The New York Giants linebacker practiced twice last week and has practiced this week. What does he need to show if he is to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers?“Prove to myself is the number one priority, but then also showing them [coaches] that I’m capable of making certain plays that you don’t want to be a liability out there,” Vernon said. “It’s just basically showing the coaches you’re capable of making the cuts when you have to or inside stunts and stuff like that.”Defensive tackle Damon Harrison said Thursday that getting Vernon back would mean “everything” to the defense.“That’s the terminator. OV can do it all. Can provide some much needed pass rush, as well as be strong on the edges,” Harrison said. “I think that’s not a discredit to the other guys. OV is just a different animal.”Mike Shula’s take on the struggling offenseOn Odell Beckham Jr. not having any touchdowns yet:“I think that just comes in a natural play of the game. I don’t think if we try to start forcing the ball to get anybody touchdowns, I think you run into some risky business, so to speak. I think that he’s very talented. He’s going to get the ball. He’s going to get us in the end zone. He’s going to get in the end zone. More importantly, we need to score more, however we do it. Whether or not it’s Odell, or (RB) Saquon (Barkley), whoever it is. We just need to get down there number one, and finish drives. It’s all about scoring points.”On why Eli Manning’s high rate of completions hasn’t led to more points:“I think that we’re close. It hasn’t been good enough yet. I know coach has mentioned this, too, I know Eli has mentioned it, we’ve had some plays that have set us back penalty wise, or a negative play that has maybe been one of the reasons why we’ve stalled the drives. The completion percentage is big. Obviously [url=http://www.giantsjerseyproshop.com/sterling-shepard-jersey/]White Sterling Shepard Jerseys[/url] , you want the ball caught every time and thrown to the right guy. A quarterback’s job is to do three things: throw it to the right guy, get the ball there on time, and get the ball there accurately. Whether or not that guy is 20 yards down the field or five yards down the field, just keep the chains moving forward, and then we feel like if we do that and stay on the field, with our athletes, we’re going to get the ball in the end zone.”Ray-Ray Armstrong emergingArmstrong, in theory a backup inside linebacker has played 151 snaps thus far while starter B.J. Goodson has played only 101.“One of the things with Ray-Ray is, I love the ability and flexibility that guys have as whether they can come cover back, whether they can blitz off the edge, whether they can cover in space. I think the way the game has changed is we’ve all seen a change over the last few years, is the game has become so horizontal, so spread out, that you have to be able to do those things in space and I think Ray-Ray is getting an opportunity to play right now,” said defensive coordinator James Bettcher. “For B.J., he’s just got to keep playing [url=http://www.giantsjerseyproshop.com/sterling-shepard-jersey/]Sterling Shepard Jerseys 2019[/url] , keep working. I love his mindset, I love his work ethic, (he’s a) physical guy. We’re not down on B.J., I think Ray-Ray has played a little bit better to this point, and he’s going to continue to get his chances.”‘Snacks:’ Defense needs an identityHarrison isn’t yet sure what the Giants are on defense.“I’m still trying to figure out what we are on defense. I think we somewhat have established our identity as a team. A tough unit, a physical unit, but we just don’t complete ballgames in it’s entirety. I think that’s just something we have to work on.”Around the Inter-GoogleWayne Gallman reflects on the loss of his old Clemson teammate C.J.

Team identity?Panthers say Reid's return won't be distraction vs. GiantsWide receiver Torrey Smith chuckled at the notion that Eric Reid's return to the NFL this week might be a distraction for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday when they host the New York Giants. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The NFL trading deadline passed and the New York Giants decided to stand pat despite speculation they would be wheeling and dealing with a second straight season going down the tubes.Linebacker Olivier Vernon, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and safety Landon Collins will finish the season with the Giants, who are 1-7 for the second straight year and have virtually no chance of making the playoffs in Pat Shurmur’s first season as coach.Cornerback Eli Apple and 2016 All-Pro defensive tackle Damon Harrison were the only players traded, and they were shipped the week before the deadline.Heading into their bye week, the question facing Shurmur is where does the team go from here.To be honest, there isn’t a lot he can do. This team has only made the playoffs once since winning the Super Bowl in 2012. There is not a lot of depth.The one change fans and the media want is at quarterback. Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning is as stationary as a quarterback can be and that does not work in the NFL, especially when his offense line is playing poorly. The 37-year-old has been sacked 31 times and this past Sunday he seemed to ducking as soon as the pressure got near him.Many wanted Shurmur to put in rookie Kyle Lauletta to see what the fourth-round pick out of Richmond could do.That’s probably not going to happen now.The 22-year-old was arrested Tuesday on motor vehicle and related disorderly persons offenses while driving near a road construction site to practice.Weehawken police said he failed to obey a police officer’s order and almost hit the officer while making an illegal turn. He was charged with eluding police [url=http://www.giantsjerseyproshop.com/darian-thompson-jersey/]White Darian Thompson Jerseys[/url] , obstructing administration of law and resisting arrest. He was also charged with reckless driving, disregarding an officer’s directions, improper turn and failure to remain in a marked lane.He might face a league suspension. The Giants would look foolish replacing Manning for him. Veteran Alex Tanney also isn’t the answer.“We’re trying to do what we can to win this season, and certainly you always do what you can in the short run,” Shurmur said before heading into the bye.What the Giants will do is evaluate all facets of their games to find plays that work.There is little they can do with the offense line. It was revamped to start the season and 60 percent has changed. Center Jon Halapio broke a leg and is done for the season. Right tackle Ereck Flowers was cut and free agent right guard Patrick Omameh struggled, was hurt and lost his job. Left tackle Nate Solder, the big free agent signing who has struggled at times, and rookie second-round draft pick Will Hernandez are the only starters remaining.The talent in the skill positions is obvious. Odell Beckham Jr. (61 catches for 785 yards) and Sterling Shepard (40 for 542) are outstanding receivers.Shurmur needs to find a way to get second-year tight end Evan Engram more involved. He was an explosive receiver last season and that has been missing.Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, has helped the passing game, catching 58 passes for 497 yards and two touchdowns.The biggest need is to get the running game going. Despite getting 519 yards from Barkley, the rest of the team has contributed just over 100 yards. It has allowed opposing defenses to play the pass, limiting the offense. The unit has hurt itself with penalties and sacks that have created too many third-and-long plays, and it has settled for too many field goals, averaging 18.5 points.“We got good players,” said Manning [url=http://www.giantsjerseyproshop.com/darian-thompson-jersey/]Darian Thompson Jerseys 2019[/url] , who wants to remain the starting quarterback. “There’s some good football. There are some good plays. There’s some big plays, some explosive plays. There’s just some bad football as well. So, it’s just cleaning up the bad stuff.”The positive for the Giants has been James Bettcher’s defense. It has given the Giants a chance to win games. Its only drawback is it has not taken the ball away more. New York has seven takeaways.“We always said from the beginning, we got all the weapons that we showcase, and we expected to win,” Collins said of the season. “So yeah, I’m very surprised by it.”Barkley, who lost only five games in his last two seasons at Penn State, said losing in the NFL has been an adjustment for him, as it has been for many of his teammates.“It’s part of the NFL, it’s a part of the sport. It’s adversity right now,” Barkley said. “When we get this thing going, and we get this thing rolling, we’re going to look back at this and laugh, and see how this made us tougher.”]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/69693/buffalo-bills-to-auction-off-surplus-items Wed, 12 Jun 2019 01:30:07 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/69693/buffalo-bills-to-auction-off-surplus-items <![CDATA[Buffalo Bills to auction off surplus items]]>  Have you ever asked yourself; “How can I get my hands on one of those padded doughnut things they use on the goal posts so no one gets hurt running into them?” You have?

