CINCINNATI (AP) — Ryan Tannehill tried to dump the ball at the feet of his tight end rather than take a sack.Instead Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , the ball flew out of his hand, smacked off a helmet and flew directly to a Bengals lineman for an easy touchdown return.Just like that, everything fell apart for the Dolphins.Tannehill had a pair of indescribable turnovers that Cincinnati’s linemen returned for touchdowns in the fourth quarter Sunday, helping Cincinnati rally for a 27-17 win.Miami (3-2) was in control in the second half, leading 17-0 and doing pretty much everything it hoped. The Dolphins’ many mistakes changed the momentum and left them stunned.“I didn’t know what happened,” Tannehill said of his fumble that rookie Sam Hubbard returned 19 yards for the clinching score.The Dolphins came into the game with concerns about both of their lines. They’d lost two starters on the offensive line, and the defensive line was depleted with end Cameron Wake hurt and tackle Jordan Phillips released after a poor game that included a sideline outburst.Yet Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , there they were, in control in the third quarter with a chance to finish off the Bengals (4-1), who were out of sync and struggled to do anything consistently.The Dolphins helped them greatly.First, Martrell Spaight drew a 15-yard penalty for taunting a Bengals player after a punt return. A personal foul on T.J. McDonald on a failed third-down play extended Cincinnati’s touchdown drive that turned the momentum.“We were struggling to get anything going,” Cincinnati punt returner Alex Erickson said.Andy Dalton’s touchdown pass to Joe Mixon got the crowd excited and gave the Bengals a sense of hope. The Dolphins knew they’d contributed to the change in momentum.“We had two penalties on that drive that killed us,” coach Adam Gase said.Tannehill’s two turnovers changed everything.Under pressure, he tried to avoid a sack by dumping the ball at the feet of Durham Smythe. The ball hit the tight end’s helmet and deflected directly to Michael Johnson Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , who ran 22 yards untouched for the tying touchdown.“It’s probably a play where he just needs to eat it and take a sack,” Gase said.Tannehill then lost a fumble when he was hit by Carlos Dunlap, the ball flying directly to Hubbard for the clinching touchdown return.“I heard the crowd cheer and everyone run away from me, so I knew something bad happened,” said Tannehill, who was 20 of 35 for 185 yards.Miami made the big plays early, but couldn’t close it out with a 17-0 lead. Kiko Alonso picked off Andy Dalton’s tipped pass near the end zone to stop Cincinnati’s opening drive Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey nfl draft , Vincent Taylor blocked a Bengals field goal attempt, and Jakeem Grant returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown with 23 seconds left in the first half.The Dolphins suffered another injury to their line when left tackle Laremy Tunsil went out with a concussion in the fourth quarter, another factor in their implosion.“Our left tackle wasn’t in,” Gase said. “That kind of can do some damage. And when you get behind, it causes problems.” MIAMI (AP) — Coach Adam Gase’s new backup quarterback in Miami is his former backup quarterback in Denver.Brock Osweiler signed a one-year contract Friday with the Dolphins to provide veteran insurance behind Ryan Tannehill, who is coming back from two knee operations.Gase was an assistant with the Broncos when Osweiler was a young reserve for them in 2012-14. Osweiler went 0-4 as the Broncos’ starter last season and has 25 career starts in six NFL seasons.With the Dolphins he replaces Matt Moore, a free agent after seven years as their backup quarterback. Despite adding Osweiler Youth Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey , the Dolphins will consider drafting a quarterback next month.Tannehill is expected to return after missing all of the 2017 season, but he has twice had surgery since his most recent game.The Dolphins made two other moves to upgrade their offense. Five-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore finalized a deal with his hometown team after agreeing to terms Thursday. Tackle Sam Young agreed to terms on a one-year contract to remain with the Dolphins, two people familiar with the negotiations said.https://twitter.com/MiamiDolphins/status...38055038976Gore, who turns 35 next month, has rushed for 14,026 yards to rank fifth on the all-time list. He spent the past three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, and ran for 961 yards last season.Young Infant Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey , an eight-year NFL veteran, started six games at right tackle for the Dolphins last year after Ja’Wuan James was hurt. He’s expected to be James’ backup again this season.131<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Miami Dolphins cheerleadersSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports | Steve Mitchell
Los Angeles Rams versus Minnesota Vikings: Stock up Discount David Edwards Jersey , stock down Wow. In an indescribable and highly emotional night and contest, the Los Angeles Rams escaped with another win improving their unbeaten record to 4-0.The game was a high scoring affair that finished with a score of 38-31 for the home team.Let’s take a look at the stock report:Stock DownK Sam FickenOnce again, it wasn’t all terrible for Ficken. He actually scored all five of his extra points and went 1-for-2 on field goals, though his miss from 28 yards was awful. It came at an awful point in the game as the three points would have put the Rams up by 13, instead they were only up by 10 and the Vikings came right back with a touchdown nearly tying the game.CB Sam ShieldsShields was not the only defensive back who struggled - matter of fact, majority of the defense did. But it was clear the Vikings loved picking on Shields last night for whatever reason. I wouldn’t say it’s a cause for concern because Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are a downright dominant duo, but Aldrick Robinson shouldn’t be scoring a touchdown on Shields and Marcus Peters in coverage. Also, Shields’ almost-INT-turned-3rd down conversion was a turning point in the game.OLB Matt LongacreMatt Longacre is being depended up on to step up with edge Dominique Easley out, but he hasn’t separated himself in any shape or form. Whether it’s the injury or lack of pass rush Austin Blythe Jersey , Longacre hasn’t been able to distinguish himself at all. The Rams will need more from the co-starter moving forward.WR Josh ReynoldsReynolds hasn’t been asked to do much recently, but his rep on the fake-punt-pass was very poor. The only explanation that’s acceptable is he might have lost the ball in the lights, but even then, he didn’t even bother going for the pass which certainly looked catchable. For a guy who’s huge and a jump-ball type receiver, you expect Reynolds to put forth a better effort than that.Stock UpWR’s Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks, Robert WoodsThis trio is the best in the league and I’m not sure any other receiving corps is close. Kupp was the lead dog last night pulling a 9-162-2 line and looking absolutely un-coverable all night. Brandin Cooks managed to score his first touchdown as a Ram in his 7-116-1 line. Lastly, Robert Woods started to dial in-in the second half and took advantage of his opportunities registering a 5-101-1 line. These three were absolutely brilliant against a very good Vikings defense.. The trio looks like they might all be able to crack 1,000 yards receiving a piece.Rams’ OLUnreal. This offensive line is on something because they continue to put forth the leagues best performance from an OL group. The Rams’ running attack only had 100 yards though that was clearly not the plan of attack. They averaged 5.0 yards per rush which is fantastic. Not only that Kurt Warner Jersey , but Jared Goff was sacked one single time and was generally given pristine pockets to work from. Anytime your quarterback can close in on 500 yards, you know the offensive line was absolutely dealing.QB Jared GoffElite. These past two weeks haven’t been good from Goff - they haven’t been great either. They’ve been ELITE. Goff continues to prove he’s not just a guy that works well in the system. Some of the pin-point accurate throws he’s making are jaw-dropping. Going 26/33 for 465 yards and 5 TD’s with 0 INT’s, Goff literally looked unstoppable. He was finding open receivers left, right, and center. And when they weren’t open, he was throwing them open. The touchdowns to Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Brandin Cooks were absolute dimes. The corner TD to Kupp defied all the laws of physics.DT’s Aaron Donald, Ndamukong SuhThe Rams’ handsomely paid defensive lineman are starting to show out. They started the game by collectively stopping the run - and it worked. The Vikings averaged a measly 3.2 yards per run. Aaron Donald finally managed to register his first legitimate sack - actually http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-marshall-faulk-jersey , he got two. Also, Ndamukong Suh notched another sack coming off defensive end for his second on the season. Rams coach Sean McVay’s coaching acumen has been praised far and wide over his two seasons in Los Angeles, but no one is singing his praises after Super Bowl LIII.The Rams managed 260 yards of offense in their 13-3 loss to the Patriots and McVay didn’t hold back when it came to assigning blame for the loss. He said in his postgame press conference that “I got out-coached” and criticized himself for not doing more to get running back Todd Gurley “in a flow” during the game.“I’m almost numb … They did great job but it was mostly result of me doing a poor job calling plays and not giving us a chance to win. I don’t know how you ever get over this,” McVay said in an interview with Ed Werder of Westwood One.At 33 years old, McVay should have a long run ahead of him to prove he can find a way to get past this loss and learn from what went wrong to do a better job of coaching in a big game.
