One of TN’s contributors — oline0175 — was gracious enough to answer my questions.1. What are Burns’ strengths and weaknesses, and how do you think he could help the Panthers’ defense in 2019?The first thing to jump out about Burns is his elite first step. Burns uses a long, quick first-step to get angles on an offensive tackle and set up a rush. Once Burns is able to get an angle, he uses his incredible athleticism to either blow by or spin around a blocker. However, he’s struggled when his initial explosiveness doesn’t give him an immediate advantage. Once an offensive tackle gets his hands on Burns, he was often neutralized at the collegiate levels. And the ACC is a far cry from the NFL. But Burns is also athletic enough to drop in coverage if asked, so if he can develop some more moves, the upside is there for Burns to be a leading sack-artist for the Panthers, and a limited liability in coverage.But Burns’ weight will always be an issue at the NFL level, and he will have to work to keep it up. When run at, Burns lacks the bulk to set an edge and is moved by more powerful offensive linemen. Early in Burns’ career, he was known to take plays off but did grow out of that in his last season at Florida State. He had to shake off a culture at FSU that saw several Seminoles checking out; to his credit, Burns responded admirably when addressed by these concerns.Burns should make a day-one impact for the Panthers’ defense. We would expect him to play during most passing situations Blue Christian McCaffrey Jersey , but he could develop into an every-down end for the Panthers as the season goes on. Double-digit sacks in his rookie campaign would be a surprise, but not a shock. Burns will bring a pass rush to a team that finished with just 35 total sacks last season. To that end, the Panthers definitely drafted a high-ceiling player at a position of need. 2. Do you think Burns will fit better as a traditional 4-3 defensive end or as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL? Why?Burns can play in either defensive setup at the next level. However, he’s at his best when he is getting up the field and rushing the passer, so the 4-3 is preferred. But he will be asked to have more run responsibility in the 4-3 defense, which is a drawback. Committing to Burns means you are going to commit to his skill set, and that means widening him out and letting him get up the field. If Burns is dropping into coverage, he is not using his greatest tool, and that is his elite quickness up the field. Carolina has utilized wide-9 looks in the past and should use them again with Burns.Seminole Everette Brown, who played with the Panthers, is now on staff with Carolina as a defensive assistant, and in a recent interview with our friends Tom Block and Keith Jones of Front Row ’Noles, he said that Burns should be playing with a hand on the ground.3. The Panthers drafted Burns at No. 16 overall. Do you think they got a good value there, or did they overdraft him?This spot seemed like a good get for Burns in the draft. He was ranked in the 20s by most draft experts Christian McCaffrey Jersey 2019 , but getting an elite pass-rusher in the mid-teens is great value. Pass-rushers are a hot commodity in the NFL, and Burns was a highly coveted prospect. There may be concern about Burns’ ability to be a three-down player, but the impact he will make as a pass-rusher could quiet those concerns. With the way the board fell, getting Burns at 16 was perfect for the Panthers. Carolina got some help from foolish picks by teams in front of them, and Burns could turn out to be a steal at 16 if he can keep his weight and explosiveness up.4. Which parts of his game do you think will best translate to the NFL? Which parts will he need to work on the most?Burns’ first step will play at any level. He’s a player who has the ability to get a first-step advantage on most offensive tackles in the league. Burns is a top-edge prospect because of his first step/athleticism, and those will not be going away anytime soon. His length will also allow him to bat down a lot of balls at the next level.The reason that Burns was not a top-10 pick is his weight. If Burns were able to play at 270, he would have been a top-5 pick. Burns is going to need to continue to get stronger, gain weight, and show he can hold up against the run. If he cannot do these things, he will struggle to stay on the field.5. If you could compare Burns to a current NFL player, who would you choose and why would you make that choice?The player comparison mentioned most is Leonard Floyd of the Chicago Bears. Floyd and Burns share many of the same physical/athletic traits. This does appear to be an accurate player comparison for Burns as he enters the NFL. The two players were highly regarded, athletic pass-rushers coming out of college, as Floyd drew similar concerns about his ability to hold up against the run. Floyd has made an impact during his time in Chicago, though he’s not been the pass-rusher the Bears had hoped for. Time will tell if Burns can be the top-notch pass-rusher that Carolina drafted him to be.What do you think Jordan Scarlett Carolina Panthers Jersey , Panthers fans? Are you excited about the pick? Why or why not? The Panthers went out of their way to make sure everyone knew they weren’t trying to replace Cam Newton when they drafted another quarterback last week.And in case you were wondering if Newton felt pressure from the addition of West Virginia’s Will Grier with the 100th overall pick, he does not.Via Josh Sims of Fox 46, Newton was asked about the addition of Grier during the grand opening of his cigar bar/restaurant in Atlanta.“A lot of people, the natural, . . . would think that I feel intimidated,” Newton said. “And that’s not the case here.“I reached out to Will, and I actually saw him play in high school with him being in Charlotte. And I’m just excited. Like I said, for him to come on a team that I know he possesses a rare talent, and I’m excited. . . . It’s my job to put myself and my team in the best situation, and get everybody ready, . . . I want to make sure that I’m [the] best teammate and my best self for everyone.”Grier grew up near Charlotte, so Newton getting a first-hand look at his new backup lends some familiarity to the process. The Panthers hadn’t drafted a quarterback since taking Newton first overall in 2011, and Grier brings a level of talent to the backup spot they haven’t enjoyed in years.
hen the Saints march into M&T Bank stadium this afternoon. Strength will battle strength when New Orleans’ top ranked scoring offense meets the Ravens top ranked scoring defense. Following a bye week Iman Marshall Baltimore Ravens Jersey , future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees is searching for his 500th career regular season passing touchdown as well as his first career win against the Ravens. After a dominating performance in Tennessee last Sunday, Baltimore is aiming for their fifth win of the season and an opportunity to take the lead in the race for AFC North supremacy. Expectations are mixed about this clash of contenders. Home field advantage should benefit the Ravens as they strive to prove defense can still provide an edge in the modern NFL. Buckle up for an exciting match.LinksTake it to the Bank: Ravens vs. Saints previewSaints @ Ravens: 3 Key MatchupsA healthier Ravens defense has a chance to prove themselves against SaintsAFC North preview: Week 7Baltimore Beatdown Picks: Week 7Social MediaPlease follow and ‘like’ us on various social media outlets.Twitter: @BMoreBeatdownFacebook: Baltimore Beatdown: For Baltimore Ravens fansInstagram: baltimore_beatdownGO RAVENS! After finishing the season 6-1 with Lamar Jackson under center and capturing the AFC North division title, the Ravens magic finally ran out on Sunday. Hosting the visiting Chargers in a wild card matchup, Baltimore dug themselves too big of a hole. For most of the game, the Ravens offense couldn’t muster any sort of rhythm. They were held scoreless in the first half and began the fourth quarter with 25 yards passing, while trailing 12-3. Simply put, Baltimore’s offense was nothing short of pitiful.Per usual, the defense played lights out and kept the Ravens somewhat within striking distance. When Baltimore’s offense finally began clicking late in the fourth quarter, it was ultimately too late. The Ravens had a chance to score a go-ahead touchdown with 45 seconds remaining, but Lamar Jackson was stripped and the Chargers recovered the loose ball. It was a disappointing finish to an entertaining season. However, while the end result may be gloomy, there were several notable plays that should not go unnoticed Youth Iman Marshall Jersey , all of which came in the second half. So, for the final time this season, take a look at all the top moments from Sunday’s action and vote for your favorite play down below. Za’Darius Smith field goal block: After a big kick return to begin the second half, the Chargers quickly found themselves in scoring territory. The Ravens defense did a good job holding them out of the endzone, forcing Michael Badgley to attempt his fifth field goal of the game. However, unlike the first four, this time the kick was blocked. Za’Darius Smith did a nice job extending over the line of scrimmage and getting his left hand on the ball to prevent the Chargers from extending their lead to 15 points. Patrick Onwuasor forced fumble: Once a special teams player only, “Peanut” has emerged as a rising defensive star to end the season. His stellar play continued on Sunday as he was all over the field, perhaps making more of an impact than any Baltimore player on either side of the ball. Onwuasor came up with yet another forced fumble early in the third quarter, punching the ball loose from the arms of Virgil Green. C.J. Mosley scooped the loose ball and returned it further into Los Angeles territory, which set up a Justin Tucker field goal to get the Ravens on the board. Javorius Allen punt block: For the second time in the third quarter, the Ravens came up with a huge special teams play Iman Marshall Baltimore Ravens Jersey , this time courtesy of “Buck” Allen. With the Chargers punting the ball away on 4th & 6, Allen found a hole in Los Angeles’ line and burst through to make a play on the ball. Allen made enough contact on the ball to force an errant punt, and the Ravens took over at the Chargers 40-yard line. While they ultimately couldn’t capitalize and put points on the board, it was an impressive play. It was also nice to see Allen make an impact after his role diminished in midseason. Michael Crabtree 31-yard touchdown reception: Both of the Ravens touchdowns were scored in the fourth quarter, and Michael Crabtree was on the receiving end of each of them. The first, seen above, cut the Ravens deficit to 13 points and sparked the comeback effort. Crabtree got free along the sideline and managed to keep his feet in bounds as Jackson hit him in the stride. If Baltimore had more big plays like this in the first three quarters, the end result would have been different. Nonetheless, it was an impressive throw and catch. Kenneth Dixon 39-yard reception: For all of Lamar Jackson’s struggles on Sunday, he managed to provide us with at least one spectacular display of athleticism and arm talent. With 3:20 remaining and the season on the line, Jackson scrambled around the pocket for more than 10 seconds, running for his life from Chargers defenders. Eventually 2019 Iman Marshall Jersey , Jackson heaved up a prayer toward midfield and Kenneth Dixon came down with an impressive grab. Was it lucky? Maybe so. However, the ball was thrown just over the outstretched arm of Derwin James and kept the Ravens drive alive. Dixon’s 39-yard reception eventually led to a touchdown, which can be seen below. Michael Crabtree 7-yard touchdown reception: Crabtree came up with another touchdown reception, this time in the redzone on 4th & 6. After scrambling to his right, Jackson delivered a strike to Crabtree, who created separation and made a diving catch at the goal line. Crabtree was originally ruled down at the 1-yard line, which would have set up the Ravens with a new set of downs. However, upon further review, it was evident that he caught the ball in the endzone before falling forward. This impressive catch made it a one possession game and gave the Ravens one last glimmer of hope.
