Giants General Manager Dave Gettleman stopped

well short of committing to Eli Manning as the team’s 2019 quarterback when he spoke to the media at the end of the 2018 season.Gettleman will speak to reporters from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and we may have gotten a preview of what he’s going to say during head coach Pat Shurmur’s media session. Shurmur said he wants Manning on the team and “fully expects” Manning to be on the team this year.“I think Eli has proven he can win games Mario Edwards Jerseys 2019 ,” Shurmur said.The Giants’ 8-24 record over the last two seasons has led others to feel otherwise and Manning is moving closer to the end of the line under any circumstances, so the Giants may still look to the future and pick a quarterback in the draft this year. Gettleman will likely be asked about that as well, but it sounds like it would be a surprise if any move they make results in Manning being thrown overboard.

Color Rush Jaquan Johnson Jersey

BUFFALO Color Rush Jaquan Johnson Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — A person with direct knowledge of the decision confirms to The Associated Press the Buffalo Bills have informed defensive end Shaq Lawson that they will not pick up the fifth-year option of his contract.The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team has not announced the news, which was first reported by The NFL Network.Teams had until the end of this week to determine whether to pick up the fifth-year options of players selected in the first round of the 2016 draft.Lawson was drafted with the 19th pick out of Clemson, and the Bills’ decision means his contract will expire after this upcoming season.Injuries led to Lawson making an inconsistent impact during his first three seasons. He missed the first six games of his rookie year after having surgery for a shoulder injury. He was limited to playing 11 games in 2017 after sustaining a season-ending ankle injury.Lawson showed signs of promise last season in which he had four sacks and a career-best 12 hits on the quarterback in 14 games.Overall, he has 10 sacks and 20 hits on the quarterback in 35 games. One half of the Bills’ battle for the punting job this season is coming off a torn ACL" Opinion90 Players in 90 Days2019 Buffalo Bills scouting report: punter Cory CarterNew,9commentsOne half of the Bills’ battle for the punting job this season is coming off a torn ACLEDTThe Buffalo Bills cycled through quite a few punters last season. While some were unable to kick due to injury, others were released thanks to ineffectiveness. This season Youth Jaquan Johnson Jersey , the Bills have a two-way battle for the gig between players with the same first name.In today’s installment of “90 players in 90 days,” we examine one of Buffalo’s players involved in the “Cory vs. Corey” battle for punting excellence.

Name: Cory CarterNumber: 7Position: PHeight/Weight: 5’11” 220 lbs. Age: 25 (26 on 3/4/20)Experience/Draft: 2; signed as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans in January 2017College: Texas SouthernAcquired: Signed to Bills’ practice squad on 12/5/17; signed reserve/future deal on 1/8/18

Financial situation (per Spotrac): Carter enters the final year of a two-year deal signed at the conclusion of the 2017 NFL season. The total value of the contract is $1,052,000, and Carter’s cap number for 2019 will be $495,000 Womens Jaquan Johnson Jersey , should he make the team. The contract has a $2,000 signing bonus, so Carter will count $1,000 in dead money should the team cut him.2018 Recap: Carter was in a battle with Colton Schmidt last season to be the team’s regular punter, and he averaged 48 yards per punt (with a net average of 38 yards per punt) during the preseason. However, on that third punt Authentic Jaquan Johnson Jersey , which was against the Cleveland Browns, Carter tore his ACL. The Bills placed him on injured reserve shortly thereafter. Positional outlook: Carter and Corey Bojorquez are the only two punters on Buffalo’s roster. Two Corys (Coreys? Cories? Eh, you know what I mean!) may enter, but only one will prevail.2019 Offseason: Carter has been a full participant during offseason activities thus far.2019 Season outlook: The Bills liked Carter enough to bring him in to compete last year against Schmidt, and given the fact that the Bills eventually released Schmidt not once, but twice last year Jaquan Johnson Jersey Boys , it’s likely that Carter would have won the punting gig out of camp if not for his injury. Bojorquez was effective last year, averaging 45.1 yards per punt in eight games, so the competition for the job should be a good one. I’ll give a slight edge to Cory without the “e” this year barring injury.

The New York Jets host the Buffalo Bills this week in

what could be a throwback quarterback matchup fit for 2007. Josh McCown is set to start for the Jets due to a foot sprain suffered by rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Buffalo’s quarterback situation is so bad that if injured rookie Josh Allen Dion Dawkins Jerseys Stitched , who is recovering from an elbow sprain suffered three weeks ago, is unable to play, then they are hoping that the recently un-retired Derek Anderson can clear concussion protocol in time to avoid another Nathan Peterman start.None of this points to a hotbed of fantasy football activity, but there are certainly some members of Gang Green worth considering for your lineup this week.RB Isaiah CrowellThe Bills have been very hit or miss against running backs this year. When they’ve been good, they’ve been really good, allowing only 12.5, 10, and 13 points combined to the running backs for the Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, and Houston Texans. However Matt Milano Jersey , they have allowed eight different running backs to score in double-figures this year, and they have allowed 3 running backs to surpass the 20-point mark in a week. Crowell has been just as hit or miss, scoring 18 points or more on three occasions. In the other six games in which he’s played, he has not surpassed 6.5 points. He has the kind of explosiveness that could give Buffalo problems, especially if the Bills’ offense continues its trend and gifts the Jets solid field position all day long.Jets D/STThis one is pretty self explanatory. Buffalo has allowed 4 defensive touchdowns this season. They only have 8 touchdowns themselves on the year. The Bills have thrown 16 interceptions, lost 6 fumbles, and allowed 33 sacks. If the Jets’ defense is available, pick them up and start them.K Jason MyersThe Jets’ kicker is available in 63% of Yahoo! leagues. Guess who the highest-scoring kicker in fantasy football is this year? If you guessed the Marist College product, then you are correct. Myers has 91 fantasy points, one more than Stephen Gostkowski has. Myers is doing Poughkeepsie proud Jim Kelly Jersey , playing only 2 hours south of his college digs. If the Bills defense is able to bend and not break, the Red Fox will be in line for a big day. Myers is 20-for-22 on the year, and 10-for-11 on kicks over 40 yards. He’s definitely worth an add. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Russ Brandon abruptly resigned his dual role as president of the NFL Buffalo Bills and NHL Buffalo Sabres after being confronted by the teams’ owners regarding an inappropriate relationship with a female employee, two people with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is an internal matter, and owners Terry and Kim Pegula did not provide a reason for accepting Brandon’s resignation in a statement they released Tuesday.The relationship in question first became apparent to a number of team employees in late December, when the Sabres were in New York City to play the Rangers at the NHL’s Winter Classic, the people said.Kim Pegula will take over Brandon’s roles overseeing the Bills, Sabres and Pegula Sports Entertainment, the company which controls the owners’ numerous holdings.In a text to The AP Womens Thurman Thomas Jersey , Brandon said he has contemplated stepping down from the job for some time, and felt the timing was right after the conclusion of the NFL draft.“My goal when the Pegulas purchased the franchise was to reach 20 years with the Bills, in which I achieved this past November,” Brandon wrote.“As grateful as I am for the amazing experience and the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work with the past two decades, I am just as anxious for the professional opportunities that lie ahead,” he added.Brandon did not respond to follow-up questions regarding his relationship.Brandon’s departure comes after the Bills made a big splash in the first round of the draft by trading up to select both Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen with the seventh pick, and Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds with the 16th pick. The new additions join a Bills team that went 9-7 and ended a 17-year playoff drought last year.On Saturday, the last-place Sabres earned a boost by winning the NHL draft lottery and the right to the No. 1 pick for the third time in franchise history.“We have a tremendous amount of confidence in the strong leadership team we have built within each of these entities over the last several years,” the statement from the Pegulas read. “We are excited about the direction of our teams, especially after this past weekend’s NFL draft and NHL lottery results. Our focus remains on building championship teams on and off the field for our fans and community.”Brandon most recently served as the Bills managing partner http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-bruce-smith-jersey , was the Sabres alternate on the NHL’s board of governors and a member of the NFL’s business ventures committee.The timing of Brandon’s exit comes at a time he was supposed to the Bills’ next big venture in determining their future home. Brandon was expected to lead the team’s stadium search committee in deciding whether the Bills should continue playing at their current home or develop a new facility in downtown Buffalo.He served in various roles with the Bills, involving both marketing and football decisions during a two-year stint as general manager from 2008-09. He also took the lead in negotiating the Bills most recent lease five years ago, which played a critical role in securing the franchise’s long-term future in Buffalo especially following late-Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson’s death in March 2014.The lease included a strict non-relocation clause that included a $400 million penalty the team would be forced to pay if it considered moving before 2020.Brandon also oversaw the Bills’ eventual sale to the Pegulas, who completed their $1.4 billion purchase of the franchise in October 2014.The Pegulas retained Brandon and elevated him to the role of managing partner. The Pegulas thought so highly of Brandon, the Sabres were added to his responsibilities after the team reached a mutual agreement to part ways with Ted Black in July 2015.Brandon’s resignation continues a large turnover of Bills executives who served under Wilson. Bruce Popko is the senior holdover and now becomes the top executive as chief operating officer of Buffalo-based Pegula Sports and Entertainment, which oversees the Pegulas’ numerous holdings.Brandon grew up in nearby Syracuse, New York, and began making his mark in Buffalo shortly after being hired by the Bills in 1997 to serve as the team’s business development and marketing director.He began by spearheading a campaign to transform them into a regional team by expanding the franchise’s fan base to offset Buffalo’s dropping population base.That process began in 2000, when the team shifted training camp to Brandon’s alma mater, St. John Fisher College in suburban Rochester Color Rush Darryl Johnson Jersey , to capitalize on the community’s corporate and larger population base.Later, the Bills boosted their presence across southern Ontario by negotiating a deal to begin playing annual regular season games in Toronto starting in 2008. The “Bills In Toronto” series lasted through 2013 before the deal was placed on hold the following year and then terminated by the Pegulas.Toronto-based media giant, Rogers Communications, paid the Bills $78 million to essentially lease eight games (five regular season and three preseason) during the initial five-year agreement. The price was almost double what the Bills were projected to generate if those games were played at their home facility.The series also spurred a large bump in season-ticket purchases from across the border. By 2015, the Bills estimated southern Ontario fans accounted for about 18 percent of their season-ticket sales, surpassing their support from Rochester.Not everything succeeded under Brandon, who drew criticism for a number of decisions, including failing to build a winner during his two-year stint as the Bills GM when Wilson elected to promote from within the organization after Marv Levy stepped down following a two-year tenure.——

