. Drew LockI have not been so hot about Lock, but he does appear to be a guy with very good leadership skills and a fantastic personality. He is a media darling and would be a really good “face of the franchise” and that together with his big arm and ability to make all the throws does, in fact, put him on my list of guys the Broncos should look at. That said, I firmly believe that he’s not a top-ten talent and I don’t think that the Broncos will select him that high.Ed OliverOliver may be my favorite personality in the whole list of top 10 candidates. He claims that his absurd strength and toughness come from “being a country boy” and working with horses since he was a kid. He’s a big-nasty guy, but many experts think he hasn’t even scratched the surface of his abilities, and with proper coaching, he could become a monster talent. He’s humble, hard-working and perfectly fits my idea of a guy with the right “locker-room morality.” Oliver would do things the right way and that would be a great addition to this team.Of course there are many other players who could fall to 10 that may fit the bill and there’s always the possibility that the team trades back in the draft. But these are three guys that very possibly may be the future star of the Denver Broncos.Who would you pick?MHR Radio is now on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Acast, Stitcher,TuneIn and anywhere else you get your podcasts.

With two third round picks, one being from the Antonio Brown trade, the team spent their first on a little-known player from Toledo named Diontae Johnson.While fans puzzled over the selection, wide receiver coach Darryl Drake gushed over the player the Steelers selected with their second pick in the draft process.This is what Drake had to say at the introductory press conference after the selection was made:Talk about some high praise from a very accomplished coach who has been around the likes of Antonio Brown. JuJu Smith-Schuster and Larry Fitzgerald. But for Johnson, his overall excitement started the day he met Drake, and when he visited the Steelers on an official pre-draft visit. “I love the place. I like the energy from Coach Tomlin and the general manager around the building. I just felt like I was already on the team once I stepped foot in the building.” Johnson said in a conference call the day he was drafted.Johnson feels he can be a great weapon for the Steelers David DeCastro Jersey , considering he doesn’t just play special teams as a return man, but can play inside and outside within the offense.“Playing both really because I can play both in and out. Me being able to do that gives me another weapon on offense.” Johnson added.To say Johnson is excited to not just be drafted, but to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, might be one gigantic understatement. He realizes what he is now a part of, and seems eager to get his start at the NFL level.Check out the video below where Johnson sits down with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews to talk about his NFL Draft experience, and getting to work with the Steelers.Steelers vs. Browns Week 1: 1st quarter in-game update The Pittsburgh Steelers and the new-look Cleveland Browns went head-to-head to kick off the 2018 regular season, and while the Steelers have owned the Browns since they re-entered the league Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey , this Hue Jackson-led group was destined to write a new chapter in the rivalry’s history.With the weather less-than-ideal for both teams, the Browns were given the choice to take the opening kickoff, or defer to the second half, and they chose to take the first possession of the 3rd quarter rather than start the game on offense.After an opening drive three-and-out for Ben Roethlisberger and company, Tyrod Taylor was able to convert two third downs, one on 3rd-and-13, but the drive ended in a Britton Colquitt punt.With both team exchanging punts on their second possessions Ramon Foster Jersey , the Steelers were finally able to put together a drive and move into Cleveland territory for the first time of the game; however, after a big completion to JuJu Smith-Schuster to put the Steelers in the red-zone, Roethlisberger was intercepted by Denzel Ward for the first turnover of the game.After the Pittsburg defense forced a punt, the Steelers’ offense has the ball in Cleveland territory at the end of the first quarter.]]> chenyan94 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/69978/washington-isn%E2%80%99t-working-out Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:50:41 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/69978/washington-isn%E2%80%99t-working-out Colin Kaepernick.

