add to favorites John Elway and the Denver Broncos rocked Cottages
Broncos Country with the news that wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was being traded for essentially a fourth round pick to the Houston Texans on Tuesday prior to the NFL Trade Deadline.With Thomas Youth Justin Simmons Jersey , 30, nearing the end of his contract and on the wrong side of 30, Elway decided there was value in dealing a player who will likely end up in the franchises Ring of Fame someday. That decision was partly due to the emergence of rookie standout Courtland Sutton who is quickly coming into this own after just eight games in the NFL.“I think that they’ve all—Courtland’s played very, very well,” Elway said when asked about Sutton. “Tim Patrick played very well last week. Emmanuel is obviously playing very well, too. We thought that this would give Courtland a chance to get out there, play more and become a bigger part of it because we think he’s ready to go. He’s played well up to this point in time. Hopefully this accelerates his maturity.”However Cheap Case Keenum Jersey , the player that sealed the deal and the decision to move on from Thomas came down to his partner in crime on the field, Emmanuel Sanders.“We leave Emmanuel out, he’s had a great year,” Elway said. “He’s played hard, he competes, he’s tough and a great competitor. What he’s done has also made this decision easier.”Sanders, 31 Cheap Emmanuel Sanders Jersey , is the real star in 2018. He has three 100-yard receiving games so far this season and has amassed 50 receptions for 660 yards and 3 touchdowns in eight games this year. Easily eclipsing Thomas’ production of 36 receptions for 402 yards and three scores. Rookie Sutton, already has 17 receptions for 324 yards and two touchdowns this season and figures to see his role expand exponentially moving forward. Hopefully it translates to more production on the field for the Broncos offense as reps will now be more evened out among a core of starters. The Denver Broncos (2-3) have lost three-straight games and will not host the undefeated Los Angeles Rams (5-0) in Week 6 just seven days after giving up an incredible 324 rushing yards to the New York Jets. Heading into this game, the line stands at just seven points in favor of the Rams, but it feels like it should be much higher.Considering the utter collapse of defensive play-calling and scheme in Denver and the scheme-heavy creativity of the Rams, this should not be a game that even comes close to being in doubt for the Super Bowl contender in Los Angeles. The Broncos have proven to have poor coaching and poor scheme, which has been a recipe for disaster the last two seasons.Even with the Rams being as good as they are, they have a history of playing the Broncos tough in Denver with a 3-3 mark all-time in the Mile High City. The Broncos are 5-8 all-time regardless of where they play http://www.broncoscheapauthenticstore.com/bradley-roby-jersey-cheap , but never more did they need a win at a given point during a regular season than they need one this week against the Rams.Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time at Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. The game will be called by Dick Stockton (play-by-play), Mark Schlereth (analyst), and Jennifer Hale (sideline reporting).

http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-dickson-jersey , but not every NFL transaction on Tuesday will include a player moving between teams.One example of another roster move comes from Seattle. Adam Schefter reports that the Seahawks have released veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall.Marshall signed with the Seahawks in May and made a couple of starts in the early weeks of the season. His playing time has dropped dramatically of late, however. He only played two snaps against the Lions last Sunday as David Moore has joined Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett as the top wideouts in Seattle.Marshall, who turns 35 next year, had 11 catches for 136 yards and a touchdown this season. Marshall’s 2017 season with the Giants was cut short by injury and he played poorly with the Jets in 2016, so it wouldn’t come as a great surprise if those are the last numbers he posts as an NFL player even with Schefter reporting that he’d like to keep playing.Report: Earl Thomas to report to Seahawks on Wednesday Wednesday morning brought three more twists to the Earl Thomas saga.First Bradley McDougald Jersey , ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Dallas Cowboys had recently improved their offer for the All-Pro safety. A second round pick has eluded the Seattle Seahawks all offseason as Thomas held out for either a new contract or a trade; per Schefter, the Cowboys finally put a second round selection on the table. Yet, the offer was rejected.NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport followed up on Schefter’s report, saying Dallas bowed out of trade negotiations after offering a second.Soon after Schefter’s update was first reported, another turn was added. Per Josina Anderson Authentic J.R. Sweezy Jersey , Thomas plans on reporting to the Seahawks on Wednesday, ending his lengthy holdout.Thomas, as he has done all offseason, communicated his side of the story via an Instagram post published shortly after Anderson’s report.Per Rapoport, Seattle has agreed to clear the majority of Thomas’s fines as he returns. The Seahawks begin their week of practice for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on Wednesday afternoon. With Tedric Thompson still banged up Youth Sebastian Janikowski Jersey , there’s a chance Thomas goes from holding out to Week 1 starter in a matter of days.