That year, they were above .500 all season, but this year they sit three games under heading into Week 8 and a giant test on Monday Night Football.Bills fans aren’t optimistic of a repeat trip to the NFL playoffs.According to our FanPulse data, only 4% of Bills fans think the team will make the postseason in 2018. Frankly, that’s probably a bit high.Only three other team’s fans voted at a worse rate; Oakland Raiders (0%) White LeSean McCoy Jerseys , San Francisco 49ers (2%), and Arizona Cardinals (2%). New York Giants fans also gave their team a 4% chance to make the playoffs. Around the AFC East, New York Jets fans aren’t much further ahead, clocking in at 5% while Miami Dolphins fans, presumably riding an early-season wave of confidence from their 3-0 start LeSean McCoy Jerseys 2019 , give their team a 42% chance of making the playoffs. And who are these rogue New England Patriots fans, where only 96% of respondents think Tom Brady will make the postseason. The Bills currently have the three lowest passers who have thrown the ball more than seven times this season. Maybe they’re now hoping to make it four.That’s really the only way to explain the decision to go with Matt Barkley at quarterback on Sunday against the Jets. That and the reality the fact that Barkley is: (1) healthy; and (2) not Nathan Peterman.A fourth-round pick in 2013 who at one point was expected to go much higher, Barkley signed with the Bills on October 31. And while he has been on multiple rosters since his last actual regular-season playing appearance, Barkley is as rusty when it comes to playing in games that count as a certain unemployed quarterback who once wore No. 7 for the 49ers, like Barkley White Kyle Williams Jerseys , and who, like Barkley, last played on January 1, 2017.On that day, Barkley completed 10 of 14 passes for 125 yards and two interceptions Kyle Williams Jerseys 2019 , generating a passer rating of 59.2. On that same day, a certain unemployed quarterback completed 17 of 22 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown, generating a passer rating of 122.3.So take the Jets and give the points and enjoy being a Bills fan for as long as they try to get by with this bizarre Wheel of Misfortune at the most important position on the field.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68099/let%E2%80%99s-check-the-headlines-as-draft-day-begins Wed, 05 Jun 2019 04:25:48 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/68099/let%E2%80%99s-check-the-headlines-as-draft-day-begins <![CDATA[Let’s check the headlines as Draft Day begins"]]> WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015 Men Dexter Lawrence Jersey , Week 17New York Giants NewsGiants news, 4/25: Daniel Jones at center of draft rumor millNew,82commentsLet’s check the headlines as Draft Day beginsEDTShareTweetShareShareGiants news, 4/25: Daniel Jones at center of draft rumor millGood morning, New York Giants fans!It is Draft Day, so we begin with some 2019 NFL Draft rumors that could impact the Giants.Why Chris Simms doesn’t think Giants should waste first-rounder on Daniel Jones | SNYIncreasingly, the belief is that the Giants are targeting Jones.When should the Giants target Daniel Jones? – ProFootballTalkThis is the prevailing belief.

Gay Talese wrote in the New York Times that Modzelewski was “260 pounds of tough tenderloin with shoulders so broad that he often has to pass through doors sideways.” Talese added, however Color Rush Dexter Lawrence Jersey , that “When he is not playing tackle for the New York Giants, Modzelewski is a warm-hearted, gentle soul who loves to babysit for his 108-pound wife, Dorothy. But when he is playing football he is thoroughly bellicose. He wants to win more than any man since Machiavelli, Dillinger or Leo Durocher.”In 1949 Modzelewski enrolled at Maryland, joining his older brother, Ed Modzelewski, on a Terrapins team that was one of the best in the country. Dick Modzelewski was a two-time All-American and winner of the Outland Trophy New York Giants Jersey 2019 , awarded to the best lineman in college football. He was later voted to the College Football Hall of Fame.Washington drafted Modzelewski in 1953, but he didn’t get along with coach Joe Kuharich and after two years in the NFL signed a contract to leave for the Canadian Football League and a Calgary Stampeders team that was coached by one of his former Maryland coaches. But a lawsuit voided that contract and kept Modzelewski in the NFL, where he was traded to Pittsburgh. After just one year with the Steelers, Modzelewski once again was traded, this time to the Giants. That was where he found his greatest success.During Modzelewski’s eight years with the Giants, they went to the NFL championship game six times, and his presence in the middle of the line helped make the Giants’ defense among the best in football. Modzelewski also got to line up several times against his brother in the NFL, and he didn’t hold back when facing family.“Ed is my brother and I love him 2019 Dexter Lawrence Jersey ,” Modzelewski said. “But on the field he wears a white shirt and I wear a blue shirt and we don’t know each other.”But Ed Modzelewski wasn’t the toughest opponent Dick Modzelewski faced. That would be Browns running back Jim Brown. After a brutal 1961 game between the Giants and the Browns at Yankee Stadium ended in a 7-7 tie, Modzelewski proudly showed off his scratches and bruises and told reporters, “Look what I got from Jimmy Brown.”In 1964 Modzelewski was traded once more, to the Browns, where he became Jim Brown’s teammate and played his last three NFL seasons. After retiring as a player, Modzelewski was immediately hired by the Browns as a scout, and then made defensive line coach. He was later promoted to defensive coordinator, and he was the Browns’ interim head coach for one game at the end of the 1977 season. Modzelewski would later have spots on the staffs of the Giants Dexter Lawrence NFL Draft , Bengals, Packers and Lions.In 1989 Modzelewski announced that he thought he had coached long enough, and he felt that it was time to step aside for a younger generation of coaches. He spent retirement with Dorothy, his wife of 64 years, and is survived by her and their four children.

