On Wednesday morning, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone met with the media at the combine and fielded some questions.Obviously the big thing of interest is the quarterback position, of which Marrone actually didn’t really say a whole lot and didn’t seem to clear the smoke surrounding the position right now. While he didn’t explicitly say it and he was surprisingly not asked about it, it seemed very obvious from his answers that the Jaguars will be moving on from quarterback Blake Bortles as expected.Marrone did mention that when looking for a quarterback he would prefer to have one who is ahead of the rest of the offense and everyone is catching up to them. Meaning that he would like someone who is going to devour whatever the team draws up for a playbook quickly. He’s looking for a high football IQ type of quarterback, be it a veteran or a rookie, and their playbook would be modified/paired down based on whatever they decide to do at the position.He was also asked about what kind of veteran he would be looking for and mentioned that he’s had all kinds in the past, but did specifically mention leadership and helping a young player grow/acclimate to the league.Personally, the feeling I got was that it sounds like their plan is a veteran quarterback plus a rookie, but Marrone does a really good job of saying a whole lot of nothing.

New,10commentsEDTShareTweetShareShareWhich likely undrafted free agents should the Jaguars target on defense? Sick of seeing Jawaan Taylor mocked to the Jacksonville Jaguars? Getting irritated by ESPN mocking safeties on Day 2? Fair enough.Earlier this week, I spotlighted a handful of offensive players whom the Jaguars should consider if they make it to rookie free agency. In this edition, I focus on defense. The Jaguars have found some success in harvesting the undrafted rookie pool Womens Marqise Lee Jersey , an endeavor largely piloted by Senior Vice President of Football Technology & Analytics Tony Khan. Identifying high-upside athletes who stand a good chance of competing for roster spots has been a strength over the last few years, especially when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.Just last year, cornerbacks Quenton Meeks and Tre Herndon ended up making the final roster and look to be bigger contributors heading into their sophomore campaigns, and former UDFA safety Jarrod Wilson was re-signed to a solid contract to replace Tashaun Gipson as the starting free safety in 2019. So who should the Jaguars target?Defensive tackleKenny Bigelow, West VirginiaIf you are a hardcore college football fan who follows recruiting, Bigelow’s name may sound familiar.Along with Ole Miss’ Robert Nkemdiche, Kenny Bigelow was a coveted five-star recruit and played both defensive lineman and tight end positions in high school. Bigelow played his first five seasons at USC where he redshirted his freshman year in 2013 and then missed the 2014 and 2016 seasons with serious knee injuries that caused him to ponder retirement. Mostly a rotational nose tackle who saw limited playing time with the Trojans, Bigelow earned a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA and grad transferred to West Virginia. In his 12 starts in 2018, Bigelow earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors and was runner up for Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year.I mean, just look at his first snap against Tennessee this year:When studying Bigelow, I was astounded by the first step quickness and lower body explosiveness he has for a guy with two major injuries on the same knee. While his medical history would make a team like the Jaguars hesitant to burn a draft pick on him, his upside as a rookie free agent is certainly worth the risk. Bigelow put up 31 reps on the bench at his pro day and also ran a 5.09 forty yard dash for a nose tackle.Personally, I’m a huge fan of Temple DT Michael Dogbe, who I got to check out at East-West Shrine Game, but it just doesn’t seem like Dogbe will go undrafted based on my understanding. Outside of Bigelow and Dogbe Telvin Smith Jersey , Wyoming’s Youhanna Ghaifan, a talented three-technique who declared for the draft early, can be a bargain guy who may slip out of the seven rounds due to a suspension resulting from two misdemeanors stemming from an October altercation with a hotel employee. Ghaifan has draftable tape and is worth taking a flier on.Defensive endJarrell Owens, Oklahoma StateThe Jaguars certainly will be on the hunt for depth for both the strong side defensive end position behind Calais Campbell and weak side defensive end behind Yannick Ngakoue, so it’s likely they will be active in recruiting edge rushers in rookie free agency.Oklahoma State’s Jarrell Owens is a prospect that could vie for that strong side position. A two-sport athlete at Palestine High School in Texas who played running back and defensive end in addition to basketball, Owen was clocked running a 4.70 forty (some scouts I talked to had him at 4.60) and jumping a 39” vert at his pro day – at 265 pounds. Owens is durable and has never missed a game in his Oklahoma State career and shows a good blend of speed, power, and flexibility as a pass rusher when studying his tape. Other edge rushers that may be intriguing as a rookie free agents include Tennessee’s Kyle Phillips, North Carolina’s Malik Carney, Boston College’s Wyatt Ray and UCF’s Titus Davis. Phillips fits the strong side defensive end mold while Carney, Ray, and Davis could challenge for weak side edge rusher. LinebackerTy Summers, TCUSimilar to my crush on UAB wide receiver Xavier Ubosi last week, Ty Summers is the guy I have hearts written all over my notebook on defense.It’s easy to fall in love with Summers the athlete after his impressive showing at the Combine (9.69 RAS), but you really start to get enamored with the person as well when you do research into his background.Summers played as a dual-threat quarterback on offense and safety on defense at Reagan High School in Texas. Described a “weight room animal” and reportedly running the 40 yard dash in the 4.5 range as a freshman http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-t.j.-yeldon-jersey , Summers spent the summer of his senior year with his high school defensive coordinator to learn about linebacker reads upon learning he would be switching to inside linebacker at TCU. Summers would later finish with the second-most tackles in the Gary Patterson era. A team-first guy, Summers was asked to move to defensive end in 2018 and never complained despite it affecting his stock. Summers is a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection and is active in the community off the field, finishing as a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Award.You’re not missing anything, Evan. He’s good. It’s rare that you find a prospect who has played in all three levels on defense. Summers’ experience as a high school safety and quarterback makes him a tremendous processor in coverage as a potential WILL linebacker and his ability to blitz and rush the passer as a defensive end also makes him a great fit as a SAM linebacker for the Jaguars in addition to contributing on special teams.Hopefully a team doesn’t snatch Summers and his athletic profile on day three of the draft. Other fringe linebackers I like for depth for the Jaguars include Northern Illinois’ Sutton Smith (likely to be drafted), North Carolina’s Cole Holcomb, UTSA’s Josiah Tauaefa, and Oklahoma’s Curtis Bolton.CornerbackDuke Shelley, Kansas StateHe’s 5’9”, weighs less than 180 pounds, and doesn’t have elite timed speed. What’s not to like, right?Shelley may not check all the physical and athletic boxes that you’d like from high-upside rookie free agents, but he plays the position like a lion and showed some of the best competitive toughness that I’ve seen in scouting for this draft class. The first true freshman to start at cornerback for Bill Snyder since 2006, Shelley has 31 career pass deflection in 38 career games as a boundary corner for the Wildcats and has returned 2 of his 8 career interceptions for touchdowns. More importantly, he’s dripping with swagger. Look at the ball flip at the end as he stares at the Baylor bench. In zone, Shelley is deliberate in his decision-making to pick up his assignments and even demonstrates some nuance and baiting ability to delay his breaks. Shelley is urgent in undercutting outs and flat routes and shows great enthusiasm and courage in run support despite being undersized. Shelley projects to be a scheme transcendent nickel cornerback due to his football intelligence Womens Ronnie Harrison Jersey , ball skills, playmaking ability, and short area quickness. With D.J. Hayden’s contract structured to be a likely release candidate after 2019, Shelley would provide ideal competition with Tre Herndon to take over at nickel for the Jaguars in 2020.If the Jaguars are looking for longer boundary corners to get in the mix with Meeks, a few prospects I like are Virginia’s Tim Harris, Texas’ Davante Davis, and Kentucky’s Chris Westry. SafetyVaughnte Dorsey, Texas TechThere’s a log jam of late round safeties in this draft and a much more prominent name like Miami’s Sheldrick Redwine or Temple’s Delvon Randall may be available once the dust settles, but I’ll go a little more under the radar with Texas Tech strong safety Vaughnte Dorsey. A JUCO transfer from Gulf Coast Community College, the former high school dual-threat quarterback is a stocky striker in run support who also excels in as a mental processor in zone coverage with plus ball skills. To illustrate his ability to contribute as a balanced safety in both coverage and run support, Dorsey finished second in the Big 12 in interceptions (4) in 2018 and also had 11 tackles in one game in a great showing against Oklahoma. Dorsey also adds a wrinkle as a blitzer and does a good job of timing the snap with great closing speed and pursuit angles to run down even the best athletes at quarterback (Kyler Murray). Dorsey is an ideal scheme fit as an interchangeable safety in the Jaguars 4-3 system and could challenge C.J. Reavis for a final roster spot.Other fringe safeties I’m high on include Troy’s Cedarius Rookard and West Virginia’s Toyous Avery.Which defensive UDFAs are you high on?

