Following the 2009 season, it was held in Miami, Florida at then Sun Life Stadium a week prior to the Super Bowl, which was also head at Sun Life Stadium. It returned to Aloha Stadium for the 2010 through 2013 seasons before one year at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Following the 2015 season it again returned to Aloha Stadium before a three-year stint over the last three seasons at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Miami Dolphins, in the refurbished and renamed Hard Rock Stadium, are scheduled to host Super Bowl LIV in February and they are looking to snag the all-star event as well.The stadium has hosted both the Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl before, so there is reason to believe the grounds crew can have the field ready for the Super Bowl a week later. The Hard Rock Stadium staff has proven they are capable of turning the field from a University of Miami game on Saturday and having it ready for the Dolphins on Sunday Josh Sitton Jersey , so it seems like the Pro Bowl in Miami could be an real option. And, given this is the 100th season celebration for the NFL, they could look to kick off Super Bowl week in Miami with the Pro Bowl, essentially turning the celebration into a two week event in South Florida.Could the Pro Bowl end up in Miami?

Just shy of a month later, Jeremiah is back with this 2019 NFL Mock Draft 2.0, updating his projection following the NFL Scouting Combine. Not only does Jeremiah see Miami looking elsewhere with their first pick, he does not even have Jones in the first round anymore.Jeremiah starts where most people assume this year’s Draft will start Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , with Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray being the first-overall selection, heading to the Arizona Cardinals. He adds that the Cardinals will trade last year’s first-round pick, Josh Rosen, with the Washington Redskins a possible landing spot, but nothing firm on where the 2018 tenth-pick lands. That move then frees up Ohio State edge rusher Nick Bosa, someone who had been the near-unanimous first-pick in mock drafts prior to the Combine, to go second-overall to the San Francisco 49ers. The New York Jets add Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams third, then the Oakland Raiders select Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen fourth. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers use the fifth pick on Mississippi State edge rusher Montez Sweat, with the New York Giants then using the sixth pick on Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins. No other quarterback comes off the board before the Dolphins make the 13th-overall selection, but Jeremiah does not see them looking for their next franchise quarterback here. Instead, they target one of the consistently weak areas of the team over the past several years, looking to upgrade the interior of the offensive line. With the 13th pick, Jeremiah projects the Dolphins to add Alabama guard Jonah Williams.Of the pick Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , Jeremiah writes, “The Dolphins need to address the offensive line. I believe Williams will quickly emerge as a top interior lineman.”It is not a bad move for Miami, who have to solve this offensive line issue. Health and poor play have just crushed this team’s pass protection and run blocking over the past...decade? It seems like the offensive line is constantly a question mark, and adding a top interior offensive lineman could be a huge step in changing that.Of course, it is not a sexy pick, and it is a high pick on an offensive guard. He has the potential to play outside at tackle, where he feels he would best play at the NFL level, if needed by the Dolphins, but he likely settles into a guard spot and begins to shore up the line. Would it be a pick to excite the fan base? No. But it could be the first step in rebuilding the foundation of the franchise.How would you feel about a selection of Williams?
It’s often said that the NFL is a copycat league and there are plenty of teams that would like to copy the success that the Rams have had over the last two seasons http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-marshall-faulk-jersey , so it’s no surprise that some of the teams in need of a new head coach this offseason are taking a look at Rams assistants.There was word on Monday that the Cardinals have requested an interview with quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor and Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed that later in the day.McVay also said, via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, that the Bengals have requested interviews with Taylor and passing game coordinator Shane Waldron. Both men would be available to interview this week as the Rams have a bye into the next round of the playoffs.Waldron is in his first year in his current position and coached the team’s tight ends last year. He came to L.A. from Washington with McVay while Taylor has spent time with the Dolphins and the University of Cincinnati.Betting odds for NFL’s Week 2 have the Los Angeles Rams favored by nearly two touchdowns The Arizona Cardinals (0-1) will look to the even out their win-loss columns this Sunday when they head west to take on the Los Angeles Rams (1-0) at the LA Memorial Coliseum.

TEMPE http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-montana-jersey , Ariz. — When the season started for the Arizona Cardinals, Sam Bradford was the quarterback and Mike McCoy was offensive coordinator.Now both are gone.On Saturday, while the team was enjoying a long weekend off, the Cardinals released Bradford, who lost his starting job after three games to rookie Josh Rosen and had been inactive for the last five. Bradford’s departure came a little less than two weeks after McCoy was fired and replaced by quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich.Coach Steve Wilks said Monday that in releasing Bradford “we did what we thought was best for the team. We needed that position to be able to add quality depth at different positions.”The Cardinals made several roster moves during their bye week. Last week, they signed tight end John Phillips and offensive lineman Colby Gossett. Gossett was signed off the Minnesota practice squad. On Monday, Arizona signed offensive lineman Zack Golditch from the Indianapolis practice squad. The team also re-signed wide receiver Kendall Wright, who had a 10-day stint with the team in October.Arizona was looking to add depth on the offensive line even though all five starters might be healthy enough to play Sunday at Kansas City. John Wetzel, a backup at both tackle and guard, was placed on injured reserve Saturday with a neck injury.Right guard Justin Pugh said he is hoping his broken hand will be healed enough for him to play Sunday, which would be four weeks from the day he injured it.The Cardinals (2-6) are coming off a come-from-behind win over San Francisco but face a much more daunting challenge against the Chiefs (8-1) Womens Larry Johnson Jersey , who opened as 15-point favorites with the advantage moving to 16 points on Monday.“Dynamic in every area,” Wilks said of the Chiefs, “particularly on the offensive side of the ball. (Patrick) Mahomes is playing outstanding, an MVP-caliber player right now, and all the weapons around him. Again, it’s just about trying to eliminate the big plays, and that’s what they’re known for thus far this year is just creating big plays over the top. We’ve got to try to eliminate that.”It’s the first of several difficult road challenges for Arizona in the second half of the season. The Cardinals also play at Atlanta, Green Bay and the Los Angeles Chargers.Arizona’s practice Monday was its first since last Tuesday. A workout had been scheduled for last Wednesday but Wilks cancelled it.“A lot of injuries, I wanted to be able to give the guys an opportunity to recover,” he said.Despite the long weekend, Arizona got an extra day of practice this week. Players have Tuesday off before returning to their regular Wednesday-Thursday-Friday practice schedule.It gives Leftwich a little extra time to work on the offense Len Dawson Jersey , which slogged through three quarters before Rosen threw two TD passes in the fourth-quarter in the 18-15 win over San Francisco.“I think it was very beneficial,” Wilks said. “I’m out there, and I’m watching the flow of practice. I’m seeing it in action with Josh and the things that they’re doing. Not really to indulge a lot in the game plan, but you can see Byron trying to evolve and move this offense in another direction. I think the bye week was very beneficial to him, as well as to the offense.”Rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk said Leftwich brings “a lot of new energy.”“He’s such a smart mind and he’s just really good at putting his guys in the right position,” Kirk said. ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Tyreek Hill was contrite but repentant in his first comments since he was banished from the Kansas City Chiefs following an audio recording in which his then-fiance accused him of hurting their son.The star wide receiver declined Sunday to discuss the specifics of his case, which wound to a conclusion late last week when the NFL declined to punish him for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. But he did apologize for the precarious situation he left the Chiefs in this past offseason.“I’ve learned to just appreciate those around me,” Hill said after the Chiefs’ second workout of training camp at Missouri Western. “I feel like I take that for granted sometimes, being a professional athlete. I tend to not stay humble, you know what I’m saying? I still love my kids and I still love my family http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-allen-jersey , but I feel like sometimes I take all of those things for granted.”The Chiefs were poised to make their first selection in the NFL draft when the graphic, secretly taped audio of Hill and Crystal Espinal aired on a local TV station. The Chiefs quickly suspended the two-time All-Pro from all team-related activities and, uncertain of Hill’s future with the organization, used a second-round pick on speedy wide receiver Mecole Hardman.Hill remained barred from the team during voluntary summer workouts and the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp, even after the local district attorney decided there was not enough evidence to pursue charges.The NFL was still weighing whether to punish Hill under terms of its personal conduct policy when it sent investigators to Kansas City late last month. During an eight-hour session, Hill supplied the league with his side of the story, laying out the facts from his point of view.“(Commissioner) Roger Goodell and his team did their thing. They dug in, got all the facts, and I’m very appreciative of those guys as well,” Hill said. “The meeting was long. It was probably the longest meeting of my life. It was crazy. What I was trying to get across was just the facts, man.”The NFL ultimately decided late last week that it would not punish Hill Womens Orlando Scandrick Jersey , and the Chiefs immediately announced that his team-issued suspension was lifted and he would be reporting to training camp.He was not available to reporters during check-in day Friday, nor did Hill speak following the Chiefs’ first practice Saturday. But he was carried to the practice field by a chorus of fans chanting “Tyreek! Tyreek!” in what could only be described as a groundswell of support.It was a 180-degree turn from the sentiments most fans had just a few months ago.“The love feels good, to come back out here and get a chance,” Hill said. “I’m on a new journey as far as me growing as a father and as a human.”There is still an ongoing investigation by the Kansas Department for Children and Families, and Hill said he could not discuss that case. Nor would he discuss the specifics of a recent sit-down that he had with Clark Hunt, the Chiefs’ chairman and the most visible face of the ownership family.Hill did acknowledge learning a lesson he hoped to pass on to younger players.“You can look at me and tell I’ve been through a lot,” he said, “even when I first came into the league. I had a bad history. Just be thankful for the ones around you, stay humble and grounded, love your parents and your kids — if you have kids — and just work hard.”Hill caught 12 touchdown passes and set a franchise record with 1,479 yards receiving last season Reggie Ragland Jersey , earning his third Pro Bowl trip in as many seasons. It’s a big reason why the Chiefs were interested in signing him to a long-term deal as he entered the final year of his rookie contract.Where those talks now stand remains in question.“It was good having him back out there,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said Sunday. “He is an intelligent kid. He picked up right where he left off. “He’s doing a heck of a job.”NOTES: DT Chris Jones insisted he always planned to report to camp, even after missing the entire offseason while angling for a new contract. He is also entering the final year of his rookie deal. “I’d love to spend the rest of my career here,” Jones said, “but I’m focused on learning the new defense, the new scheme.” … FS Jordan Lucas and RB Damien Williams left practice early with hamstring injuries.