As he gets ready to play in his ninth Super Bowl, odds are that you either already think he’s the greatest quarterback of all time or you don’t. You’re either in awe of what he has been able to accomplish throughout his career or you think he gets more credit than he deserves, the beneficiary of an otherworldly coach and an efficient system.And you’re going to feel the exact same way come Monday morning.Maybe I’m wrong on this one; maybe there are a whole slew of people who are sitting on the fence regarding Tommy B and what he has done as a player, and the outcome of Sunday’s game will finally get them off that fence and into one camp. But if those people do exist, we’ll never know, because apparently they all have much more important things to do than post their opinions on comment threads and social media.There has been a lot of talk this week about what Super Bowl LIII will do for Brady’s legacy, or how it will impact the Patriots, or what it means big picture, blah blah blah. It’s almost exclusively a ratings grab, as the storylines are all played out by this point http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-patrick-chung-jersey , but it’s interesting nonetheless to note that there’s still the notion that anybody, anywhere, is going to feel differently about Tom Brady and the Patriots once the final whistle of the Super Bowl sounds. It might be fun to talk about, and getting together with like-minded folks to perpetuate confirmation bias is 90% of what sports is all about, but if we were ever able to pull of the rose-colored blinders of impenetrable sports fan hypocrisy that we all wear like a badge of honor, we’d have no choice to acknowledge that one of two things is going to happen this Sunday:If the Patriots win the Super Bowl, the GOATers are going to double down on their narrative that the debate isn’t even close, that Tommy B has done more than any other player in NFL history. The anti-Pats crowd will likely point to the refs, or the defense, or luck, or whatever else it is that they believe is primarily responsible for the almost 20 years of success the Patriots have enjoyed this century.If the Patriots lose the Super Bowl, the anti-Pats crowd is going to double down on their narrative that Brady isn’t great because not only did he just lose back-to-back Super Bowls Stephen Gostkowski Jersey , he also has four losses, tied with for most all-time by a starter. GOATs don’t lose when it matters most, and Brady lost. The GOATers will still say he’s the best, that he made it to an unprecedented nine Super Bowls, and were it not for a few plays and bounces (because we all know that this game is going to come down to a few plays and bounces), Brady would have his sixth.We’re all in one camp or another, and we aren’t going anywhere. Maybe if Tom Brady goes on to win three or four more, there may be a few stragglers who reluctantly pull up their stakes from the Camp Hater and make their way over to GOATsville. And maybe if he loses on Sunday, some of the more reluctant Brady fans will gleefully jump ship and go back to the other side where they’re happiest. But for the rest of us, this game isn’t going to move the needle one way or another on how Tom Brady will be portrayed when he finally retires in 15-20 years. He’s either the greatest or he isn’t, full stop, and pretending that anyone will think differently as a result of this game isn’t overly honest.That’s not going to stop folks from talking about it Womens Duke Dawson Jersey , though, is it? So if you like getting down in the mud and mixing it up with the other side, then have at it; sports is a hobby, recreation, and something we follow for fun (my therapist says if I repeat that 25 times a day I have a decent chance of living past 50). But if you don’t, no need to feel bad about sitting all of this out and just appreciating the game. Your mind is already made up, so no need tothink about it any further. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t feeling his best this week and he added a cut to his right thumb during Sunday’s game against the Jets.Brady got it taken care of by the training staff and went on to turn in a strong game in New England’s 27-3 win. Brady was 20-of-31 for 283 yards and two touchdowns while moving past Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards in the regular season and postseason.All that came after Brady was limited in practice by a knee injury on Thursday and missed practice altogether with an illness entering the picture on Friday.“I’d prefer to be healthy and practicing all the time,” Brady said, via NBC Sports Boston. “It just wasn’t the case. Just get back at it right now and try to feel as good as I can next week.”One of Brady’s touchdown passes went to Rob Gronkowski in Gronk’s first appearance since Week Nine. Brady said “it’s great for our offense” to have Gronkowski back in action and they’ll hope everyone remains in place to face the Vikings next Sunday.

(AP) — The New York Jets‘ starting QB is TBD for Sunday.Sam Darnold and Josh McCown were both limited at practice for the second straight day, leaving it uncertain who will be under center at Tennessee.Coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Darnold, McCown and Davis Webb each had snaps and ran the offense during drills. "We'll see who's the healthiest," Bowles said. "All of them are taking reps right now and we'll make that decision as the week goes."It would appear the choice will come down to either Darnold or McCown, especially since Webb hasn't yet taken a regular-season snap in the NFL and was on the practice squad until Darnold was hurt.Darnold has missed the past two games with a strain in his right foot. He showed progress Wednesday by participating in team drills for the first time since being injured against Miami on Nov. 4. Bowles said Darnold had no soreness in the foot Thursday, and wouldn't rule out starting the rookie even if he's limited Friday."I'll see how he feels, how it goes and how he looks in practice," Bowles said, "and I'll make that determination."McCown is dealing with a sore hand and back. His right hand was cut when he banged it on a helmet during the Jets' loss last Sunday to New England. McCown played through it, though, and could be in line for his third straight start if Darnold isn't ready to play.Bowles didn't seem overly concerned about the quarterback situation and whether it puts the Jets in a tough situation by having two of them limited at practice at this point in the practice week."No," Bowles said simply, "we're good."New York got some positive news on the injury front with wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) and running back Trenton Cannon (hamstring) both returning to practice on a limited basis after sitting out Wednesday. Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) had a full practice a day after being limited.Andre Roberts, New York's primary returner on special teams, was limited with a foot issue — a new injury Thursday."He was sore," Bowles said. "He was nicked up a little bit, so we kind of held him back some."On defense, it appears safety Marcus Maye will miss his second straight game with shoulder and thumb injuries. He didn't practice again Thursday and Bowles acknowledged "it doesn't look good" for the second-year player's chances of playing.Linebacker Jordan Jenkins (shoulder) had a full practice a day after being limited.

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 #50 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.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67972/jets-week-5-game-ball-isaiah-crowell Mon, 03 Jun 2019 02:32:13 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67972/jets-week-5-game-ball-isaiah-crowell <![CDATA[Jets Week 5 Game Ball: Isaiah Crowell]]>  The Jets won on Sunday Dennis Byrd Jerseys Stitched , which means it is our happy duty to award a game ball.There were plenty of standout performances which would merit game ball consideration on most weeks, including those of Robby Anderson and Leonard Williams.

He needed only 15 carries to get those yards Youth Mark Gastineau Jerseys , leaving him with a ridiculous 14.6 yard average per carry. He became just the fourth player in NFL history to exceed 200 yards in a single game with 15 or fewer carries.The Jets have been quite open that they believe the key to success on offense is through running the football. They don’t want to put too much on the plate of their rookie quarterback, which requires rushing the football effectively.Things went according to plan this week, mainly because of Crowell.

(AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers have signed kicker Nick Rose ahead of Sunday’s AFC playoff game against New England.Rose is expected to handle kickoffs for the divisional-round game. Michael Badgley has made 20 of 22 field goals during the regular season and playoffs but only 15 percent of his kickoffs have resulted in touchbacks (9 of 60), a league low. Rose had a 71 percent touchback rate (32 of 47) in 10 games with the Redskins and Chargers last season.Patriots kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson averaged nearly 29 yards per return during the regular season, third in the league.Rose was with the Chargers for two games last season. He was 1 of 3 on field goals and 5 of 6 on extra points.The Chargers waived running back Troymaine Pope to make room for Rose.Dez Bryant to the Patriots makes way too much sense to happen The Patriots should sign Dez Bryant. It couldn’t be more obvious.Which is why it’s not going to happen.If there’s one thing that has been consistent about the Patriots’ trades, draft picks, and acquisitions over the years Womens Montee Ball Jersey , it’s that there has been no consistency whatsoever and more often than not nobody has any idea what’s going on over at One Patriot Place. Bill Belichick makes the moves that he thinks is best for the team, and that’s all there is to it. Every prediction, every mock draft, every ideal trade partner...they almost always end up completely useless as the Patriots zig when we all think they are going to zag. With very few exceptions, when the peanut gallery thinks the Patriots should do something http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-troy-niklas-jersey , it’s all but a certainty that they will not be doing that thing.The Patriots are very thin at receiver. They just released Kenny Britt. Julian Edelman will miss a quarter of the season. They could use someone to come in to give the offense a layer that they just don’t have right now - perhaps an athletic, versatile veteran who has had some issues both on and off the field as of late and who would do well to come to a team known for rehabbing troubled players. Maybe someone who recently said that Tom Brady is his favorite player, is looking to play for a contender, and will likely sign a low-money, incentive laden deal in order to show the rest of the league that he’s still got it. Someone like...oh Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey , I don’t know...Dez Bryant?To be honest, I’m not the biggest Bryant fan in the world. He has trouble getting separation, his route tree is a bit limited, and he clearly has shown himself to be difficult at times. But I also think that New England has absolutely nothing to lose bringing him in on a one year prove it deal, as he’s a physical force that defenses absolutely have to account for even if all he does is run a Go Route on ever single snap. And Bryant has everything to gain signing that one year prove it deal; he could get a legit shot at a Super Bowl and show the league that he can be a team player and make a difference in an offense.The move makes all the sense in the world. It’s a move that anyone would make in Bill Belichick’s position. But since this is the Patriots Womens Phillip Dorsett Jersey , and a surefire way to ensure a move never happens is to predict that move, we should all probably just stop talking about it now. Because it’s not happening.EDITOR’S NOTE: When the Patriots sign Bryant early next week after the Panthers game, feel free to give me all the credit. I’m wrong about everything, so this article just put things back on the right track.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67958/bj-hill-jerseys-2019 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 01:44:11 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67958/bj-hill-jerseys-2019 <![CDATA[B.J.

Hill Jerseys 2019 , Week 17New York Giants NewsNew Giants’ wide receiver Golden Tate likes what he has seen so farNew,20commentsThe Giants’ newest receiver says his new teammates came in ready to workEDTShareTweetShareShareNew Giants’ wide receiver Golden Tate likes what he has seen so farRaj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsPretty much every fan of the New York Giants would have been shocked if you had told them at the start of the 2019 off-season that the Giants’ top free agent acquisition would be a wide receiver. Most assumed that the Giants would be spending their money on the offensive line. But that is just what happened when the Giants signed Golden Tate to help fill out their receiving corps and give Eli Manning another weapon in the passing game.Tate was one of the players to speak with the media in the round of press conferences that marked the opening of the Giants’ off-season program, and he offered insights as a veteran player joining a young locker room. On being a Giant“It’s been fun,” Tate said when asked what his first week as a Giant has been. He added, “Really just trying to focus on how to get to my locker, how to get to the cafeteria, where to park, all the things that will hopefully become natural in a few weeks. It’s been great. You can already tell we have a really, really good, solid locker room. Speaking for receivers, who I’ve spent most of my time with working out and in meetings, those guys have done a phenomenal job of welcoming me, trying to help me with any guidance I need, with living situations, or understanding the material that we have so far. It’s been great. I just look forward to keep building relationships with these guys, because these are the guys I’ll be spending most of my time with over the next four years. We have high expectations for our group individually. We’re just going to work.”Tate has only been in the Giants’ facilities for four days White Kyle Lauletta Jerseys , but he says that a camaraderie is already forming in the locker room.“Just speaking with the receivers, those guys just absolutely welcomed me in. Sometimes, you deal with envy and instant competition within the group. Everyone in the locker room I would introduce myself and right away I’m having chats with guys that lasted two or three minutes, because we didn’t have enough time. You can see the guys who want to be here, the guys who want to win, and that’s important. That’s just what I can sense after four days.”On Saquon BarkleyWhile the Giants signed Tate shortly after trading Beckham, he can’t be called a replacement. Tate won’t be the engine that makes the Giants’ offense run — that will be running back Saquon Barkley. And after getting to be around the reigning rookie of the year, Tate is impressed.Though where most would be impressed with Barkley the athlete, Tate seems more impressed with Barkley the competitor.“I get caught staring at that dude, I’m not going to lie to you,” Tate said. “This dude is, just over the last four days, over the top competitive, and I love it. I’m talking about -- we’re doing broad jumps, he’s over there, ‘How much you broad jump? Oh Kyle Lauletta Jerseys 2019 , I got you.’ Bench press, ‘Oh Russ, what did you do here? Oh, I killed that.’ We were playing Connect Four yesterday, and he beat me in five tries. I haven’t played in a while. I wanted a rematch, and he beat me again. You can see that guy is competitive with everything. It reminds me of a young me. It’s either you’re competing, or you’re not competing in everything you do. You can just see it. Hopefully, that catches on to other guys. We’re a team full of competitors. I think it’s great, healthy competition that he’s bringing, and that’s what you want. The guy is obviously a phenomenal talent. I think he has the potential to be one of the best backs to ever play the game. He’s bringing the mentality and the mindset that a championship type organization needs.”The Giants’ players careIt is still just the start of the Giants’ off-season program. There are still weeks of OTAs to go before we even get to mini-camp, let alone training camp. But while it will take time for the team to get into “football shape”, Tate says that the receiver room is already in shape. “Yeah, I would say that’s usually the case, especially in April [that players always come in wanting to work] but looking at the work ethic and just hearing about what guys were doing before April, what they were doing to get better to come in and give themselves the best chance to compete at a high level. You can tell, for instance White Evan Engram Jerseys , (WR) Cody Latimer, one of the guys I was sitting next to, and he’s just absolutely worked his ass off this offseason trying to get back. You can just see it in his eyes. Before he does a set of exercises or reps in the weight room, or after he gets done, he’s like, ‘I’m not playing this year, I’m ready.’ You can see that fire. Some people you can just see the fire, and that’s what you can see with him, and a few other guys. (Sterling Shepard) Shep came in in tip-top shape, seems like he’s in tip-top shape, (WR) Russell Shepard has been awesome. If you ever get to talk to him, he is hilarious. Guys are just working. You can tell that they didn’t start working out just on Monday, which tells your ‘give a crap level’ is high.” Good morning, New York Giants fans!Baker Mayfield vs. Saquon Barkley: Who's NFL's offensive rookie of year? | ESPNESPN makes the case for each player.

