Bradley Roby Torry Holt Jersey , Darian Stewart, Brandon Marshall and rookie returner DaeSean Hamilton for their game against the Houston Texans on Sunday.The Broncos activated safety Su'a Cravens off injured reserve and replaced receiver Isaiah McKenzie with River Cracraft on Friday.With right tackle Jared Veldheer returning from a knee injury, the Broncos (3-5) finally have the luxury of giving left tackle Garett Bolles some plays off to try to settle him down and break his holding habit. He leads the league with seven flags this season after an NFL-high 10 last year.The Broncos could either put Veldheer in his spot or move Billy Turner over from the right side.They'll replace Roby, who has struggled in his adjustment from nickel back to starter following the offseason trade of Aqib Talib to the Rams, with a mix of veterans Tramaine Brock and Adam Jones and rookie Isaac Yiadom.Along with Chris Harris Jr., those three will face Texans star DeAndre Hopkins and ex-teammate Demaryius Thomas, who was traded to Houston on Tuesday .Adams missed practice Friday for non-injury reasons that won't affect his playing status."He'll be back tonight. He had a family matter," coach Vance Joseph said. "We got Brock, we've got Adam and we've got Isaac, outside of Chris, obviously. We're fine. We're in good shape and we've got four healthy guys for the game."Joseph said pass rusher Shane Ray (ankle) looked good in practice and is ready to return to help Von Miller, Bradley Chubb and Shaq Barrett rush the passer Sunday."I've been proud of how Shane's rehabbed and how he's practiced the last two days. He looks fine and ready to go," Joseph said.Until now the Broncos were limited in their options for Bolles Orlando Pace Jersey , who keeps giving up pressures and sacks, and Roby, who keeps allowing too much cushion and big plays by not jamming receivers or playing the ball on deep passes.Three weeks ago, Joseph said he didn't fear losing the locker room over his patience with Bolles and Roby, saying, "They all understand we're playing the best players." He said Bolles and Roby had to fix their flaws in the glare of games rather than through a benching."We have some options now with Jared back and (with) Billy playing at a high level," Joseph said Friday. "We do have some options there, so we'll see how the game goes."As for Cravens, the Broncos are hoping he's a wild card for them over the last half of the season."He could be. His body type and skill set as a dime backer is valuable because he can play first, second and third down," Joseph said.With Marshall's lingering knee injury, linebacker Alexander Johnson looks to get his first action."He's a guy who wants to play, first of all Deacon Jones Jersey ," Joseph said. "He's got a unique body. He's a big body who can really run. We'll see how he helps us on teams, and obviously, if he's playing on defense, we'll see what happens there. He's a guy who was eager to play and help us."And it's starting to look as though wide receiver/returner Jordan Taylor, who has been on PUP, might go on season-ending IR next week because he's not quite 100 percent after offseason double-hip surgery."He's trying to get right for us, but he's really sore," Joseph said. "If he was right, he would be able to play, but he's not right yet."The Broncos listed rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) as questionable, but Joseph said that with the bye next week, it might be best to keep him out against the Texans (5-3). The Rams have said that the decision to draft former Memphis running back Darrell Henderson wasn’t a reflection on the status of starter Todd Gurley, but was only about Henderson bringing a different element to the offense. That element may be similar to what Alvin Kamara does in New Orleans.Rams General Manager Les Snead said in the team’s draft room that he was eager to get Henderson Eric Dickerson Jersey , telling coach Sean McVay and two other team staffers that he was concerned that if the Rams didn’t draft Henderson, some other team would and the Rams would find out the hard way what Henderson was capable of doing when they played against him.“The Memphis guy gives us a Kamara element,” Snead said. “We’ll play against him and you’ll feel it.”McVay said the Rams think Henderson will bring skills to the table beyond what Gurley does.“We’d identified him as a guy that has a specific skill set, that really can do some unique things for us offensively,” McVay said. “He was one of those guys that stood out for us, so we’re excited about getting him here.”Henderson had 214 carries for 1,909 yards last year at Memphis, a whopping 8.9 yards per carry. He didn’t catch the ball a lot, but when he did he made big plays, catching 19 passes for 295 yards, a 15.5-yard average. He also has experience as a kickoff returner. Expect McVay to find ways to get the ball in Henderson’s hands.

Every year Womens George Iloka Jersey , the the United States as a part of their “International Series,” which is designed to generate interest in the game across the globe. The International Series is over for 2018, but the host teams for the 2019 games have been announced, and the Minnesota Vikings may have a chance to play a game outside of the United States once again.The host teams for the games will be the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams, the Oakland (?) Raiders Dalvin Cook Jersey , and the Los Angeles Chargers.Because of the schedule rotation between the AFC and the NFC, the Vikings do have a road trip to play the Chargers already on the schedule for 2019. That means that the Vikings/Chargers game could end up being played in a city that is not Los Angeles.The International Series games for 2019 will feature four games that will be played in London, and one game that is slated to be played in Mexico City. The NFL was supposed to have a game in Mexico City this season, a Monday Night contest between the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs, but wound up having to relocate that game back to Los Angeles because the field at the stadium in Mexico City was a complete disaster.The Vikings have made the trek to London twice in the past few years. They served as the home team in 2013 at Wembley Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and as the road team in 2017 for a game against the Cleveland Browns at Twickenham Stadium.It honestly wouldn’t surprise me to see the game between the Chargers and the Vikings be the league’s next attempt for a game in Mexico City. The two Florida teams have pretty solid connections to the United Kingdom through their ownership groups, and the Jaguars are already committed to a London game for the next couple of years http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-pat-elflein-jersey , so it would likely be one of the three California teams that serves as the “home” team for a game in Mexico City. An AFC/NFC game between two teams that should. . .emphasis on should. . .still be pretty solid teams in 2019 would be the sort of game that the league would probably want to make a part of this International Series.Would you make the trek to Mexico City or London to see the Vikings in 2019?

