ive Coordinator George Edwards Big And Tall Cameron Smith Jersey , 14 August On Tuesday afternoon at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, Minnesota Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards got an opportunity to address the media. Quite a few subjects were talked about, including the progress of Mike Hughes, the upcoming joint practices with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and some reasoning for why Marcus Sherels will probably be on this roster for a long time to come.Below is the full transcript of Edwards’ remarks on Tuesday, courtesy of the Minnesota Vikings PR Department.Coming back from our first preseason game, getting back to work yesterday and today. Then we’ve got Jacksonville in here to practice against the next two days. Guys are coming back in after the game, we got the stuff corrected. We’re looking forward to try to get better over the next couple days.Q: What are your thoughts on Mike Hughes performance?A: Mike did a lot of good things. The attention to detail that he displayed schematically with what we’re asking him to do, for a rookie, was impressive for the first outing. We just look for him to keep continuing to compete every day and keep working on the fundamentals and techniques that we’re asking him to do. Just look for him to be consistent as we keep working down the road.Q: Is there anybody that you like to compare Hughes to?A: Well, I’m not really in the comparison business but I’ll say this, for everything that we’re asking him to do, to play inside and outside, he’s been as good as any that we’ve had in here with the attention to detail with what we’re asking out of him as far as an inside nickel and outside corner. He really has excelled. You could see it carry over from practice right to the game, it wasn’t big for him at all.Q: Do you like the joint practices and if so, why?A: I think it’ll be good work against a good football team that had a lot of success last year. For our guys to come out here and we’ve been working against our offense since we started, I think it’ll be a good change of pace. Definitely going to be good work against their personnel and schematics of what they try to do. We’re excited about it. For us, it’s still an evaluation to get out here and work the techniques and the fundamentals between each group. Just tie it all together that way. Rather than going against our offense, which we’ve kind of been going against all offseason and here at training camp, it’s kind of a break from that and working on something new schematically.Q: How do you limit the tension and altercations that have occurred in other joint practices around the league?A: I think coaches explain to our guys what the purpose of this is and we can’t let emotions be the driving thing as far as our reactions and our decisions. It’s going to be competitive but you also have to control your emotions. During the course of the game Cameron Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , we don’t want penalties. So, we try to simulate all those things out here at practice and try to get them to understand how important it is and that it’s imperative that we don’t have penalties that hurt ourselves.Q: What did you make of the new rules in the first preseason game?A: I think our guys, going in we have emphasized it, we’ve always kind of emphasized looking at your target and keeping your head up. So, we didn’t really have a lot of problems with it. I know the other team had two penalties called, one of them was that. We just keep emphasizing the fundamentals. The point of emphasis is that for the preseason and going into the season and rightly so. So, we’re just going to keep preaching it, we’re going to keep working on it, keep coaching it. Hopefully we don’t have any problems with guys ducking their heads.Q: Do you think it will have an impact on the game?A: I think it will but I think it’s a necessary means, it’ll clean up some of the guys that do lower their helmets. But, at the end of the day, I think everybody is teaching to keep your head up. We just have to keep emphasizing it. They know that it’s going to be called so hopefully we can take out helmet hits to the head, we can take that out of it. Q: What kind of transition do you think it will take for guys across the league?A: All I can do is talk about what we do. What other guys, how they’re coaching it or how they’re emphasizing it. There are some really tough calls when you look at it. I think a part of that is because it is such a big emphasis. But, at the end of the day, for player safety, I think it’s a tool that we need to make sure we are on top of as far as our coaching and our teaching.Q: What’s the biggest challenge for Jalyn Holmes?A: I think Jalyn, right now, is just adjusting to a new technique, new fundamentals as we’re playing him inside. Just being more consistent Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , I think, is the biggest thing with him right now in the run game and the pass game. He really flashed some good pass rush for us in this past game. He’s a lot better against the run in this ball game. The consistent factor, looking for it out here in practice. I don’t think the game was too big for him. He kind of parlayed what we’ve been teaching him to the game and really did some nice things for us this past week.Q: How come Anthony Barr didn’t play in Denver?A: Those questions coach is going to have to answer for you. I refer all those to him when it comes to the injuries or who is up or who is down. Q: How has he looked so far in camp?A: He’s had a good camp. He’s done a good camp. We’ve asked him to do some things pass rush wise and he’s really taken it and really excelled at it as we’ve been working through the process this offseason and through training camp.Q: What has it been like as a defensive coach as every year these point of emphasis seem to regard defenses changing the way they play the game?A: Well, they’re doing a lot of things for player safety, which is great. Then just the different things that we’ve had to adjust to. I mean, let’s face it, this is an offensive driven league when it comes to that. I’ve been doing it for 21 years, over those 21 years there’s been those points of emphasis every year. Whether it’s been contact down the field, whether it’s the helmets now. Whatever it is, we’ve had to adjust to it, you have to adapt your coaching to it. Because it is a point of emphasis and we don’t want penalties to set us back and stop drives and do all those things as we progress during the course of the season. I think it’s all been good for the game and we’ve just got to keep working to clean things up and make it the best so they can compete at the highest level that they can.Q: Where do you think Marcus Sherels is at as a cornerback at this point of his career?A: Marcus has done a tremendous job for us. He’s worn a lot of hats for us defensively since we’ve been here. You talk about his punt return ability but he plays the nickel for us, we have no problem sticking him in there to play nickel, and he plays outside. So, Marcus is an asset to us defensively. Also, as far as going into the game, having him on the roster, the capabilities if something happens or package-wise if we want to use his skill set, we know that he’s right there. It’s been a blessing to have him. Josh Allen's two-week trip through the NFC North ended with a resounding dud of a game.No highlight-reel hurdles over linebackers for the rookie quarterback. No touchdown runs. Heck, the Buffalo Bills could barely move the ball Sunday.A week after helping the Bills post a surprising road win over the Minnesota Vikings, Allen looked every bit like a first-year player making his third career start in a 22-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers.Allen accounted for three turnovers Cameron Smith Jersey nfl draft , including two interceptions and a fumble late in the fourth quarter that stood on review. He was 16 of 33 for 151 yards.The Bills had a much tougher time on the road in the NFC North, a week after a stunning win at heavily favored Minnesota."I take this one on my shoulders," Allen said. "We can only go as far as the quarterback goes."And that wasn't very far at Lambeau Field.Green Bay had decisive edges in total offense (423-145) and first downs (22-11). They sacked Allen seven times, with first-year coordinator Mike Pettine able to produce more pressure playing with 16-point lead at the half.Even the return of running back LeSean McCoy, who missed a game because of a rib injury, didn't help the Bills (1-3)."We were out of rhythm on offense. We needed to find some consistency," coach Sean McDermott said.Allen looked out of sorts for much of the afternoon. Under pressure out of the pocket late in the second quarter, Allen heaved a high pass into the middle of the end zone that was picked off easily by Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander.Green Bay could sense that they were getting to the rookie signal caller."We knew we had to start fast and get him second-guessing himself," Packers outside linebacker Nick Perry said. "Once that became evident, we continued to keep our foot on the gas and keep rolling."McDermott had some soothing words for Allen after the end-zone pick."It was just real subtle. He understands that I'm a rookie and I have growing pains," Allen said.He was coming off the high of the big win last week in Minnesota against what was considered one of the top defenses in the league. Allen was 15 of 22 for 196 and a touchdown pass against the Vikings, while running 10 times for 39 yards and two scores.He learned a hard lesson on Sunday against the Packers."But at the same time, I hold myself to higher standards, so I don't care if I'm a rookie or been in the league for 10 years, it's something I can't do," Allen added. "It's something I'm going to learn from and I'm not going to do it again."