Half of the quarterbacks playing in the championship round will be on the wrong side of 40.Joining Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the Fifth Decade Club is Saints quarterback Drew Brees http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-spencer-ware-jersey , who turns 40 today. Brady, 41, will face the Chiefs immediately after Brees tries to outscore the Rams.No one thinks that 2018 will be the last rodeo for either aging cowpoke. Brady has repeatedly vowed to stick around through his 45th birthday. Brees hasn’t placed an expiration date on his career milk carton, but he has shown no signs of slipping.Both are first-ballot Hall of Famers. Both are among the best five to ever play the game. It would be fitting it both end up playing each other in Atlanta in 19 days.For now Womens Carlos Hyde Jersey , though, it’s about Brees. Drafted by the Chargers in 2001, cast into free agency after five seasons, unwanted by the Dolphins Demarcus Robinson Jersey , and embraced by New Orleans, Brees is destined to be remembered as one of the best to ever play the game — and he’s destined to be successful at whatever he does after he stops playing. ATLANTA (AP) — The Latest on the AP NFL individual awards Saturday (all times local):7 p.m.It was a Patrick Mahomes runaway for NFL MVP.In his second pro season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took The Associated Press 2018 NFL Most Valuable Player award. He received 41 votes from a nationwide panel of media members who regularly cover the league. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees got the other nine in balloting announced at NFL Honors.With only one previous start, Mahomes entered the season as something of a curiosity in Kansas City after the Chiefs traded veteran Alex Smith to open up the job. It didn’t take long to erase any doubts as Mahomes led the Chiefs to their first AFC title game since the 1993 season http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-mitch-morse-jersey , throwing for 50 touchdowns, 5,097 yards and had a 113.8 QB rating, trailing only Brees.“I’m so humbled Womens Xavier Williams Jersey ,” he said. “This is just the beginning. We’ve got a long ways to go.”Mahomes’ creativity — the guy can throw from all angles and make plays inside and outside the pocket — energized the Chiefs’ fan base and excited fans across the league.“The play is never dead. He can find new ways to get you the ball,” Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce said. “It may look like a screwball, a slider here or there, but it’ll get to you eventually.”Mahomes is the sixth straight quarterback and 11th of the last 12 years to win MVP. No Kansas City player had won the award since the Chiefs joined the NFL in 1970.
The forecast for Foxborough Sony Michel Jerseys Stitched , Massachusetts at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon is for around 26 degrees and the Patriots are making sure that the Chargers are aware of the temperature when they hit the field.Mike Reiss of ESPN.com shared聽a picture of a thermometer taped to a Gillette Stadium wall near where the Chargers will take the field for Sunday’s game. The Chargers aren’t frequently in those temperatures back in Los Angeles, which is likely why head coach Anthony Lynn made sure they got some time in the elements ahead of Sunday’s game.The Chargers arrived in New England on Friday and they held an indoor walkthrough practice at Brown University in Providence on Saturday before heading outside for a while. One coach told Albert Breer of SI.com that the idea was for the players to “enjoy the cold.”Any enjoyment the Chargers experience on Sunday will likely have to do with on-field success rather than the crispness of the air, but making the weather as little of a factor as possible shouldn’t hurt the chances of the former. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (13-5)UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: OLB Dee Ford (franchise tag), OLB Justin Houston, DT Allen Bailey, TE Demetrius Harris, FB Anthony Sherman Trey Flowers Jersey , RB Spencer Ware, CB Orlando Scandrick, C Mitch Morse, OG Jordan Devey, WR De’Anthony Thomas, OG Jeff Allen, OLB Frank Zombo Womens Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey , RB Charcandrick West, WR Chris Conley, CB Steven Nelson, WR Kelvin Benjamin, FS Ron Parker.RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: SS Jordan Lucas, OLB Terrance Smith.NEEDS: Priority for Chiefs is fixing one of NFL’s worst defenses, especially with new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s switch from 3-4 to 4-3 system. Ford was franchised but club is trying to work out a long-term deal while listening to trade offers. Houston was released to create $14 million in salary cap space with two years left on his deal. Nelson could return but help is still needed at LB and in porous secondary http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-james-harrison-jersey , which was shredded by Tom Brady in overtime of AFC title game loss. At least newcomer S Tyrann Mathieu, who agreed to sign contract, will help.AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $18 million, but Chiefs could use some to extend WR Tyreek Hill and DT Chris Jones this offseason while being mindful QB Patrick Mahomes could be looking at extension next offseason.

At 6’4” and 253 lbs, Moreau has good size, and will join a deep tight end group. Oakland has a need at the position after letting Jared Cook walk in free agency. While he isn’t a star pass catcher, Moreau’s value comes as a blocker as he shows an effective feel for pass protection and is a violent run blocker. He earned Practice Honors at the 2019 Senior Bowl in which the Raiders helped to coach.

Unless they aren’t.The more accurate statement would be “until they aren’t,” because G.M. Mike Mayock made it clear on Thursday that Carr will continue as the team’s quarterback for as long as the team believe that it’s in the team’s best interests to do so.“Derek Carr is a franchise quarterback, and we believe that,” Mayock said Thursday. “Beyond that, just like at any other position, we’re going to do our due diligence. If we found somebody we liked better, or thought had a bigger upside, you’ve got to do the right thing for the organization.”That’s the closest anyone with the Raiders has come to telling the truth regarding the manner in which the Raiders regard Carr. And that may be news to Carr, who apparently bristled via Twitter at the mere news of a private workout with incoming rookie Kyler Murray and who presumably has received far different messages from Gruden privately.Indeed, Gruden has sent far different messages regarding Carr publicly.“He’s our franchise quarterback. Let me make that clear,” Gruden said at the Scouting Combine in February.“I’m glad he’s our quarterback,” Gruden said during the 2018 season, after Gruden and Carr engaged in a heated sideline exchange.“Yeah, he’s going to be our quarterback,” Gruden said last month, at the annual league meetings. “I’m not going to address all the rumors. I could care less about the rumors, you know?”But the rumors linger, and Mayock’s comments will do nothing to quell them. Mayock could have said that, for example, the Raiders worked out Murray and Dwayne Haskins so that the Raiders would be able to properly value those players in the event an opportunity arises to trade the right to draft one of both of them, by moving down in round one from the fourth overall pick. Mayock didn’t say that, however. He said that the Raiders are looking at alternatives to Carr because “[i]f we found somebody we liked better, or thought had a bigger upside, you’ve got to do the right thing for the organization.”So, basically, the Raiders like Carr enough to keep him. Until they find someone they like better. And that could happen in as soon as 13 days, when the Raiders use any of the three first-round picks they hold in the 2019 draft.If there was any ambiguity about that before, there shouldn’t be now. Meanwhile, I’m going to go check Carr’s Twitter feed.
Could Miami be interested in the second year signal caller?"The Dolphins still need a quarterback and until they find one Minkah Fitzpatrick Jersey , will continue to be linked to EVERY available option. So when the rumors began to swirl that Kliff Kingsbury was set to take Kyler Murray with the first-overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, an unexpected quarterback may have become available on the trade block. According to Albert Breer in his latest Monday Morning Quarterback, the Dolphins have “checked in” on the 22 year old QB.TheMMQBJosh Rosen was the 10th-overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and was highly regarded by many as one of the best quarterbacks of the class. Unfortunately, a less-than-stellar rookie campaign behind one of the league’s worst offensive lines, made it difficult to evaluate his true potential. As a rookie Kenny Stills Jersey , Rosen threw for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions on the NFL’s worst team. No one knows where he will land but If the Dolphins want a young quarterback with lots of potential, Josh Rosen is their guy.Obviously, the compensation is what matters most with Rosen.But every team in dire need of a QB Reshad Jones Jersey , will have interest in the young talent from UCLACould a change of scenery bring new life to Josh Rosen’s career? What type of compensation would you be willing to trade for a QB, with three years, $7-Million left on his rookie contract?Let us know in the comments section below!The Splash Zone 9/17/18: Dolphins Start 2-0 After Yesterday’s Win Against The Jets It wasn’t pretty, but the Miami Dolphins got a tough division win on the road yesterday and started 2-0 for the first time under Adam Gase. Ryan Tannehill had some highs and lows, but sealed the game with his first down run before the 2 minute warning in the fourth quarter. We also witnessed history as Frank Gore is now the #4 all time leading rusher as he passed Curtis Martin in the history books. The defense applied pressure all day forcing the rookie quarterback Michael Deiter Miami Dolphins Jerseys , Sam Darnold, to make some erratic throws.