Second-round cornerback Joejuan Williams was the first reported signing, followed by offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste (round three), quarterback Jarrett Stidham (round four) and defensive lineman or New England’s practice squad.With the three men now officially in the fold, only three Patriots draft picks remain unsigned: first-rounder N’Keal Harry as well as third-rounders Chase Winovich and Damien Harris have yet to sign deals with the team. Given the speed with which the other players have agreed to their contracts, however Youth Drew Bledsoe Jerseys , the process should not take too long. The NFL didn’t do much last week to investigate the sexual assault and rape allegations against Patriots receiver Antonio Brown. On Monday, the league will do plenty.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that NFL investigators will meet with Britney Taylor on Monday. Last Tuesday, she sued Brown in Florida civil court, claiming that Brown had engaged in three incidents of misconduct that, if true, violate the league’s Personal Conduct Policy.The league office floated last week to the the notion that Commissioner Roger Goodell would seriously consider his power to place Brown on paid leave pending the completion of the investigative and disciplinary process. Without at least talking to the accuser Drew Bledsoe Jerseys Stitched , however, it becomes difficult if not impossible to reach a conclusion as to whether paid leave is justified, even under the very relaxed standard that allows placement on the Commissioner-Exempt list if the Commissioner believes that the player simply “may have violated” the policy.Another person could be interviewed this week. Rapoport reports that the “known football player” (as that term is used in the lawsuit) who was with Taylor and Brown on the night of the alleged rape is currently a rookie in the NFL, which allows the league to compel him to cooperate in any NFL-initiated investigation. (Brown’s cousin, Marquise, currently is a rookie with the Baltimore Ravens; neither the lawsuit nor Rapoport mention him as the unnamed other player.)Brown is clear to play on Sunday Youth Kevin Faulk Jerseys , and he has traveled with the team to Miami for the Week Two game against the Dolphins. As soon as Week Three, however, there’s a chance he will be getting paid, but not playing.
COSTA MESA Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Chargers had struggled with their pass rush and keeping opponents out of the end zone in their first four games.But Los Angeles is hoping that Sunday’s 26-10 victory over Oakland signals a change for the rest of the season.The Chargers sacked the Raiders’ Derek Carr three times and allowed only one touchdown. They had allowed the fifth-most points in the league and were ranked in the bottom half of the league in sacks and quarterback pressures after the first quarter of the season.“A game like that should give them a lot of confidence. Our defense is getting better,” coach Anthony Lynn said Monday.The Chargers (3-2) have not been at full strength defensively all season, but they are starting to get some valuable players back. Defensive tackle Corey Liuget returned from his four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancers, which helped free up the number of times that Melvin Ingram was double-teamed.Ingram, who struggled during the first three games, has played better in the past two. Ingram tied for the team lead in tackles with seven along with a sack and his first regular-season interception.Philip Rivers and the offense converted both Raiders’ turnovers into touchdowns.“If we can create turnovers and get our offense the ball, we got one of the most high-powered offenses in this league, so we are trying to get them the ball every time we can,” Ingram said.Another reason for the Chargers’ success against the Raiders was that they were stingy on third down. They came into the Oakland game allowing the fourth-highest conversion rate on third down (46.8 percent), but the Raiders converted just one of six during the first half and four of 11 for the game.One area where the Chargers have done well the first five weeks is stopping the run. Oakland’s Marshawn Lynch came into the game fourth in the league in rushing, but was held to 31 yards on nine carries.Los Angeles has allowed only 100-yard rusher all season (the Rams’ Todd Gurley) despite also facing Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, Buffalo’s LeSean McCoy and San Francisco’s Matt Breida. Six running backs went over the century mark against the Chargers last season, including Hunt twice.They will face a big challenge this week against Cleveland (2-2-1), which is No. 2 in the league in rushing offense with Carlos Hyde, Nick Chubb and mobile quarterback Baker Mayfield.Lynn said that defensive end Joey Bosa, who has missed all five games because of a foot injury, could practice this week in a limited capacity. Even if Bosa isn’t back until after the Oct. 28 bye week, Lynn is seeing his unit make more progress in making plays without Bosa.“We’re starting to get more comfortable with the different schemes we are doing,” Lynn said. “We are doing some different things with coverages and also bringing different people on blitzes.”NOTES: Lynn said that Caleb Sturgis will be the kicker against the Browns despite missing his fourth extra point on Sunday. Sturgis is likely to remain the kicker for at least two more games, but needs to gain consistency if he is going to keep his job. … Right tackle Joe Barksdale could return to practice this week but will be limited. Barksdale has missed the past four games after suffering a knee injury in the Sept. 9 opener against Kansas City. It’s not very often a trade featuring a Pro Bowl caliber talent can be seen as a win for everyone involved, but that may just be what happened Monday. The Dallas Cowboys traded a 1st round pick to the Oakland Raiders for 24-year-old wide receiver Amari Cooper and there appears to be no consensus of the clear victor of the trade. Could that mean it’s a win for everyone? Hear this out…Case for the CowboysThe Cowboys rank 29th in the NFL in pass yards per game (183) and are tied for 25th with only eight passing touchdowns. Their leading receiver Antonio Brown Jersey White , Cole Beasley, has just 350 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Beasley’s career-high for TDs in a season is five (twice– 2015 & 2016). Contrastingly, their rush attack is ranked 3rd in the league in YPG (136.9) led by one of the most talented backs in the game, Ezekiel Elliott, and one of the league’s best offensive lines. They needed help in the receiving corp and in Cooper they are getting just that. Although his numbers have decreased in his fourth season, Cooper remains an explosive target on every snap. During his first three years– the first two of which Cooper was selected to the Pro Bowl– Cooper’s lowest TD total was five and last season he had a career-high seven. This year, Cooper has only one TD and 280 yards, but he’s also on pace to finish well-below his career mark for targets (he finished with 130+ his first two seasons and just 96 last season. Currently, he’s on pace for only 85 this season). Seeing the talent still remaining in the tank, Colin Cowherd and Skip Bayless are thrilled with ‘America’s team’ going out on a limb to drop a prospective first-rounder for a tangible option.Case for the RaidersJon Gruden refuses to admit Oakland is tanking, but in essence, they have every reason not to want to win right now. After dealing both of their once top dogs **cough, cough Khalil Mack**, the Black Hole now controls three first round picks in this year’s draft and no lingering contracts that are going to require massive paydays during the offseason. As evident through the numbers, Cooper was not fitting into the new offensive scheme Gruden has established and picking up a first rounder after initial bidding started with a fourth rounder is a steal. As Nick Wright points out, sometimes the best way to improve in pro sports is ripping the foundation apart and starting from scratch. As the franchise prepares to quite literally rip apart its foundation and move to Las Vegas, doing the same thing with the roster seems like the plausible next move.Case for Amari CooperThe former 4th-overall pick is clearly in need for a career-rejuvenating move and where better to do it than Jerry World? Elliott’s presence in the run game alleviates the attention Cooper would garner outside in a way he’s never had before and having the opportunity to regain the notion of the top receiver in the corp could go a long way in terms of confidence. He has shown his ability to still be a reliable target (boasting a 70.97 catch percentage compared to last year’s 50), but he has not been given the same chances. If he stays healthy, this change of scenery could be just what he needs to return to Pro Bowl status and get the fans trading in their old No. 88 jerseys for No. 89 in Dallas.So who won and who lost the trade? You’ll have to wait a couple seasons to find out. In the meantime, better start counting how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Josh Rosen can now start following the Dolphins on Twitter and Instagram.The Cardinals have traded Rosen Jason Taylor Jersey , the 10th overall pick in the 2018 draft, to the Dolphins. Arizona gets the 62nd pick in round two, which Miami acquired from the Saints after trading down from No. 48.As explained earlier today, the trade didn’t happen until the pick obtained by the Cardinals was on the clock, to eliminate the chances of the Cardinals being leapfrogged before using the pick obtained from the Dolphins.With that 62nd pick Nat Moore Jersey , the Cardinals took Massachusetts receiver Andy Isabella.The Cardinals also receive Miami’s 2020 fifth-round pick.To summarize, then, the Cardinals gave up their 2018 first-round pick, 2018 third-round pick, and 2018 fifth-round pick for one year with Josh Rosen Mark Duper Jersey , Andy Isabella, and a fifth-round pick next year. They also paid Rosen more than $11 million, transferring to Miami a contract that pays out only $6.2 million over the next three years. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill is throwing the ball 50 yards in side sessions, and the Miami Dolphins would love to see those passes in a game.Maybe this week.Tannehill made progress during the team’s bye week in his rehabilitation from a throwing shoulder injury Mark Clayton Jersey , and remains on schedule to meet his goal of returning Sunday at Indianapolis.There are significant hurdles yet to be cleared. Coach Adam Gase said Monday he didn’t even know whether Tannehill will participate fully in practice this week, but sounded upbeat about his quarterback’s recent progress.“I feel like it is forever since I’ve seen him throw,” Gase said. “To me he looks like what he once looked like.”Brock Osweiler has gone 2-3 starting for Tannehill. The injury-plagued Dolphins are 5-5 and tied for sixth place in the AFC with the Colts and three other teams.The Dolphins’ eagerness to get Tannehill back in the lineup is magnified because their offense has gone nine quarters without a touchdown. Osweiler’s most recent scoring pass came four games ago.Tannehill has said he’s resigned to throwing with pain the rest of the year because of an injury to his shoulder capsule in Week 5. He’s now targeting receivers on the move, but his shoulder stamina remains a concern and needs to be tested by the intensity of practice, Gase said.“He can throw it down the field now Adam Joseph Duhe Jersey ,” Gase said. “It looks good. It’s just all about how many times.”Gase is wary of a setback and said he wants to decide soon on a starter for Sunday.“I’m running out of time,” he said. “We can’t be wrong and start the week one way, and then flip when we get to Friday.”Miami’s first practice of the week — and first since Nov. 9 — will be Tuesday.While Tannehill’s progress was encouraging, the Dolphins took another hit on the health front when they decided to place receiver-returner Jakeem Grant on injured reserve with a lower leg injury that required surgery. Grant ranks second in the NFL in both kickoff returns and punt returns.He was hurt in the loss at Green Bay a week ago, and initially the team hoped he might return this year. Miami lost another dynamic receiver Larry Csonka Jersey , Albert Wilson, to a season-ending hip injury in Week 7.Receiver DeVante Parker might return this week from a shoulder injury, Gase said. He said the status this week of starting offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Ja’Wuan James (knee) was uncertain. Cornerback Bobby McCain remained in the concussion protocol.The AFC race tightened Sunday with the Dolphins idle. They have a chance to make the playoffs for only the third time in the past 17 seasons even though they’ve been outgained by 787 yards and outscored by 57 points.“It’s who can have the best six-game season,” Gase said. “To give ourselves a chance in December to create our own destiny — that’s what we wanted when we started this thing.”