A look at the Jadeveon Clowney contract situation and what a world without him in Houston may look like."There has been ample discussion during the past season Joel Heath Jersey , and even before the season began, regarding Jadeveon Clowney’s future in Houston. Here are the common issues that have been raised: Clowney is going to get paid more money than he’s actually worth.Clowney has a history of injuries that could effect his play later in his career.Those are the two overarching narratives that have been disseminated in a variety of ways.They focus on comparing Clowney to other top NFL defensive linemen and the contracts they (Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack, etc.) received. This often leads to a discussion about Clowney’s shortcomings, often citing factors like statistical output, which lead to clich茅 responses such as:wHeN I tHiNk aBoUt pAyInG cLoWnEe, I aSk mYsElF hOw cAn I pAy sOmEoNe aLl tHaT mOnEy iF tHeY’vE nEvEr hAd a tEn sAcKs iN a sEaSoN?Anyone who has read anything that’s been written on this website, or any other website about Jadeveon Clowney, should know by now that his value to the team is done a disservice by statistical analysis alone.That being said, he’s ranked in the top 10 of tackles for loss over the past three seasons. I’m aware Clowney’s value can often times be difficult to accurately asses when viewed alongside the number of penalties he has committed. Those foibles do not outweigh his contribution to the Texans or his impact on the opponent on a snap-to-snap basis.What the Texans are doing with the rest of their roster and their ability to contend for a championship now is the crux of the issue. The 2018 season and the next few seasons with Deshaun Watson playing on a rookie contract comprise the Texans’ championship window. The conditions to get the most out of that window are:Having a talented young quarterback on a rookie deal, which means the Texans have the most important and expensive position in football on a cheap contract for the next few seasons. This financial flexibility afforded by Watson’s contractual situation allows them to address other areas of the team through free agency or taking on veterans with expensive contracts through trades. Having high-end talent at a variety of positions, such as wide receiver and defensive end, hitting the primes of their career.The unique context of this situation has a trickle down effect upon decisions such as what the Texans are facing with Clowney. To that end, let’s examine the potential pros and cons of different resolutions to the Clowney contract situation and how they would impact a Texans organization that is very much looking to win now.First and foremost, the Texans aren’t going to trade Jadeveon Clowney. The Texans have already stated that they want to work on re-signing him before the franchise tag deadline. There’s a statement of intent from the Texans that they want to bring Clowney back. Trading him now would mean that something really messy happened in negotiations for Houston to suddenly shift course.The Texans also aren’t going to let him walk in free agency. If you’re unconvinced by this declaration, allow me to try and convince you otherwise. The Texans have a very, very good facet of their team in their defensive line; it ranked first in adjusted line yardage and 13th in adjusted sack rate according to Football Outsiders. This means Houston’s defensive line is the best unit in the league against the run and 13th in the league at sacking the quarterback. Jadeveon Clowney’s potential extension isn’t going to drain the Texans completely of the $70+ million they have in cap space this offseason.There will be room to spend on other players D.J. Reader Jersey , and the Texans will still have access to draft picks they can use to supplement any remaining roster weaknesses they have. Both draft picks and cap space are finite resources, so the less areas of concern you have, the less resources you have to dedicate in order to fix the problem. Let’s take the Texans’ secondary as an example. It’s the biggest hole the Texans need to address this offseason, so it should get the most amount of resources.Part of resource management is not creating additional areas where resources need to be allocated. If the Texans lose Clowney, they will create another area where resources need to be dedicated. Clowney and J.J. Watt are, according to my expert calculations, 85% of the reason why the Texans’ defense was good. If you take one of those elements away, what are the chances of replacing the lost production and value with a single player while not devoting additional resources that could be used on other positions? The likelihood of that happening is incredibly small. Losing Clowney creates another series of problems, and it would require resources to be used to address the hole on the defensive line his absence would create.That would sap the team of resources it could have used to fix the other holes on the the roster. Furthermore, the Texans need Jadeveon Clowney. Houston is week in the area of ‘7’ and ‘9’ technique pass rushers, which is where Clowney primarily lines up. This year they book-ended each of their defensive tackles with Clowney and Watt, and that was it. Whitney Mercilus and Duke Ejiofor are both ‘7’ technique rushers who were used sparingly in that role. One wasn’t good or experienced enough to garner consistent snaps at the position; the other had a down year and saw less playing time despite being a permanent fixture in the Texans’ front seven. Keeping Clowney means Houston can maintain the same schematic versatility when they want to slide Clowney or Watt inside and bring Mercilus or Ejiofor to rush the passer. Without Clowney, Houston would have to rely on Ejiofor, a promising but not fully actualized talent, or Mercilus, a 28 year old veteran who disappeared this past season and likely has zero upside, to replace one of the best players in the league at his position. If the Texans had a viable replacement on the roster for Clowney Christian Covington Jersey , a discussion might be reasonable.They don’t.I never thought the keeping-it-simple argument would encompass paying someone an absurd amount of money, but in this case it does. Trading Clowney or letting him walk is a downgrade unless something crazy happens. You’d be throwing away a sure thing for a lottery ticket. I really want to stress this, so I’m going to say this again: Retaining Clowney eliminates a valid concern about how the Texans should maximize their roster. It keeps the defensive line an area of strength on the team.It keeps a top talent at his position on a roster that’s competing for a championship.It still leaves plenty of room for the Texans to use their remaining resources on problematic areas. Keeping Clowney in Houston doesn’t make the Texans worse.For the Texans’ front office and coaching staff, that’s all that should matter right now.

