Saints quarterback Drew Brees returned to New Orleans in time to take part in the final two days of the team’s minicamp Marcus Davenport Jersey , but he missed all of last week and the start of this one while testifying in a California courtroom.Brees is suing a jeweler he claims defrauded him out of millions of dollars by lying about the value of jewelry he sold to Brees. The jeweler has denied the charges and the case has continued to play out without Brees over the last couple of days.Brees said on Thursday that it has been “very stressful” to deal with the lawsuit at the same time that the team was going through the offseason program.“Very tough,” Brees said Alvin Kamara Jersey , via the . “Obviously I’m the quarterback of this football team and I want to be with this team.

That leaves less cap space available for other players.Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that there may not be enough left over to pay everyone — obviously referring to running back Ezekiel Elliott, quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper — to get what he wants.“There’s no question the pie is getting smaller. To the extent we look at how much we allocate to each and every player, each and every position, that creates boundaries,” Jones said, via Michael Gehlken of the .Jones is right: With a salary cap, every dollar spent on one player is a dollar that can’t be spent on another player. The question is whether the Cowboys are willing to prioritize the three players who would seem to be up next Michael Gallup Jersey , or whether they’re going to let at least one of them walk on the theory that they can’t pay everyone. It’s Monday following a Cowboys win, and an Eagles loss, that means head coach Jason Garrett addressed the media. Here’s what he had to say. (All Garrett answers are paraphrases of what he said and not direct quotes).Jason Garrett was impressed by the fourth quarterJason Garrett was quick to note that the fourth quarter the Cowboys played in Philadelphia was symbolic of the whole game. He talked about maintaining focus and execution noting that it takes 60 minutes to win a game. Obviously Dallas jumped out to a lead against the Eagles and they bounced back, but Garrett was proud of how his team responded.There was a Jason Garrett speech on Saturday nightIt was reported that Jason Garrett gave a speech to the Cowboys on Saturday night where he described what the Philadelphia environment was going to be like. He declined to get into the details of it all simply noting that he wanted to prepare the team for another win that they had to try and get.Cowboys are focused on themselvesJason Garrett isn’t getting into hypotheticals about what’s going on with anything beyond what he can control. He kept true to who he’s always been as he discussed focusing on where they can devote their own attention and focus.Maybe the Cowboys were more chippy than normal Playing with an edge is something that the Cowboys want their players to do, and Sunday in Philadelphia they definitely had one. The Cowboys and Eagles got into a bit of a scuffle early on and it seems like Dallas liked that. See.Amari Cooper has done a nice jobWhat Amari Cooper has done in two games with the Cowboys has definitely been impressive. Jason Garrett gave credit to both Sanjay Lal and Scott Linehan (whom he was quite complimentary of throughout) for how everything has gone to this point, noting Cooper has played a lot of football in a short period of time. He kept firm in that their biggest challenge is making sure that he’s ready to go.Amari Cooper may or may not be helping third-down conversionsJason Garrett wouldn’t give Amari Cooper any specific credit when it came to what the Cowboys are doing on third down, but he did talk about how converting has a lot to do with “being able to attack defenses different ways.” Obviously Cooper gives the Cowboys a different sort of threat in the passing game which is part of why they’ve had more success on third downs as of late.Amari is also a great route runnerJason Garrett was asked for specifics when he said Amari Cooper was a great route runner. He talked about his release Womens Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , quickness, body control, and overall understanding of the job that he had to do. If you ask Garrett football-related questions he generally goes on for a while and this was definitely one of those times.Xavier Su’a-Filo did a great jobThe Cowboys were down their starting left guard in Connor Williams and had to face Fletcher Cox and Co. with Xavier Su’a-Filo at the position. Jason Garrett noted that Xavier battled hard and did everything he could to get up to speed. Zeke had a great game“Zeke’s a really good football player.”The Cowboys utilized their star running back in a multitude of ways against the Eagles and what he did was huge for the cause to get the Cowboys their win. Jason Garrett spoke to how great Zeke is and how on display it was in Philadelphia.Leighton Vander Esch has very good instinctsJason Garrett gave credit to Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, and Ben Bloom for what Leighton Vander Esch has been able to do, but he certainly gave a fair share to the first-round rookie himself. While he did note that it wasn’t a perfect game for LVE he did applaud him for making a lot of significant plays in the game.Dak did a really good jobJason Garrett also noted that Dak Prescott wasn’t perfect in Philadelphia, but he got particularly passionate when mentioning the “spirit” that the quarterback plays with. He talked about various circumstances that Dak managed to fight his way through Michael Gallup Jersey White , especially the sneak that resulted in a touchdown, noting that Dak is capable of fighting back like that. He specifically said “at no time did he ever blink” so it’s clear that he was impressed.The Cowboys felt good about the fourth down attempt that didn’t work outDallas was going to go for