e NFL Draft. I’m here to tell you why safety is important."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Keep Sounding PodcastPanthers 2019 NFL DraftCSR Film RoomThe Panthers’ biggest need in the 2019 NFL Draft is safetyNew Youth Taylor Moton Jersey ,94commentsThe Carolina Panthers have several needs heading into the NFL Draft. I’m here to tell you why safety is important.ESTShareTweetShareShareThe Panthers’ biggest need in the 2019 NFL Draft is safetyMike DiNovo-USA TODAY SportsThe Panthers enter this off season with several needs that they must address prior to the 2019 NFL Season. They could use at least one offensive tackle, probably two or more defensive ends/edge rushers, maybe a back up quarterback, and some depth at other positions. Currently their biggest need is at safety, and I believe that should be their top priority in the draft. I can already hear the counterpoints, such as that Carolina’s defense is built on the front seven pressure, or that the offensive line keeping Cam Newton upright is paramount Stitched Taylor Moton Jersey , or that they can address safety in free agency. However, I’m not simply calling for a strong safety, I want a true, natural free safety. It is a need, and I think realistically they will address it. And here’s why:Free safety is more important now than everThe NFL is transitioning to a more offensive focused game, specifically in regards to penalties, which means the passing game is as explosive as ever. While premium defensive line play is out there Youth Curtis Samuel Jersey , most of the elite quarterbacks can still get passes completed and make big plays. I believe that investing in the secondary parallel to the defensive front seven is paramount. This is no longer a game where a high level front seven can mask a mediocre secondary.This defense hasn’t had high end free safety play in some timeIn 2018, the defense got ripped to shreds by some of the more high octane offenses. And part of it was they seemed to be using multiple people as the true free safety in the defense, with none of them doing it particularly well. Obviously, the pass rush had something to do with this, but a team’s corners can benefit greatly from having help over the top. They’ve made it work in the past with a high end defensive front seven and just enough on the back end to still be somewhat successful, but there was always high turnover and moving parts from year to year, and this time around the team needs to build on that strong front seven to possibly make that work again. However Stitched Curtis Samuel Jersey , there’s another point that needs to be addressed.ContextIf this were Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney’s first year, they could potentially go all in on the defensive line in the draft for the long haul. However, this is not the case going into 2019. They are on the hot seat, and they have one free agency class and one draft class to turn this team around. Cam Newton is on the final two years of his contract, and this team could benefit from a rebuild but there is no indication that this approach will happen in 2019. They need to swing for the fences to fix this. And one of the biggest things that can help turn a defense around is a high end free safety, especially if they also go after defensive ends in the draft. Many DEs do not enter the league and make an impact right away, where defensive backs often do. They will be trying to turn this defense around THIS year Youth Christian McCaffrey Jersey , and I think going after your free safety of the future in the first or second round will be more effective than doubling down on pass rushers in the draft (a position I expect them to go after heavily in free agency). You build your team to beat the teams in your division, and the NFC South is full of passing offenses that know how to shred zone defenses and nullify pass rush. A strong secondary that disrupts that timing can help alleviate those pass rushing issues.I’m sure we will spend plenty of time in the next few months looking at the draft and how a position will impact this team. But unless they can manage to nab a high end free safety in free agency, sign me up for one in the 2019 NFL Draft.

I took it as hyperbole from one of the most flamboyant players in NFL history.I mean it is Smitty we are talking about.

Your second ‘flavor’ is the modern highlight. Instead of live audio it instead plays music over the mash up of plays. Some of the modern versions use parts of different songs but they stick to one genre, usually hip hop or head banging cookie monster. Others like this one simply make the highlight reel fit the length of single song. Sometimes I really hate the song selection. This one is an exception, a hip hop song called Sicko Mode Stitched Christian McCaffrey Jersey , fits the reel pretty well.‘Sicko Mode’ by QC Panthers MediaI really wish I had a head banging cookie monster version to offer as a third option but you will have to do without for now (until someone makes one). So are you as stoked as I am to see Moore’s sophomore season? How can you not be after seeing those videos? Steve Smith’s spirit animal baby! Or is Smith actually Moore’s spirit animal? Hmmm…I’m not sure how the analogy works but I like it! Hell I’m thinking of starting a weekly ‘spirit animal’ award to the player who best exemplified the spirit of Steve Smith in the game. So if that doesn’t get you fired up I got nothing for you.

FLOWERY BRANCH Stitched Steve Bartkowski Jersey , Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons‘ injury-ravaged defense.The second-year pass rusher makes a good point. Atlanta earned a playoff berth the past two years with a mostly healthy defense, but it’s a different story this season.The Falcons (1-3) are reeling now that Grady Jarrett, their best interior lineman, is the fourth defensive starter to miss Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh (1-2-1).“It sucks not having Grady out there, but we can’t be sad, because the Steelers won’t be sad about it,” McKinley said. “They won’t.”Jarrett’s ankle injury comes with the team’s best linebacker, Deion Jones, already out another six weeks and starting safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen done for the season.After allowing 80 points combined and losing their past two games in the closing seconds, the Falcons rank third-worst in scoring, fifth-worst in total yards and second-worst in third-down percentage. They’re a banged-up group that can’t seem to catch a break.Starting end Vic Beasley is nursing a sore ankle and has been limited in practice this week. Reserve end Derrick Shelby has been limited with a groin injury and hasn’t played since the Week 2 win over Carolina.Injuries at safety has given starting jobs to Damontae Kazee, who played in 16 games as a reserve last year, and rookie Isaiah Oliver, who played exclusively at cornerback in his last two seasons at Colorado.Coaches have leaned heavily on Kazee to tone down his aggressiveness following a penalty in preseason and an ejection for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton.And the staff is working with Oliver, who made a big mistake last week against Cincinnati. Coordinator Marquand Manuel called zone coverage, and Oliver was playing too far in front when A.J. Green dashed behind him for the winning touchdown catch.“Going forward, I told the guys that you can’t line up without talking to one person,” Manuel said. “It’s the growing pains that you have to go through, but that’s a part of it. It’s new guys talking to new guys Youth Steve Bartkowski Jersey , and guys that have experience, we need them to talk more. And the guys that don’t have it, we need you to talk to guys that have it. That’s where communication starts.”Losing Jarrett is substantial enough that the Falcons will use a three-man rotation of Jack Crawford and Terrell McClain, a pair of longtime veterans, and Michael Bennett, who was signed this week after injuries allowed him to play in just one game last year with Jacksonville, to fill his spot.Rookie Deadrin Senat, a third-round pick, will take most of the snaps at nose tackle, where Crawford and McClain have split starts this year. Coach Dan Quinn added that third-string end Steven Means, signed last month, might have to help out on the inside, too.Trying to restore some order for his defense, Quinn has spent the past few days emphasizing better fundamentals in tackling, ball-hawking, pass rush and communication.“None of those are scheme-related,” Quinn said. “None of those are wholesale changes. It’s a matter of us doing specifically those four things really well, and that’s why I think you’ll see this group get better quickly because of those four things.”There was some progress last week. Missed tackles dropped from 15 the week before to “single digits,” as Quinn described it Stitched Brett Favre Jersey , against Cincinnati. Kazee got his first career interception, and McKinley, after missing the Week 3 loss to New Orleans with a groin injury, returned to have his first three-sack game.Linebacker Duke Riley says McKinley brought some swagger back to the defense.“We can’t make the excuses that we don’t have the guys,” Riley said. “We have the right guys in the room. We’ve just got to own up to it and be closers.”NOTES: RBs Devonta Freeman (knee) and Tevin Coleman (shin) and WR Mohamed Sanu (hip) had full participation in Thursday’s practice. WR Julio Jones (hand, ankle) is expected to play despite being listed as limited. Other players listed as limited Thursday: DE Vic Beasley Jr. (ankle), DE Derrick Shelby (groin) and LB Foye Oluokun (ankle). A two-sport athlete who decided on baseball."Welcome to Forgotten Falcons, a 2019 offseason series where we remember some quality players who have been largely forgotten by the fanbase over the years. Today we take a look at Brian Jordan, a well-known figure in Atlanta whose brief NFL career is eclipsed by his accomplishments on the baseball field.Time in Atlanta: 1989 - 1991Stats: 5 interceptions, 4 sacks, 4 fumble recoveries, 2 safeties, 20 punt returns, 169 punt return yards, 8 kick returns, 127 kick return yards.Why you should remember himThe Falcons flirted with a pair of two-sport athletes in the late eighties, selecting Atlanta legend Deion Sanders fifth overall in the 1989 NFL Draft, and signing Brian Jordan later that year after he was cut by the Buffalo Bills. While Sanders would play for both the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons at one point, his Hall of Fame career was charted in the NFL. Jordan chose the other direction Youth Brett Favre Jersey , accepting a three-year contract from the St. Louis Cardinals to abandon football and play baseball full-time. He flourished at the MLB level, playing 15 seasons and returning to Atlanta in a roundabout way — he roamed the outfield for the Braves from 1999-2001, and finished his professional sports career in a Braves uniform for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Brian Jordan still enjoys a visible presence in Atlanta as a Braves analyst, but his brief career in a Falcons jersey often flies under the radar. Selected in the 7th round of the 1989 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills as a defensive back, Jordan was a training camp cut and subsequently snapped up by the Falcons. He found his way onto the field for four games in the ‘89 season, but started 15 games at strong safety in the 1990 and 1991 seasons — the latter earning him All-Pro honors. He tallied 5 interceptions across that span, and was also given a crack on special teams returning punts and kickoffs. Brian Jordan made two playoff appearances with the Falcons, picking off quarterback Mark Rypien in Atlanta’s eventual loss to Washington in the 1991 NFC Divisional game. It would prove to be his final game in the NFL.During his Atlanta Falcons tenure he was also bouncing around the St. Louis Cardinals’ minor league affiliates, having been selected 30th overall in the first-round of the 1988 MLB Draft. Itching to secure his full commitment to Major League Baseball, the Cardinals finally offered Jordan a multi-year deal with one large caveat: walk away from the game of football. And so Brian Jordan’s NFL career came to a close after three seasons, the remainder of his time as a professional athlete spent with the Cardinals, Braves, Dodgers, and Rangers. It’s pretty mind-blowing that the Atlanta Falcons had a pair of two-sport athletes in Deion Sanders and Brian Jordan on the same defense; a quirk in Falcons history that likely won’t occur ever again. Jordan’s Falcons’ legacy is one of a promising strong safety opting for the financial assurances and stability of Major League Baseball. He was a productive member of Atlanta’s secondary, but his decision to devote his talents to baseball full-time is why his history with the Falcons often goes overlooked — hence his inclusion in this series. Not everyone can occupy the rare air of a Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders, but Brian Jordan carved out a splendid career in his own right with his dedication to professional baseball.