EDTShareTweetShareShareFalcons draft scouting report: RB Qadree Ollison, Pittsburgh Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsAs the Atlanta Falcons look to insert some size and muscle into their running back group, let’s take a look at what rookie running back Qadree Ollison brings to the table. Running the football was a stated desire by Falcons head coach Dan Quinn on numerous occasions this offseason. In order to do that, however, getting lead back Devonta Freeman 100% healthy is first priority. The team also needed to add some beef and aggressiveness to the offensive line, which they have obviously done this offseason period. Going into the 2019 NFL Draft, it appeared to some extent that the Falcons were headed in the direction of adding another running back to the fray for 2019 and beyond. In the fifth round, they did, in the form of a big back with the ability to finish runs and provide some punch. Time to put the late-round pick under the microscope and get familiar with his skill set. Qadree Ollison Scouting Report Height: 6’1 Weight: 228 lbs Career stats: 529 carries, 2,859 yards, 5.4 yards per carry, 29 rushing touchdowns Games watched: 2015 vs. Virginia Tech, , 2018 vs. Penn State, 2018 vs. Virginia Tech, 2018 vs. UCF, 2018 vs. Syracuse, 2018 vs. ClemsonStrengths: When viewing Ollison, you immediately notice the size with a near 230-pound frame. Ollison filled in as a redshirt freshman for Pittsburgh in 2015 as the program endured the loss of former starter James Conner to illness. Ollison proceeded to post 1,121 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. He capped off his career with a team-leading 1 http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-jim-mcmahon-jersey ,213 yards and another 11 scores in 2018, good to earn second-team All-ACC honors. Ollison has a thick, compact frame that tends to bounce off defenders when he lowers his shoulder. Ollison displays good balance through contact and maintains active legs when meeting defenders. Ollison posted a 4.58 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, which is fairly impressive given his size and running ability. Once Ollison reaches the second level of defenses, the power back displays a nice amount of burst to extend runs and shows a second gear. During his career, Ollison recorded touchdown runs of 67, 71, and 97 yards. He displays plenty of patience to allow blocks to develop whether it’s inside or outside zone runs. Ollison makes things very difficult for the ball carriers who choose to tackle him in the upper frame of his body. He shows no tendency to dance in the backfield and is your classic north-south runner. Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsWeaknesses: In today’s game, many backs have elusiveness and agility. Unfortunately, Ollison does not have that in his arsenal. His running style displays power but also stiffness in his hips. Ollison’s change of direction skills are lacking as well, as he is pretty much a straight-line runner. Slight promise is showed in the route running department, but his overall catching ability is average at best. Pass protection is also average as he shows at times the habit of lunging at oncoming blitzes. Conclusion: Ollison was arguably the most surprising selection of the 2019 NFL Draft, not because of where he was drafted, but because of his overall ability and what many assumed the Falcons to be looking for. Ollison brings a physical style that the Falcons’ running back group has not necessarily had in the last few seasons. While he’s not lead back material, he is definitely a prospect who can ultimately carve out a role of 10 to 15 carries a game and someone who can be a late game closer for an offense that has the lead and needs to shut the door. Based on where Ollison was drafted, it is best to shelve any expectations that are simply unreachable. However, Ollison can provide some pop for a Falcons team that is looking to pound the rock a little more in the future.

You may recognize the name, because Beavers was on Chicago’s practice squad in 2018. The Bears are his fifth different stop in his NFL journey after being a 4th-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. He played two games for the Vikings that year, but was released before the 2017 started. He bounced from practice squads of the Patriots, back to the Vikings, and finally to the Seahawks in 2017 Womens Walter Payton Jersey , and he was in the final cut-downs of Seattle before the 2018 season started. The Bears added him to their practice squad on November 5, 2018, and now the 25-year old will have a shot to impress this offseason.According to my math, the Bears currently have 12 players on reserve/futures deals, and those players are;Willie Beavers, OL, Western Michigan - 6’5”, 324Dejon Allen, OL, Hawaii - 6’3”, 290Abdullah Anderson, DL, Bucknell - 6’5”, 295John Franklin III, DB, Florida Atlantic - 6’1”, 186Tanner Gentry, WR, Wyoming - 6’1”, 201Cyril Grayson, WR, LSU - 5’9” Gale Sayers Jersey , 183Michael Joseph, DB, Dubuque - 6’1”, 187Jonathon Mincy, DB, Auburn - 5’10”, 196Ryan Nall, RB, Oregon State - 6’2”, 232James Vaughters, LB, Stanford - 6’2”, 250Josh Woods, ILB, Maryland - 6’1”, 204Jameer Thurman, LB, Indiana State - 6’0”, 230Even though Vaughters is listed on their transactions page, his name does not appear on their roster.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 4 touchdowns in that contest, but it was Tyreek Hill who truly dominated the game. Gus Bradley’s defense seemingly had no answer for him as he caught 7 passes for 169 yards and 2 touchdowns. Hopefully, the defense is better prepared for the speedster tonight.The Chiefs will be without Kareem Hunt Youth Nasir Adderley Jersey , whom they released earlier in the month. He was not terribly productive in their first game, but the defense certainly had to respect the fact that he was dangerous. Hunt’s replacement, Spencer Ware, is injured. Damien Williams will almost certainly be the feature back tonight. He’s not a bad player, but he’s a substantial step down from Hunt or a healthy Ware.The most noteworthy difference from the first contest has to be that Joey Bosa is back. And he is playing like one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. A more limited KC rushing attack combined with a superior LA pass rush should take a lot of pressure off the Chargers’ defensive backfield and give the visitors a much better chance of winning.Go Chargers! The Chargers have made “Fight for L.A.” one of their slogans since moving from San Diego to Los Angeles and starting to try to build up their fanbase in their new home.They made that move a year after the Rams and both teams are trying to sell tickets to the new stadium that they will both call home in the future. A Rams Super Bowl win would likely give their efforts a boost on that front and Chargers running back Melvin Gordon put any ill feelings about his team’s playoff loss behind him when asked if civic pride dictated his rooting choice.“Yeah Cheap Nasir Adderley Jersey , I don’t want the Rams to win,” Gordon said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “I live in L.A. Y’all know. I live in L.A. and I’ve got to hear that all day. You know how many signs, Rams signs, I see? I need them to lose. I don’t care where y’all put me on TV saying this. I need them to lose. I love the guys over there. I’m cool with Todd [Gurley]. I’m cool with all them boys.

Then Jenkins slammed his helmet to the turf on the sideline.The Eagles were beat up physically and mentally in a 48-7 loss that dropped their record to 4-6. It was the most lopsided defeat by a defending Super Bowl champion and it wouldn’t have been a surprise if the season spiraled downward.Instead, the Eagles were resilient. They didn’t give up. They didn’t quit. They rallied around each other. Now they have the rematch they wanted.The Eagles (10-7) are heading back to New Orleans to face the Saints (13-3) in a divisional playoff game on Sunday.“Neither team is going to start this game with a lead and neither team is going to start with an advantage because of something that happened, it seems like another season ago,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said Tuesday.“When you get beat the way we did, it’s easy to play into negativity. It’s easy to get down, but our guys got more determined I think and our guys stayed positive and we were able to have some good results and make it back there.”This won’t be the same team playing against the Saints in the Superdome.Wentz went down with a back injury and Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles stepped in to lead Philadelphia to four straight wins, including a 16-15 comeback victory at Chicago in the wild-card round.The offense has found its rhythm Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys 2019 , averaging 25.4 points while going 6-1 since that loss. They scored 20.5 points per game in the first 10 games.“I think we’ve made a lot of improvements since that last game,” offensive coordinator Mike Groh said. “Feeling good about where we are offensively. Obviously, every week there’s things that you want to improve in and get better at based on what people try to do to you. We know we have a tremendous challenge. They are an excellent defense. They have had a really good year and done a lot of things really well.“So, we’re excited for it. We’ve created a great opportunity for ourselves to be here in the divisional round and looking forward to getting back there.A secondary depleted by season-ending injuries to three starters and stitched together by deep reserves and guys off the street has gained experience and built chemistry since Drew Brees dominated them for 363 yards and four touchdowns the first time around.“We can pull some positives from it,” Schwartz said. “There were some good plays in there; they are hard to find, but there are some good plays that our guys can gain a lot of confidence in that and say, ‘Hey, we can get this done.'” Get to know another one of Philadelphia’s UDFA signings." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBleeding Green Nationa Philadelphia Eagles communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsEaglesOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Eagles Rookie Profile: Can Ryan Bates make the roster?New Mens Andre Dillard Jersey ,16commentsGet to know another one of Philadelphia’s UDFA signings.EDTDylan Callaghan-Croley of Black Shoe Diaries contributed to this post.ShareTweetShareShareEagles Rookie Profile: Can Ryan Bates make the roster?Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThe Philadelphia Eagles were happy to sign Penn State offensive lineman Ryan Bates as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft. The team was willing to spend a Day 3 pick on him, according to what Benjamin Solak had to say on a recent BGN Radio episode. The odds are naturally stacked against any UDFA player but Bates might have a shot to crack the Eagles’ roster. At the very least, it seems like he’ll be in consideration for the practice squad. In order to learn more about Bates, I reached out to SB Nation’s Penn State blog: Black Shoe Diaries. Nittany Lions writer Dylan Callaghan-Croley was kind enough to answer my questions.1) Can you sum up what Bates’ college career was like?Bates was a three-year starter for the Nittany Lions, making 35 starts in 37 career appearances and was a game changer for them on the offensive line. While he wasn’t a perfect lineman by any means, the offensive line when Bates was on it was stronger and more confident. In his redshirt freshman season, he earned multiple Freshman All-American honors. While he didn’t develop into the offensive lineman that some thought he could be from that freshman season, he still was a two-time All-Big Ten third team recipient in 2017 and 2018. 2) What are his strengths?Bates is an all-around versatile offensive lineman who can play a variety of positions. He’s also pretty athletic Youth Andre Dillard Jersey , so asking him to do some moving around or doing some swing work shouldn’t be a problem at all for him. He moves off the ball pretty well which does help him in the pass protection and he was one of the Nittany Lion’s best pass protectors over the course of his time in Happy Valley. 3) What are his weaknesses?Bates biggest weaknesses I would say is his lack of leverage and power at times. For a man who tested well at the combine, he isn’t the best when it comes to finding leverage with his hands and in result turning that into power. Though working with an offensive line coach like Jeff Stoutland could go along way in helping solve some of those issues. One spot he may get hurt early on in his NFL career is with his size, with him being on the smaller side at 6-foot-4 and 304-pounds, he really struggled when getting bulled rushed in college and with NFL lineman being bigger and stronger, he will need to learn to compensate for his lack of size quickly. Additionally, he needs to be better when it comes to his run blocking duties especially in being aggressive. 4) Are you surprised where he was drafted? Higher or lower than expected? Just right?I think I can speak on behalf of our entire website and really anybody who watches PSU football on a weekly basis. While we didn’t expect Bates to be a day one or day two draft pick this year, we expected him to be a solid day three pickup. That obviously didn’t happen, so for him to go completely undrafted left us flabbergasted. He has the talent to play at the NFL level Cheap Andre Dillard Jersey , he may need a bit of polishing so perhaps time on a practice squad could do him some good in terms of his development. 5) How do you see his NFL career playing out?I think this first training camp it goes without saying will be huge for Ryan Bates future in the NFL. I think if he can put together a strong camp, he has a chance to either stick around with the Eagles in some capacity or float around the league. The Eagles definitely have a need for more offensive lineman and Bates would be a great addition to that if he plays well this preseason. The one thing that will keep him around the NFL with the Eagles or another franchise, however, is his versatility, which I think could allow him to carve out a lengthy career. 6) Anything to know about him off the field?Overall, Bates is pretty much a quiet and hard working guy. He has a great work ethic from everything I’ve heard and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get better. He was one of the more highly respected teammates in Penn State’s locker room and was one of the leaders on the offensive line. Add in the factor that he is getting a chance to play for his hometown team, just 20-30 minutes away from where he grew up and there’s a strong recipe for success.