4: 31-29-2Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Pittsburgh (-3) vs. AtlantaBoth of these teams need this win pretty badly. A loss for the Falcons would drop them to 1-4 Youth Eli Manning Jerseys , & a Steelers loss at home would drop them to 1-3-1. Both QBs should have big days, but the Falcons manage to steal one on the road.Pick: Atlanta (+3)Baltimore (-3) vs. Cleveland Baker Mayfield is going to continue to get better and better, but I have a hard time picking against the Baltimore here. The Ravens have one of the top defenses in the league and haven’t lost in Cleveland in five years.Pick: Baltimore (-3)New York Jets (-1) vs. DenverDenver is a different team on the road, and it’s time for Darnold to start getting things going again.Pick: New York Jets (-1)Green Bay (-1.5) vs. Detroit This game could go either way, but I’ll pick the team who is out looking for a little revenge. The Lions ran it up on the Packers in week 17 of last season, winning 35-11 in an ugly game. With Aaron Rodgers back, I’ll take Green Bay.Pick: Green Bay (-1.5)Kansas City (-3) vs. JacksonvilleWith this comment about Tyreek Hill, Jalen Ramsey has added fuel to what already was going to be an excellent game.Pick: Jacksonville (+3)Cincinnati (-6) vs. MiamiJoe Mixon should be back for the Bengals, and Miami is coming off a difficult blowout loss to the Pats.Pick: Cincinnati (-6)Carolina (-6.5) vs. New York GiantsThe state of the Giants right now is… interesting. They can’t protect the QB, so the Panthers should be able to get after Eli. They win this one with ease.Pick: Carolina (-6.5)Tennessee (-5.5) vs. BuffaloComing off an emotional win at home against the defending champs, the Titans struggle a bit against Buffalo. Josh Allen puts forth a solid performance in Buffalo and keeps it close.Pick: Buffalo (+5.5)Los Angeles Chargers (-5.5) vs. OaklandThis game will be like a home game for Oakland.

Here is everything you need to know to be ready when the Giants’ first draft pick is in.On to Day 22019 NFL Draft: Best available players after round one - SBNation.comMissouri QB Drew Lock is one of the key storylines to follow on Day 2 of the draft.Giants make one more first-round moveThe Giants traded up into the end of the first round to select Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker at No. 30. That, potentially, gives the Giants a quarterback of the future and two defensive starters in the first 30 selections. [Full story]Twitter isn’t happy with Dave GettlemanLet’s just say the Daniel Jones pick is not playing well on social media. [More reactions]Giants trade back into first round, select Deandre BakerThe Giants weren’t done on Thursday night. The Giants traded picks 37, 132, and 142 to the Seattle Seahawks for pick 30. With the selection, the Giants took cornerback Deandre Baker from Georgia (full post here). Last year for the Bulldogs Eli Manning Jerseys Stitched , Baker allowed a 44.2 percent completion percentage and 4.1 yards per target on 43 targets per Sports Info Solutions.Giants take Dexter Lawrence at No. 17Hog. Mollies. With the 17th overall pick, the Giants selected Dexter Lawrence, a nose tackle from Clemson (full post here). At 340 pounds, Lawrence was the rock in the middle of the highly talented Clemson defensive line. Per Sports Info Solutions, Lawrence played 48.1 percent of his snaps at the nose and 48.7 percent of his snaps at a more traditional defensive tackle. He’ll add to the rotation along with B.J. Hill and Dalvin Tomlinson.Haskins to RedskinsDwayne Haskins, who many thought should have been the Giants’ target if they were going to select a quarterback, slid to the quarterback-needy Washington Redskins at No. 15. That, of course sets up an interesting “who was right?” narrative between the NFC East rivals over the next decade or so. Not to mention that as of now Drew Lock is still on the board.Giants take QB Daniel Jones at No. 6With the sixth overall pick, the Giants selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones (full post here). Jones was one of the more polarizing prospects in this draft class, but will be the heir apparent behind Eli Manning.The Giants will pick again at No. 17.First domino fallsIf the Giants want to go get Josh Rosen, now they can.

