there’s fire.ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Detroit Lions have traded Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-sylvester-williams-jersey for a third-round pick. Tate has already responded to the trade, essentially confirming the move.This is a shocking move for the Lions seeing as Tate has been an absolutely essential part of the offense since the team acquired him five years ago. In 71 games, Tate had 416 catches, 4741 yards and 22 touchdowns, including four straight seasons with 90+ catches and three seasons with at least 1,000 yards.The Lions will have to drastically change their outlook of their offense without Tate. Hopefully the rise of a running game and Kerryon Johnson will help, along with the emergence of Kenny Golladay as a receiver. The Lions will also have to promote either Brandon Powell or TJ Jones to a bigger role with the offense—the two have combined for just three catches on the year. We all know that Detroit Lions cornerback has confidence in spades Cheap Taylor Decker Jersey , but he may have just outdone himself this week. It’s one thing to play with the kind of swagger he does and challenge quarterbacks to come at him. It’s another to ask a quarterback to sign the ball of their first interceptions ever thrown.But that’s exactly what Slay did in this phenomenal NFL Films profile of him that dropped this week:“His first pick, I wish he could sign my ball, he put his name on that,” Slay told Charissa Thompson. Not only was the pick Carson Wentz’s first career interception of his young rookie season, it also sealed the win for the Detroit Lions over the then-undefeated Philadelphia Eagles and pushed the Lions to 2-3. Detroit would end up making the playoffs at 9-7, while the Eagles were on the outside looking in at 7-9. But would Wentz sign the ball that marks the first big blemish of his career? “Why wouldn’t he?” Slay said bluntly. That kind of confidence is what makes Slay such a likeable player in Detroit. But here’s the best part: This may actually happen. Slay’s former teammate Haloti Ngata, who just so happens to play alongside Wentz now in Philadelphia Sam Martin Jersey , reached out to Slay via Twitter and told him he’ll get it done:If this actually comes together, it will be a new high point for Slay. Getting a quarterback to sign the ball from their first career interception—and a game-losing interception, no less—is just another assertion of Slay’s dominance around the league. Never change, Slay. « Detroit Lions running backFalcons vs Bengals: Can the offense continue to dominate? » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