With a surprise win on the road against the Miami Dolphins, the team ended with a 5-11 record — which slotted them below the New York Giants and made them the second quarterback-needy team picking in a one-horse race. Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins was the guy and the rest of the crop — Daniel Jones, Will Grier, and more — just seemed a cut below.And then Kyler Murray declared for the 2019 NFL Draft.Now there are two options for a team wanting to roll the dice on a top-level prospect and Womens Marqise Lee Jersey , well, I couldn’t be happier.But who goes first: Haskins or Murray?Pro Football Focus has released version 3.0 of their 2019 mock draft and they’ve got Murray going ahead of Haskins.Fine by me.Haskins has a strong arm, he’s smart, he’s athletic, and he excels in the short passing game that the Jaguars will likely roll out next season alongside a revamped offensive line and power run offense.You can read a detailed breakdown of Haskins here. JACKSONVILLE Telvin Smith Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Leonard Fournette’s season-long struggles proved costly for his position coach.The Jacksonville Jaguars fired running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley and three more assistants Monday night, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity and said offensive line coach Pat Flaherty, secondary coach Perry Fewell and defensive line coach Marion Hobby also were let go one day after the season finale.Wheatley’s dismissal was the least surprising. It came one day after Fournette and T.J. Yeldon were sharply criticized for being disengaged from coaches and teammates during the 20-3 loss at Houston.Coughlin ripped both players for being “disrespectful” and “selfish.” He said “their behavior was unbecoming of a professional football player.”Fournette has missed 11 games in two seasons, including two because of suspensions, and has shown little interest in being a good professional. Yeldon http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-t.j.-yeldon-jersey , a pending free agent, barely played down the stretch. Jacksonville also traded a fifth-round pick for Carlos Hyde, who ran for 189 yards in eight games.All four assistants had been with the team for two seasons.Wheatley’s position group was among the least production in 2018. Fournette was one of the NFL’s biggest disappointments, finishing with 439 yards rushing and five touchdowns while missing eight games.Flaherty’s line was ravaged by injuries, but he also got little out of free-agent guard Andrew Norwell. Fewell’s secondary wasn’t nearly as productive as it was in 2017 and saw veteran safety Barry Church waived late in the season. Hobby’s unit underperformed at several positions Womens Ronnie Harrison Jersey , and first-round draft pick Taven Bryan made marginal gains in his rookie year.Coach Doug Marrone also fired offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in late November, meaning he now has five job openings heading into the new year.Marrone said earlier Monday that he didn’t want to make any staff changes based on emotion, adding that he would make sure “it’s for the right reasons and not just a reaction.”]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76556/it%E2%80%99s-a-well-known-fact-that-to-beat-tom-brady%E2%80%99s Thu, 29 Aug 2019 08:45:40 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76556/it%E2%80%99s-a-well-known-fact-that-to-beat-tom-brady%E2%80%99s Patriots http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-brian-urlacher-jersey , you need to consistently get into his grill and get him on the ground. Now, that’s the same game-plan for most quarterbacks but it holds especially true for the future First-ballot Hall of Famer. To beat Brady, you must pressure and you must get him to the ground. Any other strategy is certain death against a player who has seen every imaginable defense deployed against him after featuring in the NFL for almost 20 years. So what did the Bears and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio attempt to do against Brady on Sunday? They had their superstar pass rusher Khalil Mack drop back into coverage a career-high 18 times, according to Pro Football Focus. Not to be completely outdone, Mack’s starting edge partner, Leonard Floyd, dropped back into coverage 13 times. The pair generated a combined two pressures on occasions where they actually rushed the passer. That’s not getting into Brady’s grill. Call me crazy, but if Mack is already rolling with a bum ankle, why have him move backwards against better offensive athletes? He’s either healthy enough to play or he isn’t. The decoy ideal doesn’t work if it’s not letting your talisman get back up to speed health-wise. Scheming a way to keep Mack on the field in a way he isn’t comfortable or healthy makes little sense. Fangio better find answers for a reeling defense soon, and it’s not in the form of not having Mack pin his ears back. Elsewhere defensively, the Bears’ tackling improved tremendously after their embarrassment to the Dolphins. Chicago missed just six tackles and no back seven defender allowed more than 55 yards in coverage. That includes Kyle Fuller, Roquan Smith, and Bryce Callahan Womens Leonard Floyd Jersey , who all allowed four receptions each. Effort that will have to continue if the Bears are to get out of their first two-game losing streak of the Matt Nagy era. On the offensive side of the ball, the Patriots took note of Mitchell Trubisky’s struggles against pressure and ran with it. New England blitzed Trubisky 21 times on 58 drop backs, and Trubisky only went 5-of-20 for 36 yards on such plays. When the Patriots didn’t blitz, Trubisky completed 70 percent of his passes and averaged 9.9 yards per attempt.A lot of Trubisky’s struggles against the Patriots in particular was when going deep. On nine pass plays that went 20 yards or more, Trubisky was 1-of-9 for 54 yards. Essentially, the only time he found a Bears receiver downfield was Kevin White’s desperation Hail Mary. Otherwise, the young and rattled passer could not take advantage of chunk play opportunity after chunk play opportunity. The book is out on the Bears’ young quarterback and their defense, and they better adjust soon.