Broncos Country knows there’s a competitive edge that comes to playing in the Mile High City. Dr. Inigo San Millan of the University of Colorado’s Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Boulder, was featured in an article researching the correlation between athletic performance and altitude. It was concluded that, “altitude directly affects an athlete’s performance. Teams who practice at sea level tire 20 percent faster and transport 10 percent less oxygen in their bodies when they compete in Denver.”Photo by Zach Bland / Mizzou AthleticsAlthough the video doesn’t showcase Lock’s big arm or charming personality, it shows a young quarterback preparing for practice as a Bronco.All eyes will be, “locked,” in on the rookie quarterback as rookie mini camp starts May 10th. The Denver Broncos are looking at “some 3-5 bullsh*t” right now and nobody likes the idea of another loss before the Bye Week - especially this week’s Ultimate Fan. But it’s getting harder to be optimistic about the team’s chances at salvaging the season when it keeps making costly mistakes at very inopportune times.KilledByAnAngel becomes the first Ultimate Fan this season to predict a loss, but don’t be too hard on him - the last time a fan did that, the Broncos responded with a win just to show us...and we’ll take that all day long - won’t we Courtland Sutton Jersey , KilledByAnAngel?Of course we will. :) Week 9: Texans at BroncosMHR - Broncos hung tough with Kansas City for part of the game but couldn’t keep it together long enough - whether it was penalties or other mistakes - to really make a run for a win. Is that what this 2018 team is - “just not quite good enough”?KilledByAnAngel: Unfortunately, I think so.As much as I want to keep chugging the orange kool-aid, I’ve lost hope that this team can get over the hump of mediocrity.I’m not sure exactly what the necessary change is to be “good enough,” but my gut tells me that it’s a coaching change.We have a tremendous amount of talent on our team but it’s not coming together under this staff.The fact that we have hung in there against some of the best teams in the league tells me that we’re not lacking for heart.MHR - Demaryius Thomas is now a Texan. Do you like this move? How do you think Courtland Sutton will do in a No. 1 WR role?KilledByAnAngel: I was actually shocked by the uproar that this move created in Broncos Country.It felt like just the other day that everybody was adamant that we trade DT.Ultimately, I do like the move.DT has been one of my favorites for a long time - his is one of the few jerseys I own.But there’s no denying that he has lost a step and is no longer the No. 1 receiver on our team.Between the salary and lack of production, it was time to move on.This is one of those circumstances where the move was best for both parties involved.It allows DT to go play with an actual quarterback and have a shot at the post-season, and it frees up cap space for us while giving Sutton a chance to grow.Sutton is still rough around the edges, as you would expect from a rookie, but his physical ability has already flashed dramatically.He’s got great body control and the ability to make contested catches look easy.I agree with what Elway said - moving Sutton into a more starring role is only going to aid in his development, and I expect great things from him from here on out.MHR - Bill Musgrave called more running plays against KC and it paid off. Yesterday he said “I second the f****** motion” when reminded Broncos lead the league in yards per carry. Do you believe Phillip Lindsay and Devontae Booker can have the same success against the Texans run defense, which has gotten much better the past five games?KilledByAnAngel: This is going to be the stiffest run defense we have faced, so I’m not as confident our tandem will find quite as much success.I would have more confidence in our run game if our passing game was a viable threat, but that’s not where we’re at right now.I do have faith that Lindsay and Booker will be able to gain yardage, especially if Musgrave commits to the ground game.But the moment that we fall behind or the Texans stack the box, that’s all she wrote.MHR - The Texans’ front 7 - led by JJ Watt - can totally wreck an offense. How do you think Case Keenum and the Broncos’ O-line will do against this group? What kind of play calls for Keenum would you put in the game plan this week?KilledByAnAngel: Between Bolles’ propensity for penalties (which has not improved this season) and the injuries that have fallen upon our O-line, I’m worried about it. Keenum is holding on to the ball too long, which is a deadly combination with our poor pass protection.We need the same kind of play calls for Keenum that we need every week - we need to get him outside of the pocket.He thrived on play action and roll outs with the Vikings.Musgrave should call plays that don’t require Keenum to be a pure pocket passer.MHR - Two weeks ago Colby Wadman had a 50-yard punt. Last week, a 12-yarder. Are you concerned about our punting situation Bradley Chubb Jersey , especially when it needs to happen so often in our games?KilledByAnAngel: Of all of the things I’m concerned about, punting is not high on the list right now.Wadman seems to be having the struggles of getting used to playing professionally, but I think he’ll improve with more experience. Sadly, with as much as