Sid Luckman Youth Danny Trevathan Jerseys , primarily since the team hasn’t had many great quarterbacks since Sid Luckman. On Sunday, Trubisky passed Luckman and two other former Bears quarterbacks in one very specific category.Via the NFL, Trubisky set Chicago’s single-season record for games with a passer rating of 120 or more, based on at least 15 passing attempts.In a division-clinching win over the Packers, Trubisky completed 20 of 28 passes (71.4 percent) for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, generating a 120.4 passer rating. He has now crossed the 120 threshold four times this year Womens David Montgomery Jersey , one more than Luckman in 1943, Rudy Bukich in 1965, and Erik Kramer in 1995.Many regard the jury as still being out on whether Trubisky will become a true franchise quarterback. However, he has shown plenty of flashes of the kind of potential that could indeed make him one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and in turn the best quarterback since Luckman. And maybe, based on what the team accomplishes during Trubisky’s career, eventually even better than Luckman. That was how you put an exclamation point on a season. The Chicago Bears had a chance to step on a division rivals throat and eliminate them from playoff contention and they did it. Even after having an opportunely to pull their starters with the Los Angeles Rams up big in their game, head coach Matt Nagy decided to keep his foot on the gas and end his inaugural season with twelve wins. After the Bears 24-10 victory David Montgomery Jersey Color Rush , Nagy told Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun Times, “I love winning. I think it’s fun to win. When you win, whoever it is -- who cares? -- let’s just play ball. That’s what we’re going to do.”Even with Nagy knowing his team was likely locked into the three seed, he kept most of his regulars in the game. His game plan wasn’t the same as he usually runs, but he adapted and his team pulled out a dominating win. Chicago outgained the Vikings 332 yards to 164, they had more first downs (17 to 12), and they had the time of possession edge too, 37:08 22:52. But it was on third downs and penalties where the biggest discrepancies were as the Bears converted 57% (8-14) to just 9% for Minnesota (1-11) Cheap David Montgomery Jersey , and the refs flagged the Bears 11 times for 102 yards to only 3 for 30 for the Vikings. Now let’s take a closer look at the playing time break downs for the Bears, and also a few of the individual stats.OFFENSEIt was another efficient game from Mitchell Trubiksy with just enough downfield shots to keep the defense honest. He ended the day 18 of 26 for 163 yards, for a 85.9 passer rating, and 16 yards rushing. He had no TDs or turnovers, but he did complete a pass to Nick Kwiatkoski for a two-point conversion. Speaking of that 2-point conversion, is any team having more fun than the Bears?Trubisky’s pass protection held up nicely and he wasn’t (officially) sacked, and he was only hit once. Jordan Howard was the game’s leading rusher with 109 yards on 21 carries. He scored twice and added a 5 yard reception. Tarik Cohen ran 5 times for 24 yards while scoring a TD, and he caught 2 balls for 8 yards David Montgomery Chicago Bears Jerseys , while taking 2 punts back for -2 yards. Minnesota’s defense only had one tackle for loss and Chicago’s run game racked up 169 yards (4.6 ypc).Taylor Gabriel had the Bears most receiving yards with 61 on 4 catches, and Trey Burton had the most receptions with 5 for 33 yards. Rookie Javon Wims caught all 4 passes thrown his was for 32 yards. Kevin White had a big 22 yard reception. DEFENSELeonard Floyd was the Bears leading tackler with 8 (1 TFL), while Roquan Smith ended up with 6, which means he fell 3 tackles shy of Brian Urlacher’s rookie record. Akiem Hicks had 1.5 sacks, 3 tackles, and a TFL. Eddie Goldman had a sack (3 tackles, 2 QBH), as did Bilal Nichols (2 tackles Chicago Bears Jerseys Stitched , 3 QBH), and Roy Robertson-Harris had half a sack (1 tackle, 2 QBH). SPECIAL TEAMSThe players listed above only appeared in the third phase.Cody Parkey made his only field goal try, but he was 1 for 2 on extra points. I’m all for finding a new kicker, but unfortunately Parkey might be the best one out there. Patrick O’Donnell punted 4 times for a 43.8 average while dropping 2 inside the 20 yard line. Any of these numbers stand out to you guys this week?To check out all the team and individual stats from the game, I find that ESPN has an easy to navigate site.