Takeaways from Cardinals Flight Plan Episode 5Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThis newest addition to the Cardinals’ offseason videos was a solid one, with a good look at the team and their preparation process for the draft and the season.Here’s what we learned from the latest episode of Cards Flight Plan:#1.

Kliff’s first NFL ScheduleKingsbury’s just a rookie head coach in both his title AND in the NFL.Bidwill took time to break it down with him (interestingly Keim was absent at the time) but it was a reminder of how green the new Cardinals coach really is#5. Cardinals getting a little...Greedy?One of the prospect reports about a player the Cardinals were scouting was read aloud with some of the following comments:“Sticky, eliminates opponent, quick to get head around, needs to get stronger more physical and pro bowl corner Youth Chad Williams Jersey , a teams #1 corner, his straight line is excellent, drops weight and stops as the route breaks”Hmmm...when you add is up and look at a non-physical corner who’s projected to be a pro-bowler that fits LSU’s Greedy Williams to a tee.Does that mean Arizona acquires him?Perhaps, perhaps not.Last year Steve Wilks was likely watching film on Colorado CB Isaiah Oliver and he was never taken by the team, but the LSU connection and some mock drafts have had him going anywhere from the top 10 to the top of the 2nd round.6. “Guys there’s going to be a trade...”What a teaser!Is it too much to read into that the Cardinals finished their video with the words from last year in which they selected Josh Rosen in the 2018 draft?Could they be....hinting at something?Or is it just replaying a key moment from last year as a teaser?We won’t have to wait long to find out.

It’s fun to watch. Sammy Watkins had a couple today. I told you: when he gets the ball, it’s like giving it to a running back, he’s so physical. I wouldn’t just say it’s the quarterback. That’s not fair to Smith for the great job he did when he was here. He is a part of it, too. Patrick has done a nice job, I’m not slighting that at all, but Alex did too when he was here.”ATLANTA Juan Thornhill Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , GA - DECEMBER 4: Head Coach Andy Reid (L) of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrates with Alex Smith #11 after sceuring the game clinching first down against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome on December 4, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesReid was exactly right: the Chiefs do excel in yards after catch.They are, in fact, right at the top of league in 2018, and — like Reid implied — were among the best in 2017, too.This shouldn’t be a surprise.No rational person has ever argued that Smith tended toward throwing long passes.To be sure, he did more of it in 2017 than he had done in previous seasons, but the mindset to chuck it deep on higher-risk throws simply isn’t part of his football DNA. It only follows that in order for Smith to throw for over 4,000 yards in 2017, he’d need a little help from his friends — and Smith got it.Neither should we — as Reid said — take the ability of Chiefs receivers to make yards after catch to mean that Mahomes is any less of a quarterback.The Chiefs are actually better at YAC with Mahomes in 2018 — and this shouldn’t be a surprise, either.Any quarterback who is an effective passer outside the pocket — something that’s true about Mahomes, but isn’t true about Smith — will tend to find more receivers in open spaces, because receivers are freelancing to help their quarterback make a play.That inexorably leads to an increase in yards after catch — and for Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , it has.Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsMahomes, of course, was also asked about the number of touchdowns he’s thrown so far compared to Smith last year.He wasn’t interested in taking all the credit.“I think just diversifying the ball around, guys making plays, really running the scheme how we’re supposed to run it,” Mahomes said. “Coach Reid is calling great plays and we’re getting those chances and those plays when we can get in the end zone.“For me, it’s all about just getting the ball out of my hand. That’s the biggest thing for me. As long as I’m getting the ball out of my hand, there’s a good chance good things are happening. The offensive line is protecting really, really well, so I’m just getting it out of my hands and getting it to the playmakers and they’re scoring touchdowns.”Over the five years of the Alex Smith Debate, I often compared it to the trench warfare of World War I.The opposing sides would rise up out of their trenches and race across no-man’s-land with fixed bayonets, fighting hand-to-hand in the muck.And at the end of the day, thousands would lay dead and little ground would be gained by either side.And for some Chiefs fans, the debate is still raging.Otherwise Juan Thornhill Jersey Cheap , reporters wouldn’t be asking these kinds of questions.But I see no point in continuing it.It started because some fans thought the Chiefs gave up too much for the player Smith was.They weren’t wrong, either.Smith’s cost in draft capital and salary over his career in Kansas City was indeed high when it is compared to his on-field production.But that wasn’t Smith’s only benefit to the Chiefs franchise.With Smith, the Chiefs bought stability at the quarterback position.For five seasons, the Chiefs didn’t have to worry about their quarterback, which allowed them to build the team that is on the field today — including Patrick Mahomes and the playmakers that surround him.Quite simply, the Chiefs couldn’t have done that if they’d had to expend precious high draft picks on the quarterback position over those years — and without Smith, they would have.So in 2017, they were in a perfect position to make the move to get the quarterback they wanted and put him in an ideal situation — which included a year in the film room with Smith.In 2013, it was a valid argument that Smith wasn’t worth two second-round picks the Chiefs gave to get him.But it isn’t 2013 anymore.In 2018, we should understand that Smith’s acquisition is one of the big reasons that Patrick Mahomes is a Chief.Today, the two second-round picks the Chiefs gave for Smith — and the salary they paid him — look like the deal of the century.I have no illusions that anything I say about this will bring the debate to its conclusion.But I do think it’s time to at least consider a cease-fire — if not an outright armistice.