ATLANTA (AP) — entering Sunday's game against Dallas: Slow down Ezekiel Elliott and make Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott try to beat them with his arm.The Falcons will need all their resources to corral Elliott Womens Calvin Ridley Jersey , who leads the NFL with 93 runs of 10 or more yards over the last three years.Atlanta coach Dan Quinn says his defense, which gave up 211 yards rushing in last week's loss at Cleveland, must maintain gap control against a patient, powerful running back. "He can wait to set up a block and stick his foot in the ground and really explode," Quinn said. "Oftentimes, you can see him take a handoff and see a read about to happen, then he can change the direction and really explode. I would say the second piece of that is he's really effective as a pass catcher, too."Atlanta's struggling defense was hoping to get a boost from the return of middle linebacker Deion Jones, who hasn't played since breaking his right foot in the season opener and was ruled out a couple of days after rejoining the active roster. When healthy, Jones is the Falcons' best defender. He calls the plays, is stout against the run and is fast enough to cover running backs and receivers in coverage.Jones' injury and season-ending surgeries for starting safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen have been too much for the Falcons to overcome. They rank third-worst in average yards allowed and fourth-worst in scoring average.Elliott is coming off a dazzling performance — 19 runs and six catches for 187 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns — in a win at Philadelphia. But the Cowboys had to stay the course early when Elliott had just seven yards through the team's first two possessions."Honestly, at the beginning, it was a little bit tough sledding," Elliott said. "We made some good adjustments. We have to have the same mentality going into this game."Dallas' defense faces a tough challenge in matching up against Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan and star wideout Julio Jones, who has reached 10,000 yards receiving quicker than any player in NFL history.So Calvin Ridley Jersey White , there isn't much wiggle room for either team. Both are 4-5 and trying to stay in the playoff hunt.Here are things to know about the Cowboys-Falcons matchup:THIN D-LINEThe Cowboys started practice this week with five defensive linemen sidelined by injuries: David Irving (ankle), Taco Charlton (shoulder), Maliek Collins (knee), Daniel Ross (calf) and Antwaun Woods (concussion).Collins and Woods both played more than 60 percent of the snaps against Philadelphia. If either can't play against the Falcons, the depth on the interior line will be tested.Dallas might not be able to use Tyrone Crawford outside as much to ease the load on DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory. Lawrence, who has battled shoulder issues this season and has a history of back trouble, played a season-high 90 percent of the snaps against the Eagles.FIGHTING FOR RESPECTFalcons cornerback Desmond Trufant is enduring his toughest year as a pro with five dropped interceptions, the worst coming on Cincinnati's game-winning drive in Week 4.Trufant, a first-round pick in 2013, takes the blame for not playing consistently sound fundamentals."I'm judging myself harder than anybody else can," he said. "So it is what it is. It's the league. I'm in the spotlight. I'm earning what I'm earning. It just comes with it. That's just how it goes. I'm in that position. I'll just keep working, attack the issues, stay humble. I've been here before. I'll just keep working."COMPARING PICKSThe Cowboys were high on Calvin Ridley going into the draft, having spent plenty of time with the former Alabama receiver and needing a replacement after releasing Dez Bryant, the franchise's career leader in touchdown catches, in a cost-cutting move in the offseason. Instead https://www.falconslockerroom.com/authentic-calvin-ridley-jersey , Dallas went with Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch at No. 19. The Falcons chose Ridley seven picks later.Both teams are pleased.Vander Esch set a rookie franchise record with 19 tackles against the Eagles, according to the coaches' count. Ridley leads all rookies with 500 yards receiving and has been a strong complement to Julio Jones.LOOKING BETTERPrescott was steady in leading 75-yard drives for touchdowns in the fourth quarter last week, each of which answered a TD from the Eagles. It has been an inconsistent season for the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie the Year as he ranks 33rd in average yards passing, but Dallas coach Jason Garrett says the team ignores outside criticism."Well, we don't spend much on that," Garrett said. "We spend most of our time on ourselves and what we need to do to be better. That's every one of us. Every coach. Every player. And we love Dak. Dak has done some really great things for our team in the 2½ years that he's been our starting quarterback. He's continuing to grow as a player."STAY STRONGRyan needs the threat of play-action, but that's hard to maintain when the Falcons' running game starts strong and fades. It's been a frustrating trend all season."We just need to stick with it," he said. "Last week, we just played from behind most of the third and fourth quarter, which makes it difficult to run the football. I thought that we had our opportunities. We did some nice things in the run game last week, so staying in front of the chains and staying ahead and the score is key to keeping our run game rolling." FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)Julio Jones remains in coach Dan Quinn’s good graces even after missing the opening day of the Atlanta Falcons‘ mandatory minicamp.Quinn said Tuesday he thought Jones, who missed voluntary offseason workouts , would participate in the minicamp. The coach said he found out Monday that Jones would skip the minicamp.Quinn wouldn’t share details of his conversation with Jones but said ”Sometimes football and business intersect and that’s OK and that happens a lot.”Jones has three years remaining on his five-year, $71.3 million deal with $47 million in guaranteed money but could soon have the deal tweaked. Quinn said the team is ”right in the middle” of talks with Jones, a five-time Pro Bowl selection.Quinn has emphasized ”brotherhood” and making sure players do everything as a team. Players stood together as a team on the sideline during the national anthem for all games after two players kneeled in protest early in the 2017 season.Could Jones’ absence hurt the Falcons’ unity?”No Womens Takkarist McKinley Jersey ,” Quinn said. ”I recognize the question, for sure. Do we want everybody here all the time? Hell yeah, like all the time. … What I’d say is if you ask to a man, the guy is a hell of a teammate and the time he spends here, the way he mentors people, how hard he plays, there is plenty of brotherhood in Julio.”Receiver Mohamed Sanu said he and other players were not impacted by Jones’ absence.”Whether he’s present or not, we were just focused on what we have to do today,” said Sanu, the team’s No. 2 receiver behind Jones.Jones, 29, remains one of the league’s top receivers. He earned his fourth straight Pro Bowl berth last season when he had 88 catches for 1,444 yards. It was his fourth straight season with at least 80 receptions and 1,400 receiving yards.Jones’ salary cap figure of $12.9 million for 2018 ranks seventh among NFL receivers, well behind recent deals signed by Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans ($18.252 million in 2018) and Cleveland’s Jarvis Landry ($15.5 million).Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said Monday he has been in talks with Jones and Jones’ agent, Jimmy Sexton.Sexton did not return a message from The Associated Press.Jones’ holdout comes after the Falcons made quarterback Matt Ryan the league’s top-paid player this offseason with a five-year extension that could be worth $150 million.Quinn said he was not disappointed in Jones’ decision to miss minicamp because Jones remained in constant communication and explained why his plans changed.”Sometimes circumstances change and as long as players communicate with me on why circumstances change Takkarist McKinley Jersey White , then I never am disappointed as long as communication with me is very clear,” Quinn said. ”… The things that jam me up are when people don’t communicate.”Quinn wouldn’t say if Jones will be fined for missing the first day of the three-day minicamp.Without Jones on the field, Ryan’s top targets included Sanu, rookie first-round pick Calvin Ridley and Justin Hardy. Like Jones, Ridley played at Alabama.An undrafted rookie, Christian Blake, from Northern Illinois, reached up to make an impressive catch over the middle.”All those guys, Calvin, Christian Blake, it was good to see those guys make plays and do what they do,” Sanu said.Quinn praised the rookies’ speed and said the class ”has a chance to be an excellent one.”NOTES: The team waived S Quincy Mauger, who spent his 2017 rookie season on injured reserve with a knee injury. He was an undrafted free agent from Georgia. … RB Devonta Freeman, who was slowed by a sprained right knee late last season, appeared to be fully recovered on his runs with the first-team offense.—

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsOnce the toast of the NFL, few have fallen as far in the eyes of the pundits as Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim.His work in the draft has become something that has endured ridicule, especially his first round picks. When Bruce Arians left and Keim was exposed in 2018, it left a sour taste in many mouths.So Mason Cole Jersey 2019 , when GM rankings come out over the next couple of months, don't be shocked if many read as this one does. Rotoworld ranked NFL GMs and Keim now finds himself near the bottom.I think we can all agree that Keim’s neck is on the line with the Kliff Kingsbury hire and Kyler Murray draft pick, but it is not in the immediate.They’ll get a chance to see this vision through, which will define Keim’s overall time as a general manager in the NFL.Will it be a redemption story or will this be the final act? TEMPE, Ariz. — After a tumultuous week, the Arizona Cardinals got a dramatic victory that greatly improves the team's mood heading into this coming week off."In the team meeting just now Black Chase Edmonds Jersey , you could tell the vibe was different," coach Steve Wilks said Monday.Rookie Josh Rosen threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes, the last a 9-yarder to fellow rookie Christian Kirk with 34 seconds to play, and the Cardinals rallied to beat San Francisco 18-15.The players had Monday off and were to gather at a fundraiser at a local bowling alley Monday night. The team will practice Tuesday and Wednesday before taking the rest of the week off. Arizona's next game is Nov. 11 at Kansas City."Just being able to go out there this week and continue to teach the fundamentals and technique and re-teach some things we probably touched on back in training camp," Wilks said of his plans for this week.The Cardinals are 2-6, with both wins coming over the 49ers Chase Edmonds Jersey 2019 , who dropped to 1-7. Arizona has beaten San Francisco eight straight times, tied for the second-longest active winning streak for any NFL team against a single opponent. Seattle has eight straight wins against the 49ers and Kansas City has beaten the Los Angeles Chargers nine straight times.Rosen, at 21 years, 260 days, became the youngest quarterback in the Super Bowl era to lead his team to victory from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit. He is the first rookie to do it since Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson both did in the 2012 season.Rosen had a rough outing until his fortunes changed on those two drives."His confidence, his ability to hit the reset button Black Haason Reddick Jersey ," Wilks said. "Nothing ever fazes this guy in a negative way. He takes everything and he tries to learn from it."In the final quarter, when he targeted Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald, Rosen was 6 of 7 for 109 yards. Three of Arizona's scoring drives against San Francisco were more than 70 yards — two for touchdowns and one for a field goal. They had four 70-yard drives total in their first seven games.How much of that is the responsibility of new offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is difficult to know, but he had an impact. Leftwich called plays in a regular-season game for the first time after he replaced the fired Mike McCoy.Wilks obviously was pleased with Leftwich's work."I think he's going to continue to try to be creative in his approach and put the guys in position to be successful," Wilks said.Fitzgerald had his best game of the season, with eight catches for 102 yards. In the fourth quarter Haason Reddick Jersey 2019 , he caught four for 81 yards and a touchdown and had a two-point conversion catch.The 15-year NFL veteran has 18 TD catches against the 49ers and the Rams, the most against a single opponent by any active player.Fitzgerald's 13-yard touchdown catch was the 112th TD reception of his career, moving him ahead of Tony Gonzalez into seventh on the NFL career list. His 47 100-yard receiving games are most among any active player."Larry is phenomenal," Wilks said.