Fact: John Wetzel invented The Electric Slide"The Falcons committed this off-season to a wholesale re-tooling of their offensive line. We expected that following head coach Dan Quinn’s declaration heard ‘round the world. In short, as of early January, everyone not named Jake Matthews or Alex Mack was potentially on the chopping block. Falcons owner Arthur Blank doubled down on that promise in February. So when the Falcons parted ways with Ryan Schraeder and snatched up James Carpenter and Jamon Brown in mid-March, none of us were surprised. A month later Eric Kush Jersey , the Falcons added Adam Gattis as additional interior OL depth. Fast forward to Monday, when the Falcons inked a deal with veteran OT John Wetzel. He started 5 games for the Cardinals last season before suffering a season-ending neck injury which ultimately led to his foray into restricted free agency. Wetzel won’t be the starter, but he’s sure to make Matt Gono anxious as Gono looks to retain the swing tackle gig in 2019. It’s worth noting that Wetzel took over at right tackle for Andre Smith in early September last year, and instead of hedging his bets, Steve Wilks told the media “I feel great about Wetzel.” As recently as February, Walter Mitchell from SB Nation Cardinals site Revenge of the Birds raved about Wetzel’s downfield blocking ability and versatility. I’m rambling now, but the bottom line is this: Wetzel was a well-respected, quality backup in Arizona. But for the regime change there and his season-ending injury in 2018, he’d still be in a Cardinals uniform. As a former undrafted free agent, Wetzel parlayed his size (6’7 and 328 pounds) and surprising athleticism into his first NFL contracts with the Raiders, Cowboys, and Colts. He toiled on practice squads until 2016, when he became a starter in Arizona. Since October 2016 Stephen Denmark Chicago Bears Jerseys , Wetzel has started 24 NFL games. That’s a significant amount of snaps as a starter. (More on that later.) To be clear, I’d rather he not be forced into a starting gig in Atlanta. But if the need to spell Ty Sambrailo arises, he’s a good guy to have around. Sample size is everything, but in 5 games last year, Wetzel earned a grade of 55.0 from PFF. (72nd among qualifying tackles and “average,” according to their metrics.) His pass blocking was slightly below average while his run blocking was average. In 2017, Wetzel was an above-average run blocker and a below average pass blocker. The same was true in 2016. So if you ask me what to expect from Wetzel, my answer will be straightforward and I’ll be confident giving it: the kid is going to run some defenders over in the running game and might be an occasional liability in the passing game. If we’re talking about a potential swing tackle, I’ll take a guy with his versatility and that kind of established track record any day. If there’s a scenario where Wetzel suddenly becomes a complete non-factor, it’s the Falcons drafting an offensive tackle at 14. But again, his experience is invaluable. Wetzel has played at guard and both tackle possessions in actual NFL games. He’s racked up over 1,900 regular season snaps. In that time, he’s allowed 10 sacks Chicago Bears Jerseys 2019 , 25 QB hits, and 83 hurries, which is a little disconcerting, if you’re talking about a starter. But as depth signings go, especially if he’s making the veteran minimum (around $730k for a player with 3 years of accrued service), Wetzel made a ton of sense. We’ll have to see how his contract details break down, but for now, Thomas Dimitroff deserve a lot of credit for finding this diamond in the rough.]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76555/several-days-ago-the-front-of-house-guys-here-at-sb Thu, 29 Aug 2019 08:08:10 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76555/several-days-ago-the-front-of-house-guys-here-at-sb Several days ago Nasir Adderley Jersey 2019 , the front-of-house guys here at SB Nation put out there version of a "what-if?" scenario where they went back and drafted the 2018 draft class over again after knowing what we..."Nation put out there version of a “what-if?” scenario where they went back and drafted the 2018 draft class over again after knowing what we know now almost a year later.Of course, it’s no surprise that Derwin James went off the board long before he got close to #17. In this re-draft, the Cleveland Browns decided to jump on the All-Pro safety with the 4th-overall pick instead of cornerback Denzel Ward, who also went on to have one of the best individual seasons among 2018 rookies.Here’s what they had to say about the pick:As the re-draft went on, guys like Darius Leonard (the Rookie Defensive Player of the Year) and Leighton Vander Esch went a number of picks higher, being the first two linebackers off the board. Due to this change, consensus top linebacker prospect heading in to the draft, Roquan Smith, fell easily to the Chargers at pick #17.Here’s what they had to say about this turn-of-events:Hindsight is 20/20 but Smith landing in LA would’ve been just as amazing were it to have actually happened this time last year. In his first season in Chicago Cheap Nasir Adderley Jersey , Smith led the team in total tackles with 121. He also added in five sacks and an interception, to boot. Take your pick of James or Smith, but I believe either one is going to end up being a future all-pro for years to come.What do you guys think of the re-draft? Would you still be excited about this pick? When you get into the swing of things here at the Senior Bowl, you become so focused on the prospects that are participating that you sometimes forget that there are a number of other players in..."When you get into the swing of things here at the Senior Bowl, you become so focused on the prospects that are participating that you sometimes forget that there are a number of other players in the draft that aren’t these senior all-stars.I always find that quite amusing and it gave me an idea: What if they were the only players in this year’s draft?So with that theme, I decided to churn out a mock-draft by only using the players that are here in Mobile, Alabama.Let’s do this.Round 1 - Andre Dillard, Offensive Tackle, Washington StatePrior to arriving at the Senior Bowl, Dillard was one of the offensive linemen I was unable to scout that much beforehand. But man Youth Michael Schofield Jerseys , am I upset that I haven’t looked at him sooner.Dillard stood out to me before he even hit the field, measured just under 6-foot-5 and tipping the scales at 310 pounds. Most impressively, he was one of the better-looking offensive linemen in terms of how he carried that weight on his frame. Distributed evenly with bad weight hard to come by.When he finally put the pads on, his talent in pass protection was apparent. He possesses some of the most active feet which help him in terms resetting and keeping his base wide. It’s tough for defenders to catch him off-balance due to this, as well. Hand-placement was consistent, rarely finding a landing spot outside of the defender’s numbers.In another draft short of elite offensive tackle prospects, Dillard is likely one of the only tackles worthy of a first-round pick.Round 2 - Te’Von Coney, Inside Linebacker, Notre DameConey paired with Drue Tranquil to to head one of the top defenses in the country this past season. Coney measured in at 6-foot-0 and 7/8 while maintaining a stout 244 pounds. He isn’t the tallest linebacker, but that’s not something Coney will allow to hold him back.As a junior in 2017 Michael Schofield Jerseys Stitched , Coney received a starting job after a senior in front of him was lost to injury. He would go on to start only seven games but still amassed 116 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss.In his senior year, Coney made the transition from outside to inside linebacker where he told me he prefers to play as he gets to command the defense. Pro Football Weekly’s Greg Gabriel said that his athleticism, instincts, and speed will be what eventually seperates Coney from the rest of the linebackers in the class.This year, he finished his final season in South Bend with 123 tackles, 9.5 tackles-for-loss, four sacks, and an interception.Round 3 - Khalen Saunders, Defensive Tackle White Corey Liuget Jerseys , Western IllinoisSaunders has come out of nowhere to take the Senior Bowl, and the entire scouting community, by storm.The 6-foot-0, 320-pound nose guard has been an unstoppable force in his first two practices this week, usually going up against the the likes of NCST C Garrett Bradbury and Wisconsin OG Michael Deiter.On day 2 of practices, Saunders won a rep against Wisco’s RG Beau Benschawel even after it looked like the guard had the upper hand. With his chest almost parallel to the ground following a slight stumble, Saunders shot his arm in the gut of Benzshawel and kept churning his feet, inevitably throwing the linemen into the invisible quarterback five yards back.In his final season, Saunders racked up 72 total tackles, 6.5 sacks Corey Liuget Jerseys 2019 , ans 13 tackles-for-loss.And, I mean, that back-flip is still pretty cool, right?]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76542/with-that-in-mind-i%E2%80%99m-excited-to-announce-a-new-podcast Thu, 29 Aug 2019 07:32:13 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76542/with-that-in-mind-i%E2%80%99m-excited-to-announce-a-new-podcast Quarterbacks are the most loudly debated Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys Stitched , least understood position in all of sports. series for Bleeding Green Nation.The QB Scho Show with myself and quarterback analyst Mark Schofield aims to provide high-level analysis of the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles’ upcoming opponent's quarterback.