we’ll need to punt, an ugly shank or two is to be expected.MHR - Bradley Chubb was just named Defensive Rookie of the Month. What kind of impact do you expect him to keep having this season and down the road? Do you believe choosing Chubb over a QB was still the right move in the draft by Elway?KilledByAnAngel: Chubb’s progression has been awesome to see!I expect him to continue to improve as the season wears on.Despite a slow start, we’re starting to see the powerful combination of Von Miller and Chubb that we all expected when he was drafted.He’s going to acquire more and more skills, his instincts will become more refined, and we already know he has the motor to power it all.Choosing Chubb was absolutely the best move in the draft.Although we are in DESPERATE need of a proper QB, there was not going to be one available where we were picking, especially with the QB-needy teams ahead of us.Despite the fact that we already had Von, we went with the BPA and you can truly never have enough edge rushers in this league.This tag team is going to pay dividends for us for many seasons to come.MHR - Deshaun Watson is a talented QB who has become more and more comfortable each game after having a season-ending injury last year. How should the Broncos attempt to contain him?KilledByAnAngel: We’ll have to use a game plan that is similar to how we kept Russell Wilson in the pocket.Our edge rushers can’t lose contain on the outside. With that said, Watson can still damage you from inside the pocket, so we’ll need our DBs to hold up on the back end.That’s easier said than done with Hopkins and now DT, but if we get those two aspects of our D mostly working, we’ll be able to get some push up the middle of our defensive line and limit Watson’s playmaking ability.MHR - Su’a Cravens is back on the field this week. What kind of improvement can he bring to the secondary to help against DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas?KilledByAnAngel: To me, Cravens’ impact is all potential right now.We’ve talked about him as a savior since the moment we acquired him, but until I actually see him on the field performing at a high level, I have a hard time fathoming any improvement from his contributions. I love that he came out and said Derek Wolfe Jersey , “I’m going to try to blast somebody” because I’m eager to see that kind of tenacity.I don’t see him contributing much against Hopkins and DT but I look forward to him covering the tight end, playing hard nosed against the run, and blitzing.MHR - The run defense has been gashed in several games, a few times by mediocre running backs. Lamar Miller has been great the past two games but hasn’t faced the toughest of defenses. Who has the better day on Sunday - Lamar Miller or the Broncos’ defense?KilledByAnAngel: Broncos’ defense for sure.Miller isn’t going to make it to three straight 100-yard games.He’ll find a bit of success, but I think our D is going to clamp down on the Texans’ run game and force them to beat us in other ways.MHR - What are your thoughts on the season - do the Broncos have any chance at all for a Wild Card spot, are they going to end up with “some 7-9 bullsh*t” or should they tank to go for a better draft pick?KilledByAnAngel:I really, REALLY want to say that they have a chance at a Wild Card spot, but I can’t see it happening.Not with our coaching staff and not with Keenum’s unsteady play.Our defense has the potential to be world-beaters but also ends up giving up massive games due to ineffective play calling.The Broncos will never tank - there’s just too much damn heart on the team.But I do see us in the Jeff Fisher range of 7-9.Just good enough to not get a blue chip draft pick but bad enough to give us our first back-to-back losing seasons in decades.MHR - Finally, Chris Harris joked (but not really) that he would win the one-on-one with DT if matched up in Sunday’s game because he “was just that good.” On the day Broncos honor DT, who gets the best of the matchup?KilledByAnAngel: I have to agree with Harris on this one.In watching DT week to week, my highly developed sense of being a couch coach tells me that he has slowed down.His route running is still great, but he doesn’t seem to fight for balls and certainly doesn’t have the speed he used to. I’m sure Harris has slowed down as well, but you wouldn’t know it from his prowess in the secondary. But I see DT getting around 70 yards and a score if another corner is covering him.PredictionsThe FavoritesHow did you become a Broncos fan?Birthright!I was born in Colorado, and the family has always been Broncos fans.]]> chenyan94 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68097/pittsburgh-steelers-senior-defensive-assistant Wed, 05 Jun 2019 03:36:29 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68097/pittsburgh-steelers-senior-defensive-assistant coach Teryl Austin has a rather long job title and an even longer list of responsibilities."