Week 6: Patriots fans are back as one of the top 10

most confident fan bases in the NFL Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL Hjalte Froholdt Jersey Boys , powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Patriots fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.It’s amazing what a couple of wins can do for the confidence of a fan base. Back in week 4, after back-to-back losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions, fans of the New England Patriots were experiencing a low point. According to our poll, only 31% of Patriots fans were confident in the team, the sixth-lowest mark in the league- ahead of only the Pittsburgh Steelers (26%), Denver Broncos (23%), Houston Texans (12%), Dallas Cowboys (6%), and Arizona Cardinals (5%). After beating the Miami Dolphins, Patriots fans’ confidence skyrocketed back up to 73%, which ranked 13th overall in the league.Another week later and a victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the pocket and Patriots fans’ confidence crept up to 75% and back into the top ten.Los Angeles Rams (100%)Kansas City Chiefs (99%)New Orleans Saints (97%)Cleveland Browns (96%) (adorable)Chicago Bears (96%)Cincinnati Bengals (87%)Indianapolis Colts (84%) (what)Carolina Panthers (84%)New England Patriots (75%)Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings (70%)Good for Browns and Colts fans for having so much confidence in their teams! Patriots fans also expect to defeat the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football by an average of 1 point, while Chiefs fans expect to win on the road by an average of 5 points. Splitting the difference suggests a Chiefs victory by 2 points. We’ll see how this game plays out! ATLANTA (AP) — That super shootout everyone expected turned into a defensive standoff. The New England Patriots showed they can win that type of championship game, too.So after Tom Brady led one classic drive to win the Patriots their record-tying sixth Super Bowl, he perfectly summed up the 13-3 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Rams.“Finally got a touchdown and the defense played the best game of the year,” Brady said.Article continues below ...In a season in which all sorts of offensive records were set Infant Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , this Super Bowl rewrote the defensive record book.“How about our defense? How about our defense?” he said. “They played unbelievable.”So well that their leader linebacker Dont’a Hightower, joked they had extra incentive.“I’m tired of hearing about Brady,” he said with a laugh. “I won one today — we all got one. It feels good for us to get it all. Shout out to him getting his, but this is a team game and it feels good to win.”But the defense still needed vintage Brady for one drive . He threw two perfect passes to Rob Gronkowski to set up rookie Sony Michel’s 2-yard score — the only touchdown in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever. That put New England up 10-3. A late field goal clinched it 13-3.No Super Bowl had gone into the fourth quarter without a touchdown. This one did, tied 3-3 — even though these teams had combined to average over 60 points a game.When the Patriots needed a score, Brady, the oldest winning quarterback in a Super Bowl at 41, completed four straight passes, including a pair covering 47 yards to Gronkowski. The second , on which the star tight end beat two defenders, ended at the Los Angeles 2, the only time either team was inside the 20-yard line. Michel ran off left tackle for his sixth postseason touchdown.“He knows to trust in me and throw that ball,” Gronkowski said, “and I’m going to grab it.”Julian Edelman, the outstanding receiver who missed the 2017 season with a knee injury, was the game’s MVP with 10 receptions for 141 yards.With 4:17 left, All-Pro Stephon Gilmore picked off an ill-advised pass by Rams quarterback Jared Goff Hjalte Froholdt Jersey Draft , who seemed overwhelmed by the big stage all night, at the New England 2.Stephen Gostkowski made a 41-yard field goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a 72-yard march that took more than three minutes off the clock and included 26-yard runs by Michel and Rex Burkhead.It was a workmanlike conclusion for the Patriots (14-5), whose losses all came away from New England. They beat the top two offenses in the Chiefs and Rams (15-4) in the postseason, and tied Pittsburgh for most Super Bowl titles.“We’re a relentless team,” Hightower said after New England allowed the fewest points in a Super Bowl (tied with Dallas in 1972 against Miami). “We didn’t give up. A lot was thrown at us. When we play like we did tonight, we can’t be beat.”The Rams, who reached the NFL championship game with the aid of a major officiating error in the conference title victory at New Orleans, never really threatened to reach the end zone.“Last time I checked, defense wins championships,” Rams running back C.J. Anderson said.At 66, Bill Belichick became the oldest winning Super Bowl coach. The Patriots beat the Rams, then representing St. Louis, to begin their dynastic run in the 2002 game. They also have beaten Carolina and Philadelphia (2004 and ’05, the last back-to-back championships); the Seahawks in 2015; and the Falcons in 2017 in the only overtime in Super Bowl history.They have lost three times, including to Philadelphia a year ago. New England is the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to win a Super Bowl the year after losing one.How the Patriots accomplished it was atypical. The 10-point margin was their biggest in winning a championship.“This whole year, it was the biggest team win Hjalte Froholdt NFL Jersey , the biggest team Super Bowl that I’ve ever been a part of,” said Gronkowski, who could be headed for retirement.Brady, who has won four Super Bowl MVP trophies, wasn’t particularly sharp — except when throwing to Edelman. He was the steadiest offensive player on the field.“It just matters that we won,” Edelman said. “It was a crazy year. We had a resilient bunch of guys.”Brady passed Hall of Famer Charles Haley to become the only player with six Super Bowl titles.All those suspicions about the Patriots declining this season became moot as the defense made the 24-year-old Goff look awful and turned All-Pro running back Todd Gurley into a nonfactor.It wasn’t a typical New England championship win. The 2 1/2-point favorite Patriots moved the ball well, ran down the clock, but made uncharacteristic gaffes on offense. Goff and the Rams made more.“I think we expected to score a lot more points than that,” Goff said. “It sucks that’s the way it worked out, but we’ll use this as a learning experience.”A painful one.LA’s second-ranked offense managed 57 total yards for the first half. The Rams were completely overmatched on the line and were particularly unable to handle the elusive Edelman, who had seven receptions for 93 yards.Coach Sean McVay, whose Rams never had been blanked in a first half, let out a long, deep sigh just before halftime, recognizing how badly his team was manhandled, even though it trailed just 3-0.It was the lowest score at halftime since Super Bowl 9, which Pittsburgh led 2-0 over Minnesota.McVay Hjalte Froholdt NFL Draft , the youngest Super Bowl head coach at 33, admitted he was outcoached. He had no answers as Gurley, coming off knee issues, managed 35 yards rushing, Goff went 19 for 38 for 229 yards and was sacked four times. Brandin Cooks, a Patriots receiver last season, did have eight receptions for 120 yards.“They did a great job. I’m disappointed that I didn’t do a better job of adjusting,” McVay said. “I know there is a handful of decisions that I’m going to wish that I could have back, for sure.”KICKING GAMEGostkowski’s 46-yard miss wide left in the first quarter was the first unsuccessful field goal in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Falcons, by an NFL player all season.The Rams’ Johnny Hekker had a 65-yard punt in the third quarter, the longest in a Super Bowl. It was his eighth punt of the game — with 1 1-2 periods remaining — the most for LA in McVay’s two seasons in charge.Greg Zuerlein tied it with 2:11 left in the third quarter on the first drive on which Los Angeles gained more than one first down. His 53-yarder was the second-longest field goal in a Super Bowl.COIN TOSSMcVay deferred after winning the coin toss. In their previous two playoff games, the Patriots marched right downfield to a touchdown with the opening kickoff, setting an immediate tone. This time, after Cordarrelle Patterson’s 38-yard kickoff return and four successful runs, Brady’s first pass was tipped by receiver Chris Hogan and cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman. Linebacker Cory Littleton made a diving interception. It was the first time Brady was picked on his initial throw in a postseason game.INJURIESNew England lost safety Patrick Chung on the third play of the second half when his right forearm was caught between Gurley’s shoulder pad and the helmet of teammate Jonathan Jones. Chung writhed in pain before walking off with an air cast on.

Truthfully the writing has been on the wall since the team signed C.J. Mosley in free agency.First round picks sign four year contracts Brandon Copeland Jerseys 2019 , but the team has an option for the fifth season. The deadline for picking it up occurs in the offseason between the player’s third and fourth years in the league. The money is not guaranteed during the player’s fourth NFL season unless the player suffers a serious injury. The money becomes guaranteed if he remains on his team’s roster at the start of the next league year. Lee’s fifth year option would have been for $9.5 million.The question now becomes whether the Jets will be able to trade Lee before the start of the season. CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns top receiver Jarvis Landry is questionable to play in Thursday night’s game against the New York Jets because of a knee issue.Landry, who has 12 catches for 175 yards in his first two games for Cleveland White Trumaine Johnson Jerseys , has been limited during workouts this week and the team listed him as questionable on Wednesday’s injury report.Landry said he was confident he would play when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday.Linebacker Christian Kirksey is doubtful as he continues to recover from an ankle and shoulder problem.