We read them, we argue about them, we agree with them, we dissect them, we wonder why Team A is ahead of Team B when Team B just beat Team A, and we wonder why Team C who beat Team B is behind both Team A and Team B. It is definitely a normal part of Tuesday now.With that said, it is time to release my Week 2 NFL Power Rankings. I did not release my Week 1 Power Rankings last week - mostly because I put together the rankings on Thursday and by the time I was ready, the game had started and it was too late. That said, my Last Week rankings are included in the rankings below.At the topNothing should be surprising about the top of the rankings Christian Wilkins Jersey Womens , with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Rams all in the top four, with no changes to the rankings from last week. The Jacksonville Jaguars round out the top five, moving up one position.The Green Bay Packers move three spots to claim the sixth position, while the New Orleans Saints fall two spot after losing at home. I feel like allowing 48 points at home should make a team fall more, but for this week, I kept it small and want to see what happens next week. The Kansas City Chiefs made a four-position move and are now eighth; I feel like this might be a little too high for the Chiefs, but I did not see them behind any of the teams close to them in the rankings, so we will see if they stay in this area for fall to just outside the top ten. The Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons round out the top ten, with the Panthers up two position and the Falcons, who lost to the Eagles, fall two spots.The MiddleAfter you get outside of the top ten, it feels like there are several teams that could quickly rise or fall as the season gets rolling. The Pittsburgh Steelers dropped four positions after a tie with the Cleveland Browns, while the Chargers are down two position after losing to the Chiefs. The Baltimore Ravens moved up one spot after a 47-3 victory Christian Wilkins Jersey Cheap , and I really wanted to see them move up higher, but with how the Bills looked, and even Baltimore Beatdown calling the game a “sixth preseason game,” I did not see a way to weigh that win as overly impressive. The Houston Texans move down one position after losing to the Patriots, more because the Ravens deserved to move up than anything the Texans did in the game.The Chicago Bears fell one position down to 16 after a one-point loss to the Packers. If they keep playing like they did in that game, they probably will start moving up the rankings quickly. The Denver Broncos moved up to 17th from 20th last week, while the Tennessee Titans fell one position to 18th. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers jumped six spots with their win over the New Orleans Saints; the only question here is whether or not Ryan Fitzpatrick can continue to play like that. The Washington Redskins are 20th after a three position rise, while the San Francisco 49ers are down to 21 after a loss to the Vikings, dropping three spots. The Dallas Cowboys then fall one position after a rather lackluster performance against the Carolina Panthers.Miami DolphinsRight in the middle of those “The Middle” teams are the Dolphins, who moved from 16 last week to 15 this week. I am probably higher on the Dolphins than most of the power rankings from outside the South Florida market, but I just never felt like this team was a bottom tier club. They feel like a middle of the pack team right now, with the capability to either explode or implode. Sitting in the 15th position seems fair.Dolphins 2018 high: 15Dolphins 2018 low: 16Biggest ClimbThe New York Jets jumped nine places this week, up from 32nd to 23rd. They demolished the Detroit Lions on Monday night, but Detroit did look really bad. I need to see more from the Jets before I am ready to skyrocket them any further.Biggest DropThe Lions dropped from 19th to dead last at 32. If you want to argue that the Buffalo Bills looked just as bad, if not worse, than the Lions Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , I would consider it, but at least the Bills can decide at some point to get their rookie quarterback experience. The Lions are Matthew Stafford’s team and there is not a lot of change they can expect if he, and the rest of the team, continue to play like they did on Monday night.The RestThe bottom of the league did not see a lot of changes in terms of teams, other than the plummet from the Lions, but they did see some teams complete some jumps or falls. The Seattle Seahawks lost two spots, while the Oakland Raiders lost one, with the two clubs ending up in 24th and 25th, respectively. The 26th and 27th positions were claimed by last week’s 30th and 31st teams, the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns - a tie for the Browns is not a loss, and they are rewarded for not losing this week. The New York Giants fall two positions to 28th, while the Indianapolis Colts remained the same in 29th. The Arizona Cardinals fall three spots to 30th, with the Bills and Lions rounding out the rankings.2018 Power Rankings - Week 2RankTeamLWResultsRankTeamLWResults

It’s Day Four since the non-call heard ’round the world, and the NFL has yet to say anything about it.

Despite not being flagged, Robey-Coleman could be fined for the illegal hit to a defenseless player.If the league office fines Robey-Coleman, the league will necessarily be admitting that a flag should have been thrown.The admission could become even more explicit, if Robey-Coleman appeals. In cases like this, a player who gets fined without being flagged will argue that the absence of a flag proves he shouldn’t be fined. And that will force the league to say, within the confines of the appeal, that the flag erroneously wasn’t thrown.The machinations of the league’s internal appeal processes remain a far cry from a public statement acknowledging error. But that may be the closest the league ever comes to making that acknowledgement. Unless senior V.P. of officiating Al Riveron decides to tackle the missed call in an official video addressing the various calls that cry out for explanation from Championship Sunday.
KANSAS CITY Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , Mo. (AP) — From the moment he took over the Kansas City Chiefs‘ front office, general manager Brett Veach has been willing to go out on a limb, whether it was signing a big-name free agent or swinging a trade or releasing a well-known player.Now, he will finally have a chance to show what he can do in the draft.Veach was hamstrung last year by the decision in 2017 to trade away the Chiefs’ first-round pick and move up to 10th overall and select Patrick Mahomes.And while nobody is lamenting that decision after the quarterback’s record-breaking MVP season, it still left Veach without a first-round choice in his first draft — a big challenge when it comes to plugging holes in a roster.He will have the No. 29 choice this year after the Chiefs came within an overtime of beating New England and reaching the Super Bowl. But he also has an additional second-round choice from the trade of volatile cornerback Marcus Peters to the Rams, and that means ample opportunity to get creative.“The fact we have a one and two twos, and then a one and two twos next year, puts us in a position to be aggressive from now until the start of the season,” Veach said. “Looking toward not just next season De’Anthony Thomas Jersey , but for the next two, three, four, five years, if you’re not proactive in your approach then you’re always chasing your tail.”Veach is one of the more open GMs in the league, willing to offer his opinion on just about any subject. But when it comes to discussing details, he’s as savvy and coy as a card shark.Then again, it doesn’t take a genius to realize help on defense will top his draft to-do list.The Chiefs fired coordinator Bob Sutton, ditched his 3-4 system and hired Steve Spagnuolo to put in a 4-3 scheme. They’ve already made a series of moves to create better fits for their personnel Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , but they still need help getting to the passer and in the defensive backfield.Fortunately for the Chiefs, this year’s draft is particularly deep in both of those areas.“I’m always looking for a smart, aggressive, tough-minded defense,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid. “You don’t have to be the fastest guy, but effort becomes a huge thing for me. Toughness becomes huge for me. The ability to make plays, understand the game — that’s important.”So with that framework in mind, here are some areas of need heading into the draft:PRESSURING THE PASSERThe Chiefs signed Alex Okafor and traded for Emmanuel Ogbah, but they still need help. They hope Clemson DE Clelin Ferrell could fall to them late in the first round Ron Parker Jersey , and Montez Sweat of Mississippi State and TCU’s L.J. Collier are also possibilities.PLAYING CENTERFIELDThe Chiefs released longtime but injury prone Eric Berry and signed Tyrann Mathieu in free agency, but they may not be done at safety. Jordan Lucas and Daniel Sorensen have some experience and Armani Watts made great strides before a season-ending injury as a rookie, but quality depth remains important. Someone like Maryland’s Darnell Savage might fit nicely.ON THE OUTSIDEKendall Fuller excelled in his first season in Kansas City, and Bashaud Breeland joined in free agency. But things are thin beyond those two, making CB arguably the biggest need in the draft. Georgia standout Deandre Baker, Greedy Williams of LSU and Rock Ya-Sin of Temple all have the kind of size and athleticism that the Chiefs value on the outside.WHAT ABOUT WIDEOUT?Tyreek Hill’s uncertain legal situation — he was involved in a child welfare case — means the Chiefs could be on the lookout for a WR in the middle rounds.HELP ELSEWHEREOffensive and defensive lines always seem to be a priority for Reid, himself an old-school OL coach. The Chiefs lost C Mitch Morse in free agency and could use not only depth but a player with upside who could develop into a potential starter.