(AP) — The locker room was eerily quiet as New York Jets players got dressed, packed their bags and headed for the exits.Their 41-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday was as ugly as it gets. And it further cast doubts on the future of coach Todd Bowles."Everything that could've gone wrong," Bowles said, "went wrong." The hot seat under Bowles reached a boiling point as the Jets (3-7) got completely manhandled by a Bills team that was led by Matt Barkley , who hadn't started in nearly two years, and entered with a league-low 96 points and had two touchdowns in its previous four games.New York has now lost four in a row heading into its bye-week break. Whether Bowles will still be in charge when the Jets play again on Nov. 25 against New England seems immediately uncertain. But the coach spoke like a man approaching things like business as usual."We're going to take a long, hard look at everything this week, coaches and players," Bowles said. "We're going to try like hell to win our last six games."This loss, and the way it went down, could give owner Christopher Johnson pause when evaluating the future. It has seemed like a forgone conclusion to many that Bowles would not be back after the season. This latest loss, though, had many wondering if the coach will be back after Sunday.Johnson declined comment to reporters after the game when asked if he was considering a change.Many of the players insisted that the struggles can be attributed to lots of people, not just Bowles."T-Bowles is not the problem Eddie Yarbrough Jerseys 2019 ," safety Jamal Adams said. "I'm going to ride with T-Bowles until the end. I don't care what the fans say. It's T-Bowles. I'm going to support my coach through thick and thin."Well, consider this the thinnest of thin.New York started 39-year-old Josh McCown in place of injured rookie Sam Darnold, but he couldn't prevent a brutal loss in front of a frustrated fan base that booed lustily throughout.McCown was 17 of 34 for 135 yards with two interceptions, and the Jets finished with just 199 total yards."That's the first time I felt like somebody really smacked us," cornerback Morris Claiborne said, "and we didn't do nothing about it."Barkley sparked Buffalo's bumbling offense with two touchdown passes, including one to offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, LeSean McCoy broke out of a season-long slump with 113 yards rushing and a pair of TD runs, and the Bills (3-7) were in control before many fans had settled into their seats.On Barkley's first play, he launched a 47-yard pass to Robert Foster. On the next play, Barkley handed off to LeSean McCoy, who scored his first touchdown of the season with a 28-yard run that gave Buffalo a 7-0 lead 49 seconds in."Honestly, we didn't expect to come out there like that," Adams said. "We didn't expect this game to go like that. We didn't come out there and execute."Barkley and the Bills took a 14-0 lead midway through the opening quarter on a fluky play. On third-and-7 from the 11 White Jordan Mills Jerseys , Zay Jones caught a pass and took it 10 yards before fumbling as he reached for the goal line. Tight end Jason Croom recovered in the end zone for a touchdown that was upheld by video review.The 14-play, 73-play drive was prolonged by a fake punt on fourth-and-6 from the Bills 47 when the ball was snapped directly to tight end Logan Thomas, a quarterback at Virginia Tech. Thomas then completed a 19-yard pass to Foster for the first down."I don't feel like anybody quit," Claiborne said. "I just feel like the way the game went, it was their day coaching and their day playing."Perhaps the biggest sign of that came midway through the second quarter when Dawkins lined up as an eligible receiver on first-and-goal from the 7. Barkley, of course, found the 6-foot-5, 320-pound lineman wide open for a touchdown."We got our (butts) kicked," Adams said. "It's as simple as that."The boos from the frustrated fans at MetLife Stadium got louder at that point, and eventually turned into chants of "Bye Bye Todd!"Claiborne said he didn't hear those, but insisted he is standing by his coach."I have Todd's back, 100 percent," Claiborne said. "He's a guy who definitely knows football, knows what he's talking about and knows how to coach his players. … I have nothing but love for him. Where we're at is where we're at right now. We're trying to win with who we've got right now Jordan Mills Jerseys 2019 , period, point blank." The Buffalo Bills made what they thought was a big splash in free agency when the team signed tight end Charles Clay to a five-year, $38 million contract with $24.5 million guaranteed during the 2015 off-season. The results, especially during the 2018 season, have been underwhelming. In four seasons in Western New York, Clay has caught 178 passes for 1,822 yards with nine touchdowns, numbers that mirror his four years with the Miami Dolphins (161 receptions for 1,809 yards with 14 touchdowns). Last year, Clay regressed big-time, catching 21 passes (on only 36 targets) for 184 yards and no touchdowns—the first season where Clay was held without a touchdown catch. It was his lowest catch output since 2012, his second year in the league, and it represented a career-low in receiving yards. Clay did miss three games due to injury and has missed ten games over the last four years in Buffalo. Prior to the 2018 season, Clay had been targeted at least 70 times in each of the last five seasons. With a base salary of $4.5 million and a cap hit of $9 million White Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys , the Bills are paying a lot of money for a player who underachieved in 2018, but the Bills could move on from Clay’s contract and be on the hook for only $4.5 million. So, could the Bills move on from Clay before the 2019 season? Internally, there are two other tight ends under team control heading into the 2019 season: Jason Croom and Logan Thomas.Croom actually led Buffalo’s tight ends in receptions (22), yards (259), and touchdowns (one) last year, appearing in 15 games (three starts). Croom, 24, was more than serviceable in the blocking game, and he was more than capable in his route-running. Croom, who was a wide receiver at the University of Tennessee, was a pre-season breakout candidate last year, and should have an even bigger role in Brian Daboll’s offense in 2019—especially with how Croom (6-foot-5) can present match-up problems to the opposition. Croom would make a logical replacement for Clay if the Bills decide to part ways with the veteran. Thomas, 27 Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys 2019 , caught 12 passes (17 targets) for 77 yards in 12 games (three starts). The former collegiate quarterback at Virginia Tech has oozed potential, but that potential has yet to translate onto the field as Thomas has struggled in the blocking sector. A restricted free agent, Thomas appears unlikely to head into the season as the favorite to win the starting tight-end job. While Clay is the more established tight end, he also costs more than his productivity merits. With Josh Allen entering his second year, he will need all of the offensive weapons he can get, and at this stage of their careers, Croom appears to be the best internal bet to start at tight end in 2019. For a Bills team that needs to get more out of their tight ends, it would make sense for the Bills to release Clay and give Croom a chance to show what he can bring to the offense.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67687/if-a-rookie-of-the-year-doesn%E2%80%99t-sway-that-mindset Thu, 30 May 2019 05:41:17 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67687/if-a-rookie-of-the-year-doesn%E2%80%99t-sway-that-mindset <![CDATA["If a Rookie of the Year doesn’t sway that mindset]]>  Deandre Baker Buffalo Bills Jersey , then I don’t know what will""Good morning, New York Giants fans!Barkley still answering QB questionsSaquon Barkley had a historic rookie season and earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2018. Yet, Thursday he was still being asked about the idea some believe the Giants should have selected a quarterback second overall a year ago instead of taking him.“I don’t care for their opinions or anything, I can’t change those opinions,” Barkley said. “Not being cocky or anything, but if a Rookie of the Year doesn’t sway that mindset, then I don’t know what will. My mindset is to continue to prove to the people in this locker room and in this building that they got the right guy. Not only the right guy because I can break off an 80-yard touchdown, because there are a lot of people in the league that can do that. But as a guy that can buy in and take that leadership role, I believe that I have been able to show that so far and I have been able to take that to a whole different level.”Evan Engram: Opportunity for receiversTight end Evan Engram was asked on Thursday if the team had enough receiving talent with Odell Beckham Jr. no longer on the team.“Definitely -- I think Odell is a one-of-a-kind talent. I think he’s the best receiver in the league Infant Daniel Jones Jersey , hands down, but we got guys ready to step up. We got guys ready that are here now that are going to come in here and make this team better,” Engram said. “The message to the locker room is for guys to prepare and get ready for the big opportunities that are going to come with him gone.”Jabrill Peppers learned from his strugglesGiants safety Jabrill Peppers, a key acquisition in the Beckham trade, rebounded last season after a rough rookie year with the Cleveland Browns. He said he learned from the adversity of his rookie season.“When you’re going through a lot of adversity, you definitely learn some things. I was on the back end of a lot of plays, and it taught me what not to do. Trust myself a lot more, be myself out there,” Peppers said. “My second year Daniel Jones Jersey Draft , they put me a little closer to the line – I also still played free (safety) a little bit – but I was definitely more aggressive, more in tune to the game and I think that’s what showed on tape.”Lorenzo Carter not worried about pass rushThe Giants are expected to bolster their pass rush during the draft. Lorenzo Carter, an edge player drafted in the third round a year ago, isn’t worried about the lack of sacks from players on the current roster or the idea the Giants will add someone who plays his position.“There were not a lot of NFL sacks out there and if we draft someone, that won’t increase the number of NFL sacks either. It doesn’t matter. I don’t think about stuff like that. I just think about how I can make myself and my team better,” Carter said. “Sacks are going to come. Sacks are the things that people over analyze and like to look at a lot. If we play the way we are suppose to play and work fast and hard, it is going to come. Everything will fall into place. I am not worried about trying to add sacks to the team. It will come.”BBV MailbagHave questions about the Giants?