http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/brandon-copeland-jersey-authentic , Week 8. Tonight the New Orleans Saints travel to Minnesota to take on the Minnesota Vikings in a rematch of last year’s wild NFC Divisional Playoffs game won by the Vikings.The Saints come into the game red hot, in the midst of a five game winning streak. Led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees and a dynamic backfield duo of Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram, the Saints are looking for revenge. Last year in the Divisional Playoffs the Saints seemingly had the game won, leading by a point with the Vikings down to their last play deep in their own territory. Instead, in the unlikeliest of finishes, the Vikings scored a game winning touchdown on a desperation pass as time ran out. It was a bitter blow for the Saints, and one they are no doubt eager to avenge.The Vikings also come into the game hot, winners of three straight. The Vikings are led by new signal caller Kirk Cousins and perhaps the best receiving duo in the game in Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. This one is an excellent matchup between two contenders for an NFC Super Bowl berth, with recent history juicing the rivalry. It’s the Saints and the Vikings in a great Sunday Night Football game.Enjoy the game everybody.Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles haven’t changed the culture for the Jets During last year’s 5-11 season, I heard over and over from fans and the media alike about how the Jets had “changed the culture” around the team. The team itself seemed to be pushing this narrative.I understand why people look for positives such as these. There is a misconception that Jets fans and other sports fans will not tolerate losing seasons. This isn’t really the case, though. Fans are fully willing to endure some losing, but there is a condition. If the team loses, there has to be a greater purpose. The team has to benefit in the future because of the short-term pain.Even if the 2018 season turns ugly for the Jets, it will be easy enough to find the silver lining for the future. Sam Darnold will get experience and learn from the team’s rough stretch.Last season there was no such obvious silver lining to provide meaning in a losing year. The idea of changing the culture to set a foundation for future success seemed good. The Jets were coming off an ugly 2016 where a number of issues in the locker room with several high profile players reportedly created a culture of divisiveness. The Jets jettisoned a number of the culprits, and an early three game winning streak kept the team on the fringes of the Playoff race for most of the year http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/jordan-jenkins-jersey-authentic , which created buzz around the team and allowed the narrative about culture to flourish.Culture is difficult to quantify, which makes it an easy talking point to lean on. You cannot prove or disprove how good or bad a culture is through data. Through enough anecdotal evidence we can usually get a grasp on an organization’s culture, but professional sports teams do their best to stay tight-lipped about what happens behind the scenes. Most of the time, we don’t get enough information to say one way or another about a specific team’s culture. In the absence of evidence, we tend to take a glass half full view.Some people argue that culture is an illusion or irrelevant. You might feel this way. I don’t.I think everybody knows that the culture of your office or school has a major impact on everybody’s happiness and productivity. If your workplace has a bad culture, people won’t be as effective at their jobs, and the company will struggle to retain quality people. The inverse is also true.We hear plenty about how the most successful franchises in sports have good cultures. What makes a good culture for a sports franchise?I can’t give a full definition for something so abstract, but here do tend to be similarities in the way many of the best franchises are run.Accountability starts at the top. The best players are the hardest workers and set an example how to conduct themselves on the field and in practice. When the team acquires a player, his past doesn’t matter either good or bad. Regardless of pedigree, everybody is treated fairly. Players put the team above all else and embrace their role. People are held accountable.Nobody is perfect. Even the best teams have their issues, and the best players have their moments. Professional sports is a business, and money frequently makes things messy. For the most successful teams, though, these things ring true far more often than they do not.For these reasons, I thought the Patriots were one of the few logical fits for Josh Gordon in a trade. Gordon has faced many demons in his troubled career Womens Kelvin Beachum Jersey , but New England has a distinct culture. His past was irrelevant once he entered the Patriots’ facility.One of two things will happen. Gordon will buy