Hard Count Episode 18-4: Le’Veon Bell Womens Jameis Winston Jersey , Vita Vea, Colin Kaepernick and Nike The pre-season is in the books, the regular season is about to start and on this coming Sunday - well, Saturday afternoon or evening really - the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will storm into New Orleans to take on the Saints!If that wasn’t drama enough, we’ve got some other things happening around the league. So let’s jump right in.OFFSIDES: Le’Veon Bell Not Returning to Steelers ApparentlySuperstar running back Le’Veon Bell has not signed his franchise tag with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has not returned to the team and apparently will not play in Week 1.His entire future is in question, with Bell firmly in the driver’s seat, kind of.This is a sensitive subject. One with three sides. Fans, Franchise and Players.For the fans, they want to see their players on the field. They pay good money to do so, and when they don’t get to see their guys for anything other than an injury it tends to ruffle the collective feathers a bit.Now, some fans are ok with Bell’s holdout. Some are not. Such is life.Bell has maintained that his pursuit of such a large purse for his services isn’t all about him, and is more about his running back brethren. Well, it seems his pursuit of securing better futures for his position-mates is about to impact the futures of his teammates and it isn’t sitting all that well for some of them.I chose this tweet for a very specific reason. As it says in the tweet itself, the comments came from the Steelers’ player representative.There has been much debate over the past few seasons - even further really - about how player contracts, suspensions, treatment, etc are handled within the league. Well, Foster is the guy chosen to represent the interests and opinions of the Steelers when it comes to discussing matters like this.It’s a leadership position, make no mistake about that. So, for him to come out in anger or disappointment as it might be, is a big deal.Bell’s ‘Robin Hood’ claims always felt a bit shallow. Sure, his receiving a bigger contract sets up future backs, but that’s kind of a residual impact felt across the board by every position. It’s not specific to this one.And if this superstar is going to seriously look out for the interests of a group of peers, it should be his teammates first.It’s hard to balance personal ambitions with teammate responsibilities. Some would argue he has no responsibility to his teammates. I would disagree.His responsibility isn’t to cave on his demands though. It’s to be clear and honest about them. If not to the media and public then to the men who suit up and share in the punishment all NFL players take in the pursuit of football immortality.It would appear he hasn’t done so. The comments coming out of Pittsburgh by his teammates speak to me more as surprised frustration than anything, and if Bell felt like his front office didn’t appreciate him, he’s really feeling unloved now.Photo by Tim Warner/Getty ImagesFALSE START: Vita Vea Not Ready For His Close-UpPro football is a drama. Who will rise and who will fall? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out a tight end throws a touchdown pass to a back-up quarterback to win the Super Bowl despite losing the franchise quarterback and MVP candidate.Well, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are no stranger to drama. Last year it was ‘Hard Knocks’ Jordan Whitehead Jersey White , hype-mania, alphabet diets and ‘Chucky’.This year it’s suspensions, emerging young talent and the absence of their first-round draft pick, Vita Vea.James Yarcho and I discussed Vea on Thursday’s episode of the Locked on Bucs Podcast, and in it I addressed the term ‘bust’ being floated around a certain winged social media platform.For me, players who suffer career-ending or altering injuries early on don’t belong in the ‘bust’ pile. Unless the injury was pre-existing and the scouting staff or general manager just didn’t believe the medicine. Even then, it’s a bust on the general manager, not the player.Some aren’t so forgiving. First-round picks should become franchise corner stones immediately, or they suck. *spits in disgust*This thought process is as flawed as it is incorrect. It’s not to say I don’t expect Vea to come back and become a key part of the defensive front strategy. Of course I do. But folks, the man suffered an injury.He’s not lagging behind the playbook, getting busted for drug use and/or possession, beating women, etc, etc, etc. He’s hurt. Normally, this is not a voluntary situation.There’s no measurement a man can make that says: ‘Do this many reps of this exercise and you’ll never suffer this injury.’It would be cool if it did, but it doesn’t work that way. Vea isn’t one regular season game into his rookie year yet. Several players have missed more time than Vea likely will and have gone on to be just fine. Ask Odell Beckham Jr.Will Vea be a bust? He could? But is he before the second week of September in the year he was drafted because he suffered an unfortunate injury? No.Let’s slow down on the bust conversations a bit. At least until he gets to file taxes on his first-round contract first.Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesFREE PLAY: COLIN KAEPERNICK AND NIKEAnd here we go.Name a more polarizing player in the history of the NFL outside of Colin Kaepernick. You can’t.Nike knows this, and went all in on his message.There are more wrinkles to this saga than I can even try to accurately iron out in one Bucs Nation posting.But I do have some thoughts, and will share them with those of you who choose to read them here and now.First, racism is very much alive in America. Hell, it’s alive all over the globe. I myself have experienced racism in at least four different languages and on three different continents.I don’t honestly believe racism will ever die. Just last week I was brought back to that reality when I stopped by a local business for some dinner. Let’s just say I was very quickly delivered a message that my presence was not appreciated by the patrons or the staff and owners.Fortunately, it was an experience I hadn’t encountered for quite some time. Unfortunately, it was one which mirrored some other experiences in my life. Simply because my skin tone is a few shades darker than the rest of the people there that evening.No, racism will never die.What can die is the willingness of people to act on such hate. We all have prejudices or make unfair assumptions. My own Wife won’t fly because big metal tubes shouldn’t be able to stay in the air. This hurts nothing but my vehicle lifespan and gas consumption when we go on vacation.It’s not our prejudices alone which harm. It’s the actions we choose to take based on them that deliver the damage. Which brings me to my second thought.Our country was built on standing up for your beliefs. The Bill of Rights is very clearly shaped to ensure our fellow citizens would never be forced into group thought or action, but be free to express their thoughts and beliefs as they see fit as individuals. The key, is not harming others. Violent protests of course are not a part of this. Peaceful protests, are.Whether we agree or disagree with the protest of others, as long as those protests don’t infringe on the rights Carlton Davis Jersey White , property or physical health of another, they are just.Finally, there’s Nike. If there’s one thing which can sour a message, it’s sponsorship. If you have time, watch, “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” by Morgan Spurlock, and you’ll see an example of what I’m talking about.The Sufferage Parade, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech are all examples of successful and impactful protests. None were sponsored.Nike and Kaepernick hid that he was getting paid by them all this time for a marketing plan which would be strategically released at the right time. An advertisement deployment which quite frankly has been dependent on the fact Kaepernick still hasn’t been signed by an NFL franchise.Outside of gifts and parties, we don’t tend to hide things we feel will go over well, now do we?The intended message is a good one. But plastering the word sacrifice onto an ad featuring an NFL quarterback who terminated his own employment and has since had a marketing strategy built around his being - and remaining - unemployed, just doesn’t fit.This fact doesn’t make the racist actions of others justified. It doesn’t make the message any less important. But it does sour the delivery a bit. Bottom line, ‘sacrifice’ was the wrong word here. Sacrifice doesn’t get paid. Sacrifice doesn’t get sponsored. Sacrifice is painful and uncomfortable.I don’t know about you, but a person’s face being plastered on a billboard with a Nike logo is not the image of sacrifice and struggle I’d expect. For fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers it hasn’t been a very happy season up to this point. But, it doesn’t mean we can’t all enjoy a happy Thanksgiving as we sit down to eat good food with good people. At least I hope you’re sitting with good people.Of course, there is football to be seen as three games will try to keep you entertained this holiday. The Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions kick it all off with a 1230 PM EST game. Then, it’s the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys at 430 PM EST - which is perfect, because I plan on napping around then. Finally, end the day with pumpkin pie and the Atlanta Falcons matching up against the New Orleans Saints.Three divisional match-ups, and two games that project to be really really good contests.Until then, let’s have a little fun.On a bonus episode of the Locked on Bucs podcast, James Yarcho and I decided to do a little Thanksgiving day food comparison to Tampa Bay Buccaneers players of today. I know, hard-hitting stuff. But it’s Thanksgiving. So we don’t need to be too serious all the time, right?We each made our own player menu, but here’s a peak at some of the highlights.James Yarcho’s picks (JY) David Harrison’s picks (DH)TURKEY: QB, JAMEIS WINSTON (JY)Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty ImagesThe main course for this year’s Bucs menu is No. 3 himself. As the hopeful franchise quarterback of Tampa Bay’s storied franchise, the better Winston is doing, the more people are watching. Now that he’s back in the starting lineup Warren Sapp Jersey White , it gives an underlying sense of purpose to the remaining games as most Bucs fans have moved on to thinking about what might be for 2019.STUFFING: G, ALI MARPET (DH)Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesStuffing, dressing, whatever you call it, it’s delicious. And it’s super versatile. Able to accompany just about any protein you choose, Marpet can play just about any position on the offensive line you choose.MASHED POTATOES: WR, ADAM HUMPHRIES (JY)Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesConsistent, smooth, and always available when you need them. This describes Adam Humphries and, apparently, mashed potatoes.SWEET POTATOES: TE, O.J. HOWARD (DH)Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty ImagesWhomever first thought to throw marshmallows on top of sweet potatoes was a genius. Plain and simple.That person may just be the Teressa Bellissimo of Thanksgiving. Two things which shouldn’t go together, yet do so well.Tight ends in the NFL today typically either block really well or catch really well. Rarely do you get both of those ingredients in one. With Howard, you have just that. And this is why he was my pick for sweet potatoes.MACARONI AND CHEESE: TE, O.J. HOWARD (JY)Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty ImagesIt’s not surprising this young Bucs tight end is potentially two dishes here as he’s shown so much versatility already in his career.Unfortunately, we’ll all have to wait until 2019 to get our next serving of the standout player after the Bucs placed him on IR this week with ahigh ankle sprain. Drake approves.CRANBERRY SAUCE: KICKERS (DH)Not one specifically. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been through so many it’s hard to pinpoint one.Well, we’re in luck. Because cranberry sauce is the embodiment of many berries combined into one dish. Thus, we have the Bucs’ kickers ever since Matt Bryant was allowed to travel north to Atlanta.Don’t get me wrong here. Sometimes they’re good, but no matter what, you don’t want to rely on this spot to make the whole thing work.PUMPKIN PIE: WR, DESEAN JACKSON (JY)Photo by Will Vragovic/Getty ImagesIf you listened to the Locked on Bucs’ reactions episode following the team’s Week 11 loss to the New York Giants, then you’ve already heard what Mr. Yarcho had to say about Jackson.Let that be your guide as to what his opinion of Thanksgiving’s most popular desert food is.BONUS FOOD - PECAN PIE: WR, CHRIS GODWIN (JY)Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesThe discussion was a fun one, and we went so far as to allow Yarcho a bonus food so he could fit Chris Godwin in there.