ATLANTA (AP) — ce their way.They hope that’s the start of more good fortune.After a hugely disappointing start to season Takkarist McKinley Jersey Discount , the Falcons snapped a three-game losing streak with a 34-29 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the game ending on a wacky play that nearly worked.With no timeouts and needing a touchdown from the Falcons 21, Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston surprisingly took off running down the middle of the field. As the defense closed in at the 10, he pitched the ball to his left. Adam Humphries had it briefly but lost control. Mike Evans scooped up the loose ball and lateraled it again. DeSean Jackson had a chance to grab it at the 5 and dive for the end zone, but the ball squirted under his hands and out of bounds.Game over.“They certainly had a shot for it,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “We’ve had some go the other way on the final play, so it was nice to be on the side where we were on top on the final play.”Indeed, Atlanta (2-4) came into the game with three heartbreaking losses. They were in position to knock off Super Bowl champion Philadelphia but couldn’t complete a short pass in end zone on the final play. They lost to the Saints in overtime after giving up the tying touchdown with just over a minute remaining. They fell to Cincinnati on a 13-yard TD pass with 7 seconds to go.This time, the Falcons benefited from some huge breaks against the Bucs (2-3). Demontae Kazee picked off a long pass at his own 1 after Winston overthrew his intended receiver. Early in the third quarter, the Bucs had first-and-goal at the Atlanta 2, but Peyton Barber was stuffed for no gain, a false start on tight end Antony Auclair backed them up to the 7 Takkarist McKinley Jersey Super Bowl , and Winston’s pass over the middle was deflected high in the air. When it finally came down, Brian Poole was there to make the interception.“We needed that win,” Kazee said. “I’ve been depressed the past three or four weeks.”Matt Ryan had a huge game for the Falcons, completing 31 of 41 for 354 yards and three touchdowns. Winston, in his first start of the season, was 30 of 41 for 395 yards and four touchdowns, but the two picks marred his performance.Some issues that emerged from the Falcons victory over Tampa Bay:OFFENSIVE DEFENSESThese teams came in into the game ranked at the bottom of the league in points allowed.Neither gave much indication that they’ve addressed their defensive shortcomings.The Falcons surrendered more than 500 yards for the second time this season. The Bucs were torched for touchdowns on Atlanta’s first three possessions, then gave up two more scoring drives in the final quarter, which is sure to keep the heat on defensive coordinator Mike Smith.HOBBLED KICKERMatt Bryant looked like he might be in for an extended recuperation period after making a crucial 57-yard field goal with 1:10 remaining.The 43-year-old immediately clutched the back of his right leg, limped slowly off the field and headed straight to the locker room.While it wasn’t immediately known how seriously he was injured, Atlanta may at the very least need to bring in a second kicker this week in case Bryant can’t go in next Monday night’s game against the New York Giants.After that, the Falcons have a bye week Takkarist McKinley Jersey For Sale , which would give Bryant extra time to recover.KAZEE GETS COMFORTABLEKazee is settling in as a starter in the Falcons’ injury plagued secondary.The second-year safety has picked off passes in three straight games , the first Atlanta player to accomplish that feat since Kemal Ishmael in 2014.Atlanta lost its top two safeties — Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen — to season-ending injuries.POOLE’S HITPoole could be a little lighter in the wallet after delivering a big hit on Winston late in the first half.As Winston glided toward the sideline at the end of a 5-yard run, Poole sent the quarterback flying with a shot to the chest. Tampa Bay center Ryan Jensen went after Poole, leading to some minor scuffling before order was restored.No penalty was called for the hit, but the replay showed Poole lowered his helmet before striking Winston’s helmet. That could lead to a fine from the NFL when it reviews the play.LOSING STREAKWhile the Falcons halted their three-game losing streak, Tampa Bay has now lost three in a row after a 2-0 start.Winston said it’s too early to panic.“Yes, it was a tough loss in the division, but we’re still in a good spot,” the quarterback said. “We have to execute better, I have to protect the football and we will win games.”The Bucs now trail idle New Orleans (4-1) by two games in the NFC South. Carolina (3-2) also slipped back with a 23-17 loss to Washington.

It is fun to see what prospects are up, which ones are down, and which ones end up with the Falcons.Kiper’s first iteration had the Falcons taking the athletic but misused Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Great! Atlanta could use more push up the middle and it would be tough to pass on a player of his talent.Kiper’s second iteration had the Falcons taking the athletic but misused Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Great! Atlanta could use more push up the middle and it would be tough to pass on a player of his talent.Kiper’s third and latest iteration had the Falcons taking the athletic but misused Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver. Great! Atlanta could use more push up the middle and it would be tough to pass on a player of his talent.He sure isn’t giving Atlanta fans much to work with. Kiper likes adding Oliver next to Grady Jarrett, especially now that his measurables from the draft confirm he is not worryingly undersized. He believes Oliver could play snaps at the edge, giving Dan Quinn that versatile Adrian Clayborn/Michael Bennett type that could give offenses trouble.The Falcons are almost certainly planning to take a defensive lineman in round one, but at spot 14 miss out on pass rushers Montez Sweat and Rashan Gary according to the mock, heading to Detroit and Buffalo. If Thomas Dimitroff is thinking of trading up (and he is certainly always thinking about trading up), Dimitroff should call up good friend and former Falcons front office director of college scouting David Caldwell. The Jaguars GM could help Atlanta jump over Detroit and Buffalo at pick 7, giving Atlanta their pick of the best defensive lineman after top picks Nick Bosa, Josh Allen, and Quinnen Williams.

One way or another, the true 2018 Ravens will reveal themselves when pitted against their arch rival Steelers in Week 9. Winners and losers from the 2018 NFL trade deadline - Gregg RosenthalMoving upKnown as a capable receiving back, Ty Montgomery may prove to be a valuable midseason addition. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Eric Weddle walked into the interview room in full uniform. Then the Baltimore Ravens well-bearded safety did a little dance and made a proclamation.“I told you,” Weddle said. “These ain’t the same Ravens.”After two years and two painful near misses, he might be right. Baltimore can win in Pittsburgh again Youth Lamar Jackson Jersey , fueling confidence the Ravens can win anywhere.The proof came in a cruelly efficient 26-14 victory over their AFC North rivals on Sunday night that looked an awful lot like how it used to look when Baltimore had it going earlier in head coach John Harbaugh’s tenure.Joe Flacco threw for a 363 yards and a pair of scores. Justin Tucker kicked four second-half field goals. Baltimore’s defense did the rest, keeping Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown under wraps over the final 30 minutes as the Ravens (3-1) ended a three-game losing streak to the Steelers (1-2-1).“You can’t become a true Raven until you win in Pittsburgh,” Weddle said. “I’ve officially become a Raven. What a great team win.”Pittsburgh managed just 47 yards in the second half, sputtering in a place the Steelers have so often soared. Not this time. Not on a night they converted just 2 of 12 third downs and didn’t take a snap in Baltimore territory after halftime.“I just didn’t make enough plays, point blank,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ll take ownership on this game. Squarely on me.”Two years ago, the Ravens fell on Brown’s “Immaculate Extension” on Christmas night. Last winter, Baltimore scored 38 at Heinz Field … and got beat on a field goal in the final minute. Those memories have been hard to shake.“I think it was all in the back of our heads,” Weddle said. “The way we’ve lost here has not been fun.”Maybe that’s what made this one a little sweeter than most. Even Harbaugh admitted this wasn’t just another opponent and this wasn’t just another victory Lamar Jackson Men Jersey , answering loudly “yes it does” when asked if there was a different vibe this time around.The Steelers (1-2-1) came in having won nine straight Sunday night appearances. Baltimore brought Pittsburgh’s run to an abrupt end. Roethlisberger finished 27 of 47 for 274 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Steelers. Brown caught five passes for 62 yards, including his second touchdown pass in as many weeks.Yet Pittsburgh couldn’t generate anything in the second half. The Steelers mustered three first downs after the break and there was no balance to be found. Pittsburgh ran the ball 11 times for 19 yards, the absence of All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell — who has yet to sign his franchise tender — growing more acute by the week.Harbaugh awarded one of the game balls to the defense. Defensive coordinator Don Martindale accepted after putting together a plan that Weddle said had the Ravens a step ahead.It certainly looked that way. While Pittsburgh floundered, Flacco put together a string of clock-consuming possessions that ended with field goals by the ever reliable Tucker as Baltimore proved its strong start was no fluke.Harbaugh called Flacco’s play “phenomenal.” Flacco isn’t quite ready to go that far. If anything, he was angry the two teams were tied at the half after Baltimore let an early 14-point lead get away.“I really felt like we could have had 28, 30, 35 points out there at halftime,” Flacco said. “These guys and the way these games have been … especially the last couple years, you don’t want to leave points out there.”The Steelers came in hoping the defense was slowly starting to find itself after forcing four turnovers last Monday night in Tampa during a victory Pittsburgh believed would resuscitate its season.Not quite.Flacco wasted little time helping Baltimore race to a 14-0 advantage. He found John Brown open on a 33-yard touchdown pass on Baltimore’s opening possession. Brown was double covered when Flacco let the ball go. By the time Brown chased it down in the end zone Color Rush Lamar Jackson Jersey , both Steelers were two steps behind him and the Ravens were in front.Three snaps later Baltimore had the ball back thanks to a strip by safety Tony Jefferson. It took the Ravens just four plays to go up two touchdowns, when Flacco flipped the ball in the flat to a wide-open Collins. The score marked the 13th straight red-zone trip by Baltimore that ended with a Ravens touchdown, the longest streak to start a season in NFL history.Baltimore’s 14th red-zone trip ended up far differently and briefly swung momentum. The Ravens had the ball at the Pittsburgh 2 with a chance to move ahead three scores when Steelers free safety Sean Davis ripped the ball from Collins and Pittsburgh rookie strong safety Terrell Edmunds recovered.Pittsburgh put together a lengthy drive that resulted in a Chris Boswell field goal to get within 14-6. The Steelers tied it with 2:50 left in the first half on a pretty 26-yard back-shoulder throw by Roethlisberger to Brown in the end zone and the ensuing 2-point conversion grab by Conner.Baltimore, however, kept coming as Pittsburgh crumbled.UP NEXTRavens: Visit Cleveland next Sunday.Steelers: Host Atlanta next Sunday. Pittsburgh has won its last two meetings against the Falcons.