NFL Films is no stranger to producing films commemorating a Super Bowl title for the New England Patriots. When it came time to tell the story of the Patriots’ sixth championship Drew Bledsoe Jerseys 2019 , they found that tying it into the past five was the best route.The final product is a 75-minute DVD that shows how the Patriots’ road to their third title the past five years had many of the trademarks of past championship New England squads. The DVD was released to the public by Cinedigm on Tuesday.The video starts with the final play of Super Bowl 52, when the Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, and ends with New England celebrating in Super Bowl 53.“You are always looking for what fuels a champion and tells a great story,” said NFL Films senior producer Todd Schmidt. “They started 1-2 and everyone wrote them off, but then got momentum late in the season. That type of story is a lot of fun.”Schmidt said the main job for the producers who work on these projects is how to use the games to tell the story of the season and the arc that the team eventually reached. For the Patriots there was the additional storyline of how does a dynasty respond to adversity?Senior producer Rob Gill, a Massachusetts native, was responsible for compiling the Patriots’ season highlights as the production process ramped up after the AFC championship game. Schmidt said some of the best parts of the video are getting to hear coach Bill Belichick interact with his team.“Anytime you have Belichick wired up and you can see inside the greatest dynasty in NFL history White Steve Grogan Jerseys , it is interesting story telling,” he said.Schmidt said Belichick talking to the defense during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, and talking plainly on what they needed to be successful, was one of the best parts about him being wired.After the Patriots scored to take a 10-3 lead in the fourth quarter, Belichick told his defense “we don’t have much left here. We’ve got to get them right. . They really can’t beat us. We just can’t screw up.”The Super Bowl takes up 17 minutes of the video. Schmidt, like many others, said he was concerned after the game how they were going to fill the time because there was not much scoring. But as they started to look at the footage Steve Grogan Jerseys 2019 , those concerns abated.“You would expect a lot more larger shots, but what we did was focus on the speed and sound of the game, which was captivating. Instead of slow footage, we have fast footage,” Schmidt said. “The time passed quick because we accentuated the sound and did not slight the drama. People aren’t going to say it was a boring recap.”Besides the Patriots’ season highlights, the DVD also includes features from Super Bowl opening night and post-game ceremonies. There are also features recapping the season around the rest of the NFL. Even before Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 28-yard field goal to seal the New England Patriots’ 43-40 win over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, the contest was living up to its enormous pregame hype: plenty of scoring White Kevin Faulk Jerseys , momentum shifts, and huge plays on both sides made for a highly entertaining product. In fact, an argument can be made that last night’s game was one of the greatest contests ever to be played at Gillette Stadium.Let’s take a look at some other regular season games that could fall under this category and be named in the same breath as yesterday’s meeting. And even though those games do not carry the weight of do-or-die playoff meetings, they nevertheless oftentimes leave the crowd highly satisfied about having witnessed a truly spectacular contest – even if the result may not always be a positive one, as the list shows.Disclaimer: we are only including games played at Gillette Stadium, which has opened in 2002 and since hosted 139 regular season contests. Furthermore, games like “On to Cincinnati” or “59-0” are not included in the list. While they were entertaining from the Patriots’ perspective Kevin Faulk Jerseys 2019 , they were not exactly back-and-forth nail-biters like yesterday’s game.2002: New England Patriots vs Kansas City ChiefsThe second regular season game ever to be played at Gillette Stadium turned into a modern but by now largely forgotten classic – and one that again had the Chiefs take part in the action. The meeting was a fairly close one early on as the two teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 17. At that point, however, both offenses picked up steam and scored a combined six touchdowns in the final 15 minutes to end regulation at 38-38. New England subsequently won the coin toss and drove to a game-winning field goal in overtime2009: New England Patriots vs Buffalo BillsOn opening day 2009, Tom Brady made his comeback from a knee injury that cost him virtually all of the 2008 season. The prime time matchup against the Buffalo Bills turned into a memorable one that saw the visitors jump to a 24-13 lead with under six minutes left to play. However, a touchdown pass by Brady was followed by a Bills fumble on the ensuing kick return. Just three plays later, the Patriots were on top 25-24 thanks to another scoring pass by Brady – and all was right again in New England’s football world.2012: New England Patriots vs San Francisco 49ersWeek 15 of the 2012 season saw the Patriots and 49ers play a shootout not unlike yesterday’s: one team – San Francisco in this particular case – went up big early on before seeing the other almost complete the comeback. New England found itself down 31-3 early in the third period before scoring 28 unanswered points to tie the game midway through the fourth quarter. The 49ers, however White Tedy Bruschi Jerseys , were able to pull away again late and ultimately ended up winning 41-34.2013: New England Patriots vs Denver BroncosOne year after their failed comeback attempt versus San Francisco, the Patriots once more found themselves in a big hole during a prime time matchup that saw plenty of hype before the game: down 24-0 at the half against Peyton Manning and the Broncos, the team went on a ferocious rally to score 31 straight points. Denver ultimately tied the game at 31 to force overtime. In the extra period, the Patriots’ decision to kick away paid off and the team ultimately won by a field goal.2017: New England Patriots vs Houston TexansLast year’s meeting between the Patriots and Texans was more competitive than this year’s. The back-and-forth game saw New England go up early in the third quarter before Houston rallied back to go up 33-28 with under three minutes remaining. However, Tom Brady did what Tom Brady does and drove New England’s offense the length of the field. The drive ended with a pin-point touchdown pass from Brady to wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
ALAMEDA Antonio Brown Jersey White , Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have signed linebacker Vontaze Burfict.The move Tuesday puts Burfict on a new team one day after he was released by the Cincinnati Bengals, where he spent his first seven seasons. During his time with Cincinnati, Burfict was repeatedly suspended by the NFL for violent hits and for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancers.One of Burfict’s most infamous hits was to the head of wide receiver Antonio Brown late in a playoff game in the 2015 season that helped the Steelers rally for an 18-16 win. Burfict and Brown will now be teammates after the former Pittsburgh star was traded to Oakland.Burfict will be reunited with Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, who was in charge of the Bengals defense from 2014-17.During his career in Cincinnati, Burfict had 8½ sacks and five interceptions. He made the Pro Bowl in 2013. Thursday we tweeted out a question to the fans. The question was “If you could force the Raiders to do one thing this offseason, what would it be?” There were a lot of responses to that query, with a fair amount of variation. One response, however Bo Jackson Jersey White , was easily the most common — fire Tom Cable.That means there were more responses calling for that as well as the most faves of those responses by far than any other suggestion.And honestly, these fans have a lot to back up their demand. Even if at this point it would appear the longtime NFL offensive line coach’s job is safe at least for one more season.There seems to be a mountain of damning evidence which makes you wonder how Tom Cable keeps getting NFL Oline coaching jobs.For going on 14 years, not a year has gone by in which Tom Cable didn’t have a job in the NFL as either an offensive line coach or higher. What has he done to deserve such job security? Well, that is quite the mystery. For every piece of evidence we have suggests he has consistently led some of the worst offensive lines in the NFL.Last season he came onboard with Jon Gruden as his offensive line coach and assistant head coach. Coming over from Seattle. The Raiders offensive line, which was stocked with three Pro Bowlers and an All Pro and was a season removed from being arguably the best unit in the league, instantly plummeted to 25th in the league and got Derek Carr sacked a career-high 51 times.Meanwhile in Seattle, the unit that he left went from 31st in the league under him to among the best without him, helping to launch the Seahawks on an improbable playoff run despite seeming like they would have a down year.That offensive line in Seattle was never good in Cable’s time there. Russell Wilson was consistently having to escape pressure and improvise and Marshawn Lynch consistently led the league in yards after contact https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , due in large part to seeing contact at or behind the line of scrimmage so often. In Cable’s seven years as Seattle’s Oline coach (2011-17) the offensive line averaged a rank of 27th and the year they won the Super Bowl they were the WORST IN THE NFL. That’s a testament to how good that Seahawks defense was and how good Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch were at masking the offensive line woes.Compare that to this past season in which the Seahawks, under new offensive line coach Mike Solari, were the league’s best rushing team.A month ago Optimum Scouting did a study of Offensive Line coaches using sacks and tackles for loss as their measurement. They found the average number of sacks and tackles for loss NFL teams give up and then found a number either negative or positive for a grade of sorts. Cable ranked poorly. Really poorly.While his tackle for loss value was positive thanks to having Marshawn in the backfield getting positive yardage when most other backs would not, Cable’s sack value was astoundingly bad. He was the 32nd ranked Offensive line coach even with the positive tackle for loss value (57.0) because his sack value was -135.2; by far the worst in the league. The next lowest was Detroit’s Jeff Davidson with -104.2 and then Tampa’s George Warhop with -75.6.So, yeah, when Raider Nation overwhelmingly calls for Tom Cable to be ousted, it isn’t on a whim. There is substance behind it.Some other frequent demands the fans had for this offseason include:Sign Antonio BrownPlay the 2019 season in OaklandSign LeVeon Bell.Sign Frank ClarkSign JaDeveon ClowneyFind a true middle linebackerRe-sign Jared CookCut Johnny TownsendTrade Derek Carr/draft a QBKeep Derek Carr/don’t draft a QBHave Mark Davis sell the teamFollow @LeviDamien
