Discuss the game, how putrid these two offenses are, what their defenses can manage that our can’t, the state of the NFL, etc., in the Comments below.

practice squad immediately becomes an unrestricted free agent. Playoff teams keep their practice squads until they are eliminated White Marcus Maye Jerseys , but teams that do not make the playoffs lose all their practice squad players to free agency as soon as the last game of the regular season is over.In order to protect these players from being poached by other teams, they are signed to what are called futures contracts, which simply retain the team’s rights to the players until the next league year begins in mid March, when they can be signed to the expanded 90 man roster.The New York Jets have signed 6’ 5”, 307 pound center Jon Toth, 6’ 1”, 220 pound wide receiver DeAngelo Yancey and 6’ 6” Marcus Maye Jerseys 2019 , 300 pound offensive tackle Dieugot Joseph to futures contracts. All three are 24 years old and were eligible for the 2017 NFL draft. Yancey was a fifth round pick of the Green Bay Packers in that draft, while Toth and Joseph went undrafted. All three players ended the 2018 season on the Jets practice squad.Kevin Pierre-Louis suspended one game Field Yates reports Jets linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis has been suspended for the first game of the 2018 NFL season.The suspension stems from a January arrest on charges including possession of marijuana. This occurred before Pierre-Louis signed with the Jets.Pierre-Louis’ role on the Jets is unclear. In Todd Bowles’ time with the Jets he has tended to treat his starting linebackers as full-time players, rarely taking them off the field. There has been some speculation this might change in 2018 with the signing of Avery Williamson. Williamson frequently left the field for the Titans on passing downs. One school of thought has been that the Jets will replace him with Pierre-Louis in passing situations. But with the money Williamson is making it also could be that he will take on a full-time role with the Jets, relegating Pierre-Louis to play only when there is an injury.Either way, he will not be with the team Week 1.

that winning a record sixth Super Bowl title won’t change his mind about playing at least another year.As long as No. 12 is still going White Isaiah Wynn Jerseys , New England’s dynasty won’t crumble.“Doesn’t change anything,” Brady said moments after the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 on Sunday . “I can’t wait to spend some time with my family, my kids and my wife. Couldn’t do it without their support. It’s been a great year.”The Patriots have long defied odds and continue rewriting history by sustaining their success for two decades. Brady and coach Bill Belichick are 6-3 in Super Bowls since 2001. They have won 10 straight AFC East titles and reached eight conference titles games in a row. They’ve posted a winning record in 18 consecutive seasons, reaching the playoffs 16 times, winning 16 division titles and nine AFC championships.It’s an unprecedented run, and they’re not done yet.The Patriots were counted out in 2014 after a 41-14 loss to Kansas City on Monday Night Football dropped their record to 2-2. All they’ve done since is win three of the last five Super Bowls. Each time it appears they may be slipping, the Patriots come back strong and find a way to overcome any turmoil.Belichick and Brady were supposedly at odds last year and their relationship was reportedly nearing a breaking point.One of the first people to embrace Brady after the game was Belichick, wrapping his arms around his quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman amid a sea of confetti and a swarm of cameras.“Coach makes it a challenging football environment, the pressure is always on, and for moments like this, you have to rise to the occasion,” Brady said.Brady hasn’t wavered from his stated desire to play until he’s 45. He was ordinary much of the game against the Rams but delivered in the clutch in the fourth quarter . Overall, he had an excellent season at age 41 and was spectacular in the conference title win at Kansas City.Brady shows little sign of slowing down thanks to his rigorous training schedule and nutrition program. And thanks to a great team Belichick re-assembles around him each season, Brady doesn’t have to win every game with his arm.The Patriots reinvented themselves this season, adding a downhill running game that gave the offense more balance. Rookie Sony Michel ran for 931 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season, and 336 yards and six more TDs in the playoffs. He can be even better next season.“I’m so proud of him,” Patriots center David Andrews said of his fellow Georgia Bulldog Michel. “He faced a lot of adversity at the beginning with an injury, and he battled through people calling him a bust. And I knew when he got a shot, he’d cut it loose. We started finding our identity throughout the year.”Then the defense dominated in the biggest game, holding the league’s second-highest scoring offense to only a field goal.“I don’t think we care about what people had to say,” cornerback Jason McCourty said. “We just knew what we were capable of, and we still had a chance to win the Super Bowl. It doesn’t matter how many people doubted us.”It’s possible the Patriots may lose one of their key players if four-time All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski decides to retire. Gronkowski, who had a 29-yard catch to set up Michel’s TD run, isn’t certain of his future.“I haven’t thought about that,” he said. “That’ll be decided in a few weeks or so.”The Patriots can stock up on talent in the upcoming draft. They have 12 picks, including six in the first three rounds. And they have a history of making key free agent signings and trading for veterans who play key roles.