These four would be Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, Rashan Gary, and Jeffrey Simmons (yes Jerry Tillery Jersey Color Rush , I know he tore his ACL and has misconduct issues, but his talent puts him in the top three rated players in the draft by NFL.com).Former Chargers players who have yet to find a new team - Travis WakemanLet’s get into that discussion with a look at four former players still looking for work. In addition to the players on this list, punter Donnie Jones is out there as is legendary tight end Antonio Gates, who will almost certainly only be in a Chargers uniform if he ever steps on a football field again.Latest On Josh Rosen Market - Sam RobinsonThe Patriots were not high on Rosen last year, Breer notes, but that was partially because of what it would have cost them to move up in the first round to acquire him. After a rough year for Rosen Jerry Tillery Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , Patriots interest may still not be there, per King. Philip Rivers continues to indicate he has no near-future retirement plans, and the Bolts gave Tyrod Taylor $6MM on a two-year deal.

As noted in my piece on next year’s free agency, Ekeler has a career 3.1 yards per carry in games he’s played 35-plus offensive snaps Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Stitched , 6.1 in games he’s played fewer.

The rookie hit 5-of-6 field goal attempts to continue the strong run that began when he replaced Caleb Sturgis during the regular season and running back Melvin Gordon said he’s “happy that we have somebody here that we can count on.”“It’s the playoffs,” Badgley said, via ESPN.com. “During the regular season, every point matters. But in the playoffs they matter even more.

Wednesday in advance of their Week 10 game against the Dallas Cowboys.Three players did not practice: starting center Jason Kelce Sidney Jones Jerseys 2019 , starting cornerback Jalen Mills, nickel cornerback Sidney Jones. Kelce’s absence was not injury related, although it seems like he’s been playing through pain this year despite not being listed on the injury report. Stefen Wisniewski took first team reps at center.Mills suffered a foot injury during the Eagles-Jaguars game in London. Reports indicate Mills could miss multiple weeks and Doug Pederson did not sound overly optimstic about his chances of suiting up against Dallas. If Mills is out, it’ll likely be Rasul Douglas who starts in his place. It seems like Jones will be out this week but there might be some optimism with his situation. Pederson referred to him as “day-to-day” now instead of “week-to-week.” Jones was also seen doing some rehab work on a side field early in practice. After practice, Jones told Les Bowen that he could return next week against the Saints “if all goes well.”Darren Sproles and Lane Johnson were the most notable players to RETURN to practice. They were both limited. Sproles hasn’t played since Week 1 due to a lingering hamstring issue. Johnson, meanwhile, had to leave the Eagles’ Week 8 game early due to an MCL sprain. Pederson said he expects both Sproles and Johnson to play on Sunday evening.Elsewhere, veteran safety Corey Graham and linebacker Nathan Gerry also returned to the field as limited participants. Graham has been out since getting hurt in Week 5. Gerry Avonte Maddox Jerseys 2019 , meanwhile, has missed Philadelphia’s last three games. It’ll be interesting to see how the Eagles use Graham upon his return. The team seems to like the progress Avonte Maddox has made at safety but with Jones likely out the Eagles could opt to play him at nickel corner. Graham could then play at safety. The more likely option, however, might be newly acquired Cre’Von LeBlanc playing in the slot