into what the Patriots do, work hard, and turn his career around. Or he won’t and the Patriots will dump him unceremoniously. The Patriots expect people to do their job. If you do your job, you will succeed. If you don’t do your job, you will be looking for a new one. We might not like the Patriots in New York, but their success is something every team in sports hopes to emulate.After watching things unravel on Thursday night in Cleveland and taking the last few days to reflect, I was struck by how bad the optics were for the alleged culture change Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan have brought.An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty might be the worst flag a player can get in the NFL because it is completely avoidable. If you get called for holding or a false start, it’s an execution error. Everybody makes mistakes like that when the ball is in play. If you get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, however, you simply have done something stupid after the play.For all of the talk of building a new culture the Jets took two such penalties in Cleveland, and they were from two players Mike Maccagnan specifically targeted and brought onto the roster this year, Trumaine Johnson and Isaiah Crowell.Of the two, Johnson in particular is a cornerstone of Mike Maccagnan’s rebuild. He is the highest paid player on the team and one of the highest paid defensive players in the league. His salary and the structure of his contract virtually guarantee he will be on the roster for the next three years, which is an enormous commitment in the National Football League.When he signed with the Jets back in March he said, “I bring leadership to the team.” Well www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com , what he brought on Thursday was a stupid 15 yard penalty that wiped out three successful plays by his teammates. Some people have speculated that the Jets defense struggled in the second half of the loss to Cleveland because players were exhausted at the end of their third game in eleven days. I can’t say whether that is true or not. What I do know is the defense was forced to spend an extra nine plays on the field in the second quarter of that game because to Johnson sticking the football in an opponent’s chest to taunt him was more important than making the Browns punt. That’s bringing something, but that something isn’t leadership.This came shortly after Crowell cost the Jets 15 yards on a kickoff with a profane celebration on a touchdown.You can complain all you want about whether those SHOULD be called penalties. If you have watched the NFL for any amount of time, you know they WILL be called so the player knowingly is costing his team 15 yards when he does something like it.Now I’d like to draw your attention to a few plays.Watch Jermaine Kearse block for Quincy Enunwa right here. Look at how hard Kearse is working. He is practically blocking two guys. This play isn’t designed for him. He is just giving maximum effort for a teammate to produce.Lest you think this was an isolated event, I can give you another example.Now watch this route Terrelle Pryor runs on an important third down play right before the half. The Jets were trying to drive for a field goal.If you read my work you know I am hesitant to question a player’s effort, but that is a pathetic route. Pryor just quits running halfway through. Sam Darnold is expecting him to get to the spot. If Pryor finishes his route, that pass is on the money. There is a good chance it is a reception to extend the drive. Perhaps the drive results in points. Instead, it was an incompletion.At that point of the game, Sam Darnold was struggling. Everybody on the team should be doing what they can to help out the rookie quarterback and let him get to the locker room with a positive drive to build on. Instead, we got this route.Here’s a riddle.Question: What do you call a Patriots receiver who hangs Tom Brady out to dry like this?Answer: A former Patriots receiver.This came just days after another lazy Pryor route might have been the difference between a critical touchdown and a critical interception against the Dolphins.You wouldn’t know any of this by the playing time figures. Pryor got 10 more snaps on the field than Kearse did. The Jets thought the guy who doesn’t want to run his routes deserves to see the field more than the guy who is killing himself to make plays work.If just one of these things happened, I would let it go. If it was only Crowell taking a penalty, it wouldn’t be a big deal.But when Crowell is taking that penalty AND Johnson is taking his AND Pryor is running routes like that AND he’s not losing playing time AND ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING AS THE JETS ARE BLOWING A 14 POINT LEAD TO A TEAM WITH ONE WIN IN IT’S LAST 34 GAMES, the optics certainly don’t suggest a culture that has changed for the better.Or maybe it’s all a coincidence.Either way, I don’t want to hear another word about how “the culture has changed.”