HOUSTON (AP) — Now that the Houston Texans believe they’ve finally found their franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson Seantrel Henderson Jersey , they want to do everything they can to make things easier on him.“As long as I’m here, I’m going to make every effort to put the pieces in place around him to help him, support him, and help him be successful on the field,” general manager Brian Gaine said. “That might be on the perimeter. That might be on the offensive line. That might be in the backfield. That might even be on defense — a guy that can generate more turnovers that gets the ball back to him even more than that. He’s certainly a centerpiece in terms of how we want to build our team and it’s a focal point of how we want to build the roster.”Their first priority in this year’s draft should be improving the offensive line after Watson was sacked an NFL-leading 62 times as Houston won the AFC South but lost to the Colts in the wild-card round. Watson played every game in his second year after having season-ending knee surgery as a rookie Senio Kelemete Jersey , but was banged-up for a chunk of the season while dealing with a partially collapsed lung and broken ribs from taking hits.The Texans have three picks in the first two rounds, with their top selection coming at No. 23 a year after they didn’t have any picks in the first or second rounds because they shipped their top two picks to get rid of Brock Osweiler and trade up to get Watson in 2017.While Gaine naturally wouldn’t say what direction they planned to go in the first round, he did say he’s been impressed with the talent at offensive tackle in this draft. That includes Florida’s Jawaan Taylor and Washington State’s Andre Dillard.“It’s a good year in the draft at tackle for both the left and right side at various points in the draft, from starting-caliber players to backup players,” he said.Houston signed free agent left tackle Matt Kalil this offseason Black Tytus Howard Jersey , but it’s unclear how much he’ll bolster the group after missing all of last season with a knee injury. The Texans started Julie’n Davenport at left tackle last season and Kendall Lamm played right after Seantrel Henderson had a season-ending ankle injury in Houston’s opener. Gaine indicated they plan to stick with Davenport at left tackle, but need him to take a step forward in his third year. Lamm left in free agency, but Henderson is healthy and they expect his return will improve the protection for Watson.If the Texans do draft an offensive tackle, Gaine would prefer that he’s versatile.“Nowadays you need a guy that can athletically block on the left, equally block on the right White Tytus Howard Jersey ,” Gaine said. “There’s going to be a good pass rusher on the right side of the offense as much as there is on the left … you want them to be fully dimensional, full skillset, and not just be a power guy or not just be an athlete that can handle power. Ideally, we want the full complementary skill set to play left and right tackle.”Some things to know about the Texans as the draft approaches:CORNERBACK DEPTHThe Texans lost veteran Kareem Jackson in free agency and cut 2015 first-round pick Kevin Johnson after four injury-filled and ineffective seasons. They signed free agents Briean Boddy-Calhoun and Bradley Roby and have veteran Johnathan Joseph but could use the draft to add more depth at the position with Joseph turning 35 this month.QUESTIONS AT RUNNING BACKHouston could look to add a running back in the later rounds with starter Lamar Miller entering the final year of his contract and D’Onta Foreman yet to show he can return to form after surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon in 2017. The Doak Walker Award winner appeared in just one game last season after rushing for 327 yards in 10 games as a rookie in 2017.Despite his struggling to get healthy and contribute last year, the Texans remain confident that he can help them in the future.“From everything that we hear Youth Tytus Howard Jersey , he’s really working hard and he’s ready to go,” Gaine said. “It’s a big year for him.”VALUE IN LOWER ROUNDSThe Texans added some good players in last year’s draft despite not picking in the first or second round. Safety Justin Reid, a third-round pick, made 12 starts and had three interceptions and 88 tackles. Fellow third-round pick tight end Jordan Akins made six starts and had 225 yards receiving. Houston also found value in the fourth round with receiver Keke Coutee, who had 287 yards receiving and a touchdown in six games despite being slowed by hamstring injuries. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson made it through this week’s practices with the Packers unscathed despite getting jostled by a member of Green Bay’s defense during Tuesday’s session Tytus Howard Jersey 2019 , but his backup wasn’t quite as lucky.AJ McCarron had to leave Tuesday’s practice early after hurting his right thumb while following through on a pass. John McClain of the reports that McCarron could miss the entire preseason as a result of the injury.Whether McCarron is able to make it back on the field by the end of the summer or not, the Texans are going to need to add a quarterback to the roster. Joe Webb is the only other backup behind Deshaun Watson right now and the team will want another arm on hand to fill in while McCarron is recovering.McCarron appeared in two games for the Raiders last season. Webb appeared in every game for the Texans last season, but most of his time was on special teams and Watson was the only quarterback to throw a pass for Houston last season.
The NFL is a league Cheap Jessie Bates III Jersey , by-and-large, driven by quarterbacks. It is hard to win if a team鈥檚 signal caller is not up to par. Franchises that lack consistency under center are similar to trying to eat clam chowder with a fork. It is possible, but not the best way of going about winning or consuming such an exquisite dish.The NFL has been completely parlayed into a league that values dual-threat passers. No longer, or rather hardly, do you see the 鈥渢raditional鈥?quarterbacks that move like they are stuck in quick sand when it is time to flee the pocket.This list is a countdown of the league鈥檚 starting quarterbacks. Some teams have yet to sort through the chaos as position battles are set to be decided in training camp. This countdown is based off of last season鈥檚 performance, sustained success, talent, and, for some, what direction they might be trending in.So without further ado, here are the quarterbacks that rank from 32 to 17:32. AJ McCarron/Josh AllenYes, the Buffalo Bills have the lowest ranked quarterbacks on this list as McCarron and Allen lack experience. We could very well see both guys under center for Buffalo as the adjustment period could be steep. However, head coach Sean McDermott knows he has a thoroughbred in LeSean McCoy and an opportunistic defense to support his young signal callers. The Bills defense finished seventh in the league in turnover differential so expect a heavy dosage of ground-and-pound.31. Josh McCown/Teddy Bridgewater/Sam DarnoldMcCown figures to have the advantage with Bridgewater and Darnold only a mistake away from being the 2018 New York Jets starter. The Jets are doing the right thing making Darnold earn the job. The former Trojan fits the mold of the new-age passer that can occasionally display the ability to scramble. It is not a matter of if he can start, but more so when?30. Tyrod Taylor/Baker MayfieldThe Cleveland Browns are on the brink of relevancy, but the first order of business starts at the most important position. Taylor is the perfect bridge-gap starter as he does not turn it over much (only 18 interceptions thrown). Also, he takes what the defense gives him as he has a career passing percentage of 62.4 percent. Lastly, the former Virginia Tech passer is good for 400+ yards on the ground as he has hovered or surpassed that mark since 2015. Mayfield Alex Erickson Jersey Limited , despite being the top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has his work cut out for the starting gig.29. Patrick Mahomes IIThe keys to the Ferrari were handed to Mahomes as he now assumes control of the Kansas City Chiefs offense following a trade that sent Alex Smith to the nation鈥檚 capital. He has to be salivating like he is waiting for cake as he looks at an offense that features three Pro Bowlers in Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce. The addition of Sammy Watkins only makes that cake look much sweeter. A 3,500-yard campaign seems to be in line for young Mahomes.28. Mitchell TrubiskyTrubisky will have a full training camp and preseason in which he will be the Chicago Bears unheralded man under center. He started the final 12 games as a rookie in which he compiled 2,193 passing yards and seven touchdowns in an offense with marginal talent. He will have new weapons in 2018 with the likes of Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, and Trey Burton coming to town. With more talent, might we see an increase in productivity for the former Tar Heel like we saw in Carson Wentz? Maybe, but he has to reduce his propensity to turn it over as he had 17 total last year.27. Sam Bradford/Josh RosenHealth is a major concern for both of these quarterbacks and surveying the field behind an offensive front that gave up 52 sacks a year ago cannot be thrilling. Nevertheless, the Arizona Cardinals have two guys that are extremely smart with the football, will take what is available, and are even-kilt. Bradford is the incumbent, but Rosen has the tools to start too. The good news is one of them will have a chance to throw to the ageless wonder that is Larry Fitzgerald.26. Jameis WinstonYou just never know what you might get with Winston. He is a player that certainly has the skills to be higher on this list. Off the field, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization rave about him being a stand-up guy, but his latest suspension regarding an Uber driver in 2016 says otherwise. On the field, he is a player capable of throwing three touchdowns or three interceptions. Winston was supposed to improve a dismal Bucs squad upon his arrival Billy Price Jersey , but a record of 18-27 is hardly doing that.25. Blake BortlesBortles underwent refurbishing his image last year under head coach Doug Marrone. He went from a boom-or-bust player to someone that understands that taking care of the ball will win him games. It worked too. As a result, he helped guide the Jacksonville Jaguars back to the playoffs for the first time since 2007. Most wonder if he can get back to his 2015 form when he finished tied for second in the league in touchdowns (35). That year his numbers were inflated because his team was down big in a lot of those games. It is safe to say Bortles would rather win.24. Ryan TannehillTannehill, from 2013-2015, had quietly gone under-the-radar as a promising young thrower of the pigskin. He was eclipsing 3,900 yards and threw at least 24 touchdowns during that timeline with ease. He was having a fine campaign in 2016 until he got hurt and missed the Miami Dolphins playoff run. In 2017, the former Aggie did not even get to lace his cleats as he needed season-ending surgery to repair his ACL. At age 29, Tannehill needs to produce otherwise he could be at odds with a Dolphins front office that has put the roster through the wringer in the last year or so.23. Andy DaltonMuch like the Cincinnati Bengals, Dalton has been a bit of an enigma. He has an elite receiver in AJ Green, solid tight ends in Tyler Eifert and Tyler Kroft, and he has versatile backs in Giovani Bernard and Joe Mixon. Somehow some way, Dalton and the Bengals cannot put it all together. Dalton has been to the playoffs six times with ZERO wins to show for his efforts. Not to mention, the Bengals have missed the playoffs the last two years.22. Joe FlaccoMuch to the chagrin of many Baltimore Ravens fans, Flacco has struggled to right his wrongs after winning a Super Bowl in 2012. Flacco is just 38-36 since winning it all. The former Super Bowl MVP finished 2017 with 3,141 yards and 18 touchdowns which marked his lowest totals in a full season since his rookie campaign. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the team drafting Lamar Jackson.21. Eli ManningManning went three straight years with at least 4,000 yards and 26 or more touchdowns until last year. That is what people would call the aftermath of an Odell Beckham Jr. injury. Many thought the New York Giants should draft a quarterback in an attempt to push Manning towards an early retirement. The franchise鈥檚 brass did not budge as they believe the former Ole Miss standout will be just fine with a returning OBJ and the acquisition of the electric Saquon Barkley.20. Case KeenumThe journeyman Keenum enjoyed a successful year with the Minnesota Vikings as he orchestrated their run to the NFC Championship. The honeymoon phase did not last long as he was snubbed by his former team as they paid Kirk Cousins. He is everything NFL scouts tend to ignore as he is undersized at 6鈥? and not exactly fleet of foot. However, he is a fierce competitor. The Denver Broncos and Keenum are both looking to sucker punch teams this upcoming season.19. Alex SmithSmith keeps aging like fine wine as he enjoyed a career-high in passing yards (4,042) Cheap Sam Hubbard Jersey , passing touchdowns (26), and passer rating (104.7). He was traded from the Chiefs to the Washington Redskins who chose to ignore their former starter in Cousins. The quarterback carousel will make your head spin. Smith is good for taking care of the ball as he has not thrown 10 interceptions since 2010 and he still has the wheels to give defenses the chills.18. Jimmy GaroppoloGaroppolo is the only undefeated quarterback on this list as he is 7-0 in starts between the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners made it rain on Jimmy G as they entrusted him with a five-year deal worth 27.5 million annually. He displayed all of the skills of a player that was mentored by Tom Brady except the catch is that he is much more elusive. He built a rapport with Marquise Goodwin, Trent Taylor, and George Kittle in the late stages of the season. With Pierre Garcon returning from injury and the selection of rookie Dante Pettis, Garoppolo could successfully step out of Brady’s shadow. Big things are brewing in the Bay Area to say the least as Garoppolo is the centerpiece.17. Marcus MariotaMariota has the potential to rise up this list, but injuries have derailed him. He was a shell of himself last season as his passing yardage and touchdowns decreased while his interceptions hiked. The former Oregon stud looked tentative and unsure of himself, but it cannot be easy returning from a broken leg injury he suffered in 2016. Nevertheless, Mariota could be due for a stellar season with Rishard Matthews, Corey Davis, Delanie Walker, and the pass-catching back that is Dion Lewis at his disposal. Heck, maybe he will catch a touchdown from himself again.Shocked? Flabbergasted? Befuddled? Well, that is just the way the cookie crumbled here.

Four tight ends were kept on the final roster and just one of the original four avoided the Injured Reserve list — and he was playing hurt for the majority of the year. Tyler Eifert returns to Cincinnati on another one-year deal and coming off another season-ending injury. Joining him are C.J. Uzomah on a brand new three-year deal along with Mason Schreck, Cethan Carter (who are also both coming back from I.R.), Jordan Franks and Germany’s own Moritz Boehringer. Only Tyler Kroft was not retained and left for the Bills this offseason (and may not even play most of this season).Still lots of youth. Still lots of uncertainty. That’s why Drew Drew Sample was drafted. When the Bengals chose Sample with the 52nd overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, many were surprised to see him go off the board that early. In the month that’s passed, the Bengals have witnessed what makes Sample not just a great player, but a great fit for what they needed. Let’s take a look at the five main reasons why Sample will find a key role with Cincinnati. 1. Injury insuranceAs stated above, the Bengals have had terrible injury luck with their tight ends and they needed to take steps to ensure they had adequate depth. If this unit can stay fully healthy, Sample may not get very many snaps. If the injury bug continues to plague the position, then Sample will be asked to contribute early.2. Great blocking ability Long gone are the days of Reggie Kelly. The Bengals haven’t really had a great blocking tight end in recent years, and that’s what Sample does best. Coming out of Washington, Sample was arguably the best blocking tight end in the draft and he should be able to immediately be able to contribute in that regard. Yes, run blocking has naturally been devalued as the game has evolved, but if the Bengals want to run the ball better, the addition of Sample will definitely help. 3. Potential upsideWhile he was best known for blocking, you could make the argument that Sample was heavily underutilized as a receiver. His above average athleticism suggests he can be a more prominent option in the passing game. Just last year, the Seahawks were said to have over-drafted Sample’s former teammate in Will Dissly and he looked fantastic in his injury-shortened rookie season as a receiver. Sample’s athletic testing at the NFL combine should indicate he can become a better player than he showed to be in college. 4. Greater versatilityNot only does his blocking suggest he has a great ceiling as an individual player, but it shows Sample offers great versatility to the total offense. He can be used as a sixth offensive lineman or he can be used as a downfield receiver. His versatility can help keep the defense guessing and allow the Bengals to get chunk plays. He should also be helpful opening up holes in the run game William Jackson Jersey , even blocking out on screens for Joe Mixon and the Bengals other running backs.5. Potential Tyler Eifert replacementEifert is one of the leagues best receiving threats at tight end anytime he is on the field. The problem is he’s rarely on the field. In extending Uzomah for three years, some form of stability was established, but Sample provides additional future support at the position. Of course, if Eifert is not retained next year, the Bengals will need another player to potentially step up in his shoes. Sample may not become that caliber of player immediately, but he gives them an option. Overall, Sample is a good player with a lot of potential that should be better in the NFL than he was at Washington. Ideally, he would be given time to adjust near the bottom of the Bengals’ depth chart, and if luck is on their side for once, Sample can go through 2019 with a limited role. If Sample needs to play more and sooner than expected, his baseline ability should help him adjust.
BUFFALO BILLS (6-10)UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: WR Deonte Thompson http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/randy-bullock-jersey , OGs Ryan Groy and John Miller, OT Jordan Mills, RB Taiwan Jones, DT Kyle Williams (retired), CB Vontae Davis (retired).RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: TE Logan Thomas, CB Lafayette Pitts, DL Eddie Yarbrough, LB Deon Lacey, P Matt Darr.NEEDS: With their quarterback position finally (hopefully?) settled following Josh Allen's rookie season http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/mark-walton-jersey , Bills can begin filling various needs around him. And after spending past two years purging high-priced and underachieving players, they also have money to spend, though GM Brandon Beane maintains he'll be "judicious." It starts with upgrading patchwork offensive line that was unable to offset abrupt losses of C Eric Wood (career-ending injury) and LG Richie Incognito (retirement) in 2018. Buffalo has begun adding linemen after signing Spencer Long to three-year contract last month. Receiver is another issue after Kelvin Benjamin's production deteriorated — he was cut with month left in season. Bills added to offense by agreeing to sign RB Frank Gore and TE Tyler Kroft. Gore, 35, joins 30-year-old LeSean McCoy to form NFL's oldest backfield tandem. Kroft joins team that was carrying one tight end, Jason Croom. On defense, Buffalo's thin at linebacker. With starting job open opposite Tre'Davious White, Bills reached agreement to sign former Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson.AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $70.6 million, though the anticipation is Bills will target mid-range free agents and avoid making splash they did in signing DE Mario Williams to six-year http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/hardy-nickerson-jersey , $100 million contract seven years ago. 2018 is coming to a close, as the Cincinnati Bengals complete yet another disappointing campaign. There is just one game left on the schedule, which is the rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals’ bitter rivals need a win to get into the postseason next Sunday, but even with the possibility of knocking them out of the playoffs, should we even want the Bengals to emerge victorious? After all, this team needs high picks in next year’s draft to supplement the roster. Meanwhile, another old rivalry has been rekindled thanks to the Browns’ improvement and sweeping of Cincinnati this season. Baker Mayfield’s brash behavior has become national headlines, particularly in his goading of assistant coach Hue Jackson. What do we make of the newest enemy?And, with the new year approaching http://www.cincinnatibengalsteamonline.com/germaine-pratt-jersey , goals and resolutions are being made.

