All of which has helped the Texans turn around their season and leave them one win from clinching the AFC South.His latest great grab came on in the fourth quarter on Saturday on a 14-yard reception that was the go-ahead score in Houston’s 29-22 win over the Jets. New York cornerback Morris Claiborne stayed with Hopkins throughout that route and even got an arm between his on the play. But Hopkins was still able to come down with the ball.“I felt like as good as I played it from the line of scrimmage it was perfect,” Claiborne said. “When you get perfect coverage like that from the line of scrimmage all the way to the end zone and guys come up with those type of balls, you take your hat off to them.”After the play Hopkins said Claiborne looked at him and said: ‘Man I don’t know how you caught it.’It’s a sentiment Hopkins hears often and said top defensive backs such as Patrick Peterson and Jalen Ramsey have said similar things after some of his catches.Hopkins is a favorite target of second-year quarterback Deshaun Watson and he raved about his ability to catch most anything thrown his way.“I try to be as perfect as I can, but for him, he just says: ‘just get it in his area, he’s going to come down with it,'” Watson said. “That’s what I try to do, just throw it in his catch-radius, and majority of the time he’s going to take it down. It helps me out big time.”Hopkins has reached 1,300 yards receiving for the second straight year and the third time in his career Nick Martin Jersey , and his 1,321 yards rank third in the NFL. He has 11 touchdown receptions, which are tied for the second most in his career behind the 13 he grabbed last season.Though he’s happy about his success, he’s far more excited about how the team is doing, with the Texans winning 10 of their past 11 games after a 0-3 start.“If I had 50 catches and 500 yards I would feel like this is my best season because my team is in this position to do more than we’ve ever done before,” he said. “So for me team success first.”And despite his success, Hopkins never stops striving to improve. He admits to watching footage of his work, but said that he also devotes a good chunk of time to viewing catches made by former Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, whom he refers to by his nickname “Megatron.”“I watch my highlights a lot, but I watch Megatron highlights too just because he made great catches like that,” Hopkins said. “It motivates me before the games just seeing a great dude go out there and just do it effortlessly.”During these film sessions Hopkins not only watches his big catches, he also dissects the catches that he didn’t make.“I always feel like I can be better. I feel like I can do better,” he said. “I feel like I can make better catches.”Hopkins is a very confident player, but he’s careful not to sound boastful. No matter what players do to try and slow him down he puts pressure on himself to do more to come away with the catch.“I’ve been stopped before from making those catches or I might have stopped myself sometimes,” he said. “So I feel like it’s me more so than the defender. That’s just like the role that I put on myself and the pressure Cullen Gillaspia Houston Texans Jersey , no matter what DB is out there it’s my ball. I don’t want to say a DB can’t guard me, but I still feel like I can catch it.”Houston cornerback Johnathan Joseph, a 13-year NFL veteran, has covered Hopkins for years in practice and shakes his head when asked what someone can do to keep him from making a catch.“You can’t do anything,” Joseph said. “He’s an exceptional talent. He’s got rare hand-eye coordination to catch the ball so … it’s one of those things that in the game it’s almost impossible.”Hopkins has been making nifty catches throughout his six-year NFL career, which often leads him to be asked which one is his favorite. Because he’s always outdoing himself, the answer often changes and on Thursday it took him a few seconds to come up with an answer.He exhaled sharply and rubbed his long and lean hands together for a bit before coming to a conclusion.“The Dolphins catch between the legs,” he finally said. “I’m going to go with that.”That catch came earlier this season when he reached back and grabbed the ball with one hand and weaved it between his legs in the air before crashing to the ground. But it actually wasn’t a catch at all because he was called for pass interference.Despite not counting, that play was the talk of the locker room after the win and had many of his teammates wondering, as they often do, how he possibly came down with it.While he wows teammates and defenders alike with such feats as that non-catch and his huge grab last week, does he still get excited when he makes plays like that or is it simply another day at the office for the 26 year old?“Sometimes I surprise myself, just like darn I did that? (But) I feel like just go out and be better and do more,” he said.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74190/justin-mccray-jersey Thu, 08 Aug 2019 03:55:19 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74190/justin-mccray-jersey Aaron Rodgers throws passes to Jordy Nelson during warmups of Packers-Raiders Is somebody cutting onions?The Green Bay Packers are in Oakland to play the Raiders in a preseason game Friday evening Bryan Bulaga Jersey White , but this is no ordinary exhibition contest.

EDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL mock draft: Listen to the complete SB Nation mock Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY SportsIf you’re a subscriber to the PODcast or just an observant reader of Pride of Detroit, you may notice that there’s a new episode that dropped on Tuesday morning entitled “SPECIAL: 2019 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft.” Our friends over at the mothership put together an awesome mock draft episode where site managers for all the teams with a first-round pick in this year’s draft made appearances to make their selections for the team they represented.As you may remember, I selected Brian Burns with the eighth overall pick for the Detroit Lions. You can read my rationale, and we devoted an entire podcast to it, which you can listen to here. I make a brief appearance on this SB Nation podcast, as well, briefly touching on some of the players I considered and why I think Burns could transform the Lions’ defense completely. But this episode provides a nice background into what the other 31 picks could be and what why those teams may go in that direction.Give it a listen below (or click here): The Detroit Lions surprised everyone on Wednesday afternoon, hiring former Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell as their next play-caller. Bevell wasn’t really on anyone’s radar, seeing as he took the 2018 season off following his firing from the Seahawks in 2017. There has already been a wide range of emotions from the Lions fanbase regarding the hiring, so here are my quick thoughts.ExperienceIf you were hoping for the Lions to take a chance on an up-and-comer, that’s not what you’re getting in Bevell. What he lacks in youth and excitement, he makes up for with a long history of experience—and success. He spent every year from 2006 to 2017 as an NFL offensive coordinator, which is no easy task for any NFL coach. He was let go from the Vikings after the team moved from head coach Brad Childress to Leslie Frazier. After a couple seasons of a novice play-caller in Jim Bob Cooter, there’s some relief in knowing an experienced coach is on the way.Get ready to runBoth with the Vikings and the Seahawks White Jahlani Tavai Jersey , Bevell liked to build his offense through the run. Here’s a look at the run DVOA rankings for all the teams he coordinated:Vikings 2006: 22ndVikings 2007: 3rd Vikings 2008: 21st Vikings 2009: 23rd Vikings 2010: 8th Seahawks 2011: 14th Seahawks 2012: 1st Seahawks 2013: 7th Seahawks 2014: 1st Seahawks 2015: 3rd Seahawks 2016: 22nd Seahawks 2017: 23rdThough there were clearly some down years—partially caused by poor personnel on the offensive line—it’s clear the Bevell was most successful when his running game was on. Of course, it’s important to point out that Bevell’s greatest successes were bolstered by some of the best running backs in modern history. Adrian Peterson is just as much responsible for the rushing turnaround in Minnesota as Bevell, and Marshawn Lynch was in his prime during the Seahawks’ best rushing seasons. RB2 a high priority?Kerryon Johnson had a hell of a rookie season, but he did little to quiet one of his biggest drawbacks: durability. Having Lynch and Peterson at his disposal before, will Bevell push for a more physical back to complement Johnson? Running back was always a need for this team in 2019, but I get the feeling it just got a little more important to this team. There will still be some passingMany are likely to overreact to this hiring, saying it isn’t keeping up with a changing game that is becoming more and more oriented towards a pass-heavy, spread attack. And while it’s true the Lions aren’t completely inheriting that trend, it’s not like Bevell is afraid to air it out. With Brett Favre at his disposal in 2009, the Vikings finished eighth in passing yards, first in passing touchdowns and first in passer rating. Russell Wilson has become one of the most respected quarterbacks in the NFL thanks, in part, to Bevell’s offensive design. In 2015, they were they had the second-highest pass offense DVOA per Football Outsiders. That being said Jahlani Tavai Jersey Mens , every team but two of Bevell’s offenses have ranked in the bottom half of the league in pass-to-run ratio. The two outliers: his first and last year as coordinator. General manager Bob Quinn said he wants a balanced attack out of his new offensive coordinator. “We want to be able to run the ball, we want to be able to use our quarterback because he has a ton of talent,” Quinn said. “So, we want to be diverse.”But perhaps it was head coach Matt Patricia’s quote that was more telling about this hire.“Teams that can run the ball, stop the run, control the game towards the end of the season are really, I think, the teams that will have the most chance to win.”At least they went out-of-the-boxFor the past few weeks, I had been pleading for the Lions to go out of their comfort zone for this hire. I wanted the Lions to at least look at someone that didn’t sprout from the Patriots tree or come from Matt Patricia’s Syracuse history. It turns out there is a connection between Bevell and the Lions staff, but it’s relatively minor:Wait and seeThis is the kind of hire that doesn’t get me thrilled, but doesn’t depress me much either. I’m not one to think that there is only one way to properly build an effective offense. People seem to think if you want to have success in the NFL, you have to go the way of the Chiefs or Rams. And while recent history suggests that’s a good way to go about things, fads come and go in the NFL. For years, the Seahawks were an extremely impressive offense capable of moving the ball Kenny Golladay Jersey , scoring plenty of points, and staying on the field long enough to give their defense some rest. Just look at their overall offensive DVOA and points scored rankings during his reign:Seahawks 2011: 22nd in DVOA, 23rd in points scoredSeahawks 2012: 4th in DVOA, 9th in points scoredSeahawks 2013: 7th in DVOA, t-8th in points scoredSeahawks 2014: 5th in DVOA, 10th in points scoredSeahawks 2015: 1st in DVOA, t-4th in points scoredSeahawks 2016: 16th in DVOA, 18th in points scoredSeahawks 2017: 14th in DVOA, 11th in points scoredThis isn’t ancient history we’re talking about. This is modern day offensive success with an emphasis on running the ball. It’s still possible. It may not be how I would’ve run the team, especially with a weapon like Matthew Stafford at my disposal, but I’m willing to keep an open mind here.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74088/charles-omenihu-jersey-womens Wed, 07 Aug 2019 06:08:52 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74088/charles-omenihu-jersey-womens Even though the NFL Draft is coming up soon Color Rush Charles Omenihu Jersey , free agency is still alive." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBattle Red Bloga Houston Texans communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsTexansOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Texans StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Texans NewsYahoo Texans Team PageYahoo Texans ReportYahoo Texans Depth ChartYahoo Texans TransactionsYahoo Texans PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Filed under:2019 NFL Free Agency2019 Houston Texans Offseason2019 NFL Free Agency: New England Patriots Sign Demaryius ThomasNew,5commentsEven though the NFL Draft is coming up soon, free agency is still alive.CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Free Agency: New England Patriots Sign Demaryius ThomasBill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsLast season, the Texans traded a fourth round pick to the Broncos for Demaryius Thomas once Will Fuller V was lost for the season after tearing his ACL against the Miami Dolphins. It was a fine deal for a competent receiver and a much better option than the stale, low sodium saltines available in the cupboard. Thomas played in seven games and caught 23 passes for 237 yards for the Texans until his season ended prematurely in Philadelphia with a torn Achilles.At 31 years old, some questioned whether DT would come back to play football again Cheap Charles Omenihu Jersey , though his status in Houston wasn’t questioned; he was due $14 million to play in Houston in 2019, and there was no way the Texans were going to pay him that even if he was healthy.What happened next was a no-brainer. The Texans released him, making the veteran wideout a free agent.Thomas is in fact going to play more football, even at 31 years old and after tearing his Achilles. Yesterday, Thomas signed with the New England Patriots, where he will hang out with Julian Edelman Charles Omenihu Jersey Womens , Philip Dorsett, and maybe Josh Gordon. Even if it didn’t work out the way he and the Texans hoped, it was a decent trade Houston made bringing in Thomas. We will see him back in Houston next season when the Texans host the Patriots. I come bearing gifts."Mock drafts and free agent lust—that’s what football is for fans from now until late April as all but two teams have begun their offseasons. To coincide with this, websites are pushing out all kinds of content, sometimes infantile and squabbling. There’s mock drafts, like the ones discussed here before (and another that’ll be discussed later this afternoon). And there’s free agency information. For free agency Charles Omenihu Houston Texans Jersey , here’s a list of all the current upcoming NFL free agents for this spring according to Rotoworld. This list will change as franchise tags and roster cuts are made. It’s still the place to start if you want to see who should be available this offseason, and it’s something worth bookmarking for the entirety of free agency. For salary cap information, you can check Over The Cap and Spotrac. Both are useful in their own ways. Over The Cap is better at showing salary cap changes and projecting the future, while Spotrac is better at providing current free agent information and past contracts. Oh, and Pro Football Focus released their top 50 NFL Free Agents. They had Jadeveon Clowney ranked 6th and Tyrann Mathieu 25th. On Clowney, PFF wrote:On the Honey Badger Charles Omenihu Jersey 2019 , they had this to say:Read the whole list to see what PFF had to say about other prospective free agents, like Sheldon Richardson who would be a fine 3-4 defensive end and could actually provide something of an interior pass rush, or Tyrell Williams, who would be some nice Will Fuller V injury insurance.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74086/josh-jones-jersey-white Wed, 07 Aug 2019 03:52:45 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/74086/josh-jones-jersey-white That Aaron Rodgers did not get a final opportunity to pull off another final drive victory on Sunday was demoralizing for Green Bay Packers fans. For the Chico Womens Bart Starr Jersey , California native, it had to be just as frustrating not to be able to display two-minute heroics in front of a home-state audience that has witnessed Rodgers’ success at all levels. Even in college, Rodgers propelled a Cal Golden Bears team to a 4-2 record against intrastate rivals USC, UCLA, and Stanford during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Rodgers’ performance before he was replaced due to injury in a three-overtime win over Southern California in 2003 was during the height of the Trojan dynasty and it was USC’s only loss of the season. Although the Golden Bears lost the following year in the rematch, Rodgers still completed 85% of his 34 passes in the top-ten showdown. As a professional Dave Robinson Jersey White , Number 12 has also been reliable against California-based squads, though quarterback wins may be a debatable statistic. The Packers under Rodgers carry a 2-0 regular season record against both the Oakland Raiders and the former San Diego Chargers, while owning a 4-2 mark against the San Francisco 49ers. The Packers are also 3-1 on the road in these games with Rodgers at the helm. The Packers had a chance to move to 9-2 against teams in Rodgers’ home state with a win against the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, the team’s first matchup against the Rams since their relocation from St. Louis did not go as planned, and the Packers lost their first game versus a California opponent since September 2013 against the 49ers.Although the Packers have dropped two close playoff contests to the 49ers, the regular season marks have been remarkable for Rodgers. It was just two weeks ago that the franchise quarterback threw for 425 yards and two touchdowns as part of walk-off win over the 49ers Womens Dean Lowry Jersey , complete with an improbable Rodgers-led final scoring drive. Even with a less Earth-shattering 286 yards and single scoring strike against LA on Sunday, Rodgers’ stats against California teams are enough to win plenty of games. In the 11 regular season matchups, Rodgers has averaged 290 yards, two touchdowns, and a 105.5 quarterback rating as calculated by Pro Football Reference. Only once has Rodgers posted a rating below 93.0, while his 90-plus rating in each of his playoff losses is certainly not a shabby mark either.In many ways Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , the loss at the hands of the undefeated Rams was a tough pill to swallow. The Packers battled in a seesaw game for 58 minutes only to be eliminated by an unfathomable special teams blunder. They fell to 3-3-1 as they near the mid-season point with another difficult road contest awaiting in New England. A win over a dominant NFC foe could have been a momentum swing for Green Bay. But while the Packers took a blow to their postseason chances, Rodgers also suffered an uncommon blemish to his career track record in his home state and missed an opportunity to showcase his last-second skills once again on Fox’s America’s Game of the Week. The Packers ended up missing out on — or deciding not to offer a contract to — the young tackle."If the Green Bay Packers are interested in bringing Muhammad Willkerson back onto the team once he heals up from his broken ankle, it appears that they will have the roster space and salary cap space to do so. Recently, the team met with free agent defensive tackle Rodney Gunter, who had played with the Arizona Cardinals for the last four seasons. The 26-year-old Gunter visited Green Bay last Wednesday, but he left without a contract. Now it appears he is off the market. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter Josh Jones Jersey White , Gunter is returning to Arizona after re-signing with the Cardinals.Gunter is coming off a strong season in 2018 which saw him take over a starting job from former first-round pick Robert Nkemdiche. Playing in all 16 games, Gunter recorded 4.5 sacks and 44 total tackles, adding a pair of forced fumbles as well.With Gunter now off the market, the Packers return to planning for 2019 with Kenny Clark, Mike Daniels, and Dean Lowry as the likely starters when utilizing a three-man line. However Aaron Jones Jersey White , Wilkerson remains a possible option after losing most of 2018 to injury. The Packers also may be interested in a few defensive tackles in this year’s NFL Draft class, with Houston’s Ed Oliver looking like a possible option if he remains available when Green Bay selects at #12 overall.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73941/johnathan-joseph-jersey Mon, 05 Aug 2019 06:19:10 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73941/johnathan-joseph-jersey Matt and Luke explain why Battle Red Blog selected the LSU cornerback."It’s been sealed in blood.