add to favorites Jaguars gambled at running back and it backfired Cars - Economy cars
The Jaguars offense sputtered in Sunday’s 9-6 loss to the Tennessee Titans http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-t.j.-yeldon-jersey , but one bright spot was the play of backup running back TJ Yeldon, who was carrying the load in place of Leonard Fournette who was kept out once again nursing a hamstring injury. Yeldon was picking up chunks of yards on the ground and making some plays in the passing game, but there were some long stretches where he was out of the game and the offense sputtered without him.Yeldon was still working through an ankle injury that limited him in practice the week leading up to the game.“T.J. [Yeldon] was fighting through it so we had to take him out for a little bit and then put him back in,” Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said in his opening statement after the loss on Sunday. “Give credit to Tennessee. They beat us. We know we’ve got to score points against them and we didn’t score, and that’s something we’ve got to work on and do a better job of. We all know we can execute when we do it the right way, but today we didn’t execute.”With Yeldon out, the only options were trying to treat Corey Grant like a true running back with ineffective results or putting trust in newly called up back Brandon Wilds. Grant averaged 1.8 yards per carry and was bottled up trying to run between the tackles, even missing a huge cut back lane on one carry and completely ineffective in the passing game. Wilds got just one carry for five yards and that was about that.The Jaguars gambled this offseason either flat out not replacing Chris Ivory or gambling that Grant could grow into the necessary duties of being a full time running back and this was a game where that backfired. With Yeldon needing to take some breathers due to his injury the running game just flat out died. The team had no other real viable option with Fournette out and it showed on Sunday. This was something I mentioned when guessing 53-man roster breakdowns and seeing people with the team keeping six receivers after the Marqise Lee injury and only three running backs (really... only two).I would expect the Jaguars bring in some running backs for workouts on Tuesday just to see if there’s anything out there they’d like to hold onto until both Fournette and Yeldon are fully healthy rather than carry a consistently inactive Rashad Greene. STARTRB David Johnson, CardinalsIf you’re like me you are regretting drafting David Johnson. But you have to start him, right? (I’ve benched him twice already.)Cheer up! The Broncos have given up 500 yards rushing in the last two games. Johnson has found the end zone in the last three games, and at this point he is the only major weapon on this team. Be confident the Cardinals are going to feed him tonigh. I think he easily finds the end zone in this game. Possibly the first quarter. That’s my bold projection right there. Projection: 85 yards rushing , 4 receptions for 52 yards and 2 rushing touchdownRB Phillip Lindsay http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-josh-lambo-jersey , BroncosAs much as it angers me Freeman isn’t getting the ball as much as he should be (a workhorse type back), you have to give Lindsay props. His story is pretty amazing, and he is out touching Freeman. He is going up against the 31st rank rush defense and could easily have a breakout. Projection: 80 yards rushing, 2 receptions for 15 yards and 1 rushing touchdown.WR Christian Kirk, Cardinals Kirk has been the better receiver fantasy wise this season for the Cardinals. He has recorded at least 77 receiving yards in three of the last four games, and is going up against a defense that has let a receiver gain at least 109 yards over the last two games. With Fitzgerald not 100 percent, he should get the majority of looks from Rosen. He’s good enough tobe at worst a W2.Projection: 5 receptions for 104 yards and 1 touchdownWR Emmanuel Sanders, Broncos He has been a PPR stud and Case’s number one guy. While this matchup screams ground attack, when the Broncos do throw the ball I expect Sanders to get the looks. Look for Sanders to be a solid W3 this week. Due to how I expect the Broncos to gameplan he just won’t get the opportunities to exceed 100 yards. Projection: 6 receptions for 52 yards and 1 touchdownTE Ricky Seals-Jones, Cardinals The last two games he has be getting at least six targets, and I believe that trend will continue win this game as Rosen seems to be very comfortable throwing to the tight end position. On the season Seals is the third most targeted subject in the passing game, and only five behind Fitzgerald.I’m going above Matt’s head here http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-a.j.