So if the deadline imposed by quarterback Russell Wilson on the Seahawks comes and goes without a new contract, what happens next?Here’s one thing that should happen: Other teams without short-list franchise quarterbacks should call the Seahawks to inquire regarding what it would take to get Wilson via trade.That doesn’t mean he will be or should be traded. It means that, in the never-ending process of due diligence done to determine whether a team can be upgraded via the presence of a new player, it makes sense to make the call and see what it would take to get Wilson now.It also would make sense to find out what Wilson would want from a team other than the Seahawks. There’s a sense that he’s driving a hard bargain with the Seahawks so that he can get to another team Cordy Glenn Jersey , and that with another team he’d want less than what he wants from the Seahawks. Because, however, agent Mark Rodgers represents only one NFL player, getting information about Wilson’s expectations without committing an easily detectable violation of the tampering rules will be difficult to do.If Wilson were represented by an agent with clients on every team, any team could contact officially Wilson’s agent about a player on that team, and then unofficially ask about Wilson. With Rodgers having no other clients, there’s no reason for any team to talk to him, other than to talk about Wilson.Thus, if a trade has any chance of happening, the Seahawks at some point would have to grant permission to Wilson and Rodgers to speak to other teams. Without a chance to negotiate a long-term deal with Wilson, the chances of a trade would be minimal Randy Bullock Jersey , since the new team would be getting him for one year at $17 million, plus the prospect of a year-to-year franchise tag that starts at $30.34 million for 2020, continues at $36.4 million for 2021, and ends at $52.43 million for 2022.Still, plenty of teams should at least inquire about Wilson. From the Dolphins to the Bengals to the Titans to the Chargers to the Raiders to the Broncos to the Giants to Washington to the Lions to the Cardinals to maybe a few others, adding Wilson could dramatically change their prospects, in 2019 and beyond.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67000/womens-dj-reader-jersey Fri, 17 May 2019 05:42:40 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67000/womens-dj-reader-jersey Hey Womens Alfred Blue Jersey , that there is a new offensive tackle."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Texans StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Texans NewsYahoo Texans Team PageYahoo Texans ReportYahoo Texans Depth ChartYahoo Texans TransactionsYahoo Texans PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁?019 NFL Free Agency2019 Houston Texans Offseason2019 NFL Free Agency News: Houston Texans Sign Matt KalilNew,200commentsHey, that there is a new offensive tackle. CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Free Agency News: Houston Texans Sign Matt KalilKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThe Houston Texans entered free agency with a bunch of money and a bunch of offensive line needs. They sat on their dollars and watched as Trent Brown and Ja’Wuan James were given obscene amounts of dollars to go to Oakland and Denver, respectively. This was the right decision. I admired the decision. Overpaying for mediocre players is how teams stifle their performance and obliterate their cap space. Yet the Texans still need competition at the tackle position at a bare minimum. If a plug and play starter couldn’t be found on a contract that made sense, they’d have to search under rocks to find someone.Anyone. Houston’s tackles were Juli’en Davenport and Seantrel Henderson a day ago. Then yesterday went flying by amd the Texans signed 29 year old Matt Kalil to a one-year contract. Kalil missed all of last season with a knee injury. The Panthers signed him to a five-year Womens D.J. Reader Jersey , $55 million contract after his rookie contract ended with the Vikings. In Carolina, the Panthers were stuck doing the same things the Texans did last season with cheap tackles; they were chipping, sliding, and helping Kalil and Mike Remmers in pass protection to make up for Kalil’s weak hands and Remmers’s slow feet. This is exactly what you can’t do when you pay a tackle $11 million a year. Kalil should provide competition at left tackle competition. But he hasn’t been good since his rookie year, and at this point Womens Tashaun Gipson Jersey , isn’t even as good as ‘I know I’m starting at left tackle’ Juli’en Davenport. With Kalil, Davenport, and Henderson on the roster, look for Houston to draft a tackle in the first or second round of the 2019 NFL Draft and then watch these four tear each other apart for September playing time. The season is over and it’s all a fog. That time between picking up the pieces and sifting through the piles of cremains, and preparing for future arm chair scouting Will Fuller V Jersey White , and I wish I was a general manager mangering. Everything right now is about getting in place. Putting the pieces together. Setting down the foundation. And gathering information for how teams will look to improve this offseason or continue their rebuild. Part of the foundation are ESPN’s way too early Power Rankings. A chance to see where everything stands before the offseason begins. They have Houston ninth. This is what they said:In between Seattle and Baltimore is Houston. I’m fine with this. This is a good spot for where they stand now. Yet, it will be interesting to see how far they can climb if they can add another interior pass rusher, Will Fuller V insurance, overhaul the secondary, and add offensive line competition. Free agency begins in a month and a half. The draft will be a month and a half after that. Until then we play make believe Whitney Mercilus Jersey White , and see where the ninth best team in football can improve.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/66998/kenny-clark-jersey-white Fri, 17 May 2019 03:11:58 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/66998/kenny-clark-jersey-white Either Terry McLaurin or Parris Campbell would fit the Packers nicely in round two or three."