It would be easy to suggest that Antonio Brown missed out on All-Pro honors because of last week’s trantrum.Or, you could look at the numbers.The Steelers wideout did not make the list, despite leading the league in touchdown receptions.聽Of course Johnathan Joseph Jersey , the other receivers named all put up better numbers in other categories.The first-team picks were Saints wideout Michael Thomas (125 receptions for 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns) and DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans (115-1,572-11).The second-team choices were Atlanta’s Julio Jones (113-1,677-8) and Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill (87-1 Charles Omenihu Houston Texans Jersey ,479-12).Thomas led the league in receptions. Jones led the league in receiving yards. All four are still involved in the playoffs, as well.Brown finished the year with 104 catches for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. That’s ninth in the league in receptions and 11th in yards, and he was behind Steelers teammate (and team MVP JuJu Smith-Schuster 111-1 Charles Omenihu Jersey 2019 ,426-7) in both categories.In terms of raw votes, Hopkins led the way, named on 46 of the 50 ballots. Thomas was next with 21, followed by Jones (17) Color Rush Charles Omenihu Jersey , Hill (6), Davante Adams (4), and then Brown and聽Adam Thielen (2).

Rodgers said questions for how that process works aren’t for him and that he tells the coaches what calls he likes after they put the plan together.Those comments led some to wonder about whether there was friction between Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy and it led to questions for McCarthy on Monday about their relationship.鈥淚 have good relationships Justin Vogel Jersey White , proper relationships, with all of our players,鈥?McCarthy said, via Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com. “Aaron and I, we have gone through a lot of years together. So I feel good about our relationship. …聽Aaron’s given a lot of responsibility Womens Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , and rightfully so. He’s earned that, at the line of scrimmage and during the preparation process. That’ll continue as it’s been for quite some time.”McCarthy said he agreed with Rodgers and “felt like we left a lot out here” offensively against the Bills. They’ll try for better results in Detroit next weekend.Cheese Curds, 8/7: Injuries are starting to affect Packers’ secondary The Green Bay Packers practiced on Monday without a few key players as the team returned from an off day following Saturday’s Family Night, and questions about the depth of the secondary in particular are beginning to bubble up. Two potential starting defensive backs missed Monday’s practice entirely, with another only participating briefly before leaving the field.At cornerback http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-demetri-goodson-jersey , each of the top draft picks from the last two years sat out. Kevin King missed practice with a shoulder injury — thankfully it was an issue with a different shoulder than the one he had surgery on several months ago — while rookie Jaire Alexander skipped on-field work due to a groin issue.Joining them on the shelf was Kentrell Brice, who actually returned to practice early on, to much rejoicing, but who was forced to leave after just a few reps. Brice was listed as the starter on the Packers’ first unofficial depth chart yesterday, but in all likelihood will split snaps with Josh Jones. Still Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey White , that makes three DBs with potential starting roles who were unable to practice or at least make it through a full practice on Monday.In today’s curds, however, we find that one of those players in particular is not concerned about sitting out on Monday, which is hopefully an indication that he will be ready to go for the preseason opener on Thursday against the Titans.Packers CB Jaire Alexander describes practice absence as precautionary | Packers WireFingers crossed that Alexander’s day off on Monday is indeed limited to a one-day rest period.

The Detroit Lions got pummeled so hard by the New York Jets on Monday night that I’m running out of verbs to describe it, and it’s only Wednesday. We may have put things off a day, but Jeremy and Chris were still heated about Monday’s embarrassment, and they don’t hold that back on this week’s podcast. We break down what went wrong in the game, the coaching controversies that have already emerged, and what it all means for the rest of the Lions’ 2018 season.Download and subscribe to the PODcast on iTunes, Stitcher or Spreaker!This week on the PODcastWhy was the offense so bad? Is it Matthew Stafford? The offensive line? Jim Bob Cooter? All of the above?The defense is bad Graham Glasgow Jersey , but we all knew that was coming. Is there any chance they won’t be bad? Looking ahead: How screwed is this team? Can they make it to the bye with a win or two or three? I continually freudian slip by calling Jim Bob Cooter “Joe Lombardi.”COACHING CONTROVERSIES: Jim Bob Cooter and Matt Patricia are already under fire. While they deserve a ton of criticism, are they being unfairly criticized for overblown issues? Would this have happened under Jim Caldwell? Jeremy and Chris disagree.Mailbag tackles jersey choices, Jeremy’s press box blunder, and EAT SOME BAGELS AND LOX, YOU HEATHENS You’d think after watching the NFL for decades now, you’d get used to seeing a letdown performance. “Any Given Sunday” is a popular slogan of the league for a reason. You constantly have to prove your worth every week of the season, and one down day can ruin the progress you’ve made in past weeks.But as the Lions entered Week 8 on a two-game winning streak Da'Shawn Hand Jersey White , it’s hard not to feel at least a little devastated from their performance against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle dominated Detroit in all three phases of the game, and just when it seemed like the Lions may work their way back into the game, Bad Stafford showed up and ruined everything. It’s just one week, and based on how this season has gone so far, we may see the Lions come out and dominate the Vikings next week, but, for now Womens Sylvester Williams Jersey , today’s Question of the Day is:Do you feel better, worse or the same after the Lions’ loss to the Seahawks?My answer: A little worse. If there’s anything I’ve learned from this season—and something we really should’ve known anyway—it’s to not overreact to one week. Admittedly, this game felt like a litmus test, and it was one the Lions thoroughly failed. But it was one performance, and the team’s identity is not defined by a single game.Are there some consistent issues to this team? Absolutely. The defense is still very bad and has been in almost every game this season. Detroit’s pass defense is statistically one of the worst in the league, and there doesn’t appear to be any relief on the way... unless you’re hoping Ziggy walks through that door and immediately returns to his 2015 self. There is still reason for optimism the run defense improves, as “Snacks” already looks like the real deal. As soon as he’s ready for full-time snaps Youth Austin Bryant Jersey , Detroit should see at least minor improvement.And while the Lions schedule looks absolutely daunting, we’ve seen them pull off some surprising upsets, and they’re just a game out of first place in the division. Unfortunately, with some of the teams they’ve lost to, I believe winning the NFC North is their only realistic path to the postseason, but I’m not counting that out yet.Your turn.