Can a tiger change his stripes? We’ll find out in the next year or so."At the annual NFL league meetings 2019 Taylor Rapp Los Angeles Rams , Los Angeles Rams Head Coach shared the idea that the Rams absolutely want to sign CB Marcus Peters to a long-term extension, per Lindsey Thiry:Peters was originally acquired by the Rams in the 2018 offseason by way of a trade which sent the Rams’ 2019 second-round pick and 2018 fourth-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for the mercurial cornerback. His first season with the Rams was a roller coaster as a calf injury sustained in week three against the Los Angeles Chargers hampered him for a while, making him one of the least effective corners in the league up until about week 10, per Pro Football Focus. The return of CB Aqib Talib sparked a change in Peters’ play though, and he went on to finish the second half of 2018 with a strong showing. Part of that can be attributed to playing more off coverage both in zone and man, and not needing to shadow receivers, instead living at his spot at right cornerback.Peters is currently on a fifth-year option that’ll cost the Rams just under $9.1m this year. Peters is slated to be a free agent in 2020 Taylor Rapp Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , though according to Sean McVay, the Rams have interest in extending Peters for the foreseeable future. Looking at the cornerback market, it’s fair to assume Peters will demand top dollar, looking to likely top former Rams’ CB Trumaine Johnson’s five-year $72.5m with $45m guaranteed contract from the New York Jets.Where things become interesting is that the Rams simply have been reluctant to prioritize the secondary in terms of long-term extensions. It dates back to the days of CB’s Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson, and safeties Rodney McLeod, Lamarcus Joyner Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , T.J. McDonald, and Maurice Alexander, all of which weren’t handed long-term contracts and walked away to different franchises. General Manager Les Snead even called retaining the secondary “Priority A” many years ago, though things never materialized.Peters remains a highly talented player who is emotional and not a cookie-cutter personality, but does that mean he’s not worthy of a long-term extension? Who knows. The important factor is the Rams have another 16 games (potentially more) to evaluate how Peters fits into Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips’ defense.

It’s an interesting foursome that will help the Rams tune up their roster in an attempt to rebound from their loss in Super Bowl LIII with an appearance in Super Bowl LIV.Here’s what we’re looking at.Week 1 - @ Oakland RaidersThe Rams head north to kick off the Raiders’ final season in Oakland. It’s the second year for Head Coach Jon Gruden but just the first with Mike Mayock in the GM armchair.The latter of the two is sure to play a huge part in guiding the Raiders through the 2019 NFL Draft where they have four of the top 35 selections. We’ll have to see how much Gruden decides to let his new draft stars play.As for the Rams, it’s our first look at the new 2019 roster depth. It’s fair to assume Head Coach Sean McVay will take a similar approach to the preseason as he did last year in sitting his core starters. He did play EDGE Samson Ebukam and RG Jamon Brown who was expected to return to a starting role after a two-game suspension though RG Austin Blythe’s performances negated that return. So perhaps we’ll see some of the less-experienced starters and guys with less hold on their starting jobs play early on.For the most part though, it will be the back two-thirds of the 90-man roster in action.Week 2 - v.* Dallas Cowboys* - Game to be played in Honolulu, HIAh, yes. The Rams and the Cowboys. Tied together at the hip since 2015.We know Rams Owner Stan Kroenke has long turned his eye across the Pacific toward Asia. He mentioned as much in the 2016 offseason:Well...we’re halfway there!Validation game here to see how the back of the roster performs compared to the first game. I also wonder how much run the Cowboys’ starters get. Could be very interesting to see Rams backup QB Blake Bortles going against the Cowboys’ starting defense. And Tavon Austin!Week 3 - v. Denver BroncosThe final preseason game in the Coliseum. Next year, we’ll be in our new home stadium in Inglewood. So history being made...albeit kinda boring history. But history!This one’s the last functional preseason game as the fourth will be for the deepest section of the roster.So if there are key 53-man roster decisions, this game is the one that would have the most impact though much of that is down to practices and training camp and the offseason program and not preseason gameplay.With the Broncos now being led by veteran QB Joe Flacco with a potential rookie QB coming into the fold Taylor Rapp Jersey Mens , this one has some intrigue. Plus, it’s a chance for Rams Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips and CB Aqib Talib to link up with some former colleagues.Week 4 - @ Houston TexansStrange one, but fitting to close out the preseason. Last year’s preseason finale offensive snap count leaders? WR Fred Brown, OL Jamil Demby, OT Cornelius Lucas and OL Aaron Neary.Get your roster nerd on.What game are you looking forward to most? Any matchups you’re interested in? Which guys that barely made the 53-man roster in 2016 are looking at big matchups in these games?
The Seahawks and Chiefs agreed to the trade sending defensive end Frank Clark to Kansas City on Tuesday Womens Kendall Fuller Jersey , but the paperwork associated with Clark’s new deal and the need for him to pass a physical left an official announcement off the table until Thursday.The Chiefs made that announcement a few hours ahead of the start of the first round of the draft. That round will open with the Seahawks in possession of two picks as they acquired the No. 29 pick from Kansas City along with a 2020 second-round selection. The two teams also swapped third-round picks in this year’s draft.After agreeing to the trade, the Chiefs agreed to a new five-year deal with Clark.“We’re happy to add Frank to our team,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said in a statement. “Competing against him and watching his film, you can see how physical and impressive he is in both the run and the pass game. He’s young and has consistently played at a high level since he entered the league. Congrats to Brett and his team Anthony Hitchens Jersey , as well as Frank’s representatives on getting this deal done.”The Chiefs’ top pick is now No. 61 overall. They also have the No. 63 pick while the Seahawks are set to pick 21st in the first round in addition to the pick they acquired from Kansas City. Could the AFC Championship Game be a passing of the torch from the NFL’s greatest quarterback, Tom Brady, to its next great quarterback, Patrick Mahomes? That’s not how Mahomes sees it.Asked about that possibility this week http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-chad-henne-jersey , Mahomes pushed back against that narrative, saying that he has a long way to go before he’s on Brady’s level — and that Brady has a lot more to doo before he passes the torch to anyone.“I’ve seen it but there’s still a long way to go,” Mahomes said. “I’m a young guy. He’s done so much in this league and he’s still doing it today. He’s going to play for some more years to come. I’m going to strive to do some of the things he’s done, the Super Bowls he’s won. That’s the ultimate goal. He’s not trying to pass the torch any time soon. He’s playing at a high level this year and I expect him to keep playing at this level for at least another couple years.”That’s the right answer. Mahomes had an all-time great first season as a starter Womens Sammy Watkins Jersey , but it was just one season. He knows he’s going to have to keep producing at this level for many years before he’s in the same company as Brady.

That’s about $12.65 million less than in 2018.The data from the Nevada Gaming Control Board show sportsbooks made a profit of almost $10.79 million on the action. That’s about nine times what they won last year.The game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams was the first Super Bowl in which Nevada faced competition from sportsbooks outside the state.Sportsbooks have opened in seven other states since the U.S. Supreme Court issued a relevant ruling last spring.Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports book operations at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook White Julian Edelman Jerseys , says the sportsbook had a “solid day.” It lost on the game itself but did well on proposition and future bets.