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareSharePackers NFL Draft 2019: Two Ohio State receivers project as day-two targetsGary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsUnder Ted Thompson Bart Starr Jersey White , the Green Bay Packers loved drafting wide receivers on day two of the NFL Draft. Thompson hit on these players with regularity, too; Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Davante Adams were all second- or third-round draft picks who went on to have long, productive careers with the Packers. Adams is now unquestionably one of the NFL’s ten best wide receivers, with a legitimate argument to be made for him as a top-five player at the position.In 2018, Brian Gutekunst preferred to wait until the later rounds of his first draft to address the position, drafting three players between rounds four and six. However, all were size-speed players who present matchup problems for defenses.This spring, however, the Packers may go back to the day-two well, with numerous intriguing players projecting to go in the second or third rounds. Interestingly, two players who lined up together in Columbus should be under consideration for Gutekunst and company, as both project as good fits in Green Bay.Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin will be connected throughout this draft process. The two players arrived at Ohio State one year apart, but a redshirt for Campbell resulted in both earning their first significant playing time as sophomores in 2016. By the 2018 season, each was a key cog in the Buckeyes’ offensive attack Corey Linsley Jersey , which saw quarterback Dwayne Haskins set conference records with his arm.Last fall, Campbell was the offense’s Swiss Army Knife. Lining up in the slot, the backfield, and practically everywhere else, the goal was simple: get the ball in his hands and let him make something happen. Campbell’s elite speed (4.31 seconds in the 40 at the Combine) and change-of-direction ability (position-best 4.03 in the short shuttle) led to a highly productive season. Campbell’s 90 receptions went for over 1,000 yards, as he averaged 11.8 yards per catch despite a high number of those “receptions” essentially coming on jet sweeps. Campbell also brings return ability to the NFL, having served as Ohio State’s primary kickoff returner in 2016 and pitching in occasionally in 2017. McLaurin, on the other hand, rotated heavily with a host of talented receivers, many of whom will be future NFL Draft picks. However, his 35 receptions displayed big-play ability, as he averaged 20 yards per catch on those plays. Like Campbell, McLaurin contributed on special teams as well, but more so on coverage teams rather than with the ball in his hands.Check out this compilation of McLaurin’s plays as a punt gunner:For the Packers, who very much have an athletic “type” for their receivers since Thompson took over as GM, both players check all the boxes. They’re both just over six feet tall, each weighs between 205 and 210 pounds Kenny Clark Jersey White , and their speed and agility times are far better than the team’s typical requirements. Take a look:Parris Campbell: 5-foot-11 7/8, 205 pounds, 4.31 forty, 4.03 short shuttle (no 3-cone)Terry McLaurin: 6-foot-0 1/8, 208 pounds, 4.35 forty, 4.15 short shuttle, 7.01 3-coneThe differences between the two will make one or the other more appealing targets to different teams, based on what said teams are looking for. Campbell is ultimately the more dynamic athlete, but he probably needs his offensive scheme to help him be productive. McLaurin is a more effective route-runner and can create space on his own. In short, Campbell is the better player after the catch, while McLaurin is better before it.Still, either one looks to be a solid fit for the Packers, who appear to be looking for a slot receiver this spring after Randall Cobb’s departure. Although Equanimeous St. Brown provided some nice reps on the inside and Jimmy Graham projects to get significant snaps split out in the slot as well, the team could use one of these smaller (but not too small) receivers to help attack the middle of the field. Don’t be surprised if one or the other trades in his scarlet and gray for green and gold on April 26th.Cheese Curds, 8/2: Packers will need to adjust to new helmet rules Every time the NFL changes a rule, debate ensues and there is almost always never the same interpretation of it.That said, out of all the rule changes the league has made in the past few years Womens JK Scott Jersey , the new helmet contact rule for 2018 just might be the craziest of them all.Simply put, no player can strike another player anywhere on the body in a way that contact was initiated with the helmet. In the high speed world of the NFL, this potentially could create all sorts of issues. The game moves so fast that officials may need to make snap judgement calls on some plays and those could easily affect the outcome of a game.There’s also how to properly coach defensive players. While helmet-to-helmet hits have been outlawed for awhile, this alters the method in which some players are used to tackling. They’re not necessarily acting like a spear, but it will force them to adjust the angle at which they tackle.The Packers of course have to learn this new rule all while learning a new defense thanks to the hire of Mike Pettine as defensive coordinator.Can teams adapt? It remains to be seen, but this rule has the potential to wreak a lot of havoc even though it has good intentions in regards to player safety. You can read more on the new helmet rule and how the Packers are handling it plus why the tight end position might really be a strength for the Green Bay in today’s cheese curds.Packers raking head-on approach to new helmet rules—PackersNews.comThe intentions are noble here and there will be an adjustment period but what will the long-term impact of this rule be? Hopefully it doesn’t swing any games against the Packers (or anyone for that matter). Mike Pettine doesn’t rule out adding veteran ILB—Packers WireGM Brian Gutekunst said the team would give the young players a chance in the wake of losing Jake Ryan to a torn ACL, but Pettine didn’t rule out bringing a veteran in. Before anyone yells about them not being on the same page, what else what Gutekunst supposed to say? “No we don’t like who we have so yes we’ll bring in a veteran?” Trust the process, folks. If the younger players struggle, Gutekunst will pull the trigger and it will be faster than Ted Thompson.Quiet-but-ready rookie Oren Burks vows he will not throw away his shot with Packers—Wisconsin State JournalBurks deserves a shot. He was a third round pick, so he clearly has some talent. He only met with the Packers before the draft and was happy to hear his name called by the same team. Burke thought he’d get his shot but maybe not this soon. Now the quiet rookie is on center stage and all eyes are on him.Philbin: ‘Good Problem’ to have so many veteran tight ends—Packers.comTight end was supposed to be a strong point last year too until Martellus Bennett’s mishap basically wrecked it.Thankfully, Jimmy Graham seems above that kind of behavior and the position should actually be a strength this season.Ohio State places Urban Meyer on administrative leave—NFL.comSince a big chunk of Packers fans are also Wisconsin Badgers fans, this news could potentially alter the outcome of the Big Ten this season.