till be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Those rubbing their hands like a cartoon villain at the thought of Rodgers hobbling around without a knee brace will be SOL when the Los Angeles Rams play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Packers haven’t had the best season and without Rodgers Darrell Henderson Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , they’d be winless, in my opinion. Rodgers isn’t the glue that keeps the team together. He’s the metaphorical dad whose trying to salvage the piece of crap dollhouse his idiot children made. This was a fourth-and-six situation which Rodgers converted using his legs. Rodgers hopes to be without a knee brace against the Rams. This game featured a slightly smaller brace than what he used in previous weeks. No matter what his issues are, Rodgers always overcomes and makes plays happen. Rodgers’ pocket almost immediately shrinks with the blitz from the outside linebacker. He somehow makes a seemingly impossible 30-yard throw — on the run — to Valdes-Scantling for 30 yards. Rodgers is known for making the big plays under pressure. But pressure doesn’t always mean Rodgers is going to make that must-have play. There were quite a few instances against San Francisco where Rodgers either killed the play with a spiked pass or thrown away ball. Adequate pressure or not, Rodgers is the Green Bay offense and he’s the reason they’ve won every game this season. He led the charge in the second half against the Lions and cut the final score down to eight points (Detroit led 24-0 midway through the third quarter). The Rams passing defense has allowed nine passing touchdowns in the last four games. Like Detroit, LA can apply the pressure consistently and let Rodgers and the Packers make their own mistakes. Rodgers put up more than 400 yards against the Lions. But most of his yards came when he was trying to make a second-half comeback. Keeping up with DevonteThe defensive back does a great job keeping man coverage on Devonte Adams, which prevents a touchdown on a critical third-down stop. Adams is always a threat, but in the last two weeks, he’s been a go-to favorite for Rodgers. The receiver has a combined 28 targets (19 catches) and has 272 receiving yards with three touchdowns.Now compare that with this fourth quarter on third-and-goal from the six yard-line. There is just enough separation between Adams and the defender and just enough height on the ball for Adams to make the touchdown to eventually tie the game. I have no idea what in the hell the defender over Adams is doing. Like a wireless controller, his brain seems to have lost connection because Adams runs through the large gap between the corner and the safety Los Angeles Rams Jerseys 2019 , who walks down and takes the outside away from Adams who slants back inside for the score. Be aware of GrahamJimmy Graham had his first 100-yard day against San Francisco and it’s because of plays like this. The linebackers come up the field on the fake-handoff and no one accounts for the biggest receiver on the field. The Cover 1 safety shifts to Rodgers right, leaving Graham room to run. Big defensive miscue. The second-year head coach is making a Super Bowl run against some of the longest-tenured coaches in the league."As the NFL’s regular season came to a close, the annual purge of head coaches led to a unified search for the eight teams looking for a replacement: find the next Sean McVay. In the most simplified way, these teams may see themselves as the 2016 Los Angeles Rams team, a poorly-coached group with remarkable under-performance and an abysmal record to boot. Their goal is to be more like the 2017 Rams club, who saw one of the greatest single-season offensive turnaround the league has ever seen, as well as winning seven more games than the prior season.And while the Kliff Kingsbury’s and Matt LaFleur’s of the world were getting hired to “be the next Sean McVay,” the sharpest point of criticism was that the prototype himself hadn’t even won a playoff game. A few weeks later, McVay is looking to be the youngest Super Bowl-winning head coach Darrell Henderson black jersey , all while beating some of the most experienced head coaches in the league.A head coaching job in the NFL is a hard job to keep. Twenty of the current thirty-two head coaches have been hired in the last three offseasons. Coaches have a remarkably short leash for a league that doesn’t boast a lot of season-long parity.Say what you wan’t about Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. Despite having the constant vote of confidence from owner Jerry Jones, Garret has had his share of ups-and-downs since taking over in 2010. He’s the 5th-longest tenured head coach in the league today (tied with Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll) and the 2nd-longest in the NFC (again, tied with Carroll). McVay and the Rams beat Garrett and the Cowboys 30-22. This was McVay’s first playoff win as a head coach, and the first Rams playoff win in 15 years.For the NFC Championship, McVay and the Rams took on the New Orleans Saints, coached by Sean Payton. Payton was hired back in 2006, making him the longest-tenured coach in the NFC and 2nd-longest in the NFL. For reference, the top song on Billboard at the time of his hire was Laffy Taffy by D4L, soon to be replaced by Grillz by Nelly and the other half-dozen people who were featured in that song. Payton’s resume boasts a Coach of the Year Award Darrell Henderson Jersey Mens , several division titles, as well as a Super Bowl. Again, McVay and the Rams came out on top, erasing a 13-0 deficit and winning, 26-23.Sean McVay has already accomplished a lot in his second season as a head coach. His sharpest criticism, which was that he hadn’t won in the playoffs, has been put to bed. But for his final act, to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as the confetti flies inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, he has to face his toughest test. Bill Belichick and the Patriots are like the final boss of North American sports. In the 19 years of the Belichick era Darrell Henderson Jersey Cheap , the Patriots have made it to the Super Bowl 9 times. He has an entire hand’s worth of Super Bowl rings. He’s been named Coach of the Year 3 times, though it’s easy to argue that hes often overlooked, seeing as his bar is his own past accomplishments. While some instances may skirt the rules, Belichick’s gameplanning is the stuff of legends. Countless times over the years, we’ve heard stories about the Patriots isolating and shutting down their opponents’ greatest offensive threat and exploiting defensive weaknesses. And with the extra week to prepare, it would be fair to assume that both coaches will be operating at their best. That’s exactly what McVay needs to be if he is going to become a Super Bowl-winning head coach.