d Houston From China Nick Allegretti Jersey , the last members of the 2012 team are now gone."On Sunday, the Chiefs released linebacker Justin Houston.On Wednesday — minutes after the new league year began at 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time — the Chiefs released safety Eric Berry.And just like that, head coach Andy Reid completed his transformation of the Kansas City Chiefs.Houston and Berry were the last players who remained from the 2012 Chiefs team that finished the season 2-14 — tied for the worst record in franchise history and arguably the worst team the Chiefs ever fielded.To say that, we’re making exceptions for ageless punter Dustin Colquitt — simply because he’s a kicker, and kickers always get exceptions — as well as defensive tackle Allen Bailey, who is a free agent and is unlikely to return in 2019. (Bailey is visiting the New England Patriots on Thursday).And we’re making another exception for offensive lineman Jeff Allen, who left for the Houston Texans in free agency in 2016, only to return last season when injuries ravaged the Chiefs offensive line.Allen is also unlikely to play for the Chiefs in 2019.2012 Chiefs StartersWhen I went back to look at the 2012 starting roster, I thought I’d see plenty of bad players there.But what I noticed was there were plenty of good players on it.That seems to be what Andy Reid and John Dorsey noticed, too.Still Long Sleeve Nick Allegretti Jersey , when they took over in 2013, the changes they made were brutal.Just 24 of the 63 players on the 2012 roster returned the following season — the lowest percentage of any season going back to the beginning of the Carl Peterson era in 1989 — including just 14 of 22 starters, which was also the lowest percentage since 1989.In itself, that wasn’t particularly surprising.It’s not exactly newsworthy when a new regime cleans house, right?But two things about the 2013 roster changes stood out.One was what happened on the back end of the roster.Just 10 of the 41 reserve players from 2012 returned the following year, which was far and away the fewest since 1989.The other was the surgical precision with which these cuts were made, which played a large part in one of the most remarkable turnarounds in NFL history.Certainly coaching (and putting a solid player at the most important position on the field) made a lot of the difference when the Chiefs went from 2-14 to 11-5 in a single season, but it’s unlikely that would have happened if the Chiefs kept the wrong players.When they took over the Chiefs team that had finished 2-14 in 2008, Scott Pioli and Todd Haley famously promised to put the right 53 on the Chiefs roster.But it turned out that only Dorsey and Reid actually knew how to do that.Dorsey and Reid brought in 28 veteran players in 2013 — including six who started that season — which was easily the highest number since 1989.But there was an important difference: they didn’t keep doing it.17 veteran players joined the roster in 2014 and only seven came on board in 2015.In the years since then, the Chiefs have reverted almost exactly to the mean Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , bringing 11, 12 and 13 veterans to the team from 2016 through 2018.Over the 30 years since 1989, the average is 12.3.In 2013, 47 percent of the Chiefs roster consisted of players who had started their careers elsewhere.That percentage rose to 51 percent in 2014, but by 2018, the percentage had fallen to 35 percent.To give you a frame of reference, that’s a lower percentage than all but two of the 20 seasons Carl Peterson was running the team; Peterson actually had seven consecutive seasons — 1993 through 1999 — with a percentage of 45 percent or more.None of that should be a surprise to you.Walk into any Kansas City sports bar on an NFL Sunday and ask a random person watching the Chiefs game.They’ll likely tell you that Peterson depended too much on veteran players.And as I pointed out last Friday, the Chiefs under Andy Reid have constructed a roster much like that of the New England Patriots — one that is primarily built on homegrown talent.But there’s an aspect to the way the Chiefs have built their roster that has gone unnoticed by most fans.In 2018, the Chiefs starting roster averaged just 3.3 years of NFL experience.Only two Chiefs starting rosters in the last 30 years even came close to having that little experience: in 2008, the starters averaged 3.1 years. In 2012 Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , they averaged 3.5.Both of those teams finished 2-14.The 2018 Chiefs ended up being one play away from the Super Bowl.When Brett Veach became general manager of the Chiefs in 2018, he had an advantage that few new GMs possess: the team was already talented — and Veach himself had played a substantial role in making it that way, having been a subordinate of Dorey’s since 2013.So in his first year, it wasn’t necessary for him to make wholesale changes to the roster in order to improve a team lacking in talent — something that all three Chiefs GMs that preceded him had to do.But now, Chiefs fans — and the whole NFL — are buzzing about the “complete defensive rebuild” taking place in Kansas City.Even though just a week ago, I was essentially advocating for the exactly the moves the Chiefs have made since Sunday — saying that releasing Houston, trading Ford and cutting Berry were exactly the kinds of moves Bill Belichick might make — when Veach actually made them, I found myself in shock, wondering if the young GM had lost his mind.I’ll understand if you don’t believe that I — the eternal optimist of the AP staff — was in shock. But ask Pete Sweeney.I was depressed when we finished up our work for the day very late on Thursday night, and I was irascible when I checked in on Wednesday morning.(Editor’s note: He was.)But now I have calmed down Nick Allegretti Jersey nfl draft , recognizing that Veach had a much different problem to solve than any Chiefs GM who has preceded him.He must find the proper balance of talent between offense and defense, while also correcting a longstanding problem that existed before Dorsey arrived, and that Dorsey only made worse: properly managing the salary cap.So while this week’s changes have been painful, they were necessary.Sooner or later, somebody was going to have to rip off the Band-Aid — and now Veach has done so.Such a move doesn’t come without cost.Since three of the players who have hit the road since Sunday were starters in 2018, the changes could result in a dropoff in defensive production in the coming season.Those Chiefs fans who routinely state that the Chiefs had the second-worst defense in the NFL last season will scoff at that, saying the defense couldn’t possibly get worse.But they’re wrong.They’re basing their belief only on total yards allowed, which is far from the most reasonable measure of defensive performance.So make no mistake: the Chiefs defense could get worse in 2019.But there is definitely good news to go with it: even if they do, there’s every reason to believe that the team as a whole is now — finally — on the right track. The Patriots controlled the ball on Sunday like no NFL team in the last 16 seasons.New England’s 94 offensive plays (48 runs and 46 passes) were the most any NFL team has run in any game since 2002. The last team to run more plays than the Patriots ran in the AFC Championship Game was the Steelers, who ran 95 plays in a win over the expansion Texans in Week 14 of 2002.It’s worth noting that total plays is different than snap counts: The Patriots’ offensive players were on the field for 97 snaps Super Bowl Nick Allegretti Jersey , which includes three plays that were wiped out by penalties. The snap count of 97 is actually fewer than New England’s 99 snaps in the Super Bowl two years ago, but in that game the Patriots ran 93 plays, with another six snaps that were wiped out by penalties.Taking on a Chiefs defense that struggled to stop the run, and a Chiefs offense that was the best in football, the Patriots’ game plan was to control the ball. They did that as effectively as any team we’ve ever seen.

The group of players who play games together, especially in MMO games, often form a close community. This is especially true of Final Fantasy 14.

The game not only encourages cooperation, but also gives players the opportunity to find new friends and even partners, husbands and wives. In fact, Final Fantasy 14 is so focused on this idea, players can even get married in the game, players can also earn FFXIV Gil in the game, just like our usual life.

In Japan, you can present your actual wedding as a wedding in Final Fantasy 14. It can be said that the community is large and powerful. It is also very friendly and welcoming, and is committed to making Final Fantasy 14 a fun game for both new and old players.

So the group caught the eye of producer and director Yoshida Naoki, so he recorded a particular video message with the group. In the video, Yoshida discussed his recent Shadowbringers tour, where m read all of the relevant content - the adjustments he with the exceptional team made prior to the release, and the way he hopes release a the best version of Shadowbringers.

The most fun thing is Yoshida speaks instantly to the Facebook team as well as the Final Fantasy 14 ANZ community. He thanked the neighborhood for its continued support and said he hopes to participate in in some activities in Australia and New Zealand in 2010.

Yoshida really didn't say the 2011 Final Fantasy 14 and community plans, yet it's really exciting. More players have previously won the Final Fantasy 14 Gil for one more expansion. The next extension of Final Fantasy 14, Shadowbringers, are going to be released on July 2.