On one hand Womens Sylvester Williams Jersey , we get to watch football stress-free and don’t need to worry about the devastating feeling of a Lions loss. On the other hand, the entire league can be a bit boring without the Lions. NFL football is a very good product, but without that passionate connection to a team, there’s definitely something missing.But for those of you that aren’t taking the week off with the Lions, there’s an... okay set of game for Week 6. So today’s Question of the Day:What is the most interesting game on the slate for Week 6?My answer: Normally, I would pick an NFC game, since it would have some sort of implications for the Lions, but the slate of games leave much to be desired. Falcons-Buccaneers is probably the best of the slate Youth Austin Bryant Jersey , but both teams are probably pretty bad right now. Elsewhere in the NFC we’ve got Carolina-Washington, which could be alright.But the real action is in the AFC. Chiefs-Patriots to finish the night could be a really fun game, as could the interconference game between the Jaguars and the Cowboys. Overall, though, it’s just not that great of a matchup week, which means most of Sunday will probably be spent on the Red Zone channel.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage At this point in the NFL season, it’s still really hard to make sense of the league. Teams are still playing wildly inconsistent week-to-week and only a few have truly emerged as contenders or pretenders. This isn’t all that abnormal. Just ask Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who claims you don’t really even know your own team until halfway through the season. “Midseason to me is always about the time where I think you kind of know what you have Womens Christian Jones Jersey ,” Belichick said back in 2017. “September, I think we’re all trying to figure out a little bit. You go into the season thinking one thing and then after you play three or four games, a lot of time you’re not as good at some things as you thought you were or maybe you’re better at some other things than you might have thought you were. Maybe some guys are performing higher, some guys lower, whatever. It takes a little while to find that equilibrium.”The Lions certainly qualify for that identity crisis. Through five games, they’ve beaten Belichick’s Patriots and their division rival Packers, but also dropped games to the Jets, 49ers and Cowboys. They’re a game out of first place in the division but also all alone in last place. So this week Calvin Johnson Jersey White , we asked fans to try and assess the team at their bye week—a tough task for even the people within the organization. Will this 2-3 Lions team make the postseason? You all answered with the proper indecision:It’s very easy to see both sides of the equation here. On the pro-playoffs side, you have the fact that the Lions have already beaten two very competitive teams. They are also playing in a division that has three other flawed teams. Each NFC North team has at least one bad loss on their resume and clear weakness on their roster. At this point, it truly feels like anyone’s division.On the other hand, the Lions’ defense is currently playing like one of the worst in the league, and just about every stat will corroborate that. They’re ranked 30th in DVOA, and they’ve also dropped a couple games they had no business losing if they’re going to truly be a contender. So who are these Lions and will they make the postseason this year?

However Womens Giovani Bernard Jersey , if he falls to the Bengals, it would create an interesting discussion. Up until now, it was more likely than not that Sweat wouldn’t even make it to 11th overall.Now, with the draft less than a week away, we’ll just have to watch how it all plays out. Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is out against the Arizona Cardinals because of a knee injury.Gurley did not practice on Thursday, but said he expected to play in Sunday's game despite knee inflammation that flared up last week against Philadelphia.Gurley leads the NFL with 21 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns for the Rams (11-3) Womens Shawn Williams Jersey , who have already clinched the NFC West.

Whether that happens through free agency or the draft, it is a good bet that the depth chart at that spot will look very different than it did to close the 2018 season. However, any efforts to upgrade through free agency in 2019 just got more difficult.Last offseason, the safety market was in disarray. A single safety received the franchise tag, as the Rams elected to pay Lamarcus Joyner like an elite player at just over $11 million. However, only one player who actually reached the open free agent market got a contract worth $7 million per year: Tyrann Mathieu, who was a cap casualty in Arizona and landed on a one-year deal with the Houston Texans for that number. A few other safeties signed contract extensions in the $6 to $6.5 million per year range, but they were all entering the final year of their rookie contracts at the time. In fact, only one other free agent safety — Kurt Coleman — even exceeded $5 million, signing a three-year deal with the Saints worth $16.35 million total.This year, however, the market is set for a massive rebound Womens Josh Jones Jersey , and the first domino fell on Monday afternoon. Eric Reid, who signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Carolina Panthers a few weeks into the 2018 season, has just defined the market in 2019 by signing a new contract extension. Reid’s new contract will run for three years through the 2021 season and will reportedly pay him a bit over $22 million total — just over $7 million per season.Suddenly, we’re looking at a bounce-back of the safety market. Admittedly, the crop of safeties hitting free agency in 2018 was a relatively disappointing one. Mathieu, Coleman, and Morgan Burnett were the highest-paid of the bunch, while many speculated that Reid’s wait to sign and low contract value were connected to his demonstrations against social injustice during the national anthem and his support for former teammate Colin Kaepernick. In 2019, however, the situation is very different. Earl Thomas and Landon Collins, two former first-team All-Pros Josh Jackson Jersey White , are both scheduled to be free agents in March. So too is Joyner, who appears unlikely to receive a franchise tag for a second straight season, and Mathieu, who so far has not re-signed with the Texans. Other notable names like Corey Graham, Tre Boston, Mike Adams, and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix should also be on the market.For the top options like Thomas, Collins, and Joyner, they now have a data point for where to start in their negotiations with NFL teams when the negotiation window begins on March 11th. The agents for all of those players will surely value their clients above the $7.3 million per year mark that Reid’s deal will pay him, and they may all push for something north of $10 million annually.For the Packers, that’s a hefty price to pay. However http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-mason-crosby-jersey , that may just be the price of doing business with one of the top safeties in this year’s free agent class. Packers interim head coach Joe Philbin said that it wasn't easy to let associate head coach Winston Moss go from the coaching staff, but that he came to the decision because he "just didn't feel like the fit right now was where it needs to be."Philbin spoke on Wednesday before his first practice as the interim coach to replace the fired Mike McCarthy . Moss posted a message on Twitter on Tuesday that appeared to question that Packers leadership and quarterback Aaron Rodgers."Find somebody that is going to hold #12 (Rodgers' jersey number) and everybody in this building to a #LombardiStandard," read part of Moss' tweet , citing former Packers coach and Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi.When asked about the tweet, Philbin said the decision didn't have to do with just one factor. He then recounted what he told the team earlier this week."We've got to be professional, accountable, respectful and punctual 鈥?those are the four things that we've got to do the next four weeks," he said. "And if we do all those things we'll be in good shape."Moss joined the Packers' staff in January 2006, a week after McCarthy was hired as head coach. An NFL linebacker for 11 seasons, Moss primarily oversaw the outside linebackers.When longtime defensive coordinator Dom Capers was fired after last season, Mike Pettine was hired as his replacement. The Packers turned to Philbin, the offensive coordinator and former Dolphins head coach JK Scott Jersey White , to take over for McCarthy for the last four games of the season.Moss' limited interactions in recent years with the media were also often either brief or contentious."Yeah I think it's important obviously that everybody's on the same page, that we're all moving forward in the same direction.