SANTA CLARA Womens Tarvarius Moore Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Mike McGlinchey’s first test as an NFL tackle came against one of the league’s top pass rushers in Dallas’ DeMarcus Lawrence.Things will only get tougher this week when McGlinchey must contend with three-time former AP Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney when the 49ers travel to Houston for two days of practice against the Texans before an exhibition game on Saturday.“It’s going to be fun. It’s definitely going to be fun,” McGlinchey said. “That’s why you play in the NFL, to play against the biggest and the baddest dudes and they have three or four of them. It’s going to be pretty fun. I’m more worried about the heat monster than those guys. As long as I can stay upright and not lose 15 pounds in practice, I’ll come out a winner.”McGlinchey and the 49ers were pleased with his exhibition debut against the Cowboys when he was matched up with Lawrence — who tied for second in the NFL with 14 1/2 sacks last year — on the first drive and stayed for two more to get as much experience as possible before the start of the regular season.McGlinchey mostly held his own, although he was upset about his technique on a bull rush move by Lawrence that led to a hit on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.“I was really happy with Mike,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “First game for him. That’s why we left him in there a little bit longer. By no means was it perfect, but it was very easy to see that the game is not too big for him. He’s very comfortable out there. He looks like the player he looked in college when we studied him, how he’s looked in practice. He got out there and didn’t change. He’s a guy who I think gets better as the game goes on because he is talented, but he also is very smart and doesn’t get overwhelmed with things. When he does make a mistake, he usually learns from it.”The 49ers are counting on big things this season from McGlinchey after drafting him ninth overall out of Notre Dame in April and then trading last year’s starter at right tackle, Trent Brown, to New England.San Francisco immediately put McGlinchey in the starting lineup in the offseason and is grooming him to eventually take over for stalwart Joe Staley on the left side.The two have struck up an immediate friendship based in part on a shared history. Staley’s college coach at Central Michigan was Brian Kelly, who later took over at Notre Dame. Several of Kelly’s assistants coached Staley in college and used him as an example at Notre Dame.McGlinchey said that because the two approach the game in a similar way, he has peppered Staley with 20 to 30 questions each day about how to excel as a tackle in the NFL.“It’s been great,” he said. “I really can’t think of myself being any luckier than I am because I do ask a lot of questions. I don’t really leave him alone. He doesn’t ever turn me away. He doesn’t ever say shut up or anything like that so he’s there for me. He’s there to help me with anything I see.”It’s become a bit of a running joke how close the two have become the past few months with Staley calling McGlinchey his best friend and little brother.“The reason why is I see so much potential,” Staley said. “He has the absolute right mindset to succeed in the NFL. The guy is really hungry to learn every single day. He comes to meetings and asks the right questions and picks up the playbook really well. I just see all the potential he has. I think he has nothing but great things ahead in his career. I look forward to being a mentor to a younger guy and teaching him things I’ve learned and hopefully he can surpass me some day.”NOTES: The 49ers signed RB Alfred Morris to a one-year deal to add depth with Jerick McKinnon (calf) and Matt Breida (shoulder) injured. … OL Alan Knott was waived to make room on the roster. TAMPA Dante Pettis Jersey , Fla. (AP) — With six games remaining in mostly disappointing seasons for Tampa Bay and San Francisco, both struggling squads are seeking answers that will help them beyond 2018.The odds may be against either club salvaging the year with a playoff berth, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything meaningful the Buccaneers (3-7) and 49ers (2-8) can accomplish beginning Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.Tampa Bay is turning back to Jameis Winston a month after benching the 2015 No. 1 overall draft pick with hopes the fourth-year will settle a debate about whether he’s the right quarterback to lead the franchise moving forward.Meanwhile, San Francisco returns from a bye week during which coach Kyle Shanahan and his staff did some self-scouting. The second-year coach had a straight-forward message for players when the team reassembled for practice.“There’s a lot on the line,” Shanahan said. “That’s stuff that is obvious. Everyone knows that, but to state it to guys and just make people aware because you never assume that everyone knows what you’re talking about. There’s always guys you’ve got to let them know what the deal is in this league.“You come back and people might think you don’t have much to play for. You have everything to play for,” the coach added. “You have your career, you have your livelihood, you have the guys next to you and you have showing people that you want to be (with the 49ers). When you start to think of that, you think of all the challenges ahead. I’m excited to do it.”Winston is excited to have another opportunity as Tampa Bay’s starter. He sat out the first three games of the season while serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, then turned the ball over 11 times in 14 quarters after getting back on the field.Ryan Fitzpatrick posted dazzling passing numbers during a 2-0 start, however the 14-year veteran has lost his past five starts and the Bucs have dropped seven of eight overall to jeopardize their chances of ending a 10-year playoff drought.“I’m just grateful that I’m back on the field,” said Winston, who replaced Fitzpatrick during the second half of last week’s 38-35 loss to the New York Giants and led four straight touchdown drives to get Tampa Bay back in the game.Coach Dirk Koetter isn’t saying if he considers the job Winston’s for the remainder of the season.“You’ve got to win. That’s all that matters in this league,” Winston said. “You can look at stats … but you’ve got to win to be up to the standard of excellence we’re held to at this position.”The 49ers lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending knee injury in the third week of the season. Nick Mullens, who’ll make his third straight start Sunday http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-tevin-coleman-jersey , replaced an injured C.J. Beathard three weeks ago and has gone 1-1 while throwing for 512 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions while beating the Raiders and losing to the Giants.One person who’s not surprised Mullens has responded to the opportunity is the quarterback’s former college coach Todd Monken, who’s now Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator.Monken recruited Mullens to Southern Mississippi in 2013 and left to join the Bucs in 2016.“He’s everything you want in a player and as a quarterback,” Monken said. “He’s elite in a lot of areas that are hard to find when it comes to his toughness, mental toughness, his preparation, how much he enjoys playing football and his personality, where guys are going to gravitate toward him.“He’s not a flashy guy, he’s not going to say the wrong thing. He’s just going to work his rear end off. I couldn’t be happier for him. …We wouldn’t have done the things we did at Southern Miss without him. He’s made me a better coach.”Some other things to know about the 49ers and Buccaneers:MORE MULLENSMullens followed up a record-setting debut with a much more mediocre performance in a loss to the Giants before the bye. Now San Francisco wants to see which version of Mullens shows up against the Bucs.In his debut against Oakland, Mullens joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton as the only players with at least 250 yards passing, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in their first career game. He also had the most efficient debut since the merger for a player with at least 20 attempts, posting a 151.9 rating in the 34-3 win. He followed that up with two interceptions in the loss to the Giants, but remains the starter ahead of Beathard.PROLIFIC NUMBERSTampa Bay has the NFL’s top-ranked passing attack (374.6 yards per game) and leads the league in total offense (458.5). Turnovers and a porous defense have hindered the team’s success. The Bucs have a NFL-worst turnover differential of minus-23. The defense is yielding a league-high 32.9 points per game.SOMETHING HAS TO GIVEThe Bucs have been giving the ball away at a staggering rate with their 29 turnovers tied for the most through 10 games since 2012. They face a 49ers team that has generated only five takeaways, the fewest in the league through 10 games since at least 2000. One of these teams should be able to fix that problem at least for one week on Sunday.

Darryl Johnson Jersey Draft

So long Darryl Johnson Jersey Draft , Jake Fisher and Keith Ford."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNewsTransactionsBuffalo Bills sign four players, cut two in roster shuffleNew,67commentsSo long, Jake Fisher and Keith Ford.EDTShareTweetShareShareBuffalo Bills sign four players, cut two in roster shuffleFollowing their rookie minicamp, and on the heels of signing veteran tight end Lee Smith, the Buffalo Bills announced four undrafted free-agent signings and two player cuts to set up their 91-man roster ahead of Organized Team Activities. Here’s the need-to-know about the four newest members of the Bills:Quindarius Thagard, DT, UABThe 6’2” 287-lb Thagard had a 5.19 40-yard dash, 22 bench press reps, and a 30” vertical jump at his pro day. In two seasons at UAB, he had 61 tackles, 9.5 TFLs Darryl Johnson NFL Jersey , and four sacks. Thagard, who majored in criminal justice, was working as a correctional officer before his rookie minicamp performance earned him a contract.Garrett McGhin, OL, East CarolinaMcGhin developed from a special-teams blocker to a starting offensive lineman at ECU. The team captain started at left guard, center, right guard, and right tackle during his career with the Pirates. At 6’6” and 302 lbs, McGhin definitely fits the positional versatility mold Brandon Beane seeks.Moral Stephens, TE, FloridaThe Stephens signing was announced a little earlier than the others. A reserve tight end and special-teams contributor, Stephens finished his Florida career with 15 catches for 261 yards and three touchdowns.Abraham Wallace, S Darryl Johnson NFL Draft , West AlabamaAt 5’10” and 205 lbs, Wallace could potentially slot in as a safety or slot defender for the Bills. He ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at his pro day. Wallace originally played at LSU, who brought him onto their team despite an ACL tear in high school. That ACL injury didn’t heal well the first time, and a second surgery would result in Wallace losing his first two seasons on the field. Wallace played special teams as a redshirt sophomore, graduated and transferred to Texas Tech, but an ankle injury robbed him of a chance to start. He finally played a full season after transferring to D-2 West Alabama.On the other end of the equation, the Bills made two roster cuts to open space for these rookies. The first cut was Jake Fisher. Originally an offensive tackle, Fisher planned to convert to tight end and signed a one-year, $805,000 deal with the Bills to attempt that. Smith’s signing cancelled that experiment. Keith Ford is the other player to get the axe. An undrafted free agent from Texas A&M in 2018, Ford appeared in two games with the Bills, notching 21 carries for 79 yards (3.8 yards per attempt). Between LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore Darryl Johnson Buffalo Bills Jersey , rookie Devin Singletary, and other options like Marcus Murphy and Christian Wade, the Bills decided Ford didn’t fit onto the roster anymore. An undrafted free agent who was cut in the middle of the season, Foster came back and showed real upside thanks to his deep-threat ability" OpinionBuffalo Bills Salary CapBuffalo Bills’ best contract values of 2018: Robert FosterNew,49commentsAn undrafted free agent who was cut in the middle of the season, Foster came back and showed real upside thanks to his deep-threat abilityEDTAs an undrafted free agent out of Alabama, Robert Foster was thought to be just a camp body because of his connection to Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Foster was overlooked and overshadowed by the plethora of talented receivers who play for the Crimson Tide and his production as a four-year player wasn't remarkable. The Bills appear to have found a steal in Foster. But it didn’t appear that way in the beginning—with the wide receiver tallying only two catches for 30 yards (all in one game) over the first half of the season. Buffalo waived Foster and then brought him back to the practice squad in Week 7. Finally a part of the active roster again the following week, Foster quickly created a connection with Josh Allen—in fact, over 75% of his production came in the last six games of the season. As noted in a piece about Robert Forster by the Bills’ official website: “Foster led the NFL in yards per catch with an average of 20.0 (minimum 25 receptions). The next four receivers on that list were DeSean Jackson, Josh Gordon, Mike Evans and Dante Pettis.He was the only NFL rookie with three 100-yard receiving games in 2018, putting him in a group with JuJu Smith-Schuster (3 in 2017), Michael Thomas (3 in 2016) and Amari Cooper (5 in 2015) as the only NFL players since 2015 to record three 100-yard games in their rookie season.”For the entire season Youth Shaq Lawson Jerseys , Foster had 27 catches for 541 yards and six touchdowns. Foster was the team’s second-leading receiver next to Zay Jones. In terms of production per snap, Foster was the number-one target. Foster only played 450 (42.5%) snaps to Jones’s 941 (88.9%) according to Pro Football Reference. Foster’s cap hit in 2018 was a whopping $225,880. For an undrafted receiver who was highly productive with a limited amount of snaps, Foster’s elite level of play over the final seven games of last season and his low cap number makes him the second-best salary-cap value on the Bills’ roster for the 2018 season.