with Maddox staying at safety. Graham would then resume his pre-Rodney McLeod injury role as a sub-package player. Tim Jernigan participated in practice to some extent but he’s not listed on the injury report because he’s still on the reserve/non-football injury list. Pederson said the Eagles are going to “bring him [along] slowly day-by-day.” It doesn’t seem like he’s going to play this week. Mack Hollins and Richard Rodgers, who are still both on the injured reserve list, were seen doing some rehab work on a side field. Both players are eligible to return to the active roster. Keep in mind NFL teams can only activate two players from IR per season. If Hollins and Rodgers are designated as returnees, that means Mike Wallace won’t be able to return this season. Don’t count out Wallace just yet, though.PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)DID NOT PARTICIPATECB Sidney Jones (hamstring)C Jason Kelce (not injury related)CB Jalen Mills (foot)LIMITED PARTICIPATIONLB Nathan Gerry (ankle Black Dallas Goedert Jerseys , knee)S Corey Graham (hamstring)OT Lane Johnson (knee)RB Darren Sproles (hamstring)FULL PARTICIPATIONLB Kamu Grugier-Hill (thumb)OT Jason Peters (biceps)DALLAS COWBOYS INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)The Cowboys are dealing with a number of significant injuries heading into Sunday’s game.The big news is that made-of-glass linebacker Sean Lee is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after tweaking his hamstring on Monday night. Shocker. The Cowboys are more well-equipped to handle Lee’s absence now than ever with Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch on the roster. Still, Lee is a really good player when healthy and it’s not like missing him is a positive for Dallas.Starting left guard Connor Williams is expected to be out this week. That means it’ll likely be Xavier Su’a-Filo or “Adam Redmond” starting in his place. The rookie Williams has really struggled this season and it’s hard to imagine his backups are much better.Wide receiver Tavon Austin and backup linebacker Joe Thomas are also expected to miss Sunday’s game. The Cowboys have some issues on the defensive line with both David Irving and Taco Charlton missing practice. Randy Gregory was also limited.Starting tight end Geoff Swaim did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

At first blush, it might seem like trading for a player in the final year of his contract is unwise, as he could just leave in free agency next year. But if he does, that would help the Eagles acquire compensatory picks.The NFL’s compensatory pick formula gives teams additional draft picks when they lose more free agents than they acquire. That has been a key part of the Eagles’ strategy, and in 2020 they’re poised to lead the way in compensatory picks, as they should get a third-round compensatory pick for losing Nick Foles, and two fourth-rounders for losing Golden Tate and Jordan Hicks.The Eagles traded a third-round pick for Tate last year even though he was in the final season of his contract and has now left in free agency. Some questioned the wisdom of that Dallas Goedert Jerseys 2019 , but Tate was a valuable player for the Eagles last season — he scored the winning touchdown in their playoff victory over the Bears — and he’ll produce a fourth-round pick for them next year.Howard may end up doing the same: He could play a valuable role on the Eagles in 2019, and if that convinces some other team to out-bid the Eagles for him in free agency next year, the Eagles would get a compensatory pick for his departure. The Eagles aren’t just planning for what Howard can bring to the team this season, they’re planning for several seasons down the road. That’s what smart teams do.