However Kentrell Brice Jersey , Aaron Jones’ fumble on a promising drive in a tie game shifted all the momentum to the Patriots, who pounced on both the football and the opportunity that it presented.About eight minutes later, the game was all but over.New England scored two quick touchdowns after the fumble, thanks in part to a trick-play pass from Julian Edelman to James White, giving them their margin of victory in a 31-17 win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Rodgers threw a pair of touchdowns in the contest, one each to Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham, but he still looked out of sorts at times, missing some reads and receivers in what seems to becoming the new normal for him this season. He finished the game 24 for 43 for 259 yards, but although he only took one sack all game, he was under pressure consistently throughout.The Packers’ young playmakers on offense kept the team right in the thick of things until the fourth quarter. Marquez Valdes-Scantling set up the Packers’ first touchdown with a 51-yard gain on a deep bomb and had his second 100-yard game as a rookie, while Aaron Jones kept up his sparkling yards-per-carry average with 76 yards on 14 carries. However Geronimo Allison Jersey , that fumble will be the lasting image from the game for the second-year running back.Injuries were another major storyline throughout the middle of the game for the Packers. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga, cornerback Kevin King, safety Kentrell Brice, and inside linebacker Blake Martinez all left the game with various issues, sapping the defense of much of its playmaking ability down the stretch. Combined with a controversial ejection of Jermaine Whitehead, the Packers were essentially down to Antonio Morrison and Oren Burks at linebacker for a stretch in the second half, though Martinez did return to the game late.The Patriots started the game by running their offense at warp speed, covering 59 yards in just three minutes and 20 seconds on the opening drive of the game. James White was uncoverable, catching three passes and carrying the football twice as the Packers were stuck with Oren Burks in coverage on him and unable to substitute due to the Pats’ no-huddle offense. White’s second carry went for an eight-yard touchdown, giving the Patriots an early 7-0 lead. The Packers responded with a score of their own, but they had to settle for a field after reaching the red zone. A healthy dose of Aaron Jones and Jimmy Graham got them there Aaron Jones Jersey , but a delay of game penalty and an inexplicable receiver screen to Randall Cobb on third-and-goal from the 14 signaled that Mike McCarthy gave up on the series to settle for three points.Following a Mike Daniels sack and a Patriots punt, the Packers elected to punt the ball away on fourth-and-six from the Patriots’ 44-yard line. A little trickery got the Pats a seven-point lead back, as a flea-flicker to Julian Edelman set up the Pats in field goal range to take a 10-3 lead.Midway through the second quarter, McCarthy decided to really get Aaron Jones involved in the game plan. Jones and Davante Adams combined for 51 yards on the drive, and a 13-yard run by Jones set up the Packers near the goal line. On third-and-goal, Rodgers scrambled to his left to find an open Adams to tie the game at ten. However, the team lost Bryan Bulaga in the second quarter to a knee injury, and he would not return.The Patriots struck back on the next series. James White left the field after a few plays with an apparent hamstring injury, at which point Cordarrelle Patterson took over in the backfield. Patterson ran the ball on four straight plays, picking up 40 yards and finding the end zone to give New England a 17-10 lead. It was on this series that Whitehead was tossed.Coming out of the half, the Packers got a huge play from Rodgers and rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a third and six deep in their own territory. With good protection Lane Taylor Jersey , Rodgers lofted a deep ball to MVS for 51 yards, setting the Packers up in a great spot near the red zone. A few plays later, Rodgers found Jimmy Graham on a deep cross in the back of the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game at 17.A great goal-line stand for the Packers’ defense culminated in pass breakups by Josh Jackson and Bashaud Breeland, keeping the Patriots from taking a lead. but the offense could not get out of the shadow of their own end zone. Thankfully, a solid punt by JK Scott and a holding penalty on New England pushed them back to their own 36. A punt by the Pats — a relief after Robert Tonyan was flagged earlier on the same drive for a roughing the kicker penalty on fourth-and-21 — set up a great start to the next Packers drive for Valdes-Scantling, who caught back-to-back passes from Rodgers for 50 yards. However, Aaron Jones coughed up the football across the Patriots’ 30 and New England recovered. They immediately took advantage, using a throwback pass from Julian Edelman to James White to jump-start their offense for a 37-yard gain before White plunged into the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown.After a Packers punt, Tom Brady hit Josh Gordon for a 55-yard touchdown up the right sideline that effectively put the game away at 31-17. The Packers made it to midfield on their final drive of the game, but a pressured Rodgers sailed a pass over Valdes-Scantling’s head on fourth-and-four to effectively end any hopes for a comeback. The Green Bay Packers drafted three wide receivers in the 2018 NFL Draft and all three lived up to the expectations of their selection.The good and bad thing is none of them lived up to where they themselves were taken.J’Mon Moore was drafted in the fourth round and barely saw the field. When he did, he couldn’t catch the ball and was largely ineffective.Marquez Valdes-Scantling was selected in the fifth round and showed some promise and chemistry with Aaron Rodgers but still needs some work. Equanimeous St. Brown was picked in the sixth round and might actually be the most well-rounded and ready player among the three rookies. His play improved as the season went on and he too started to develop chemistry with Rodgers.With Randall Cobb’s status unknown Blake Martinez Jersey , these three along with a healthy Geronimo Allison will be competing for targets behind Davante Adams in 2019.The Packers also could go after a receiver in free agency and the draft as well.Regardless all three will be on the roster at the start of camp, but it will likely be Moore on the bubble more than the other two which is ironic given he was drafted higher than both Valdes-Scantling and St. Brown.It just goes to show that after you’re selected and unless you’re a first round pick, where you’re taken really doesn’t mean much in the fall.You can read more on the rookie receivers’ seasons plus why adding a sworn enemy could make sense for Green Bay in today’s cheese curds.Packers receiver J’Mon Moore makes no excuses for his rookie year—Packers.comGive the rookie credit, he knows he has to play better and blames no one but himself.