Plays that tell the story of Friday’s victory by the Giants

liny — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 06:50:50 +0000

over the Jets Let’s take a look back at some of the plays that tell various parts of the story of the New York Giants’ 22-16 victory over the New York Jets on Friday night in NFL preseason action. They aren’t in any particular order.Curtis Riley takes a bad angleRiley Womens Christopher Slayton Jersey , an obscure free agent pickup from the Tennessee Titans, has emerged as the Giants likely starter at free safety. Unless, of course, there is an unexpected roster move that shuffles that position. The play below doesn’t inspire confidence.This is the 10-yard first-quarter touchdown run by Bilal Powell of the Jets. Riley is lined up at safety near the goal line on the left hash. He reads and reacts to the play beautifully, but can’t make the stop. To my eyes, that’s because he is too eager, too aggressive. He tries to go under slot corner B.W. Webb for the big play and can’t get there. If he goes over, or behind, Webb he probably stops Powell somewhere around the 7-yard line.The best thing about Riley’s play so far this preseason is that he has barely been noticed. Here, I noticed him in a way that wasn’t positive.Overall, coach Pat Shurmur thought Riley “did a nice job” vs. the Jets. Shurmur also noted that the hamstring injury suffered by Darian Thompson, Riley’s primary competition at free safety Color Rush Julian Love Jersey , is “really lingering.”Hunter Sharp’s 55-yard punt returnThere are sooo many good things to talk about on this play it’s hard to know where to begin. Let’s start by actually looking at the play again.The first thing about this play is something the GIF doesn’t actually show. At what would be the bottom of the screen, the direction in which Sharp returned the punt, Michael Thomas and Eli Apple take the Jets gunner out of the play. On film, you see the gunner try to take an inside release. Apple and Thomas go with it, and ride him clear across to the other side of the field. That caves in everything to Sharp’s right, and starts the big play.Next, at the top of the screen Janoris Jenkins does a great job keeping a Jet off Sharp and an unidentifiable Giant at the bottom niftily avoids a blocking in the back penalty. Sharp’s teammates plow the road down the right side with Ray-Ray Armstrong (55) leveling a Jet and Russell Shepard driving Jets punter Lachlan Edwards to the turf.When is the last time the Giants blocked a return this well?Oh, and Sharp’s stiff-arm is pretty cool, too.B.W. Webb gives up a scoreWebb played the first half and continues to look as though he will be the starting slot cornerback. Here, though, he loses a 1-on-1 matchup with Terrelle Pryor and surrenders a touchdown.In the slot at the bottom of the screen you can see Webb matched up with Pryor. At the top of Pryor’s shallow crossing route you can see that he gets his hand on Webb and creates separation. Webb is in chase mode immediately and never has a chance. In live action, this looked like a blown coverage by linebacker B.J. Goodson. It wasn’t Youth Julian Love Jersey , though, as the linebacker tried in vain to bail Webb out.Slot corner continues to be a concern. Donte Deayon played much of the second half in that spot as he returned from injury. Oh my, OmamehThis play turned into a 5-yard loss for Wayne Gallman.I might be right here and I might not be, but what I see as the primary problem on this play is a missed block by right guard Patrick Omameh. Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams is lined up over Giants center Jon Halapio, but on this play Halapio pulls and it appears to be Omameh’s job to get to Williams. He can’t get there quickly enough, allowing Williams to get into the backfield and blow up the play.There has been some speculation, even amongst writers here at Big Blue View, that Omameh could be playing himself out of a starting job. There has been no indication that is the case, though, when it comes to practice or game reps. Using Eli’s wheelsManning, especially at 37, will never be known for his fleet feet. That Womens Julian Love Jersey , however, doesn’t mean the Giants can’t move him around like they do on the play below.I chose to highlight this as a play worth mentioning because it shows a couple of things that haven’t been used enough in recent years — play action and moving the pocket so Manning isn’t a stationary target. Manning has always excelled at play action, which was a staple of his success back in the Kevin Gilbride era.“I believe that every quarterback needs to use his legs to some degree. I think if you do enough other things well on offense, and I do believe that you have to move the launch point for the throws which sometimes means the play action game or moving the pocket, so I believe in that and I do believe that any quarterback can do it to some degree,” Shurmur said. “Eli moves around well enough where he can execute some of that stuff.”This play is also impressive because it is Manning moving left and then re-setting himself and delivering a strike. When is the last time we’ve seen the Giants move Manning in this fashion? Whenever it was, it was too long ago.This play also allows me to segue into this from Brian Baldinger:NOTE: Hopefully, we will do more of these when time permits during the season.

EDTShareTweetShareShareTop 10 Patriots Draft Fits #2: Mississippi State EDGE Montez SweatBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThe Patriots edge rusher position is about in similar shape to the DT postion. The team has veterans and rotation players manning the position, but could use an infusion of young talent at the position. The Patriots attempted to add Derek Rivers to the position two years ago, but it hasn’t worked out so far due to an ACL injury suffered in Rivers’ rookie year. The team also has Keionta Davis, who saw less and less time on the field further down the season. The team could very well stick with their approach of picking up mid-round plug and play guys who had moderate ceilings as it’s worked in the past. However there is one prospect at the position that could be an intriguing add in the first round, it’s Montez Sweat from Mississippi State.Combine DataHeight: 6’6”Weight: 260Arm: 35 3/4”Hand: 10 1/2”40: 4.41225-lb Bench Reps: 21Vertical: 36”Broad Jump: 10’5”5-10-5 Shuttle: 4.293-Cone: 7.00StrengthsPrototypical size and length for the positionElite SEC productionPlug and play starterAdept hand fighterBends around the edge wellContains mobile QBs in the pocketAthletic enough to drop into coverage when askedWeaknessesReportedly has heart condition that’s given teams concernsWill need to add muscle weight to his frame to be sturdier vs. runPad level and leverage at times will be an issueWhy the Patriots Will Draft HimThe team does not need a starter at the position, but given the depth at the position of moderate ceiling players the team should not be afraid to take Sweat if he falls out of the Top 20. Sweat has ideal measurables for an edge rusher and is athletic enough to drop into coverage. From a scheme standpoint Color Rush Joejuan Williams Jersey , Sweat can fit both a stand-up rusher role in a 3-4 or a hand-in-the-dirt linemen in a 4-3. The Patriots typically like to have edge guys who fit both schemes to disguise their ability to rush the QB. There is some upside in the kicking game as Sweat would be on the FG block unit, an edge blocker on FG unit (like Chandler Jones), as well as kick/punt coverage. The 4-down upside is something the Patriots should consider when thinking about a trade up or picking even at 32.Why the Patriots Will Not Draft HimSweat has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a heart condition in which the heart is abnormally thick. The problem is not believed to be as severe as the case with Maurice Hurst went from Top 15 prospect to a 5th round pick. Some teams have taken Sweat off their draft boards, and I have zero idea if the Patriots are one of those teams. Sweat was allowed to work out at the combine vs. Hurst, who was shut down. The problem has not affected him in his Mississippi State career. The only other issue is a checkered off-the-field list from his days at Michigan State that had him kicked out of the program. The Patriots took a chance on J.C. Jackson last season, so I don’t believe that will disqualify him as a fit with New England. The other major reason is he simply won’t be available. Teams sitting in the late teens and early 20s might be salivating to draft a player of his talent and possibly execute a trade to get a player with DPOY upside. Who He Has to Beat Out: Derek Rivers Youth Joejuan Williams Jersey , Keionta DavisRookie Year ProjectionSweat would start out 3rd in the rotation behind Michael Bennett and Deatrich Wise Jr. The Patriots would try to get him on the field on special teams and as a designated pass rusher on passing downs. Sweat’s pass rushing upside already makes him capable of being a quality contributor as a rookie on the defensive front with more upside to be had in future years. Sweat will require a bit of time in the weight room to bulk up from 260 to 270 to be sturdier on the edge vs. the run although he’s not a liability in that area either. Long Term ProjectionSweat would be the highest upside pass rusher the Patriots added since drafting Chandler Jones 21st overall in 2012. By the end of Year 2, Sweat will become the top edge rusher in the defense and the key matchup weapon against the weakness of the opposing OL. I’m curious to see if he can rush inside, not necessarily with his hand in the dirt, similar to how the Patriots utilized Dont’a Hightower and Kyle Van Noy in the Super Bowl. Against run formations and personnel, Sweat would play exclusively on the edge.Grade: 5/5 StarterRound: 1stIf Sweat makes it past the 20th pick, the Patriots have to consider a potential trade up to land a potential game-changing talent to the defense. Sweat is a player with Top 10 measurables and tape Womens Joejuan Williams Jersey , and would otherwise be a Top 10 pick if not for the heart condition. While the Patriots are not starving for a starter, they could certainly upgrade a position that has a need 2 years down the road. The 5th year option would give the Patriots 5 years of cost control for a potential elite player.Week 2 Patriots vs Jaguars inactives: Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead active, Derek Rivers a healthy scratch once again In a little more than 90 minutes, the New England Patriots will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in what is a battle between two teams projected to again be among the AFC’s best this year. Today’s matchup could therefore very well have serious playoff implications further down the line. For now, however, it’s just two teams looking to go 2-0 – and they will try to do so without the following players:Patriots inactivesMarcus Cannon and Keion Crossen being inactive was already announced by the team yesterday Authentic Joejuan Williams Jersey , after both players were listed as questionable on Friday’s final injury report. The duo is joined by five men – all five of them being healthy scratches: recently added Corey Coleman and Kenjon Barner will be out, as will be depth offensive lineman Brian Schwenke. Cornerback J.C. Jackson and Derek Rivers are also not active for the second straight week.Two players not listed above are running backs Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead: both will be active today after also being listed as questionable on Friday. Furthermore, tight end Jacob Hollister will make his 2018 debut as the Patriots’ number two receiving tight end behind Rob Gronkowski.Jaguars inactivesThe Jaguars’ best offensive player – running back Leonard Fournette – will indeed miss today’s game because of a hamstring injury. This means that T.J. Yeldon, who is dealing with an ankle issue himself, and Corey Grant will carry the load on the ground this week. More pressure will also be put on quarterback Blake Bortles.