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73935/womens-clint-boling-jersey Mon, 05 Aug 2019 02:01:23 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73935/womens-clint-boling-jersey Someone in Cincinnati must know exactly what Hue Jackson’s job is.But good luck getting a clear explanation from either Jackson or his boss about what it might be.“In my own words: Whatever this organization needs me to do Josh Malone Jersey White ,” Jackson said, via Fletcher Page of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Whatever Marvin thinks I need to do to help him, to help him be the best version of himself. To help whether it’s offensively, defensively or special teams, I’ll do whatever they need me to do.”Jackson’s title is special assistant to the head coach (assistant to the traveling secretary was taken), which is vague enough. When he was hired midseason in 2012, his title was secondary assistant and special teams coach.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis stammered around an answer, but seemed to make clear that Jackson’s role wouldn’t be on offense. They fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin this week, and Lewis will call the defensive signals.“Hue is here to, you know, right now he’s trying to find, you know, just get http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-mark-walton-jersey , uh, immersed back into what we’re doing, how we’re doing it and the added morsels to me about things he, you know, observes,” Lewis said. “That way he can assist with players on the field and with us defensively with the implementation and development of the plan and, you know, he’ll continue to look at things analytically. He’s got a lot more exposure to that than I’ve had, and that’s helpful because we have the data and just how they continue to use the data correctly. And so that’s good and he’s been involved in that quite a bit, so that’s another added plus exposure to things.”Thanks for clearing that up, Marvin.Jackson was just as clear about his time in Cleveland. He was fired after going 3-36-1, but declared the experience “good.”“You know, regardless of what the record was Womens Clint Boling Jersey , I mean, it was an opportunity and an experience and you can’t get those back,” he said. “I think I’m a better coach for it, you know, having gone through it. But at the same time, you know, nobody wants to have that kind of record, you know. But I’m looking to being here, helping this organization win and getting this organization back to where it needs to be.”Whatever that entails. Vontaze Burfict has new teammates, having signed a one-year contract worth up to $5 million with the Raiders. One of those new teammates is former nemesis Antonio Brown.The linebacker stresses new teammate and former nemesis.“We’re on the same team,” Burfict said Tuesday night, via Michael Gehlken of the . “It’s one goal. It’s all positive, man. He’s a great player. . . .I’m going to approach him just like I do all my other teammates. There’s nothing negative here. We’re on the same team. We’re trying to win a championship here.”Brown and Burfict have a history Tyler Boyd Jersey White , having played each other for years in the AFC North.In the 2015 postseason, Burfict knocked out Brown with an illegal hit to the head. The league later suspended him three games, one of several suspensions Burfict has served in his career.The league also fined Burfict for a hit to Brown’s head last season.“I’m not a dirty player,” Burfict said Tuesday. “I play a physical position. I can’t go out there patty-cake. If I play soft, I’m not doing my job.”In 2017, JuJu Smith-Schuster had an illegal hit on Burfict that caused Burfict to leave the field on a cart. Brown yelled, “Karma!” while reporters were interviewing Smith-Schuster afterward.Burfict reunites with defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, who already has reminded Burfict he can’t hit Brown in practice the way he did in games.“It’s all fun and games,” Burfict said. “We’re on the same team. . . .We might be the closest friends on the team.

That’s a very different approach from General Manager Brian Gutekunst than the Packers’ front office took with the old regime led by Ted Thompson.But Gutekunst downplayed how big a change he has made to the Packers’ philosophy, saying Green Bay always wants to win.“Obviously, this is Green Bay, Wisconsin; we’re in a win-now mode all the time,” he said, via ESPN. “I thought we needed to add to our defense significantly Womens Dean Lowry Jersey , and I think these guys will. So, I don’t think it’s any different than it ever has been.”Teams always want to win, but they don’t always make the kinds of aggressive signings that Gutekunst made. Teams often build for the long run through the draft and prioritize that over free agency, and Gutekunst’s approach is very different than Thompson’s. Gutekunst downplayed talk that the Packers are running out of time to win with Aaron Rodgers, but he did say he’s working hard at improving quickly from last year’s 6-9-1 record, the Packers’ worst since Rodgers’ first year as the starting quarterback.“Obviously, you can’t kick the can down the road forever, but at the same time I don’t think we really did that here. I think if you really look at it, we didn’t really jeopardize anything in the future Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey ,” he said.When the Packers gave Rodgers a huge contract extension last year, the idea was that they should be Super Bowl contenders over the life of that contract, which expires after the 2023 season. Gutekunst wants to make that happen quickly. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers endured perhaps the most challenging year of his career — a season marked by a knee injury, inconsistent play and the firing of coach Mike McCarthy.Enter new coach Matt LaFleur, who would rather look ahead to building a relationship with Rodgers than look back to find out what went wrong.