“We have a lot of great people in the organization Isaiah Wynn Jerseys 2019 ,” Belichick said. “It starts at the top with (owner) Robert (Kraft) and his family. He’s given us great support in all the things we need to do to be competitive.”Only two Patriots make ESPN’s list of the best 100 players in the NFL The New England Patriots, winners of two of the last four Super Bowls, enter the 2018 season as one of the favorites to again capture the Vince Lombardi Trophy: the team has a deep team across most of the board (looking at you, wide receiver position), and has some of the NFL’s best players on offense, defense and special teams under contract. Despite some questions still, the 2018 Patriots are projected to be a good football team.You would not think that, however, when judging it solely by ESPN’s list of the best 100 players in the NFL right now. Only two members of the reigning AFC champions have made the cut – the usual suspects:#2: QB Tom BradyThe most successful quarterback in NFL history is ranked at number two behind only the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers – arguably one of the greatest talents to ever play the position – is coming off a season derailed by a broken collarbone, Brady just won his third league MVP award and played another record-breaking Super Bowl. It would not be a surprise if the 41-year old again turned out to be the NFL’s best player this year.#12: TE Rob GronkowskiComing off another highly successful year – he led all tight ends in receiving yards (1,084) and finished second in touchdowns (8) and fifth in receptions (69) –, Gronkowski is ESPN’s highest ranked player at the tight end position. For good reason: there are few weapons in the NFL as dominant and difficult to defend as Gronkowski. Clearly the best and most complete tight end in all of football, the 29-year old is terrific as a receiver and a blocker.While the two future Hall of Famers are ranked inside the top-12, no other members of the Patriots’ current roster have made the cut even though the team has some serious talent at other positions as well. The most five realistic candidates are as follows:OC David Andrews: A reliable and steady presence in front of Tom Brady, Andrews improved even further in 2017 – his first year as a team captain – and is now one of the best centers in football.OG Shaq Mason: You don’t earn five-year, $50 million contracts for no reason. Mason is a top-10 guard in the NFL, that excels as a run blocker and continues to improve as a pass protector.LB Dont’a Hightower: One of New England’s team captains, Hightower ended 2017 on injured reserve. When healthy, though, he is the heart of the Patriots’ defense and a dangerous player no matter where he lines up.CB Stephon Gilmore: After a rocky start into his Patriots tenure last year, Gilmore bounced back big time: by the time the playoffs rolled around he was a true number one cornerback and one of the NFL’s best players at the position.FS Devin McCourty: The veteran is still one of the NFL’s best free safeties and the leader of New England’s secondary. A versatile player, McCourty excels due to his rare combination of atheleticism, vision, and play diagnosis.What do you think, who is the Patriots’ biggest snub to miss the list?

With offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett on board Oren Burks Jersey , Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur turned much of his attention this week to the filling of the team’s vacant offensive line coach position. James Campen’s departure for Cleveland — followed on Friday afternoon by assistant OL coach Jeff Blasko joining his old boss with the Browns — left the Packers looking outside the organization for his replacement.Apparently the team has settled on one of the early leaders. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports, the Packers are hiring Adam Stenavich as their next offensive line coach. Stenavich was one of two individuals confirmed to have been interviewed, with former Bengals OL coach Frank Pollack being the other.This is an interesting choice for the Packers, considering that several highly-respected veteran line coaches became available this season. Stenavich has only served as an assistant offensive line coach in the NFL to this point in his career, compared to other individuals (including Pollack) who have five years of experience or more in the more senior position coaching job.The Kyle Shanahan connection between Stenavich and LaFleur surely played a part in his hiring. Stenavich had been the 49ers’ assistant OL coach J’Mon Moore Jersey , and LaFleur needed Shanahan’s permission to interview him for this job. Although Shanahan declined to allow a pair of other offensive assistants to interview for the Packers’ offensive coordinator position — Mike McDaniel and Mike LaFleur, Matt’s brother — the fact that this is an upward move for Stenavich surely is the reason Shanahan permitted him to pursue the position.Stenavich is a native of Marshfield, Wisconsin, and spent some time on the Packers’ practice squad as a player in 2006.As mentioned above, former Packers assistant OL coach Jeff Blasko is moving to Cleveland to take the same position with the Browns. The Packers also saw another offensive assistant get a new job on Friday Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , as pass game coordinator Jim Hostler agreed to become the Carolina Panthers’ wide receivers coach. The Vikings will play the Packers on Sunday night and they hope the result is the end to a losing streak.Minnesota has played three games in prime time this season and they’ve lost all three of them, including last Sunday’s 25-20 loss to the Bears. The Vikings also lost to the Rams and Saints in prime time games and quarterback Kirk Cousins pointed to the quality of competition as the reason for the losses rather than anything the Vikings are doing differently.“We got flexed to that prime-time [game] last week because we were playing a really good football team,”聽Cousins聽said, via the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “If either of us weren鈥檛 good, I don鈥檛 think we would have been flexed. If there鈥檚 a difference with prime time JK Scott Jersey , that would be it. I certainly don鈥檛 treat them any differently.”Washington was 4-9 in prime time games started by Cousins, but he notes that tying records to individual players “gets a little bit convoluted” by pointing out that he didn’t play all that well in a win last Thanksgiving. Whatever changes need to be made, this weekend would be a good time for Cousins and the rest of the Vikings to solve their issues winning at night.