K. MetcalfWR Ole Miss New,43commentsA Fast, Tall Adonis with elite skillsESTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Draft Prospect D. K. MetcalfWR Ole Miss Matt Bush-USA TODAY SportsD.K. Metcalf,6’ 4” 230 lbs,WROle Miss#14D.K. (DeKaylin Zecharius) Metcalfis a towering WR with elite traits that have many scouts drooling with dreams of drafting him for their team.While Metcalf has out of this world talent, he comes with some questions as well.D.K. comes from a long line offootball professionals, he almost seemed destined to play in the NFL.D.K.’s father is Terrance Metcalf, who was an All-American at Ole Miss and played 7 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Chicago Bears.D.K.’s grandfather Terry Metcalf played 6 seasons in the NFL, 5 of which were with the St. Louis Cardinals.D.K.’s uncle Eric Metcalf (his dad’s brother) was a three time Pro Bowl RB/WR/KR and played 13 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Cleveland Browns and the San Diego Chargers. Let’s start with the good about Metcalf. He is tall with good feet (not great feet) which are above average for a tall receiver.He is fast, very fast, which also is above average for a tall receiver.Some taller receivers need an airport runway to get up to speed; Metcalf does not.Metcalf has elite acceleration for a tall receiver.From a dead stop or after a reception Metcalf gets up to full speed in just a few steps which is outstanding.Here is an example.For some reason he decides to slow play it off the line but Metcalf takes three steps, chucks the defender to get an inside release, then he is gone.It was man against child in this play as once he gets by the CB can’t even get close enough to interfere with him.Now to be fair this route was run against a redshirt freshman corner who was the 88th ranked CB in 2015 coming out of high school. Why the defensive coordinator wants to put him on an island when he is overmatched physically is beyond reason.This also was only the second play of the game; it took all of 33 seconds to score against Texas Tech. Of course you could ask the same thing of Nick Saban on why he has Saivion Smith locked in press coverage against Metcalf; this was the first play of the game.I think Nick Saban is the second best all around football coach in the world and a top five DB coach but this was an overestimation of Smith’s abilities.Smith is fast but he is poor in press coverage and is more of a zone corner.Metcalf’s release is again puzzling as he uses three steps that go nowhere, he then (again) just chucks the CB and blows by him leaving Smith in the dust.This is the elite acceleration I was describing; long legged receivers are not supposed to have this type of ability. This is Calvin Johnson-esque. These next two plays come about 40 seconds of game time apart and show the difficulty in trying to cover Metcalf with a mediocre corner.The first play is a poorly run “in” route that Metcalf lets fade upfield. Metcalf succeeds on this play because he sprints off the line like he is running a “9” route.This is how you teach a player to come off the line on an “in” route; shoulders over knees; nicely done.The corner has to bail and Metcalf plays catch with the QB for 10 yards and a first down.He is playing against Lonnie Johnson, who is 6’ 3” and is poor in man coverage, but makes up for it by being even worse in press coverage.Johnson is a text book cover 3 corner but Kentucky used him in off coverage man on this play because he is a big CB.Since off coverage didn’t work the first play Kentucky uses press coverage against Metcalf.You can almost see the QB drooling when he observes Metcalf covered one on one, as he gives the cursory play fake, a real quick look to hold the safety and then bombs away to a wide open Metcalf.Johnson gives a great demonstration on how not to play press coverage as he can barely stay in front of Metcalf at the snap then tries to impede him while falling backwards. It didn’t work.Metcalf shows better footwork off the line as he takes two steps left then crosses the face of Johnson with open field in front of him.Metcalf is at about full speed three steps after going by Johnson which is fantastic. This next play I think is the best play Metcalf has made in his career thus far.It is again against our buddy Lonnie Johnson but Lonnie actually does a decent job of coverage mainly because he has very little area to cover.This play is for the game as Ole Miss is down by 4 with 10 seconds remaining no time outs on the 7 yard line. Metcalf does about as good a job on this play as he can.This is a fade to the corner and Metcalf gets a quick outside release and gains an advantage on Johnson.Metcalf races to the mid portion of the end zone, giving himself room to stay in bounds if he should need to jump.He then looks back, gets his body turned so he is square to the QB, then goes up strong with two hands to snare the ball.Johnson gets his hand in between Metcalf’s arms but Metcalf gets one foot in bounds then pulls the ball away with one hand (away from danger) and maintains control.You could not make this play any better against this coverage. This is the type of red zone play that coaches will want to use Metcalf on numerous times in the NFL.I think D.K. Metcalf is a tremendous talent and could develop into an outstanding receiver in years to come.He has the ability to be an All-Pro receiver; the problem is he is not even close yet.Metcalf has played three years of college football and had severe injuries (foot and neck) that ended two of those three years.Those are two of the worst injuries a WR can have; the medicals at the combine will need to be gone over with a fine toothed comb.Certain foot injuries (especially in larger players) can be a recurring problem. Neck injuries can have the same problem of recurrence. Metcalf has never caught 40 receptions or had 650 yards receiving in a year even while playing in 12 games in 2017.The hype surrounding this kid is amazing and even legitimate well known sports sites are pushing the envelope of hyperbole. This is actually written in a scouting report:Those two touchdowns he mentions covered a total of 13 yards.The 39 catches he mentions means he averaged 3.25 catches a game in 2017 which is better than his career college average of 3.2 receptions a game.Metcalf also drops a lot of balls. In 2017 in 12 games he was targeted 79 times with 39 receptions which is a 49.37% catch percentage.For a huge star who supposedly carries a team Metcalf had only 16.32% of the targets on his team.He was 12th in the SEC in targets but 4th on his own team in receptions. Van Jefferson had more receptions than Metcalf with only 57 targets and he transferred to Florida after 2017. Metcalf runs a very small route tree and is always outside which makes it easier to use different types of blanket coverages.Players rarely make huge jumps in production from their college stats into the pro game; it happens but it is rare.How dominant is a player who has the 4th most receptions on his own team? Also from the same article:Here are the two scores he talked about.They are decent plays but look at the scores of the game, you have no idea which players were in the game with Ole Miss getting destroyed like that.In that game he had 4 receptions for 28 yards with the 2 TDs so he wasn’t a difference maker in that game.Those 2 TDs account for over 25% of his TDs for the year.This game was Metcalf’s best of the year as he accounted for 125 yards receiving and a TD on 3 receptions against Cal.You see once Metcalf gets by his man he is more comfortable making the catch.He will need to make more contested catches in the NFL, something he struggled with at times in college.The same game but Cal switched a 5’10 corner with better cover skills against him.I read numerous scouting reports about how great Metcalf is on getting off the line.This get off is called the cha cha and NFL WR coaches will not like it.You can’t work in a timed passing offense if you do a dance before you run your route.I see this a lot with Metcalf; the reason he gets away from press coverage is usually his physical skills.He will need to work on footwork against press coverage in the NFL.This next play is a wide open drop which hits him in the hands in that same Cal game that they lost by 11 points.His defender decided not to press him so he got an untouched release.This ball is on the money; all receivers drop balls but when you have only 3 receptions a game and a catch rate of less than 50% your QB may stop throwing the ball your way.You have to make the plays that can be made in the NFL. If not you will be sitting next to the coach while someone else plays.This next clip is of a player who decides to get physical with Metcalf.Most of the clips of his highlights Metcalf was almost untouched as he leaves the LOS.This is the type of coverage Metcalf will see in the NFL.You can chalk this play up as a nice play by the corner.The corner is Henry Toliver who ran 4.63/40 at the combine and had a SPARQ score of 6%.He had a cup of coffee with the Colts in training camp and is bagging groceries now.He will probably make a camp this summer but he doesn’t have NFL skills to last in the league.A Calvin Johnson type player should not be handled by a much lesser talent, let alone a guy who could not make it in the NFL.This last clip is of an LSU game that Metcalf was covered like a blanket.The corner wasn’t Greedy Williams covering Metcalf, it was Kevin Toliver.Metcalf had 1 reception in this game for 15 yards and gave up that dropped catch for an INT. A few bad games would be OK if you had 4 years of great production but Metcalf has played in only 21 college games and has never had great production. I really like Metcalf and think he can have a bright future in the NFL.I would still take him late in the 1st round, he is that good a talent, but you can’t miss with a #3 overall pick, that would be devastating.One thing to remember is I did a post two years ago and showed that of all the WRs drafted in the 1st round of the draft between 2000 and 2009 there were 42 1st round selections54.7% were either a Bust or a Mega BustBust) 16 = 38%Almost a bust, almost a player) 5 = 12%Player) 4 = 9.5%Star) 6 = 14.3%Mega Bust) 7 = 16.7%Mega Star) 4 = 9.5%You take your chances with a high 1st round WR. Again this was not meant to burst anyone’s bubble on their favorite player in the draft.I just recommend we just pump the brakes a little before we go wild with expectations.