What they’re saying about Philly’s Day 2 picks."The Philadelphia Eagles selected Miles Sanders at No. 53 overall and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside at No. 57 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. There was thought the team might trade down and/or take a defensive player with at least one of their picks but instead the Eagles are loading up on offensive talent.Now it’s time to see how the so-called “experts” have graded these selections. Draft grades are hardly the ultimate determination of whether a pick is actually good or not Andre Dillard Jersey Color Rush , but it’s still interesting to see what non-Eagles fans are saying about the selection.But before we do that, let’s look at how Eagles fans reacted to the picks here at Bleeding Green Nation. With just over 3,700 votes cast, 89% of Eagles fans are giving the Sanders selection either an “A” or “B” grade.I’ll give the Sanders pick a “B” grade.Some things I do like about the Sanders pick:The Eagles FINALLY drafted a talented running back. They’re no longer going overboard in neglecting the position.Sanders has low mileage after only logging 308 total touches in three years at Penn State.Sanders fits the Eagles’ need for a back who can make defenders miss and is able to contribute as a pass catcher.Sanders can be the 1A in the Eagles’ running back rotation but he doesn’t necessarily need to carry the ground game right away with Jordan Howard in the fold.Sanders is only 21 and might have some untapped potential after being used in a limited role in college. There’s some thought he could end up being the best back from this class.Sanders has a strong athletic profile:Some things I don’t like about the Sanders pick:Ball security issues. Sanders had five fumbles in 2018. Sanders gets knocked for poor vision and struggles in pass protection. These issues, combined with the fumbling thing, remind me of why Wendell Smallwood can be so frustrating. Sanders is better than Smallwood but, still, this line from Thor Nystrom sums up my concern with this pick: “If Sanders hits his ceiling Cheap Andre Dillard Jersey , he’s going to become one of the best backs in this class — perhaps even the very best. If it turns out that this is just sort of who he is, then he’ll be a solid-enough committee guy, eminently replaceable.” You don’t take a running back at No. 53 overall to be “Just A Guy.” There’s pressure on Sanders to produce at a fairly high level.Sanders only ranked 13th among draft eligible running backs in yards after contact per attempt, per Pro Football Focus.The downside to Sanders’ low usage is that’s there isn’t a huge track record of production and experience. Now let’s take a look at how Eagles fans are grading the JJAW pick. With just under 4,200 votes cast, only 65% are giving the pick a “B” grade or better.I’ll give the JJAW pick a B-.Some things I do like about the JJAW pick:The Eagles are loading up on weapons for Carson Wentz. That’s always nice to see. Investing in offense in general is a good philosophy. It’s no coincidence the top four offenses in the NFL (Chiefs, Patriots, Saints Andre Dillard Jersey 2019 , Rams) were all playing in the Conference Championship Games this year.JJAW is absolute beast at the catch point. Ever since Terrell Owens entered my life, I’ve always had a soft spot for big guys who look unguardable on jump balls. The Eagles have a lot of size with JJAW, Alshon Jeffery, Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, and even Mack Hollins. Their red zone efficiency could improve in 2019 after dropping to 17th last season.JJAW can potentially replace Jeffery down the road. Jeffery has a near $16 million cap number in 2020 and can be cut to save just over $10 million. To be clear, I’m not rushing Jeffery out the door. Just saying the option will be there.The Eagles have talked about how they believe wide receiver is a position that really takes time to learn in the NFL. JJAW won’t immediately be forced into a huge role.Some things I don’t like about the JJAW pick:Not perfectly sure how JJAW fits into this offense. Jeffery, DeSean Jackson Black Seth Joyner Jerseys , and Nelson Agholor are the current projected starters. Does Agholor get traded? There’s been buzz that he’s available but Howie Roseman downplayed that idea on Friday night. How much playing time does JJAW get if Agholor stays?JJAW reportedly ran in the 4.4’s and actually ranked 11th in explosive players in 2018 but there are questions how his play speed will translate to the NFL. It felt like the Eagles had the most tackleable offense in the NFL last year. Too many guys who can’t make stuff happen with the ball in their hands. JJAW is another guy who isn’t going to get this team YAC.Speaking of translation issues, how much will JJAW be able to rely on catching jump balls in the NFL? The Eagles weren’t able to trade down and acquire more picks ... or address their defense at all so far.It’s going to be annoying to type out JJAW’s full name at times. Will no one think of the bloggers?! Also: how are we pronouncing JJAW out loud? Jay jaw? Jay jay ay doubleyou? You have to be concerned JJAW doesn’t pass the Jack Fritz name test.Now for more hot takes and draft grades from “experts” around the web.ESPN (Winners)The Athletic (A- and B for Sanders; B and B- for JJAW)Sanders:JJAW:NFL.com (A)Bleacher Report (B for Sanders, A- for JJAW)DraftWire (B for Sanders; B for JJAW)Another receiver not named D.K.

Now they prepare for a trip to Jacksonville on Sunday and an early AFC South showdown with the defending division champ Tennessee swept last season before hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 30.But Tennessee might be without starting quarterback Marcus Mariota for a second straight week, and only time will tell if any of the Titans' top three offensive tackles might be available Sunday against the Jaguars (2-0) as well. Mariota still is having numbness in his right, throwing hand from hurting his elbow in the season opener.Mariota watched from the sideline, active and dressed. Vrabel said Mariota physically remains about where the quarterback was Friday or Saturday when the Titans decided to start backup Blaine Gabbert instead of Mariota."I think and I'm hopeful that it'll improve as quickly as possible," Vrabel said of Mariota on Monday.That puts Gabbert in line for a second straight start, this against the team that drafted him at No. 10 overall in 2011 no less. It wouldn't be his first game against his old team. Gabbert led Arizona to a victory last November over the Jaguars, and he said this isn't his first rodeo."I've been in a lot of different situations. I'm always ready to go," Gabbert said. "Whether you're a starter or a backup, 13-guy Womens D.J. Hayden Jersey , you've got to have the same routine, week-in and week-out. Otherwise, you have nothing to fall back on when your number is called. I just stuck to my routine, prepared the same way as I always have, and just stuck with that."Vrabel said right tackle Dennis Kelly, who has been filling in while starter Jack Conklin recovers from the left ACL torn in January, has been released from the hospital after dealing with an undisclosed illness. Vrabel said Conklin should do more at practice this week, while two-time Pro Bowl Taylor Lewan is progressing in the concussion protocol."When that guy's ready, we'll put him in the game," Vrabel said.The coach and his assistants showed in their win over Houston that they could find ways for the Titans to score points and move the ball even missing several key starters.The Titans used a fake punt for a 66-yard touchdown pass Cody Kessler Jersey , and Derrick Henry ran the wildcat for a handful of snaps on Tennessee's lone TD drive. Defensively, the Titans came up with four sacks and an interception. They also limited Deshaun Watson to a final completion that proved meaningless as the clock expired.Linebacker Brian Orakpo called it a great one, two, three punch."I'm definitely excited for this team overall," Orakpo said. "We finally came out on the right end, and we're trying to get back to the winning ways. We still have a long way to go and a long road ahead of us, but I'm excited because it was a big divisional win and coach Vrabel's first win. Very exciting."Follow Teresa M. Walker at teresamwalker The Jaguars officially signed wide receiver Terrelle Pryor on Monday and he hit the practice field with his new team for the first time.That starts a learning process that began for the rest of the team a couple of months ago, but the team won’t be trying to speed Pryor’s acclimation process along before the end of the offseason program next week. Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said on Monday that they will “slowly bring [Pryor] in” after he’s spent the offseason working out on his own.Marrone also explained some of what drew the team to Pryor.“He is very smart,” Marrone said, via Jacksonville.com. “I think he has communicated well up until this point http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-foles-jersey , which I’ve only had limited communication [with him]. I think that he is a big athlete with a good catch radius, and I think he will be in position to compete for a job, and I’m sure he hopes to get back to the season that he had a couple years ago where he really had a heck of a year.”Pryor had 77 catches for 1,007 yards and four scores while with the Browns in 2016, but only had 36 catches for 492 yards and three scores with Washington, Buffalo and the Jets the last two seasons.]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76319/according-to-john-oehser-of-the-team%E2%80%99s-official-website Tue, 27 Aug 2019 06:21:15 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/76319/according-to-john-oehser-of-the-team%E2%80%99s-official-website The Jaguars are without two of their top defensive players for the start of offseason workouts DJ Chark Jersey , but coach Doug Marrone isn’t ready to sound the alarm. cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith weren’t on hand for the start of the voluntary program.Marrone said he reached out to both players but hadn’t heard back from either.“It’s a voluntary period; it’s an option,” Marrone said. “I don’t try to concern myself with things that are out of my control. I’m sure they’re both working hard.”“I haven’t talked to them, but those are two guys I’m not worried about,” veteran defensive end Calais Campbell said. “Those are guys I know are going to come back in top-tip shape, focused and ready to go. I know their grind and work ethic. They’re going to be just fine.”Of course http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-a.-j.-cann-jersey , they are voluntary, so any reason is sufficient. But Smith’s been paid, while Ramsey’s still waiting for his first chance at free agency. He’s in the fourth year of his rookie deal (pending the fifth-year option), and he’s clearly ready to talk about the future.The Jaguars might not be there yet, but they were careful to shoot down reports that Ramsey was on the trade block this offseason. Jalen Ramsey says New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore‘s criticism is “lame, corny Womens Marqise Lee Jersey ,” adding “but it’s him, though.”In a radio interview Wednesday, Gilmore took a shot at the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back by saying “a lot of people can talk, but you’ve got to back it up, which he does. Sometimes.”Speaking to “The Sports Hub” radio show in Boston, Gilmore added: “That’s not my style Telvin Smith Jersey , but I find a lot of guys that talk are mostly zone guys so they have a lot of energy to do that.”Ramsey fired back Thursday, saying “we know that’s furthest from the truth.”“I’m going to continue to do what this team asks me to do,” Ramsey said. “Man or zone. Maybe he should try it. I was All-Pro.”Ramsey usually plays press coverage and regularly follows the opponent’s best receiver all over the field.He shadowed New York Giants star Odell Beckham in the season opener and did the same last week against Kansas City speedster Tyreek Hill. Beckham caught 11 passes for 111 yards against Jacksonville, with 63 of those coming in the fourth quarter. Hill had four receptions for 61 yards, including a 36-yarder over Ramsey.“I’ve never understood why somebody on the same side of the ball would hate on another guy,” said Ramsey http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-t.j.-yeldon-jersey , who made headlines in the preseason for ripping many NFL quarterbacks . “Usually we’re going against the opponent. Maybe I’m a threat or something. I really don’t know. … It was weird to me. It’s lame, corny, but it’s him, though.”Ramsey has 17 tackles and one pass breakup this season.“If the team is happy with my production out there, whether I’m playing man or zone, I’m good with it Womens Ronnie Harrison Jersey ,” he said. “I’m a zone guy. I’m a man guy. I’m going to do what the team asks me and I’m going to do it at a high level. It’s cool. We know that’s furthest from the truth, though. I play a good mix of both, but I think everybody knows I’m playing man majority of the time.”