it on fourth down early in the game before they had a penalty that made that all the more difficult. Jason Garrett said that sometimes it makes sense to do that, other times it doesn’t, and that it depends on the circumstances. He did say that the Cowboys “always want to be aggressive,” but that that doesn’t mean you’re going to go for every fourth down. He noted that there are a lot of things that go into decisions like this, but that they’re always trying to do the things that help your team win.Randy Gregory and Tyron Smith played wellJason Garrett was quite complimentary of Randy Gregory who happened to have himself a nice game against the Eagles. He said Gregory played well in the run in addition to the pass. He also gave credit to Tyron Smith for having himself a nice game.Xavier Woods and Chidobe Awuzie had nice games tooBoth Woods and Awuzie showed up to large degrees in Philadelphia, but Jason Garrett wasn’t at all going to get into discussions about whether or not they were the best games we’ve seen from them. He said they all played well and wanted to leave it at that.Cowboys need to learn from this gameDallas is moving on to the Atlanta Falcons and Jason Garrett wants one message to be taken from the Eagles win. It’s his desire that the Cowboys learn from the mistakes that they made in Philadelphia as they ready for a trip to Atlanta this Sunday.Daniel Ross’ injury happened on the sidelinesSigh.Zack Martin’s situation is something that will go “day by day” Dak Prescott Jersey , no decisions at left guard for nowJason Garrett did say that the Cowboys got some favorable reports, though. He also noted that they haven’t made any decisions as to who is going to play at left guard again if Connor Williams can’t go. There’s no worry about Brett MaherThe Cowobys have seen their kicker miss an attempt in three straight games, but Jason Garrett isn’t worried. Let’s hope he has no reason to be.]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/110197/he-had-a-lot-of-energy-passion Tue, 14 Jan 2020 06:15:12 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/110197/he-had-a-lot-of-energy-passion The Chiefs might have finally lost one guy too many.And the one who finished the game but isn’t 100 percent is the bigger issue.With quarterback Patrick Mahomes limping on a bad left ankle Malik Hooker Jersey , the Chiefs lost for the first time this season, with the Colts stealing a 19-13 win on the road.After getting rolled up on by a teammate, Mahomes was no longer the same, unable to make plays on the move the way he did early in the night.Without that element, and without injured wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins and seemingly half the defense, the Chiefs weren’t able to play the kind of dynamic football we’re used to seeing.With time and a chance to heal, it’s possible they’ll get back to themselves. But if Mahomes is ailing, it will be so much harder for them to continue to outscore opponents — particularly good ones.Here are five more things we learned during 1. Frank Reich is not a good coach. Frank Reich is a great coach.He helped the Colts from a 1-5 start to the playoffs last year, has endured the surprise retirement of his franchise quarterback, and walked into Kansas City without his best defensive player (Darius Leonard) and both starting safeties.While his football acumen shows his background with Chiefs coach Andy Reid (also a great coach), his ability to manage people in difficult circumstances is the biggest indicator of his skill.Plenty of coaches with better circumstances win less often, and Reich’s ability to keep the Colts competitive (and then some) is impressive.Sunday Darius Leonard Jersey White , he made the simple decision to go death-by-a-thousand-cuts against an injury-depleted Chiefs defense.It worked well, with a fourth-quarter field goal drive the best example. The Colts (3-2) ran on 12 of the 14 plays on that one, chewing up more than eight minutes of clock. Settling for three points was a letdown, except it had a bigger impact than the score could measure.2. If the Chiefs have a weakness, it’s an offensive line that’s ordinary at best.With all their skill position talent, it’s easier to hide, but missing left tackle Eric Fisher (out following core muscle surgery) makes a difference.Pinning it all on replacement Cameron Erving‘s not fair, but the group is thin overall and not great on the left side, and it got worse when left guard Andrew Wylie was injured.They allowed too much pressure to a Colts defense that’s undermanned as well, and failed in the ultimate job of any line — keeping the flies off their quarterback.3. On the other hand, the Colts were able to exert themselves, thanks to a line that made the quick transition last year from one of the worst to one of the best.Since they don’t get recognized often enough Peyton Manning Jersey , it’s worth it to say their names whenever you get a chance. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo, left guard Quenton Nelson, center Ryan Kelly, right guard Mark Glowinski, and right tackle Braden Smith have combined to become a group that creates the personality of a team.It’s far from glamorous, but neither are the Colts. Which makes the whole thing work.4. When kicker Adam Vinatieri was struggling, there was speculation he might retire, or the Colts might make that decision for him.Sunday, he did his job, hitting three short field goals (32, 32, and 29) when points were scarce.Trusting the league’s all-time leading scorer is easy in theory Darius Leonard Jersey , but after he missed five kicks in the first two weeks, it would be understandable to worry.But like so many things about his team, he seems to fit what the personality Reich’s trying to establish.5. The Chiefs have some obvious firepower, but a bit of fire as well.NBC’s cameras caught tight end Travis Kelce and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy having a rather animated conversation on the sidelines. At the end of the exchange, Kelce gave Bieniemy a shove, and it didn’t appear playful.The two later hugged it out, but sometimes a collection of high achievers with big personalities will create some friction. The difference with the Chiefs (at least in the global sense) appears to be their ability to handle it. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Longtime assistant coach Howard Mudd has decided to walk away from football just two days before the Indianapolis Colts open the season at the Los Angeles Chargers.Coach Frank Reich made the announcement Friday.The 77-year-old Mudd came out of retirement six months ago and accepted the title of senior offensive assistant, working primarily with new offensive line coach Chris Strausser. Mudd worked for seven NFL franchises from 1974 through 2012 before retiring.But Reich said over the past week, Mudd started indicating he might be ready to leave the game again. He previously worked for the Colts from 1998 through 2009 where he helped teach Reich the nuances of run blocking and pass protection.“He was all in, it was tremendous in every way,” Reich said. “He had a lot of energy, passion Malik Hooker Jersey White , a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience in those meetings. It was a lot of fun for our guys, especially our younger guys to get a chance to rub shoulders with Howard.”Mudd wasn’t just a successful coach.He spent seven years in the NFL as a player with the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears. He was selected to three Pro Bowls, twice to the All-Pro team and won one Super Bowl ring — with Indy following the 2006 season. Mudd also was a member of the NFL’s 1960s all-decade team.But those played for the motorcycle enthusiast him and watched him drive around the field in faster than normal golf carts enjoyed learning from him.“They really harp on the fundamentals and do a great job teaching,” All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson said in May when asked about the two new line coaches. “They are very detail oriented and what they’re teaching — I feel like I have already seen results in myself and my teammates too. So it has been awesome being coached by them and they’re doing a great job.”Mudd’s departure is the second surprise move in less than two weeks. Andrew Luck retired abruptly Aug. 24 following a preseason loss to the Bears.“He was really physically, I thought in great shape and his mind is still as sharp as ever. Man, that guy’s mind is unbelievable,” Reich said. “I was able to kind of talk him out of retirement to come and help us make a transition. His contribution over the last six months has been tremendous.”NOTES: Reich also said defensive end Jabaal Sheard (knee) and backup running back Jonathan Williams (ribs) would not play Sunday. … Backup defensive end Kemoko Turay is listed as questionable with a neck injury. … The Colts reached injury settlements with receiver Penny Hart and cornerback Shakial Taylor. The move allows them to sign with other teams.]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/110196/there-will-be-individual-posts-about-each-draft-pick Tue, 14 Jan 2020 06:04:52 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/110196/there-will-be-individual-posts-about-each-draft-pick Rounds 4-7 of NFL Draft rumors and picks for the Cleveland Browns."It is Saturday Womens David Njoku Jersey , and that means rounds 4-7 of the 2019 NFL Draft will take place for the Cleveland Browns and the rest of the teams in the NFL.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)Based on Jimmy Garoppolo’s first two starts, it appears the 49ers might have their next franchise quarterback. But a new contract for the pending free agent is still at least three weeks away from being discussed, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Shanahan said he doesn’t anticipate the team discussing a long-term agreement with Garoppolo until after the season. For now, the franchise tag remains a possibility to keep the promising QB off the open market in the spring. ”Obviously, we’re very encouraged with how these two games have been Mike McGlinchey Jersey White ,” Shanahan said. ”We’ll see what happens here in the offseason when we get together and can assess everything. But I definitely don’t think that’s something he’s thinking about at this point and it’s definitely not something that I’m thinking about either.” San Francisco improved to 2-0 in Garoppolo’s starts since taking over for rookie C.J. Beathard, winning consecutive games for the first time since November 2014. His 627 yards passing in his first two starts are the most by a 49ers quarterback since the merger in 1970. On Sunday in Houston, Garoppolo completed 20 of 33 for 334 yards with a touchdown and interception in the 49ers’ 26-16 victory. He joined Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and Trevor Siemian as the only active quarterbacks to win their first four starts after going 2-0 last season while filling in for Tom Brady during his suspension. Shanahan said he was impressed by the way Garoppolo adjusted to Houston’s defense that had a noticeably different approach than the Bears in his first outing. The Texans used more blitzes to stress San Francisco’s offensive line that was missing right tackle Trent Brown, who sat with a shoulder injury. Garoppolo was sacked twice and hit nine times in the game. He delivered passes on target throughout the game even with defenders in his face. Dealing with pressure in a game setting is something Shanahan hasn’t been able to simulate on the practice field during his brief time with the team. Garoppolo was acquired via trade in late October. ”We learn something every time we play with him. It’s nice to have film, two games to go off of. It will be nice to have more. But we’re still learning him, we’ll continue to learn him throughout the year Dwight Clark Jersey White ,” Shanahan said. Shanahan said