The Packers run too often on 2nd- or 3rd-and-long The Green Bay Packers beat the Buffalo Bills badly on Sunday JK Scott Jersey , but no one was happy with the offense and with good reason. Six of those 22 points came on long field goals, and McCarthy seemed to settle for another long field goal attempt on the first drive, though Jamaal Williams was unable to gain sufficient yardage on a third-down play to try it.McCarthy settles a lot, and that’s becoming big problem because it costs the team possessions. There are two major philosophies about picking up first downs. The first, older philosophy captures the NFL standard for most of the 1980s and 90s, which holds that first and second downs are to be used to make 3rd down easier.A few four-yards runs on the early downs will give the team flexibility to either run or pass on 3rd and short, making for an easy conversion. The new philosophy holds that offenses are now so good (and defenses so restrained) that it’s more efficient to give yourself as many opportunities as possible to gain ten yards on an individual passing play, and that the vast majority of the time, any quarterback will complete a 10-yard pass before they are forced to punt.While you do need to run sometimes, just to prove that you might, the latter philosophy is far closer to optimal. We know that, on first down, a successful play must pick up at least 4 yards, and in reality that number is probably closer to 5. Your subsequent 2nd and 3rd down plays are really only successful if they pick up the first down, which means that if your first down play fails and leaves you with six yards to go or more, running is almost always a bad idea because runs don’t generally pick up big yardage. Smart teams know this.For instance, let’s look at the Rams, who are currently the cream of the crop in terms of football smarts. On 2nd or 3rd down, with 6 yards or more to go, and when the game is within one score, the Rams have passed 87% of the time. They have only run in this situation four times all season. It’s just not something they do. In the aggregate, their plays have been successful 52% of the time, while their passing plays have been successful 60% of the time. The Packers, on the other hand, still strive for balance in these scenarios. They have passed only 68% of the time and run 32% of the time. Those runs have only succeeded 1/3 of the time, and overall in these situations, the Packers only succeed 38% of the time. We tend to focus on 3rd down efficiency, but the Packers are basically pissing away plays and drives every time they do this. Despite the fact that the Packers have an all-time great quarterback, only seven teams pass less than the Packers in this situation, which is insane. On their first drive against the Bills, the Packers faced 2nd and 10 from the Buffalo 40-yard line. Either McCarthy or Rodgers called a run to Jamaal Williams, the worst Packer runner, that lost a yard. Incredibly, on 3rd and 11, they went back to the same well, and Williams was stoned for no gain. Even if Williams hadn’t been completely stuffed, the best case scenario for those play calls was a slightly shorter but still long field goal attempt Kevin King Jersey , which is hardly an ideal outcome. It is these pointless plays and drives that seems designed specifically to not score, which cause the offense such problems. The Packers then did this again in the 3rd quarter when up 19-0. The team faced 3rd and 10 and called a run to Ty Montgomery, which was stuffed for a loss of one. The Packers were forced to punt from their own 18, and the defense was fortunate to preserve the shutout.The fact of the matter is that smart teams don’t operate this way. They pass more frequently and with more success when a first down is still in doubt. The actual plays that were called against the Bills were not half bad, and the second drive of the game — which resulted in a touchdown — was a thing of beauty. But the problems with the offense are deeper than individual play design. They show a fundamental lack of football understanding. McCarthy’s focus on execution has always been about the trees, but much of the rest of the NFL now runs a hyper-efficient forest, and Mike just doesn’t see it. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers are turning to fast-rising offensive whiz Matt LaFleur to aid Aaron Rodgers and end a two-year absence from the postseason.LaFleur accepted an offer Monday to become the next head coach of the Packers, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the Packers nor the Titans had announced the decision.The 39-year-old LaFleur spent this season as offensive coordinator for the Titans, his first calling plays in the NFL. He takes over for Mike McCarthy, who was fired during the season following a stunning home loss to Arizona on Dec. 2. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin went 2-2 to close out the season as the Packers failed to reach the playoffs for the second straight year with a 6-9-1 record that was the second straight under .500 for the storied franchise.He was offensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, leading a group that paced the NFL in scoring and was 10th in total offense under coach Sean McVay, who called the plays on offense. LaFleur was the quarterbacks coach in Atlanta for two seasons, including when Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was the NFL MVP in 2016. LaFleur also has coached with Washington and Houston, and was the quarterbacks coach for Notre Dame in 2014.He will be charged with returning the Packers to the playoffs on a regular basis. McCarthy’s tenure of 12-plus seasons was by and large successful, highlighted