overall choice Isaiah Prince Jersey nfl draft , and many expect them to use it to address their need for a franchise quarterback with Ryan Fitzpatrick serving as a bridge.But the Dolphins also need help along the defensive line and have done “extensive investigating” of Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary, Armando Salguero of the reports.Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has a familiarity with Gary as Ross spends a lot of time in Ann Arbor, supporting the Wolverines.Gary made 3.5 sacks in 12 games last season, and in three seasons at Michigan, he made 119 tackles, 23 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. He ran a 4.58 in the 40, so his production hasn’t always matched his physical ability.But Gary can play the five-technique, three-technique or stand up on the edge.“I played base end, but you’re able to throw me inside to D-tack. I could work over a guard,” Gary said Infant Isaiah Prince Jersey , via Salguero. “I could stand up, rush off the edge. I could really do anything anybody wants me to.” The NFL Draft is less than a month away and as free agency slows, the focus turns more and more to the Draft and the prospects who could be selected during the three day event. At NFL.com, draft..."The NFL Draft is less than a month away and as free agency slows, the focus turns more and more to the Draft and the prospects who could be selected during the three day event. At NFL.com, draft analyst Chad Reuter published a four-round mock draft on Thursday, projecting the picks for all 32 teams throughout the first two days and into the third.He starts the Miami Dolphins’ four-round mock with a trade, seeing the team move up to the ninth-overall pick to select Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins. He writes of the selection, “If the Giants pass on Haskins at No. 6, the Dolphins can find their future starter and have bridge quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick run things in 2019 (or until the team thinks Haskins is ready).”The move does make sense as it gets Miami a quarterback now Football Isaiah Prince Jersey , and the trade jumps them in front of the Denver Broncos, who would likely be the next team after the Giants to select a quarterback. The trade feels odd because it is with the Buffalo Bills, meaning it is an AFC East division rival with whom Miami is trading. Do the Dolphins like Haskins enough to make that move? Would the Bills fall back while allowing a division rival to select their quarterback of the future?Just to close the swap of picks, the Bills, according to Reuter, would then use the 13th pick to select Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver. If Miami stays at 13 and both quarterbacks, Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray and Haskins, are off the board, Oliver would become a potential target for the Dolphins.In the second round, Reuter has Miami using the 48th pick on Michigan edge rusher Chase Winovich. He explains the pick Isaiah Prince Miami Dolphins Jerseys , writing, “Miami’s pass-rushing contingent is undergoing major changes this offseason with Cameron Wake and Andre Branch no longer on the team and Robert Quinn being traded to the Cowboys. Winovich could pair with 2017 first-round pick Charles Harris on the outside.”The Dolphins’ third-round pick, the 78th overall selection, belongs to the Bills in this scenario, with Buffalo adding Notre Dame tight end Alize Mack here. To move from 13 to nine in the first round, the Dolphins would need - according to the infamous “draft pick value” chart - to provide 200 points for the teams to equal out (pick 13 is worth 1,150 points, pick nine is 1,350 points). The 78th pick in the draft is worth exactly 200 points, so Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , at least according to the chart, this would be exactly the compensation needed to make the trade.After no third-round selection, Miami uses their fourth-round pick, number 116 overall, to add USC tackle Chuma Edoga. Reuter writes, “Edoga lacks the height and pure athleticism that some NFL offensive line coaches desire, but he has the length and want-to to get the job done on the edge.” Miami lost right tackle Ja’Wuan James in free agency this year, and in a year when the team is expected to focus on their foundation as they rebuild, adding a tackle here could make sense.According to Reuter, Miami’s first four rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft would look like:First round - 9th overall - Dwayne Haskins Super Bowl Isaiah Prince Jersey , QB, Ohio State (Trade with Bills)Second round - 48th overall - Chase Winovich, Edge, MichiganThird round - 78th overall - No pick (Trade with Bills)Fourth round - 116th overall - Chuma Edoga, T, USCHow would you react to those picks? Did Miami make the right move to trade up for Haskins?

KANSAS CITY Rashad Fenton Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , Mo. (AP) —ed that showed the NFL’s reigning rushing champion knocking over and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel hallway in February.The team issued a statement shortly after the NFL had placed Hunt on its Commissioner Exemption List that said the running back lied when asked about the incident by team officials. The team said “the video today confirms that fact. We are releasing Kareem immediately.”Hunt was at the Chiefs’ facility Friday in preparation for Sunday’s trip to Oakland, but he was excused and sent home shortly after TMZ posted the video online. It shows Hunt being restrained several times by friends before pushing a woman to the ground, where he proceeds to kick her.Police were called to the scene during the Feb. 10 incident, no charges were filed. The police did not respond to several requests for comment Friday night.“Earlier this year, we were made aware of an incident involving running back Kareem Hunt. At that time, the National Football League and law enforcement initiated investigations into the issue,” the Chiefs said. “As part of our internal discussions with Kareem, several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions.”The Chiefs and the NFL have been aware of Hunt’s incident since it occurred Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , but much like the case involving former Ravens running back Ray Rice, the video brought a new dimension to the case. It showed Hunt lunging toward a woman and several others in the hotel hallway, and the second-year pro being restrained several times before knocking two people down.While no charges were filed from the altercation, two police reports were created. Hunt is listed as the suspect in one of them and a woman, Abigail Ottinger, is the suspect in the other one.Hunt also was involved in a June incident, according to TMZ, in which he allegedly punched a man at an Ohio resort. The man Hunt struck declined to press charges.“I want to apologize for my actions. I deeply regret what I did Infant Rashad Fenton Jersey ,” Hunt said in a statement issued to several outlets shortly after he was released. “I hope to move on from this.”When asked about the incidents in training camp, Hunt said “I’ve learned from it.” When asked to elaborate on what he learned, he replied: “Just be in the right place at the right time.”Hunt led the NFL in rushing as a rookie with 1,327 yards and eight touchdowns in helping Kansas City make the playoffs. He had run for 824 yards this season, with seven touchdowns rushing and seven more receiving, in helping the Chiefs to a 9-2 start and a lead in the AFC West.Spencer Ware is expected to take over as the lead running back.Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt was asked several times about Hunt’s incidents in the offseason, and he acknowledged that “young men are not always going to make the best decisions.”“We have a strong support system, both with the coaching staff and also our player development that works with young guys and talks to them about the situations that they want to be in Rashad Fenton Jersey nfl draft ,” Clark Hunt said during training camp. “Obviously he had a very big year on the field last year. I’m sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won’t be in those kind of situations in the future.”He won’t be as a member of the Chiefs.Domestic violence has been a major issue in the NFL in recent years, one that struck home in Kansas City in 2012 when Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend before killing himself at the team’s practice facility. Belcher was later found to have suffered from CTE.The most memorable incident came in 2014, when a video showed Rice punched and knocked out his then-fiancee in an elevator in an Atlantic City hotel. Rice was originally suspended two games by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who later was heavily criticized for such a light penalty after the video was released.Rice soon after was suspended indefinitely by the league. He won an appeal but was released by the Ravens, and the three-time Pro Bowl running back never returned to the NFL.Last year, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended for six games by Goodell after the league concluded after a yearlong investigation that he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with his girlfriend at the time.The league has implemented a stronger domestic violence policy, but incidents have continued to make news. Just last weekend, the 49ers cut linebacker Reuben Foster when he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence — he has since signed with Washington but remains on the NFL’s exempt list.Hunt had exhibited a pattern of questionable behavior dating to his college days at Toledo Rashad Fenton Jersey Womens , where he shattered school records but also was suspended his junior season for violating team rules.The Chiefs chose him in the third round of last year’s NFL draft, and he was poised to spend the season as the backup before Ware went down with a season-ending knee injury in the preseason. Hunt was thrust into the starting role and fumbled on his very first carry in a game in New England, but bounced back to have one of the best seasons in franchise history.He had six games of at least 100 yards rushing and helped Kansas City win consecutive division titles for the first time, a season that ultimately landed Hunt in the Pro Bowl.Hunt was off to another good start this season, his rushing yardage putting him fourth in the NFL and his touchdown total trailing only the Rams’ Todd Gurley II and the Saints’ Alvin Kamara.He was also well-liked in the locker room, despite the off-the-field distractions from this past offseason. Hunt had joined quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and several other Chiefs players in attending Sporting Kansas City’s playoff game on Thursday night. Update: 1:05 p.m. Arrowhead TimeChiefs general manager Brett Veach went into greater detail during an availability with the Kansas City media:Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach went on local radio station WHB and was asked about the video of Patrick Mahomes playing basketball that recently hit social media.ESPN’s Adam Teicher transcribed Veach’s words regarding the video.“The Kingdom can be assured: No more basketball for Pat . . . We were able to nip that in the bud,” Veach said Rashad Fenton Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , per Teicher.Back on Tuesday, I called the video the best and scariest thing you’d watch all day, and I stand by that. While it is a cool thing for fans to know that Mahomes is good at everything and one of the best pure athletes in the world, there is absolutely no reason to be risking what matters the most—his NFL career and a potential $200 million contract in a year’s time.Mahomes is the league’s most valuable player; losing a season to rec basketball would be a travesty.San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman weighed in late Thursday morning.What do you think?