THOUSAND OAKS Nicholas Scott Jersey nfl draft , Calif. (AP) — It will be a busy bye week for the Los Angeles Rams on and off the field as they prepare for a NFC divisional playoff game at home on Jan. 12.Cincinnati and Arizona have made formal requests to interview quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor for their vacant head coaching positions, while the Bengals would also like to speak with passing game coordinator Shane Waldron, coach Sean McVay said Monday.Taylor and Waldron will be available for interviews in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday when Rams players have those days off.Taylor, 35, is in his first season as the Rams quarterbacks coach. Waldron, 39, has coached the Rams tight ends for the past two seasons.“You’d hate to lose them, but man, I’d sure be so happy for them if that was an opportunity that they decided to pursue and it worked out for them and their families,” McVay said. “They’ve done a phenomenal job with us and I feel lucky to work with guys like that.”McVay said he would offer whatever assistance he could to help Taylor and Waldron prepare for those meeting, but the focus of the week will be self-scouting and preparing for any of their three possible opponents in Chicago, Dallas or Seattle.A win by the Bears over defending Super Bowl champions Philadelphia on Sunday would see Los Angeles host the Chicago the following weekend.The Rams have already faced the Bears and Seahawks in the regular season, winning both games against Seattle, 33-31 on the road on Oct. 7 and 36-31 at home on Nov. 11, and losing 15-6 at Chicago on Dec. 9.Offensive lineman Rodger Saffold said there would be advantages to facing an opponent the Rams are already familiar with and hinted he would relish the chance to see the Bears again.“Once again, things happen for a reason,” Saffold said. “You learn from them and continue going, so maybe some of those losses that we had were getting us ready for the game we have coming up in the divisional round. But at the end of the day Dante Fowler Jersey , we just have to take care of business no matter who it is.”When the Rams hold on-field workouts Wednesday and Thursday, the focus will be on the health of running back Todd Gurley and left tackle Andrew Whitworth. Gurley missed the final two games of the season because of inflammation in his knee, and Whitworth left the 48-32 win over San Francisco on Sunday in the second quarter because of a knee injury and did not return.Whitworth said he felt “great” and was pleased with how rookie Joe Noteboom played against the 49ers in his absence.“Anytime the young guys get a chance to get in there and get some snap, it’s good,” Whitworth said. “It’s good for the team, good for the future of the team.”Whitworth is expected to practice this week, but McVay did not know if Gurley would participate. Even if Gurley is limited this week as a precaution, McVay is confident the NFL leader with 21 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns this season would be available when the Rams try to win their first playoff game in Los Angeles since defeating the Cowboys 20-0 on Jan. 4, 1986.“I would be very, very surprised if he wasn’t going to be ready to go for the playoffs, but I think we’re going to be smart with whether he goes or not this week with those extra days,” McVay said.The open week is new for Whitworth, who will be playing in the postseason for the seventh time in his 13-year career. The Rams had their bye in Week 12, which has Whitworth placing a greater emphasis on making the improvements necessary to contend for a championship than recovering physically.“For us, as late as our bye was and the kind of way the season has worked out, I mean, we don’t really feel a need for necessarily a break as much as an opportunity to just fine-tune and really get ourselves clicking on all cylinders for the final stretch,” Whitworth said.NOTES: DB Blake Countess is in concussion protocol. Countess did not show any symptoms Monday after exiting in the first quarter against San Francisco on Sunday. . After taking two days off Replica Nicholas Scott Jersey , the Rams will go into their normal game week schedule when they reconvene on Sunday.

For all the controversial calls. For all the potential on the other sideline Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , two things remain constant.The Patriots have Bill Belichick, and they have Tom Brady.That’s why they’re heading to yet another Super Bowl.The one way to make sure Patrick Mahomes didn’t lead the Chiefs back again was to not let him have the chance, as the Patriots took the first possession of overtime and drove for a touchdown, with Rex Burkhead plowing in for the score and giving them a 37-31 win.The Patriots聽will face the Rams in Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta in two weeks, for a shot at a sixth title between the best coach and quarterback in the game.And that game will have to work to match this one.The lead changed hands five times in the fourth quarter, as a game that was slow to start reached a frantic pace late.The Patriots dominated the first half De’Anthony Thomas Jersey , pulling out to a 14-0 lead, and holding the high-powered Chiefs to 32 yards in the first 30 minutes. And that included a 42-yard pass to Tyreek Hill, which underscores the job the Patriots defense did.The Chiefs did what they have done so often this season, getting hot on offense. Mahomes finished with three touchdowns in the second half, doing everything he could.But for all the subplots we’ll talk about for the next few days (pick plays, Julian Edelman‘s thumbs Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , fourth down calls which didn’t work and then they did, the officiating, again), Brady stepped in to do what he has done so often.After a penalty wiped out an interception, Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for a 25-yard completion, and then Rex Burkhead scored from 4 yards out on the following play for the lead.It was an 84-second drive for what appeared to be a game-winning score. But that left 39 seconds for Mahomes Ron Parker Jersey , and he moved them quickly into position for a field goal and a chance for a coin flip.But Brady didn’t give him another one, leading a 13-play, 75-yard march for the winner.And a shot at even more history. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 47-year-old Englishwoman has seen the best and worst that Twitter would have to offer the American football player who shares her name.Dee Ford, of Kent, England Allen Bailey Jersey , told the Kansas City Star that her “phone was going off literally nonstop” due to angry tweets from Kansas City Chiefs fans who thought they were venting at linebacker Dee Ford following his critical late penalty in last weekend’s AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots. She says Ford “doesn’t deserve” the vitriol.The player isn’t on Twitter, but he was no stranger to the Englishwoman. Five years ago when the player was still at Auburn, someone in the school’s athletic department inadvertently tagged the woman in a congratulatory tweet after the player was named most valuable player of the senior bowl. Fans responded with their own positive tweets.She decided to learn about the game and was hooked. She has spoken to the Chiefs’ Dee Ford by phone and attended two games — an Auburn home game last fall and a Chiefs game in London in 2015.
Taking swift and severe action against Antonio Brown based only on a civil lawsuit would have created a horrible precedent. Not taking swift and severe action against Antonio Brown based on the most recent allegation of misconduct made against him would set an equally horrible precedent.Brown’s text messages to a woman who had made an unofficial allegation of misconduct against him were intended to deter her from making an official allegation of misconduct Color Rush Joejuan Williams Jersey , through intimidation and harassment. No employer should allow such behavior to go unpunished.In a normal workplace, allegations made by one employee against another employee will trigger a clear and unmistakable admonition to the accused: If you intimitidate, harass, or retaliate against the accuser in any way, you will be fired. In the NFL, the entire world is the workplace, thanks to the league’s decision to impose a Personal Conduct Policy that applies in the stadium, out of the stadium Youth Joejuan Williams Jersey , in the season, out of the season, in the country, out of the country.So with an accuser making unofficial allegations against Brown regarding conduct that would potentially constitute a violation of the Personal Conduct Policy, anything aimed at getting her to not proceed is no different than conduct in a normal workplace that is intended to intimidate or harass an actual or potential accuser.Thus, if Brown did indeed send those messages, the league should suspend him and/or the Patriots should cut him. Any other outcome would invite other players facing actual or potential accusations to try to scare away the accuser with strong language, claims that the accuser is simply looking to make a money grab Womens Joejuan Williams Jersey , efforts to investigate her background, and subtly menacing efforts to pull the accuser’s children into the situation.Given that Brown included his own lawyer in the group texts shows that Brown simply didn’t realize the problems inherent to this kind of behavior. Whether he realized it or not, the conduct is unacceptable — and the league and Patriots should take action in response to it, quickly. A Palm Beach County judge granted Robert Kraft’s motion to suppress video evidence in his solicitation of prostitution case, via multiple reports.That means the prosecution cannot use surveillance video obtained by police from inside a Jupiter, Florida, day spa, giving the Patriots owner a major victory Monday.Kraft is one of dozens of men accused of receiving illicit massages at the Orchids of Asia spa in January. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree misdemeanor charges.Authorities used the video surveillance within the spa as evidence Authentic Joejuan Williams Jersey , and Kraft’s legal team argued their warrant was lacking. The judge threw it out on grounds Kraft had a reasonable expectation of privacy, WPTV reports.Kraft’s attorneys now could file a motion to dismiss as court filings show “covert surveillance video” and “body worn camera” videos are the main pieces of evidence gathered against Kraft, WPTV reports.The state can appeal the decision, dismiss the charges or take it to court. Its chances to win in court, though, took a hit with the judge’s decision Monday.