Of course, that won’t be easy: Their four remaining games are at Dallas, at L.A. Rams, home against the Texans and at Washington. But they at least have a chance, and would probably make the playoffs if they even win three of their last four.Here’s how the playoff picture looks through Week 13:1. Rams (11-1): They have an easy schedule the rest of the way and a good chance of finishing ahead of the Saints in the standings.2. Saints (10-2): Still the favorites to earn a bye week, but now they have an uphill climb to home-field advantage.3. Bears (8-4): The inside track to the No. 3 seed, but the loss to the Giants hurt.4. Cowboys (7-5): All alone in first place in the NFC East.5. Seahawks (7-5): The Seahawks are looking like a likely playoff team, in a season some saw as a rebuilding year.6. Vikings (6-5-1): At Seattle on Monday night is a huge one in the wild card race.7. Panthers (6-6): Carolina is in a tailspin, but the Panthers still own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Philadelphia.8. Eagles (6-6): Sunday’s game in Dallas is enormous: Win and they’re the favorites in the NFC East, lose and they’re almost certainly not making the playoffs.9. Washington (6-6): They once had a big lead in the NFC East, now they’re in third place and have Mark Sanchez at quarterback.10. Buccaneers (5-7): Jameis Winston is finally playing well, but is it too late to save Dirk Koetter’s job?11. Packers (4-7-1): Another loss cost Mike McCarthy his job.12. Falcons (4-8): This season has been a major disappointment.13. Giants (4-8): Playing better, but still stuck in last place in the NFC East.14. Lions (4-8): Matt Patricia has already lost more games this year than Jim Caldwell lost in either of the last two years.15. Cardinals (3-9): Showed some progress by winning in Green Bay.16. 49ers (2-10): The worst team in the NFC. The Detroit Lions were able to get off to a hot start—especially defensively—against their in-division rivals. However, a game-changing play to end the first half seemed to derail the entire team, and the Minnesota Vikings just dominated the second half to defeat the Lions 24-9. Here’s how it all happened. First quarterThe Lions lost the coin toss and that meant their offense was to take the field first. Detroit started the game off by hammering the running game, and it appeared to be working. LeGarrette Blount for 4, Zach Zenner for 5, then Zenner for 29. But Detroit only went backwards from their, working their way out of field position. Punter Sam Martin, however, was able to pin the Vikings at their own 2-yard line. The Lions were able to immediately get a three-and-out, giving the offense good field position to work with. Matthew Stafford hit Kenny Golladay on a crossing route for 21 yards http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-jarrad-davis-jersey , but Detroit, again, failed to do much once in field goal position. They didn’t go backwards, however, so Matt Prater was able to put the Lions up early. 3-0 Lions.Detroit’s defense continued to control the line of scrimmage, as the Vikings went three-and-out again. Quandre Diggs laid the boom on a curious third-and-6 draw play from the Vikings.Once again, the Lions offense successfully worked their way into Vikings territory. Once again, questionable play calling an execution caused Detroit to move out of field goal position. Facing a third-and-13 at the Vikings 33-yard line, Detroit opted to run a safe draw play... except it lost yards and pushed Detroit out of field goal position.But, again, the Lions defense forced a three-and-out, this time thanks got a Damon Harrison tackle for loss and a Nevin Lawson sack on third down. At the end of the first quarter, the Lions had the yardage advantage 90-4, but only led by three points.Second quarterThe second quarter got off to a good start for Detroit, as the Vikings ensuing punt went just 29 yards, giving the Lions offense great field position—at Minnesota’s 38-yard line. The Lions offense was able to pick up one first down, but nothing more. Prater knocked through another to push the Lions’ lead to six early in the second quarter. 6-0 Lions. Detroit’s defense forced a FOURTH STRAIGHT three-and-out on the next possession. This time, Romeo Okwara came up big with a third-down sack. Detroit’s defense was just absolutely dominating: Back-to-back passes to TJ Jones and Golladay for 12 and 16 yards respectively got Detroit onto the Vikings’ side of the field again. But, again, Detroit couldn’t muster much once getting into field goal position. Prater was true, this time, from 48. 9-0 Lions.But the defensive floodgates would not hold forever. The Vikings not only got their first first down on the next drive, but they would find the end zone. On a key third-and-long Eli Harold Jersey White , Kirk Cousins drew Darius Slay away from his zone commitment, and found Adam Thielen for a 40-yard play. Slay was injured on the play after delivering a big hit, and Cousins would pick on Marcus Cooper Sr. for a touchdown a few plays later. 9-7 Lions.Thanks to smart timeout usage, the Lions offense had a great opportunity to get more points on the board before the half, but the offense couldn’t muster up any points. Unfortunately, the Lions offense got off the field so quickly that they allowed the Vikes an opportunity to score. Then this happened:14-9 Vikings.Third quarterThe Vikings started with the ball, and suddenly their offense had life. Minnesota was able to run the ball effectively for the majority of the drive, but Detroit’s defense held up strong in the red zone. Vikings kicker Dan Bailey avoided the Audible Dong on the 24-yard field goal attempt, and pushed Minnesota’s lead to 17-9. The Lions offense responded with a quick three-and-out, giving the Vikings a chance to extend their lead to two possessions, but Detroit’s defense forced a speedy three-and-out of their own. However, Detroit gave the ball quickly back after Matthew Stafford was sacked for the first time in the game on third down.Fourth QuarterThis time, the Vikings offense took advantage of the good field position and pushed the score to two possession. Detroit’s defense looked gassed and couldn’t get a stop, as Cousins ended up finding Kyle Rudolph for his second touchdown of the game. 24-9 Vikings.Detroit’s offense had a couple of chances to respond, but couldn’t get anything going. Eventually they would turn it over on downs deep in their own territory, giving the Vikings an easy field goal to extend their lead to three scores. 