the Miami Dolphins might not last long.After all Kiko Alonso Jersey , they are his eighth team. And for now, at least, he is glad to be their starting quarterback.“I’m going to come in from day one and act like and be the starting quarterback for this organization, until they tell me I’m not,” Fitzpatrick said Tuesday, one day after signing a two-year, $11 million deal.He replaces the departed Ryan Tannehill and becomes a caretaker until the Dolphins draft a franchise quarterback, perhaps next month but more likely in 2020.Most of the Dolphins’ offseason moves under new coach Brian Flores have positioned them for a poor season, followed by a high draft pick and big splash in free agency next year. In choosing to sign with the Dolphins Matt Haack Jersey , Fitzpatrick said he was not fazed by their bleak immediate outlook.More Miami Dolphins newsDolphins sign veteran lineman Jordan Mills to 1-year, $3 million contractJosh Rosen believes he can be Dan Marino-type franchise quarterback with DolphinsDolphins new QB Josh Rosen bids goodbye to Arizona, congratulates Kyler MurrayDolphins bolster defense, provide Josh Rosen with another shot to be franchise QBDolphins acquire QB Josh Rosen from Cardinals for 62nd pick, 5th-rounder in 2020“I’ve been in pretty much every situation you can imagine in my career,” he said. “There are 32 of these starting gigs in the NFL, and this is one of them. The opportunity to be one of those 32 guys is an amazing privilege and honor. When they approached me about signing on, I was so excited about the chance to get on the field and play.”This year Fitzpatrick, 36 http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-hull-jersey , could become the first quarterback to throw a pass for eight teams. Always plagued by inconsistency, he started seven games for Tampa Bay last season and had four 400-yard passing games before losing the No. 1 job to Jameis Winston.His average of 9.6 yards per attempt for the year was the NFL’s highest since Kurt Warner in 2000, and he said he is eager to keep playing.“I’ve been very fortunate,” he said. “Physically I feel great. For having a 14-year career and as many games as I’ve played, physically I feel probably as good as I could ever hope for.”Fitzpatrick, who has seven children, is changing teams for the fifth time since 2013, but he’s not sorry about all the moving.“I’ve loved it,” he said. “As a family we’ve looked at it as an adventure every time we’ve moved. We’ve had such a great time with it Womens Charles Harris Jersey , meeting new people. The friendships we’ve made have truly been amazing for us. It’s not something I would change.”Despite the latest relocation, to sometimes steamy South Florida, Fitzpatrick said he will keep his trademark beard. It made it through two seasons in Tampa, which is nearly as hot.His new teammates include safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who last season filed for a federal trademark of the nickname “FitzMagic.” The Dolphins’ new QB also has that nickname but does not anticipate any issues.“I haven’t talked to or met Minkah yet,” Ryan said. “First we’ve got to figure out if we’re related.

They could be focusing on potential dynamic players, but there is no way to know what position they are coveting the most. This front office and new coaching staff are keeping things very close to their chest and not trying to tip their hand in any direction.There are several players believed to be on their radar Xavien Howard Jersey , but there is also thought that the team could be looking to trade back in the draft, add more picks - especially if they can get 2020 draft picks - and find a good player later in the first round. NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero reported Thursday in the build up to the 8pm ET start of the Draft, teams around the league seem to believe Miami would prefer that trade back.Ian Rapoport, another NFL Media reporter, then retweeted Pelissero’s video tweet and added that the Dolphins are fielding calls about a potential trade back.Could the Dolphins turn the 13th pick into more than just that one selection? Would they be able to add a 2020 pick, continuing to build on what is expected to already be a 12 pick Draft? Tonight could be fun for the Dolphins and the fans - either with Miami adding a key talent, or the team adding more picks and a key talent.
rs “unlikely to play” tonight Well Taylor Rapp Jersey Cheap , in what was the most expected move, the Los Angeles Rams will likely be missing star CB Marcus Peters for tonight’s game on Thursday Night Football:This was expected as the Rams dodged a major bullet. Peters’ injury seemed much more severe when it occurred, though things point to minimal missed time and a quick recovery.With the recent injury to CB Aqib Talib being much worse than initially believed, this is much welcomed news. Talib was placed on injured reserve meaning he’ll miss a minimum of eight games.With the top two cornerbacks on the Rams’ depth chart injured, look for nickel CB Nickell Robey-Coleman and Sam Shields to be the starters in base defense. CB’s Troy Hill and recently brought-up Dominique Hatfield will be counted on too. Lastly, expect to see some movement from safeties Lamarcus Joyner and Blake Countess too.Stay tuned for the confirmation later when inactives are released. ATLANTA (AP) — Hey, have you guys been here before?If you’re a New England Patriot, the answer pretty much is “all the time.”If you play for the Rams, the reply basically is “never in my life.”So if experience is a factor in Sunday’s Super Bowl, the overwhelming edge is with the 2½-point favorites from Foxborough who are 5-3 in NFL title games with Tom Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick in the hoodie on the sideline.The Rams, whose past two Super trips were representing St. Louis in 2000 and ’02, have four players who have gotten this far. New England has four on its defensive line alone.“Probably, throughout the week, it gives them an advantage,” Rams tackle Andrew Whitworth says — and he’s finishing up his 13th NFL season, though it’s his first that ends in February.“They kind of know this week. They know when things are a little anxious, when to kind of Rob Havenstein Jersey , ‘Hey, turn it on and get ready to play.’ They probably have a process and plan for the week.”Athletes in every sport talk about how helpful a comfort zone can be. It’s even more pronounced when it accompanies events such as the Super Bowl, which, for better or worse, transcends football.Brady and most of his teammates, in their third straight visit, barely flinch at all the attention, media demands and alterations to the norm they encounter during Super Bowl week — although they were taken aback somewhat by the cacophony and circus atmosphere of opening night on Monday. Aside from Aqib Talib, C.J. Anderson, Brandin Cooks and Sam Shields, for the Rams this is uncharted territory.Rams coach Sean McVay tends to dismiss that theory, however. Using quarterback Jared Goff as an example, McVay could have been speaking for his entire squad, which has made a sensational turnaround in his two seasons in charge.“He’s an unfazed quarterback,” McVay says. “I think his way to have success and handle adversity the same demonstrates that poise and confidence you want from your quarterback.”Nowhere is the experience matchup more uneven than at QB. At 41, Brady already is the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. Goff is 24 and one of the youngest.Well, maybe nowhere is an exaggeration Authentic David Edwards Jersey , because Belichick, at 66, could become the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl. He has worked 41 postseason games, with 30 victories, most among head coaches in NFL history. He’s the only head coach with five Super Bowl rings.McVay is half his age and in his first NFL title game, the youngest Super Bowl head man.Rams President Kevin Demoff hears all of that so-called evidence, then cites so many positives about McVay that he sounds like the next dominant coach.Sunday will be a powerful acid test for McVay and his team.Some other things to look for in Super Bowl 53:GRONK’S FINALE?There’s widespread speculation that Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski could be playing his final NFL game. The four-time All-Pro has been plagued by injuries for much of his career, and only in his first two pro seasons did he play a full 16-game schedule. In 2018, he made it into 13 games.Gronkowski has battled through back, knee, ankle and arm injuries throughout his nine pro seasons, and thought about retirement after last year’s Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. If this will be it for the big-play tight end with superb blocking skills, he isn’t letting on.“As of right now, those are the last things I’m thinking about,” Gronkowski says. “I love playing the game. After a long season, after the (Super Bowl), a few weeks down the road David Edwards Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , you sit back, you relax, you get some downtime, enjoyment time. And you just see where you want to go with it.“That’s a tricky question. You’re trying to get around me. You’re just trying to get you some answers over there, baby. But like I said, I don’t know. I haven’t done that sit-down yet. I’ve got to do that sit-down. About two weeks after (the Super Bowl), then I’ll know.”DONALD’S DOMINANCERams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, the only unanimous All-Pro this season, led the NFL with 20½ sacks.Considering that Brady barely has been touched or pressured in two playoff games — both against teams with strong pass rushers — it is incumbent upon Donald to be a factor Sunday.Make that a major factor.“We’ll get to him, but we have to stay patient and don’t get frustrated,” Donald says. “We’ve got a great secondary that will do its job and make sure he doesn’t have easy throws. If he has to hold onto the ball, we’ll have our chances. We just have to go get him.”Otherwise, the most accomplished quarterback in Super Bowl history might tear them apart.CLOSE ONESThe Rams’ past two trips to the big game were tight affairs in which they beat Tennessee and lost to New England. In all of the Patriots’ eight previous trips in the Brady-Belichick era, the result was in doubt until the final moments.So to expect a romp at Mercedes-Benz Stadium seems foolhardy.“It would be nice to get one of those,” Patriots receiver Chris Hogan. “But the idea is to win, no matter how you do it.”The largest margin in a Patriots Super Bowl under this regime has been the eight points the Eagles beat them by a year ago.