Well, there is that one purposefully out of left field pick made that won’t happen, but by and large everyone has the Jaguars picking a right tackle. The closer we get to the draft however, and the more the consensus is a right tackle the less I think that’s what the Jaguars will do with their pick.I mentioned it before to not sleep on a defensive lineman for the Jaguars in the No. 7 spot and as we get closer the more I think that’s absolutely what the pick is going to be. The team has brought in a lot of pass rushers for pre-draft visits and interestingly did absolutely nothing in free agency on the defensive line. Compare that to say tight end where a few players were signed or right tackle where they signed two guys to compete, they did absolutely nothing on the defensive line.While I think everyone agrees that the Jaguars defensive line is good and talented Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys Stitched , I do think people are sleeping on it’s need for fresh depth/guys who will play snaps. The team moved Dante Fowler Jr. midseason and they released Malik Jackson after the season in an expected cap cutting move. While Fowler was a disappointing first round pick, he was still a contributor to the pass rush and his contribution does need to be replaced and addressed. As for as Jackson, the Jaguars did draft Taven Bryan in 2018, but his rookie season was a whole lot of nothing.People constantly point to the 2017 season as proof of what the Jaguars defense can carry them to with even just bang average quarterback play and a solid run game. What is not being translated with that in 2019 however is that Folwer and Jackson combined for 16 sacks that season. Where is that coming from now? Are you getting that from Dawuane Smoot and Taven Bryan? I don’t think so.You also have to approach the point that Yannick Ngakoue is going into the final year of his rookie season and Calais Campbell is going to be one year older. I don’t think we will see a big drop of from Campbell yet and I do think the team re-signs Ngakoue prior to the start of the 2019 season, but these are still things you have to have in your mind.This is a draft that is top heavy on the defensive line with what a lot of people consider elite talent, so if you’re right there and one falls in your lap Josh Allen Jersey 2019 , it’s the perfect blend of value and need. While I think someone like T.J. Hockenson would be a fine pick at No. 7, I don’t think the gap in talent between he and whatever tight ends will be there in rounds two and three are so significant of a drop off that you have to take Hockenson in the Top 10. I feel the exact same way for Jonah Williams and Jawaan Taylor. Not to mention if it wasn’t for the Jaguars picking Taylor because they need a right tackle, I struggle to see him getting drafted in the Top 15. Is he really that good at right tackle to be a Top 10 pick?On the flip side the drop off from the defensive line from pick seven to pick 38 has a huge drop off. If you want one of the elite ones, you have to pick them early. Yes, I know that Ngakoue was a third round pick, but mid-round great pass rushers are few and far between. Those guys Mens Josh Allen Jersey , much like quarterbacks, get snapped up quickly because they’re so important. Also, and this will probably stir up a lot of debate, but I just don’t think right tackle or tight end matter all that much. If you have a good enough right tackle and a good enough tight end, you never think about them. You do not need elite players at those positions to have success. Like, can you name the best right tackle in the NFL off the top of your head? Can you name the fourth best tight end off the top of your head? It’s great to have players like Travis Kelce or Rob Gronkowski Black Josh Allen Jersey , but there’s a big pile of guys who are just fine after them and truth be told that’s all you need. In a way, they’re kind of like running back. You can find running backs. You can find right tackles and tight ends littered throughout the draft.At pass rusher, you need elite players to have success. Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin said last week that all of the team’s players should be at voluntary workouts this offseason.That comment drew a response from the NFLPA stressing the voluntary part of the workouts and a response from Ramsey saying that he’ll be ready for the season. Those responses led to a question for Coughlin about last week’s back and forth at Monday’s press conference in Jacksonville.“There’s no need for me to speak further on that,” Coughlin said, via Daniel Popper of TheAthletic.com.Coughlin said that he is not worried about his comments creating any strain in his relationship with Ramsey, whose decision to work out on his own in the past did not appear to be an issue for the team. Linebacker Telvin Smith has also been away from the team during the voluntary work that started last Monday.