___]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75697/the-bears-are-leaving-the-door-open-to-that Fri, 23 Aug 2019 09:00:10 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75697/the-bears-are-leaving-the-door-open-to-that After Matt Nagy recently revealed he called Kareem Hunt to check on his well being Stephen Denmark Chicago Bears Jerseys , the Bears immediately joined the list of candidates expected to pursue the running back. but Chairman George McCaskey tapped the brakes. McCaskey agrees with General Manager Ryan Pace that the Bears “aren’t there yet.” “Ryan said we’re not there yet; I think that’s the best way to put it,” McCaskey told Rich Campbell of the on Thursday. “He’s not eligible right now. He may not become eligible for quite some time.”The NFL placed Hunt on the Commissioner Exempt List on Nov. 30 after TMZ published a video of him shoving and kicking a woman in the hallway of his Cleveland residence. The Chiefs cut Hunt, who led the league in rushing as a rookie with Nagy as his offensive coordinator.“I think the important thing, as Matt pointed out, is that he addresses his personal situation before worrying about football,” McCaskey said. The Bears are owned by McCaskey’s 96-year-old mother, Virginia, but McCaskey disagreed with the idea that her ownership creates a “special dynamic” since Hunt’s violence was against a woman.“This is a vexing social problem that everybody needs to be concerned about,” McCaskey said. “Violence by a man against a woman should offend everyone regardless of gender. But . . .she and I are like-minded. She entrusts me with this responsibility to make this assessment on behalf of ownership.”The NFL is expected to suspend Hunt but allow him to return during the 2019 season. He is expected to have several teams interested in signing him. The Bears are preparing for their first playoff game in eight seasons. You’ve got questions about the biggest game in years and we’ve got answers."After eight long years, it’s finally time. The Chicago Bears are in the playoffs and hosting that game at Soldier Field, where it has magically become a sizable home field advantage. It’s been a pretty miraculous season overall, finishing (12-4), but sadly that record won’t lead to a first round bye.Even so, the Bears opened as a (-5.5) favorite over the Philadelphia Eagles (that number has since climbed to 6) Chicago Bears Jerseys Stitched , who needed the Bears help to get into the playoffs. Because of those odds, the Bears are actually the heaviest favored team in the opening round of the playoffs. All in all, the Bears have had a season to remember and an incredible seven-game turnaround. But with that, the expectations have changed, and I think I speak for most when I say a first round loss would be somewhat of a disappointment after such a breakout season. The good news? I don’t see that as likely on Sunday, but for more on this weekend’s game, let’s dive into the first edition of the playoff Bears mailbag.This could absolutely be recency bias on my part, but I truly believe that the 2018 version of the Bears may be slightly better than the one that made it to the Super Bowl in 2006. Here’s where:Better overall offense. I’d take Mitchell Trubisky and the offensive minds surrounding this staff.Similar defense (better if you look at Football Outsiders’ DVOA rankings).The issue is that the Bears won’t have home field advantage, outside of likely their first game. That’s where the big issue (for me) comes in. It is worth noting that this year’s defense may carry more value because of the offensive uptick we’ve seen in 2018. I truly believe this 2018 version of the Bears is more than talented enough to win a Super Bowl. Hell, they are a top three team in the NFL this year. I just wonder if a lack of experience and them not having home field advantage will be a bigger issue.The short answer is, no.A few years back, the NFL changed their rules to where each NFL team could return/designate two players from injured reserve. The problem? The Bears chose their two in both tight end Adam Shaheen and right guard Kyle Long.So, because of that, Bryce Callahan is not eligible to come off injured reserve.At least from what I’ve been told, yes. The plan appears to be resting him as long as possible (two games and either a practice or two this week) Stephen Denmark Jersey 2019 , but ultimately they are expecting him to play on Sunday.Much like they’ve handled their key injured players all season, they’ve played it safe, and I expect them to handle this the same way.Realistically, he could probably use another week or so off, but the entire reason they’ve being sitting him and playing it carefully is so he can play on Sunday. It’s also worth noting that Jackson is out of his walking boot. I’d expect him to play Sunday, but Friday’s practice will tell the real story.I think it’s more than fair for people to either be worried about Trubisky’s performance on Sunday or at least be curious. I mean, let’s face it... He hasn’t exactly been great in prime time spotlights. Whether that was in Week 1, 2, 11 or 14.With that in mind, it’s worth noting that Trubisky has been playing consistently better over the past three games, even if it’s been in more of a game manager role. Here’s how I feel about him. If he can limit turnovers, throw for 220-250 yards-per-game and continue to have good success on third-down, they will be in very good shape. Not only will this give the defense some margin for error, but it will keep the offense’s timely scoring intact.In a lot of ways, I truly believe the Bears have maxed out their potential in Year One of Matt Nagy’s offense Cheap Stephen Denmark Jersey , but even so, they have a knack for scoring when they need it the most. If this offense can score 22-25 points-per-game, it’s going to be hard to beat them. A lot of that will call for Trubisky to play at his current level and I think that’s more than possible.It’s worth keeping in mind that the Bears have more than 15 players on their current roster that have been in the playoffs before.A few of those include Super Bowl winners like Danny Trevathan, Prince Amukamara and Trey Burton. Other key players like Akiem Hicks and Taylor Gabriel have either had playoff or Super Bowl experience as well. On top of that, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has coached in a Super Bowl, and Nagy has coached in multiple playoff games, including last year.Like Nagy talked about on Monday, playoff experience is important, but they have enough players and leaders on this team that have been there, that they can speak on it and help the players who haven’t.Make no mistake, the Eagles are an experienced team, but the Bears are the more talented team and more importantly, the home team. I would be somewhat surprised, but we’ll see. Keep in mind, the reason that he and Kevin White got their chances in Week 17 was due to injury. Allen Robinson II sat out the game Youth Dan Hampton Jerseys , and both Anthony Miller and Gabriel left during the game with injuries. Wims will have a role on this team moving forward into 2019, and I still think he can provide something as a mid-level receiver, but at least in regards to this year, Josh Bellamy is more likely to see a bigger role that Wims.In my weekly game pick for Windy City Gridiron, I took the Bears in a 24-20 game. Some may look at this score and wonder why I am projecting it to be close and here’s why. The Eagles are an experienced team and are somewhat hot. Obviously the Bears are too, as evidenced by their (9-1) mark over their last 10 games. Even so, I think that there will be some “growing pains” in this game for a young Bears team. I also think that it may take the Bears a bit of time to get things going. Whether that’s a quick score by the Eagles or not, I think they may face some adversity early.I do think the Bears will gain control of the game around half time, get up to a decent lead and then the Eagles will score late to make it look closer than it really was. But long story short, I believe the Bears win on Sunday.]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75695/adderley-a-second-round-pick-who-has-a-good-chance Fri, 23 Aug 2019 08:26:01 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75695/adderley-a-second-round-pick-who-has-a-good-chance Chargers rookie safety Nasir Adderley isn’t accustomed to facing the highest level of competition Corey Liuget Jerseys 2019 , having played his college football at Delaware, but he has high hopes for how he’ll adjust to the NFL.One starting job, thinks he and fellow safety Derwin James can accomplish great things together. Adderley told Fernando Ramirez of NBC San Diego that he and James could be the best safety duo in the NFL.Chargers defensive backs coach Ron Milus, however White Joe Barksdale Jerseys , was a bit hesitant to go that far.“Let’s let these guys grow up,” Milus said, via ESPN. “I’m not even going to go there. But I like the potential of these two, young players that hopefully can grow together, and be a nice little tandem for the future.”James had a very good rookie season and may well be one of the top safeties in the NFL for years to come. Adderley has a long way to go before he deserves that kind of recognition. But he’s not lacking for confidence. OAKLAND Joe Barksdale Jerseys 2019 , Calif. (AP) — Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes, Melvin Gordon gained 165 yards and the Los Angeles Chargers won their sixth straight game, 20-6 over the struggling Oakland Raiders on Sunday.Rivers bounced back from a first quarter with no completions to throw an 11-yard TD pass to Keenan Allen in the second quarter to give the Chargers (7-2) the lead for good and a 66-yarder to Gordon on the opening drive of the second half.Los Angeles coasted from there against the Raiders (1-8), who have lost five straight games by at least 14 points under coach Jon Gruden and have been outscored 75-9 in the past nine quarters in what has quickly become a lost season.Oakland started quickly by controlling the ball for 23 of 29 plays in the first quarter and outgaining the Chargers by 129 yards. But Los Angeles allowed little after Melvin Ingram forced a fumble on a sack of Derek Carr early in the second quarter with the Raiders looking to add to a 3-0 lead.Rivers found his stride after that, leading the Chargers to a field goal and then engineering a 91-yard drive at the end of the half that was capped by the throw to Allen in the front corner of the end zone.Gordon White Kyle Emanuel Jerseys , who had 93 yards rushing and 72 yards receiving, then put the game away when he caught a short pass from Rivers, broke a tackle by Gareon Conley, juked Reggie Nelson and raced in for the long score.LOPSIDED STARTThe Raiders missed opportunities to take a bigger lead while outgaining the Chargers 135-6 in the first quarter. Dwayne Harris was stopped by Derwin James on a shovel pass on fourth-and-goal from the 1 to deny the best chance for Oakland. Los Angeles then scored 10 points in the second quarter with a strip sack by Ingram denying Oakland a shot at a field goal and setting up one for the Chargers. Rivers hit Allen for the TD with 24 seconds left in the half.FAKING ITRaiders rookie punter Johnny Townsend pulled off a fake punt on the opening drive for a 42-yard run. That was longer than his average punt of 41.9 yards coming into the game. Townsend then added his longest kick of the season with a 57-yarder in the second quarter. Townsend is the third player since the 1970 merger with a run of at least 40 yards and a punt of at least 50 in the same game, joining Cleveland’s Reggie Hodges Kyle Emanuel Jerseys 2019 , who did it for Cleveland in 2010, and Jeff Hayes for Washington in 1983.SMOKY GAMEThe air quality for the game was at an unhealthy level because of wildfires in Butte County, about 150 miles to the north. The Air Quality Index was at 159 at kickoff, which is in the unhealthy zone, and smoke could be smelled throughout the stadium. The NFL had monitored the situation but the AQI never got near 200 White Drew Kaser Jerseys , the level where the game would have needed to be moved.INJURIESChargers LB Denzel Perryman left the game with a knee injury on the opening drive. … Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee) left the game in the third quarter.UP NEXTColts: Host the Broncos on Sunday.Raiders: Visit the Cardinals on Sunday.]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75694/whitefanposts-fanshots-eagles-stories Fri, 23 Aug 2019 07:46:16 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75694/whitefanposts-fanshots-eagles-stories He might not be an Eagles fan Brian Westbrook Jerseys 2019 , but it is still a piece of art."ScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁旴reaking NewsThe Eagles' 2019 draft class is finalized 脳Relive the Double Doink with one of the greatest troll jobs you’ll ever seeNew,20commentsHe might not be an Eagles fan, but it is still a piece of art.EDTShareTweetShareShareRelive the Double Doink with one of the greatest troll jobs you’ll ever seeSt. Patrick’s Day was just a few days ago Black Wilbert Montgomery Jerseys , and Chicago is one of the notable cities that does it up big for the holiday, even dying the Chicago River green.With recent memories of the Bears losing in the playoffs to the Eagles thanks to the Double Doink by kicker Cody Parkey, that green river served an unintended purpose: Ian Mueller (@Ianmueller) turned it into a green screen for a pretty incredible troll job.