ots Sections Vikings 2018 SeasonVikings 2019 OffseasonU.S. Bank StadiumMinnesota Vikings PodcastsMinnesota Vikings 2019 OffseasonCould the Minnesota Vikings explore a trade for Josh Rosen?New Pat Elflein Jersey ,104commentsIt might not be a crazy ideaCSTShareTweetShareShareCould the Minnesota Vikings explore a trade for Josh Rosen?Steven Bisig-USA TODAY SportsOver the past few days at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, speculation has been running rampant that the Arizona Cardinals are toying with the idea of drafting University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the #1 overall pick. On the surface, the idea of taking a quarterback with the #1 overall pick isn’t necessarily a strange one.It does, however, become strange when you throw in the fact that the Cardinals drafted a quarterback in the first round in last year’s draft as well, even trading up in order to do so.The Cardinals selected Josh Rosen with the 10th overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, giving the Oakland Raiders a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick to move up five spots in Round 1. He didn’t necessarily light the world on fire in his rookie season, but he didn’t exactly have a ton of help. . .after all Dalvin Cook Jersey , there’s a reason that the Cardinals are picking #1 overall this April.If the Cardinals really are in the Kyler Murray sweepstakes, it’s tough to imagine that they’d keep Rosen around, and it’s also tough to imagine that Rosen would be thrilled with such a scenario. That means the Cardinals would be looking to trade Rosen away. Is this something that the Minnesota Vikings should, potentially, be involved in?I think so. Here’s why.We know that Kirk Cousins has a huge contract, but that contract only runs through the end of the 2020 season. With the way Rosen’s contract is structured, he could be had for a relative pittance. The reason for that is that, in the event of a trade Jalyn Holmes Jersey , the Cardinals would have to eat his signing bonus, leaving very little (comparatively) in salary to pay out. Here are his salary cap figures for the duration of his contract, courtesy of Over the Cap.For reference, Trevor Siemian had a cap hit of just under $2 million last season, and I think most of us would be more comfortable with Josh Rosen taking snaps in the event of something happening to Cousins than we would be with Siemian. I would be, anyway.If you could get Rosen on board with being Cousins’ backup with the inside track to being the heir apparent in a couple of seasons, you’ve given yourself some options. If Cousins turns a corner over the course of the next couple of seasons, you re-sign him Brian O’Neill Jersey , and then you can either keep Rosen around as a backup or get some sort of compensation for him down the road. If that doesn’t happen, Rosen would have a season to audition for the long-term job in 2021 before the Vikings would have to decide whether or not to pick up his fifth-year option. . .and if he plays well enough for the Vikings to pick up his option, you’d have to think that would be a good thing.I’m not sure what the Cardinals would want an exchange for Josh Rosen in a trade. Nobody is even 100% sure that said trade is actually going to happen. But if the Cardinals do go down that road, I think it’s certainly something the Vikings should be interested in doing.What say you, folks? Could he find a place with the Vikings?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Vikings 2018 SeasonVikings 2019 OffseasonU.S. Bank StadiumMinnesota Vikings PodcastsMinnesota Vikings 2019 NFL Draft2019 NFL Draft Grades: Let us know what you think about the selection of Dillon MitchellNew,4commentsCould he find a place with the Vikings?CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Draft Grades: Let us know what you think about the selection of Dillon MitchellCasey Sapio-USA TODAY SportsWith the second of their four seventh-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings took a wide receiver that might be able to find a place on this roster.The Vikings selected Oregon wide receiver Dillon Mitchell with Pick #239 overall.

Last week Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 ,f positioning, and I asked you, the good folks of The Daily Norseman commentariat, to decide on whether or not you wanted this to be a weekly thing. You voted ‘Yes’, by a razor thin 83-17% margin, so I guess in for a penny, in for a pound. Let’s take a look at how Sunday night’s loss to New Orleans affected the playoff chances and overall positioning for the Vikings, and we’ll look at the rest of the NFC North as well.First, a quick review. After the Jets game last week, the Vikings playoff chances stood at 68%, and I compared them to the rest of the teams in the NFC North, using the 538 playoff predictor:A win against New Orleans would have really gone a long way in not only helping the Vikings playoff chances, but would have pulled them within half a game of New Orleans, AND they would have had a head to head tiebreaker over them for the number two seed and a first round bye. Maybe not as big a deal with that week two tie to Green Bay on the record, but it was still a big game with a lot of implications. Obviously, Minnesota didn’t win, so let’s see what the new numbers for this week are:In a nutshell, the loss to New Orleans was huge. Minnesota is now just has a 50/50 shot to make the playoffs, but they still have the best chance to win the division, which seems kinda odd since they got knocked out of first, at least for the time being. The loss also crippled their chances to get a first round bye, going from 20% to 5%.The Bears playoff chances had the biggest boost, as they beat the Jets at home, and went from a 28% chance to 40% shot at making the playoffs. Because of their win and Minnesota’s loss, they also took over first place in the NFC North...just as everyone predicted for the halfway point of this season.Green Bay and Detroit both lost, and of the two teams Infant Dru Samia Jersey , Detroit took the biggest blow, going from 35% down to a 19% chance to make the postseason. But that’s still better than the Packers, who went from 23% to 18%.Now, let’s go back over to the NFL playoff predictor page, and play a little ‘what if’.First, we’ll look at our Beloved Purple.If the playoffs started today, the Vikings would be on the outside looking in as the seventh seed. The Bears would be the division champions, the number four seed, and the only NFC North team in the playoffs. Had the Vikings won Sunday Night and all other results remained the same, they would be the fourth seed, and the Bears would be the sixth seed.Detroit really hurt themselves with their home loss to Seattle. Had they won, and nothing else changed, they would be the fourth seed right now, with Chicago the sixth. As it is, their fortunes swung wildly with the loss, dropping all the way down to the 13th seed, and the 11th overall pick in the draft. Whew, talk about Chutes and Ladders.Green Bay is currently the eighth seed, right behind Minnesota. Had they beat the Rams, they move in to first place, even if the Lions had won. Ironically, in that scenario (Detroit and GB wins), Detroit grabs the sixth seed over Chicago, who drops to seventh ahead of eighth place Minnesota.There’s still a lot of football left to play, and with three consecutive division games, we’ll get a lot more clarity as to where they stand in the playoff picture a month from now. If they can win all three Dru Samia Jersey nfl draft , it would be huge, and a 3-0-1 mark in the division with just the Lions and Bears left would have them in an enviable position.And don’t look now, but if things play out like I think they might, I have a feeling the last game of the season, at home against the Bears, will be for the division championship.Again, just like everyone saw coming when the schedule first came out. EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — After starting his career at North Carolina State as a tight end, Garrett Bradbury soon favored a move inside to the offensive line so he could be on the field as much as possible.He started every game over his last three years for the Wolfpack, one of many factors in his selection by the Minnesota Vikings with the 18th overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night.