The announcement that the Raiders have drawn the short straw came with no reaction from Raiders coach Jon Gruden. That reaction is coming on Thursday.Gruden will meet with reporters at roughly 3:30 p.m. ET tomorrow Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , in connection with the team’s mandatory minicamp. And at that point we’ll get a feel regarding just how mandatory Oakland’s submission to the will of HBO and NFL Films was, because it was clear before word came that the Raiders will be doing that they didn’t want to do it. (Indeed, the press release trumpeting the news has no quotes from the head coach.)Gruden last met with the media on Tuesday, before the announcement came that the Raiders will be doing . At one point near the end of the session, he said (with some distinct sarcasm) while discussing rookie running back Josh Jacobs, “Who knows, maybe will come and cover that. That would awesome, wouldn’t it?”Asked by a reporter for his reaction to brother Jay Gruden trying to lobby for Oakland to be the team (and not Washington) Bo Jackson Jersey , Jon Gruden said, “I’m not talking to my brother again.”Jon Gruden will be talking to the media again, and it’s hard not to wonder whether he knew that the cup was coming his way when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday, even if the reporters didn’t know.The Raiders were one of five teams that, in theory, could have been compelled to appear on the show. The relatively late date of the announcement has been interpreted as an indication that none of the five wanted to do it. And it’s possible that some sort of backroom deal was done to get the Raiders to agree.Or maybe the league simply said to the Raiders, “Look, we let you move to Las Vegas https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , you’re getting the draft next year, and you’re going to be in the Super Bowl rotation. Just shut up and do it.”But Gruden is never one to shut up, and that could make for an entertaining press conference on Thursday, one for which NFL Films may want to show up, since Gruden’s remarks could end up being compelling enough to put in the first episode of this year’s show.

CHARLOTTE Womens Ryan Griffin Jersey , N.C. (AP) — Eric Reid’s return to the NFL created a buzz around the league on Thursday, six months after he filed a grievance alleging collusion by the NFL to prevent teams from signing him because of his participation in racial injustice protests during the national anthem alongside former San Francisco 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick.Some NFL players were excited about the 2013 Pro Bowl safety signing a one-year deal with the Panthers, but were quick to point out they believe Kaepernick should be back in the league as well.Kaepernick congratulated his Reid on Twitter , saying Reid “should have been signed the 1st day of free agency. … He was the 1ST person 2 kneel alongside me. Eric is a social justice warrior, continues to support his family and communities in need.”Browns running back Carlos Hyde, who played with Reid and Kaepernick in San Francisco, was stunned to hear his former teammate had been picked up by the Panthers.“For real?” Hyde said following Cleveland’s practice. “I’m so happy for him. It’s been too long. I kind of felt like they was doing him the same way they were doing Kap, so it’s good to see E-Reid got signed and Kap should definitely be up next. It would be a real good thing then.”Said Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett, “It’s about time.”As for Reid, who filed his grievance in May Womens Stephen Anderson Jersey , he was mum during the hoopla on Thursday, declining comment through the Panthers and not weighing in on social media except to re-tweet Kaepernick.The 26-year-old Reid said in March that he doesn’t plan to protest during the national anthem this season. The Panthers have a bye this week and next play at home on Oct. 7 against the New York Giants.Kaepernick, who filed his grievance in October 2017 and remains a free agent, began protesting racial and social injustice during the 2016 preseason by kneeling during the national anthem. Reid later joined the quarterback. After that other players around the league joined in, much to the displeasure of President Trump, who Tweeted at players to “Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!”That sparked a polarizing political debate that divided some NFL fans.Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills knelt during this year’s season opener against the Titans.“I’m just happy for (Reid), excited to see him get out there on the field and be the impact player we all know he is,” Stills said Thursday. “Obviously I feel like he should have been signed the first day of free agency.”Stills said he spoke to Kaepernick, his close friend, on Thursday.“He wants to play. He’s good enough to play. He deserves to play http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-senio-kelemete-jersey ,” Stills said. “I don’t see why a team won’t sign him, or hasn’t signed him.”The decision by the Panthers to sign Reid comes less than three months after David Tepper bought the team from conservative owner Jerry Richardson.Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said he wasn’t concerned about Reid’s past protests, telling The Associated Press it was a “football decision” — and one that was approved by Tepper.“Every decision we make we communicate with” Tepper, the GM said. “Everybody we sign we ask if he has the skill set, does he fit into our system, and if he can help us win football games — and we feel the answer is yes.”Eric Reid’s younger brother, Justin, who plays safety for the Texans, said he is “immensely proud” of what his older brother stands for “in trying to have a voice for the voiceless.”When asked if he believes his brother was not signed earlier by NFL teams because of his decision to protest, Justin Reid said “I’m going to try and defer away from that.”Reid is expected to start right away after the Panthers placed starter Da’Norris Searcy on injured reserve last week with a concussion. The 6-foot-1 Trevor Daniel Jersey , 215-pound Reid played the first five seasons of his NFL career with San Francisco after the 49ers selected him in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft. He has started 69 games.“He’s a physical safety with good ball skills and he makes plays and he has experience,” Hurney said. “He’s a young player with skins on the wall. He has played at a very high level.”Forty Niners defensive coordinator Robert Saleh confirmed Thursday they inquired about signing Reed this week after injuries to Jaquiski Tartt and Adrian Colbert.“E-Reid is familiar with our system and we know him, are comfortable with him,” Saleh said. “Obviously, it didn’t work out, but any time you have the opportunity you explore it.” Keith Mumphery was drafted by the Texans in 2015 and played for them until 2017, when he was abruptly released after news broke that he had been banned from Michigan State’s campus over an accusation of sexual assault. Mumphery has always professed his innocence, sued Michigan State, and after a lawsuit settlement revoked that ban from campus, he’s asking for another chance in the NFL.Mumphery said he knows the Texans felt Womens Aaron Colvin Jersey , at the time, like they couldn’t have a player on their roster who had been accused of sexual assault, but he hopes that now the Texans or some other team will see things differently.“It’s all love for the Texans,” Mumphery told the . “I understand why they released me, it was bad PR for them at that time. They gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. I understand the NFL is a business. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me. It’s something I always dreamed of as a little kid. I thank them for the opportunity. They saw something in me. I was the first person from my hometown to go to the NFL. Now, it’s about getting a second chance.”Mumphery said he’s in good shape and ready to sign with any team that will have him.“My body is young,” Mumphery said. “I don’t drink or smoke. I eat healthy. I have a 22-year-old’s body. I’m leaner and I have more mobility. I’m hungry now. I’m a lot better physically and athletically. I’m not the same me. I’m 100 times better.Realistically, Mumphery’s chances aren’t good. He was a wide receiver averaging less than one catch per game, and now he’s been off the field for two years. But all it takes is one team to give him a chance on a 90-player roster.
The Bengals and Broncos traded punts most of the first half. Then Cordy Glenn Jersey White , in the final two minutes, they traded points.The Broncos lead 7-3 at halftime.Denver finally broke a scoreless game on a Phillip Lindsay touchdown with 1:56 remaining. Lindsay ran it in from 6 yards out to complete an eight-play, 55-yard drive.The Bengals, who lost receiver A.J. Green to a right foot injury in the second quarter, did not run a play in Denver territory until 1:01 remained in the half. They punted on their first four possessions. The Bengals drove to the Denver 7 before Jeff Driskel was called for intentional grounding. Cincinnati ended up settling for a 35-yard Randy Bullock field goal with 12 seconds remaining in the half.The Broncos did not get points on another potential scoring drive as Brandon McManus missed a 50-yard field goal wide left. Driskel has completed 13 of 20 passes for 94 yards, while Case Keenum is 7-of-15 for 77 yards.The Bengals have 145 yards http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-tyler-eifert-jersey , and the Broncos 143.Shelby Harris has 1.5 sacks for the Broncos, with Von Miller getting the other half sack. In the Marvin Lewis era, the Bengals have played the Steelers 18 times in Paul Brown Stadium.They’ve beaten them just twice.You can pin the blame regarding their latest 28-21 loss on injuries the defense suffered, or a missed penalty on the Steelers final play of the game. But every team suffers injuries, and since when do the Bengals get favorable calls against their biggest rival?Those ultimately factored into the final score, but as defensive end Carlos Dunlap wisely put it after the game Womens C.J. Uzomah Jersey , they weren’t the biggest reasons why the Steelers once again beat them on their home turf.“Insanity is when you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results,”Proclaimed Dunlap. “We made some mistakes that we made before. We’ve got to learn from them. Once again.”In Dunlap’s career, he’s witnessed just one home victory against Pittsburgh back in his fourth season in 2013. He’s been a part of nine losses at home at the hands of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The loss his team suffered Sunday was very similar to the several that have come before.Dunlap and the rest of the Bengals pass rush was grossly ineffective at pressuring Roethlisberger, whom Dunlap joked about earlier in the week. While the Steelers offensive line handled their business, the Bengals offense gave up numerous pressures and allowed a handful of drive-killing sacks on quarterback Andy Dalton. In a similar fashion, the Steelers ended up with over 100 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns from running back James Conner Carl Lawson Jersey White , while the Bengals rushing game was non-existent for most of the second half. Both teams diverged in separate phases of the game and even though the Bengals clawed their way back to a one-point lead with just over a minute left to play, the Steelers controlled the game, like they always do against the Bengals. Dunlap has seen this movie before, and he knows the refs and injuries aren’t the primary culprits. The definition of insanity is the definition of the Bengals in this kind of scenario. A defining win before a crucial showdown on the road against the AFC-leading Kansas City Chiefs in primetime would’ve been huge for the Bengals. Instead, they’re left hanging their heads after fighting tooth and nail with their arch nemesis. After the game, players on both teams got into a fight on the field Womens Ryan Glasgow Jersey , a result of the frustrating loss the Bengals suffered. Frustration is good if it can be applied towards progress. But if this game showed anything, it’s that the Bengals haven’t made enough progress to warrant taking them seriously when the season is on the line. When will progress show? When the Bengals prove they’ve overcome the perpetual trap of insanity that they currently reside in.