27-9 Vikings.Matt Cassel came in the game late to go four-and-out on his own, ending any distant hope of a miraculous comeback. The loss drops the Lions to 5-10. This is the first season since 2012 that the Lions have suffered double-digit losses and only the second time during the Matthew Stafford era when he has played in at least 11 games. The Vikings, on the other hand, hold onto their six-seed in the playoff race, but the Eagles remain hot on their heels. PregameIf you’re here, it either means you’re going to make a snarky comment about watching the Detroit Lions game inebriated, or you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan, or you’re someone interested in the NFC Wild Card Race http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-frank-ragnow-jersey , or you’re a Lions fans going down on the sinking ship.At 5-9, the Lions’ playoff hopes are gone, as are their hopes to finishing .500 or above. The only thing left is to play spoiler, and boy could they be a big spoil this week. The 7-6-1 Vikings are clinging to the last playoff spot, just above the 7-7 Eagles and 7-7 Washington team. To stay ahead of both teams, the Vikings desperately need a win, especially with an incoming game against the Chicago Bears next week. Unfortunately for Detroit, they’re pretty beat up this week, and they haven’t had a ton of success against this Vikings defense recently. Detroit hasn’t scored more than 20 points in five weeks, and the last time they faced off, Detroit was held to just nine points.

The practice squad can be formed no sooner than by 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 2. The waiver wire runs from 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday through 12:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.The Bengals may also look to the waiver wire for potential additions to the 53-man roster.There are some players on this list who will not be around come Monday. That could include Cody Core and Davontae Harris who may go on IR with the potential to be brought back. Michael Johnson is the biggest surprise cut, though he’s far from the only surprise.

After initially saying he hadn’t done any such thing, Mayfield is now owning up to it — and telling anyone who doesn’t like it that’s too bad.“You’re supposed to play with emotion,” Mayfield said. “You’re supposed to play with passion. Quite honestly http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-billy-price-jersey , if you don’t like it, whatever. Football’s not meant to be a soft game. I could care less.”Mayfield has made no secret of the fact that he doesn’t care much for Jackson, his first NFL head coach, who was fired midway through this season. After the first Bengals-Browns game Mayfield avoided Jackson’s attempt at a hug, and now we have Mayfield saying he doesn’t much care if people don’t like his staredown of his former coach.What’s more important is that Mayfield has emerged as an excellent quarterback in the half-season since Jackson was fired.

And that includes fans of opposing teams.”Judge Joan B. Gottschall issued a 21-page ruling explaining the decision. She found that Beckman “made a fairly modest showing that he is likely to succeed in demonstrating that the Bears” are subject to the First Amendment as a state entity. Based on the various factors that determine whether a party can secure what essentially is an advance on a victory before actually winning in court, she decided that Beckman must wait while the wheels of justice continue to churn.The fact that he’s gotten this far is already a win. Judge Gottschall already has rejected an effort by the Bears to dismiss the case entirely. The case will now proceed, and Beckman will have to leave his cheesehead in the car, if he wants to have access to the sideline.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/62978/womens-darius-slay-jersey Wed, 08 May 2019 05:47:43 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/62978/womens-darius-slay-jersey The 2019 NFL schedule is almost here!"The NFL schedule is set to be released Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET Womens Barry Sanders Jersey , as announced on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” program. Last week, the NFL announced the preseason schedule. For the Detroit Lions, that means four exhibition games against the Patriots, Texans, Bills and Browns. As for the regular season schedule, we already know who the Lions will be playing, just not when they’ll be playing them. At this point, we know Detroit has home games against the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Cowboys, Giants, Chiefs Womens Levine Toilolo Jersey , Chargers, and Buccaneers. In 2019, they’ll travel to play the Bears, Packers, Vikings, Washington, Raiders, Eagles, Broncos and Cardinals. However, we still don’t know how many nationally televised games they’ll have, including Sunday Night, Monday Night or Thursday Night games. It will also be important to note when they play some of their outdoor away games. Unlike last year, Detroit will be playing outdoors a lot on the road Eli Harold Jersey , and the weather could play a factor in places like Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Denver, Chicago and, of course, Green Bay. ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — In firing him after the 2017 season, the Detroit Lions indicated the Jim Caldwell era was just not good enough.But meaningless December football is back in Detroit again as first-year coach Matt Patricia’s Lions will play out the string with four games with nothing at stake but draft position remain.The Lions are 4-8 and all but mathematically eliminated from the NFC playoff race. Road games at Arizona and Buffalo are next before Detroit finishes with divisional games at home against Minnesota and at Green Bay.After Sunday’s 30-16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit has to win out to finish better than Caldwell’s worst of four seasons as coach. After three winning seasons and two playoff berths under Caldwell, the Lions will be .500-or-below for the 13th time in the past 14 non-Caldwell coached seasons.A lot of things have changed in Matthew Stafford’s 10 seasons with the Lions, but the franchise is back in the losing position he grew accustomed to in the first half of his career.