At this rate Womens Josh Jackson Jersey , the Green Bay Packers will have some trouble suiting up enough players to make it to a full 46-man roster on Sunday as they close out the season against the Detroit Lions. Wednesday’s practice saw a full eight players sit out, all of whom have been key starters for the team at various points this season.Three of these non-participants on Wednesday were wide receivers, with WR1 Davante Adams the top name among the group. He took a day off to nurse a knee injury, which he suffered in Sunday’s win over the New York Jets. However, following the injury, he was able to return and catch several passes, including the game-winner. With the team single-season record for receptions just two catches away, expect Adams to suit up against the Lions this weekend.Joining him on the non-participation list were fellow receivers Randall Cobb and Equanimeous St. Brown, who both are in the concussion protocol. St. Brown landed there after a particularly tough hit to the head along the sideline on Sunday, after which he did not return. Cobb continued to sit out after suffering his concussion against the Bears two weeks ago.Cornerback Jaire Alexander missed Wednesday too, sitting with a groin injury that caused him to leave Sunday’s game in the first half. Alexander had been playing with Tony Brown and Bashaud Breeland early on, and Josh Jackson replaced him in the lineup. It seems entirely likely that he will sit on Sunday, giving more reps to those players and perhaps newcomer Natrell Jamerson.The team also sat four more veterans — left tackle David Bakhtiari, backup tackle Jason Spriggs, tight end Jimmy Graham, and edge rusher Clay Matthews. Stay tuned later this week to see if those players end up likely to play. Spriggs is probably the least likely to suit up, as he is still in the concussion protocol.Meanwhile, Detroit had several players out as well on Wednesday, with several starters among their group. Two defensive tackles sat along with their top receiver and a pair of key cornerbacks.Stay tuned Thursday to see if any of these key players return to practice.Packers Wednesday Practice ReportDid Not ParticipateWR Davante Adams (knee)CB Jaire Alexander (groin)OT David Bakhtiari (hip)WR Randall Cobb (concussion)TE Jimmy Graham (knee/thumb)OLB Clay Matthews (back)OT Jason Spriggs (concussion)WR Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion)Limited ParticipationS Kentrell Brice (ankle)OT Bryan Bulaga (knee)G Lucas Patrick (abdomen)G Lane Taylor (knee)Full ParticipationWR Jake Kumerow (hand)QB Aaron Rodgers (knee/groin)Lions Wednesday Practice ReportDid Not ParticipateDB Quandre DIggs (back)WR Kenny Golladay (chest)DT Damon Harrison (ankle)DT A’Shawn Robinson (knee)CB DeShawn Shead (knee)TE Luke Willson (concussion)Limited ParticipationCB Jamal Agnew (knee)RB LeGarrette Blount (knee)Full ParticipationQB Matthew Stafford (back) “If he’s the best player, you take him.” It’s the common refrain surrounding the potential selection of Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson with the 12th pick by the Packers. The fit is logical: Green Bay needs a blocker next to Jimmy Graham, particularly in this offense Womens Clay Matthews Jersey , and Hock possesses more than enough pass-catching ability to be the future TE1 for this team as Jimmy Graham makes his inevitable (and relatively imminent) exit. A 21-year-old Mackey Award winner who could be a Pro Bowl tight end sounds like a no-brainer for the Packers, right? Wrong. Let’s set aside for the moment the question of his quality as a prospect. Smart people disagree on these things as they almost always do, outside of a few top players. First, interrogate the base premise here: the Packers should take the best player. It has become common for media people to suggest this and even Ted Thompson defenders will point to Aaron Rodgers and insist the Packers do this. But they don’t because they shouldn’t. Taking the highest graded player doesn’t make for the smartest pick. It may make for the safest pick, but not the most impactful. Best player available, such as that concept actually has merit in the NFL Draft, isn’t “take the player with the highest grade,” because it would be ridiculous for the Packers to take Dwayne Haskins at 12 if he were available. The “best” player available to a team in a given moment is the player who will maximize impact on the team relative to other players available. This takes into account grade, positional value, team makeup, contract situations, and myriad other variables. If we’re setting aside grade for now, what’s the tight end’s true positional value in the NFL? Having one makes the offense better, but the Rams are tight end by committee. So are the Saints. The Patriots rely on Rob Gronkowski mostly as a blocker at this point in his career. And nearly all of the best players at the position weren’t high picks.Marcedes Lewis signed in Green