The idea here is to build a generic Big Board reflecting the community’s view of this year’s draft class regardless of the Jets’ (or any other team’s) particular needs. So for instance, the Jets do not need a QB this year, but that should not prevent you from placing a QB high on the Big Board. Each day we will close the previous day’s poll and the candidate with the most votes will be added to the GGN Big Board. In the event of a tie vote the tie will be broken by surname in alphabetical order. By the time the draft rolls around we should have enough players on our Big Board to cover two rounds of the draft.In the event I have made an egregious omission and a name you think should be on the poll is not there you can write in candidates in the comments section. If a player gets support in the comments section I’ll add him to the next day’s poll.Try not to get overly frustrated if your guy isn’t being voted to the top of the board. We all have different views and what we’re looking for here is a composite of the best players in the community’s collective mind. Your views may or may not coincide with the community’s, and either way that’s OK.So let’s get to it. Today we vote for the #61 prospect on the 2019 crowd sourced GGN Big Board. Who will it be? Vote early, vote often, and let’s hear who you think are the best players in this draft.

Joe Montana Jersey

SANTA CLARA Joe Montana Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Aaron Donald ripped the ball out of Matt Breida’s hands to set up one touchdown. He harassed C.J. Beathard with four sacks and several other hits that helped shut down San Francisco’s offense.Donald’s dominance helped improve Los Angeles to 7-0 for the first time since 1985 with a 39-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and showed that the defense can play as big a role in the success as the Rams’ high-powered offense.“I don’t think there’s anybody that’s been like him in the NFL,” 49ers left tackle Joe Staley said. “He’s in a class of his own. At the end of the day, he’s still an NFL player and our job is to block him. He was really impactful today.”That’s an understatement.Donald used his brute strength to set up one of Todd Gurley’s three touchdowns with his fumble recovery in the first half for the Rams and got a couple of his sacks by just pushing offensive linemen into Beathard and knocking him down.After recording no sacks in his first three games following a training camp holdout, Donald now has eight in the past four games, showing why he earned that $135 million, six-year contract this summer.“You feel him and he did a great job affecting and influencing the game in a variety of ways,” coach Sean McVay said. “He was great against the run, did a good job of being able to get to Beathard on a handful of occasions. But, our defense overall, Aaron was a big part of that.”Donald had plenty of help on defense with Cory Littleton getting two sacks and a blocked punt for a safety ; Troy Hill and John Johnson III intercepting passes; and Samson Ebukam getting an early strip sack that Trevon Young recovered.“One of the best defensive performances I’ve been around,” Rams quarterback Jared Goff said. “It seemed like every time we sat down we got back up and went on the field. … It was just a lot of fun to watch.”Here are some other takeaways from the game:GURLEY’S DAYGurley ran for 63 yards, caught four passes for 23 and had his third three-touchdown game of the season. His 14 TDs this season tie Priest Holmes (2002, ’04) for the most through seven games in the Super Bowl era. His most memorable score was his last one when Goff somehow found him through traffic on a cross-field screen pass and Gurley broke a tackle from Reuben Foster and raced in for the 12-yard score .“It didn’t play out quite the way we wanted it to,” Goff said. “That’s just me and him trying to make a play. He’s a great player, try to get him the ball and he made it work.”TURN IT OVERIt’s hard to determine whether the 49ers are worse at creating turnovers or committing them. San Francisco ranks last in the league with three takeaways through seven games — tied for the fewest at this point in the season since the 1970 merger — and has committed the most with 18. The Niners have committed 14 turnovers since their last takeaway on Sept. 30 against the Chargers. Beathard has thrown seven interceptions and lost three fumbles in four starts.“It’s inexcusable,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It’s impossible to win in this league when you turn the ball over like we are and you when don’t get any.”LOOKING AHEADThe Rams barely had time to celebrate this victory before fielding questions about what comes next. Los Angeles is starting a tough four-week stretch that starts with a home game against Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay next week, followed by a trip to New Orleans to face Drew Brees and the Saints Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey White , a home game against Seattle, then a game in Mexico City against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City.“I think we just have to keep building off of today’s game,” cornerback Troy Hill said. “It’s one of those things that we’ve been waiting for, and so now we just have to keep on stringing it together.”BREIDA’S HEALTHBreida has shown good sparks as the team’s main running back with 445 yards rushing and an NFL-best 6.5 yards per carry. But the second-year back has struggled to stay healthy as he has been hampered by shoulder, knee and ankle injuries. He was limited to five carries against the Rams after rolling his ankle but might need some time off to fully heal.“I tried to keep on playing,” he said. “I have to be smart and not hurt my team at the same time. If I can’t go out there and go 100 percent, I have to let the guys that can do it.”Golden Nuggets: Injury Report Blues Good morning folks, the second week of the 2018 NFL season kicks off tonight with a divisional matchup between the Ravens and the Bengals. Both teams are coming off week 1 victories that showcased their offensive abilities, but, as usual, the Ravens’ defense seems to have the edge after a stifling performance against the Bills. How much of that was due to the Bills’ ineptitude on offense is yet to be seen, but Baltimore’s ability to harass the quarterback looks to be impressive.As for the 49ers, injury woes have highlighted the week thus far. After reverting to the 49ers’ injured reserve list as part of final cuts, Aaron Burbridge has been officially released by the 49ers with an injury settlement. The veteran wide receiver and special teams contributor is now a free agent, and, unfortunately, I can’t imagine his prospects are too great as of this moment. Speaking of IR Jerry Rice Jersey White , linebacker Brock Coyle has been added to the list following a week 1 impact that left him with a concussion and a broken bone in his back. The team made a corresponding roster move by signing journeyman veteran Terence Garvin, who made three starts last year with the Seattle Seahawks at the linebacker position. Over his previous 5 years in the league, he’s seen a fair amount of special teams work, but a relatively small amount of actual defensive work - however, he does have experience as an inside and outside linebacker, which seems to create some value to having him on the roster, as the entire OLB depth chart is currently Mark Nzeocha. Guards Mike Person and Joshua Garnett continue to sit out with foot injuries, which means, to me, that there may be an outside chance that Najee Toran, an undrafted rookie who was called up from the practice squad this week, may see some game action against the Lions. Malcolm Smith continues to sit out with an injury he sustained early in the preseason - continuing his streak of not producing anything for the 49ers.On the perimeters, Adrian Colbert sat Wednesday’s practice out with a hamstring issue, and fellow defenders Jaquiski Tartt, K’Waun Williams, and Ahkello Witherspoon were all listed as “limited” with various ailments. Speedster Marquise Goodwin has continued to sit with a thigh injury, and his availability for Sunday’s home game against the Lions is looking less and less likely.Injury list for Lions week | Maiocco Tom Rathman Jersey , NBC Sports Bay Area | Biderman, Sac Bee | Madson, NinerswireBrock Coyle to IR, corresponding LB signing | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Montero, KNBR | Biderman, Sac Bee | Wagoner, ESPN | Madson, KNBR | Madson (2), KNBRAaron Burbridge released | Madson, NinerswireJimmy Garoppolo on being scared | KNBR Staff | Biderman, Sac BeeKyle Shanahan, Garoppolo emphasizing red-zone efficiency | Almquist, KNBR | Biderman, Sac Bee

In it, Kadar has the Buffalo Bills and general manager Brandon Beane deciding to strengthen the team’s trenches with the combination of a pass rushing defensive tackle in the first round and a dominant run-blocking guard in the second. Grif’s take:Upgrading the offensive and defensive lines are always solid strategies around draft time. I don’t take issue with the strategy, I object to the tactics. With three defensive tackles going in the first round http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-ryan-groy-jersey , taking the player he considers to be fourth-best, is a reach. Kadar admits as much in his write-up. With offensive linemen Jawaan Taylor and Cody Ford still on the board, targeting the offensive line in the first round may have been the better way to go. As for the players, Lindstrom is very-much deserving of pick 40 Eddie Yarbrough Jerseys 2019 , while Wilkins’s upside is somewhat limited given that he’s a four-year starter at Clemson and will be 24 during his rookie season. Additionally, there are still questions about his ability to stand up to defensive lines at the point of attack.