“I come to work every day, work my tail off, try to push our team to be as good as we can be T.J. Jones Jersey White ,” Stafford said Sunday after his fumble on an Aaron Donald sack ended a chance for the Lions to take their first lead in the fourth quarter.“There was some good in this game, there was some bad. We’ve got to fix the bad and keep doing a lot of the good. But I’m going to come to work ready to go.”Public reflection is rare during an NFL season, especially under Patricia, who was groomed under Bill Belichick in New England.“For me, it’s been pretty much the same from all the way through,” Patricia said Monday. “I don’t know what the team’s been previous, I don’t know what it’s been before I got here. I’m just trying to make sure we build from where we’re at.”Injuries have decimated Stafford’s skill position options, as wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) is out for the season and running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed his second straight game Sunday. Wide receiver Golden Tate was leading the Lions in receptions for the fifth straight season when he was traded to Philadelphia on Oct. 30.After watching film Monday, defensive tackle Damon Harrison, acquired Oct. 25 in a trade from the New York Giants, said he saw positives from Sunday’s defensive effort.“There was a lot more good than bad, we actually played a pretty good game, the score wasn’t a great indication of how close that game was Womens Darius Slay Jersey ,” Harrison said after the Lions trailed 16-13 heading into the fourth quarter against a Super Bowl contender. “It was encouraging to see everybody take the technique and the coaching and bring it into Sunday.”The Lions did have a win on Monday though.Offensive lineman Taylor Decker scored his first touchdown of his football career on Sunday, faking a block but releasing into a wide-open space of the Rams’ defense for an 11-yard touchdown.In his euphoria, Decker threw the ball into the stands. Later, on Twitter, Decker put out a plea to relieve the keepsake.“To whoever caught/has the ball I threw into the stands,” his tweet Sunday night began, “I’ve played football since first grade, and that was my first ever touchdown. I’d love to have the ball, and would be more than happy to hook you up if you’d be willing. #defendtheden #bigmantouchdown”The story had a happy ending, with Decker tweeting Monday morning that the case was solved.Decker tweeted: “I HAVE FOUND HIM!!!!!!! AND HE IS BEING GREAT ABOUT IT #socialmediastrikesagain”It’s the kind of karma that his team could use.“We need to keep pushing that forward and we need to go out and play better and we need to go out and win,” Patricia said. “We want to put it together the best we can, go out there and go play a really good ballgame. That would probably be the best thing for us.”]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/62865/kevin-huber-jersey-white Wed, 08 May 2019 03:44:51 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/62865/kevin-huber-jersey-white You can say the Bengals’ problems started with Marvin Lewis (or more specifically Mike Brown) http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-c.j.-uzomah-jersey , but their issues went beyond their head coach of 16 seasons.There’s no better time for the organization known for its conservatism and love of continuity to continue deviating miles from their modus operandi than right now, and it appears they’re taking this advice.Under Lewis, the Bengals have dealt with plenty offseason transitions, but none will be quite like the one they’re about to undergo. The Bengals have changed their offensive coordinator three times, defensive coordinators four times, and have drafted a quarterback in the first two rounds just twice in Lewis’ 16-year tenure. It’s possible that they do all three within the next four months, perhaps with the exception of drafting a quarterback — but they shouldn’t eliminate that possibility like they did for the last two years.For so long, familiar faces have populated the locker room and sidelines of Paul Brown Stadium along with Lewis. They’ve shared his successes, failures and everything in between with him. But with Lewis’ departure finally coming to fruition, some — if not most — of those players and coaches need to suffer the same fate if the Bengals want to truly move forward. This process has been a few years in the making, but the dial needs to be turned to 11 over the course of the next several weeks. Starting with the coaches, offensive coordinator Bill Lazor has shown his play-calling abilities rest somewhere between Ken Zampese and Jay Gruden. On a roster that oozes offensive talent and depth, he can produce competent results, but the team can do much better than him. Lazor has been interviewed for the head coaching gig as an in-house candidate, but he wasn’t the only one.Hue Jackson, perhaps more than anybody in this article, needs to be following Lewis out of the door. Jackson will also be interviewed for Lewis’ job, but he proved that he is not capable of leading an NFL franchise. Jackson and Lewis are obviously close friends, but Cincinnati would be best to part ways with him for good right now Womens Kevin Huber Jersey , while Jackson’s one connection has been terminated. Special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons is the third and final in-house interviewee and could prove to showcase his leadership skills with increased power, but they need to be thinking bigger. Simmons can keep his job though, no one would complain about that. But would he be able to do so under a brand new management?An out-of-house hiring no only needs to happen in Cincinnati, but he needs to be given the same power Lewis has accumulated for so many years. If the choice comes between promoting an assistant under Lewis and bringing in a new face that would likely purge the remaining staff for his own preferred coaches, then there isn’t a choice at all.Of course, the coaches shouldn’t be the only ones worried.Lewis was a player’s coach, there’s no denying that. Throughout the years he’s developed countless close relationships with players that he watched grow up before his own eyes. A good number of those players have established long careers in Cincinnati, or seemed to find their way back to Lewis’ Bengals after previously leaving. Sometimes this was an advantage to the team, other times it was a detriment. The vast majority of those