Atlanta had an open roster spot after placing starting safety Keanu Neal on injured reserve.On one hand, it’s easy to be happy for Means. The soon-to-be 28-year-old pass rusher was buried on depth chart in Philadelphia. He definitely deserves to be on a 53-man roster.On the other hand, it’s sad to know that Means won’t be coming back. There was some thought he might return to the Eagles after Week 1 since Black Tommy McDonald Jerseys , as a vested veteran, his contract would no longer be guaranteed for the full season. But he’s joining Atlanta instead.In addition to providing the Eagles with quality defensive end depth, Means was an important practice player for Philadelphia. He would study the film of upcoming opponent pass rushers and simulate their moves to help prepare the Eagles’ offensive linemen for game day. Means brought a lot of effort and intensity to the table. Also he just seemed to be a likeable guy in the locker room.

Could Zeitler be a target for the Jaguars when teams start shuffling their rosters? Or will they save their cap room for someone else? Let us know in the comments below!

Matt makes a strong argument to sit him, and facing a top 10 Steelers run defense will be a task. That said, against the Jaguars and Broncos respectively, Pittsburgh yielded 95 and 110 yards to Leonard Fournette and Phillip Lindsay. In last week’s loss the Broncos averaged 5.4 yards per rush.Even in a backup role Ekeler gets looks in the passing game (32 receptions on 39 targets) which make him a tasty start in light of Melvin Gordon’s injury (Gordon has 44 receptions on 60 targets).Sunday night. Ben versus Rivers. I see points. Many points. Pittsburgh looks to rebound for lethargic play the past two weeks, but Ilike Austin to deliver the points. PPR darling.Projection: 65 yards rushing, 7 recpetions for 45 yards and 2 touchdowns -STARTQB Russell Wilson, Seahawks He has been on a hot streak as of late and finally showing fantasy potential scoring at least 19 fantasy points six of his last seven. Matchup against the 49ers is juicy! Should be another solid day at the fantasy office for Wilson.Projection: 265 yards passing with 3 touchdowns 45 yards rushing QB Lamar Jackson, RavensYou are not starting Jackson because of his arm. He should really be a running back but he is a QB. He has a combined 40 fantasy points in the last two games. Atlanta’s defense is not good. He should be a good steaming option. Projection: 235 total yards with 1 passing touchdown and 1 rushing touchdownQB Jameis Winston, BucsThe Carolina Panthers have given up 12 touchdowns and 24 points on average to opposing QBs since week 9. He should have a solid game this week!!Projection: 345 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions RB Spencer Ware, Chiefs With the shocking news that Kareem Hunt has been released due to a domestic violence incident, Spencer Ware has been propelled into the RB 10 category. He should be used as the workhorse in this offense, and should produce high fantasy points this week in a prime match up against a league worst Raiders rush defense. Projection: 115 total yards with 5 receptions and 1 touchdownRB Josh Adams, Eagles Josh Adams reminds me of the Aaron Jones situation a couple weeks prior. He is a supreme talent that wasn’t getting enough touches until the coach finally realized that he was a stud. Josh Adams has proven to be the most efficient running back on the team Jawaan Taylor Jersey Color Rush , and recent reports say they are going to give him a more prominent role. I believe he breaks out this game. Projection: 19 carries for 124 yards and 1 touchdownRB LeSean McCoy, Bills The Miami Dolphins have a bottom five rushing defense, With a new focus on the running game with Josh Allen returning to the offense, I wouldn’t be surprise of LeSean McCoy has a pretty great game. Projection: 95 total yards with 3 receptions and 1 touchdownWR Christian Kirk, Cardinals I like Kirk a lot this week. He is going up against the Green Bay Packers who have allowed 10 different receivers to go over 50 yards receiving. The Cardinals will probably be down early and often meaning a lot of garbage time. I believe he will find the end zone. Projection: 5 receptions for 65 yards and 1 touchdownWR Josh Reynolds, RamsHe has been sneaky good every since Kupp went down. Detroit’s defense has given up eight receiving touchdowns in the last five games and he should be in the running to find the end zone.Projection: 4 receptions for 69 yards and 1 touchdownWR Chris Godwin, Bucs I believe he will benefit the most with DeSean Jackson being ruled out. With the game that I expect to be fairly high scoring, I suspect targets to be flowing all around. He’s a pretty good streaming option this week. Projection: 5 receptions for 65 yards and 1 touchdownTE Eric Ebron, Colts This is pretty self-explanatory. Jack Doyle out for the season and Eric Ebron has 12 touchdowns on this year. That’s a lot. To put that into perspective during his four year tenure in Detroit, he had less than his current touchdown total for this year. If you have him you start him. Projection: 5 receptions for 57 yards and 1 touchdownTE Cameron Brate, Bucs OJ Howard is done for the year meaning Cameron Brate is a strong fantasy option in a position that is not really deep. As I mentioned before,I suspect this game to be fairly high scoring and Winston seems to target Brate a lot. I am confident he will find the end zone this weekend.Projection: 5 recpetions for 46 yards and 1 touchdownK Josh Lambo, Jaguars He posted a dud last week but in the last four games he has produce double digit fantasy points. He was a standout against the Colts the last time he faced them. Will Kessler move the ball to get him in range? I think so. Start Josh Lambo. Projection: 2 for 2 on field goals and 2 for 2 on extra pointsLos Angeles Rams Defense The Detroit Lions have been giving up 12 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses. The Rams are coming off their best performance of the fantasy season against a top notch offense of the Chiefs and I suspect a lot of sacks and a lot of turnover in this gameProjection: 10 points allowed with 7 sacks and 3 turnovers-SITQB Matthew Stafford, LionsSo no Tate Mens Jawaan Taylor Jersey , no Jones, and going up against the Rams. To add more assurance to sitting him, he scored fewer than 18 fantasy points in the last 7 games. Sit him as this offense is horrible. Projection: 245 yards passing with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions QB Josh Allen, Bills He is not an accurate passer. Do not chase the points, I know you may be tempted as Allen scored a lot of fantasy points (26) against the Jaguars, but I believe that was an anomaly. Allen’s legs made him a diamond. Let me remind you his completion percentage was 42.1%. The Miami Dolphins have averaged about 13 points to opposing quarterbacks when they play at home. Projection: 173 yards passing with 1 touchdown and 1 interception with 62 yards rushingQB Eli Manning, Giants Eli is facing the Bears. Opposing quarterbacks average just about 15 fantasy points per game, ranking the seconded fewest in the league. The only saving grace for Eli is Saquon Barkley, who offers a nice outlet, but on the whole Eli should have a very bad game. Projection: 250 yads passing with 2 touchdowns and 1 interceptionRB Austin Ekeler, Chargers I don’t understand the commotion or the excitement of Austin Ekeler this week. Just because Melvin Gordon is out doesn’t mean he will get the same numbers. Yes, he is the starting running back, however we have seen this before against Tennessee when he was the starting back in the game and failed to produce. You can’t automatically assume Austin’s going to replace Gordon. I think what made him so dominate was the fact he was playing behind Gordon and he was a change of pace type running back that kept defenses guessing. With the starting role I don’t think defenses are going to be surprised and I think he will be stuffed often against the Steelers. Projection: 16 total touches for 65 yards and 4 receptionsRB LeGarrette Blount, LionsAnother example of not chasing the points Black Jawaan Taylor Jersey , Game script I suspect to be a big problem for LaGarrette this game and I don’t envision him touching the field a lot. Stafford’s going to have to throw therefore no touchdown chances. Projection: 11 carries for 45 yards RB Adrian Peterson, RedskinsHe has failed to score 9 fantasy points in three of the last four games, and the offensive line is in shambles. With gun slinger Colt McCoy at quarterback, I don’t see much work for AP. I’m guessing another dud performance. If the rumors about the Redskins looking at Kareem Hunt are true, the speculation to bring on that baggage to fill a gap speaks volumes.Projection: 14 carriers for 52 yards WR Demaryius Thomas, Texans He did score twice last week, but keep in mind he only had five targets and he is only averaging 2.7 targets per game during his tenure as a Texan. While Cleveland’s defense is giving up yards, they are also taking the ball