Here is what the head coach has to say about his newest employees."Yesterday the Texans announced their new coaching staff. The problem with these moves is that it’s hard to know anything about them Max Scharping Jersey Mens , where the coaches came from, their progression, why they were hired, and most importantly if they’re any good or not. O’Brien opened up on this yesterday on the Texans Podcast at Houston Texans.com. O’Brien spoke to Marc Vandermeer and Greg Harris to discuss the coaching staff. In the podcast he talks about:—Tim Kelly’s progression and why he was hired—Why Carl Smith was brought in—What the Texans look for in coaches, young ones especially—The work Will Lawing, the Texans new tight ends coach, did in Houston previously—The scheming T.J. Yates and Akeem Dent did to get an opportunity to coach in Houston—Lifting weights with Brian Cushing, and the end of his playing days—Coaching staff continuity —Collaborating with Brian Gaine and the importance of communication between the head coach and general managerEat that sandwich and give it a listen. The Houston Texans wanted to honor their late owner and founder Robert “Bob” McNair, who died last week at age 81.They knew the perfect way to do that Monday night was to keep their winning streak going.Deshaun Watson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Texans set a franchise record with their eighth straight victory, 34-17 over the Tennessee Titans.“The one thing Mr. McNair wanted was a winner,” J.J. Watt said. “All he wanted was a winner. He wanted to win every week. He wanted a team that could win and bring a championship to this city. So to be able to win eight straight and to be able to win tonight for him was good Youth Max Scharping Jersey , and we’re going to try to keep doing that for him.”Demaryius Thomas scored his first two touchdowns with Houston and Lamar Miller ran for 162 yards, including a 97-yard TD.The Texans (8-3) also saluted McNair by wearing decals in the shape of a football with white block letters bearing his initials of “RCM.” With that tribute on the back of their helmets, they became the first team in NFL history to win eight games in a row after starting 0-3. They lead the AFC South by two games over Indianapolis.“We need to try and keep getting better,” coach Bill O’Brien said. “We need to take the mantra that we’re going to improve every day.”The Texans trailed by 10 early before reeling off 27 straight points.Houston receiver DeAndre Hopkins said there was no panic after the team fell behind in the first quarter.“We’ve been down 0-3 as a record, so being down 10-0 on the board is nothing to this team,” he said.Tennessee (5-6) finally scored again on a 48-yard reception by Corey Davis late in the third quarter, but the聽second TD by Thomas聽鈥?this one for 10 yards 鈥?made it 34-17 with just more than eight minutes left.Marcus Mariota, who missed the second half of last week’s game with a stinger, was 22 of 23 for 303 yards and two touchdowns. He completed his first 19 passes before an incompletion with just more than a minute remaining.Miller’s 97-yard breakaway in the second quarter made it 21-10. It was the longest run in franchise history and the longest in the NFL since his dash of the same length for a touchdown on Dec. 28, 2014, with the Dolphins. He’s the only player in league history with two career rushing touchdowns of 95 yards or longer.The Titans went ahead 3-0 on their first possession White Max Scharping Jersey , and Jonnu Smith had a career-long 61-yard catch-and-run touchdown that extended their lead less than halfway through the first quarter.Houston got going after that, cutting the lead to 10-7 when Thomas grabbed his first touchdown since being traded from Denver on Oct. 30, a 12-yard grab with about six minutes left in the quarter.Watson put the Texans on top when he scrambled 15 yards for a score on the first play of the second quarter.The Titans went for it on fourth-and-inches from the 3 later in the second, but tight end Luke Stocker was stopped for no gain.“If you look at their goal-line defense and having a lot of good knowledge of what they do on the goal line, that’s one play that had worked,” Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel said. “It didn’t work tonight and that’s not the reason that we lost. That’s a bad play.”Miller’s long TD聽, which helped Houston set a franchise record with 281 yards rushing, came on the next play. He took the handoff in the end zone and darted through a crowd of Titans before shedding one tackle and simply outrunning the rest of the defense.“My whole mindset is just, don’t get caught,” Miller said. “Because … when we played the Dolphins, I got caught Vyncint Smith Jersey , so all the guys were giving me a hard time. So that was the only thing on my mind.”The Texans kicked a field goal as time expired in the second quarter to take a 24-10 lead into halftime.MCNAIR REMEMBEREDThe Texans honored McNair in a pregame ceremony, which included a video tribute to him while the Texas A&M Singing Cadets sang “Amazing Grace.” While the video was played, one side of the video board displayed the words: “Faith, Family, Philanthropy, Football.”Painted on both 25-yard lines was a football with his initials that looked just like the decals on the players’ helmets.Television cameras panned to several fans with signs honoring the late owner. One read: “McNair Never Forgotten.”WATSON’S WORKWatson has thrown 39 touchdown passes in his first 18 career games, which is third in NFL history behind Hall of Famers Kurt Warner (44) and Dan Marino (40).

In the three-year span of 2013 to 2015 Kyler Fackrell Jersey , perhaps no NFL assistant coach ascended higher or faster than Adam Gase. Following two years as the Denver Broncos’ quarterbacks coach, during which time he oversaw a transition from Tim Tebow to Peyton Manning at the position, Gase took over offensive coordinator duties in 2013.The result was an explosion in the Mile High City, as Manning set an NFL single-season record for passing yards (5,477) and touchdowns (55) en route to a Super Bowl appearance. Another excellent season in 2014 seemed to put him on track for a head coaching job, but he had to wait one more year to get that chance. In that 2015 season, Gase got one of the best seasons out of Jay Cutler before departing to take the head coaching job with the Miami Dolphins in 2016. Three years of mediocre football in Miami got him the boot after Week 17 concluded, however Davante Adams Jersey White , and he found himself looking for another job.Gase now has an interview for a position that would offer him the opportunity to work his magic with another quarterback on the Manning level. According to Tom Silverstein, the Packers will interview Gase for their open head coaching position in the coming days, making Green Bay the third team to speak to him about such a vacancy.The playcalling ability and offensive creativity that Gase possesses is not in question. However, his leadership style seemed to rub plenty of Miami players the wrong way. Several current and former Dolphins posted celebratory Tweets following Gase’s firing, while offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James spoke out about a lack of identity on offense. However, the team’s top quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, missed the entire 2017 season and about half of 2018.While Gase has no direct connections to the Packers Clay Matthews Jersey White , he is from the Midwest originally, growing up in Ypsilanti, Michigan and attending Michigan State University.ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reports that Gase’s interview is expected to take place on Sunday, January 6th. If one thing is certain in the NFC North after the first five weeks of the 2018 regular season, it is that the divisional race is wide open.Following a sloppy 31-23 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers (2-2-1) find themselves in the thick of a battle behind the division-leading Chicago Bears. With the Packers heading home to Lambeau Field on Monday night to face the San Francisco 49ers, it is becoming almost imperative for the team to re-right the ship before the bye week.Elsewhere across the NFC North, a pair of wideouts have become reliable weapons for their respective teams. Minnesota’s Adam Thielen and Detroit’s Kenny Golladay have posted intriguing weekly numbers over the first five weeks Aaron Ripkowski Jersey , with Thielen especially beginning to emerge as a top receiver in the NFL after another dynamic performance against Philadelphia.More on the individual achievements of the two receivers, as well as a look at what to expect from Chicago in the second “half” of its season, in today’s rundown.Detroit Lions (2-3)Won 31-23 vs. Green Bay; Bye week nextThe Detroit Lions Can Beat Anyone, And Lose to AnyoneWhile the Packers helped Detroit out on Sunday with turnovers and missed field goals. the Lions’ wild inconsistency has shown in wins over New England and Green Bay and losses to San Francisco and the New York Jets.Four Downs: Lions’ Kenny Golladay inching toward greatnessDetroit’s second-year receiver has steadily improved, tallying at least four catches and 50 yards in each game this season.

That phase is on-site visits, where teams invite prospects to come to their facilities for interviews, medical checks, and often testing and drills.It’s essentially a glorified job interview, wherein the player and gets to display the skills that he can bring to his potential new employer and both sides can get to know each other more thoroughly. Each team can hold visits for 30 players from around the country, with an additional unlimited allotment of visits for “local” prospects — those who either played college football or grew up close by.The Green Bay Packers, with two first-round draft picks in their pocket Womens Geronimo Allison Jersey , will likely be using several of their Top-30 visits on highly-rated prospects whom the team will consider early on. That was a major portion of the strategy in 2018, Brian Gutekunst’s first year as general manager, but it represented a significant change from Ted Thompson’s strategy.Before the GM change, Thompson seemed to use most of his visits on players who were either day-three or potential undrafted free agent prospects rather than top prospects. However, Gutekunst did bring in a handful of notable early options as well. Still, eight of the 27 players who visited Green Bay last spring ended up as Packers one way or another; four of them were 2018 draft picks (Oren Burks, J’Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kendall Donnerson) while another four were acquired either as undrafted free agents or added mid-season (Tim Boyle Jaire Alexander Jersey White , Gerhard de Beer, Natrell Jamerson, and Connor Sheehy).As a result, keep a close eye on this constantly-updated list leading up to the draft, as several of these names are sure to end up wearing Green and Gold at some point in 2019 or beyond.Packers Top-30 VisitsPlayerPositionCollegeSourceDraft ProjectionPlayerPositionCollegeSourceDraft ProjectionIn addition to the players noted above, the Packers also hosted a number of prospects from the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University for the team’s local prospect visits.