The move lowers Zeitler’s 2019 base salary to $2.5 million with a $2.5 million of his now converted base pushing his total 2019 cap hit to $5 million.Overall, the move clears $5 million off the 2019 Giants cap. New York, who had recently dipped to under $9 million in space following a flurry of moves, now has $14.555 million in cap space Daniel Jones NFL Draft , per the NFLPA web site. That should be plenty of money to get their upcoming draft class signed and to add a post-draft veteran free agent or two, if they so choose.When a player is traded to another team, his old team absorbs whatever money is left as part of the contract’s original prorated signing bonus in the form of dead money. That means that the Browns absorbed the remaining $12 million of Zeitler’s signing bonus after trading him to the Giants in exchange for edge rusher Olivier Vernon last month.By restructuring Zeitler’s contract, the Giants have added $2.5 million per year in 2020 and 2021, making Zeitler’s new cap numbers $12.5 million in 2020 (from $10 million) and $14.5 million in 2021 (from $12 million) but those bumps are modest.Per Over the Cap, the Giants 2019 rookie draft salary pool is estimated at $13.798 million. However, with the Top 51 cap rule currently in place through the end of the preseason, as rookies are signed, they will likely knock some of the lower priced veterans on the back end of the Top 51 out of the equation.For example Daniel Jones Buffalo Bills Jersey , if a rookie has a $1 million cap hit, he would bump a player who has a $600,000 cap hit, meaning the next change in the cap space is only $400,000.According to NFL salary cap rules, all signing bonuses given to draft picks count against the cap in their prorated form.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67686/which-players-interest-younfl-network%E2%80%99s-daniel Thu, 30 May 2019 03:55:05 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67686/which-players-interest-younfl-network%E2%80%99s-daniel <![CDATA[Which players interest you?"NFL Network’s Daniel]]> Jeremiah spoke about the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft and answered a few questions about the New England Patriots. Jeremiah believes that the Patriots’ advantage of having both Bill Belichick and Tom Brady atop the franchise makes it easier for other pieces to fall into place- and what pieces they should be looking for.Jeremiah also added another Patriots tidbit when discussing the Iowa tight ends. He believes that T.J. Hockenson is a top 15 pick Authentic Byron Cowart Jersey , while Fant is the player more likely to be available for New England.There’s a fair question whether or not Fant makes sense for the Patriots who, despite his exemplary physical abilities, was not considered an every-down tight end by Belichick confidant and Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz. Perhaps waiting for a Smith or Jace Sternberger in the second round would make more economic sense than taking Fant in the first.Jeremiah also discussed three midround quarterbacks that could be available for the Patriots in Duke’s Daniel Jones, N.C. State’s Ryan Finley, and Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham, and whether the Patriots might be more interested in acquiring draft capital for next year’s draft class.Personally, I would take Finley over the other two players, even if they were all on the board at the same time. I have a third round grade on both Jones and Finley and think Finley is a better prospect, albeit a relatively limited one (high-end back-up caliber).And, honestly, I think a player like Will Grier would be a better addition than any of those three and would be willing to take him in the second round, just like they did with Jimmy Garoppolo. Tight end and quarterback are both positions of import for the Patriots and Jeremiah’s feedback is helpful to paint a picture of the draft landscape. New England will not be able to get the top tier talent at either position. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good players that will be available later in the draft. The losing has slowed, but hasn't stopped for the ever-rebuilding Browns. They're in the midst of yet another coaching search, and the NFL playoffs are likely to come and go without them again this season 鈥?the 16th straight postseason since their most recent appearance.But as Cleveland hit its bye week, and with six games left in another season going nowhere, optimism abounds around a franchise that has had little to celebrate over the past 25 years.The dark days of despair are dwindling.Baker Mayfield is making them go away.The fearless rookie quarterback with the contagious personality, touchdown-making skills and trash-talking bravado, has the Browns 鈥?and their long-suffering fans 鈥?believing."It's not everything, but it's everything White Drew Bledsoe Jerseys ," guard Joel Bitonio said with a smile when asked about Mayfield's magnetism and positive influence. "You've got to have a quarterback to win in the NFL and it hasn't been perfect, but to have him out there with you, there's always that hope that, 'Hey, we have a chance to win this game.'"The No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, Mayfield is changing the Browns (3-6-1) with his actions on and off the field. He's already endured years of chaos in just 10 games as Cleveland has changed coaches, traded its top playmaker (Josh Gordon) and leading rusher (Carlos Hyde), suffered numerous injuries and a few of those punch-in-the stomach losses that the Browns have seemingly mastered.But every time the Browns have taken a hard hit, Mayfield has responded with one of his own."We've got a quarterback who knows how to fight," said defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah. "You want to play for a guy like that who inspires you. He comes to the defensive side of the ball like, 'Hey, we're still in this. Just give me one more chance out there.' Guys on defense love that. They love a quarterback who can go out there and make a promise and say, 'Hey, I've got your back.'"Mayfield, who has gotten better every week, hasn't won the respect of his teammates. He's earned it.The Browns didn't hand the starting job to Mayfield, who began the season in a backup role before starter Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion in Week 3 against the New York Jets on national TV. Mayfield came in and led the Browns to their first win since 2016, snapping a 19-game winless streak and providing a preview of bigger things to come.It hasn't been perfect so