by the 2010 Super Bowl season and nine playoff appearances.Still, the once potent offense that could make up for other deficiencies slowed in 2018, a tumultuous year that began with Rodgers leading a stirring comeback victory in the opener over the Bears.The two-time NFL MVP returned after halftime from a left knee injury that nagged him the rest of the season.Rodgers’ 62.3 percent completion rate was his lowest since 2015 (60.7) and his 25 touchdown passes were a low for a season in which he played at least 15 games, though so were his two interceptions.Injuries to Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison forced the Packers to turn to rookies perhaps earlier than expected, though Davante Adams emerged as an elite receiver.The relationship between LaFleur and Rodgers will be closely watched after the sometimes tenuous moments between the star QB and McCarthy. They characterized their relationship as close, but with ups and downs that come with two headstrong competitors who had worked together for more than a dozen years.The Packers reportedly interviewed several candidates with head-coaching experience, including Philbin, Chuck Pagano, Adam Gase and Jim Caldwell. The instead opted for LaFleur, who had never called plays before this season and until now has never been in charge of an entire roster.It is just one element of an offseason of change ahead in Green Bay.Clay Matthews, one of the last remaining links to Green Bay’s Super Bowl-winning season, is a free agent after finishing with a career-low 3½ sacks in his 10th season with the Packers but the first under the tweaked 3-4 scheme installed by first-year coordinator Mike Pettine.Cobb is also a prominent free agent for Green Bay, and a steady, experienced target for Rodgers — if he returns.The running game could be a strength next season behind Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones, who led the NFL in yards per carry before suffering a knee injury in mid-December. The coordinator’s job could be in flux, too. Philbin is well-liked by Rodgers and the 16-year NFL coaching veteran and he won respect from players for his even-keeled and straightforward demeanor in the transition following McCarthy’s firing.Pettine’s defense showed flashes in his first year on the job. First-round draft pick Jaire Alexander displayed the potential of playing like the top cornerback the Packers desperately need. Injuries struck the defensive line, which was one of the team’s strengths coming into the season, and the Packers lacked a consistent rush at outside linebacker outside of surprise sacks leader Kyler Fackrell (10½).Tennessee has changes coming, too. The Titans went 9-7 and missed the playoffs, ending the season ranked 27th in scoring and 25th in total offense while injuries took a toll. Quarterback Marcus Mariota will soon be working with his fourth offensive coordinator in five seasons.

Good morning Doug Kotar Jerseys Stitched , New York Giants fans!In case you missed it, Wednesday’s ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast featured special guest David Morris of QB Country. Who is Morris and and why should that interest you? Morris was a college teammate of Eli Manning’s at Ole Miss and has been training Daniel Jones of Duke since Jones was in high school. So, Morris has a unique perspective on the current Giants quarterback and one of the candidates to be his heir apparent.I neglected to mention it on Wednesday, but the Giants were one of six teams that put in waiver claims on linebacker Tannert Vallejo when he was let go by the Cleveland Browns. Vallejo was awarded to the Arizona Cardinals, who had the highest waiver priority.Dane Brugler’s Mock Draft 3.0: A trade up for Dwayne Haskins in this two-round scenario – The AthleticIn this scenario, the Giants get jumped for Dwayne Haskins by the Denver Broncos. They opt for offensive line help by taking right tackle Cody Ford of Oklahoma.AAF will use a real-time replay official – ProFootballTalkThis is an interesting concept. Let’s see how well it works.NFL source will be surprised if Giants don't take quarterback early in Draft | SNYOf course. After last week's last-second loss against Carolina, Giants coach Pat Shurmur said he was "done" talking about Odell Beckham Jr. and his critical comments about the team.Six games into his first season Youth Harry Carson Jerseys , Shurmur still can't shake the OBJ questions. It's talk of a postseason push that's gone silent.The Giants are 1-5 and in last place in the NFC East after a 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night that featured Beckham marching to the locker room before the end of the first half and slamming his head into a giant cooling fan during a second-half fit.Shurmur said Beckham went to the locker room early because of cramps. Beckham said his headbutt was a bit of self-motivation."I was just trying to get myself going," he said. "I felt like some of those plays where I was getting myself going was some of my best stuff. So I was just trying to get myself fired up. I did that and it helped me."Beckham bemoaned the lack of downfield passes from quarterback Eli Manning and the team's subpar energy following a 33-31 loss to Carolina.The Giants were counting on a prime-time visit from the Super Bowl champs to get their season turned around.Instead, poor pass protection, inconsistent offense and costly penalties have left the Giants reeling.The Eagles' game plan on Thursday was to contain Beckham. He had six catches for 44 yards and his longest reception was 12 yards.The Giants' mistakes started early against the Eagles. Manning was intercepted on the opening drive of the game, and they