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Latest NewsSteelers Film Room2018 NFL Draft AnalysisLatest NewsHello Mike Wagner Jersey , my name is Teryl Austin. How may I be of assistance to the Steelers?New,42commentsPittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant coach Teryl Austin has a rather long job title and an even longer list of responsibilities.EDTShareTweetShareShareHello, my name is Teryl Austin. How may I be of assistance to the Steelers?Cincinnati Enquirer-USA TODAY NENew Steelers senior defensive assistant/secondary coach Teryl Austin must have felt like he had died and went to Valhalla. He had been unceremoniously dismissed from his defensive coordinator duties with the Cincinnati Bengals, a pit of misery franchise run by a clueless owner, powerless head coach, and delusional fan base. Then he lands an interview with the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the cornerstone franchises in the NFL. The interview goes great, Austin is offered the job, but there is just one catch.Part of Teryl Austin's job description is to be Rocky Bleier Jersey , for lack of a better word, a narc. That is the bad news. The good news is it isn't a top secret mission seeing how everybody on the team and coaching staff are already more than aware.What's the big deal if all his team apparel has that one special button that is actually a spy camera and the pen to his tablet is really a recording device, just like a cop's body camera, they are only required to protect the innocent.Austin's main job description is to observe the day to day operations and interactions in and around the Steelers complex and report back to Mr. Rooney and Steelers GM Kevin Colbert. Ben Roethlisberger, as acting owner, will sit in on these meetings to go over all the information gathered by Coach Austin.Teryl's job description calls for other high profile responsibilities beyond intel gathering. First off, he has been instructed to assist Coach Tomlin with all challenge decisions. More like prevent Mike from ever throwing the red flag unless given approval from upstairs. The use of force has been granted if Austin deems it necessary.Next order of business is to assist Defensive Coordinator Keith Butler with weekly game plans and daily tasks. Little things like making sure Butler is aware of that week's opponent, who is and isn't on their active roster, and answer questions that sometimes can be confusing for Coach Butler. Like why in-game defensive adjustments are sometimes required and can be helpful Joe Gilliam Jersey , and why it is seldom a good idea to consistently attempt to cover a top wideout with your coverage challenged inside linebackers.As if that wasn't enough, Austin is supposed to protect special teams coach Danny Smith from himself. This requires Austin to only supply Smith with decaf on any coffee runs, and to hide any and all energy drinks from Coach Smith. He must make sure that Smith has completely removed the wrappers from the approximately ten pieces of Bazooka bubble gum that Smith chews during each practice or game, seeing how it could be a choking hazard. If choking does occur then Austin is required to administer the Heimlich maneuver. He must also shield Coach Smith from any debris that might inadvertently come flying out of the stands. He is even supposed to protect any innocent team personnel on the sidelines from possibly being hit by a shanked Jordan Berry punt.Lastly Teryl is supposed to listen in and try to decipher exactly what Coach Tom Bradley has been teaching Artie Burns and the rest of the Steelers secondary.All of the information gathered will be crucial by the end of the year as the Steelers decide which coaches will stay and which ones will be shown the door, especially if they have another disappointing season.Teryl Austin does have a lot on his plate, but he feels certain he is the right man for the job. It has to be better than being stuck in Cincinnati. The cycle of the Le'Veon Bell trade efforts if rivaling the lifespan of the Mayfly.From “no plan” to trade Bell to listening to offers to actively shopping to, most recently, having no serious offers, it appears that the Steelers are back to where they were three weeks ago.Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that聽no potential suitors have been aggressive yet Terry Bradshaw Jersey , and for good reason. Any team interested in trading for Bell would have to satisfy the Steelers and also persuade Bell to show up, presumably by offering him something more than his $855,000 per week rate, with no guarantee that he’ll be on the team after this season.With the trade deadline four weeks and two days away, the Steelers could (and should) wait to see whether an injury happens to a workhorse tailback on a contending team. Suddenly, someone would be interested in getting Bell for the balance of the season, willing to pay him significantly more than $855,000 per week, and unconcerned about Bell leaving next year.A trade nevertheless remains unlikely Louis Lipps Jersey , and so the question would then become whether the Steelers have shopped Bell as a precursor to rescinding the franchise tender and letting him walks away now, or whether the Steelers hoped to prime the pump for a possible trade next year, in the event Bell sits out the whole season, gets franchise-tagged again in 2019, and would then be traded to a team that could sign him to a long-term deal.]]