A season that started with promise for the Cincinnati Bengals continued its spiral when quarterback Andy Dalton injured his right thumb in a 35-20 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.Dalton was hurt on his passing hand while trying to recover a shotgun snap that sailed over his head in the third quarter and didn’t return. After the injury Rodney Anderson Jersey Womens , Baker Mayfield threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game to give the Browns a 35-7 lead.The Bengals started the season 4-1, but are 1-5 since and have lost their past three games. Backup Jeff Driskel will start next Sunday against the Broncos if Dalton can’t play.“I know personally what I’ve known all along, and that’s that I can play at this level and give our team a chance to win,” Driskel said.Two other players were hurt for Cincinnati: backup right tackle Jake Fisher, who suffered a back injury, and cornerback Tony McRae, who gave two thumbs up as he was wheeled off the field after a third-quarter concussion.The Chargers‘ high-powered offense suffered a possible setback when running back Melvin Gordon left with a knee injury in the third quarter of Los Angeles‘ blowout victory over Arizona. Gordon came into the game sixth in the league in rushing. Cardinals linebacker Josh Bynes suffered a thumb injury during the second quarter.For the Carolina Panthers, a quadriceps injury to cornerback David Jackson on the first play from scrimmage ended up playing a role in the Seattle Seahawks’ comeback win. Jackson did not return, and Russell Wilson exploited the Panthers’ secondary on a game-tying touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter.Carolina punt returner Damiere Byrd left with an arm injury in the first half and did not return. For Seattle Rodney Anderson Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , fullback Tre Madden left in the second half with a shoulder injury.The Ravens lost safety Tony Jefferson to an ankle injury in their victory over the Raiders. Oakland defensive tackle Maurice Hurst left in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury, and defensive end Jacquies Smith left in the first half after hurting an Achilles.New York Giants tight end Evan Engram injured his hamstring in warmups and didn’t play against the Eagles, and wide receiver Quadree Henderson left the loss to Philadelphia with a shoulder injury.Buccaneers offensive tackle Demar Dotson left in the first half against the San Francisco 49ers with knee and hamstring injuries and did not return. Tampa Bay also lost cornerback Carlton Davis II to a knee injury in the third quarter. For San Francisco, safety Jimmie Ward suffered a broken forearm in the first quarter and safety D.J. Reed departed in the second half with a heel injury.Cornerback Lafayette Pitts sustained a head injury while covering a punt in the first quarter for the Buffalo Bills in their win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags lost left guard Andrew Norwell when he hurt an ankle in the fourth quarter.Broncos cornerback Tramaine Brock hurt his ribs tackling Pittsburgh’s JuJu Smith-Schuster in the third quarter of Denver’s victory. In the fourth quarter, tight end Jeff Heuerman left with a back injury and linebacker Shaq Barrett departed with a hip injury.The Miami Dolphins lost receiver Danny Amendola to a right knee injury and center Travis Swanson to an ankle injury in the first quarter of their loss to the Colts. Indianapolis running back Marlon Mack entered the concussion protocol in the fourth quarter. PITTSBURGH (AP)The bad blood between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals is palpable, built on years of animosity and antagonism, hits that straddled the line between clean and dirty and others that leapfrogged across it all together. The AFC North’s nastiest rivalry renews Sunday with familiar stakes. The first-place Steelers (4-2) trying to give themselves some breathing room over the rest of the division. The Bengals (2-3) hoping to take another significant step forward following an 0-3 start that threatened to end the competitive portion of their season before it really began. ”It’s going to be highly contested, it’s going to be emotional,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. ”It’s going to be AFC North football.” Translation: anything goes. ”Obviously Rodney Anderson Jersey 2019 , Bengals and Steelers is always going to be nitty gritty,” Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell said. ”It’s football. It’s a little smack talk, maybe some plays on one side or another side where the other team may think it’s dirty or uncalled for. But it’s football … and that’s expected.” Bell talked openly about taking extra precautions to protect himself, particularly from volatile Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who ended Bell’s season in 2015 on a sideline tackle that left Bell’s right knee mangled. Burfict celebrated in the aftermath, with karma perhaps repaying him later in the season when Pittsburgh went to Cincinnati in the wild-card round and pulled out an ugly 18-16 victory aided by a personal foul penalty on Burfict that helped the Steelers’ last-gasp drive reach field goal range. Pittsburgh has taken seven of the past eight in the series. Making it eight of nine would stall Cincinnati’s surge. The Bengals have won two straight since Burfict returned from a three-game suspension. His presence practically guarantees extracurricular activity at some point. The familiarity between the two clubs breeds the kind of contempt hard to find elsewhere in the NFL. Still, even that familiarity has limits. ”Naw, they’re not brothers,” Cincinnati safety George Iloka said. ”It’s that cousin that your parents invite over that you’re not really cool with. That’s what that is. They’re there for Thanksgiving dinner and you’re like Rodney Anderson Jersey Mens , man, why did you all invite them this year? That type of thing.” Some things to look for, well, besides a busy day for the officials. STOPPING A.J.: The Steelers held Cincinnati wide receiver A.J. Green to two catches for 38 yards in their only game last season – he missed the second one with a hamstring injury. That ended a streak of Green’s big games against the Steelers. In his previous six, he’d averaged 8.3 catches and 120 yards with four touchdowns, including scoring plays of 81 and 66 yards. Twice, he caught 11 passes in a game. The Bengals have made it a priority to get Green the ball since Bill Lazor took over as offensive coordinator, and they’re likely to keep at it against the top-ranked pass defense in the NFL. ”We got back to playing how we know we can play,” Dalton said. ”We’ve had a good connection. Anytime I can get him the ball Youth Rodney Anderson Jersey , I’m going to try and do it. I think it’s part of who we are – what we’ve done – and we’ve gotten better over the course of the last couple of weeks. We just want to keep doing it.” ON THE RUN I: Pittsburgh’s roller coaster season reached a high point in a 19-13 victory over previously unbeaten Kansas City last weekend. The Steelers, who have won nine straight October meetings with the Bengals, appear to have settled on an offensive identity: give the ball to Bell and get out of the way. Pittsburgh is 9-0 since Bell arrived when he has at least 25 carries, including a season-high 32 for 179 yards against the Chiefs. Any apparent rust from Bell’s decision to skip training camp appears to be gone for good. ”There were consequences (for missing camp), and maybe we’re through them,” Tomlin said. ”I don’t know that, but he’s playing extremely well.” ON THE RUN II: The Steelers finally got their ground game moving in the win over Kansas City. The Bengals are hoping to follow their lead at Heinz Field. They have only one rushing touchdown, tied with Buffalo for second-fewest in the league. Their average of 3.2 yards per carry is second-worst, trailing Arizona’s 3.1 yards. Lazor took a closer look at the running game during the Bengals’ bye week and is determined to get more out of it. They’ve used three different backs without much success. Rookie Joe Mixon leads with 187 yards White Rodney Anderson Jersey , averaging only 2.8 yards per carry. ”I’m committed that we’ll get the run game going better,” Lazor said. STILL GOING STRONG: Longtime Steelers linebacker James Harrison found himself a healthy scratch in Weeks 4 and 5. Tomlin put the 39-year-old back in the rotation and he responded with a late sack that helped seal the win at Arrowhead. Tomlin didn’t rule out expanding Harrison’s playing time so long as Harrison remains productive. ”I know that he’s capable,” Tomlin said. ”Sometimes the circumstances might be ideal. Sometimes they might not be.” — AP Sports Writer Joe Kay in Cincinnati contributed to this report. —
ATLANTA (AP) — Matthew Slater is more than halfway to his father's longevity as an NFL player. He doesn't plan to equal it.The star special teamer of the New England Patriots just completed his 11th pro season Los Angeles Rams Jerseys 2019 , and he's at his fifth Super Bowl, with two wins. In his dad Jackie's 20-season NFL career, he made one Super Bowl — coincidentally, with the Rams in 1980 — and lost to Pittsburgh."That's a long time to do anything," Matthew Slater said Tuesday. As for the New England kick coverage ace lasting so long, he added with a laugh: "Absolutely not." Of course, when your team becomes a regular visitor to the Super Bowl, it lengthens the season by more than a month. No one in the NFL would want to pass on that, but in reality Slater has played nearly 12 seasons, making All-Pro in 2016 and being voted to seven Pro Bowls.Not bad for someone whose Hall of Fame father didn't necessarily want Matthew to play football."He felt that way for two reasons Greg Gaines Jersey nfl draft ," Matthew Slater says. "First, he didn't want me to feel the pressure of living up to his name. He thought the expectations could be unfair."He also wanted me to avoid injury. He knew the toll it takes on you physically."Matthew and his brother played plenty of sports, and guess who usually was the coach. Yep, Jackie."Sports have always been a big part of my life and have so many life lessons from being on a team, and the disciplines of preparing to compete and how you compete, and having teammates around you. I thought they were good lessons to learn," Jackie Slater said."I discouraged them to play football. I didn't think (Matthew) would be big enough to play football. I coached in basketball, soccer, track and field, even some flag football. I didn't see football as something that he would excel. But when he played flag Cheap Greg Gaines Jersey , he had good speed and he caught the ball and ran well."Matthew kept improving in high school and grew, though not to Jackie's offensive tackle measurements. Because Jackie was unfamiliar with the kind of skills his son possessed, he turned to teammates Ron Brown — a 1984 Olympic champion speedster, who played wideout and returned kicks — and outstanding cornerback LeRoy Irvin. Brown refined Matthew's technique and speed, and Irvin worked with him on back-pedaling and breaks for receivers."Things I was not familiar with," says Jackie, who recalled watching Matthew leave everyone behind in a 100-meter race, only to have Brown say "he did everything wrong."I knew I needed to get out of the way."Not really. Matthew, now 33, credits pretty much everything he has achieved in football to his father Custom Greg Gaines Jersey , who entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001."He made every effort to be present," the son says. "That's what I appreciate the most: He was a father first. So many young kids … many black kids … I see they don't have a presence like that."Anytime I have success, certainly my dad is sharing in it. It all goes back to my dad; I wouldn't be playing this game without him. It's pretty unique, a son being able to do something his dad did. We are enjoying this ride together."For sure. But on Sunday, well, Jackie admits to being a bit torn when the Rams — his team — take on the Patriots — Matthew's team.You see, Jackie Slater still has plenty of millennium blue and new century gold running through his veins."This is a win-win situation for me," the elder Slater notes. "If my son loses, it's not as if he hasn't experienced the thrill of victory in a Super Bowl, something I never did. And if he loses Greg Gaines Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , it hurts, but he has a great attitude about it. It helps me live with the defeats he has."If the Rams win, I will be happy because I have been pulling for this team for more than 40 years. My first hero in the game was Tom Mack, who I actually played with for three years."You know, he has an unbelievable opportunity to experience things I never did. I don't know what it is like to win the Super Bowl beyond the joy my son had when he won on two occasions. That's almost as good as me winning, I felt." The Rams have not looked like the same team they were early in the year while going 1-2 since their Week 12 bye and quarterback Jared Goff‘s slide has been even sharper.Goff threw six interceptions while completing over 67 percent of his passes in the first 11 games of the season, but he’s thrown six while completing 55 percent of his throws over the last three weeks. It’s a stark change from how things have gone since Sean McVay was hired as the team’s head coach, but it’s not one that has Goff panicking about what’s coming next.“No. No, I’m not. I don’t think we are. I think we’re learning from them, learning from the mistakes in the last game and moving forward Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched ,鈥?Goff said, via the team’s website. 鈥淚t is our first time going through that with Sean. That speaks to what we’ve done in the last two years, but definitely something that we’re learning through and a little bit of adversity for us to get through.”Goff said he does not believe there’s “one singular thing” that’s caused the problems over the last three weeks and facing the Cardinals this weekend would seem to be a good thing for a team trying to get back on track. If that doesn’t happen, Goff will likely be asked about panic at some point next week as well.