Brown, who missed two of the past three games with a shoulder injury, may not play Sunday against Tennessee. It was decided over the weekend that he would sit against Houston after the injury worsened since he played the previous week in Chicago. ”I have no expectations with it. Hopefully I’ll get more information here in the next couple of days,” Shanahan said. Rookie cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury, had an MRI on Monday that showed no structural damage, which was better news than Shanahan was expecting. ”He’ll be day to day. We’ll see him when he comes in Wednesday to have an idea if he can practice http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-adrian-colbert-jersey , be limited or what his status will be,” Shanahan said. —]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107744/rookie-fourth-round-pick-avonte-maddox-will-throw Wed, 08 Jan 2020 06:00:57 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107744/rookie-fourth-round-pick-avonte-maddox-will-throw Saints Hoping to Knock Down the Defending Champion Eagles in Week 11 We’ll continue a series of opponent preview posts for the New Orleans Saints opponents in 2018. Next Marcus Davenport Jersey , we’ll finish that that “bunch of frauds” (s/o to our old pal John Sigler), the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. Our friends over at Bleeding Great Nation took some time to give us Saints fans the scoop a the reigning Super Bowl champs.Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty ImagesWeek 11: vs the Philadelphia EaglesNotable free agent additions:WR Mike Wallace, DT Haloti Ngata, LB Corey Nelson, (DE Michael Bennett - acquired through trade)Over/Under:10.5 wins -- Over. The reigning Super Bowl champions won 13 regular season games last year. They did this despite not having Carson Wentz, Jason Peters, Darren Sproles, Jordan Hicks Alvin Kamara Jersey , and Chris Maragos for all 16 games. The Eagles were able to overcome theses losses due to a combination of elite coaching by Doug Pederson, fantastic play in the trenches, and strong roster depth. The Eagles project to have these same strengths in 2018 so I wouldn’t bet against them.Most exciting rookie:I’m most excited about: TE Dallas Goedert (AKA Philly Goedert). Goedert measures in at 6-4, 260 pounds and boasts plus athleticism. He looked virtually unguardable in the red zone during spring practices this year. The Eagles already have one great tight end in Zach Ertz. The presence of Goedert could give Philly a new dynamic duo for Pederson to unleash on the league.Position battle to keep an eye on:The Eagles need to figure out what to do at nickel cornerback with Patrick Robinson leaving in free agency. It’s possible 2017 second-round pick Sidney Jones steps up in that role. He got the first look during OTAs. De’Vante Bausby, who spent last season on Philadelphia’s practice squad last year, also flashed during spring drills and might be the front-runner right now. Rookie fourth-round pick Avonte Maddox will throw his hat into the ring as well. It’s possible the Eagles could employ a rotation in the slot so there might not even be one true winner from this battle.Biggest storyline heading into training camp:Carson Wentz’s health status is the obvious answer here. The 25-year-old signal caller was having an MVP-caliber season before suffering an ACL tear in early December. From that moment, it was unclear if he’d be ready to start the beginning of the 2018 season. The good news is that Wentz’s recovery progress has been very encouraging. Some in the Eagles organization have described him as “shockingly ahead of schedule.” Wentz was a lot more involved in OTAs and minicamp than most expected him to be. He wasn’t participating in full team 11-on-11 drills, though Marshon Lattimore Jersey White , so that’s the next hurdle for him to clear. We’ll see how that goes in training camp. There’s definitely optimism that he’ll be ready to start in the NFL kickoff game on September 6.Under-the-radar storyline heading into training camp:Two of the Eagles’ biggest offseason departures took place in the coaching department. Former offensive coordinator Frank Reich is now the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts and former quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo is now the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive coordinator. It’ll be hard to gauge the impact of losing them until the season starts but this is certainly something to keep an eye on. Notable injuries heading into training camp:The list is so long that it’s easy to forget someone. Wentz is coming off the ACL. Alshon Jeffery isn’t expected to be ready until around Week 1 as he recovers from a torn rotator cuff. Timmy Jernigan had offseason surgery on a herniated disc in his back and will likely end up on the NFI/PUP list. Haloti Ngata missed all of spring practices as he recovers from torn biceps. Super Bowl hero Brandon Graham had offseason surgery on his ankle. Jordan Hicks wasn’t able to fully participate in spring practices. Chris Maragos didn’t practice at all as he recovers from a PCL injury. Besides Jernigan, there’s hope most of these players will be ready by Week 1. But we’ll have to see how they progress during the summer. ***The Saints have a tough stretch with the Falcons, Eagles, Rams, and Vikings within a 5-week period. The Eagles will likely be one of the toughest match-ups all season.So what says you, you unbiased Saints fans? Can the Saints knock down the defending Champs, or will they get humbled in the Dome?