a way. Tread lightly on him, but if you are desperate and willing to risk the position he may be a WR3 flyer.Matt’s Projection: 3 receptions for 45 yards Brian’s Projection: 5 receptions for 52 yardsWR John Brown, Ravens A receiver is only as good as his quarterback, Lamar Jackson only completed 27 passes over the last two games, therefore rendering John Brown useless. I recommend sitting all Ravens wide receivers until proven otherwise. Projection: 4 receptions for 45 yardsWR Golden Tate, Eagles Over the course of the last two games Tate been targeted 16 times. However, he’s only produced a combined 16 points from those targets. He has not been very productive in this offense Jawaan Taylor Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , with recent media reports actually speaking to his challenges adjust to being an Eagle.Projection: 6 receptions for 35 yardsTE Vance McDonald, Steelers The Chargers have only allowed four touchdowns to opposing tight-ends this year, and have been giving up roughly 42 yards per game to the position. He is also dealing with a hip injury and may not be 100%. If you are desperate for a Steelers tight-end you might want to go Jesse James.Projection: 5 receptions for 34 yardsTE Austin Hooper, Falcons Hooper has shown fantasy potential, but has only tallied 31 and 27 yards in the last two games. This offense seems to be really struggling and they’re going up against one of the top-tier defense is in Baltimore. His double digit performance against the Cleveland Browns three weeks ago is a distant memory. The defensive matchup does not favor him finding that form.Matt’s Projection: 4 receptions for 41 yardsK Chris Boswell, Steelers The Steelers score touchdowns. He averages close to six points per game. If Ben executes last week he doesn’t touch double digits. The Chargers defense is averaging just a shade under 20 PPG, and you might be tempted to ride the Steelers recent lack of productivity. Do so at your own risk.Projection: 1 for 1 on field goals and 4 for 4 on extra points Minnesota Vikings Defense The new England Patriots have only allowed 10 sacks all season, and are giving up an awfully low 0.8 giveaways a game. Tom Brady throws the ball quickly and he rarely turns the ball over. Home field advantage is on the table as the season closes out, and Brady should be a top form. The Vikings defense has underperformed this year, and this looks like a bad matchup for them.Projection: 28 points allowed with 1 sack]]> zhangzk https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75021/chicago-bears-receiver-allen-robinson-had-a-tough-time Fri, 16 Aug 2019 02:11:17 +0000 https://0xbt.net/blog/view/75021/chicago-bears-receiver-allen-robinson-had-a-tough-time LAKE FOREST Youth Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jerseys , Ill. (AP) — with the fact that there was no game to prepare for this week when he woke up Monday morning.“Pretty crazy,” he said.Safety Adrian Amos figured the Bears would be planning for their next opponent, not cleaning out their lockers.“Things happen, you know, time to take it in, put it behind you and start working for next year,” he said.Chicago’s season ended in the cruelest possible way, with embattled kicker Cody Parkey’s potential winning field goal hitting the left upright and crossbar in the closing seconds of a 16-15 wild-card loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.Instead of preparing for a trip to Los Angeles to face the Rams, the Bears turned their attention toward building on what they accomplished this season. And they accomplished quite a bit.The Monsters of the Midway went 12-4 to win the NFC North in their first season under coach Matt Nagy after four straight last-place finishes and made the playoffs for the first time in eight years. They finished with their best record since the 2006 team went 13-3 and reached the Super Bowl.They saw progress from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in his second NFL season. They dominated on defense, with Khalil Mack leading the way after a blockbuster trade from Oakland just before the season.They also made Sundays fun again in Chicago, with their coach setting the tone http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-roquan-smith-jersey , and re-energized a franchise frustrated by years of losing.“I think having such great chemistry makes today easier,” guard Kyle Long said. “Today is tough regardless, but having guys you can lean on — I’ll be going to dinner with some of these guys this week. We have real friends in this locker room, it’s not just teammates. That’s important.”The Bears have some issues to address, starting with Parkey’s future.Parkey made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with Philadelphia in 2014. He was solid for Miami in 2017. But after signing a four-year contract last March, his first season in Chicago didn’t go the way he envisioned.Parkey was 23 of 30 on field goals in the regular season and 3 of 4 in the wild-card game. He made 42 of 45 extra points. But he hit uprights on six of his misses.Parkey nailed them four times while missing two field goals and two extra points in a victory over Detroit at Soldier Field. He also hit one while missing a PAT in the regular-season finale at Minnesota.On Sunday, Parkey’s 43-yard attempt in the closing seconds hit halfway up the upright and ricocheted off the crossbar before harmlessly falling to the ground. The NFL changed the miss Monday to a block for Philadelphia’s Treyvon Hester, who touched the ball. That’s little consolation for the Bears.“To make a joke of it, hitting the upright, it takes some accuracy,” cornerback Prince Amukamara said. “He’s been hitting the upright. We know he wants to make it.”Amukamara insisted there was plenty of blame to go around for the loss Womens Eddie Goldman Jersey , such as having 10 players on the field when Dallas Goedert caught a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter.All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson (right ankle) was active but did not play. Tight end Trey Burton was inactive against his former team after being added late to the team’s injury report because of a groin problem.He said he felt some tightness Friday. He didn’t think much of it until Saturday, when his groin was “completely locked.”“I let my team down. I hate it,” he said.Burton has acknowledged his battles with anxiety. But he insisted he was in a “really good spot mentally going into this game.”The Bears could also be in the market for a defensive coordinator if Vic Fangio gets a head coaching job.In four seasons, he has helped transform a defense that ranked among the worst in franchise history. Chicago led the NFL in rushing defense, takeaways (36) and interceptions (27) while tying for third in sacks (50). And the 60-year-old Fangio is in the running for the opening in Denver.Amos could also be on the move, with an expiring contract. So does cornerback Bryce Callahan, who broke his left foot against the Rams on Dec. 9 and missed the rest of the season.Long was looking forward to an offseason with “no knives.” The three-time Pro Bowl lineman missed eight games this season because of a foot injury before returning at Minnesota. He has also had shoulder, elbow, neck and ankle surgeries in recent years.“I get to maybe take a vacation, which would be sweet,” Long said. “That would be really cool.” The Bears have brought back special teams stand out DeAndre Houston-Carson." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteWindy City GridironWindy City Gridiron - Being who you thought we were since 2005!Log In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsBearsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Latest NewsThe Bears DenNotesXs and OsSuperfansFiled under:NFL Free AgencyLatest NewsChicago Bears Free Agency 2019Bears re-sign DeAndre Houston-CarsonNew Marcus Cooper Jersey ,16commentsThe Bears have brought back special teams stand out DeAndre Houston-Carson.CDTShareTweetShareShareBears re-sign DeAndre Houston-CarsonCary Edmondson-USA TODAY SportsAfter electing to not tender an offer to exclusive rights free agent DeAndre Houston-Carson a few weeks ago, the Chicago Bears have decided to bring him back today on what is expected to be a more team friendly contract. Houston-Carson will add some safety depth to the defense, but he’s made his money in the NFL on special teams. Last year he played the third most third-phase snaps on the team at 261 (61.3%), while making a team tying six tackles and recovering a fumble in that capacity. In 2017, he led the Bears’ special teams unit with 10 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries. He’s played sparingly on defense with the Bears, and his career high in playing time came a year ago at just 46 snaps, but with a new defensive coordinator in place perhaps he’ll carve out a niche with the D. I don’t think DHC being brought back will prevent the Bears from addressing safety in the upcoming draft, but he will provide some insurance at the position this offseason.]]> zhangzk