-bouye-jersey , moving his yards from 52 to 73. Still not a solid start, but he’s a worthy pull from your bench to get you into double digits.Projection: 5 receptions for 73 yardsK Brandon McManus, Broncos He hasn’t missed a kick yet this season and he should see plenty of opportunities as I expect the Broncos to move the ball quite easily. Start him with no worries. Projection: 2 for 2 on field goals and 3 for 3 on extra pointsDenver Broncos DefenseI’m more comfortable facing the Cardinals offense then I am facing the Broncos offense. That being said, the Broncos are my defense to start tonight. Going up against a rookie quarterback, I feel they may load up the box and prevent David Johnson from doing damage. They will fail, but the sacks and turnovers compensate for the points.Projection: 24 points allowed, 2 sacks, and 3 total turnovers.SITQB Case Keenum, Broncos He hasn’t been the quarterback that the organization and he fans have hoped for but he did get 300 yards and multiple touchdowns last week against the Rams, That said, I’m sitting him due to the matchup. As noted I expect the Broncos to be run heavy. They also have only given up 6 passing touchdown this years which is tied for second. Projection: 285 yards passing, 1touchdown http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-keelan-cole-jersey , and 1 interceptionQB Josh Rosen, Cardinals Rosen has been having a tough time, and rightfully so. He is a rookie on a team with a slew of weaknesses. This is making it tough for him to transition into a NFL quarterback. He has thrown just 2 touchdowns in the last four starts, he goes up against a defense that has held quarterbacks to one or fewer passing touchdowns in four of the last five games.Projection: 210 yards passing, 1 touchdown and 1 interceptionRB Royce Freeman, Broncos I believe he gets in the end zone this week, but it’s a goal line effort. He isn’t getting used enough for me to be comfortable starting him. Projection 10 carries for 25 yards one touchdown WR Larry Fitzgerald, CardinalsA fantasy stud last year, Fitzgerald’s turning into a dud this year. He hasn’t reach 40 yards receiving since week one, and he is still shaken up with a hamstring injury. Until I see improvement and targets going his way, I’m sitting Fitzgerald Projection: 6 receptions for 35 yardsWR Demaryius Thomas, Broncos Like my co host said on our show http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-donte-moncrief-jersey , Thomas is on his way out. Keenum hearts Sanders. The reason most likely stems from his playing time with Diggs and Thielan in Minnesota as Sanders is the same type of receiver. He saw four targets last week which was his season low, but did get a touchdown. With the target rate being so low, he is simply a touchdown or bust. Projection: 4 receptions for 45 yardsWR Courtland Sutton, Broncos The reason I’m sitting Sutton is primarily the same reason I’m sitting Thomas: He is not getting the targets to justify starting in the PBR, and he’s more of a touchdown or bust candidate. He is a sit this week! Projection: 3 receptions for 45 yardsTE Jeff Heuerman, Broncos He is not getting enough targets to justify starting. He may get that small touchdown but that’s about it. He’s more used as another blocker instead of an receiving asset. He gets the looks but not the flowers. Get it?Projection: 3 receptions for21 yardsK Phil Dawson, CardinalsDawson has only made to feel goals over the past six games. Simply enough the Arizona Cardinals offense has it been great they have been inconsistent and not giving him any of opportunities to kick. He is a very weak fantasy option for the kicker positionProjection: 1 for 1 on field goals and 3 for 3 extra pointsCardinals Defense I believe the Broncos offense is a lot better than the Cardinals defense, I believe they run the ball quite effectively and open up the play action game for Keenum. Cardinals are must sit for me this week. Projection: 28 points allowed, 2 sacks, and 1 interception

Authentic Shaquem Griffin Jersey , TV schedule, radio, live streaming, and more The Seattle Seahawks (2-2) play at home for only the second time in the 2018 NFL season, and the last time until November 4th. Their opponents are the undefeated Los Angeles Rams (4-0), who boast an elite offense and a dangerous defense.We know what happened the last time the Seahawks played the Rams in Seattle. A 42-7 thumping rendered the Seahawks out of the playoff picture and unable to get themselves back in it. Seattle’s offense was awful and the defense was banged up and both not good and constantly having to defend short fields. Well this year’s Seahawks offense has been near the bottom of the league, while the defense has been surprisingly strong, although they’ll come into this showdown with Earl Thomas out for the season, Mychal Kendricks suspended Authentic Duane Brown Jersey , and K.J. Wright still out with injury. Seattle is a touchdown underdog at home for the first time under Russell Wilson, but perhaps they can spring a surprise against Sean McVay’s Super Bowl caliber team.