Devon Cajuste's crystals couldn't ward off being cut.The long-haired tight end https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-drew-brees-jersey , who became an overnight favorite with Browns fans after appearing on HBO's "Hard Knocks," was one of 19 players released by the team Saturday.Cajuste's easygoing nature, fondness for hand-picked crystals and close bond with his father, earned him a devoted following but that didn't help him secure a spot on the 53-man roster.Other notable cuts for Cleveland included: defensive end Nate Orchard, fullback Danny Vitale, offensive lineman Spencer Drango, running back Matthew Dayes and cornerback Mike Jordan — all of whom either started or played significant roles over the past few seasons.Browns general manager John Dorsey has been aggressive in upgrading Cleveland's talent since he was hired in December. He's made numerous trades, and pulled off another one Saturday by acquiring defensive lineman Devaroe Lawrence from New Orleans for a seventh-round draft pick in 2019.Dorsey also released rookie cornerback Simeon Thomas Womens Marshon Lattimore Jersey , a sixth-round pick. The Browns are intrigued with Thomas and could add him to the practice squad if he isn't claimed.The Browns were also interested in star defensive end Khalil Mack, but Dorsey may have been scared off by Oakland's asking price and the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year was dealt to the Chicago Bears. While they didn't get Mack, the Browns now won't have to face him when they visit the Raiders on Sept. 30.Orchard's release was somewhat surprising since he picked off a pass and returned the interception 64 yards for a touchdown in Thursday night's win over Detroit. The play earned him praise from coach Hue Jackson, but Orchard wasn't beaten out for a role in the defensive line rotation by Carl Nassib, another of this season's "'Hard Knocks" stars.Dorsey and his personnel staff figure to continue to tweak the bottom of Cleveland's roster in coming days. Because the Browns had the league's worst record — 0-16 — last season, the team has first priority of the waiver wire.Tight end Seth DeValve has a roster spot — for now — despite missing training camp and the exhibition season with a thigh injury. DeValve was the team's second-leading receiver last season with 33 catches for 395 yards.]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107743/someone-with-that-kind-of-resume-has-seen Wed, 08 Jan 2020 05:53:30 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107743/someone-with-that-kind-of-resume-has-seen Bilal Powell might have played the last snap of his football career.The New York Jets running back needs surgery to repair a bulging disk in his neck Taco Charlton Jersey , and coach Todd Bowles says it's potentially a career-ending injury."It's possible," Bowles said Wednesday. "We'll see how the surgery goes."Powell was placed on injured reserve after hurting his neck during a 2-yard run late in the second quarter of New York's 37-17 loss to Minnesota. He remained down for a few moments as trainers checked on him before getting up and walking to the sideline and then to the locker room.Bowles says the injury is similar to the one that sidelined wide receiver Quincy Enunwa for all of last season, but adds that "this may be worse."The playing future for Powell, the franchise's 10th-leading rusher, was already uncertain before the grim news. He turns 30 on Saturday and is scheduled to be a free agent after this season."Bilal's one of the hardest workers on this team," Bowles said. "It's a big blow from that standpoint, but you worry more about the person and healing more than you do the football player. So, that's where we're at."Powell has 3,446 yards rushing in eight seasons with the Jets Womens Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , just 1 yard behind Adrian Murrell (3,447, 1993-97) for ninth on the team's career list.Powell is the team's longest-tenured player after being drafted in the fourth round out of Louisville in 2011. He has provided the Jets with a dual-threat presence out of the backfield, catching 204 passes for 1,567 yards and five touchdowns. Powell had 11 receptions for 110 yards and a TD this season."Yeah, man, it's a sad thing to see that just because B.P. is so respected in this locker room," quarterback Sam Darnold said. "He's just such a great guy to have on the team. That's first and foremost, but him as a player Leighton Vander Esch Jersey White , he's amazing as well. It sucks in general to see that happen to anyone, but especially B.P., it hurts a little bit."The Jets could add another running back before their game Sunday at Chicago. Isaiah Crowell and rookie Trenton Cannon are the only players at the position, with De'Angelo Henderson on the practice squad. Elijah McGuire is still on injured reserve, working his way back from a foot injury suffered early in training camp.The team also has announced it signed safety Ibraheim Campbell, filling a need at another of the Jets' injury-plagued positions.Campbell played in four games with Dallas this season after being claimed off waivers from Houston. The Cowboys waived him on Oct. 9.The Jets had only Jamal Adams and Terrence Brooks as healthy players at the safety position on the active roster. Starter Marcus Maye is sidelined with a broken right thumb and could miss a few more weeks, but was a limited participant at practice Wednesday — a sign of improvement. Doug Middleton, Maye's replacement, tore a pectoral muscle against the Vikings and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.Rontez Miles remains on the physically unable to perform list since tearing the meniscus in one of his knees during the offseason. He was on the field during practice Dak Prescott Jersey White , but Bowles said Miles won't be activated this week.Campbell was a fourth-round pick of Cleveland in 2015 out of Northwestern and played in 37 games, including 11 starts for the Browns. He was released with an injury settlement in 2017 and signed with Houston.The 26-year-old Campbell has 82 total tackles and one pass defensed in his NFL career.NOTES: Enunwa (sprained ankle), CB Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps), LB Darron Lee (illness), CB Morris Claiborne (shoulder/foot), C Spencer Long (knee/finger), WR Robby Anderson (ankle) and LT Kelvin Beachum (back) all did not practice. Johnson has missed the past three games, but says "I'll be out there soon." ... CB Buster Skrine remains in concussion protocol, but practiced on a limited basis. ... LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (foot) was also limited. One of the Cowboys all-time best wants to lend a helping hand."