took advantage for a touchdown.Later in the quarter, Manning was sacked at his 1 and the Giants were forced to punt. The Eagles took advantage of the favorable field position and drove for another touchdown and a 14-3.When the Giants added a field goal to get within 14-6, the defense allowed a touchdown on the next Eagles possession.The Eagles Harry Carson Jerseys Stitched , who entered the game at 2-3, had not scored more than 23 points in a game this season entering Thursday.But they managed 24 in the opening half.The Giants' offense continued its struggles on third downs. They didn't convert a third down until their opening drive of the second half. It was the first time in 16 tries they converted on third down going back to Week 4. The finished 4 of 14. The Eagles were 9 of 16 on third downs."They converted on third downs," Shurmur said. "When you're that good on third downs and you can stay on the field, you can give yourself a chance."The biggest bright spot for the Giants was rookie running back Saquon Barkley. He had 13 carries for 130 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown. And he added nine receptions for 99 yards, including a spectacular 55-yarder where he eluded several would-be tacklers. He's the second player in NFL history to gain at least 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his first six career games.However, the rest of the Giants' offense struggled as they couldn't consistently sustain long drives."We beat ourselves. Every time I looked up I felt like there was a yellow flag somewhere. We can't have that Youth Lawrence Taylor Jerseys ," Beckham said. "There's no way we're going to beat good teams with doing that."Manning was 24 for 43 for 281 yards and was sacked four times.And the Giants have the same record as they did last year when they finished 3-13. And they have to wait to make up any ground since they don't play again until facing the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, Oct. 22."1-5 is not where we want to be. I'm not happy about it, and I'm frustrated like everybody," Manning said. "All we can do is worry about the next game."

as Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers grab all the attention when their teams do well.But a team’s success or failure can often be determined by which players make the biggest jump from year to year.Key players such as Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Pittsburgh’s James Conner have played major roles in their respective teams being in first place through Week 9.And it isn’t always offensive players. Of the 32 teams LeSean McCoy Jerseys Stitched , nearly half (15) have featured a defensive player and one had a kicker among the most improved.At the halfway point of this NFL season, here’s a look at the most improved players for each team:AFC EASTNew England: Linebacker Kyle Van Noy. The Patriots traded for Van Noy out of necessity two years ago. He’s grown into one of the most versatile players on New England’s defense. Used almost exclusively at outside linebacker last season, he’s now asked to play on the line at times, is an option in multiple blitz packages as well as in zone and man coverages.Miami: Offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. Tunsil is becoming a top-shelf left tackle in his third season. He was plagued by penalties and other lapses, but has benefited from the mentoring of left guard Josh Sitton, who signed with the Dolphins this year.Buffalo: Linebacker Matt Milano. Milano is starting alongside first-round pick Tremaine Edmunds in essentially a two-linebacker defensive formation. A fifth-round pick in 2017, Milano was eased into the starting lineup and finished with five starts. This year, he’s has started all nine games, credited with 55 tackles.N.Y. Jets: Linebacker Darron Lee. Lee was their first-round pick out of Ohio State in 2016 and has been slow to live up to his lofty draft status. He finished second on the team in tackles each of his first two seasons, but big-time impact plays were missing for a middle linebacker. He’s off to the best start of his career as a more consistent playmaker.AFC SOUTHHouston: Defensive back Kareem Jackson. Jackson had a bad 2017 at cornerback, but has played both cornerback and safety this season and has been strong in a secondary that has dealt with numerous injuries.Tennessee: Linebacker Jayon Brown. A fifth-round pick out of UCLA in 2017, the second-year linebacker is leading the Titans both in total tackles and with four sacks. The speedy Brown has started three of eight games this season and has been a key piece of a defense currently allowing the fewest points in the NFL.Jacksonville: Kicker Josh Lambo. Lambo has made a team-record 23 consecutive field goals in the regular season, including a career-best 57-yarder in London. He had made 27 in a row, including the playoffs, and all 12 of his extra points in 2018.Indianapolis: Quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck didn’t just miss all 16 games last season but 26 of 45 overall because of various injuries (shoulder, lacerated kidney, concussion and then shoulder again). Luck has completed 65.8 percent of his passes, is second in TD passes (23) and is on pace to top 4,000 yards again.AFC NORTHPittsburgh: Running back James Conner. Conner has seamlessly replaced Le’Veon Bell with four games with at least 100 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards and at least one touchdown, the most such games by a player in a single season in NFL history. Conner has 1,085 scrimmage yards (706 rushing, 379 receiving) and 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving).Cincinnati: Wide receiver Tyler Boyd. Boyd