However, after a pitiful 34-3 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, the Raiders have opted to cut Irvin outright anyway.Irvin had eight sacks in 2017, tying his career-high from his rookie season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, but in 2018 he has three sacks to date and zero tackles over the past two games. With his production dropping this year and the Raiders clearly all-in on rebuilding the team Womens Jarran Reed Jersey , Irvin’s future was always a question mark even prior to the start of this season. Of course, the 31-year-old is familiar with former Raiders DC and current Seahawks DC Ken Norton Jr, seeing as he was the man who developed Irvin while he was linebackers coach in his previous stint in Seattle. If you absolutely want to see Irvin reunite with the Seahawks and provide a potential pass-rushing boost, claiming him off waivers doesn’t seem like the way to go.

Loss to Cleveland has annihilated Jets fan confidence Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL Womens Customized New York Jets Jerseys , powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Jets fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.How confident are you in the direction of the team?Last week I noted how the high rate of Jets fan confidence had barely budged after the Jets lost to Miami. I wondered whether a second loss would change things at all. The results are in, and the answer is a resounding, “Yes!”Fan confidence was cut in half this week. Before Week 3, 87% of Jets fans said they were confident in the team. That number fell all the way to 43% this week. Handing the Browns their first win in over 600 days has a way of painting a bleak picture.To what extent would a surprise road against Jacksonville turn things around? We will have to wait and see.Ex-Jets elsewhere: Final preseason update and regular season primer Over the course of preseason, we’ve been keeping tabs on players on other teams around the league who had spent time on the Jets’ active roster or practice squad since cutdown day last year.For our final update of the preseason, most of the high profile players didn’t play this week, but that gives us the luxury of being able to focus more on who made their team, who got released and who ended up on a practice squad.By popular demand, we’ll also update you on some former Jets who were with the team prior to last year’s cutdown day and in previous years.Active RosterLet’s start by focusing on a surprisingly short list of players that actually made it onto their team’s 53-man roster.Muhammad Wilkerson, DL, Packers;Demario Davis, LB, Saints;Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Jaguars;Chandler Catanzaro, K, Bucs;Jeremy Kerley, WR, Bills;Julian Stanford, LB, Bills;Marcus Murphy, RB/KR/PR, Bills;Travis Swanson, OL, Dolphins; (Note: Swanson is already being released today)Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Saints; andChad Hansen, WR, Patriots.That’s only 10 players, including two who were Jets until last week. By comparison, there were 16 players who made another team’s 2017 opening day roster having been with the Jets since cutdown day in 2016. What we read into this is open to interpretation. Did the 2016 team get rid of a load of talent? Is it a sign the Jets have started to keep the right guys? Are teams simply writing off former Jets players because they can’t get that ex-Jets stank off them?Of the seven that weren’t still Jets this time last week, only Davis and Catanzaro played in the final preseason game. Davis just played a couple of series and had a run stop and a pressure and Catanzaro made his only field goal and had two touchbacks.The three players who made the Bills are somewhat surprising as it seems unlikely any of them would have made the Jets. Perhaps this is a sign the Jets have better depth than Buffalo. Murphy might have been a useful punt returner for the Jets, but they don’t have much room at running back.Practice SquadSo far, the following players have been announced as on their team’s practice squad, although this list should grow www.jetscheapshops.com , TE, Panthers;Deon Simon, NT, Tennessee;Bucky Hodges, TE, Steelers;Jeremy Langford, RB, Dolphins; andChristian