Clay Matthews left a strong impression on Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay the last time he saw him in person on a football field.While 2018 was a disappointing year for Matthews overall Lane Taylor Jersey White , his best game of the season arguably came against McVay and the Rams in October. Matthews notched a season-high seven tackles and recorded one of his 3.5 sacks on the season. Matthews may be set to enter his 11th season in the NFL, but the prospect of having Matthews a part of a Wade Phillips defense has McVay eager to get started.“We saw a lot of good stuff when we saw him last year and I鈥檝e always respected his game from afar when you鈥檝e coached against him,” McVay told reporters this week at the coaches’ breakfast at the league meetings. “So when you鈥檙e able to add two players like he and Eric Weddle – veteran players that are about the right stuff, being out in L.A. it鈥檚 a good deal to be able to get Clay back home.”Specifically Tramon Williams Jersey , it’s Matthews’ versatility that McVay is most excited to see join his team.“He brings a veteran presence that has a lot of versatility to his skill set,” McVay said. “And when you look at it from an offensive standpoint when you think about the guys that can do a lot of different things that pose problems to a defense he does the same thing to offenses. He can rush the passer he can play in coverage. You can move him all over the place. So I think versatile players that are smart that have the ability to have production in a lot of ways they give you a lot of different things they can do defensively.”Matthews thought the fit with the Rams would be ideal for him as well. He’ll get a chance to pair with Dante Fowler, Michael Brockers and Aaron Donald on the Rams defensive line.

(AP) — Justin Reid intercepted the ball in the end zone and saw nothing but green grass in front of him.“I saw the daylight and I have to hit it,” Reid said. “I wasn’t going to let anyone stop me.”No one’s stopping the Houston Texans right now.Article continues below ...Reid’s 101-yard interception return touchdown was the big play Houston needed to overcome a mistake-prone Deshaun Watson and beat the Washington Redskins 23-21 on Sunday, tying the franchise record with their seventh consecutive victory.From a gruesome , season-ending injury to Redskins quarterback Alex Smith to three turnovers, it wasn’t pretty, but the Texans (7-3) became the first team since the 1925 New York Giants to win seven in a row after starting 0-3.“With this team, you never know where the play’s going to come from,” defensive end J.J. Watt said. “You never know who’s going to make it — offense, defense Lonnie Johnson Houston Texans Jersey , special teams — but you’ve got to find a way. For the seventh time, we found a way.”While Watson was 16 of 24 for 208 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, Smith broke his right tibia and fibula on a sack by Kareem Jackson midway through the third quarter and will require surgery. Smith’s right leg turned the wrong way in eerily similar fashion to Joe Theismann’s broken leg on a Lawrence Taylor sack exactly 33 years ago to the day.“I know it was very painful for him and heartbreaking for a lot of people,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “He’s a great guy and hard worker and one of the key leaders on this football team. These things happen in pro football, unfortunately. Just hate to see them happen with a guy like Alex.”Colt McCoy replaced Smith and threw for a touchdown pass and led a long scoring drive for Washington (6-4), which likely will have to rely on the journeyman quarterback the rest of the way. When a McCoy-led drive finished with an Adrian Peterson touchdown to put the Redskins up 21-20 early in the fourth quarter, it was the first lead change in a game involving the Redskins all season.“You pray for opportunities to get to play,” said McCoy, who was 6 of 12 for 54 yards. “You don’t like to see it how it happened today.”Houston went ahead for good on a 54-yard field goal by Ka’imi Fairbairn Lonnie Johnson Jersey 2019 , who missed a 44-yarder earlier. The winning streak stayed alive when Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins missed a 63-yard field-goal attempt with 3 seconds left.“We just have belief,” Watson said. “Everyone keeps fighting. No one is doubting each other. Regardless, we try to play complementary football, but when the offense needs the defense to help us out, they do that and vice-versa.”EMPTY SEATSEven though there were plenty of empty seats and a total attendance of 61,593 that was far below a sellout, Redskins cornerback Josh Norman called the crowd “electrifying.” Norman last week criticized fans for not having players’ backs at home and said the team plays better on the road.“What an atmosphere, right?” Norman said. “You guys came out and you showed up in a big way. We can’t be more proud and excited to be among you guys. … I applaud you all, for sure.”PETERSON’S UP AND DOWN DAYPeterson ran for two touchdowns to continue climbing the NFL rushing chart, but was bottled up on a lot of his other carries. Peterson’s 3- and 7-yard TD runs gave him 105 in his career and moved him past former Redskins star John Riggins into sole possession of sixth all time Lonnie Johnson Jersey Mens , one behind Jim Brown for fifth.Peterson finished with 51 yards on 16 carries.QUIET THOMASIn his second game with the Texans, Demaryius Thomas was a non-factor. Watson only threw his way twice — once on a play wiped out by a penalty — and the former Broncos receiver did not have a catch.Thomas stayed in Houston during the bye week in Houston to study the playbook and watch film after making a handful of newcomer mistakes in his debut. Thomas had three catches for 61 yards in that game, but disappeared from the offense Sunday.MR. RELEVANTWashington receiver Trey Quinn made a major impact in his return after missing more than two months with a high-ankle sprain. Quinn, who was “Mr. Irrelevant” caught four passes for 49 yards starting in place of injured wideout Jamison Crowder and would have been the emergency QB had McCoy gone down.INJURIESTexans: RG Zach Fulton left with a shoulder injury on the first drive, and LG Senio Kelemete left with an ankle injury in the second quarter. … CB Aaron Colvin missed his seventh game in a row with an ankle injury.Redskins: DL Jonathan Allen was evaluated for a concussion but returned. … Crowder missed his sixth consecutive game with an ankle injury, RB Chris Thompson his third consecutive game with injured ribs and LT Trent Williams his third consecutive game after surgery for a dislocated right thumb.UP NEXTTexans: Host the division rival Tennessee Titans on Monday, Nov. 26.Redskins: Visit the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