However Womens Montravius Adams Jersey , teams are also allowed to bring in an unlimited number of “local prospects,” players who either played college football at nearby universities or who claim their hometowns as being nearby the team facilities.For the Green Bay Packers, the most notable school whose prospects qualify as local players is the one in-state FBS program: the Wisconsin Badgers. This week, several draft-eligible Badgers will be making the short drive to the Northeast to Lambeau Field to meet with the team, reports ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Demovsky has confirmed the names of three Wisconsin players who will be in attendance in the coming days: fullback Alec Ingold, linebacker Ryan Connelly, and edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel. Other Badgers may be attending as well, but have not yet been confirmed. The team also has three offensive linemen likely to be drafted (David Edwards, Michael Dieter http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jamaal-williams-jersey , and Beau Benzschawel) and another linebacker (T.J. Edwards), along with a few additional players who could hear their names come off the board in the late rounds (safety D’Cota Dixon and nose tackle Olive Sagapolu).Ingold was a short-yardage and goal-line stud for the Badgers for four years, starting at tailback before moving to fullback and bulking up. In the last few seasons, he developed into an excellent lead-blocker and a good receiver out of the backfield, and he scored a total of 21 touchdowns over his college career.Connelly took over as a starter in 2016, playing a significant role in Wisconsin’s season-opening win over LSU at Lambeau Field. In his final two seasons, he put up almost identical stat lines, with 88 and 89 total tackles, 11 and 10 tackles for loss Womens Kyler Fackrell Jersey , and three sacks plus a forced fumble in each campaign. Connelly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds at the 2019 Combine.A junior college transfer from Iowa Western Community College, Van Ginkel played two seasons in Madison, recording 6.5 sacks in 2017 and 5.5 last year. He also posted a pair of forced fumbles in each season and picked off a pair of passes as a junior, with those two big plays coming in the Big Ten Championship Game and the Orange Bowl. UPDATE: Three more Badgers are confirmed as visitors this week. The Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Olivia Reiner reports that offensive tackle David Edwards, inside linebacker T.J. Edwards, and safety D’Cota Dixon are also attending this week’s workouts, along with players from Northern Illinois and Northwestern.

Looking to build off of two solid performances against the Packers and Dolphins Jahlani Tavai Detroit Lions Jersey , the Detroit Lions had a huge letdown game in Detroit, as the Seattle Seahawks controlled the game from front to back. With three turnovers and no running game, the Lions looked outmatched on their way to a 28-14 defeat. Here’s how it happened. First quarterThe Lions defense was out to start the game, and while Damon Harrison Sr. wasn’t in there to start—ending his 87-game starting streak—his impact would be felt almost immediately. After giving up to medium-sized runs, “Snacks” entered the game and quickly shut down Seattle’s rushing attack. The Seahawks would get to midfield before punting the ball away when Romeo Okwara picked up a sack on third down. The Lions methodically worked their way to midfield in a slow-paced drive. Facing a tough third-and-10, Matthew Stafford somehow avoided pressure and unleashed a bomb to Marvin Jones Jr. for a 39-yard touchdown. 7-0 Lions.Watch the magician pull this rabbit out of a hat:The Seahawks would answer with an impressive drive. Quickly they worked their way into Lions territory as the first quarter came to an end.Second quarterOn the second play into the next quarter, Russell Wilson dialed a deep ball of his own. Nevin Lawson was toe-to-toe with Tyler Lockett, but Lockett found separation at the last second and hauled in a 24-yard touchdown to tie up the game. 7-7.Ameer Abdullah was back to return a line-drive kick. After getting past the 30-yard line, Abdullah took a big hit and coughed up the ball, giving Seattle excellent field position. Three plays later, Wilson found David Moore in tight coverage with Teez Tabor for the 15-yard score. 14-7 Seahawks. The Lions were able to work their way to midfield on the next possession thanks to an unexpected, but successful, screen to LeGarrette Blount. From there, though Jahlani Tavai Jersey 2019 , the drive stalled and Detroit was forced to punt the ball back to the Seahawks. It looked the Lions were about to force a punt, but a review ruled a deep catch to Moore complete, extending Seattle’s drive. The Seahawks would have all sorts of success running the ball before working their way into the red zone. Seattle would cap the drive with yet another contested-catch touchdown. This time Ed Dickson elevated over Quandre Diggs—who was in a perfect position—for the score. 21-7 Seahawks.The Lions, only on their third possession of the game, couldn’t get anything going for a two-plus minute drill. Thankfully, a good Sam Martin punt pinned the Seahawks deep, preventing them from attempting to score any more points before the half. The two teams would head into the locker room with the score 21-7 Seahawks.Third quarterThe Lions didn’t go three-and-out to start the second half, but they didn’t much better. After a 12-yard pass to Kenny Golladay—his first target of the game—the Lions couldn’t manage another first down. Stafford was sacked on a third-and-2, and Detroit quickly gave the ball back to the Seahawks.Thanks to another big play from Lions-tormenter Ed Dickson, it looked like the Seahawks were about to put this game away. However, Seattle went for it on fourth-and-goal, and thanks to an illegal touch penalty, the Lions made a stop and got the ball back on their own 1-yard line. The Lions were able to get out of the shadow of their own end zone, but Youth Jahlani Tavai Jersey , once again, they stalled right around midfield. Detroit would end up punting the ball back to Seattle with 3:16 left in the third quarter, but at least we got this play from Kerryon Johnson.Fourth quarterThe Lions defense continued to struggle into the final quarter of the game. Faced with a couple of huge third downs, the Lions couldn’t get off the field, and it was only a matter of time before Wilson hit on another huge play. He did, dropping a 45-yard pass right into the hands of Moore, with Teez Tabor a good two steps behind him. Chris Carson would punch it in on the very next play. 28-7 Seahawks.Going no-huddle, the Lions offense dinked and dunked their way down into Seattle territory. To cap the drive Stafford laid a perfect pass to Marvin Jones Jr. for an 19-yard strike. The drive only took 3:43 off the clock, giving the Lions some hope to stay in this game, but they’d need some help from their defense to get back in it. 28-14 Seahawks. The defense at least gave them a shot late. Needing a big third-and-1 stop, the Lions defense got one, thanks to a huge tackle from Jarrad Davis. Unfortunately, the Lions offense couldn’t make anything of it. After a couple big plays, Stafford scrambled and dropped the ball for Detroit’s second turnover of the game White Jahlani Tavai Jersey , and essentially putting an end to any realistic fourth-quarter heroics.Detroit’s defense did respond with another three-and-out, but it was too little too late. The Lions were gifted a 56-yard pass interference penalty, but Stafford blew it with a goal-line interception, and the even the most optimistic fans were exiting the stadium.The loss drops the Lions to 3-4 on the season, and perhaps more importantly, they’re just 1-3 in the conference, with losses to potential contenders—the Seahawks and Cowboys. These are the kind of losses that could really hurt come Wild Card playoff runs, but the Lions need to play better overall if they even want a chance to compete for a postseason spot. PregameToday, the Lions celebrate homecoming, as they will induct new members into their Lions Pride class. On the field, they’ll be facing a Seattle Seahawks team that is as hungry as they are. The Seahawks will be full strength, coming off their bye as healthy as can be expected this deep into the season. The Lions, too, are fairly healthy Jahlani Tavai Jersey Mens , but they’ll be missing Ezekiel Ansah for the sixth straight game.Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia likes to say that you only have 16 games to prove your worth in the NFL, so every week counts the same. It’s a nice cliche—and technically he’s right—but the Lions’ Week 8 game is going to be quite the measuring stick for a team that has shown some clear inconsistencies through six games.From 1990-2013, teams with a 4-3 record made the playoffs 50 percent of the time. On the other hand, teams with a 3-4 record made the playoffs just 19 percent of the time. If those odds hold true in today’s NFL, Sunday’s game could mean a whole lot more than just 1/16th of a season. Detroit has just one conference win so far, and heading into Week 9 with losses to the Cowboys and Seahawks could make it very hard for this team to compete for a Wild Card spot down the line. It all starts with the Seattle Seahawks, who have also climbed out of a slow start to pull themselves to .500 by Week 8. Seattle has survived the dismantling of the “Legion of Boom” and oddly turned Russell Wilson into a pocket passer. Still, Seattle is winning games like they always seemed to have: with a running game and a defense. However, the Lions pose a pretty good threat to both of those things. While Detroit’s run defense has been one of the worst in the league through the first two months of the season, they just added one of the best run stuffers in the league by trading for Damon Harrison Sr. As for the Lions offense, they just seem to be hitting their stride now. So here’s how to tune into this Week 8 important showdown between two NFC foes: How to watch Lions-SeahawksDate: Sunday, October 28, 2018Time: 1 p.m. ETLocation: Ford Field—Detroit, MITV: FOX Week 8 TV Map: Courtesy of 506 Sports hereAnnouncers: Kevin Kugler Kenny Golladay Jersey , Ronde Barber, Chris Spielman, Shannon SpakeOnline streaming: Fox Sports Go, Yahoo Sports appLocal radio: WJR-AM NEWS TALK 760Radio announcers: Dan Miller, Lomas BrownOdds: Lions by 3 While we continue to play the wait-and-see game for who will be the Detroit Lions’ new offensive coordinator, the team’s old offensive coordinator could be on the move shortly. The newly-fired Jim Bob Cooter will be interviewing for the Cleveland Browns’ vacancy at offensive coordinator—left by the promotion of Freddie Kitchens from that spot to head coach. Cooter is likely still an attractive option for certain franchises, especially ones like the Browns that have a young, moldable quarterback. For as panned as Cooter was during his time as offensive coordinator over the past two years, his work improving Matthew Stafford from previous regimes is well documented. Before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2015, Cooter was Stafford’s quarterback coach for a year and a half. When he took over as offensive coordinator, Stafford’s improvement was obvious.Given that Kitchens will likely still have a pretty strong grasp of the Browns’ offense, pairing Cooter with Baker Mayfield makes a lot of sense. Of course, this is just an interview. The Browns have not made any sort of indications that Cooter is their guy.