players that have overstayed their welcome or received one-too many contracts to come back are gone or retired now, but there remains some notable players that could still play for the new coach in 2019. The defense is where we’ll find most of these players.10-year veteran Michael Johnson has played more games under Lewis than any other current Bengal (aside from specialists Kevin Huber and Clark Harris) and will become a free agent once more in 2019. He has developed into a quality defensive end, but his days of playing are winding down rapidly. He deserves all the respect in the world, but it’s time to move on for good.The linebacker position could see a mass exodus this offseason as well, and rightfully so. Vincent Rey hasn’t the number of career starts as Johnson, but should be equally respected for the way he’s composed himself. Hardy Nickerson, the son of a former player who played under Lewis back in the 90s, isn’t good enough to warrant a roster spot and like Jackson, he has no pull now that Lewis is gone.Vontaze Burfict of course is the primary focal point of this group, and his connection with Lewis cannot be understated. Burfict’s antics were tolerated under Lewis’ reign, but would they under a different coach? Even beyond his extra-curricular activities Kevin Huber Jersey White , Burfict’s concussions are the more pressing issues for him and they may just be enough to prohibit him from playing under his pricey contract, at least that’s how the new coach could look at it.Then, there’s Andy Dalton.The new coach will have a huge impact on the Bengals’ potential progression, but Dalton is still Dalton, and they’ll ultimately go as far as he takes them. There’s no need to deny the fact that Dalton has earned respect as an NFL starter, just like his clear limitations are just as obvious. The eight-year veteran will turn 32 next season, and over the past several years, he’s exemplified the threshold between a franchise quarterback, and a replaceable starter.When all the pieces were in place, Dalton performed well; when some pieces were taken out, he struggled accordingly. A new coach who doesn’t inherit a quarterback with multiple years left on his rookie contract will typically try to bring in one of his own sooner rather than later. Dalton’s contract doesn’t expire until the conclusion of the 2020 season, but he can now be cut without any cap penalties. Without a true heir on the roster (Jeff Driskel ain’t it), it’s more likely that the team will plan on keeping Dalton for as long as he’s the best option at the position. But that shouldn’t be for long. Is he safe for now? Yes. But as soon as the new coach gets settled in with his staff, he should be looking at future replacements immediately. No longer should the Bengals be solely focused on building around Dalton, they need to be thinking about the future beyond him.From a macro-perspective, the Bengals have a handful of foundation pieces that will help the transition to leadership. But the franchise will not be able to completely move on from the Marvin Lewis era until the numerous names that have long been associated with him are out of the picture. The Bengals’ organization needs a fresh start, not a re-tool — and they can’t do the latter anymore with Lewis gone.Film Room: Bengals tight ends play multiple roles in win vs. Colts The Cincinnati Bengals shook things up a bit this preseason releasing long time h-back Ryan Hewitt and keeping four tight ends on their roster. Although tight end Mason Schreck was impressive in the preseason, many thought that he would be the odd man out. When he did make it, it was assumed that it was due to the threat of Tyler Eifert getting injured. In the Bengals’ Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-preston-brown-jersey , they used Eifert, Tyler Kroft, and C.J. Uzomah heavily and showed how they will deal with the absence of Hewitt. While Eifert is the star of the group and Kroft was the starter most of last season it was Uzomah who played the most snaps against the Colts, likely due to his versatility.In the first clip, Uzomah is lined up in the natural tight end position to the left of the formation. Eifert lined up at fullback offset to the twins. As the play action occurs, the linebackers to the twins side look to fill, and Eifert sneaks right by them and is wide open.In this clip, both Kroft and Uzomah are on the field, but neither is lined up as a true tight end. Uzomah is lined up in the slot at the top of the screen and Kroft is lined up in an h-back position on the bottom of the screen. The Bengals run a bootleg with Uzomah running the deep crosser and Kroft blocking down on the defensive end before releasing to the flat.On this play, Uzomah is lined up as an attached tight end on the right side of the formation. He catches the ball on a quick out route.Here, Uzomah is lined up as the slot receiver on the right side of the formation. Running back Joe Mixon motions out to the right and the quarterback Andy Dalton throws him a quick screen. Uzomah provides a bigger and stronger blocker in front of him. On this goal-line play, Uzomah lines up at tight end on the right side of the formation. Offensive tackle Jake Fisher lines up at tight end on the left side, and Kroft lines up at the h-back off of his shoulder. Rookie defensive lineman Sam Hubbard is lined up at fullback. He leads the way for Mixon on the touchdown run. The Bengals load up the right side of the formation on this play with Kroft at tight end on the line of scrimmage, Uzomah at h-back outside of him, and Eifert lined up outside of Uzomah. Both Uzomah and Eifert are lined up tight like h-backs but in staggered stances like wide receivers. Their alignment puts them in a position to contribute as a blocker in the run game, and their stances allows them to get a quick release in the pass game. This is a pass play and both get quickly into their routes.Kroft lines up at tight end on the right side with Uzomah outside of him in the h-back position. Running back Tra Carson lines up in front of Mixon in the I-formation. Right guard Alex Redmond pulls around and kicks out. Center Billy Price also pulls and leads up the hole along with Carson.The Bengals have a plethora of tight ends who can contribute in multiple ways. In Week 1, they showed that they can use multiple players at the position; using the strengths of each to put them in a position to succeed.]]> elaine95