“He’s had a hell of a career up to this point,” LaFleur said at the NFL combine on Wednesday. “For me, it’s just about what can we do moving forward. I know this: When I talk to him, the guy wants to win. I think he’s at the point of his career where he’s starting to think about his legacy and what he’s going to leave. The only way you can do that is you better win a world championship. That’s the goal. We’re always going to strive for that.“I think that’s where he’s at in his career.”Rodgers won his lone Super Bowl in 2010. He won MVP awards in 2011 and 2014 and led the Packers to NFC championship games in 2014 and 2016. The second world championship, however Josh Jones Jersey White , has remained elusive.At age 35, he’s on the back nine of his career.To get the Packers back to the playoffs – they’ve missed out the last two seasons after qualifying the previous eight years – let alone win a championship, LaFleur wants to take some of the pressure off Rodgers. That means a balanced offense, particularly on first and second down. Green Bay operated the most pass-heavy attack in the league last season.LaFleur hopes to change the equation.“That’s philosophically what I believe is best to keep a defense off-balance, and it makes the quarterback’s job a heck of a lot easier, it takes hits off the quarterbacks,” LaFleur said. “I think all these guys kind of have a shelf life and there’s only ‘X’ amount of hits in a guy’s body. So how can we extend our quarterback’s career as long as possible? And I think the way you do that is make a commitment to the running game and kind of build your offense through your running game?”The Packers arrived at the combine armed with a pair of first-round picks — Nos. 12 and 30 — and six choices in the first four rounds. They have plenty of needs, with outside linebacker, safety and guard among them. Finding an immediate starter at tight end Aaron Jones Jersey White , however, might not be necessary, with general manager Brian Gutekunst indicating veteran Jimmy Graham will return for a second season.Graham finished second on the team with 55 receptions for 636 yards, though he scored only two touchdowns. He played the last quarter of the season with a broken thumb. The 32-year-old has a salary-cap charge of $12.667 million for 2019, which includes a $5 million roster bonus due next month. Gutekunst could release Graham and create about $5.333 million of cap space but that’s apparently not the plan.“Jimmy had a productive year for us last year,” Gutekunst said. “Was really, really proud of him. He fought through a lot of things just to be out there. Guys who have played as long as he has don’t have to do that. His professionalism was on display each and every day, and I look forward to seeing what he can do for us this year.”The futures of free-agent receiver Randall Cobb, free-agent linebacker Clay Matthews and veteran linebacker Nick Perry have not been determined http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-ray-nitschke-jersey , Gutekunst said. They were three of the highest-paid players on the team last season but they all underperformed.“As we get all the information together as we approach the next few weeks, we’ll kind of have a better idea for all that,” Gutekunst said.]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73784/tj-hockenson-detroit-lions-jersey Fri, 02 Aug 2019 02:33:28 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73784/tj-hockenson-detroit-lions-jersey Frat Stafford is back!" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhitePride Of Detroita Detroit Lions communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibraryLionsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions NotesDetroit Lions AnalysisDetroit Lions TransactionsDetroit Lions Game RecapsFiled under:VideosDetroit Lions HumorVideo: Watch Matthew Stafford put Aaron Rodgers’ chugging attempt to shameNew Sylvester Williams Jersey ,86commentsFrat Stafford is back! EDTShareTweetShareShareVideo: Watch Matthew Stafford put Aaron Rodgers’ chugging attempt to shameOn Thursday night during the NBA Conference Championship Game between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks, the camera crews inside the Milwaukee arena found Packers tackle David Bakhtiari. As has become tradition in the past year or so, when a famous athlete gets caught on the big screen at a sporting event, he must immediately chug his beer. Bakhtiari, being the offensive lineman he is, had no problem fulfilling the tradition, swinging back two beers in about nine seconds. Then cameras cut to Aaron Rodgers. He... well, he gave it his best:Okay, first off, that isn’t even a full Beer, Aaron:That’s like three-fifths of a beer. And not only does it take Rodgers eight seconds to drink approximately eight ounces Ricky Wagner Jersey , but HE DOESN’T EVEN FINISH. Thankfully, the camera went back to Bakhtiari to reclaim pride in the land of the Pack.This would have adequate schadenfreude to be noteworthy on a Detroit Lions blog like this, but the story doesn’t end here. Minutes later, Kelly Stafford, wife of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, posted this on Instagram: This social media post deserves an Emmy.First, kudos to Kelly for the cinematography. She zooms in on the same basketball game being played. This accomplishes two things: Like taking a picture with today’s newspaper, it confirms this is present day, 31-year-old Matthew Stafford. Secondly, it confirms this is a direct response to Rodgers’ pathetic drinking attempt.Then Matthew takes over. Tall-boy in hand, like the Patrick Mahomes of drinking Quandre Diggs Jersey , Stafford no-looks the camera and takes down a full beer in about four seconds. Frat Stafford is back, y’all. (Also underrated, the very, very real, definitely not staged conversation between Sam Martin and his lady friend at the beginning of the video.)This just continues the trend of the Lions owning the Packers.

However T.J. Hockenson Detroit Lions Jersey , I will throw my hat into the ring anyways. At this point, I’d be eyeing defensive tackle Ed Oliver. With Damon Harrison due for a big pay raise, and A’Shawn Robinson entering the final year of his contract, the Lions could use a young playmaker on the interior of the defensive line who can rush the passer (while also being a nice, cheap contract).I’ll never understand why Oliver seemed to drop in mock drafts since the season ended, but it looks like his eye-popping Pro Day measurements put him back into the top 10 conversation and possibly even top five. I’d be tempted by the likes of pass-rushing monster Brian Burns or even T.J. Hockenson here, but I’d be pretty happy if the Lions went Oliver here.