“The trade is officially worth it.”Those were the words uttered by NBC color commentator Cris Collinsworth last week after Philadelphia Eagles receiver Golden Tate pulled in what would end up being the game-winning touchdown in the Wild Card game against the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately for the Eagles Frank Ragnow Jersey , the dream for back-to-back championships ended there, as Philly couldn’t hold onto their early 14-0 lead over the Saints the following week and were ultimately eliminated in the divisional round.Collinsworth’s comments were obviously a bit premature and caught up in the emotions of the moment, but now that we know all of the factors in play, it’s time to re-evaluate the trade made at the deadline for Golden Tate. As a reminder, with eight games left to play for the Eagles (nine for the Detroit Lions), Detroit sent Golden Tate to Philly for a 2019 third-round pick. So today’s Question of the Day is:Who won the Golden Tate trade?My answer: First, let’s look at all the factors here. After the Golden Tate trade, the Lions went3-6. The Eagles went 5-3, then 1-1 in the postseason. The Lions’ offensive plummeted when Tate left, while the Eagles got some, but not a ton, of production out of Tate. Here are his stats with Philly:Regular season (8 games): 30 catches, 278 yards, 1 TDPostseason (2 games): 7 catches, 64 yards, 1 TDTate was basically a non-factor in the Eagles’ divisional loss (two catches, 18 yards) against a Saints team we had seen him dominate with the Lions.Ultimately, the Eagles will be picking 25th in each round Marvin Jones Jersey , meaning the Lions are getting a late third-round pick for losing Tate.So while I think Tate is likely the main(but not only)reason Detroit’s offense took a nosedive in the last two months of the season, I really view them as the winners of this trade. Tate didn’t do much to transform the Eagles offense down the stretch, averaging fewer than 40 yards per game. Sure, he made a few big catches for the team, but it ultimately only got them to the divisional round, and they were pretty lucky they even made it that far. That being said, it doesn’t feel like the Lions are big winners out of this trade, either. The last half of the season was downright embarrassing for the Lions offense, and now the team is on the search for a new offensive coordinator and the franchise quarterback is under fire. All that for a late third-round pick.When it comes down to it, the Lions and Eagles are both out of the playoffs. The Lions still have something remaining from the trade, while the Eagles only have early negotiating rights for Golden Tate. On that basis alone, it’s clear the Lions were the winners here.Your turn. The Lions are recipients of an early bye, playing less than a third of their schedule before getting a week off. However, fantasy players are well into their seasons, with the playoffs as close as seven weeks away. Every week in season-long leagues is vital, and with Detroit on its bye, it gives us time to reset expectations for the rest of the year.QuarterbackMatthew Stafford (ADP: QB10, Actual: QB15)Week 1 was a disaster for Stafford with four picks Darius Slay Jersey , but he was only slightly more productive in Week 5 against the Packers. Only once has he topped 25 fantasy points, which was something he accomplished five times last season. While he is averaging more attempts per game that he did last season, his last three outings have only seen 30.7 passes per game.Stafford has always been a quarterback who benefits from volume, so there is some reason for pause given his recent performance. He is still well within the mix at the position, but there are probably better quarterbacks to start each week. Stafford is due for a slight uptick in fantasy production, but his ADP is likely his ceiling this season.Running backKerryon Johnson (ADP: RB25, Actual: RB27)Everyone across the fantasy world is dying for Johnson to get more carries, but that has not been in the Lions’ plans so far. Even so, he has done a great job with the few touches he has received, recording over 9.0 points in each of his past four weeks. The volume is bound to increase at some point, which could mean big things in store for the rookie.Aside from workload, the two potential flags for Johnson are his lack of touchdowns and minimal targets. The former is unlikely to change too drastically, as he will probably not see a ton of goal line work. The receptions are something that could increase with playing time, though. Either way, everything is trending up for Johnson.LeGarrette Blount (ADP RB52, Actual: RB53)Theo Riddick (ADP RB54, Actual: RB49)The emergence of Johnson has rendered both Blount and Riddick useless in fantasy. Expectations for the duo were fairly low before the season, and the first five weeks have confirmed that belief. Blount did fall into the end zone twice against Green Bay Matthew Stafford Jersey , but he is only useful in goal line situations, which are impossible to predict.Riddick had a crazy 12 targets against San Francisco, but has not seen a ton of action since then. If Johnson continues to grow into a bigger role, he may also play a part in the passing game. Blount and Riddick can safely be ignored in fantasy.Wide receiverGolden Tate (ADP: WR21, Actual: WR10)It may not be obvious that Tate is a top-10 receiver this season, but the numbers do not lie. He has caught at least seven passes in three of his five games this season, and he has topped 100 yards twice after doing so just three times in all of 2017. Stafford is absolutely feeding Tate, and he leads the team in targets by 10.Though he has yet to see a target in the end zone, Tate has already scored three touchdowns this season. He has been excellent after the catch as usual, and figures to be a big part of the offense all season. Tate did have a bit of a down game against the Packers, which is a good reminder of his history of a low fantasy floor, but he will outperform his ADP.Marvin Jones (ADP: WR25, Actual: WR35)For whatever reason, Stafford and Jones have not been fully in sync in 2018. They have connected for three touchdowns already, but the total seems like it should be so much higher. As a result, only twice has Jones scored more than eight points, and he has yet to even record five catches in a game.There is cause for concern with Jones. He is beginning to look like the third receiver in the trio, which probably moves him out of the fantasy WR2 conversation. However Jarrad Davis Jersey , this offense is good enough to sustain three receivers, and it is unlikely that he will continue to struggle all year long. Jones is still seeing a ton of end zone targets which means opportunity will always be there, but temper expectations.Kenny Golladay (ADP: WR52, Actual: WR16)All of the hype in Detroit belongs to Golladay, who has grabbed national attention in his sophomore season. He has four outings over 14.0 points and two games over 17.0 points, making him about as consistent as you could hope for in fantasy. His 41 targets firmly place him as the team’s second receiver, and the workload should only increase.Golladay has three touchdowns this season to go with 27 receptions and over 400 yards. No one was expecting this sort of production, and he has a good shot for ending the year as a top-20 wide receiver. With plenty of mouths to feed in Detroit, there is a chance he sees a small dip, but Golladay is completely trending in the right direction.Tight endLuke Willson (ADP: TE33, Actual: TE67)Michael Roberts (ADP: TE60, Actual: TE60)Levine Toilolo (ADP: TE60, Actual: TE74)We knew the tight end situation was going to be rough, but this might be even worse than expected. In total, Lions tight ends have 18.4 fantasy points this season. This would not even crack the top 32 individual players at the position. Ouch.There is not much to say here. Some had hoped Willson might be a sleeper, but he has just four catches through four games. Roberts is the lucky recipient of the group’s lone touchdown, but that was his only catch of the year. Run away from Detroit tight ends; it does not get any uglier than this.