GREEN BAY Womens Aaron Ripkowski Jersey , Wis. — When the Green Bay Packers used a fifth-round draft pick on Cole Madison last year, there was optimism that the former Washington State standout would be able to fill an opening at right guard.Madison didn’t report for training camp. He put football on hold to focus on his life.“I love football, but, at that point, it was my health and my life was on the line,” Madison said. “I had to go help myself before my football career. If I didn’t get my chickens in order back then, I don’t think I’d be here right now.”After sitting out his entire rookie season, Madison joined the team for the start of offseason workouts in April and was expected to be on the field this weekend for the Packers’ rookie camp.Madison would not detail exactly what had gone wrong, only saying that his issues had deep roots and were exacerbated by the suicide of Washington State quarterback Tyler Hilinski in January 2018.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinTop Tweets: Wisconsin celebrates Bucks’ winPackers’ Ted Thompson diagnosed with autonomic disorderPackers 2019 undrafted free agent capsulesPackers officially sign Gary, Savage, four other 2019 draft picksFeeling like himself again, Packers’ Madison ready to get back to gridiron“I was going through some stuff for a long time that I was putting off and they caught up to me with the decisions off the field I was doing. I wasn’t making good decisions and it led to bad thoughts,” Madison said. “Tyler, if anything Womens Bart Starr Jersey , helped me with knowing that other people go through things, too. It was a little light at the end of the tunnel — light in a dark area.“It was a first beginning step of a wakeup call for me, how I needed to handle my mental health, was after that entire situation. Me and him were great friends. I would have never known any of that was going on or vice versa. I had my demons going on and no one had any idea what was going on. It’s just one of those things of taking that step when you’ve got those things and not to just bat them down and talk to someone and opening up.”Through those conversations, things improved. By November or December, he said, he began to feel like his old self.“After that, it was getting over the hump, that period of, ‘I feel like me again,” Madison said. “I haven’t felt like me in God knows how long and I finally started to feel positive, feel like, ‘Hey, I can do this’ and no second-guessing myself.”With that Dave Robinson Jersey White , Madison began to think about football again; he didn’t even watch football last year. He began to focus on getting ready physically. He’s listed at the same 6-foot-5 and 308 pounds as he was at the scouting combine in 2018. He called his stamina “great.”“I’m ready to roll,” Madison said. “Took a year off, twiddling my thumbs, now I’m back and letting it loose.”The Packers are eager to see if Madison can reach his potential. There remains a hole at right guard, though they fortified the offensive line with free agent Billy Turner and second-round draft pick Elgton Jenkins.13 Gallery:How NFL draft affected Packers' 2019 opponents“It was great to see Cole back in the building and doing some football things again,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said. “That was a really, really pleasant surprise. I think he was very appreciative about the way we handled things last year. We’re excited to see what he can do for us because he had a really good offseason last year before everything transpired. Very optimistic.”New coach Matt LaFleur is implementing an outside-zone running scheme that is fueled by linemen with a blend of athleticism and power. Gutekunst called Madison an “absolute fit” for what LaFleur is trying to build.“We were really high on Cole when he was coming out,” LaFleur said, thinking back to 2018 when he was offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. “So, we feel like he adds a lot of value to what we can do with him in our system.”Madison’s return will be a day-by-day process. He hasn’t put on pads or blocked somebody since the Senior Bowl in January 2018.His football comeback, however, is secondary to his personal comeback.“I can’t remember the last time I’d wake up and feel positive and not go into bed with negative thoughts in my head,” Madison said. “Just living life and being happy doing it, it’s a blessing.” GREEN BAY Womens Dean Lowry Jersey , Wis. — Time for Joe Philbin to assume an important new responsibility with the Green Bay Packers, and it’s not just the duties that come with taking over as interim head coach.It’s been a while since Philbin has called plays.“Trying to think. Might have been about 20 years, maybe,” Philbin said.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinBucks’ Wes Matthews loves Wisconsin, is a Vikings fanPreview: Packers look to slow Vikings’ revitalized run gameTop Tweets: Yelich thanks fans for support after season-ending injuryAmos sparks rebuilt Packers defense in debutPackers to be tested again by familiar foe in Zimmer, VikingsNow he takes over the job on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons following the Packers’ firing of Mike McCarthy, who also called the plays.The previous time Philbin had that task?“I think it was at Northeastern if I’m not mistaken,” said Philbin, who was offensive coordinator of the Northeastern Huskies in 1995-96.He does have a wealth of experience. A 16-year NFL coaching veteran, Philbin’s college coaching resume goes back to Tulane in 1984. He’s in his second stint as offensive coordinator in Green Bay, having held the job when the Packers won the Super Bowl in the 2010 season, and when the offense set franchise records the next season.Philbin was head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2012-15. He spent two seasons on the Colts’ staff before returning to Green Bay this year. He has been heavily involved in planning, installation and putting together play scripts. He met regularly with McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers.This week, though Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , will be a little different.“Sometimes, because I wasn’t calling the plays, I could kind of peek ahead a little bit so we could move forward a little bit,” Philbin said. “I think that will be the biggest difference. I’m not going to be looking at our next opponent until the game is over.”“And then obviously just sequencing the calls the right way and hopefully they work when we call ’em,” he added.7 Gallery:Upon Further Review: Packers vs. CardinalsAP | Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.McCarthy was fired after a 20-17 loss on Sunday at home to the lowly Arizona Cardinals. His specialty was offense, but the once-prolific production had slacked off. Empty third downs and a lack of potent plays have been season-long issues. Rodgers’ completion percentage is his lowest in three seasons, though he has still thrown just one interception this year. Drops by receivers especially plagued the Packers on Sunday.“I just think you really need to be better in situational offense if you want to win games, so we’re going to pay a little more attention, even more attention, to that the next couple weeks,” Rodgers said, “because we’ve got to fix that if we want to win games.”The change does present a unique wrinkle to how Falcons coach Dan Quinn prepares his defense. He can get his team ready for the unique skillsets of Rodgers and top receiver Davante Adams. But he can’t study Philbin’s tendencies when it comes to calling plays.“The analogy I told the team today,” Quinn said, “if we all had the same playbook Josh Jones Jersey White , we wouldn’t all call plays in the same way or the same style even though it’s all part of it.”It helps to have a quarterback of Rodgers’ caliber to have input on concepts and schemes, Quinn said. But there isn’t a lot of background into figuring out Philbin’s tendencies in clutch situations, such as on third down. Quinn calls those “Got to have it moments.”“Those, hey, you better be ready to call your best stuff because those aren’t scripted. Those are off the cuff,” he said.An intangible is the familiarity between Rodgers and Philbin, who was on staff for the quarterback’s rookie season in 2005. They’ve worked together during highly productive seasons. They apparently share a similar sense of humor.“A lot of dry humor. Joe is, every time he talks he reminds us about how simple this game is,” Rodgers said. “It comes down to the little things and he’s always reminding us and harping on those things.”NOTES: RG Byron Bell (knee) and RT Bryan Bulaga (knee/illness), who both left in the second quarter against Arizona, missed practice. … CB Bashaud Breeland (groin) and S Kentrell Brice (ankle/concussion) were limited. … Little-used RB Tra Carson (rib) and starting CB Kevin King (hamstring) were placed on injured reserve. King’s rookie season last year ended on the injury list because of a shoulder issue. … The team claimed DL Fadol Brown from the Raiders and rookie CB Natrell Jamerson from the Texans. Originally a fifth-round draft pick by New Orleans, Jamerson played in college at Wisconsin.