has been a solid complement to star A.J. Green. He has 49 catches for 620 yards and five TDs and will be counted on in the second half with Green dealing with a toe injury.Baltimore: Quarterback Joe Flacco. Despite his team’s recent slump, Flacco has done well for the Ravens. He’s got 12 TDs, six interceptions, 2,465 yards passing and an 84.15 QB rating. Last year Youth Kyle Williams Jerseys , Flacco finished at 18 TDs, 13 INTs and 80.4. He had 3,141 yards.Cleveland: Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi. Ogunjobi, a third-round pick in 2017, made one start as a rookie. The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder has developed into a stout run stopper. He also has quickness to get to the quarterback. His presence inside has forced teams to adjust their blocking schemes and given Myles Garrett some favorable one-on-one matchups.AFC WESTKansas City: Quarterback Pat Mahomes. Mahomes started Week 17 last year, but in his first full season as No. 1 QB he’s breaking records all over the place. Mahomes, who appeared in his 10th career game last Sunday against Cleveland, has 29 touchdown passes and 3,185 passing yards, both the most by a player in his first 10 games.L.A. Chargers: Running back Austin Ekeler. The second-year player, an undrafted free agent, is averaging 5.8 yards per carry and 12 yards a reception. Ekeler has teamed with Melvin Gordon to form one of the league’s top running back duos.Denver: Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. He was hurt most of 2017 and caught two TD passes, both in Week 2 vs Cowboys. Last year, he had 47 catches for 555 yards in 12 games. This year, he has 56 catches for 707 yards and three TDs and even threw for a TD, hitting fellow SMU alum Courtland Sutton vs. Arizona.Oakland: Running back Jalen Richard. Richard showed flashes his first two seasons as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi, but has emerged as a key part of coach Jon Gruden’s offense.NFC EASTWashington: Safety D.J. Swearinger. Swearinger is tied for the NFL lead with four interceptions as a key part of a secondary that has Washington in first place.Philadelphia: Running back Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood has a career-best 400 scrimmage yards (257 rushing, 143 receiving) along with one rushing TD and two receiving TDs after only playing eight games last year when he was inactive often.Dallas: Linebacker Jaylon Smith. The former Notre Dame standout is finally showing his college form almost three years removed from a devastating left knee injury in his final game for the Irish.N.Y. Giants: Wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Shepard has 40 catches for 542 yards and two touchdowns. Despite a porous offensive line, he is on pace for career highs.NFC SOUTHNew Orleans: Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. Rankins was a 2016 first-rounder who missed the first half of his rookie season with a leg injury. Last season, he was solid, but highlights were few. Through the first eight games, Rankins has four sacks and 21 total tackles, on pace for considerable increases in those categories.Carolina: Defensive tackle Kyle Love. Love is a backup, but is making some outstanding plays in the middle of the line, including a forced fumble in Week 8 against Ravens RB Alex Collins that led to a TD and helped turn the game.Atlanta: Free safety Damontae Kazee. Kazee is tied for the NFL lead with four interceptions. He was forced into a starting role after Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen were placed on IR.Tampa Bay: Tight end O.J. Howard. The Bucs attribute Howard’s growth to being in his second year, being more comfortable with the playbook and the offense in general. He has caught three touchdown passes in the past two games.NFC NORTHChicago: Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky has a 96.1 passer rating, 64.6 percent completion rate Kyle Williams Jerseys Stitched , 16 touchdown passes, seven interceptions and a 5-3 record. Last year, he had a 77.5 rating, 59.4 percent completion rate, seven TD passes, seven interceptions and a 4-8 record.Minnesota: Defensive end Stephen Weatherly. Weatherly was a seventh-round draft pick in 2016 who spent most of the season on the practice squad and mostly was on special teams in 2017. But when Everson Griffen was sidelined, Weatherly moved into the starting lineup and had seven tackles, two quarterback hits and one sack in his first career start against the Bills.Green Bay: Defensive lineman Kenny Clark. Clark, playing in his first-year of coordinator Mike Pettine’s system, already has four sacks in seven games, nearly equaling his output (4½) last year.Detroit: Wide receiver Kenny Golladay. Golladay has surpassed his rookie season production and that allowed the Lions to trade Golden Tate to the Eagles at the deadline. He has 33 receptions for 523 yards and three touchdowns.NFC WESTL.A. Rams: Linebacker Cory Littleton. After two years as a backup linebacker and special teams guy, Littleton, an undrafted free agent, earned the starting job when Alec Ogletree was traded in the offseason.Seattle: Running back Chris Carson. Carson showed flashes last year before getting hurt, but the combo of a better offensive line and a new running scheme has fully displayed his skills.Arizona: Safety Budda Baker. Baker has made a big impact after having his role greatly expanded after being a first-team All-Pro on special teams as a rookie. Now he’s a significant part of the regular defense, not just a special teams ace.San Francisco: Tight end George Kittle. Kittle was a pleasant surprise as a fifth-round pick last year with 43 catches for 