"There's not much that's the same."The Bengals had one of the worst offenses in franchise history last season, finishing last in the NFL in yards and time of possession and tied for last in first downs. The rushing game was the worst in club history, averaging 85.4 yards.Bill Lazor was elevated to offensive coordinator after an 0-2 start, replacing Ken Zampese. He had to stick with the system in place, one that's been tweaked in the past decade under coordinators Jay Gruden White Michael Jordan Jersey , Hue Jackson and Zampese. The Bengals decided to keep him as coordinator and gave him more latitude to make changes in the offseason."What we were doing before was basically Jay's offense with the adaptation of Hue — he put his stuff on it," said Dalton, entering his eighth season. "Then (Zampese) took over and did his thing. Now we're starting from square one. This is all new."The redesign is a focus as the Bengals open their offseason activities. They've kept the core of the unit intact, even signing tight end Tyler Eifert to another deal as he recovers from back surgery. The line was the biggest part of the problems last season, and the Bengals acquired left tackle Cordy Glenn from Buffalo as an upgrade.They're likely to look for more help for the line early in the draft later this month.The offense was ineffective even though Dalton and receiver A.J. Green were healthy throughout the season. Lazor made subtle changes as the season went along, but they weren't enough to make much of a difference, given the line's struggles.Eifert was one of their biggest questions heading into free agency. The first-round pick from Notre Dame in 2013 has been one of Dalton's favorite targets when he's not hurt. Eifert played only one game in 2014 Tyler Eifert Jersey , eight in 2016 and two last season, when he suffered another back injury and had another procedure.He set a club record for tight ends with 13 touchdown catches in 2015, but has only five in the past two seasons combined. The Bengals offered him a one-year deal loaded with incentives. Eifert said on Monday that his back has healed and he has few restrictions on his workouts.He wanted to stay in Cincinnati but wasn't sure whether the Bengals wanted to keep him or move onto someone else, given his history of injuries to his back, shoulder, ankle and elbow."I'm obviously in a unique situation with the amount of games I've missed," Eifert said. "With the injuries and everything Drew Sample Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , I didn't really know what was going to happen. But this is where I wanted to be and where I want to be playing."HAIR, HAIREifert has a new look, letting his curly hair grow into a mullet. He's got the sides cut short to accentuate the back."That's what I had in college, the hair out the helmet," Eifert said. "I mean, it's swaggy. It's a good look. I never got hurt in college, I had long hair. I'm going to let it go."MAKING AN IMPRESIONOhio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is in a group of more than 40 local players invited for the team's annual workout on Tuesday at Paul Brown Stadium Drew Sample Jersey 2019 , hoping to make an impression heading into the draft next week. GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals came so close to breaking through for a win.Instead they found a new way to lose. The offense wasn’t entirely to blame.A defense that had contained quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers’ potent offense in the first half fell apart late in a 27-24 loss in overtime on Sunday.“A disappointment is not finishing a football game now,” coach Marvin Lewis said.The Bengals are 0-3 for the first time since 2008.Mason Crosby kicked the decisive 27-yard field goal with 6:26 left in overtime to complete the Packers’ comeback from a 21-7 halftime deficit. The game-winner was set up by Rodgers’ 72-yard pass to Geronimo Allison that came on a free play.Defensive end Michael Johnson was whistled for offside on third-and-10 from the Packers 21. Officials let the play continue and the two-time NFL MVP found Allison on about a 40-yard pass before the receiver beat a couple defenders for more yards.Rodgers also connected with Jordy Nelson for a 3-yard touchdown pass with 17 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 24, completing a 12-play, 75-yard drive. Cornerback Dre Kilpatrick narrowly missed batting away the bullet thrown by the quarterback into the front right corner of the end zone.“Far too many chunk plays against a good quarterback like that. That ended up being the difference in the football game,” Lewis said.At least the offense showed signs of life, especially early in the game.A.J. Green caught a 10-yard scoring pass on the game’s opening drive for Cincinnati’s first touchdown after two frustrating weeks for the offense. Bill Lazor made his debut as offensive coordinator for the fired Ken Zampese.Andy Dalton was 21 of 27 for 212 yards and two scores for the Bengals. Dalton was targeting his best playmaker early Youth Drew Sample Jersey , just like the star receiver had hoped following the Week 2 loss to Houston. Green caught 10 of 13 targets for 111 yards.Then the Packers started getting to Dalton a little more in the second half.

But Luck's pass bounced short, the Texans got a 24-yard completion on the next play and Ka'imi Fairbairn made a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give the Houston Texans a 37-34 overtime victory.Nobody in the Colts' locker room was second-guessing the decision, though."I loved it," Luck said. "We had a discussion before the play and I agreed, so it had my stamp of approval. We did not execute well enough. I did not get the ball to Chester to make the play and I'm sick about it. After all the mistakes we made, we still had a chance to make the play and we didn't get it done."The Colts (1-3) certainly had chances all afternoon.After a mostly dismal first half, Luck couldn't convert on a 2-point conversion attempt with 7:41 left in regulation, on the Hail Mary attempt on the final play of regulation or on a third-down play that forced Indy to settle for a go-ahead field with 6 minutes left in overtime.The defense couldn't prevent the Texans from setting up a 40-yard field goal with 2:58 left in regulation, a 59-yard field goal attempt in the final seconds of regulation, a 29-yard field goal to tie the score at 34 with 1:50 left in overtime or Julien Davenport Jersey White , of course, the winning kick as time expired.Yes, Reich would have changed one thing if he had to do it over again 鈥?he wouldn't have asked Luck to line up and attempt to draw the Texans (1-3) offside before calling a timeout. He would have gone for it right away.But the failed fourth-down call wasn't the only problem Sunday.Houston's first score came on Jadeveon Clowney's fumble recovery in the end zone when center Ryan Kelly appeared to think Luck was under center rather than in the shotgun, and Fairbairn actually missed the first attempt at the winning kick 鈥?but right after Reich called timeout.The Texans (1-3) took advantage of it. But Reich gained the respect of players on both sides for his unconventional move."I respect their decision to go for the win, not a tie," Texans defensive end J.J. Watt said. "You play to win, you don't play to tie."Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri concurred.After becoming the league's career leader on a 42-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in the first half and giving Indy a 34-31 lead with a 44-yarder in overtime for No. 567, he wanted one more shot to win the milestone game. He never got another chance after the incompletion, spoiling the celebration."I love the call," Vinatieri said. "I love the fourth-down call to go for the win, I really do 鈥?I love it. We just have to make the play. The teams that win games make those plays."This season, the Colts have not made those plays.They lost to Cincinnati in the season opener when Pro Bowl tight end Jack Doyle fumbled as the Colts were driving for a go-ahead score with less than 2 minutes left. They lost last week at Super Bowl champion Philadelphia when Luck was sacked on fourth-and-goal in the final 2 minutes. On Sunday Justin Reid Jersey White , with their top receiver T.Y. Hilton on the sideline with an injured hamstring, Reich made the call and came up short when the defense allowed Houston to move into scoring position on its fourth consecutive series.But the confidence Reich showed in both his offense and by defense by going for it just might produce some long-term wins."We are not going to be shy, we aren't going to be afraid to go for it," Kelly said. "I think it just goes to show you he has the trust in the playmakers on this team, and no matter who is in there they need to do their job. I got to give it to him." HOUSTON (AP) — The Texans set a team record by running for 281 yards in beating Tennessee.Now they will try to keep their running game going against Cleveland when they attempt to extend their franchise-record winning streak to nine games.Houston’s big rushing performance came thanks in large part to the performance of Lamar Miller, who ran for a season-high 162 yards. His night was highlighted by a franchise-long 97-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.Coach Bill O’Brien has always talked glowingly about Miller’s work and enjoyed watching him break away for that run.“Lamar turned it on,” he said. “He got out in the open, did a great job. Lamar has been a great pro for us since the day he walked in here. So it was nice to see him be able to get that type of run.”Though the Texans have a talented passing game led by quarterback Deshaun Watson and star receiver DeAndre Hopkins, O’Brien believes the key to success is being able to run the ball effectively.“In the end, we’ve got to — our football team, based on what we preach and the type of guys we try to bring in here — we want to be a physically tough, smart football team Womens Ryan Griffin Jersey ,” he said. “We feel like we have to be able to stop the run and we feel like we have to be able to run the ball.”The Texans have run the ball well all year and rank fourth in the NFL by averaging 136.5 yards rushing. Just as it was on Monday night, their success has been because of the play of Miller.The 27-year-old, who is in his third season with the Texans, has three 100-yard rushing games this season after not running for more than 75 yards in a game last year. He ranks eighth in the NFL with 773 yards rushing and is averaging 4.9 yards a carry. His long touchdown on Monday made him the only player in NFL history to have two TD runs of 95 yards or longer after he also had a 97-yard touchdown run in 2014 while with the Dolphins.Houston hasn’t had a rushing performance like his in several years. It was the first time a Texans’ running back had rushed for 150 yards or more with a touchdown since franchise-leading rusher Arian Foster did it in 2014.Watson said when Miller is rolling, it makes everything easier.“It just opens up the whole offense,” Watson said. “The safeties get aggressive. The defense has to show what their hand is … our offensive line and the running backs set (up) the run game and open up the pass game.”Houston’s running game was also helped on Monday by Watson’s scrambling. The speedy quarterback ran for a career-high 70 yards with a 15-yard touchdown after not running for more than 35 yards in the first 10 games.The Texans stayed away from designed running plays for Watson over the past few weeks as he recovered from lung and rib injuries.Though Watson denied that his health had anything to do with limiting such plays in past weeks, it was clear by the way he moved on Monday night that he was far healthier than he had been earlier this season.Watson, who ran for 1,934 yards and 26 touchdowns in three seasons at Clemson, delighted in his rushing performance on Monday night and said fans could expect more such outings in the future.“The opportunity came and I took advantage of it,” he said. “I just got to go out there and continue to try to pick our spots in those situations. But, you never know when I’m going to keep the ball.”Houston’s other running back on the active roster is Alfred Blue Womens Stephen Anderson Jersey , who has 392 yards rushing and has proven to be a good option when Miller needs a break.The Texans’ running game could get a boost soon if D’Onta Foreman is able to return after missing all season after rupturing his Achilles tendon last November.Foreman, who won the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top collegiate running back in 2016 at Texas, returned to practice earlier this month but isn’t quite ready to play.“Foreman’s doing better,” O’Brien said. “I don’t think he’s all the way back, though. I really don’t … so we’ll see how it looks this week again. We’ll make a good decision No. 1, based on him — the player and where he’s at — then secondly, based on the team.”]]> elaine95 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73596/womens-aaron-ripkowski-jersey Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:07:33 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/73596/womens-aaron-ripkowski-jersey The Green Bay Packers added another name to the injury list just before halftime. Outside linebacker Nick Perry appeared to injury his knee while putting some pressure on Brock Osweiler. He is questionable to return.Perry had a decent pass rush on the Dolphins left tackle but after arriving at Osweiler a step too late Womens Jamaal Williams Jersey , it appeared that someone fell into his knee and it hyper-extended. It looked pretty painful but after a short time on the ground, Perry was being assisted off by the Packers medical staff.With Perry’s status uncertain, Kyler Fackrell looks to get the bulk of the reps. Fackrell has had a decent game so far racking up three tackles and a sack. In his limited snaps so far Womens Aaron Ripkowski Jersey , Fackrell has also been dropping into coverage and doing a good job guarding the flats.Perry was the third Packer to leave the game in the first half due to injury, joining safety Kentrell Brice (ankle) and offensive lineman Lucas Patrick (concussion). Both of those two players were ruled out for the remainder of the game.UPDATE: Perry was also ruled out of the game early in the fourth quarter. Clark is now under contract through 2020."What was assumed is now official: Kenny Clark will be a member of the Green Bay Packers for at least two more seasons.The Packers officially exercised their team option on Clark for a fifth season, according to a report from ESPN’s Field Yates early Tuesday morning. This comes a few days after general manager Brian Gutekunst indicated that he planned to execute this move. This provision is available to the Packers under the current collective bargaining agreement because Clark was a first-round draft pick. The team selected him 27th overall in 2016 out of UCLA.Clark emerged as a dominant force on the Packers’ line late in 2017 Womens Bart Starr Jersey , with 4.5 sacks over the final five games of the season. He then sustained that excellent play in 2018, recording six sacks with a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He was named as an alternate on the NFC Pro Bowl team this season as well.Because Clark was selected outside the top ten picks, the salary for the option year in 2020 is equal to the average of the third- through the 25th-highest salaries at the player’s position in 2019. Top-ten picks’ option salaries are equal to the transition tag amount for players at their position. Teams have until May 3rd to exercise these options.At present Dave Robinson Jersey White , the Packers’ other star defensive lineman, Mike Daniels, has a contract due to expire at the end of the 2019 season Womens Dean Lowry Jersey , as does the other current projected starter, Dean Lowry. Also in the mix for more playing time are Montravius Adams, Tyler Lancaster Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , and Kingsley Keke, the latter having just been selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.]]> elaine95