Smokescreen season is in full effect."We have officially come full circle with NFL Draft rumors. Very early in the draft process Will Harris Jersey Womens , Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn surprised many by saying that every position was on the table for the Lions’ eighth overall pick, very much including quarterback.“If there’s a quarterback out there that we deem could help us this year or in the future, we’ll never close the door on that,” Quinn said at the Season Ticket Holder Summit back in February.But after that quote, rumors died down. No one really took that statement seriously, especially considering the commitment and support both he and Matt Patricia have shown toward Matthew Stafford. There’s no way the Lions would actually pick a first-round quarterback.However, apparently there are some that think Detroit may be serious. According to MMQB’s Albert Breer Matthew Stafford Jersey , some people within the league think Detroit could shock the NFL world.“There’s even been speculation in league circles that they could be the surprise quarterback team,” Breer wrote.It’s worth noting in full context that Breer still ended up selecting Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson in his latest mock draft, and isn’t saying that his sources are coming from the Lions themselves, but rather from what outsiders are thinking of Detroit.We’re in the last week of the draft season, so it’s hard to take anything seriously at this point. However, if this is true, the Lions have at least succeeded in keeping their intentions very guarded. That could be great news Darius Slay Jersey , especially if they’re trying to bait a team to trade up to grab a quarterback before Detroit selects one.Or maybe these rumors are true, and the Lions are actually lining up to do the unthinkable and add their next franchise quarterback. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait too much longer to find out.Monday open thread: Which Lions player is having the best preseason? It’s been a rough preseason for any Detroit Lions fans. Entering the preseason with the optimism from a second straight winning season, a brand new head coach, and a few exciting draft picks, it was easy to be optimistic about this 2018 team. However, the past three games have tested the limits of that faith and has led to a pretty significant increase in concern across Detroit. So let’s try to focus on the positive for a day. There have been some individuals who have stuck out this preseason Marvin Jones Jersey , some surprising, others expected. So today’s Question of the Day is:Which Detroit Lions player is having the best preseason thus far?My answer: I’ll go with one on offense, one on defense. Offensively, wide receiver Brandon Powell has been extremely impressive. Towards the end of training camp, Powell started to stick out as a pretty solid special teams returner. He proved he wasn’t just a practice phenom this preseason by looking like a legitimate option there. He has the most punt returns yards of anyone in the preseason—thanks to his 80-yard touchdown—and he’s also in the top 20 in kick return average (26.0).And I haven’t even mentioned his offensive prowess, where he leads the league with 15 receptions. Granted, he has only turned those 15 catches into 99 yards Kerryon Johnson Jersey , but what exactly is he supposed to do about that? Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel have been allergic to throwing the ball downfield this preseason, and Powell has done a pretty good job getting the most out of each reception.Powell has made it a tough decision for the Lions, and while I still think they carry just four receivers on the roster, leaving Powell as the odd man out, the rookie receiver has done enough to make the Lions seriously consider him. Defensively, I have to give it up to Ricky Jean Francois. Considering he bounced around teams last year, I thought when the Lions signed Francois Amani Oruwariye Detroit Lions Jersey , it was mostly to a mentorship role. I figured he’d be a big help on the practice field and the locker room to get this team up to date on Matt Patricia defensive scheme. While he has undoubtedly taken that role with the team thus far, he has also put his money where his mouth is. He has been one of just a few players who has created pressure from the interior and has been a solid run-stuffer. When he finally played an entire half last week, he impressed with six total tackles, the second highest on the team. It’s pretty amazing that Francois came in just before camp and took a starting role after just a week or two of practice. While that’s equally disappointing for a guy like A’Shawn Robinson, the fact is Francois has already been one of the Lions’ most important offseason signings and the regular season hasn’t even started yet.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage

Some would tell you that there are only three football games left this season. There’s actually six (and no Kevin Huber Jersey White , the Pro Bowl isn’t one of them).In the next two weeks, some of most talented and unheralded college football players will be competing in the three major collegiate all-star games: the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, the East-West Shrine Game, and of course the Senior Bowl. The NFLPA Bowl and the Shrine Game will each take place this upcoming Saturday, with the Senior Bowl happening the following Saturday. One of the best aspects about this circuit of games is seeing players from the NFLPA Bowl and the Shrine Game getting late invitations to compete in the Senior Bowl, due to their inspiring performances. And while the Senior Bowl has the most clout behind it, you can count on a couple players from first two all-star games making an impact early in their NFL careers. Browns edge defender Genard Avery was a participant in last year’s NFLPA Bowl and went on to be drafted in the fourth round of the NFL Draft and have a solid rookie campaign. Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was a shrine game stud that went undrafted and became arguably the steal of last year’s class. Seahawks defensive tackle Poona Ford and Bears defensive tackle Bilal Nichols impressed enough during Shrine Game practices were each called up to the Senior Bowl. Both got drafted fairly late and became positive contributors for their teams.Focusing on Saturday’s Shrine Game, it would be wise for the Bengals to have a good presence at the game to get an eye on guys who could be big surprises in the draft. Let’s take a look at some possible Bengals targets from the game. 1. Ty Johnson, Maryland RBThe Bengals don’t really need a running back, which is why it is good that Johnson is more than that. Johnson also returns kickoffs very well and will likely be an impact special teamer early on in his career using his athleticism. He has breakaway speed and was one of the best big-play backs in college football during his career at Maryland. The all-purpose back also has a knack for receiving out of the backfield and has the potential to develop into a rotational-back in his first few seasons in the league.2. Michael Jackson http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-preston-brown-jersey , Miami (FL) CBJackson is one of the more surprising players at the Shrine Game, not because he shouldn’t have gotten an invite, but because he probably should’ve been invited to the Senior Bowl. Jackson was one of the more hyped cornerbacks in the country going into 2018. While he didn’t take the necessary steps forward to live up to the hype, he was still a solid player who could end up being a better pro than college player. Depending on how free agency unfolds, the Bengals may need depth at cornerback with starter potential and that player very well could be Jackson.3. Tyree St. Louis, Miami OTThe Bengals desperately need help at the right tackle position as Bobby Hart simply was not good enough in 2018. St. Louis may not project as an immediate contributor, but he has potential and all the necessary tools to develop into a starter in the league. A short-term investment in a veteran right tackle would suffice for Cincinnati and allow them to draft a developmental player who can takeover for him in a couple years. St. Louis would be a good fit for a role like that.4. Brian Wallace, Arkansas OTWallace has experience with both right tackle and right guard, which just happens to be two of the Bengals biggest needs on the team. The Bengals could finally give Christian Westerman a fair shake at the right guard spot (like they should), but even if Wallace doesn’t start Womens Vontaze Burfict Jersey , he would provide valuable depth at two of the Bengals’ weakest spots with the potential of becoming more than that. The Bengals love versatility in their backup offensive linemen and Wallace is the perfect example of the kind of player they normally look for when filling out their roster.5. Daniel Wise, Kansas DTThe Bengals pass rush suffered the most when Carl Lawson tore his ACL in Week 8, but Ryan Glasgow’s ACL tear also noticeably impacted the Bengals’ front four. Glasgow’s pass-rushing development was evident to start the season and his skills as a run defender did not dip. After his injury, Cincinnati brought in a number of adequate defensive tackles to compensate for their loss, but injuries kept depleting the position.If the Bengals want to address defensive tackle in the draft, they’ll have a plethora of options at the top with how outstanding this class is. If they want to wait, Wise would be the the perfect choice to fill what they need and lost when Glasgow went down. Kansas is not known for their football, but Wise’s production is amongst the very best in this year’s class, and he should not be judged by the school he played for.The Senior Bowl is not the only all-star game to look for talent. This year’s Shrine Game features these talented players and many more that can help the Bengals in 2019. The Bengals are searching for a head coach still, but mock draft season stops for no one! It isn’t a secret where Cincinnati’s biggest holes are in their roster. There are also enough talented players who could come in and contribute at other areas on the defense falling close to the 11 spot for the Bengals to snatch up as well. Here is SB Nation’s most recent selection for the Bengals: White is the kind of linebacker that the Bengals need to add. Cincinnati’s linebacker troubles came to a head in 2018 when it just looked obvious to everyone watching and playing that the linebackers for the Bengals couldn’t keep up with any sort of athleticism. White could be a guy to bring that unit into the modern NFL with linebackers who can play sideline-to-sideline.There will likely be plenty to criticize about White as the draft draws closer Jordan Willis Jersey , and prospects are dissected as much as humanly possible. It is still easy to see that White’s athletic ability is unmatched, and he would be a clear upgrade over any linebacker the Bengals currently have. One of the biggest issues people have found so far is he tends to bite on play fakes, but you can live with that if it means he can actually keep a running back from bouncing it outside for a big gain.As far as other prospects that were available when the Bengals selected at 11, there are some pretty interesting names, although they aren’t exactly at positions of need.Ed Oliver, defensive tackle, HoustonHe is just a physical freak. He simply looks like a man among boys at times on the inside of the defensive line. He is a great run stopper, but what really makes him a great prospect is just how quickly he gets going after the ball is snapped. Oliver already has a pretty high floor, and he has room to become even better if he develops even a little more as a pass rusher, and Geno Atkins isn’t getting any younger.Clelin Ferrell Womens Vincent Rey Jersey , defensive end, ClemsonDefensive end isn’t a huge need, but you can never have too many pass rushers. We saw how badly it derailed the Bengals pass rush when Carl Lawson went down with an injury. Ferrell is the prototype for defensive ends in today’s NFL, and this draft has a ton of pass rushers that one is bound to fall to the Bengals at 11 if they choose to draft what would likely be Michael Johnson’s replacement.For the quarterback crowdThe dream of getting Dwayne Haskins should be dead for any Bengals fan. It is also unlikely Cincinnati will be looking to draft a quarterback with their 11th selection. It is still something worth following considering the team is changing directions at head coach. SB Nation currently has Drew Lock out of Missouri going 13th to the Dolphins and Daniel Jones of Duke going 28th to the Patriots. Teams who need a quarterback will likely change drastically as there seem to be an abundance of available veterans who will be flooding the market soon, and the stock of these two quarterbacks will likely change as the draft draws closer. It is hard to imagine the Bengals having their choice of the second quarterback off the board at 11, as most teams looking to get their guy trade up to draft them.