> chenyan94 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68093/who-are-the-redskins-picking-in-2020 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 02:54:04 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68093/who-are-the-redskins-picking-in-2020 "One last mock draft? Yes one last mock draft Ryan Kerrigan Jersey , this time looking at the way too early projections for the Redskins draft pick in 2020. The mock drafters do not think Washington will be very successful next season, with a draft range from #1 - #19, and all but two projections being in the top 10. Vegas has also set expectations low with a starting line of 6 wins for the Redskins in 2019. Not good Bob.Alex Smith will likely miss this season, and could possibly be done in the NFL, so the Redskins drafted Dwayne Haskins in the 1st round this year. Washington also traded for Case Keenum, and still have an injured Colt McCoy on the roster so the only QB need they will have next year are for a solid backup.The Redskins spent their other 1st round pick on OLB Montez Sweat, who should be a long-term starter opposite Ryan Kerrigan. That did not stop several prognosticators from giving Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young to the Redskins. Kerrigan turns 31 this year, and is only under contract through next season. Would they draft OLBs in the first round in back-to-back years?Trent Williams also turns 31 this year and has a contract that runs through 2020, and there isn’t a replacement on the roster currently. Morgan Moses is locked up through 2022, and the Redskins drafted Geron Christian in the the 3rd round last year, but they will need to start looking at OTs next season.The Redskins drafted two WRs this year, including Ohio State’s Terry McLaurin, but they still show up in this roundup. Colorado’s Laviska Shenault and Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy are the popular choices to be Haskins new targets.Safety, CB, and TE round out the rest of the picks. The Redskins ignored safety and tight end in the draft this year and will likely look to next year’s draft to get some young talent. They did add Landon Collins in free agency, but need more help for him. Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis are likely on their last legs in Washington and Jeremy Sprinkle is backup level. The Redskins drafted Jimmy Moreland in the 7th round to add to their collection of late round CB lottery tickets. Josh Norman’s likely entering his last year here, and they could use an upgrade.Where will the Redskins pick, and who/what position should they take next year?#1Bleacher Report(Miller)Chase Young, OLB, Ohio State#2The Athletic(Brugler)Chase Young Vernon Davis Jersey , OLB, Ohio StateSports IllustratedJerry Jeudy, WR, AlabamaSan Diego Times U~TAndrew Thomas, OT, GeorgiaDraft SiteWalker Little, OT, Stanford#3Draft Wire(Easterling)Grant Delpit | S | LSU#4E$PN+(McShay)Chase Young, OLB, Ohio StateSporting NewsAndrew Thomas, OT, Georgia#6SB NationLaviska Shenault, WR, ColoradoYardbarkerLaviska Shenault, WR, ColoradoNBC Washington(Standig)CJ Henderson, CB, FloridaDraft BlasterChase Lucas, CB, Arizona StateThe ScoreJerry Jeudy Da’Ron Payne Jersey , WR, Alabama#7The Big LeadLaviska Shenault, WR, Colorado#8The Draft Network(Sikkema)Trey Smith, OL, Tennessee#9NFL Spin ZoneCeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma#14Walter FootballAlbert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri#19Walter Footbal(Campbell)C.J. Henderson, CB , Florida Washington may draft its quarterback of the future tonight. But it remains unclear which quarterback they’re targeting, and who’s making the calls in the team’s draft room.We’ve been hearing for the last 24 hours that owner Dan Snyder wants to get his quarterback tonight and is willing to trade up to get him, but which quarterback is the one Snyder covets?Dianna Russini of ESPN reports that there’s disagreement within Washington’s front office about which quarterback to select. Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder like Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins, but others prefer Duke’ Daniel Jones.Ultimately, if Snyder and Allen both want a player, that’s going to be the player they take. Everyone else works for Snyder and Allen. There’s no overruling the two of them.But this may all be moot, if Allen is talking to teams about trading up just because that’s what he likes to do before the draft, and not because he actually wants to trade into the Top 5 for a quarterback. Washington may instead just see if one of those quarterbacks drops to them at No. 15 overall.]]