CHARLOTTE Donte Jackson Men Jersey , N.C. (AP)Pavis said he has been suspended by the NFL and will miss the first four games of next season after testing positive for a banned substance.Davis posted a video on his Twitter account on Friday saying that he tested positive for an estrogen blocker.”I was completely caught off guard by this,” said the 35-year-old Davis. ”I have never done anything to intentionally try to cheat the game. It’s one of those situations where the NFL rules are clear. They state that you are responsible for what you put into your body.”Davis, a former Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner, said he has been taking the same supplements for the last seven or eight years and never had any issues.He said he has never tested positive for a steroid of HGH, and wanted fans to know that wasn’t the issue.”Unfortunately this is some of the things that happen when you take supplements,” said Davis Color Rush Donte Jackson Jersey , Carolina’s all-time leading tackler.Panthers general manager Marty Hurney did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.The 13-year NFL veteran has been one of the NFL’s success stories, returning from three separate torn ACLs in the same knee to play in three straight Pro Bowls (2015-17) and help the Panthers reach the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2015.He is one of the most popular players in franchise history in large part because of how active and visible he is in the community.He won the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2015 – an award given to one NFL player each year for his volunteer and charity work, as well as his excellence on the field.Davis said he has never done anything to try to create a competitive advantage over other players.”I have always tried to do things the right way,” Davis said. ”I can tell you guys that my conscience is clear in this situation and as bad as it hurts me to tell you this, I know it is going to hurt a lot of people who have looked up and believed in Thomas Davis over the years. But just know that in no way I have done anything to try to cheat this game.”Davis said earlier this offseason that the 2018 season would be his last in the NFL.But he left open the possibility of playing beyond 2018 on Friday Donte Jackson Jersey Boys , saying ”who knows, maybe this isn’t my last year.”— Panthers owner David Tepper wants to build a new indoor practice facility for his team (actually a development project so he can make more money), and it appears he’s decided to do so in South Carolina.According to Andy Shain of the , the Panthers are “actively looking” for a site south of the border (but not at South of the Border) for what would be as much of a project including hotels, restaurants, shopping and residences as it is a place to practice when it rains.The Panthers always worked to have a presence in both North and South Carolina under owner Jerry Richardson Cheap Donte Jackson Jersey , who went to college at Wofford and put his team’s training camp there (Spartanburg). But they used Winthrop University (in Rock Hill) as their base of operations in their first season, until Bank of America Stadium in downtown Charlotte was built. They also played their first year of home games at Clemson University.One of the sites being looked at is an 80-acre site in Fort Mill, which used to be the home to the local minor league baseball stadium and the NBA Hornets’ practice facility.Tepper has indicated his preference is to keep the team’s stadium at its current location in Charlotte, but moving the team’s offices and practice fields offsite would allow him to use that valuable real estate in and near the stadium for parking and revenue-generating projects.Tepper was named an honorary co-chairman of South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s inaugural committee, an indication of the way he’s been working with officials in that state to keep a footprint in both states. The committee said Tepper hasn’t donated any money, but even if a public official doesn’t say it out loud Custom Donte Jackson Jersey , the tax breaks and incentives that come with moving any large business into a state will be considerable.
ts The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Chicago Bears Xavier Williams Jersey , 27-20, Saturday afternoon in their third preseason game of the season.Here were the snap counts for the Chiefs:OffenseDefenseStarters (offense): QB Patrick Mahomes, RB Kareem Hunt, TE Travis Kelce, WR Tyreek Hill, WR Sammy Watkins, WR Chris Conley, LT Eric Fisher, LG Cam Erving, C Mitch Morse, RG Andrew Wylie, RT Mitch SchwartzStarters (defense): NT Derrick Nnadi, RDE Jarvis Jenkins, LDE Chris Jones, LOLB Justin Houston, LILB Anthony Hitchens, RILB Reggie Ragland, ROLB Dee Ford, LCB Dave Amerson, RCB Kendall Fuller, SS Leon McQuay Patrick Mahomes Jersey , FS Eric MurrayDid not play: QB Matt McGloin, WR Josh Crockett, WR Jordan Smallwood, CB Steve Nelson, RB Kerwynn Williams, S Eric Berry, CB Keith Reaser, FB Algeron Brown, RB Ray Lawry, CB Step Durham, S Daniel Sorensen, LB Otha Peters, OL Jimmy Murray, OL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, WR Daniel Braver, WR Blake Mack, DE Allen Bailey, DT Xavier WilliamsTakeaways (in no particular order)Spencer Ware played 23 offensive snaps in his preseason debut.De’Anthony Thomas only played four offensive snaps in his preseason debut. The amount of offensive snaps worries me for Thomas. If Chiefs find that Tremon Smith is capable as a kick and punt returner, Thomas’ role on the team could become obsolete, giving way for the Chiefs to keep some younger wide receivers with greater upside.Speaking of those receivers, Marcus Kemp had 14 offensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps Mitch Morse Jersey , Gehrig Dieter had 13 offensive snaps and two special-teams snaps and Jehu Chesson had only three special-teams snaps. I think Kemp, who used his playing time to score a touchdown, is shaping up to be the Chiefs’ final receiver kept at the 53-man cutdown.Demetrius Harris, who is suspended Week 1, had just four offensive snaps. After sitting last week against the Falcons, rookie Chase Litton took all 11 third-team reps at quarterback this week.Safety Leon McQuay led all Chiefs defenders in defensive snaps with 45.In their preseason debut, Anthony Hitchens saw 43 defensive plays while Reggie Ragland saw 33. Perhaps Hitchens is a little further along.Tanoh Kpassagnon and Breeland Speaks were at outside linebacker for 31 defensive snaps; Starters Justin Houston and Dee Ford played 11.Chris Jones barely played. He was on the field for six snaps. FINAL: Chiefs 37, Browns 21Fourth QuarterDustin Colquitt punts 42 yards to end the game. Chiefs win 37-21. Baker Mayfield starts the next drive strong, opening with a 14-yard pass then a 38-yard pass to put the Browns at the KC 31, but on his third play, he’s intercepted by KC’s Steven Nelson, Chiefs get the ball at their own 35. Chiefs gain 31 yards in their first two plays, then, at 3rd & 11, Mahomes gets sacked at the Cleveland 37 for a 13 yard loss and the drive ends in a punt by Dustin Colquitt. The Browns next drive end quickly after Chiefs defense comes up big and makes a stop on 4th down. Offense takes over at the KC 47. Sammy Watkins injury update: Kareem Hunt starts the drive strong by breaking free and running 10 yards outside to the KC 35 for first down. Sammy Watkins gets injured on 2nd & 10 at the Cleveland 47 and leaves the field slowly following the play. The Chiefs get all the way to the Cleveland 21 on the drive, but at 3rd & 9, Mahomes is nearly intercepted after trying to get out of pressure and throw to Demarcus Robinson. Kansas City ends the drive by going for a 39-yard field goal and it’s good from Butker. Chiefs lead 37-21. On 3rd & Goal, Baker Mayfield, who returned to the field, finds Johnson for a 5-yard touchdown. They go for the extra 2 again, but no good. Chiefs lead 34-21. Third QuarterMayfield finds Perriman who gets across the 40 for a Cleveland first down. Then Chris Jones Jersey , two plays later, nearly gets picked off by Kendall Fuller. After throwing a combined 45 yards, Mayfield gets sacked by Chris Jones at the KC 23 when the Browns are 2nd & Goal. Mayfield is injured on the sack and Tyrod Taylor enters the game at 3rd & Goal. On his first play, Taylor finds Njoku for 11 yards at the KC 12 and Anthony Hitchens picks up a 6-yard Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty on the play, which is enforced at the 12. The Browns next drive ends in a blocked punt from Britton Colquitt by Damien Williams. The ball rolls out of bounds at the Cleveland 21. Kareem Hunt runs it on the first play for 11 yards to put the Chiefs 1st & Goal at the 10. Hunt finishes the drive by running it in for a 10-yard touchdown — his third on the day. Chiefs lead, 34-15.Some insight on Kelce’s touchdown:Mahomes getting closer to breaking more records today:Mahomes finds 6 different Chiefs on their opening second half drive, which ends in a 13-yard touchdown by Travis Kelce. Chiefs lead 28-15 over the Browns. On their first play of the opening second half drive, Tyreek Hill picks up 7 yards, but Andrew Wylie is called for a 10-yard Offensive Holding penalty that’s enforced at the KC 29. HALFTIME: Chiefs 21, Browns 15Second QuarterA weird first half ending for the Chiefs. With 9 seconds left on the clock, Mahomes spikes the ball to end the half and is called for a 10-yard Intentional Grounding penalty — despite the clock having moved from 9 seconds to 8. Chiefs have to stay on the field and on the first play following the call, Mahomes finds Spencer Ware at the Cleveland 43 for 9 yards. Then, while under pressure, and on the last play before the clock runs out, Mahomes throwsan interception on a long pass that was intended for Hill. A 17-yard pass from Mayfield to Landry and an 8-yard run by Johnson puts Cleveland within striking distance and they find the closer. Mayfield finds Johnson for a 19-yard touchdown on the last complete drive before the half. Browns go for the 2 point conversion again, but it’s no good. Chiefs lead 21-15. Two plays later, Chiefs’ Derrick Nnadi called for Encroachment, which is enforced at the KC 49. Mayfield finds Higgins for a combined 11 yards then connects on a screen pass to Johnson for 10 yards on first down. Dee Ford comes up big for the Chiefs with a QB strip sack on Baker Mayfield at the Cleveland 38, but he’s called offsides.Chiefs injury update for Tyreek Hill:Another Browns injury update for their thinning secondary: Hunt finishes the drive strong with a 9-yard run to put the Chiefs in close range and runs it in on the next play for a 1-yard TOUCHDOWN. Chiefs lead 21-9.Mahomes hits Hill again, this time, for 8 yards at the Cleveland 13. On the next play Steven Nelson Jersey , Mahomes gets sacked at the 15 for a 2-yard loss and Mitchell Schwartz picks up a 10-yard Offensive Holding penalty, which is enforced at the 13. Chiefs come out strong and pick up some major yards early and fast. Mahomes finds Sammy Watkins for 19 yards then Tyreek Hill for a whopping 40 yards at the Cleveland 16. Chiefs get a 5-yard, Delay Of Game penalty, which is enforced at the 16. Nick Chubb runs for a combined 25 yards over 6 of 7 plays to help get the Browns to the KC 47. Mayfield then finds Duke Johnson, who gets past Breeland Speaks, for a massive 23 yards and a first down. Chubb finishes the drive strong for the Browns with a 3-yard run into the end zone. Cleveland goes for 2 points, but it’s picked off by Kendall Fuller. Chiefs 14, Browns 9. Browns injury update: Chiefs get an automatic first down following a Defensive Pass Interference call on Cleveland, Mahomes capitalizes throwing an 11-yard touchdown to Travis Kelce to extend the lead. Chiefs 14, Browns 3. First QuarterKareem Hunt runs it for 25 yards to open Kansas City’s final drive of the quarter. Mahomes then finds Sammy Watkins for 27 yards at the Cleveland 18, but Cameron Erving called for Offensive Holding, which sets Chiefs back 10 yards. Mahomes then gets sacked for a 2-yard loss at the KC 48, but the Chiefs respond and close out the first quarter with Spencer Ware getting on the end of a screen pass from Mahomes then taking it 25 yards on 3rd-and-20.Browns open the drive with 9 combined rush yards from Breshad Perriman. On 2nd & 10 at the KC 46, Mayfield finds Njoku at the KC 27 for 19 yards. Eric Murray almost called for Pass Interference, but the Browns don’t get the call in their favor. Jordan Lucas comes up big for the Chiefs with a QB sack on Baker Mayfield on third down, ending Cleveland’s drive in a field goal attempt, which is good for a whopping 51-yards. Chiefs 7, Browns 3. Chiefs close out their opening drive with at 50-yard TOUCHDOWN by Kareem Hunt! Chiefs lead, 7-0Chiefs finds Kelce deep left for a massive 21-yard gain.Sammy Watkins and Tyreek Hill combine for 13 yards and on the next play, Watkins gets a 10-yard penalty for Offensive Holding enforced at the KC 39.Mahomes opens with an incomplete pass to Travis Kelce and on the next play, Cleveland’s TJ Carrie picks up a 6-yard penalty for Defensive Interference.Anthony Hitchens leaves the field due to his persisting rib injury and is listed as questionable to return. The Browns go for it on 4th-and-1 from the midfield Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , but the 9 play drive ultimately ends in a punt by Colquitt, which puts KC’s offense at their own 5 for their opening drive. Breeland Speaks comes up big on third down with a huge hit on Nick Chubb following a 17-yard gain on the previous play. Anthony Hitchens, who’s been battling an injury and had been questionable going into today’s game, is not only active, but starting for the Chiefs as well. No surprise, the Chiefs win their 9th straight coin toss and defer to the secondary.