The Packers decided to go in a new direction with their EDGE rushers this off-season Justin Vogel Jersey White , bringing in two new Smiths." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTThis is the fourth and final installment of a series examining the free agent moves around the NFC North division.After last years dabbling in the shallow end of free agency, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst took off the organization’s water wings and waded deeper into the pool. He added key pieces to a defense that lacked depth last season, while cutting bait with some familiar faces.The new signings by the Packers changed the draft strategy of the team and how analysts might have looked at potential picks. There is still great advantage to adding a pass rusher in the draft, despite signing Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith as edge rushers, but now the need is less dire if the right prospect isn’t there with one of the team’s first two picks at 12 or 30 overall.Both Smiths have sack numbers that are lower than one would like to see from stud pass rushers given the large sums of money they received, but their situations can be seen as a cause for the lack of production. Preston logged 53 pressures in 468 pass rushing stats last year, which ranks among the league’s best. As we’ve heard quite clearly this off-season, it’s about how well disrupt the quarterback that’s important.Za’Darius Smith put together 8.5 sacks last season, but in limited action. There’s reason to think that perhaps the production was a flash in the pan, or alternatively, could mean that more opportunities for him to be disruptive will mean even greater sack production.The Packers also added a young safety in Adrian Amos. Not only was he taken from a division rival, but he helps plug a glaring weakness after Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was dealt to Washington last season. Eddie Jackson got a lot of the shine in Chicago, but his former teammate, Amos, is a skilled safety who allowed Jackson to do what he could in certain cases. Amos is a sound tackler who can provide run-game support in the box as well as cover deep.Bringing in new players weren’t the only moves the Packers made this off-season. They cut bait with long-time Packer Clay Matthews III by letting him walk in free agency and released Nick Perry just two years after signing him to a hefty extension in 2017. Matthews was an aging EDGE who probably wasn’t worth a new contract given that he’s mostly rotational pass rusher at this point. Perry, meanwhile, had one good year just in time to earn a fat extension Womens Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , but around that, his time in the NFL has been marred by injury and spotty play. It was time to cut ties with the linebacker and start fresh. Gutekunst can now shift his focus to the draft without having urgent needs looming over the Packers’ two draft picks in the first round. Another EDGE? Adding a tight end in addition to re-signing Marcedes Lewis? An offensive lineman? All options are on the table.Major AdditionsZa’Darius Smith, EDGEAdrian Amos, SPreston Smith, EDGEBilly Turner, OLRe-signedMarcedes Lewis, TEGeronimo Allison, WR (RFA)Departed in Free Agency/ReleasedClay Matthews, EDGE (Rams)Nick Perry, EDGE (unsigned)Randall Cobb, WR (Cowboys)Bashaud Breeland, CB (Chiefs)Jake Ryan, ILB (Jaguars) As the rare showdown approaches between Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, the man who will be charged with stopping Rodgers is glad that he doesn’t have to do it very often.“Well, he killed us the last time we played him,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick told reporters on Wednesday, referring to a 26-21 loss at Green Bay that featured Rodgers averaged 9.7 yards per attempt. “I mean http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-demetri-goodson-jersey , he’s a great player. He does everything well. He reads coverages well, very accurate throwing the ball. He’s got a great touch down the field, short, intermediate. They get a lot of catch-and-run plays. A lot of that is because of his great accuracy. He puts the ball right on the receiver and doesn’t have to break stride and can just keep running with it. Very mobile in the pocket, extends plays, really good vision down the field, uses the cadence well, is a good situational player. I mean, he’s one of the great quarterbacks in the National Football League; no question about it. He does everything good. He can even play golf. He’s a good golfer, too.”Belichick mused for a moment that maybe he’d like to see Rodgers more than once every four years, before quickly talking himself out of that idea.“I guess it would be good if we played him more than that, but you know what I mean,” Belichick said. “I’m in no rush to see him every week. I wouldn’t want to be in that division.”With everyone else comparing Rodgers and Brady this week, it made sense to get Belichick’s views on whether he’d want to have to try to stop Brady.“Yeah, well, I’ve never played against Tom Brady,” Belichick said. “So I’m glad he’s our quarterback. He’s a great quarterback. He’s won a lot of games for us and hopefully he’ll win a lot more and we’ve won a lot of games because of him Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey White , but I’ve never played against Tom Brady so it’s a different context. I’d say playing against Aaron Rodgers is very, very difficult. He’s as good as anybody that I鈥檝e faced and we’ve faced a lot of good ones through the years. That’s not to take anything away from anybody else. I’m just saying the guy is a great player. He can do everything that a quarterback needs to do consistently. He does it well. He throws a lot of touchdowns. He doesn鈥檛 throw very many interceptions. The receivers make a ton of yards after he gets them the ball, and a big part of that is him getting them the ball in space, on the run, so that they can continue to gain positive yards after the catch. He doesn鈥檛 make them work for the ball. He gets out of some plays that very few guys can get out of. He’s got tremendous production down the field. Once again, he leads the league in touchdowns-to-interceptions. He leads the league in big plays. He’s thrown however many long passes to however many different receivers. It’s not all one guy. He’s a great player.”But Belichick realizes, as everyone should, that it’s not really a showdown between the two players.“Yeah, well, they’re not going to be on the field at the same time,” Belichick said.Still, they’ll be on the same field in the same game, and Belichick continued to gush about Rodgers, when asked about his mobility.“Well, look, he only runs when he has to run,” Belichick said. “He doesn’t go back there and just start running around for free exercise. If he can throw it http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-deshone-kizer-jersey , he’ll throw it and put it on the money and give the receiver the ball and let him play with it, let him run with it. If he needs to extend the play and there is space for him to extend the play, he’s very good at extending it. He’s fast, he’s quick, he’s got good pocket presence. He doesn鈥檛 run a lot but when he does run he’s gained some big plays — 20, 25, 30 yards running the ball if there’s nobody right there because he’s got that kind of speed and judgement. But there are plenty of plays where he just buys another second, buys a couple more seconds and then it’s 50 yards downfield. It doesn鈥檛 go down in the books as a scramble, but it’s an extended play and it’s due to his ability to get out of trouble but it’s also — his accuracy down the field is remarkable and he makes some unbelievable throws and it’s to everybody. It鈥檚 not just one guy. He just sees a little space down there wherever the defender is. He puts the ball where the receiver can get to it and the defender can’t get to it and it’s 50 yards. It could be over his head, it could be outside, it could be inside, he could under throw him, he could back-shoulder him. He’s got tremendous accuracy, a quick release and great vision. He sees guys coming at him but he doesn’t really see them. He just sees the receiver and puts the ball where it needs to go.”As a result, the Packers often go where they need to go. But not nearly as frequently as the Patriots do. Which raises an interesting question: What if Rodgers was a Patriot and Brady was a Packer? How many rings would each guy have?