The Chiefs wants to get their star defensive lineman signed to a long-term deal Khalen Saunders Jersey Cheap , but a new report says there has been no recent progress" Kansas City Chiefs NewsReport: “no change” in Chris Jones’ contract situationNew,130commentsThe Chiefs wants to get their star defensive lineman signed to a long-term deal, but a new report says there has been no recent progressCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Report: “no change” in Chris Jones’ contract situationTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by David Eulitt/Getty ImagesAccording to friend-of-the-site Terez Paylor of Yahoo! Sports, there has been no change in the status of negotiations between the Kansas City Chiefs and defensive tackle Chris Jones, who has one year remaining on his rookie contract.Early in the year, it was reported that extending Jones’ contract would be a priority for the Chiefs.After a season in which he recorded 15.5 sacks, an interception Khalen Saunders Jersey Womens , a pair of forced fumbles and 35 solo tackles, Jones’ contract is expected to be in the range of a five-year deal worth $100 million.Jones did not report to the voluntary parts of the offseason program — which is not at all unusual for a player in the midst of contract negotiations — but also stayed away from the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp sessions in mid-June.This raised concerns that Jones might not report to training camp until a a deal is finalized.That could be a possible scenario if Jones was already a vested veteran.But Jones needs another accrued season (as defined in the current collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL players association) in order to be an unrestricted free agent when the 2019 season concludes.Even if he were to play every game in 2019 campaign, Jones will not accrue another season if he doesn’t report to the team at least 30 days before the first game of the regular season.That means Jones — even if he decides to miss a few days of training camp to make a point — is almost guaranteed to report to camp by August 6.In addition, the Chiefs have said they will not conduct serious negotiations with Jones’ camp until he shows up.We will keep you updated. On Thursday night, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes dislocated a kneecap while executing a quarterback sneak. The prior Thursday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ran multiple quarterback sneaks without incident.So what does Brady do to avoid injury on a play like that?“Pliability, man Khalen Saunders white jersey ,” Brady told reporters on Saturday. “That’s what I work on every day.”So was the Mahomes injury a freak thing?“I mean, it’s football,” Brady said. “It’s a contact sport, so guys get hurt all the time. I think that’s the nature of a physical sport, whether it’s football or — you run around, it’s part of it. So, you’ve just got to do the best you can to try to avoid getting injured Khalen Saunders Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , but sometimes you can’t.”When running a sneak, Brady has a simple strategy for gaining the needed yardage and avoiding injury.“I’m just trying to get the first down,” Brady said. “If that’s what it’s got to be, I try to get as many yards as I can, so I try to go to the soft spot of the defense and — yeah, try to get as many as I can.”Although the connection between pliability and health remains unclear, Brady has been able to play effectively into his 40s without getting injured. This year Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , with so many quarterbacks getting injured, Brady just keeps going.
Patriots injury update: RB Jeremy Hill injured his knee on fumble return Chase Winovich Jersey Draft , OUT for the game New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury against the Houston Texans. He has been declared OUT for the game.Tom Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski for a 29-yard gain, but Texans defensive back Kareem Jackson punched the ball out and it was recovered by Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu scampered around the open field trying to find a crease for a return, but failed to do so.During the return, Jeremy Hill was in position to make a stop, but fullback James Develin came in from a different direction and hit Hill’s right knee. He was almost immediately named OUT for the game.It’s never a good sign when a player suffers a knee injury and immediately declared out. We will provide updates as soon as they become available.

EDTShareTweetShareShareThe Top 20 Patriots Moments of 2018: Number 13 Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY SportsThe draft is over, rookie minicamps are underway, and we’re rapidly approaching that glorious unofficial start of summer known as Memorial Day Weekend. Why not slack off on a lazy Saturday by continuing the countdown of the Top 20 Most Memorable Patriots Moments of 2018.The list so far:20. Danny Etling gets half of the Giants fired with an 86 yard touchdown run.19. The Patriots demolish the Jets at home to secure a playoff bye.18. Julian Edelman bounces off a Bill and into the end zone on a 4th down conversion.17. Some punt team acrobatics keep the Steelers from getting a touchback.16.

The New England Patriots trade for Josh Gordon.At Number 13, we head back to what was supposed to be an epic quarterback battle that didn’t quite pan out the way folks had hopes.13.A Julian Edelman screen pass and an epic Tom Brady fakeout secures a primetime win on Sunday Night Football over the Green Bay Packers.Brady vs. Rodgers. The greatest quarterback to ever put on a helmet, capable of doing things nobody else could ever do, a complete revolution of the position and the game as a whole...and that quarterback who plays for the Patriots.At least that’s the picture the mainstream media likes to paint when it comes to Rodgers and Brady, quarterbacks who have, remarkably, only met head-to-head twice in their careers. So when the Packers, who beat the Patriots in Green Bay in 2014 Chase Winovich NFL Jersey , came into Foxboro on November 4th, 2018 for a Sunday Night matchup, the hype was tremendous. The Packers were having a bit of a see-saw year, sitting at 3-3 and struggling to maintain consistency. The Pats, however, had rattled off 5 straight since Week 4 and were looking to keep the momentum going as the 2nd half of the season got underway. A lot of people had Green Bay vs. New England as their Super Bowl picks back in August, and while neither team looked dominant, the talent of the 2 QBs leading their respective teams was just too great not to respect.The game was fairly close for the first three quarters; New England jumped to 7-0 lead on their first possession, but Green Bay hung around, and both teams went into the locker room at halftime with the Patriots up 17-10. The Packers recieved the opening kickoff to start the third quarter and went straight down the field in just seven plays and three minutes to tie it right up at 17. As Collinsworth tried his best to stop drooling over what he just saw, the Patriots got right to work, answering with their own 74 yard drive that brought the offense all the way down to the GB one yard line. Unfortunately, James White was stuffed on 1st and goal, Cordarrelle Patterson was stuffed on 2nd and goal, Chris Hogan couldn’t get open on 3rd and goal Chase Winovich NFL Draft , and a pass intended for Josh Gordon fell incomplete on 4th and goal, thus stalling the drive and returning possession to Rodgers - who would gain three yards on three plays and punt it right back.The Patriots couldn’t get anything going, however, and once again the offense left the field with no points on the board. The Packers, starting from their own 7, quickly made it all the way to the New England 34 on back-to-back 25 yard grabs from rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Green Bay seemed poised to take their first lead of the game as the 3rd quarter came to a close.However, on 1st and 10 from the 34, on the very first play of the fourth, running back Aaron Jones coughed up the ball on a tackle from Lawrence Guy, recovered by Stephon Gilmore. Just like that, momentum was back with New England, and Tommy B wasn’t about to let another opportunity go to waste.The Patriots went 76 yards on 10 plays, giving James White the opportunity to punch it in from the one yard line - fitting, seeing as how White was the main reason the Patriots were down there in the first place. As well as Julian Edelman Chase Winovich Buffalo Bills Jersey , of course.On 2nd and 6 with the Patriots driving into Packer territory, Brady hit Edelman on a quick screen in the backfield. He didn’t even try to fake the run, instead looking downfield as if to hit a streaking...Dwayne Allen (go ahead and watch the replay. Allen was the decoy). As the defense sat back on their heels, not biting on the fake, James White snuck out into the opposite side of the field, just behind the entire offensive line, and got into position just as Edelman hit him right between the numbers. Running behind an absolute wall of beef, White ran completely untouched down to the 10 yard line and down to the 2 for a 37 yard gain. It’s only fair that he then got to register the score.With the Patriots up 24-17 and 2nd half possessions at a premium, the Packers needed to answer. Unfortunately for Green Bay, the question was asked by Trey Flowers and Adrian Claiborne, as they sacked Rodgers for a nine yard loss on 3rd and 6 to set up an unmanageable 4th and 16, forcing another punt.The Patriots needed just three plays to put the game away for good. The first, a Julian Edelman reverse, went for 17. The next, a James White run Color Rush Chase Winovich Jersey , went for no gain. And the next, a pass to Josh Gordon, ended up in the end zone.It was not, however, an ordinary pass.On 2nd and 10 from the 45, Tommy B sent Chris Hogan in motion and faked the screen to him at the snap. The secondary, still stinging from getting caught on the last screen, immediately sprinted towards the line of scrimmage, leaving both Edelman and Gordon wide open on identical slant routes. Brady overthrew Edelman, who reached for the ball, and hit Gordon right in stride as he raced to the end zone for a 55 yard TD. The Packer defense, caught with their pants down, could only watch as Gordon put the game away. 31-17 is what the score would remain as the Pats moved to 7-3 and the Packers dropped to 3-4.Not only was this game a great team win over a respected NFC opponent, but it was highlighted by these two amazing plays, both of which are awesome on their own Youth Chase Winovich Jersey , but combined to seal the win makes them that much sweeter. All in primetime too, over the QB that a lot of pundits can’t crown the GOAT fast enough.Now let the record show that I’m a big Aaron Rodgers fan. I think he’s phenomenal, and watching him play is a privilege. But I called him overrated after this game, and I stand by that - although that isn’t his fault, nor is that on any Packer fan. Rodgers himself admits Brady is better than he is, and most Packers fans will gladly admit the same while still bending the knee to the King of their North. But with Peyton Manning gone and the Brady vs. Manning debate definitively put to bed, there needs to be another QB to talk about in comparison to Brady in order for failing sports journalists and ego-maniacal windbags to bloviate about in a desperate attempt to draw ratings, and Rodgers is that guy. That’s not a knock on Rodgers, nor is it an indictment of his ability; the media started this ridiculous conversation, and that’s all there is to it.So Brady beating Rodgers here didn’t at all factor into my decision to place this moment here at Number 13; it was the primetime win, and the awesome plays that led to it, that gave it the distinction.Full game highlights here.