ALAMEDA Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders agreed on a deal Saturday night to acquire prolific but disgruntled receiver Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers and will give him the lucrative new contract he wanted.A person with direct knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press that the Raiders finalized the deal with the Steelers and will give Brown a new three-year contract worth $50.125 million instead of the $38.925 million he was owed by Pittsburgh. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal can’t be completed until the new league year starts Wednesday.Pro Football Talk first reported the deal and says Pittsburgh will get third and fifth-round draft picks from Oakland.The trade makes final what became a very messy and very public divorce between Brown and the team that helped turn the sixth-round pick into arguably the greatest wide receiver of his generation.It also gives the Raiders a high-profile addition for second-year coach Jon Gruden after trading away two of the team’s biggest stars last year in edge rusher Khalil Mack and receiver Amari Cooper.Oakland got extra first-round picks in those trades but didn’t need to give up any of its four picks in the top 35 in the upcoming draft to acquire Brown, who has topped 100 receptions and 1,200 yards receiving in each of the past six seasons. The Raiders have had only one player reach those marks in a single season in franchise history, with Hall of Famer Tim Brown accomplishing the feat in 1997.Brown now gives quarterback Derek Carr his biggest offensive weapon since entering the league in 2014 and the Raiders a legitimate star before they move to Las Vegas for the 2020 season.The Raiders’ top wide receiver last season was Jordy Nelson, who had just 63 catches for 739 yards.Gruden has always admired Brown from his time as a broadcaster and had nothing but praise for the receiver before the teams played last December.“He’s the hardest working man, I think, in football,” Gruden said. “Hardest working player I’ve ever seen practice. I’ve seen Jerry Rice Bo Jackson Jersey , I’ve seen a lot of good ones, but I put Antonio Brown at the top. If there are any young wideouts out there, I’d go watch him practice. You figure out yourself why he’s such a good player.”Brown was obviously pleased with the development, posting a picture of himself in a Raiders uniform and a video with Carr at a Pro Bowl with the caption “Love at first sight ” on his Twitter account.Brown is no stranger to drawing headlines for both his prolific on-field production and his off-the-field antics, including livestreaming from the locker room after a playoff win over Kansas City in January 2017 and getting pulled over for doing 100 mph in the northern Pittsburgh suburbs last fall.The sometimes tumultuous relationship between the only player in NFL history with six straight 100-catch seasons and the franchise that made him the highest-paid player at his position in the spring of 2017 reached a breaking point in late December.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin benched Brown during the regular-season finale against Cincinnati after the wide receiver went radio silent in the final 48 hours before the game. Brown arrived in a fur coat, hung out for a half and then disappeared from view until well after his teammates had cleaned out their lockers following a 9-6-1 finish that left Pittsburgh on the outside of the playoffs for the first time since 2013.When Brown did resurface, he began engaging in a series of increasingly antagonistic acts designed to expedite his departure. He went on Instagram with former Steelers linebacker James Harrison during Tomlin’s season wrap-up press conference. He decried quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s “owner’s mentality” and chastised Tomlin for disciplining him in Week 17, no matter that Tomlin and the rest of the organization had spent years downplaying Brown’s off-the-field eccentricities.Brown officially requested a trade last month https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , but not before photo-shopping his familiar No. 84 onto a San Francisco 49ers jersey or using his hyperactive social media feeds to indicate not only his displeasure with the Steelers but also his interest in signing a new deal with whomever should acquire his services.Even with his benching in the finale, Brown caught 104 passes for 1,297 yards and a franchise-record and NFL-high 15 touchdowns. His last performance in a Pittsburgh uniform might have been one of his best, a 14-reception, 185-yard, two-touchdown masterpiece in a road loss to New Orleans.A week later, the player who once said he wanted to retire a Steeler didn’t even suit up against the Bengals. Just over two months later, he now finds himself heading to the second act of a career that’s on a Hall of Fame trajectory and the Steelers have a hole at receiver and more than $21 million in dead money on their salary cap. Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock held one of the shortest press conferences in memory on Thursday.After word broke of an altercation between Mayock and wide receiver Antonio Brown during Wednesday’s practice that led to plans to suspend the wideout Womens Derek Carr Jersey , Mayock met with reporters from the Raiders facility to give a very brief update.“Short and sweet, Antonio Brown is not in the building today,” Mayock said. “He won’t be practicing. I don’t have any more information for you right now. When I have some and it becomes appropriate, you guys will all get it but that’s it for today.”Head coach Jon Gruden is scheduled to meet with the media later on Thursday, although Mayock’s comments suggest the team may not be making any announcement about discipline. Any answers he gives about the situation would be interesting given his place in the team’s hierarchy and the potential need for him to choose a side between the wideout and the G.M.As reported on , a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team would void the $29 million-plus in guaranteed money remaining on Brown’s contract.Brown reportedly threatened to punch Mayock in the face during a dispute over Brown’s decision to post on social media about the team fining him for missing a practice and a walkthrough last month.
The Texans added another running back to the mix this week and their choice suits Lamar Miller just fine.Houston’s No. 1 back finished up his time at the University of Miami a year before Duke Johnson arrived to take over many of his duties in the backfield D.J. Reader Jersey , which is part of the reason why he thinks they will make a winning combination for the Texans this season.“It’s good,” Miller said, via the . “I spoke to him this morning. He’s excited. I’m excited to have him on the same team. He’s a very talented player. He catches the ball out of the backfield pretty good. He can run the ball as well. Just to have him is really cool.”Miller’s 25 catches last season were his fewest since the 2013 campaign and that number may not go up with Johnson available to do passing down work during the 2019 season. It sounds like that wouldn’t be a problem for Miller as the 2019 season unfolds. Kareem Jackson‘s preference would have been to stay in Houston. It’s the place he’s called home for nine years, since the Texans made him a first-round choice in 2010 Christian Covington Jersey , and the place he’ll continue to make his offseason home.But the Texans didn’t make an offer, Jackson said, so he is headed to Denver.“They didn’t even approach me with an offer or any type of deal,” Jackson said Andre Hal Jersey , via Mark Berman of KRIV. “Obviously, they didn’t want me back or whatever the case may be. I’m not really sure. My agent was never approached by anybody from the Texans organization, so I wasn’t offered a deal of any sort. I kind of feel a little disrespected to be honest about it. At the end of the day, no hard feelings. I had a great nine years here. This will always be home for me. I definitely appreciate all the memories and all the opportunities. I appreciate the fans and everything I was able to build here. I’ll always have love for Houston.”Jackson agreed to a three-year deal worth $33 million with the Broncos. He gets $23 million guaranteed.He made $48.9 million in his career in Houston Greg Mancz Jersey , according to overthecap.com.“I’m not emotional,” Jackson said. “I know how the business goes. All good things sometimes come to an end. At the end of the day, it’s another opportunity for me. They’ve got a great group of guys there. I’m eager to get there and do whatever I can to help them win.”
The Lions are adding some depth along the offensive line."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions NotesDetroit Lions AnalysisDetroit Lions TransactionsDetroit Lions Game RecapsBreaking NewsIntroducing the 2019 Detroit Lions Draft Class! 脳NFL Free AgencyDetroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions Free AgencyReport: Detroit Lions signing G Oday AboushiNew Michael Roberts Jersey ,167commentsThe Lions are adding some depth along the offensive line. EDTShareTweetShareShareReport: Detroit Lions signing G Oday AboushiMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe Detroit Lions continued to check off boxes of needs in free agency on Tuesday night. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Lions will be signing free agent guard Oday Aboushi: Aboushi is a six-year veteran (27 years old) who has played on four different teams previously. Most notably, he played one season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2017, under offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who, of course Taylor Decker Jersey , is now the Lions’ offensive coordinator. That year, Aboushi started eight games at right guard, coming in as a replacement for the benched Mark Glowinski. He couldn’t finish out the year, however, as he dislocated his shoulder in Week 11. Since then, he joined the Cardinals in the middle of the 2018 season and started six of the final eight games of the season for Arizona. He played well enough for the Cardinals to be interested in re-signing him A’Shawn Robinson Jersey , and he was also named PFF’s Secret Superstar of the team:It’s unclear what this means for the Lions roster going forward. Aboushi is probably best served as a backup right guard, but after the Lions released T.J. Lang, they don’t have a starter for him to back up. If the Lions don’t end up adding another free agent or spending a high draft pick on the position, Aboushi and Kenny Wiggins could battle out for the starting job. However, if the Lions do add another guard—or decide to try Tyrell Crosby as the starting right guard—this signing could put Wiggins’ job in jeopardy. The Lions could save an additional $3.125 million by releasing Wiggins. The Lions have doubled up on tight ends with a late-round pick."With the 224th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have selected Georgia tight end Isaac Nauta. This is their first seventh round pick. Nauta played three seasons for the Bulldogs Graham Glasgow Jersey , tallying up 38 receptions for 905 yards and eight touchdowns in 33 games played. He set career highs almost across the board in 2018 catching 30 passes for 430 yards and three touchdowns.The tight end was a five star recruit coming out of Florida’s IMG Academy, and chose to return to the state of his birth for college when he committed to Georgia. He is the second tight end selected by the Lions in the 2019 draft, behind first round pick T.J. Hockenson.