2019 Draft Watch: 4 prospects the Lions could target during Week 4 EDGE Brian Burns (Florida State) | 6-foot-5 Graham Glasgow Jersey White , 235 pounds, JuniorNorthern Illinois at Florida State | 3:30 p.m. EST on ESPNUDespite Florida State’s early struggles this year, Brian Burns remains a bright spot for the Seminoles. At 235 pounds, Burns is a bit thin for the position, so he’ll need to pack on a few pounds if he wants to stay in there on running downs, but his athleticism and pass rushing skills are why he’s being talked about as a top-10 pick right now. Burns exhibits a variety of moves to get to the quarterback, and has the fluidity and flexibility to contort his way around opposing tackles consistently. Of his notable pass rushing moves, Burns’ spin move is probably his most notable and deadly move, which he put on display in Week 1 against Virginia Tech. I don’t know what’s more impressive, the spin move or the ability to redirect his eyes and change directions after the spin move to bring the quarterback down. Burns is the type of pass rusher and athlete the Lions desperately need on the edge, and sadly, while Burns might hear is name called early in the draft, that could be where the Lions are picking. IDL Raekwon Davis (Alabama) 6-foot-7, 317 pounds http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-tracy-walker-jersey , Junior#22 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama | 3:30 p.m. EST on CBSEither you’re sick of Alabama prospects because of A’Shawn Robinson or you don’t really care and you’re pretty excited about how Da’Shawn Hand is performing as a rookie so far. I tend to not believe in the horse crap theory of “never draft a player from (enter school here) because we haven’t had much luck there,” because every player is different. I seriously had someone tell me that they wouldn’t even consider looking at Duke linebacker Joe Giles-Harris, because Laken Tomlinson didn’t work out for us, and there haven’t been many good players to come from Duke’s football program. Um, okay. Davis is a monster, physically, and it often takes two defenders to impede him, sometimes even three. Some have compared Davis—due to his size and skill—to 49ers defensive lineman, DeForest Buckner who is fresh off of a dominating performance against Frank Ragnow and the rest of the Lions’ O-line. Davis is a work in progress as a pass rusher but shows signs of dominance with his raw strength and also does a nice job of getting underneath the pads of opposing O-linemen despite his height. With some work with former Alabama DL coach Bo Davis, Davis could see his potential unlocked with the Lions.Raekwon Davis showed up huge during Alabama’s biggest games last year. We are still waiting for any Lions interior D-lineman to show up at any time this year. LB Devin White (LSU) 6-foot-1, 240 pounds, JuniorLouisiana Tech at #6 LSU | 7:00 p.m. EST on ESPNUI left White off of my watch list from last week when highlighting last week’s LSU game because I hadn’t really watched any film on him yet, so I decided to follow my own advice and give that game a watch. It was hard not to notice White, who was flying around the field and constantly near the ball at the end of every play. The most notable play came on an important fourth-and-1 Miles Killebrew Jersey White , where White blew up the play and caused a turnover on downs, then celebrated with Cam Newton’s own “Superman” pose to the Auburn crowd. The range and athleticism jump at you when watching White, and those traits are huge in today’s prototype NFL off-ball linebacker. However, in a way, White reminds me a little of Jarrad Davis at times with his hesitance and recklessness in pursuit. White is prone to missing a tackle or two and occasionally overcommits on fakes. S Jaquon Johnson (Miami) 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, SeniorFIU at #21 Miami (FL) | 3:30 p.m. EST on ESPN2With the Lions’ secondary not performing all that well to start the year, Glover Quin appearing to “lose a step” and Tavon Wilson getting abused by the opposing team creating mismatches against him, the safety position shot up pretty high on the list of needs for Detroit.Unfortunately, Johnson may not be able to play in today’s game against FIU, but I still wanted to take this chance to talk about one of my early favorite prospects in the draft, at a position that the Lions may be coveting early. Make sure that when you do get a chance, to give Johnson a watch.Johnson is your typical, versatile safety that can move around the field and step up into man coverage if need be. He’s also very opportunistic and gravitates toward Miami’s infamous “Turnover Chain Womens Jalen Reeves-Maybin Jersey ,” forcing seven turnovers last year (four INTs and three forced fumbles).The Lions could really use an athletic safety and big-time playmaker on this defense, and I think Jaquan Johnson would be a fantastic fit for their secondary. Whether he suits up or not today, keep an eye out for him the rest of the year. It’ll be hard to miss him. The Lions fired their head coach after going 9-7 in 2017 and they went 6-10 in Matt Patricia’s first year on the job, but there’s no sign of second thoughts from the team heading into the 2019 season.Team president Rod Wood sent a letter to season ticket holders saying that the season fell short of the team’s expectations, but added that “I wholeheartedly believe in the direction of our football team.” They wont be asking many of those season ticket holders for a bigger payout in order to see if that faith is appropriate.For all but 5,099 seats in Ford Field, the price of tickets will remain the same or decrease by a few dollars. Of the seats that are seeing an increase, 1,579 will be going up by more than $5 per game for the 2019 season.Wood’s letter also touted the hiring of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and special teams coordinator John Bonamego as reasons to feel good about the future in Detroit. If he’s proven correct, the team might be in position to raise prices on the rest of the tickets come 2020.