hance to show the Miami Dolphins he’s not a bust.The unlucky Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey nfl draft , underachieving receiver signed an incentive-laden, two-year deal Tuesday worth up to $13 million that replaces a $9.4 million fifth-year option on his original contract.The Dolphins had been expected to rescind the option for 2019 and let Parker become a free agent. But his agent, Jimmy Gould, said Parker loves Miami, wasn’t interested in testing the market, and is eager for a chance to blossom under new Dolphins coach Brian Flores.“It was always DeVante’s desire to remain in Miami Daniel Kilgore Jersey , and especially with a chance to work with this new coaching staff,” Gould said. “It’s like a new start for him.”Last season Gould publicly questioned the competence of coach Adam Gase and complained about how Parker was used. Gase’s firing after the season opened the door for Parker’s return.The 14th player taken in the 2015 draft, Parker has been plagued by injuries and has scored just nine touchdowns while making 31 starts in four seasons. Last year he had 24 catches for 309 yards and one score while missing five games because of finger and quadriceps issues.His new deal reflected the Dolphins’ thrifty approach to free agency as the market heats up. After missing the playoffs for the 15th time in 17 years, they have begun a reboot and youth movement under Flores and acknowledge it may take several seasons to build a winner.Rather than engage in a bidding war, they allowed Ja’Wuan James to depart this week to Denver, where he’s expected to sign a four-year Youth Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey , $51 million contract that makes him the highest-paid right tackle in the NFL.Miami also declined to overpay to keep last year’s leading rusher and receiver. Running back Frank Gore reached an agreement on a $2 million, one-year contract with the Bills, and receiver Danny Amendola accepted a $5.75 million, one-year offer from the Lions.The Dolphins did add tight end Dwayne Allen, who agreed to a $7 million, two-year contract. Did you expect to see Adam Gase’s name tied for 3rd in Vegas odds to win Head Coach of the Year? After barely escaping the equivalent of fingernails scratching a chalkboard Sunday versus the New York Jets Josh Sitton Jersey , the Miami Dolphins emerged with a 13-6 victory.Coincidentally, Gase shares odds with his former stomping grounds, the Chicago Bears’ Head Coach Matt Nagy. Gase and Nagy trail the front runners of 8-1 clubs: Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs and Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams. (No Bill Belichick? Not that I’m complaining, but...)The Miami Dolphins beleaguered Head Coach has been under the microscope for the lack of opening scripts and slow starts, the unsolved QB position, and his control (play calling Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , scheming, etc...) over an offense that barely escapes the bottom quartile in scoring. Reshad Jones removed himself from the game Sunday vs. the Jets. He’s had an Offensive Line Coach resign for confessing his love to a stripper while “allegedly” snorting a white substance into his nose during a self-recorded video at team HQ.Question marks abound, Adam Gase still has the Miami Dolphins team in the hunt. As many daggers that get tossed his way, and some of them rightfully so, Gase has shown a propensity for resiliency. Injuries decimated the 2017 roster as well as seriously encumber the 2018 season; the 2016 season reminds us of an improbable ride to a Wild Card berth. I find these to be volatile times for Adam Gase in terms of public perception (not that he gives a rat’s ass). Is he the “offensive-minded QB whisperer” who hasn’t made the slightest dent in resolving the Miami Dolphins offensive woes, or is this a guy who’s been semi-routinely making chicken salad out of chicken Jets (see what I did there?) and we as fans simply fail to notice? Is the reality somewhere in between?Better yet Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , let’s do a poll and give as much detail as you like down in the Comments Section:

His cap figure for 2019 will be around $700,000.Just about. . .oh, I don’t know, ten minutes ago or so. . .yours truly passed along the news that the Minnesota Vikings had signed three members of their 2019 NFL Draft class.Apparently that just wasn’t good enough, as during that ten-minute span that number increased from three to eight.The Vikings just announced on the team website that they have also signed the following members of their draft class:Alexander Mattison, RB, Boise State (third-round pick)Dru Samia, G, Oklahoma (fourth-round pick)Cameron Smith, LB, Southern Cal (fifth-round pick)Dillon Mitchell http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-riley-reiff-jersey , WR, Oregon (seventh-round pick)Olabisi Johnson, WR, Colorado State (seventh-round pick)This means that the only picks that the Vikings have not yet signed are their first round pick, North Carolina State center Garrett Bradbury, sixth-round pick Armon Watts, the defensive tackle from Arkansas, Texas cornerback Kris Boyd, who they selected in the seventh round, and Air Force long snapper Austin Cutting, who was also a seventh-round choice.It doesn’t sound as though the Vikings are going to get Bradbury signed before the start of rookie mini-camp, but there’s a good chance that the other three that have not yet signed could get their deals finished as well. If today is any indication, Watts, Boyd Womens Everson Griffen Jersey , and Cutting will probably have their deals finished sometime in the next ten or fifteen minutes.Once we get financial details of these contracts, which I assume are all four-year deals, we’ll update this post with those particulars.Congratulations to Alexander Mattison, Dru Samia, Cameron Smith, Dillon Mitchell, and Olabisi Johnson on officially becoming members of the National Football League! The competiveness of the NFL leaves little room for sentiment, not even for the most accomplished, respected or trusted players.Brian Robison and Terence Newman were the latest reminders of that, left off the regular-season roster by the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday when the deadline for reaching the 53-player limit arrived.The Vikings released Robison before his 12th season with the team was to begin. Then, they announced that Newman will retire and immediately join the coaching staff — three days before his 40th birthday.Robison, who's tied for ninth in Vikings history with 60 career sacks, was the longest-tenured player on the team. Drafted in the fourth round in 2007, he spent six of his 11 years with the Vikings as a full-time starter. Danielle Hunter moved ahead of him on the depth chart in 2017 Brett Jones Jersey , and for the second straight offseason Robison took a pay cut to return in 2018.With Stephen Weatherly (third year) and Tashawn Bower (second year) performing well in the preseason as backups to Hunter and Everson Griffen, Robison's adjusted $1.1 million salary was still too much for the Vikings to carry considering the 35-year-old's reduced role."This one hurts, but it's not goodbye," Robison wrote in a thank-you message on his Twitter account . "More like see you later."The Vikings felt strongly enough about Robison that they included statements from owners Zygi and Mark Wilf, general manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer in their announcement of his release."Brian has been one of the best leaders I've seen in my career, and I'm happy I got the opportunity to coach him," Zimmer said. "He's been such a great player for us and an even better help building the kind of culture we want with this team."Newman joined the Vikings in 2015, reuniting with Zimmer after playing for him with Dallas (four seasons) and Cincinnati (two seasons) when Zimmer was the defensive coordinator for those teams. The fifth overall pick in the 2003 draft, Newman has 42 career interceptions, which was the most among active players following the retirement this spring of DeAngelo Hall. With Newman's announcement, Carolina's Julius Peppers (age 38) becomes the oldest defensive player in the league.The Vikings said they'd provide more details on Newman's role on the coaching staff in the near future. In addition to serving as a valuable mentor to starters Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes, Newman stepped in capably in the slot as the nickel cornerback when Mackensie Alexander struggled. The Vikings drafted Mike Hughes in the first round, though, giving them plenty of depth.Robison and Newman were the only two players older than 30 on the roster. Strong safety Andrew Sendejo (Sept. 9) http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-hughes-jersey , cornerback/punt returner Marcus Sherels (Sept. 30) and Griffen (Dec. 22) will turn 31 during the season.The Vikings cut seven wide receivers this weekend, including Chad Beebe, Cayleb Jones and Kendall Wright. Beebe, the son of former Buffalo folk hero Don Beebe, had a standout preseason but was out of action with an injury this week. Jones was charged with domestic assault and two other crimes this week for allegedly shoving his girlfriend during an argument at a hotel. Wright has 339 career catches, after playing his first five seasons in the NFL with Tennessee and last year for Chicago.The fifth and final wide receiver spot on the team went to Brandon Zylstra, a native of Spicer, Minnesota, who played at NCAA Division III Concordia College and played the last two seasons in the CFL.The Vikings placed backup linebacker and special teams contributor Kentrell Brothers on the suspended list, for a previously announced punishment from the NFL for violating the performance-enhancing substances policy.Center Pat Elflein was removed from the physically unable to perform list after being held out for the entire preseason following offseason ankle and shoulder surgeries. If he's not cleared to play in the season opener on Sept. 9 against San Francisco, either Brett Jones or Danny Isidora will play center. Cornelius Edison, who spent much of training camp as the first team center, was among the players released.