That was April 17. Before the draft and OTA’s and minicamp. With those initial odds, the Raiders were 2.5-point favorites over the visiting Broncos on Monday Night Football.Now, nearly three months later, with both the Raiders and Broncos’ rosters pretty much how they will look heading into training camp, the latest odds have come out. And the Raiders are still 2.5-point favorites according to @WilliamHillUSThe biggest changes for both teams since then came through the draft. The Broncos picked up tight end Noah Fant in the first round and guard Dalton Risner and quarterback Drew Lock in the second. Then got great value in Dre’Mont Jones in the third.The Raiders had four picks in the first 40, picking up pass rusher Clelin Ferrell at 4th overall, running back Josh Jacobs and safety Johnathan Abram late in the first and cornerback Trayvon Mullen early in the second round. They had no third round pick.At this juncture there is no reason to believe either team came out better than the other. Fant was a top tight end in this draft, and someone the Raiders had their eye on. Risner is one of the top guards in the draft — also a player the Raiders could have used. And Lock was thought of by some to be a first round product who could challenge Joe Flacco for the starting QB job. For the Raiders, Ferrell instantly adds much needed pass rush. Jacobs steps in immediately as the team’s starting running back as does Abrams at safety. Mullen will be valuable depth at cornerback and compete for snaps.It could be the only thing that would change this line between now and the game is a major injury.Follow @LeviDamien Tyler Roemer, T, San Diego StateMeasurables6’6", 312 lbs5.21 40 yard dash18 bench reps30.5" vertical jump108" broad jump4.76 20-yard shuttle7.75 3-coneStats2018: Started 10 games at..." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteSilver And Black Pridean Oakland Raiders communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsRaidersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Raiders StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Raiders NewsYahoo Raiders Team PageYahoo Raiders ReportYahoo Raiders Depth ChartYahoo Raiders TransactionsYahoo Raiders PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Raiders 2019 UDFA scouting report: Tyler Roemer is raw, but has long term starter potentialNew,10commentsPDTShareTweetShareShareRaiders 2019 UDFA scouting report: Tyler Roemer is raw, but has long term starter potentialJake Roth-USA TODAY SportsTyler Roemer, T, San Diego StateMeasurables6’6”, 312 lbs5.21 40 yard dash18 bench reps30.5” vertical jump108” broad jump4.76 20-yard shuttle7.75 3-coneStats2018: Started 10 games at left tackle2017: Started all 13 games at left tackle2016: RedshirtedAwards2018: Second-team All-Mountain West StrengthsRoemer is a gifted natural athlete with the movement skills necessary to play in the NFL, specifically the explosiveness necessary to execute cut blocks in the zone blocking scheme. Has excellent lateral movement skills Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , gliding smoothly, as opposed to chop stepping. Possesses both the foot speed to reach the second level, and explosiveness necessary for recovery when beaten. Has a fantastic motor that never stops, and is always looking for defenders to hit right up until the whistle. WeaknessesMaturity may be an issue, and declared for the NFL draft after his redshirt sophomore season after an indefinite suspension with two games left in 2018 led to him losing his spot on the Aztecs roster. He needs significant work in the weight room, as he has a solid punch, but has issues gaining full extension after engaging. Further, per NFL Analyst Lance Zierlein, Roemer has an, “Underdeveloped frame with no butt and thin legs”. VerdictRoemer is the type of raw, naturally athletic offensive lineman Tom Cable tends to love, and if he puts in the work in the weight room to improve his strength, it could go a long way towards success in the NFL. Roemer’s got the athleticism necessary to succeed in the NFL, but had issues at times getting push and moving defenders in the Mountain West, making NFL opponents even that much greater of a challenge. Some time on a professional workout routine and diet plan could transform Roemer in to a starting tackle. In 2017 he helped pave the way for Rashaad Penny to become a first round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks, and here is a cutup of Penny against the Stanford in 2017 with Roemer (wearing number 74 at left tackle) helping clear the way. Fit With RaidersWith Kolton Miller and Trent Brown set to start at tackle, Roemer’s best bet for playing time early in his career may come at left guard. He’ll likely need to put in significant work in the weight room between now and training camp, but if he can do that he could be a serious competitor for that spot. Roemer is raw and athletic, but gifted enough that with added strength, he could become a starter on the offensive line for a decade.

Houston Texans star J.J. Watt said Monday that he has distributed the $41.6 million his foundation raised to help rebuild the Texas Gulf Coast after Hurricane Harvey.An online fundraiser Watt launched after the storm hit Texas last year went viral and far exceeded his original goal of raising $200,000.“It’s incredible to see just the generosity of strangers and what it’s able to do and what it’s able to accomplish, and the fact that that’s just year one,” Watt said. “We still have more to do and we still have a lot going on moving forward.”Watt routed the money to eight groups actively involved in Texas’ rebuilding and recovery. According to the Texans http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-andre-hal-jersey , the funds have already been used to clean up and rebuild more than 600 homes, distribute more than 26 million meals and provide health care to more than 6,500 people.The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year has dealt with serious injuries in each of the last two seasons, playing just eight games combined in 2016-17, though he’s back and healthy now. He said working on this project and seeing how people came together to help others in such a huge time of need was good for him.“As you look back on it, you really understand how incredible it really was and how thankful that I am for so many people to help out and to be willing to help out,” Watt said. “I was going through some tough times myself the last two years, so I think that it really helped show me the good side of people and that I should have hope and … have positivity.”Houston coach Bill O’Brien said he spoke to the team Monday about the impact Watt’s fundraiser had on the community, and he raved about his superstar defensive end.“I don’t even know if words can describe that Womens Jordan Thomas Jersey , what he’s meant to the city of Houston, everything that he’s done,” O’Brien said. “He was hands-on with it. He’s been hands-on with how to distribute the money, where it goes, all those things. We have a great deal of respect for what he’s done, and I know the city does, too.”Watt, who is entering his eighth NFL season, talked about how moved he was that everyone from celebrities to children with lemonade stands helped raise funds to help the victims of the storm Womens Nick Martin Jersey , which made landfall last Aug. 25 and left torrential flooding in its wake. He said he felt a lot of pressure to make sure the money was used to make the biggest impact in areas where it was needed most.“Obviously, I wasn’t planning on being in such a wild situation from the start, but I had an incredible support team around me and I had tons of people help me out,” he said. “We did loads and loads of research and we spent hours and hours doing the phone calls and the meetings and talking with everybody and gathering as much information as we could, so we could do it the right way.”“Because that’s the only thing that we wanted out of all of it — we wanted to do it the right way and make sure that we did proud to people who trusted us,” Watt said.16<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:WATCH: Texas High School Football Preview Show | Texas Football Days Presented By Jack In The Box
Sometimes players put on a show at the Combine Womens Jake Rudock Jersey , so we’ve put together the best and the worst."With the 2019 NFL Combine now in full swing, I decided to take a look back at the best and worst performances in Combine history. Not every super athlete turned into an NFL superstar and not every poor performance saw the player relegated to the dustbin of history. Some of these performances were rightly called out as historic when they happened, but some just flew under the radar, either due to other storylines being more prevalent or simply due to the Combine lacking the luster that it has today as a national viewing experience. There’s no real science to why I chose these instead of others, so be sure to let me know who I overlooked in the comments.Best Quarterback Combine Ever - Cam NewtonWe’re kicking off with an easy one, I know, at least on the high end. There were plenty to choose from, just among the recent draft classes, but the top of this group had some pretty insane athletes. Whether it was Akili Smith setting a then record for a QB 3-Cone at 6.99 seconds while running a 4.66 in the 40-yard dash way back in 1999, Josh McCown ranking 96th percentile or higher in literally every drill he participated in 2002, or Tim Tebow posting a (somewhat ironic) 6.66 3-Cone time in 2010, there’s no shortage of great athletes. Nobody else deserves this mention, however, besides Cam Newton, whose 2011 performance is unlikely to ever be replicated even before you consider his size.Worst Quarterback Combine Ever - Steve BeuerleinTom Brady haters, you can put your pitchforks away, this one was actually fairly easy. While people love to laugh at Tom Brady’s now iconic-in-an-ironic-way Combine performance, that’s mostly due to his chunky weigh in picture and horrid 5.24 40-yard dash. His explosion drills were equally awful, but his agility drills weren’t bad at all. Both his shuttle and cone times were almost exactly average. Steve Beuerlein, on the other hand, did not have such luck. Posting a very poor 40 time