CINCINNATI (AP)Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict had his NFL suspension reduced from five to three games Wednesday for his egregious hit on a Chiefs running back during a preseason game. During the second preseason game White Michael Jordan Jersey , Burfict leveled running back Anthony Sherman on a pass play when he wasn’t the intended target. The play wasn’t penalized, but the league can impose fines or suspensions after reviewing plays. Burfict originally got a five-game suspension but challenged it. Appeals officer James Thrash reduced it to three games on Wednesday. Burfict will miss home games against the Ravens and Texans and a road game with the Packers. He’ll be eligible to return for a game in Cleveland on Oct. 1. It’s the second straight season he’s suspended for the first three games. He was punished last season for his hit to Antonio Brown’s head during a 2015 playoff loss to the Steelers. That punishment was due in part to his history of egregious hits. Burfict’s hit on Brown moved the Steelers in range for a last-minute field goal and an 18-16 victory in the opening round of the playoffs. The meltdown left the Bengals without a playoff victory since 1990, the sixth-longest streak of futility in NFL history. In a letter to Burfict notifying him of the latest three-game penalty, the league noted his pattern of hits on defenseless players, including one on Ravens tight end Maxx Williams that drew a $50,000 fine. ”This is not your first offense with respect to illegal hits to defenseless players,” wrote Jon Runyan, the league’s vice president of football operations. ”To the contrary Tyler Eifert Jersey , this incident is consistent with your pattern of egregious safety-related violations, including your hit on a defenseless player during the 2015 wild-card game and your hit against a Baltimore tight end away from the play on Jan. 3, 2016. ”When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player … you must be held accountable for this continuing unacceptable conduct.” The Bengals have staunchly defended Burfict. They supported his appeal of the suspension, contending his hit on Sherman wasn’t a technical violation of the league’s player safety rules. In response, the league cited its rules banning unnecessary contact against defenseless players and those who aren’t involved in the flow of the play. Sherman was coming out of the backfield on a throw down the field to a different player when Burfict lowered his shoulder and leveled him. In defending Burfict on Tuesday, coach Marvin Lewis said the linebacker has changed. Lewis cited several other plays in the same preseason game when Burfict followed the rules. ”On the very next play, the quarterback scrambles Drew Sample Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , Vontaze runs over and jumps over Alex Smith when he slides,” Lewis said. ”The very next play after that, the back goes to the flat and he’s going down for a first down. Vontaze is in coverage and instead of diving in or `spearing’ in, he touches him down and jumps over him out of bounds.” — The Orange and Black Insider Bengals podcast: 9/12 live stream It’s a short turnaround for the Cincinnati Bengals as they set to clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

GREEN BAY Dean Lowry Jersey White , Wis. — Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he was surprised and stunned at the timing of his firing last December and believes his dismissal was handled poorly.McCarthy told ESPN in a story posted Wednesday he knew it might be in trouble if the Packers missed the playoffs. But he was fired with four games left after the Packers lost at home to Arizona, dropping the team to just 4-7-1.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistry“If we missed the playoffs, I expected change might happen,” McCarthy said. “But the timing surprised me. It couldn’t have been handled any worse.”McCarthy said he was summoned to a meeting with team President Mark Murphy after the loss and fired in a discussion he said was impersonal and “hard to swallow.” He said he always tried to be gentle in releasing players and he didn’t get the same treatment.“Mark said it was an ugly loss, and it was time to make (a) change,” McCarthy said. “He said something about the offense and the special teams, and he didn’t think it was going to get any better. There was no emotion to it. That was hard.”Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey declined to comment.McCarthy was in his 13th season as coach and won the Super Bowl in the 2010 season. He finished his tenure in Green Bay with a record of 125-77-2.McCarthy said he is taking a year off but working hard to prepare for a possible coaching job next season.“Time provides the opportunity for reflection and clarity and that’s where I’m at now,” said McCarthy http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jake-ryan-jersey , who interviewed for the Jets’ coaching job that went to Adam Gase. “And it’s clear to me now that both sides needed a change.” If Green Bay’s first-round safety can overcome concerns about his frame, the Packers might have something special in the secondary."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareSharePackers Draft Observations: Darnell Savage could be the long-awaited playmaker at FSMitch Stringer-USA TODAY SportsWith the conclusion of the NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers walked away with eight new players looking to make an immediate impact in 2019. However, the Packers were uniquely able to fill holes on the current roster while planning ahead to the future with a significant blend of uber-athletic, high-ceiling young players. It’s hard to ignore the fact that General Manager Brian Gutekunst values supreme athletic measurables after a second-consecutive year of picking players with incredible workout results. But here are a few other things that stood out from what appears on the surface to be a promising draft with great long-term potential.Green Bay is comfortable with its wide receiver groupSometimes a team’s decision to not draft a certain position is just as telling as when it overloads on another.In late March, I alluded to the fact that the Packers’ biggest improvements at wide receiver would come internally, rather than through the draft. While I was not surprised that Green Bay chose not to take a wide receiver in the draft’s first two days (Jace Sternberger does not count), it was a bit curious that the Packers did not target one on day three. That would seem to signal that the team is comfortable with watching the development of its current young group of receivers, particularly the trio of day-three pass-catchers taken last year.In fact, Green Bay passed on an opportunity to draft a medley of round two wideouts Womens Oren Burks Jersey , including Ole Miss’s A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf, Ohio State’s Parris Campbell, and UMass’s Andy Isabella. Brown and Metcalf in particular seemed like two high-upside players that fell perfectly to Green Bay. While no one can fault the Packers for deciding to improve the offensive line instead, it does mean that there is plenty to be expected from the combination of second-year receivers on the roster and the return of Geronimo Allison in 2019.Darnell Savage may be one of the more underrated players of the first roundWhat a perfect last name for a ball-hawking safety.Green Bay has been searching for a dynamic free safety that can roam the field and create turnovers since it lost Nick Collins. While the Packers have not yet found success with their last fairly-high safety pick Josh Jones, they reeled in a far different kind of safety with Savage.An athletic, blazing fast (4.36-second 40-yard dash) safety with proven college results in forcing takeaways, Savage may be the fastest safety in team history and among the fastest players period. His film is exciting with his ability to break on the ball and close gaps across the field with ease. While everyone has their opinion, Lance Zierlein of NFL.com has been a reliable source in recent draft profiles and it was interesting to note that almost all of Savage’s proclaimed weaknesses had to do with size.If Savage’s football IQ and instincts are deemed to be plus attributes and size is the only real knock, I am feeling pretty good about Green Bay’s selection at pick 21. Dexter Williams was the Packers’ biggest value pick and should contributeOverall, the Green Bay front office seemed to let the board come to them in each round of this year’s draft Brett Favre Jersey , never seeming to reach. While it was apparent in the post-pick presser that the team felt it got a true steal in fifth rounder Kingsley Keke, its second sixth-round pick might have represented the best value.Running back Dexter Williams should quickly find a place in the Packers’ backfield with Aaron Jones struggling to stay healthy for a full season and Jamaal Williams best suited for a change-of-pace role. The Notre Dame product will be fairly fresh entering the league with only one season of more than 39 carries. When able to earn a starting role as a senior, Williams averaged 6.3 yards per carry with 12 rushing scores. Although his ability to pass block will be the key to playing time, Williams clearly is able to get north when running lanes develop and his acceleration in the open field is faster than his 40-yard dash time would indicate. His balance of physicality and speed could eventually get Williams into an every-down role, though it might not come next season.The Packers want to run the ball effectively in 2019 in Matt LaFleur’s offense and it always remains important for the team to be able to run in cold-weather, late-season games. Williams should help in that regard while giving the team the extra body of developmental depth it was searching for.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hasn’t played very well this season. But he continues to be one of the most popular players in the league Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , as it relates to the number of people buying his jersey.Via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Prescott’s jersey ranks No. 5 among all players this year, based on sales made by Dick’s Sporting Goods. Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott appears at No. 7 on that list.It underscores the value of playing for the Cowboys, a team that continues to have a strong national following despite 23 years and counting without an appearance in the NFC championship game. Prescott’s passing numbers have been less-than-pedestrian this year, with all three games ranging between 160 and 170 yards, and he’s averaging one turnover per game. Despite the urgings of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, the team has not maximized Prescott’s running abilities.Maybe it all begins to change today, as the coaching staff’s nothing-to-see-here attitude transforms into changes aimed at getting more out of what they have. The simple reality may be that they just don’t have enough to move the ball as well as they’d like to, or as well as they need to. DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions seem to need a win over Green Bay to stop Matt Patricia’s first season from being a flop.Week 5 may seem a little early for an NFL team to be desperate.Not in Detroit.The Lions (1-3) were embarrassed in a 48-17 loss to the New York Jets http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-jalen-reeves-maybin-jersey , who haven’t won since the opener and appear to be one of the league’s worst teams . The Lions did earn an impressive win over New England in Week 3, but the lone victory is sandwiched between comebacks that fell short at San Francisco and Dallas.Detroit, which hasn’t won a division title since 1993, can get a boost of confidence and go into a bye week on a high if it can beat the Packers (2-1-1) for a third straight time.“It would be huge because if you win this one, you get to enjoy this one for a little bit longer and you got a break to enjoy,” Detroit receiver Golden Tate said. “If you lose this, you’re thinking about it until you’re back on the field.“Besides that, it’s a divisional game. I like to think it counts as two. A win for us and a loss for them, that’s a two-game swing in my mind.”Unlike last year’s season sweep Womens Danny Amendola Jersey , though, the Lions will have to face two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. He was injured for the 2017 matchups.“One of the best ways to get into the playoffs is to win your division games and this is our first opportunity,” Detroit safety Glover Quin said. “If we get a win here, we’ll have two wins just like Green Bay. Minnesota has one. Chicago has three wins, but no one is running away with it right now.”Here are some things to watch for in Sunday’s game at Ford Field:RODGERS REAXGreen Bay’s superstar quarterback voiced his displeasure with the offensive production last week against Buffalo despite a 22-0 win and 400-plus yards of offense. Coach Mike McCarthy has chalked up the frustration to Rodgers’ competitiveness, adding he was also unhappy.Rodgers has been playing through a left knee injury that appears to limit his mobility.“When the adrenaline kicks in on game day, I’ve felt a little better the last couple games,” he said.Green Bay’s top three receivers are banged-up, leading to them miss practice time. Davante Adams has a calf injury. Randall Cobb missed the Bills game with a hamstring injury. Geronimo Allison has been in the concussion protocol.POSSIBLE PAY DAYTate is on pace to have the best season of his nine-year career with team highs in catches (28) Golden Tate III Jersey , yards receiving (389) and receiving touchdowns (three) through four games.Entering the final year of his contract, Tate said his agent and the Lions are not discussing a new deal.“I’m always down for talking, but they completely stopped,” the 30-year-old Tate said.“I’m just going to do my job. I still feel young, which is a major key.”ANOTHER AARONAaron Jones could be emerging from the Packers’ crowded backfield. A slasher with big-play potential, Jones is working his way back into the three-man running back rotation after being suspended the first two games. He’s averaging 6.3 yards per carry after averaging 5.5 yards last year as a rookie.Jamaal Williams started the first four games and has stood out in pass protection. Ty Montgomery is a receiving threat out of the backfield. Jones has been third in the rotation, allowing the Packers to put perhaps their best runner into the game at a time when the defense isn’t as fresh.R-E-S-P-E-C-TDetroit’s Darius Slay, who has an NFL-high nine interceptions since the start of 2017, has become one of the league’s best cornerbacks http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-deshawn-shead-jersey , as last season’s All-Pro recognition confirmed.“He’s a premier corner,” Rodgers said. “And the thing I’ve always respected about him is he does star coverage. He plays on both sides of the field, he plays in the slot, and not many corners do that.”In 2015 after the Lions won in Green Bay, Slay said Rodgers foresaw the recognition that was coming.“You’re underrated,” Slay recalled Rodgers saying to him. “You’re one of the top guys. Keep playing and you’ll get (notoriety).”PRESSURE PACKAGEThe Packers’ defense finally put together a four-quarter performance in the shutout of the Bills after three roller- coaster weeks of alternating one good half with one choppy half. Granted, they had seven sacks and forced three turnovers against a rookie quarterback in Buffalo’s Josh Allen.

EDTShareTweetShareShareFor Bengals’ receivers, loyalty lies above everything elseKen Blaze-USA TODAY SportsDespite constantly preaching the practice, the Cincinnati Bengals haven’t always been able to retain the talent they’ve drafted. They lost players like Carson Palmer, Andrew Whitworth, Johnathan Joseph and numerous others that’ve impacted the team’s style on both sides of the ball. For the Queen City’s beloved football team, they’ve always been able to depend on one position: wide receiver. The Bengals’ receivers have (almost) always shown a loyalty to the city and ownership that fans nor the front office should take for granted.It’s not just the current group of guys that consider Cincinnati their home. It’s both the past and present receivers that have driven this culture within the group. Players like Chad Johnson stayed in Cincinnati because he believed in the team. Johnson played ten seasons with the Bengals, signing multiple contracts to continue his stay. Over the course of that decade, he racked in almost 11,000 yards from scrimmage. A six-time Pro Bowler, Johnson set the tone for the receiving core for years to come. Johnson’s wingman, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, played nine seasons in Cincinnati. His dedication to the team along with Ochocinco created a big-play offense that kept defenses on edge. It’s tough to say, but Johnson and Houshmandzadeh and may’ve been the best one-two receiving punch Cincinnati ever had. The duo each racked up 1,100+ yards in 2007 and combined for over nine 1,000-yard seasons.The year after Johnson’s departure and two years after Houshmanzadeh’s exodus, A.J. Green was drafted with the franchise’s fourth top-five pick in the previous 11 years at the time. Leaving after his junior year at Georgia, Green’s seen the best of times and the worst of times throughout his stay in Cincinnati, which has included five-straight losses in the Wild Card Round followed up by three-straight losing seasons. It hasn’t been until recently that he’s found his own Housh and has had the help he’s desired and needed since both Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu both left town: Tyler Boyd. Alongside Green, Boyd broke out in 2018, securing his first 1,000-yard season last year. Better as the No. 2 option in the passing game, the combination of these two should thrive under the Zac Taylor-led offense. Last season, under Marvin Lewis, Dalton, Green and Boyd all played the majority of snaps in the first eight games. Dalton, in the first eight Color Rush Rodney Anderson Jersey , averaged 263 yards and over two touchdowns per game. For the red rifle, the 263 would’ve been the second-highest average of his career. The Bengals were 5-3 prior to Green going down and eventually Dalton joining him. They were a scoring machine while healthy, and it was due to the lethal combination of Boyd and Green absolutely tormenting cornerbacks.That said, don’t expect this to be the only season that we see these two on the field together. Although they’re both free agents, like Chad and T.J., loyalty runs deep in their veins. They’ve both said on multiple occasions that they want to return next season. Boyd’s gone over how he’s at OTAs and working each and every snap to get the chance to sign a high-value extension. For Green, he recently talked about how Cincinnati is his home and how he wants to stay here a few more seasons. This is what fans want. However, what fans want hasn’t always been what the front office does. Overall, Green and Boyd should create such a force offensively that along with their desire to stay in Cincinnati, Mike Brown and company will have no choice but to pay them. They could go elsewhere; make no mistake of that. These two would be highly valuable on the open market. At the same time, they’re loyal. They know these fans, they love these fans, and they’re ready to bring something special to this city.Instead of bickering about Green’s durability concerns or Boyd’s weaknesses without Green on the field, let’s take them as the gifts they’ve been. Finally healthy, the duo may lead Cincinnati to the promise land. Going in-depth and breaking down the Cincinnati Bengalslinebacking corps.The Cincinnati Bengals have seen big-time production from linebackers over their string of playoff berths to start this decade (prior to 2016, of course). However, the play of the unit was inconsistent a year ago. Thus, the team made moves to try and improve in that regard.Stuck in the quagmire of the NFL offseason, it’s the perfect moment to look at the roster and assess what’s at each position, how the unit came about and where they could go from here. We’ve gone through quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive linemen and defensive linemen already.Article continues below ...We continue on the defensive side of