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys GeneralDeMarcus Ware wants to help the Cowboys as a consultantNew Womens Emmitt Smith Jersey ,51commentsOne of the Cowboys all-time best wants to lend a helping hand.CDTShareTweetShareShareDeMarcus Ware wants to help the Cowboys as a consultantFor the last few years now people have toyed around with the idea of various Dallas Cowboys legends returning to the franchise they once called home.It seems like those talks will never end when it comes to Tony Romo, they actually did come to fruition with Jason Witten, and they’ve also been thrown out when it comes to their old pal DeMarcus Ware.Ware is one of the most-decorated players in Dallas Cowboys history. He’s the franchise’s all-time sack leader and his name will one day hang in the Ring of Honor in addition to his bronze bust in Canton. Someone with that kind of résumé has seen a lot, there’s no question that there is a wealth of experience resting underneath that number 94 jersey.D-Ware wants to help the CowboysWare has tried to champion those efforts into teaching moments for the current day Cowboys before, he’s been vocal about wanting a role with the team in recent history. Those conversations either didn’t work out or fell on deaf ears because last season Ware found a gig with his other team, the Denver Broncos. He served as a consultant for them.Ware is back at it and not being shy either. He wants to help football players, and he really wants to help the Dallas Cowboys. It’s nice to see how insistent he is on a role with the place he became the legend people will remember forever. From the mothership:D-Ware isn’t shy about showing the world that he’s still very much in shape, he’s all over various social media platforms when it comes to videos of him staying shredded. If that sort of disposition could translate to the 2019 version of the squad, there are certainly worse things that can happen.For what it’s worth Emmitt Smith Jersey , it doesn’t seem like Jason Garrett is averse to Ware joining his coaching staff. He appears open to the possibility of it.Whether or not the Cowboys and DeMarcus Ware are able to work together in the future remains to be seen. They already have one DeMarcus, another can’t hurt, right?]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107742/colts-know-that-finding-pass-rush-help Wed, 08 Jan 2020 05:47:42 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107742/colts-know-that-finding-pass-rush-help Quenton Nelson Recaps Colts Rookie Season In Candid Interview | 1070 the FanOn Wednesday Malik Hooker Jersey , the typically quiet and reserved Quenton Nelson joined Adam Lefkoe and Chris Simms on a Bleacher Report..."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Colts StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Colts NewsYahoo Colts Team PageYahoo Colts ReportYahoo Colts Depth ChartYahoo Colts TransactionsYahoo Colts PhotosShop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Stampede Blue Colts LinksColts News: Quenton Nelson recaps rookie season in candid interviewNew,10commentsESTShareTweetShareShareColts News: Quenton Nelson recaps rookie season in candid interviewMark J.

But that may not stop Murray from becoming the NFL’s next big thing. Whether he does lands at storyline No. 15 as the 2019 season appraoches.From the moment he chose football over baseball, Murray captured the imagination of scouts, coaches, players, and fans. In this golden age of quarterbacking, Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield became the darlings of the league in 2018, a year after Deshaun Watson was all the rage, until he suffered a torn ACL.Despite his (lack of) size, Murray brings an explosiveness that the league hasn’t seen since Mike Vick, but possibly with a better set of passing skills. While Murray may not be the next Mahomes, Murray doesn’t need to be a 50-touchdown MVP to justify Arizona’s faith in him.Ulimately Denzel Ward Jersey , it was an easy analysis. The Cardinals have struggled with young quarterbacks in recent years (decades), getting their best performances from veterans like Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer. Murray could be their first born-and-raised franchise quarterback since moving to the desert 31 years ago.Sure, there’s a chance he’ll be a bust. That he won’t be able to stay healthy once he’s hit hard by NFL-caliber defensive players. That his speed and other skills won’t translate to the pro game.The risk is worth it. And it’s far better to roll the dice on Murray and get it wrong than to pass on him and have him become a star player for someone else.If he becomes a star for the Cardinals, the NFC West becomes very interesting, perhaps before long the best division in the league. Baker Mayfield ranks 31st in passer rating with a 67.8, behind even the likes of Mitchell Trubisky, Andy Dalton, Joe Flacco and Jameis Winston. His 12 interceptions are tied with Winston for the league lead.The Browns, who entered with Super Bowl aspirations, are only 2-5 and three games behind the Ravens in the AFC North.Nothing has gone to plan, which makes it hard to defend Mayfield.But Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. did a good job of that Thursday Jarvis Landry Jersey , saying he’s “ready to jump in the fire with him.” “I’m going to be the first one here to defend him every single time. I’ve always got his back,” Beckham said, via Jake Trotter of ESPN.Mayfield’s frustrations boiled over Wednesday when he walked off after a question not to his liking that ended a back-and-forth with a reporter with whom he