Vegas odds have Tampa Bay as underdogs again What is Las Vegas thinking about the Buccaneers and Eagles game this weekend? Last week http://www.buccaneerslockerroom.com/authentic-john-lynch-jersey , Vegas was thinking a Saints blowout, but was way off in that prediction. In no way am I a professional gambler, and in no way am I telling you to put your money with what I predict. This is really just for fun and something we here at Bucs Nation thought the readers would enjoy after sports gambling was legalized. For those that don’t know sports gambling, I will quickly go over the three main bets that are often placed. Also, the lines could always change and the website you use, could be different from another one. Betting with the spread: Currently, the Buccaneers are +3 陆 . This means that if you were to take the Buccaneers with the spread, they could lose by 3 points and you’d win. On the opposite side, if you took the Eagles at -3 陆 , they’d have to win by 4 for you to win the bet. Spread bets always have the same odds, which are -110. This means that you need to risk $110 to win $100. Money line bets: As of Friday evening, the Eagles are -170, while the Buccaneers are +150. In money line bets, all the team you bet on has to do is win. In terms of what the -170 means for the Saints Kendell Beckwith Jersey , you’d have to risk $170 dollars just to win $100. The Buccaneers at +150, meaning that a $100 dollar bet would win you $150 dollars. This is a big difference from last week, where the Buccaneers were +440.Over/Under bets: Again, no matter what way you pick, the odds in this case are -110. Vegas sports books currently have the over under at 44 陆 total points scored . If you take the over,the Bucs and Eagles must combined to score 45 points in order for you to win. Obviously, the under is 44 or under. So now we get to the part where I try and beat Vegas. Last week, I picked Tampa Bay at +9 陆 (won), but i also picked the under 49 陆 (lost). Current record on the season is 1-1. I will keep a tracker all season of how I am doing.A few things to consider. Philadelphia is 16-2 straight up (money line) in it’s last 18 games and 6-1 straight up on the road in their last seven. The total has gone UNDER in five of the last six games Tampa Bay has played at home, but the total has gone OVER in four of the last five matchups between the Eagles and Bucs.Just like last week, the public is leaning towards the Eagles. According to Oddshark.com 58% of the public is taking the Saints at -3 陆. Heavy bets have been coming in on the OVER of 44 陆.My picks: Buccaneers at +150 and the under over 44 陆. It’s Tampa Bay’s home opener and I believe they will win the game. The Buccaneers have momentum to carry over from last week’s win and unlike other week two’s, I think they do that this season. Tampa Bay starts 2-0 for the first time since 2010. I picked the over simply because Tampa will score points, but so will the Eagles. Ryan Smith and two rookie corners are playing this weekend. That’s a recipe for disaster, but like last week Ryan Smith Jersey White , “Fitzmagic” will outscore Foles. You want a Bucs defense? You get a Bucs defense."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 2016 NFL DraftInjuriesFree AgencyGame FilmCBS Gives Todd Bowles Everything He Wants In Latest 7-Round Mock DraftNew,15commentsYou want a Bucs defense? You get a Bucs defense.EDTShareTweetShareShareCBS Gives Todd Bowles Everything He Wants In Latest 7-Round Mock DraftKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsMock drafts have a way of inciting anger and elation as much as they have the ability to break-up lifelong friendships and even cost people full-time employment. These fictitious morsels of uninformed guess work sure do give those of us who love them quite the emotional response some times.For the record, I’m not entirely sure Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles reads mock drafts or not. I imagine if I were in his position I would, if for no other reason than to just get a beat on how outsiders view my stable of players.Many mock drafts since Jonah Williams stopped being a consensus Top-5 pick have had the Bucs going defense in the first round. I recently stumbled upon a seven-round mock draft constructed by CBS’ Chris Trapasso, and he agrees with the majority.In his recent complete mock draft, Trapasso has Jason Licht and the Buccaneers pulling the trigger on selecting LSU linebacker Devin White.The linebacker has been wowing teams, media and scouts alike since the draft circuit reached full steam, and he did so once again at his pro day.Bowles is installing a new defense. One many players on the Buccaneers are not familiar with in execution. Having an interior linebacker in the middle of it all to make sure all of his teammates are in the right place for the play call and reads is going to be critical to the success and failure of the unit.Deone Bucannon provides experience and knowledge with the scheme, but isn’t going to be able to fill the full-time role Bowles needs there. He can however, help incorporate and accelrate White’s learning curve, getting him ready to quarterback the defense in 2019.Trapasso wasn’t done giving Bowles new faces for his side of the ball though. In the second-round, the writer has Penn State’s Amani Oruwariye heading home to Tampa. Of course, if you’ve listened to any of our draft conversations on the Locked On Bucs Podcast, then you know I smiled at this selection. So hopefully Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey , so does Bowles.Oruwariye has the size and skill to fit what we think the Bucs will want to do on defense this year. I’ve spoken about being in favor of having a veteran to start opposite of Carlton Davis III this coming season, but if there isn’t one - which there isn’t right now - then I’m all-in on Oruwariye and Davis manning the perimeter for Tampa Bay.By the end of day two, new offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is likely to wonder if he did something to make Bruce Arians and Jason Licht angry as the team nabs yet another defensive player.This time, it’s Texas defensive lineman Charles Omenihu. In his mock, Trapasso compares Omenihu to current player Jason Pierre-Paul. Offensive line truthers will be angry here. But man, Omenihu on the defensive line would really start making this defensive group look dangerous.Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsThose concerned about the offense don’t have to worry though. While Bowles is likely in his office for most of day three plugging away finding ideas on how to use his significantly re-loaded defense, Leftwich gets three straight picks in rounds four, five and six for his side of the ball. And they’re all good picks too. (Man, Trapasso killed this.)The final pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is my favorite. Not because he’s an instant starter or all-pro in the making, but because he’s a sleeper I personally identified early in this process and have kept an eye on ever since.I won’t ruin the ending. Just head over and check out how the entire 2019 NFL Draft will pan out. Then get to praying it happens exactly how Trapasso says it might. Because the Buccaneers came away with perhaps the best draft class in the league if it does.