the ball with the linebackers.Linebackers*Vontaze Burfict(101 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 2 INTs, 8 passes defensed)*Vincent Rey (86 tackles, 1 fumble recovery Cheap Rodney Anderson Jersey , 1INT, 7passes defensed)*Kevin Minter(81 tackles,3.5 sacks, 2passes defensed)Nick Vigil(21 tackles, 1 pass defensed)Marquis Flowers(7 tackles)Hardy Nickerson(N/A)Paul Dawson(N/A)Bryson Albright(N/A)Jordan Evans(N/A)Brandon Bell(N/A)* = expected starter | 2016 statistics in parenthesisIn my eyes, there is no position group better on the Bengals roster this year than the linebacking corps. High praise to be sure, especially with the moves made to fix the wide receiver and defensive line groups. But while those groups could soon become better this area sets itself apart with thealready-proven abilities of its top players.Start with the leader of the pack.For all the character troubles a player like Burfict brings into the fold, his on-field accomplishments are inscrutable. Since being picked up as an undrafted free agent (almost exclusively because of those aforementioned character concerns) by these Bengals in 2012, he’s consistently been one of the league’s best linebackers.More from NFL Spin ZoneBuffalo Bills: Who will back up LeSean McCoy in 2017?17m agoDallas Cowboys: 5 Most important offensive players for 201713h agoKansas City Chiefs: Stat prediction for defensive stars16h agoPittsburgh Steelers: Keion Adams hopes to find a place on defense17h agoNew York Giants: Davis Webb will be backup before the end of 201718h agoThree of his five seasons have seen him rack up 100+ tackles, including leading the NFL in that measure in 2013. Across 58 regular season games, he’s garnered eight-or-more tackles in37 of them. In 22 of them, he reached double digits. He’s broken up at least five passes three different times, and been directly responsible for recovering 10 turnovers (five fumble recoveries, five interceptions) in that time. This is someone offenses must plan around busting up their plays.Rey hasn’t been on Burfict’s level, but he’s had some good seasons with the team. His play in 2013 gave them reason enough to keep him around long-term, and 2016 made it clear to them he could manage fairly well in a bigrole. Per Pro Football Focus’ grading metrics, his coverage grade last year was the best not only among Cincinnati’s linebackers but on their entire roster. In fact, when considering all defensive players with 500+ snaps in the league, hewas in the top 30 for coverage grade last season.Minter is the one to watch most, however. He is what gives this group hope for taking things to another level. While Burfict and Rey are the established players at the position, what they had been getting from their other starter in the past was abysmal.Rey Maualuga was an entrenched starter here since this decade began, but his performances didn’t exactly make him a good choice for the job. While some of his seasons were on the high end of average, many were deep in the depths of terrible. Four times he rated under 50 in PFF’s overall grading (twice he was below 40). His 2012 was one of the worst graded for any player at any position ever in their database (28.4), and 2016 was nearly as bad for him (38.2). He was a spotlighted weakness every single snap, and held onto a spot with the team for far too long.Minter doesn’t have a long track record of success himself (2016 was his first positively-graded yearin fourtotal seasons), but part of that comes from lack of opportunity. The Cardinals defense he left was stacked during his career there, so there often wasn’t much of a role for him.2015 was his first time with significant action, and though he struggled that year the experience gained in the starting lineup clearly helped last year. After PFF graded his 2015 season with a 40.5, he rose all the way up to an 81.0 in about the same number of snaps.Assuming that was the beginning of a trend for him Rodney Anderson Jersey Womens , the Burfict/Rey/Minter combination looks to be as good as any starting linebacker group the NFL has to offer.This isn’t a perfect position group by any means, however.Jan 9, 2016; Cincinnati, OH, USA; Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict (55) reacts after sacking Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) during the third quarter in the AFC Wild Card playoff football game at Paul Brown Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsA big reason why is their best player. Burfict’scharacter problems that concerned so many have shown up way too often unfortunately, keeping him from being as highly regarded as his play itself should allow.He’s lost significant money and games to fines and suspensions for ugly, unnecessary plays in every year outside his rookie season. Just look at this list:2013: spears the Jet’s Stephen Hill; $21,000fine2014: caught twisting the ankles of both Cam Newton and Greg Olsen versus the Carolina Panthers; $25,000 fine2015: multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a regular season game against Pittsburgh; $69,454 fine2016: defenseless receiver helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown in the 2015 playoffs; three-game suspension to start 2016 ($502,941 in lost salary)2016: Purposefully steps on New England’s LeGarrette Blount; $75,000 fine2016: Flips off the Buffalo crowd; $12,154 fineThat’s three games and $693,395 lost due to his infractions. One or maybe two of the lesser penalties over a four-year stretch would be one thing, but this is a clear pattern of terrible decision-making (and often downright dirty play) over his entire career. Spearing a guy in a split-second decision is one thing. Stepping on guys, twisting ankles, and picking up numerous unsportsmanlike penalties in a single game take an actual concerted amount of thought and time — and he’s done all of that and more.He’s more than earned the dirty label that’s stuck on him, and it hurts not only his wallet and personal reputation, but his team too. Multiple times there’s beenfree yardage given away in games because of his actions, and at the least it has costhis team a playoff win in that time. That hit on Brown made me question if I can even keep watching this sport, and I know I wasn’t alone in that sentiment.More from NFL Spin Zone5/31 – Buffalo Bills: Who will back up LeSean McCoy in 2017?5/30 – Dallas Cowboys: 5 Most important offensive players for 20175/30 – Kansas City Chiefs: Stat prediction for defensive stars5/30 – Pittsburgh Steelers: Keion Adams hopes to find a place on defense5/30 – New York Giants: Davis Webb will be backup before the end of 2017Unless he cleans up his act (which, based on picking up $87,154 in fines last year, doesn’t seem likely), these antics will eventually push the team too far and be subsequently removed.For different reasons, the long-term isn’t set for either of the other projected starters.Though they are coming off strong 2016 performances, neitherRey norMinter have a long history of good play. Per PFF, Rey has only graded out well twice in six years; Minter just one in four.Looking at just years with a larger sample size doesn’t help either much at all. In three years with at least half the team’s defensive snaps, Rey has only one positively graded outcome. In two years for Minter Rodney Anderson Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , he’s got just one.That’s risky on its own, butthen you look at the contract situations. Neither is onerous this season (Rey: $3.25 million; Minter: $4.25 million), but that will immediately begin to change after this year. Minter is on a one-year deal, and a good year will push the currently26-year old’s contract into a higher bracket as he enters his prime. Meanwhile, Rey is under contract for next year as of now, but it has a potential out.Though that may sound promising, there are multiple bad paths for this to follow. If he does poorly in 2017, the team can move on from him seamlessly, but that leaves a starter spot vacated. If he does well, he’s just a season away from definitely hitting free agency. That leaves the Bengals needing to eitherletting him go with possibly no replacement anyway, or having to pony up a sizablechunk of money for the31-year old. To this point, Rey has shown to be inconsistent from season to season, so the prospect of committing significant cash on him doesn’t sound appealing even before you account for his advancing age.On a positive note, moves made already could help dash those worries as the team moves forward.Vigil didn’t produce well in limited 2016 snaps, but his NFL.com draft profile showed a player who piled up production (267 total tackles, including 30 tackles for loss) and was quality in coverage. As he continues to add weight and power to his body, he could prove himself worth a bigger role.Flowers was formerly a safety in college, and his speed and movement in space make for another capable coverage guy if things work in his favor. He’s another guy who projected as needing additional bulkcoming in and offered little outside his abilities in space, but if his weaknesses were deemed to hefty to overcome the team likely would’ve moved on from him by now.Dawson’s character concerns from college seem to have followed him into the league, and have already gotten him cut from the roster once. Still, that high-end production he showed is hard to turn away from (hence why he eventually was brought back). As with the others, coverage ability is a strength, and purely based on skill-set he may be the best of these current backups. If he ever gets his head on straight, he could easily snare a starting role — and deservedly so.Should none of these previous guys pan out, this year’s draft pick Evans profiles much the same athletically and skill-set wise. His play speed and coverage chops should keep him around while he works on fixing his issues (namely: play strength and consistency as a tackler).Next: Cincinnati Bengals: Why they aren’t an elite franchiseThere may not be many concrete answers beyond this season for the Bengals linebacking corps, but the now is set up for success while future is rife with numerous intriguing possibilities.Realistically, you can’t ask for much more.This article originally appeared on