515 yards after being mostly used as a blocker at Iowa. He now is one of the game’s most well-rounded tight ends. He ranks third at the position with 41 catches and second with 692 yards and is a powerful blocker in the run game. Friends, teammates and other NFL players have encounters on social media on a daily basis. On Monday, a few Buffalo Bills had some words for each other on Twitter and Instagram that had quite a few people scratching their heads while trying to decode what the significance was of it all. The first was early in the evening with LeSean McCoy commenting on Tre’Davious White’s recent post on Instagram where he was hanging out with friends from his hometown.As noted above, Tre White has removed all of his pictures affiliated with the Bills on his Instagram except for the one he posted after he was selected by the Bills in the 2017 NFL Draft. According to some eagle-eyed social media followers, White did the same thing last off-season to show himself he has to prove it every year.During the college football National Championship game, McCoy tweeted that he wanted to get Alabama offensive linemen blocking for him. He quickly deleted the tweet but you know we were going to grab the screenshot. It was also noticed that McCoy had commented on an NFL video on Instagram of Indianapolis Colts star guard, Quenton Nelson, where McCoy pleaded to have a lineman like him. Both of those encounters are below. We also saw a cryptic tweet from Bills’ left tackle Dion Dawkins about being comfortable. Maybe after a shaky second season he's worried about losing the job as the left tackle to someone else? Who knows. But McCoy also had some words for Dawkins that didn't even seem to correlate with what Dawkins had said. All in all, it was a weird series of events for these three players and their fans watching it all unfold, whatever that was. It’s certainly strange for the captain of a team to publicly say the guys around him aren’t good enough. Just because we all probably agree, doesn’t make the decision to take it to Twitter any better.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate was driving to work Tuesday when he was behind a two-car accident on a freeway. He ended up spending about 45 minutes to help a woman and her young daughter.“No one was stopping or getting out to see what was going on Sylvester Williams Jersey ,” Tate recalled. “I just put it in park, put my flashers on and made sure everything was OK. I made sure the car was off because it was smoking. I made sure the driver was OK, which she was. Then, I went straight to the little girl.”Tate said a 3-year-old girl appeared to be safe, but shaken, sitting in the back seat of the car while her mother was making phone calls to get help. Tate and his wife, Elise, had their first child, a girl named Londyn, earlier this year, and his paternal instincts kicked in at the scene of the accident.“I didn’t even ask. I just picked her up,” Tate recalled. “I probably should’ve asked, but I did what I would’ve done if Londyn was in that situation.”Tate said he didn’t exchange information with the woman in the accident and no one recognized him other than a police officer Eli Harold Jersey , who pounded fists with him before he resumed his commute to the team’s training facility.“Hey, good game last week. I didn’t want to say anything in front of them,” Tate recalled the police officer saying.Lions notes: Detroit’s WRs rank 7th in the NFL per PFF You’ve probably seen it by now, but the Detroit Lions’ trio of receivers have done something this year that no other team can claim: Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr. and Golden Tate have all surpassed 50 yards in all four games this season.But do the Lions have the best receivers in the league? According to Pro Football Focus, they aren’t even in the top five through the first quarter of the season. PFF ranked all 32 teams by wide receiver group, and the Lions came in at seventh overall, behind the Vikings, Rams and among others. PFF had some eye-opening stats about Golladay’s season thus far. “Second-year wideout Kenny Golladay has had an excellent start to the season, ranking among the league’s top-10 in both explosive plays (11) and contested catches (five),” according to the advanced stats site. During the Lions’ bye week, Marvin Jones Jr. is going to have a segment on CW’s All American talking about his path to the NFL and his life outside of football. Here’s a preview: Good catch from Lions Wire: Kerryon Johnson leads all NFL running backs in DVOA through four weeks.Da’Shawn Hand is continuing his dominance as the best rookie interior defensive lineman: Watch Matt Patricia break down Packers film with Lions radio play-by-play man Dan Miller in preparation for Detroit’s Week 5 matchup. Darius Slay: Still good: The Detroit Lions are selling standing-room only tickets for Lions-Packers for... yikes... $89 a piece.

Rs gold from PC game to cellular program has had the necessary bumps John told us. As an example, one had to take care of different technical difficulties. "We were dealing with a 2005 engine that we wanted to translate into a real experience". "We needed to take into account the ecosystem of iOS and Android, weekly updates that are published and running the program economically". "A very clear case in point is that we don't want the player to log in each time around the PC. When beginning RuneScape", says Colgrave. Behind a running MMO is a lot of technology, especially because a continuous connection is needed. "If you consider that a mobile network constantly reconnects with various masts, this is certainly a challenge to keep this relationship working stably."