long has had a problem with. Beckham said he has advised Mayfield to tune out his critics. “I told him already. I told him this since I’ve been here. I said, ‘Bro, Drake said it best. He said, ‘In this game, you only lose when you fight back,'” Beckham said, via video from Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. “There is no winning. You could put together the perfect six-sentence thesis, and it’s amazing, and there’s still going to be those two people that are like [grumbling]. It’s just how it is. There’s no winning in this world. It’s a world filled of negativity. I think the biggest downfall we could have in this world Myles Garrett Jersey , and that’s sarcastic, it would be for everybody to be positive. We know negativity sells. We know all that stuff is better than being positive and upbeat, so that’s what we dig; we thrive. We’re looking for the one little thing. I try and watch my words and one line gets taken. It’s like all right, well, that’s not what I said. There were a whole eight lines leading up to that, but this is all you took from it. I understand life. I understand how it goes. I understand that we’re looking for the negative. At the end of the day, we’re human. He wants to win. He’s upset he’s not winning or he hasn’t done to the best of his ability. That’s upsetting.”Beckham said he understands Mayfield’s frustration with reporters.“I’ve oftentimes answered questions with too much authenticity, and it gets taken and used against me, and it’s like I come up here and I respect you,” Beckham said. “Not to say you don’t respect me, but I’m a human. Don’t play with me. I don’t like being played with. It’s a mutual respect thing. At times Jim Brown Jersey White , it feels like that’s lost. We’re only human. I don’t have time to deal with that. I mean, it’s like I’m good. I’m not going to put my energy in a place to where it’s going to put me in a negative space. I’m going to keep my energy for me and keep moving.”The quarterback often gets too much credit and too much blame, and Beckham said there is plenty of blame to go around. Beckham has 34 catches for 488 yards and only one score this season.“Some of the criticism that’s been on him is like you can’t sit here and say it’s all on him,” Beckham said. “We have to take a look at everything that’s going on around him. Obviously, he has to play better. I have to play better. Jarvis [Landry] has to play better. Chubbs [Nick Chubb]. We all have to do better. We all need to do better. You can’t sit there and be like, ‘It’s Baker’s fault.'”]]> linchao https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107713/that%E2%80%99s-why-he%E2%80%99s-not-going-anywhere-anytime-soon Wed, 08 Jan 2020 03:42:28 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/107713/that%E2%80%99s-why-he%E2%80%99s-not-going-anywhere-anytime-soon After a 9-0 win over Washington Trent Taylor Jersey , the San Francisco 49ers’ identity is apparent. They are a team that is going to win with their defense and chew up the clock when they have the ball. Weather limited the Niners’ ability to be effective on Sunday, but they still were able to muster up their usual chunk plays on offense. In those conditions, Kyle Shanahan will take 4.6 yards per play, and 7-16 on third down Washington barely went over 150 yards and were 3-9 on third down. Here are a handful of thoughts from the Niners win.Bend until they breakThe first two drives for the defense the last two weeks have gone similarly. Washington ran the ball 11 times to start the game, and the 12th play was a shovel pass. Like the Rams, they had success. Like the Rams, there is no way that is a sustainable way to move the ball in this league. Even in the worst possible conditions.The 49ers defense will bend until you break. You can run it all you want, but, eventually, one of the many talented defenders are going to make a play. It may not always show up on the stat sheet as a tackle for loss, but holding calls and false starts are detrimental. Washington had a holding call that stalled their first drive. On the next drive, Nick Bosa had a tackle for loss, and when you have to throw on the next two downs in long-distance situations Tom Rathman Jersey White , you’re not going to move the ball. You’re just not. Washington made it to 49ers territory in the second quarter but was stopped on a short fourth-down conversion.The Niners didn’t have a turnover in the stat sheet during the first half, but a missed field goal and a stop on fourth down are all but turnovers in the box score. The defense has consistently played like this in six games. You may hit them with a few jabs early on, but the 49ers hit you with body blows that take too much out of your offense, and that’s how they’ve held teams to ten points in three games.Team unityLost in all the numbers and stats we talk about is the emotional part of the game. When I’ve been at practice or games, the support between the 49ers’ teammates is obvious, and their genuine care for each other is palpable. In postgame interviews, players are always quick to point out one of their running mates doing well. During the game, you see defensive players jumping up and down when there is a big play on offense. If a receiver catches a pass and goes out of bounds, guys rush over to help him up. You can see everyone celebrating, but the details that the TV doesn’t show have helped mold this team into one of the best in the league.After Nick Bosa’s sack to end the game, the announcer said: “a talented team that enjoys being around each other and they’re having a lot of fun.” Watch Arik Armstead’s sack. The entire front seven is running behind and dancing with him. The chemistry on and off the field is showing on Sunday’s for the 49ers, and they’ve benefitted from that immensely.Jimmy’s legsI’m far from a Garoppolo apologist, but there just wasn’t much to take away from Sunday’s game. He had a few poor decisions http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-smith-jersey , which has been consistent this season. Playing in the rain with a waterlogged ball will make 90% of quarterbacks in this league look bad. The added weight makes it tough to put zip on your passes. On his interception and the throw before it, you can see there is no zip on the ball. That’s not usually the case with him. That happened on a few throws, and that’s why I’m not going to kill Jimmy G for his day. If he were to play like that in 70-degree weather in Santa Clara, then I’d understand bringing the pitchforks out.His worst play came on the fumbled snap that ended a drive, and Robbie Gould missed a field goal. His best plays came where Garoppolo was forced to scramble. Jimmy looks like a player that trusts his knee. Nobody is going to confuse Garoppolo with Lamar Jackson. Jimmy G running for 20 yards may not seem like much, but each of those runs kept the 49ers out of a loss. He did a nice job avoiding sacks against the Rams last week, as well. This part of Garoppolo’s game, keeping the 49ers ahead of the chains, will be a big reason for the offenses continued success.Hidden yardageRichie James had two punt returns Sunday. They went for 17 and 13 yards. James has quietly been one of the better punt returners in the league this season. It’s hidden yardage that comes from these returns that is the reason the offense has been able to move the ball in tough spots.After punting on their first possession of the second half, James returns the ball 17 yards to San Francisco’s 23-yard line. Let’s say he doesn’t field the ball, and Washington gets a nice bounce. Do you think Shanahan throws a pass on third down? I don’t. Coincidentally, James found himself wide open over the middle for a 40-yard gain on third down. A drive that probably doesn’t cross midfield and gifts Washington strong field position ends up with a score because James not only fielded a punt but slipped a tackle to get the 49ers out of their end zone. James did the same thing on Washington’s final punt of the game, which put the offense in a position to do what they do best.Body blowsThe 49ers offense has been impressive during their 4-minute offense this season. Those are the drives where they’re leading and need to ice the game. The defense knows the offense will run the ball Womens Jimmie Ward Jersey , but that hasn’t stopped the Niners. A 6-0 lead felt like 21-0 in this one. San Francisco took over with 6:42 left, and Washington didn’t touch the ball until there were 23 seconds left.Having George Kittle to rely on for these situations is nice. Kittle came up with a big conversion for 16 yards on a 3rd & 4. Tevin Coleman had a few nice cuts on the drive, and the 49ers hit Washington with body blow after body blow to eventually ice the game. It says a lot about your team when you can continually convert in your 4-minute offense. Add this to a long list of areas where the 49ers excel at. Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days). Today is offensive lineman Mike Person."The San Francisco 49ers could not have been happier with the production they got out of Mike Person in 2018. Person bounced between the Seattle Seahawks (2012-13), St. Louis Rams (2014), Atlanta Falcons (2015-16), Kansas City Chiefs (2016-17), and Indianapolis Colts (2017). During his career he has appeared in 43 games (18 starts). He appeared in 12 games in 2017 with the Colts. Having bounced around like that, the 49ers were likely expecting a backup performer, at best.In 2018, Person showed the type of toughness and reliability you look for in an offensive lineman. He battled through a foot injury, and still managed to start all 16 games. Going from splitting first team reps with Joshua Garnett to starting every game speaks volumes about Person.Person played right guard for all but 10 snaps in 2018. His positional versatility only helps the team, as he can slide over and play center in a pinch. While Person did give up his share of pressures, he surrendered only one sack all of 2018. His run blocking grades were below average according to PFF http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-mcglinchey-jersey , but another year working with the same guys playing next to you should help the entire offense. Cohesion means a lot with regards to offensive line play.Basic infoAge: 30(Birthday is June 17)Experience: 8 accrued seasonsHeight: 6’4Weight: 300 lbs.Cap StatusSigned a three year extension on March 4, 2019 worth $8.25 million. His 2019 cap hit is $2,750,000.How he might improve in 2019Person went from a utility player to a starter in a matter of months. His hard work paid off and Person was rewarded with a new contract. Person understands landmarks. When the 49ers run their “stretch zone” play, he does a really nice job of cutting off linebackers or reaching defensive lineman to open up a running lane. Person was very impressive at getting to the second level. That’s why he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Where Person can improve on is when he is stationary. Too often in close quarters the defensive tackle would “out athlete” him and get past him. Whether that was in the run or pass game. Person can take his game to the next level if he eliminates that part of his game.How he might regress in 2019Kyle Shanahan’s scheme is built to hide the deficiencies. Getting the ball out quickly helps the offensive line. Person will regress if some of those pressures turn into sacks in 2019. In short yardage situations, Person can be better as well. He has to be if the 49ers are going to reach the next level. I do believe Jimmy Garoppolo being under center will help mask some issues, as will the group of running backs. There were some good sized holes to run through last year, but too often I’d see a running back miss the hole. Person had a few “WTF” plays during games where he would flat out whiff. That was a product of Person lunging. If that continues, he’ll regress.]]> linchao