s one of the best and most versatile athletes in the NFL."One of the biggest highlights from the Panthers’ 2018 season came from Christian McCaffrey’s monster campaign. He produced 1098 rushing yards on 219 attempts and 867 receiving yards on 107 receptions. He was 133 yards short of becoming the third running back in NFL history to have 1000 yards in both rushing and receiving. The other two backs were Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk. Both Craig and Faulk had more time to achieve this feat Taylor Moton Jersey 2019 , though. Craig met the goal while he played in the playoffs with the San Francisco 49ers in 1985. Faulk met the goal in 1999 when his Rams won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the Panthers didn’t play well enough in the second half of the season for McCaffrey to have enough time to meet this achievement. However, he did get an all-pro selection, so he did receive some appropriate recognition for his incredible season. He also made NFL history with this incredible stat below:McCaffrey is at the top of this list, and it is full of wide receivers (with the exception of Reggie Bush). As a 22 year old, he has more receptions than the likes of Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald when they were his age. If that wasn’t impressive enough, check out this phenomenal highlight tape he posted:Personally youth Luke Kuechly Jersey , I believe he will get 1000 single-season yards in both rushing and receiving someday. He is that good. The Panthers just need to perform much better while McCaffrey is in his prime. What do you think, Panthers fans? PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eric Reid and Malcolm Jenkins turned the fight for racial and social justice into a skirmish on the field. Reid then went on offense with his postgame comments, calling the Eagles safety and co-founder of The Players Coalition “a sellout.”Reid split from the coalition last year because Jenkins had excluded Colin Kaepernick from meetings, and asked players if they would stop protesting during the national anthem if the NFL made a charitable donation to causes they support. Reid, who signed with the Carolina Panthers in September, said he believed he no longer had shared interests with the socially-active coalition and would continue on his own path with the unsigned Kaepernick, who was the first player to sit and then kneel during the anthem to protest racism and police brutality.“We believe a lot of players should have stepped up for Colin Stitched Luke Kuechly Jersey ,” Reid said Sunday after the Panthers beat the Eagles 21-17. “I believe Malcolm capitalized on the situation. He co-opted the movement that was started by Colin to get his organization funded. It’s cowardly. He sold us out.”Jenkins took the high road when told in the Eagles’ locker room of the criticism.“I’m not going to get up here and say anything negative about that man,” Jenkins said. “I respect him. I’m glad he has a job. I’m glad he’s back in the league. I’ll leave it like that.”Reid, who was not supposed to be at midfield, and Jenkins jawed at each other shortly before kickoff.Reid continued his tradition of taking a knee during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” while none of his Carolina teammates joined him or stood near him at midfield. Reid is trying to call attention to social and racial injustice.“It’s systematic oppression which is what I’m protesting and neocolonialism,” he said. “Man, it keeps happening.”Reid has essentially accused of Jenkins of running The Players Coalition through a dependence on the NFL. The league is committing $90 million over the next seven years to social justice causes in a three-segment plan that involves players.Reid said Jenkins’ goal was to always have the NFL fund the coalition.“That’s what he set out to do Youth Bruce Irvin Jersey ,” Reid said.Reid insisted he didn’t set out to confront Jenkins. But that’s what happened before kickoff. Reid, playing his third game with the Panthers, had to be restrained by players and coaches and stared down Jenkins during player introductions. Reid continued to pop off toward the Eagles sideline after an early tackle, clearly fired up by his showdown with Jenkins.“As long as we’re able to keep him under control, I don’t even want to use that word ‘control,’ but as long as we’re able to try and get him calm so we can get focused and back on playing the game, I really do appreciate the effort he put in playing the game Stitched Bruce Irvin Jersey ,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.Reid hit Carson Wentz well after a handoff and Zach Ertz gamely tried to defend his QB. Ertz charged at Reid, who put his head down and flipped the tight end with a WWE-style slam onto the turf. Both players received personal foul penalties.“He ran up on me,” Reid said. “That’s a football play. Whenever there’s an exchange, the quarterback is a running back.”Reid, signed by the Panthers when safety Da’Norris Searcy suffered a season-ending concussion, wore a T-shirt reading “I KNOW MY RIGHTS” in the locker room and refused to ease up on Jenkins or apologize for wiping out Ertz.“I think it was James Baldwin that said, ‘To be black in America and to be relatively conscious is to be in a constant state of anger Youth Graham Gano Jersey ,'” Reid said. “I’m in a constant state of anger.”He filed a grievance against the NFL alleging teams colluded against signing him during free agency because he knelt during the national anthem alongside Kaepernick and was out of work until Searcy was hurt. Kaepernick also has filed a grievance alleging he was not signed because of collusion by owners who wanted him out of the league because of his protests.“Eric Reid!!! Enough said!!!” Kaepernick tweeted in response to Reid’s comments, adding the hashtag #ImWithReid.Jenkins said he was glad Reid had returned to the league, and his play has proved it — Reid appeared to intercept Wentz’s overthrown pass to seal the win, but the play was overturned on a video review.“There’s no question about his talent and what he deserves,” Jenkins said. “I definitely think his stance was the reason he was on the street for as long as he was. I’ve maintained that the entire time he was out of the league and I still maintain that now.”
OWINGS MILLS White Mark Ingram Jersey , Md. (AP)s announced his retirement Monday following a successful NFL career that began with the New England Patriots. The 68-year-Pees told players of his decision on New Year’s Day, less than 24 hours after the Ravens were eliminated from playoff contention with a 31-27 loss to Cincinnati . Pees served as Baltimore’s defensive coordinator for six years, spending the 2010 and 2011 seasons as linebackers coach. ”A lot of guys are forced to retire because of their health reasons. My health couldn’t be better,” Pees said. ”I feel like most of the time in my 45-year career, football’s probably come first and everything else second. It’s time that changed.” Pees plans to spend time with his family. He began his coaching career in 1973 as a high school coach before becoming defensive coordinator at the University of Findlay in 1979. He served as an assistant at six other colleges before launching a six-year run as an assistant with New England. He is one of eight men in NFL history to serve as defensive coordinator in a Super Bowl with two different teams. Baltimore won the 2012 Super Bowl with Pees guiding the defense. ”The two things I’m probably most proud of is that I’ve never been fired – people still think I was fired from New England. I was not Mark Ingram Jersey 2019 ,” Pees said. ”And No. 2 is, that I have never in 45 years had a confrontation with a player.” The Ravens had 34 takeaways this season and ranked 12th in total defense. Baltimore linebacker C.J. Mosley said of Pees: ”I love him as a coach and as a man. The things that he did for this organization and the NFL, you’ve got to give credit to him and thank him.” Current Ravens linebackers coach Don Martindale is a possible candidate to replace Pees. Martindale has been with the Ravens since 2012. — Ravens outside linebacker and edge rusher Za’Darius Smith was awarded AFC defensive player of the week honors this afternoon. Against the Titans in Week 6, Smith recorded five total tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble. His third sack of the day was the Ravens eleventh on a Sunday Ben Powers Baltimore Ravens Jersey , which set the franchise-record for most sacks in a game. It was a dominant performance overall by the defense, but Smith was the most impressive individual player. Smith is a rising star this season and has been one of the Ravens most impressive defensive players. He currently ranks first on the team in sacks and is tied for fifth in total tackles. After recording three sacks last week, Smith’s total is now at 5.5 on the season. This matches his career-high, which he set during a strong rookie season in 2015. With 10 games remaining this season, Smith could very well double this number. Smith looked like a breakout candidate following his rookie season Ben Powers Baltimore Ravens Jersey , but struggled to be anything more than a rotational piece over the past two seasons. In his fourth season at age 26, however, Smith appears to be putting it all together. His 72.4 grade on Pro Football Focus is the highest among all Ravens linebackers and ranks sixth overall on defense behind Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Williams, Tony Jefferson Ben Powers Jersey , Brent Urban and Anthony Levine Sr. In a contract season, Smith may be playing his way out of the Ravens price range. For now, however, all Baltimore can do is reap the on-field benefits of Smith’s stellar play this season.

EDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Damontae Kazee, Russell Gage avoid broken bones in Jets preseason lossTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by David John Griffin/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesWhen Damontae Kazee exited tonight’s game, it looked like he’d suffered the kind of injury that might knock him out over the short-term. When Russell Gage went out, The Falcohlic staff was chattering that it might cost him a long time, possibly even the season youth Devonta Freeman Jersey , because apparently we like to invite bad tidings.Happily, Dan Quinn provided some form of good news late tonight.That news is especially significant for Damontae Kazee, who was declared questionable to return (and did not return) with a rib injury. That means no broken ribs, and hopefully a relatively short timeframe until he’s able to return. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Kazee’s day-to-day. He’s the team’s nickel cornerback and a critically important player, so having him ready to go for Week 1 would mean a great deal to a defense that would otherwise turn to a lesser option.The news is positive but less conclusively so for Gage, who suffered a hip injury. Without further clarification on his injury we can’t say exactly what’s ailing him. I’m not going to speculate, but am going to hope it’s the kind of injury that can be managed with rest and care and won’t cost him a significant chunk of time. Gage has been impressive throughout the summer and was pushing for a role as a receiver, and as one of the team’s gunners he was set to be a key player on special teams. Hopefully we’ll have an update over the weekend.There’s no such update for Kendall Sheffield Stitched Devonta Freeman Jersey , which I’m hoping isn’t ominous. He wasn’t going to have a ton of playing time out of the gate but is an intriguing cornerback that Dan Quinn seemed eager to find a role for. I wince every time I hear “hamstring” and a Falcons player in the same sentence, as we did with him. Again, we’re light on information at the moment, but I thought I’d pass along this small bit of good news. We’ll see what DQ and company can offer us in the coming days. The first wave of Falcons cuts are in."Some huge news landed yesterday, with the Falcons kicking off their first series of offseason cuts. We dive into that and more in today’s edition of Falcoholinks.Moving on from MoneyA stunner for sure, but Matt Bryant is out in Atlanta. After rebuffing any retirement rumors via his Twitter account, Bryant followed it up Wednesday morning with the announcement that he’d been cut. This one definitely hurts, as Matt Bryant’s leg has led the team to many a key victory. The franchise’s all-time leading scorer Black Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , Bryant’s legacy is embedded throughout the Atlanta Falcons’ DNA. He will be sorely, sorely missed. So now the team turns to Giorgio Tavecchio, Matt Bryant’s heir apparent. Tavecchio was brought on board when Matt Bryant was injured last year and made some spectacular, game-winning kicks, so Atlanta chose to keep him on the squad even as Bryant returned to full health. Unless something comes way out of left field, the job is his in 2019. Alford OutWe’ve identified Robert Alford as a primary cut candidate for quite some time, and on Tuesday evening that likely possibility became a reality. After six seasons donning the red and black, Alford became the first cap casualty of Atlanta’s offseason. Robert Alford lifted his level of play in the wake of Desmond Trufant’s injury in 2016 and followed it up with a terrific 2017 Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey 2019 , but this past year was hands down the worst of his career. His decline coupled with his price tag against dead cap losses made him a fairly obvious choice for release, and puts the team in line to save $7.9 million in the upcoming season. With the Falcons’ forthcoming cut of Robert Alford, it means that 2018 second-rounder Isaiah Oliver will be given the full opportunity to start on the outside. Alford gave us some truly memorable moments during his time in Atlanta, and we certainly wish him the best wherever he ends up next.Cutting The HairYep, another Wednesday cut. The Falcons will be down a number of spin moves and one glorious mane next season as they’ve elected to release veteran defensive end Brooks Reed. Reed joined Atlanta in 2015 as a free agent acquisition from Houston, signing a five-year, $22 million deal. With his release, the Falcons have now added to their available 2019 cap by saving $4.5 million.Best of luck Black Logan Paulsen Jersey , Brooks. Don’t Get Greedy I’ve already read enough mock drafts that at times I feel like my head is going to spin off, but a recent development has me particularly perturbed: the prospect of the Falcons drafting a cornerback with the 14th overall pick. This has been grinding the gears of The Falcoholic’s Kevin Knight, as well, and he’s out with a strong argument against Atlanta selecting LSU’s Greedy Williams. With the glaring needs on both lines and the second-round selection of Isaiah Oliver last season, it just doesn’t make much sense at all — even after Robert Alford’s release.
earance on the practice field Monday and it didn’t take long for him to introduce himself to rookie quarterback Kyler Murray.Peterson intercepted a Murray pass during the session and said later that it was “a welcome back gift” from the first overall pick of this year’s draft. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Peterson brought “good juice” to the team in his return and that he hopes the interception is “a sign of good things to come for him” in 2019 Black D.J. Humphries Jersey ,Thanks to some not-so-good jusice, it will be some time before those good things can happen in the regular season. Peterson triggered a six-game suspension for violating the performance-enhancing drug policy and said Monday that he’ll be ready to get “back in the fire” come October.“I am very deeply sad and sorry my name is associated with [a failed test] and that I’m letting my brothers down,” Peterson said, via the team’s website. “It’s behind us now. I’m looking forward to coming back against the Giants.”The Cardinals have three more OTAs this week and a three-day mandatory minicamp before taking a break until training camp. As far as mock drafts go, this is one to pay attention to.Every year Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay team up to do a dueling mock draft that will give fans a show of what they think will happen in..."As far as mock drafts go, this is one to pay attention to.Every year Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay team up to do a dueling mock draft that will give fans a show of what they think will happen in the upcoming draft.For the 2019 NFL Draft D.J. Humphries Jersey 2019 , the Arizona Cardinals are getting quite the haul, and it looks eerily similar to the 2018 NFL Draft results.I think that is a key verbiage that gets ignored by a lot of fans.The Cardinals prefer Murray.If that is true, that is a statement that tells the whole story that is quite often overlooked.The Cardinals and Kliff Kingsbury would like to draft Murray, but they are not so out on Josh Rosen that they are just going to move on without what they feel is fair compensation.Both Kiper and McShay have the Cardinals taking Murray at one, their picks at 33 are different, but are both realistic options.All things the same youth Chandler Jones Jersey , McShay has McCoy going at 22 to the Baltimore Ravens.McCoy is 100% the pick, in my opinion at 33 if he is on the board. He can start immediately at center and could be a top 10 player at his position in year one.He has experience in an offense similar to what Kingsbury will likely run, shotgun snapping is what he is good at, where Mason Cole struggles with that.Cole can compete at right guard, left guard or right tackle, McCoy anchors the middle of the offensive line.Brown is one of the other targets I would have at 33 if I am the Cardinals.He can play anywhere outside Stitched Chandler Jones Jersey , in the slot, and is an electric athlete with the ball in his hands.Either pick works, but give me McCoy if both are available.
iday.The Chiefs defensive lineman wants a new deal after a team-leading 15.5 sacks last season. He skipped the voluntary portion of the team’s offseason program as well as the mandatory minicamp in June.Jones is scheduled to make a salary of $1.19 million this season.Chiefs coach Andy Reid didn’t waste any time in addressing Tyreek Hill and Jones during his news conference Tuesday.“Chris Jones would be the other topic of interest Nick Allegretti Jersey nfl draft , I’m sure,” Reid said, via Brooke Pryor of the . “Chris, we’ll know more. Our people have talked with Chris’ people From China Nick Allegretti Jersey , and there’s been communication there. And so, we’ll just see whether he’s here or not here.