Zac Taylor may still be with the Rams Ryan Glasgow Jersey , but he’s already got a good chunk of his Bengals coaching staff set up.Raiders quarters coach Brian Callahan is set to be the team’s next offensive coordinator. He has a pretty extensive history, which also includes plenty of experience with Jack Del Rio, who is expected to be Cincinnati’s defensive coordinator.From 2010-15 he spent time on the Denver Broncos staff as an assistant coach. He became the assistant quarterbacks coach when the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, which means he also spent plenty of time learning from Peyton Manning.More recently, Callahan was the Lions quarterbacks coach during the 2016 and 2017 seasons when Matthew Stafford saw career lows in interceptions. He didn’t post any career-high numbers during that span, but he was far more consistent than his years without Callahan. Each year, Matthew Stafford completed over 65 percent of his throws, which is something he only accomplished the year before Callahan arrived.Last year, Callahan moved on to work under Jon Gruden in Oakland. He wasn’t able to help return Derek Carr to his 2016 form, but he did improve in completion percentage, passing yards, touchdowns and interceptions from 2017 to 2018. Of course, Callahan’s father is Bill Callahan, who has head coaching experience with the Raiders and Nebraska. It has even been rumored that the Bengals would like to add Bill Callahan to their staff for their vacant coaching job for the offensive line, but Washington can block that move since he is under contract for the same position.It isn’t clear (and likely won’t be until Taylor is officially announced as the head coach) whether Taylor or Brian Callahan will handle the play calling duties, as neither has experience calling plays at the professional level. That seems to be one of the only downsides to this move, but then again, we just endured Bill Lazor’s play-calling for essentially two seasons. This could be the breath of fresh air the Bengals have been looking for. CINCINNATI (AP) — Head coach Marvin Lewis fired the defensive coordinator and installed himself in a dual role. Bengals players talked about their trip to Baltimore as a pivotal moment in the season, almost a last-stand opportunity. They wound up getting run over.Now what?A 24-21 loss in Baltimore on Sunday dropped the Bengals (5-5) three games behind Pittsburgh in the loss column for the AFC North lead with only six weeks left in the season. Their fourth loss in five games put them in danger of missing out on the playoffs for the third straight season. A shakeup of the coaching staff didn't make enough of a difference. Cincinnati is relegated to hoping that some of its injured players return and salvage a season that's gone from promising to unsettling."Everyone is frustrated," offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said Monday. "Everyone's nerves are a little frayed right now. Everyone is searching."Lewis decided to fire defensive coordinator Teryl Austin after the Bengals gave up 500 yards for the third straight game Jordan Evans Jersey , a first in the Super Bowl era. He took over the coordinator's duties and hired fired Browns head coach Hue Jackson to help on the sidelines during games.It didn't go well in Baltimore.The Bengals ended that streak of 500-yard games, holding the Ravens to 403, but they were on the wrong end of more defensive history.Cincinnati allowed 265 yards rushing, the most during Lewis' 16 seasons as head coach. They've given up more than 200 yards rushing in back-to-back games — the Saints ran for 244 — and three times overall this season, also the most under Lewis.Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson ran for 117 yards in his first start, and rookie Gus Edwards ran for 115 and a touchdown. They're the first set of rookie quarterback and running back teammates to run for at least 100 yards in the same game in NFL history."You give up 200 yards rushing, I'm not going to be happy with that," Lewis said.Lewis was satisfied with how his first game on the sideline unfolded, although he felt "somewhat a little handicapped" by having so many responsibilities."Hopefully it will become more and more comfortable," Lewis said.Part of the reason for Austin's firing was the confusion on defense, which repeatedly had coverage breakdowns. The Bengals had a different type of challenge on Sunday with a rookie quarterback who ran a lot.Lewis simplified the game plan, but the defense still struggled against the run."He made us play fast," cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. "He put us in situations where we didn't have to do a whole lot of thinking."The Bengals were in control of the division after a 4-1 start. Now they're trying to make up a lot of ground on the Steelers, who won at Paul Brown Stadium to start Cincinnati's free fall.They're one of five teams at 5-5 in contention for the second wild card spot. The Chargers have the edge for the first wild card at 7-3. The Bengals host the Browns (3-6-1) on Sunday."It's a race now, and that's what we're here for," Lewis said after the game. "That's the thing: Now it's a race to the finish."A race they once led, but that's now getting away from them.BURFICT BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHTLinebacker Vontaze Burfict played with a sore hip that sidelined him the previous week. He was on the field for 36 of 79 plays, showing the effects of the injury — he had only four tackles. He also was involved in an altercation with guard Marshal Yanda after a play, part of a scrum on the ground involving several players. The officials didn't penalize anyone. Lewis said on Monday that the coaches' film doesn't show what happened in the altercation.

Lawrence Schick has appreciated Maple story M Mesos his tenure as Loremaster for The Elder Scrolls: Online. It's certain that both ZeniMax Online Studios and the community of the game will miss him at large.Even though 2019 is shaping up to be a significant year for The Elder Scrolls: Online because of the initiation of the year-long Season of the Dragon and upcoming Elsweyr DLC, the sport certainly performed well in 2018 too.

The reason for the petition launched two weeks ago is simple, fans say: Star Wars is more popular than it has been in a long time and now is the best time to tell stories from the history of the universe. That the creators of SWTOR Credits Disney know the Old Republic, they have already shown in the final of the second season of Rebels. The planet Malachor and the age-old battle heroes met in it contain enough references to Knights of the Old Republic and SWTOR to make the mouth water of fans.