> chenyan94 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68078/san-francisco-49ers-quarterback-cj Wed, 05 Jun 2019 02:24:50 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68078/san-francisco-49ers-quarterback-cj SANTA CLARA Foster Moreau Jersey 2019 , Calif. (AP) 鈥?San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard missed practice with an injured right wrist that could keep him out of Thursday night's game against the Oakland Raiders."His wrist hurts," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "He's struggling today to hold a ball. So, we'll see how he is tomorrow."Beathard got hurt in the second quarter of a loss on Sunday at Arizona when he hit his hand on a helmet. He stayed in the game and finished 14 for 28 for 190 yards and a touchdown, falling to 1-9 in his career as a starter, including losses in all five starts this season."I definitely felt it during the game," Beathard said. "I felt it when it happened. But, I think with adrenaline going, I don't think it was affecting the way I was throwing the ball."Shanahan said he believed Beathard would be able to play if the game this week were on Sunday but doesn't know if he'll be ready on the short week for the 49ers (1-7). Beathard remained hopeful he'll be able to go, otherwise the Niners will turn to untested Nick Mullens. Mullens joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent last year after breaking all of Brett Favre's records in college at Southern Mississippi. He earned himself a practice squad spot.Mullens played well in the preseason this year and got promoted to the active roster following a season-ending knee injury to starter Jimmy Garoppolo in September."Nick comes in there Cheap Foster Moreau Jersey , moves the chains, competes hard, made some plays with his legs and his arm," Shanahan said. "Guys believe in him and he's as competitive and confident as a guy I've been around. If he needs to play this week, he'll be on it."Mullens has not taken an NFL snap and has worked mostly with the scout team in practice.Mullens won't get much practice time this week either if he plays, with the Niners holding only a walkthrough on Tuesday and then a light practice Wednesday before playing the game."That's the challenge of being a backup, you don't get a lot of reps but you have to keep mentally sharp throughout the week," Mullens said. "You have to play the game in your head before it actually plays out. That's kind of what I've done each week." The only other quarterback on the roster is Tom Savage, who is still learning the offense after being signed earlier this month.The 49ers are dealing with several injuries during this short week with backup strong safety Antone Exum already ruled out for the game with a concussion.Starter Jaquiski Tartt also could miss the game with a shoulder injury and linebacker Reuben Foster also missed practice with a hamstring injury. Several other players were limited Marshawn Lynch Jersey , including running back Matt Breida (ankle), CB Richard Sherman (calf, heel), T Joe Staley (ankle), C Weston Richburg (knee), WR Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee), RB Raheem Mostert (ankle) and G Mike Person (ankle).San Francisco made two roster moves Tuesday by waiving receiver Victor Bolden Jr. and defensive back Greg Mabin, who started at cornerback two weeks ago against the Rams. Those moves clear roster spots if the 49ers decide to activate strong safety Marcell Harris and linebacker Dekoda Watson from injured reserve. OAKLAND Gabe Jackson Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Raiders have gotten final approval for their lease to remain in Oakland for at least one more season.The Oakland City Council voted Thursday to approve the lease for 2019 with an option for 2020. The Alameda Board of Supervisors had voted earlier in the week in favor of the lease that had been formally approved by the Coliseum Authority last week.The Raiders will pay $7.5 million in rent for the Coliseum and the practice facility in Alameda in 2019 and have a $10.5 million option for 2020 in case their new $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas isn’t ready by then.This season likely will be the Raiders’ final season in Oakland after moving back from Los Angeles in 1995. The Raiders began playing at the Coliseum in 1966 and were there through the 1981 season before going to Southern California.The team plans to start the 2020 season at the 65,000-seat stadium being built west of the Las Vegas Strip. Taxpayers are contributing $750 million to the project.The partially tax-funded stadium that will become the home of the Raiders in Las Vegas has recently faced delays with the delivery of steel components. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports substantial completion of the venue has been pushed back by less than a week to Aug. 4, 2020. The facility would host its first event soon after.In addition to the delivery issues, a report by an independent construction monitor hired by the stadium’s oversight board released Thursday says site visits revealed that “steel components that should have been completed have not yet been erected or detailed.”]]> chenyan94