far. Mayfield has made his share of rookie mistakes, forcing passes Drew Bledsoe Jerseys 2019 , holding onto the ball too long, missing open receivers. But in the past four games, Mayfield has completed 69 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions.Despite winning the Heisman Trophy and going 33-6 as a starter at Oklahoma, Mayfield wasn't considered the top prospect in this year's ballyhooed rookie QB class, which includes Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Josh Allen. Mayfield was too short, too cocky, too much a product of Sooners coach Lincoln Riley's system.Well, Mayfield has outperformed the other rookies across the board."He's developing as a quarterback," said Browns general manager John Dorsey, the man who went out on a limb and picked Mayfield. "He is still a rookie quarterback. He has demonstrated certain things during the course of a game that get you excited. I think that if you would ask him as a person, he still has a lot more football to master the position that he plays. I think he will continue to do that."Last week, after being encouraged by interim coach Gregg Williams and his teammates to "cut it loose and play," Mayfield delivered the signature performance and victory of his fledgling pro career.He completed his first 13 passes, finished 17 of 20 with three touchdown passes and outplayed Atlanta quarterback and 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan as the Browns ended a four-game losing streak with a 28-16 win.Following the game, Mayfield smiled and said he woke up "feeling dangerous" before de-feathering the Falcons, who had their playoff hopes severely shaken.The comment might have come off as cocky to some, but it was Mayfield at his playful and bragging best, displaying the swagger that made him a college superstar and has endeared him to his Cleveland teammates.Make no mistake White Steve Grogan Jerseys , at 23 and only 10 games into his NFL life, Mayfield is the Browns' undisputed leader, the tone-setter."He's taken the role head-first, never looking back," said rookie running back Nick Chubb, who rushed for 176 yards in the win. "He brings that energy and burst that we need. This team will follow him anywhere. He is just a great leader, and you know no matter what is going on around us or outside noise just the bad stuff that has not gone well for us, he is going to give us all 100 percent and he is not going to let it affect him."We like that in our quarterback and our leader, and he is fiercely competitive. He gives 100 percent every play. Just being on the team with him, everyone just likes it and loves him and loves who he is."The praise from Chubb and others fuel him."To me, there is nothing better than that," Mayfield said. "As a quarterback, and as somebody that wants to be a leader of this team, it does not get better than that."In Cleveland, things are getting a lot better.]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67685/jets-film-mashup-jets-lions-who-have-met Thu, 30 May 2019 03:36:03 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67685/jets-film-mashup-jets-lions-who-have-met <![CDATA[Jets Film Mashup: Jets & Lions who have met]]> in the past With the Jets getting set to visit the Detroit Lions this Monday night http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-keyshawn-johnson-jersey , I decided to take a look back at instances in the past where players on each side of the matchup have met up on the field.Golden Tate vs. Buster SkrineSkrine’s matchup with elite slot receiver Golden Tate is going to be key in this game. The two have only met once before - in 2011, when Skrine was a Browns rookie and Tate was a second-year Seahawk. Tate caught his only target matched up against Skrine, an eleven-yard first down.Way back in this time period, the Browns had better uniforms than the Seahawks. What a world it was.Skrine and Tate back in 2011.Matt Stafford & Golden Tate vs. the 2014 JetsThe last meeting between these two teams was in Week 4 of 2014 Brent Qvale Jersey , when the Lions took a 24-17 win at MetLife to move to 3-1 and drop the Jets to 1-3. Stafford threw for 293 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions, adding a rushing score. Tate caught 8 passes for 116 yards.Here’s a clip that should bring back some not-so-fond memories. Tate schools David Harris 1-on-1 out of the slot Womens Marcus Maye Jersey , and then breezes by a whiffing Calvin Pryor.Isaiah Crowell vs. the 2017 LionsCrowell met up with the Lions for the first time last season, gaining 90 yards on the ground over 16 carries (5.6 yards per attempt) and scoring one touchdown.Here’s an impressive 21-yard run from Crowell in that game. On the second level, he eludes star safety Glover Quin.Trumaine Johnson vs. Golden TateJohnson and Tate have faced one another five times in their careers - as they both played in the NFC West from 2012-13. Here, Johnson wins a jump ball against Tate in the end zone.Leonard Williams vs. Ricky WagnerWilliams has already met face-to-face with one of the five starting linemen he’ll see Monday night; current Lions and former Ravensright tackle Ricky Wagner. When the Jets defeated the Ravens back in 2016 http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-kelechi-osemele-jersey , Williams beat Wagner twice for impact plays, once for a stuff in the run game and another time for a hit on Joe Flacco forcing an incomplete pass, seen below. The war of words between former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and his protege JuJu Smith-Schuster is heating up, but another relationship between a former Steeler and his young replacement is going much better.While Brown was sharing a screenshot of a message he once received from Smith-Schuster in an attempt to belittle him Brandon Copeland Jersey , former Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell shared a message he received from James Conner. It was a nice message from Conner, wishing Bell well.“What’s up bro,” Conner’s message began. “Just reaching out, social media got dudes acting crazy and it got me thinkin you was always a real one Womens Chris Herndon Jersey , never talked bad about nobody and was always solid. I appreciate that! Congrats on the new deal you weathered the storm and came out stronger.”Bell said that meant a lot to him.“I usually don鈥檛 post private conversations…but this txt just hit me so differently…I love youu to death bro,” Bell wrote.Unlike Brown and Smith-Schuster, Bell and Conner have a bond that can last even when their time as teammates is over.