traded to the New England PatriotsDeath Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , taxes, and theNew England Patriots...It was a roller coaster weekend for Gordon. It was announced on Saturday that he would be inactive for the Brown’s week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints with no prior injury designation during the week. Then it was also announced that the Browns would be releasing Gordon by Monday. Due to Gordon’s past, fan speculation was that he had failed yet another drug test. It was later announced that Gordon suffered a hamstring injury during a photoshoot, which seems like an extremely Cleveland Browns thing. But from the moment the Browns let their intentions known, they had dance partners for a trade. The Browns also sent a 7th-round pick to the Patriots, who are handing back a 5th-round pick. And because time is flat circle, the Patriots fittingly released WR Corey Coleman to make room for Gordon. Coleman was traded from the Browns earlier in the preseason to make room for Gordon on the roster.QB Carson Wentz cleared to playThe news couldn’t have come at a better time for the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles.On the heels of a surprising loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles is ranked 23rd among quarterbacks with a 61.1 rating on Pro Football Focus. Wentz, who tore his ACL against the Los Angeles Rams in December, was a large part of the reason the Eagles went off to an 11-2 start before being forced to turn to Foles. With RB Jay Ajayi uncertain to play this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts, Wentz may need to once again be the focal point of the offense.Minnesota Vikingsmake kicker switch; waive K Daniel Carlson, sign Dan BaileyDaniel Carlson went 0-3 on field goals, including 0-2 in overtime (which in itself included a 35-yard winner) against the Green Bay Packers in what ultimately turned into a 29-29 tie. The Vikings overcame a 20-7 4th quarter deficit to force overtime which would seemingly add more to the disappointment.Have no fear. Vikings HC Mike Zimmer handled subsequent questions about Carlson’s release with his usual poise and decency:The Vikings get the 2nd-most accurate kicker in NFL history in Bailey. Since being released by the Dallas Cowboys, he had turned down prior offers for what he considered “the right fit.” Based on the signing, one can only assume “the right fit” is a team that plays in a dome with plans on a deep playoff run. But with Bailey’s resume, I suppose he can afford to be picky.Browns also flip kickers; waive K Zane Gonzalez, sign Greg JosephGonzalez, a seventh-round pick and human embodiment of Cleveland Browns football, was off to a rough 2018 campaign. He had a potential game-winning field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers get blocked ensuring a tie. His follow up performance against the Saints saw him leave eight points off the board with a 2-4 FG, 0-2 XP performance. One of the missed extra points came with 1:16 left in the game and would have given the Browns a 19-18 lead. Gonzalez then missed a 52-yard game-tying field goal with eight seconds left. His replacement, Joseph, was a rookie camp body for the Miami Dolphins and made all three of his attempts during the preseason.WR Antonio Brown uses his Twitter dot com accountAccording to his bio, this Ryan Scarpino guy did PR for the Steelers for the seven years leading up to this season. I don’t know if his position really let him be “tapped in” to the pulse of the team, but anyone with eyes can see that Brown is an all-world talent and not just a product of QB Ben Roethlisberger. On top of this tweet, Brown didn’t attend practice on Monday, an unexcused absence according to HC Mike Tomlin. It isn’t all doom-and-gloom in the Steel City just yet Greg Gaines Jersey nfl draft , as Brown may have just been letting off some steam for his audience of 1.25 million followers.Brown is reportedly frustrated with the Steelers’ slow start and claims he cleared his absence with the coaching staff before not showing up on Monday:Side note: with Le’Veon Bell holding out, Brown frustrated, and Ben being old, will the Killer B’s be replaced by the rhythm J’s (JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner, and Jesse James)? Sorry, that’s the best I can do.Los Angeles Chargers DL Corey Liuget sues former trainerLiuget is currently two games into his four-game suspension, the first in his seven years in the NFL. Liuget claims his failed drug test was a result of trainer Ian Danney misleading him with a substance he injected him with. Danney reportedly has ties to dozens of other NFL players.Buffalo Bills CB Vontae Davis retires at halftimeI want to include the link to Davis speaking on the subject because I believe it’s only fair:This is perhaps the most polarizing story this week.To many, Davis abandoned his team, let the fans down and did something that falls somewhere between insider trading and kneeling in the Hiller Scale of Unforgivability鈩? A lot of jokes were made (mainly at the expense of how bad the Bills really are). Admittedly, it isn’t a great look on Week 2, less than a month after the Bills made cut the roster down to 53, leaving people off that would have wanted to be there. But not everyone is wired the same way.Davis said it all came crashing during the opening defensive series. Who am I, or anyone not named Vontae Davis, to criticize how he feels? Coaches and players that buy into the system will talk out of both sides of their mouths; you need to be there for your brothers, but if you take plays off you’ll be replaced by someone that wants to be there. So if Davis was truly done and had no desire to continue, what good does it do anyone for him to be out there? I’ll hop off my soapbox, but I’m almost always going to sympathize with the player. These guys are humans, not merely a means to an end.I’m happy to hear that Davis is looking back with no regrets and feeling good. Are the 2018 NFC Champions posed for a repeat?"WhiteSections 2019 offseason2019 free agency2019 NFL DraftFull ArchiveLibrary 2019 NFL calendar2019 Rams regular season sched2019 Rams preseason schedMasthead Community Guidelines NFL Odds StubHub ✕2019 NFL DraftThe “If” Factor: The Professor’s pre-draft review of the 2019 Los Angeles Rams’ offseasonNew,17commentsAre the 2018 NFC Champions posed for a repeat?CDTShareTweetShareShareThe “If” Factor: The Professor’s pre-draft review of the 2019 Los Angeles Rams’ offseasonLos Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay celebrates after winning the NFC Championship over the New Orleans Saints, Jan. 20, 2019.Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY SportsIts been an interesting offseason for the 2018 NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams. On the defensive side of the ball the Rams have either said goodbye to DT Ndamukong Suh, ILB Mark Barron and FS Lamarcus Joyner. The Rams responded by signing sweetheart deals for LB Clay Matthews coming from the Green Bay Packers and FS Eric Weddle from the Baltimore Ravens proving there’s nothing like being a winner and living in sunny Los Angeles.Between LT Andrew Whitworth, Suh, Matthews and Weddle, the Rams have clearly become an attractive team for quality veteran free agents to play for.The Rams also re-signed edge rusher OLB Womens Greg Gaines Jersey , Dante Fowler, Jr., who they acquired midseason in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars inking him to a one-year, $13m deal. While some of my fellow Turf Show Times brothers were upset by this signing, I like it. First, its only a one-year deal. And if Fowler wants a long-term deal at that kind of money in the future, he’ll need to step up his game. Now, he controls his own destiny. The other reason I like the signing of Fowler is that the interception in overtime against the New Orleans Saints by SS John Johnson III was caused by Fowler forcing QB Drew Brees to throw a duck. The interception led to the 57-yard field goal for the win, and off to the Super Bowl the Rams went. To pay $13m for that one play was worth it!On offense, the Rams have moved on from C John Sullivan and LG Rodger Saffold III. The Rams didn’t go out to in free agency to find replacements; instead ;they’re either looking in house or possibly to the 2019 NFL Draft for replacements. I’m fine with this. OL Joseph Noteboom coming off the bench last year looked like he can do the job, and last year’s fourth-round pick C Brian Allen is slated to replace Sullivan. The Rams are therefore younger and faster on the offensive line which is a good thing. As much I would have liked to have re-signed Saffold, there was no way the team could afford to pay him given their needs and salary cap restrictions. I’m happy for Rodger who got a megadeal with tons of guaranteed money from the Tennessee Titans that was well deserved.Anyone who puts on the Rams uniform and plays as long as Rodger did for our team will always be one of us, no matter where he goes.Evaluating the Offseason MovesSince honesty is the best policy, here’s my take on the Rams’ moves up to the draft.Suh had an outstanding playoff run, but never lived up to hype when his acquisition was announced last year during the regular season. Letting him go in my opinion is no big deal. He can be replaced.Joyner had a great 2017 season so much so that it caused the Rams to tag him last year. Unfortunately, his play 2018 was no where near 2017, so I’m also fine with losing him to the Oakland Raiders.Barron never seemed to fit Rams Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense. He’s just too smallish for that position. He’s a tweener drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to play either safety or linebacker—but not linebacker full-time. He will be missed in pass coverage, but not as a run stopper. The only issue I have with letting him go is who will Rams replace him with.In order to fill the void at safety left by Joyner departing. the Rams signed Weddle. He’s not as fast as Joyner, but he’s an upgrade in the “knock his head off” category. He’s fearless against the run, and can whack guys off their feet against the pass which I love in safeties. The only issue is his age. Does he still have the speed to compete at the highest level demanded by the position? This is one of my biggest “if” factors.In order to fill the void left by Barron’s release, the Rams signed Matthews. A SoCal native, Matthews played his college ball for USC and was the best player on the Packers’ defense for years which isn’t saying much given how bad Green Bay’s defense has been the last four years. Still, he will definitely be an upgrade in the run game as opposed to Barron. He can also rush the quarterback either at the inside or moving him to the edge. As long as he avoids those iffy illegal roughness quarterback penalties, this signing looks good on paper. But he too has an age issue. Although he was on fire at the start of 2018 regular season, he wasn’t the same pass rusher at the end of it. I am still confident that the Rams have enough at the linebacker to cover the loss of Barron with ILB Micah Kiser and EDGE Samson Ebukam coming off the bench for a series or two so that Matthews can get a breather. I’m especially high on Ebukam, but have no clue what Kiser can do since he rarely if ever saw any action last year.Thus this is my second “if” factor—that all things being considered if things work out as planned with Matthews Authentic Greg Gaines Jersey , he could be a key factor to an improving Rams’ defense.On offense, the biggest question isn’t how the Rams will be able to replace the lost offensive linemen. It’s the status of RB Todd Gurley and the ongoing saga of his knee.There was clearly something wrong with him at the end of the year. Neither the Rams or Gurley have sincerely explained what it was. Instead, its been a lot of PR smoke and mirrors. What we do likely know is that Gurley will not be used as much as he was last year. So unless the Rams use their 31st pick in the first round to draft a running back, I‘m not going to worry that much. If the Rams do draft a running back that early, I’ll be in panic mode.Thus, “if” factor number three is Gurley’s health. If the Rams don’t draft a running back in the first round, I think it signals Todd is okay to go, and the Rams will remain a juggernaut on offense with him being a centerpiece of it.Hopefully my prayers will be answered tonight.The DraftOh boy just can’t wait for this one. Our Rams actually have a first-round pick!However, the draft show drives me nuts. First, I could care less what other teams do. I’m only interested in what the Rams do. Thus I am forced to sit, watch and listen for at least three hours of incessant gibberish from Mel Kiper tell me how good or bad a player is. Watching this, I feel the same way when someone tells me the numbers you should use to win the Mega Ball lottery.The NFL has created so much buzz about the draft, an entire cottage industry has developed. In my youth, the Los Angeles Times used to print a small, one-paragraph story on it in the back pages. Today by the time you sift through the experts, you’re up to Mock Draft 3,012. Enough already! Just tell me who the Rams drafted with their first pick so I can start asking God that he not turn into a bust. After that, it’s more about position than it is player.I still have my opinions about what I think the Rams should do in the draft given this is an opportunity to turn a team weakness into a strength. Most of the offseason moves or lack thereof weren’t made by NFC teams. The big name splash free agent signings and trades were made by AFC teams. As a result coming into 2019,I think our Rams have a better then 50/50 chance of repeating and this time winning the Super Bowl.So here’s my one and only single-pick mock draft, Professor-style.I would like to see the Rams use the their 31st pick on the best DT available. I believe in this because DT Michael Brockers can move to nose guard and DT Aaron Donald. always be the most dominant force at his position, is too often double- and triple-teamed. A young, fast defensive tackle who can step in right away will pair well with both Brockers and Donald freeing them up to wreak havoc on an opposing team’s quarterbacks and improve the Rams’ lackluster rush defense.Of course, I will probably be completely wrong.So as long as the Rams don’t draft a running back at 31, I can live with whatever the team does do including trading #31 for more picks.“If” they do draft a running back, all bets are off and I will be in total panic mode for 2019.Here we go...