“That’s something we pride ourselves in. Every offensive lineman, I think that’s the best trait you can have, durability,” Bradbury said.The Vikings used their first-rounder on an offensive lineman for the first time in seven years. With the front five again their position of greatest need , the Vikings could hardly have had the board fall to them any better. Alabama tackle Jonah Williams, who could wind up as a guard in the NFL, was the first blocker off the board at No. 11 to Cincinnati. Boston College guard Chris Lindstrom went to Atlanta at No. 14.Then the Vikings had their pick of the rest. With the 6-foot-3, 306-pound Bradbury , the Vikings got a natural fit with the inside zone-blocking scheme they’ll be using to try to generate more of a running game and keep the pressure off quarterback Kirk Cousins.Bradbury ran the 40-yard dash in 4.92 seconds at the scouting combine, the third-fastest time among all offensive linemen. He finished the three-cone drill in 7.41 seconds, the fastest of his position group. The endorsement of new offensive adviser Gary Kubiak carried plenty of weight in the room. So did the impression of defensive line coach Andre Patterson from his evaluation of prospects on the other side, when he walked in coach Mike Zimmer’s office one day.“He said, ‘Who’s this center from NC State? This guy is a really good football player,'” Zimmer said. “And so that even intrigued me more.”Pat Elflein, who has been the starting center since being Minnesota’s third-round draft pick in 2017, becomes a strong candidate to move to guard, his primary college position. Both general manager Rick Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer stopped short of assigning a position to Bradbury Replica Dru Samia Jersey , who was the starting left guard for the Wolfpack as a sophomore before moving to the middle.“We’re just trying to get the best football players in here,” Spielman said.The Vikings did not go with another cornerback. Spielman even joked this week at his pre-draft news conference that his wife told him not to come home if the Vikings were to use that precious first-rounder on another player at the head coach’s favorite position, where Zimmer has helped develop several draft picks into standouts over the last five seasons. This preference became a punch line for fans last year, as the Vikings frequently struggled up front.Now they have an Associated Press All-American and the winner of the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation’s best center.“The one thing I know is that he doesn’t play corner, so I can go home tonight,” Spielman said.Quipped Zimmer, smiling: “I was trying to get one.”Last year, the Vikings passed on a deep class of interior offensive linemen to take cornerback Mike Hughes out of Central Florida with the 30th overall pick. Hughes showed plenty of promise , returning an interception for a touchdown in his NFL debut, but he tore the ACL in his left knee six games into his rookie season.With Hughes coming off his injury, Holton Hill suspended for the first four games this year and Trae Waynes entering the final season of his contract, cornerback wouldn’t have been an indulgent selection. But the need up front, after a so-so first season under Cousins, was too glaring to ignore.The only other time in the 13 drafts the Vikings have had with Spielman that they made an offensive lineman their first pick was 2012, when tackle Matt Kalil went to them at No. 4 overall. He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, but his five-year tenure with the team was mixed at best. That was the first draft with Spielman as the final decision-maker. When he was vice president of player personnel before his promotion, Spielman shared authority with the head coach.The Vikings have only used a first-round selection on an offensive lineman three times in the past 30 years: Kalil, Bryant McKinnie (2002) and Todd Steussie (1994). They were each picked for at least one Pro Bowl. Two of the three others taken in the first round in Vikings history, Randall McDaniel (1988) and Ron Yary (1968), are Pro Football Hall of Fame members.With 50th overall pick in the second round on Friday night, the Vikings could get another starting-caliber offensive lineman. Florida tackle Jawaan Taylor and Oklahoma tackle Cody Ford, both widely expected to be first-rounders, remained available. So did Kansas State tackle Dalton Risner, who could wind up as a guard.

But the Kingdom is large and there are opportunities out there that we haven’t even uncovered yet. It is a little premature to say that we are going one way or the other. We are here in St. Joe. We are going to have a great camp in St. Joe. We are excited about St. Joe.”Donovan said that other venues have already expressed interest in hosting training camp, but it would be difficult to exceed what the team sees as a convenient and efficient setup in St. Joseph.“I think somebody is going to have to come in here and overwhelm us to take it away from St. Joe,” he said. “We’ve had a great relationship here, but those things happen in business, so we’ll see what happens. I know it’s the biggest question of the day because we’re here. I would tell you that our relationship with St. Joe, and with Missouri Western specifically, is really good. We’ve had our stumbles. We’ve had our obstacles that we’ve had to come over and we just find ways. That’s what we will do with this. We’ll just take a step back after camp. We’ll sit down and we’ll talk about what’s out there, we’ll talk about what they want to do, and we’ll make a decision.”But Donovan made it very clear that whatever the Chiefs do, it’s likely that training camp will not be at the team’s practice facility in Kansas City — a practice that more and more NFL teams have been adopting.Donovan said that Andy Reid’s preference is to do training camp away from home.“He likes being away at this time to build the camaraderie Chris Jones Jersey ,” he explained. “Brett Veach, our general manager, also thinks it’s an advantage to get the guys away. You eat together, you sleep together, you play together, you practice together, you meet together, you’re around each other a lot more. Especially as you get into the season with new guys coming in, it’s a great introduction to our culture as a team and as an organization.“Our players feed off the energy. It is a little different when you’re practicing in front of the fans than when you are just grinding, especially when you get to the second half of camp. We think that’s a big advantage.”Donovan said that their message to the players is that interacting with fans is important, too.“I’ll also give a speech tonight to our team and I will make the point that every single point of contact is an opportunity. You may think you’re an unsigned rookie who’s not going to make the team or you may think you’re the biggest free agent signing in the NFL, but when that little fan comes up to you and asks for an autograph, that’s an opportunity. We see it. It resonates. With research, the average fan becomes a fan before the age of 12. Once they’re a fan Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey , they stay a fan of that team, 98-percent of them do. The opportunity to create that bond and that player, whoever it is, can create that bond, it’s an opportunity for them.”Clearly, the opportunities for those kinds of interactions are greater when training camp is at a venue fairly close to Kansas City.But when Donovan was asked again about the potential for the team to move training camp farther away — and possibly outside the state — he wasn’t willing to be pinned down. “It is hard to answer that question because I can’t tell you everybody who is bidding on it or who wants to bid on it right now,” he said. “So, I don’t want to sit here and say, ‘That is a really important point,’ and then somebody comes from a different state and blows us away with an offer.