Bay for a song. It wasn’t his fault Mike McCarthy refused to use him. Big Bob Tonyan, the tight end Packers fans are so excited to see, came to the league as a former receiver with talent, but he went undrafted. Look at the All-Pros at the position this season: Travis Kelce was a third-round pick and George Kittle was a fifth-round pick.In other words, you can find a quality tight end in Round 2-7 or even as an undrafted free agent. We are past the point of teams simply looking at college basketball players for options, but only just barely. That opportunity cost matters. If the Packers are taking a tight end at 12, who are they not taking? A blue-chip edge rusher or a starting offensive lineman. There could be an impact overhang defender or a big-play receiver. What is the value of upgrading a position where the team can find a suitable substitute which either much less draft capital or in free agency? In making these calculations, the Packers must also decide what a player like Hockenson would give to the team relative to another player at a more premium position. The league has long prized OT Marcedes Lewis Jersey White , EDGE, CB, and WR above TE. Although the position has changed considerably over the years, the impact of pass rushers, cover guys, and protectors in particular remain as great as ever. Considering Green Bay’s roster, would a tight end — a player likely to take time to develop and only play 30% of snaps in Year 1 — truly be a more impactful player than someone like Jachai Polite or Montez Sweat who could come in and provide an immediate boost to a flailing outsider linebacker group? Year 1 shouldn’t be the only viewpoint, but the short view is really all the team can have at any given time. The team can change so drastically over a few seasons, and any given player is only so likely to have a long career, that short-term impact calculation stands as the most salient piece of the puzzle. If Alabama offensive lineman Jonah Williams falls to 12, how can the Packers pass on a Day 1 starter at right guard or a future long-term starter at right tackle to add a luxury position piece where someone 85% as good can likely be had at the 30th pick? This part of the opportunity cost equation matters more in 2019 than most years. Green Bay has a luxury pick: it’s at #30. If Hockenson truly is that good and that valuable, package picks 30 and 44 or 30 and 75 to move up to get him in the 20s. Passing on a potential blue chip premium position player of comparable talent to take a tight end just doesn’t make sense for the Packers or any team. Look how often Hock’s teammate winds up in mock drafts at 30: Noah Fant is an outstanding prospect in his own right, as are Alabama’s Irv Smith Jr. and Stanford’s Kaden Smith (no relation). Green Bay can get a quality tight end in the draft without using such a premier draft pick. This discussion can’t be fully had without some discussion of Hockenson’s quality as a prospect. To be fully transparent, I think he’s more of an early 20’s type player. He’s very good, but not a transcendent prospect by any means. He’s an anomaly as someone who can catch and block, but that novelty isn’t indicative of quality. But even if one believes he’s a very good prospect, recent draft history suggests the league doesn’t view tight ends as priority players. In 2018, Mike Gesicki tested as the most athletic tight end in combine history after a productive career at Penn State. He went with the 42nd pick, while Hayden Hurst was the highest tight end selected at 25. The year before, O.J. Howard drew consideration as a generational tight end prospect while Evan Engram crushed the combine after putting him huge numbers at Ole Miss. Howard ended up going 19th and Engram at 23. Every draft brings different situations, but it’s hard to make the case Hockenson deserves to go before someone like Howard Mike Daniels Jersey , an athletic receiver who also demonstrated alacrity with blocking. In fact, the only tight end to go in the top-15 over the last 10 seasons is Eric Ebron in 2014, picked when the Lions could have drafted Taylor Lewan, Odell Beckham Jr, Aaron Donald, Kyle Fuller, Ryan Shazier, Zack Martin or C.J. Mosley. That’s not cherry-picking, that’s the literal draft order after Ebron’s selection. Before that, a tight end hadn’t gone in the top-15 since Vernon Davis in 2006, when Matt LaFleur was a 26-year-old quarterbacks coach at Northern Michigan. The NFL transformed considerably in the interim, but the value of the tight end, and the ease with which teams can find them, hasn’t. This should be taken as nothing against Hockenson, who is a tremendous player with the talent to make the Packers better. If he somehow fell to 30, it would likely be a no-brainer for Brian Gutekunst and company. Combine everything from talent to opportunity cost, team makeup, and more; taking a tight end at 12, almost any tight end, doesn’t make sense.