NFL fantasy football waiver wire: 6 adds and 3 drops for Week 4 It’s time for another round of fantasy football waiver wire adds and drops as we enter Week 4. Week 4 AddsFalcons WR Calvin RidleyThe Falcons are finally getting great production from their first-round pick Trayveon Williams Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , as Calvin Ridley has been targeted 13 times and scored four touchdowns over the past two weeks. The former Alabama star burned the Saints for 146 receiving yards and three scores on eight targets in Week 3. He clearly has passed Mohamed Sanu as the No. 2 option next to Julio Jones, making Ridley one of the top pickups you need to make this week. Bengals TE Tyler EifertThe Bengals finally got some much-needed production from Tyler Eifert, who is working his way back after missing much of the last two years due to injury. Eifert caught six of eight targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 31-21 loss to the Panthers. He had just five catches for 67 yards combined over the first two weeks, so this was a big step forward. He’s still splitting time with C.J. Uzomah, though Eifert is slowly getting the bulk of the snaps and targets. Eifert was owned in just 56 percent of CBS leagues as of Sunday. Raiders WR Jordy NelsonThe Raiders are a mess, but that has at least led to Derek Carr throwing the ball a lot through the first three weeks. That continued in a Week 3 loss to the Dolphins, where Jordy Nelson re-emerged from the fantasy graveyard to catch six balls for 163 yards and a score on eight targets. If he keeps that up, Nelson will become a weekly starter again, but for now, he’s good receiver depth on your bench. Ravens RB Javorius ‘Buck’ Allen It’s hard to say you should add a guy that has 102 total yards through three games, but when he has four touchdowns, you can’t let him sit on waivers either. That’s the case with Buck Allen Renell Wren Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , who continues to slowly take away touches from Alex Collins, who did have a score and 68 yards in a Week 3 win over the Broncos. Allen is still worth adding if you need running back help. 49ers RB Alfred MorrisThe 49ers were hit hard on the injury front in Week 3 (more on that later), which included Matt Breida suffering a knee injury. He did return to the game but had his touches limited to just 13 in a loss to the Chiefs. That allowed Alfred Morris to get more snaps, as he ran for 67 yards and a score on 14 carries. Even if Breida is fine, Morris is someone that needs to be rostered as a handcuff at worst. Packers WR Geronimo AllisonIn addition to having one of the best names in the NFL, Geronimo has now over 60 yards receiving in every game this season while scoring twice on 13 catches. The Packers have been featuring him early and often this year, so get him on your fantasy team if you need receiver help. Week 4 Drops49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo The 49ers fear Jimmy Garoppolo tore the ACL in his left knee late in Sunday’s 38-27 loss to the Chiefs. Garoppolo will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the extent of the injury, but the initial prognosis within the team is that he’s out. It’s a tough break for the rising star, as his season is likely ending before the calendar even turns to October. Even if he somehow plays again this season, he’s struggled to make the fantasy impact that we all thought he could. He has just five total touchdowns in three games and has averaged under 250 yards per game. He’s safe to drop. Jets WR Robby Anderson Despite a promising start to the year, Robby Anderson is struggling just to get targets in the Jets’ suddenly anemic offense. Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse both drew more targets in the 21-17 loss to Browns. For the season, Anderson has just six catches on 10 targets for 90 yards and one score. That’s just not going to cut it Trayveon Williams Jersey Womens , so you can cut bait with him now. Bengals WR John RossThe Bengals had high hopes for John Ross coming into this season, and for good reason. The former ninth-overall pick had a strong training camp and preseason, enough to think he had clearly established himself as the No. 2 wide receiver in this offense.But after three games, Ross has just five catches for 27 yards and one score. Even with A.J. Green sidelined for much of the loss in Carolina, it was Tyler Boyd and Tyler Eifert who carried the passing game, while Ross crumbled and gave up on a route that led to a game-sealing interception.Ross can be dropped in all leagues except deep dynasty leagues.Bengals Bytes (9/25): Defense will have a chance at redemption with red hot Falcons up next PFF 2019 NFL Mock Draft 1 | NFL Draft news and analysis | Pro Football FocusLead NFL Draft Analyst Steve Palazzolo outlines his first 2019 NFL Mock Draft after 4 weeks of action in the 2018 NCAA football season.Defense hits erase as Falcons loomBengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and his defensive coordinator Teryl Austin have been around long enough to know September isn’t December. The day after Sunday’s soul-searching 31-21 loss for a defense that allowed rushing yards and third downs at will, neither man blinked in the hot glare of scrutiny.Glasgow's Break-Out Year Takes A KneeBengals sophomore defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow was just coming into his own in the first three games of this season and now he’s on his own after tearing his ACL during one of his break-out games Sunday in Carolina.Quick Hits: Austin Takes Blame; Glasgow Surgery May Be Family AffairWhen the Bengals hired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin back in January the word was he was a stand-up guy that extracted loyalty from his players and on a Grim Reaper Monday that proved to be true.Winners and losers from the Bengals’ Week 3 loss to the PanthersFor the average NFL team, the difference between starting 3-0 and 2-1 is quite disparate. Per Pro Football Reference, teams opening with a 3-0 record in the current playoff format earn postseason berths 72.3% of the time. A 2-1 start, on the other hand, gives clubs only a 52.3% chance at making the playoffs.Bengals' defense surprised, flattened by PanthersDown to its last chance Trayveon Williams Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , the Bengals' defense dug in to stop the run. The Carolina Panthers ran the ball six straight plays, got a pair of first downs and finished them off. This time, there was no big play to save a defense that's given up a lot of yards in three games.Bengals' turnover magic ran out against PanthersIt sure seemed like the Bengals’ defense was headed for late-game heroics for the third straight week, but the opportunistic defense of the first two weeks failed to generate a turnover in a 31-21 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. “We didn’t make any bounces go our way,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “We had opportunity and we’ve got to make them bounce our way.”Cincinnati Bengals lose Ryan Glasgow to season-ending injuryRapoport said Glasgow, a second-year player from the University of Michigan, suffered a torn ACL. Glasgow, a key reserve, played in all three games this season and appeared in all 16 games as a rookie. Glasgow, a 6-foot-3, 300-pounder, was a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2017.Bengals’ Green on groin injury: ‘I’ll be fine’Green sustained the injury while attempting to make a leaping catch over the middle in the third quarter and did not return in Cincinnati’s 31-21 setback to the Carolina Panthers.Marvin Lewis wants John Ross to better ‘protect his quarterback’John Ross is the biggest talking point coming out of the Cincinnati Bengals’ 31-21 loss to the Carolina Panthers — for all the wrong reasons. Ross was the intended target on two Andy Dalton interceptions Trayveon Williams Jersey 2019 , making him a target for an overall miserable day. A.J. Green had already talked about the issues.What’s next for Bengals defensive line after Ryan Glasgow tears ACL?CINCINNATI – As the son of two orthopedic surgeons, Ryan Glasgow knew the news was bad before Bengals trainer Paul Sparling got to him as he lay writhing on the Bank of American Stadium turf Sunday in Charlotte.Random BytesBen Roethlisberger, Steelers Hang on to Beat Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buccaneers on MNFIt was only a matter of time before Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick stopped playing like an MVP and the Pittsburgh Steelers stopped playing like a last-place team, and both early-season trends ended Monday.Ryan Fitzpatrick 1st in NFL History to Throw for 400 Yards in 3 Straight Games"FitzMagic" hasn't dissipated entirely, as Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick bounced back after a slow start Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers to make history. Fitzpatrick threw for 411 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in a 30-27 defeat. In doing so, the 35-year-old became the first quarterback to eclipse 400 passing yards in three straight games.Report: Vikings' Everson Griffen Allegedly Threatened to Shoot Someone at HotelMinnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen was reportedly named in a police report regarding an incident at a Minneapolis hotel in which a person allegedly "[threatened] to shoot someone in the middle of the day on Saturday."