I hope everyone’s having a great start to their day. You know the news for the team is slow when the Jets start mentioning, of all people, Parry Nickerson’s 2018 Combine numbers. Nothing against Nickerson, as he is a lightning quick CB (and I’m actually higher on him than most). It just shows how much dead air there is during this time of the year. A couple of veteran wide receivers have been released in Michael Crabtree and Randall Cobb, and I’d like to see the Jets try to take a swing at these guys instead of holding onto someone like Jermaine Kearse. Hopefully, Maccagnan is smart with this money and instead of opting for some of the largest FA names, he’s able to get guys that can fill roles in the systems in place by Gase and Williams. Although it’s cliche to talk about emulating the Patriots, I think their approach to team-building is common sense, and I’m honestly surprised more teams don’t go this route. However Jermaine Kearse Jerseys 2019 , it’s easy to say when the team has had a great QB and coach for the greater part of this century. The Jets will be there again.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets‘ defense is getting its leader back.Coach Todd Bowles announced Monday that defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers is returning to work this week after missing the past two games while dealing with an unspecified illness .“He’s been cleared and he should be ready to go,” Bowles said during a conference call. “We’ll ease him in slowly depending on how he feels, but he’s doing a lot better.”Bowles added that Rodgers will coach Sunday in the Jets’ game against Minnesota, but said it’s uncertain to know so early in the week if Rodgers will call the defensive plays. Bowles has run the defense the past two weeks, victories over Denver and Indianapolis.The 49-year-old Rodgers was at MetLife Stadium on Sunday for the win over the Colts and broke down the team huddle in the locker room after the game.“He’s a great spirit,” nose tackle Steve McLendon said. “He’s a great coach. For me Brandon Shell Jerseys 2019 , it’s always awesome to see a guy come back, especially with all the things that he’s been through in the past few weeks. He gets to come back to the game that he loves. As long as he has health, that’s all that matters.”Rodgers had a medical appointment on Oct. 4 and was not with the team for practice the following day, when a somber Bowles revealed that Rogers was dealing with what he characterized as a “serious” illness. Rodgers had not been at practice since.“Any time you get somebody who gets sick on you or has some type of illness, you worry about him wholeheartedly,” Bowles said. “The job doesn’t matter, it’s all about the person, getting healthy. It’s a big relief for us.”]]> liny https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67597/the-new-england-patriots-might-be-playing-their-most Tue, 28 May 2019 02:19:44 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/67597/the-new-england-patriots-might-be-playing-their-most <![CDATA[The New England Patriots might be playing their most]]> interesting game of the season on Sunday night.The Pats will be welcoming the undefeated Lawrence Guy Jerseys 2019 , red hot Kansas City Chiefs to Gillette Stadium, and they will attempt to figure out a way to slow down Patrick Mahomes and the seemingly unstoppable Kansas City offense. As of right now, the 5-0 Chiefs are the best team in the AFC, and Mahomes already looks like a superstar.Luckily for the Patriots, they are fresh off of two home victories against the Dolphins and the Colts, and they’ve got plenty of momentum heading into Sunday night’s game. But one thing is for sure: this game will tell us a lot about who owns the AFC. If the Patriots can find a way to win this game, it will show that they are still the team to beat in this conference. If the Chiefs win, it might serve as a ceremonial passing of the torch.There’s no doubt that this will be the most must-see game of Week 6, so don’t miss it under any circumstances. With that being said, let’s breeze through some picks for the rest of the Week 6 slate鈥?Home teams in caps, and lines courtesy of OddsShark.com)Cardinals (+10) over VIKINGSI’m definitely going to regret this pick White Rex Burkhead Jerseys , but 10 points is a pretty big spread, the Vikings have been a disappointment so far this season (they’ve yet to win back-to-back games), and the previously dreadful Cardinals seem to be slightly better with Josh Rosen at quarterback over Sam Bradford. After all, Rosen did finally get them a win last week at San Francisco. I’m taking the underdog to cover.Bills (+10) over TEXANSOnce again, I’m grabbing the underdog and I’m going to regret it. This Bills team is confusing; they definitely aren’t good, but they’ve somehow managed to pull off wins in two of their last three games. Does that make sense?Meanwhile, the Texans have underachieved big time (2-3 with their two wins coming overtime against sub .500 teams). Taking a loss, or at least an overtime win, over Buffalo this week would fit right into this weird season of theirs. Panthers (+1) over REDSKINSOh, look at this. I’m picking a road underdog for the third time in a row. But seriously, don’t be fooled because the Redskins are favored by a point. The Panthers are a couple of rungs above of the Redskins on the NFC ladder Rex Burkhead Jerseys 2019 , due in large part to having the No. 1 ranked rushing attack in the league at 154 yards per game.That’s because they don’t only have a top tier running back in Christian McCaffery, but Cam Newton is also one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the league, even for a big guy. Panthers are taking this one.Bears (-3.5) over DOLPHINSAfter starting the season at 3-0, the Dolphins were brought back to earth in Week 4 by the Patriots, and they stayed on earth against the Bengals in Week 5. Now in Week 6, they are about to actually get hammered into the earth by that nasty Chicago Bears defense, which is currently second in the league with 18 sacks and 11 forced turnovers.JETS (-2.5) over ColtsRolling with the Jets here for two reasons: they are at home, and the Colts do not feature one of the NFL’s premier defensive units. Indy is allowing 27.6 points per game.BROWNS (+1) over ChargersHere is something completely and totally crazy to think about: If it wasn’t for just a couple of small plays going a little differently here and there, the Browns could easily be 5-0 right now. Cleveland obviously isn’t winning any Super Bowls this year, but Baker Mayfield is changing the football culture in this city. The time is now to jump on the bandwagon.Steelers (+2) over BENGALSCincy is 4-1, but most of their games this year could’ve gone either way. Pittsburgh is finally starting to get things together after a slow start White Adam Butler Jerseys , and a good portion of that is due to the talents of running back James Conner. Against the Falcons last week, Conner rushed for 110 yards and racked up 75 receiving yards. He’s helping to keep the Steelers afloat. Meanwhile, I will take Big Ben over Andy Dalton all day, every day.Seahawks (-2.5) over RAIDERSBefore this season, I had faith in Jon Gruden 鈥?for some odd reason that I still can’t figure out. He has turned this Raiders team into an absolute joke. I really shouldn’t be surprised.Oh, and this is also one of those ridiculous international games. London deserves to get Jon Gruden’s team for thinking they should be able to host NFL games.Buccaneers (+3) over FALCONSThe 1-4 Falcons are a mess, and Jameis Winston is back for Tampa Bay. Perfect opportunity to grab the underdog 鈥?because I haven’t already done that enough this week.Rams (-7) over BRONCOSRams, baby. All day, every day.Also, at least one Robert Woods touchdown could potentially help my fantasy team get to 6-0, if Los Angeles needs a little extra motivation.Ravens (-2.5) over TITANSThis probably the most evenly-matched game this week. I’ll go with Baltimore here Adam Butler Jerseys 2019 , just because Joe Flacco is currently on pace for almost 5,000 passing yards this year. He’s doing his best to protect his job from Lamar Jackson.Jaguars (-3) over COWBOYSYou know the Cowboys are in trouble when Ezekiel Elliott is responsible for 41 percent of their offensive production. The kid is obviously very good, but he can’t make this team win on his own.Chiefs (+3.5) over PATRIOTSDon’t miss the game of the week on Sunday Night Football. Bill Belichick is obviously the greatest defensive coach in the history of football, but he’s going to have to cook up something pretty spectacular if he’s going to slow down this juggernaut Chiefs offense.49ers (+9.5) over PACKERSI might be nuts, but 9.5 points seems like a lot for a 2-2-1 Green Bay team. If it wasn’t for Aaron Rodgers, the Packers would probably be 0-5. For the second year in a row, Green Bay might not even be a playoff team. It’s not exactly breaking news that the Patriots have dominated the AFC East during Tom Brady‘s time as their starting quarterback. But the extent of the dominance is extraordinary.If New England wins on Sunday at Miami, the Patriots will clinch the AFC East for the 10th consecutive year. They won’t just be the only NFL team to win a division 10 years in a row, but they’ll be just the second team in any of the four major North American sports leagues to win a division 10 years in a row. Only the Atlanta Braves, who won their division every year from 1995 through 2005, have done it before.The Patriots won the AFC East in 2001 White Elandon Roberts Jerseys , Brady’s first year as their starter, then finished second in 2002. They won it again in 2003 and have won it every year since then except for 2008, when Tom Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week One and they finished second in the division. This is Brady’s 17th season as the Patriots’ primary starting quarterback, and he’s poised to win his 16th division title.The Patriots are an incredible 205-58 in regular-season games that Brady starts. To put that in perspective, consider this: Drew Brees has had an amazing career and played on lots of good teams. But if Brees goes 50-0 in his next 50 games, and Brady goes 0-50 in his next 50 games, Brady will still have a better career record.What the Patriots have accomplished since Brady became their starter in 2001 is the most sustained run of excellence we’ve ever seen.