was actually the high point for the eventual 1999 Pro Bowler, and he would go on to post some of the most abysmal explosion numbers in Combine history. It wasn’t all bad, as he would go on to make the aforementioned Pro Bowl 13 years into his career and was the No. 1 draft selection in the 1995 Expansion Draft, throwing the first passes for the Jacksonville Jaguars... before being replaced by Mark Brunell in Year 1.Best Running Back Combine Ever - Chris Darkins Before you ask “Who?” let me clear the air on who Chris Darkins gets the nod over. I had thought, initially, about giving this to Saquon Barkley. Barkley dominated the 2018 Combine, posting elite numbers in nearly every drill, hitting over 90th percentile in every drill he performed... except the Short Shuttle. He had a fine shuttle DeShawn Shead Jersey White , just not a great one. And he did it all at 233 pounds! I also considered giving this to Edgerrin James, whose 1999 Combine performance hit some pretty ridiculous marks, or James Stewart, who did the same in 1995. Both of those guys missed a whole category each, though, so it felt wrong to include them. Instead, I went with Chris Darkins, a former fourth-round pick for the Packers in 1996 who hit elite marks everywhere, above 93rd percentile in all drills and hitting historic marks in two: the 10 split (1.54) and short shuttle (3.91). It never translated to the field, however, as Darkins only had a few kick returns to his credit in his very short NFL career. Oh, he was also arrested in 2016 for an alleged role in a drug ring.Worst Running Back Combine Ever - John SettleOne of the profiles that gave me the idea for this very article, John Settle was the first 0.00 RAS running back, posting the worst score in the first year that RAS covers (1987) and one that would hold up as low as 0.08 out of 10.00 today. He would go undrafted that season but would land with the Atlanta Falcons and, oh boy, did he have a great kick off to a heck of a career! Settle would go on to net the first 1,000-yard season by an undrafted free agent ever, posting 1,024 yards and seven touchdowns, earning All-Pro honors. Settle would leave pro football in 1991 having never quite recaptured that magic, but he became a running backs coach at Fresno State where he taught six 1,000-yard rushing running backs. He moved on to Wisconsin where he again coached with one of the most prolific rushing attacks in college football. He landed with the Carolina Panthers during their two-headed monster years, coached for the Browns, then went back to college ranks, eventually landing back at his old stomping grounds in Wisconsin.Best Wide Receiver Combine Ever - Matt Jones Yeah, yeah, Calvin Johnson! Julio Jones! I get it, they’re awesome and they both crushed the Combine. Calvin Marvin Jones Jr Jersey White , however, skipped out on agility drills, while Julio Jones posted some sick numbers everywhere but the short shuttle, where he scored just average. Here’s the thing, though, that’s not even the most impressive showing! Sick as it was, there’s still one better. Matt Jones, who played quarterback for Arkansas, would post elite speed, explosion, and agility scores while measuring in at over 6-foot-6 and 242 pounds! His short shuttle, by far his weakest drill, was still only just outside of elite range. Jones would flop in the NFL, never living up to his first-round draft selection and getting arrested multiple times for cocaine and alcohol related issues. Apparently he’s in radio now, back in Arkansas.Worst Wide Receiver Combine Ever - Robert Wilson Another guy you probably haven’t heard of, Robert Wilson came out of Florida A&M way back in 1997. He had a very short, relatively uneventful career for the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints, but his Combine was something else. Posting below average numbers in every event, could you even imagine a wide receiver who’s under 5-foot-11, only 176 pounds, and running a 4.82 40 finding ANY success in the NFL today? It’s kind of incredible he caught 32 passes for 431 yards over four seasons. Best Tight End Combine Ever - Mike Gesicki I labored over including Vernon Davis here instead. A trailblazer, Davis posted an insane 4.4 flat 40-yard dash time coming out, and that’s hard to top. When it came down to the Combine as a whole, however, it was hard to top Mike Gesicki. Unlike Davis, Gesicki wasn’t undersized at the position, but with the exception of the bench (he has 34 1/8” arms), he posted above 95th percentile in every drill. Gesicki’s talents were undeniable http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-ricky-wagner-jersey , and if he could block he likely would have been picked higher than 42nd overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. He currently plays for the Miami Dolphins and is expected to take on a bigger workload in Year 2.Worst Tight End Combine Ever - Dave Moore Like Tim Settle, Dave Moore was a big part of what influenced this research. There were admittedly a couple more players who had worse Combines than Dave Moore in the 90s, but none who had any real shot at the NFL anyway from what I was able to discern. So I’m taking a small liberty here. Moore was a seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins, but he wouldn’t last there long. That’s a bit ironic, considering he would last a very, very long time in the NFL. Moore’s Combine in 1992 was worse than what would be considered acceptable by a blocking specialist these days, but after flaming out quickly with Miami he would land in Tampa Bay, where he would spend 13 of his 15-year NFL career, ending in the best way it can playing in his first Pro Bowl in 2006 (as a Long Snapper). Not bad for a guy whose Combine was so bad it wasn’t even good for a long snapper, huh?Best Offensive Lineman Combine Ever - Taylor Lewan Some of these aren’t very difficult. Taylor Lewan’s 2014 Combine was easily and indisputably the best Combine for any offensive lineman at any position. Even if you include his only passable weight score, Lewan averaged over 90th percentile in every drill with his ‘worst’ on field drill being the vertical where he posted an 84th percentile 30.5” vert. Lewan is still playing at a Pro Bowl level for the team that drafted him, the Tennessee Titans.Worst Offensive Lineman Combine Ever - Mike Devlin Unlike most of these, I wanted to include the present day RAS card for Mike Devlin. You see, despite coming out in the 1993 draft, where he was selected in the fifth round by the Buffalo Bills, Mike Devlin’s Combine stands as a beacon, the worst Combine at his position of all time. Undersized even for the time, Devlin posted a 5.65 40-yard dash time and a vertical jump of only 21 inches. Somehow, Devlin would manage a decent NFL career, lasting for seven seasons. He even started a bit for the Arizona Cardinals from 1996-98. Devlin would take up coaching in 2000, making the leap to NFL position coach in 2006 and taking his present job as the offensive line coach for the Houston Texans in 2015. So it all worked out alright in the end! ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — When healthy, Robert Ayers has been a pretty productive pass rusher.The Detroit Lions could use some help in that area, and now the veteran defensive end has a chance to provide it.The Lions signed Ayers in their latest attempt to bolster their defensive front. Now entering his 10th NFL season, Ayers made 10 starts in each of the past two seasons with Tampa Bay. He has 35 sacks, including a career-high 9½ with the New York Giants in 2015.“For me, as a young guy, when I first got in the league Will Harris Detroit Lions Jersey , he was one of the veterans that I just paid a lot of attention to,” said Detroit linebacker Devon Kennard, who was with the Giants when Ayers was there. “Just how he handled his business, how he went about film and taking care of his body and stuff.”The Lions also announced Monday that they had waived cornerback Josh Okonye. They did not announce these moves until shortly after coach Matt Patricia had finished his news conference, so he was not available to comment on Ayers’ addition. Ayers would not speak with reporters after practice.Ayers was a first-round draft pick in 2009 by the Denver Broncos. He spent five seasons with them and then two with the Giants.Ayers has only played in 12 games in each of the past four seasons. He dealt with concussion and shoulder problems toward the end of last season, and he has also had ankle and pectoral muscle issues in the past few years. He turns 33 on Sept. 6.But in his 48 games over the past four seasons, Ayers had 23 sacks, and if he can keep pressuring the quarterback, he can help the Lions. Only three NFC teams had fewer sacks than Detroit last season, even though defensive end Ziggy Ansah had a dozen by himself. Kerry Hyder had eight sacks in 2016, but missed all of last season with an Achilles tendon injury.“We keep bringing more pieces in,” said defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois, himself a new addition after playing for New England last season. “(General manager) Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia see something, so they just want to keep bringing in people that can help the pass rush, so that’s a plus. They see that’s an area we need to improve in.”Ayers has started 31 games over the past three seasons.“He was a guy that showed me some love as a young guy, so I have a lot of respect for him and how he goes about his business,” Kennard said. “It’s a pleasure to have him as a teammate again.”NOTES: News of Odell Beckham Jr.’s big new contract made its way into the Lions’ locker room Monday, and Detroit receiver Golden Tate was certainly an interested party. “I like seeing it as a receiver. That’s my position, obviously,” Tate said. “The guys that got paid this offseason are big-time players, so I love seeing those guys get paid. Quite frankly, I hope everybody gets paid. This is a tough game to play in. It’s a tough game to play for a long time, so to hear about that Odell deal, I’m excited. Another guy I’m going to hit up for a vacation here soon.” Tate signed a five-year deal with the Lions in 2014. He said he’s focused on training camp and isn’t preoccupied about any negotiations for a new contract.