Hackenberg, QB, Bengals.Vander Laan was injured but Simon suited up for the Jets and the other three also played on Thursday night. Hodges had catches of 36 and seven yards, Langford struggled with just 13 yards on six carries and six targets - with one drop and Hackenberg was 7-for-16 with two picks against the Jets, but did rush for 66 yards.Cut or injuredThe following players did not make their team’s 53-man roster and have not yet been added to a practice squad:Nick Rose, PK, Texans;Bryce Petty, QB, Dolphins (IR);Wesley Johnson, OL, Lions;Kony Ealy, DL, Cowboys;Freddie Bishop, OLB, Lions;Damore’ea Stringfellow, WR, Seahawks;Jojo Natson, WR/KR/PR, Rams;Kalif Raymond, WR/KR/PR, Giants;Korren Kirven, OL, Cowboys (injured);Edmond Robinson, LB, Cardinals;Geoff Gray, OL, Browns;Michael Hunter, CB, Giants;Travaris Cadet, RB New York Jets T-Shirt , Bills;Anthony Johnson, DL, Colts (IR);Lord Hyeamang, OL, Rams;Robert Nelson, DB, Saints;Marcus Williams, DB, Saints; andWill Tye, TE, Patriots (IR).From that list, players who had notable performances this week included Stringfellow, who had two catches for 90 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown, and Cadet, who rushed for 73 yards on just six carries.Already out of actionThe following players had already been released before preseason, have since retired or had suffered a season-ending injury.S Jeremy Cash is out for the season with a knee injury suffered in the first preseason game;RB Akeem Judd opted to retire last week;DL Claude Pelon signed with Tennessee but then tore his ACL a few days later; andTE Zach Conque signed with Jacksonville but was released in June.Less-recent ex-Jets on active rostersThe following ex-Jets from before last September are currently on a team’s 53-man roster, although that may change in some cases between now and opening day:Chris Ivory, RB, Bills;Kerry Hyder, DL, Lions;Jacquies Smith, DE, Cardinals;Sheldon Richarson, DL, Vikings;Anthony Firkser, TE, Titans;Austin Calitro, LB, Seahawks;Mike Liedtke, OL, Bucs;Jesse Davis, OL, Dolphins;Shelby Harris, DL, Broncos;Raheem Mostert, RB/KR;Bruce Ellington New York Jets Hats , WR/KR/PR, Texans;Tommy Bohanon, FB, Jaguars;Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Bucs;Brandon Marshall, WR, Seahawks;Marcus Gilchrist, S, Raiders;Stevan Ridley, RB, Steelers;Geno Smith, QB, Chargers; andJarvis Jenkins, DL, Chiefs.Looking down that list there’s a few pass rushers who have been more productive than any Jets player over the past few years, a couple of young offensive linemen and a fullback. So maybe there’s a couple of players the team gave up on prematurely that could have helped the current team.It’s also interesting to see some former undrafted free agents proving their worth elsewhere having not made an impression with the Jets.Alex Collins is another regret, after he almost rushed for a thousand yards last season with the Ravens. However, he wasn’t actually a Jet. He originally agree to join their practice squad last September before changing his mind and going elsewhere, though.Less recent ex-Jets released or injured over the last weekFinally, let’s wrap up with a list of other ex-Jets from before last September who were cut this week, in case you were wondering what had happened to any of these guys. There aren’t many names on that list that would interest the Jets in a potential reunion:Kyle Friend, OL, Panthers;Ronald Martin, S, Colts;Troymaine Pope, RB, Texans (made initial 53, cut Sunday);Brandon Wilds, RB, Jaguars (made practice squad);Robensen Therezie, S, Colts (IR);Brian Parker, TE, Broncos (made practice squad);Jermaine Cunningham, TE, Titans (made practice squad);KD Cannon New York Jets Hoodie , WR, Cowboys;Jeremy Faulk, DL, Browns;Shamarko Thomas, S, Steelers;Austin Howard, OL, Colts;Shane Wynn, RB/KR, Jaguars;Algie Brown, FB, Chiefs;Jace Amaro, TE, Chiefs;Braedon Bowman, TE, Chargers;DaShaun Phillips, CB, Steelers;Leon McFadden, CB, Falcons;Jeremiah George, LB, Colts (IR);Dexter McDougle, CB, Lions;DeVier Posey, WR, Ravens;Wes Saxton, TE, 49ers;Eric Decker, WR, Patriots (retired);Breno Giacomini, T, Raiders; andOday Aboushi, OL, Raiders.We’ll update you on the progress of these players at the bye week and at the end of the season.

Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Jaguars fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.Will the Jaguars win or lose in Week 1?Jaguars fans think they will beat the Giants by 10. I tend to lean that way too, especially if the Jaguars offense is turnover free. The Jaguars are currently only a three point favorite on the road, so that means if it were at TIAA Bank Field it would probably be around a touchdown favorite.How confident are you in the direction of the team?Very confident: 81 percentSomewhat confident: 18 percentMeh: 1 percentNot very confident: 0 percentNot confident at all: 0 percentThese results shouldn’t be too surprising. Why should Jaguars fans feel any different? The team is coming off the doorstep of the Super Bowl and during the preseason, despite some struggles in the passing game, their first team units “won” against whoever it was they were playing against. Right now, there is no reason to not feel really good about where the Jaguars are at Authentic Leonard Fournette Jersey , especially heading into Week 1.What is the worst NFL rule?I’d expect the results for the worst rule to be down going forward, as I think this was a reaction to the NFL being super aggressive calling the helmet rule. We didn’t really see it in the first Thursday Night game between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles and I don’t expect to see a lot of it going forward.Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets: Week 4 sack analysis The Jacksonville Jaguars put on a clinic against the New York Jets this past weekend, winning 31-12 and dominating in all three phases. There were a couple of mistakes — a T.J. Yeldon fumble, a silly interception late in the game, and two sacks allowed by the offensive line.Who was responsible for both of those sacks? Let’s take a look.Sack #1: 3rd & 11 at NYJ 13, 4:25 left in 1Q(Shotgun) B.Bortles sacked at NYJ 14 for -1 yards (H.Anderson)Henry Anderson makes a good inside move here on newly signed left guard Andrew Norwell, but the full view shows that Blake Bortles had an outlet pass to Leonard Fournette in the flat. It’s third down, yes Youth Calais Campbell Jersey , and Bortles is looking for the first down or touchdown. But if you feel pressure you’ve got to get it out to your running back who is 10 yards away from the nearest defender.Fault: Blake BortlesSack #2: 1st & 10 at JAX 49, 3:50 in 2QB.Bortles sacked at JAX 39 for -10 yards (L.Williams)Because of the fake to T.J. Yeldon, this play takes a little longer than normal to develop. That allows Leonard Williams to make an inside move against right guard A.J. Cann. The coverage is good and I wonder if Blake could have fit that ball to D.J. Chark on the right side of the field. All in all, the offensive line has to give Blake just a second longer to let the routes develop.Fault: A.J. CannSummaryIn all, the offensive line did a good job. Blake again had a lot of volume (41 drop backs for 38 attempts and three runs) and aside from the two sacks the Jets had just two hits on him. Without their starting left tackle and their right guard a bit banged up, I’d say they’re doing a better-than-expected job. After all, offensive linemen are only responsible for four sacks through four games.2018 sack totalsPlayerSacksPlayerSacksUp next: The Kansas City Chiefs!
add to favorites Vance Joseph hopes the fumble by Isaiah Cottages
McKenzie doesn’t set him back and that “he just keeps pushing forward” It was bound to happen. Isaiah McKenzie fumbled the ball late in the fourth quarter of last night’s week two preseason matchup against the Bears. The fumble was recovered by the Bears and ended any potential comeback by the Broncos. It wasn’t a punt Youth Demaryius Thomas Jersey , but McKenzie did once again fumble the ball. He hauled in a screen pass from quarterback Paxton Lynch and while trying to make something out of nothing, had the ball “peanut punched” by a Bears defender. It was some tough luck and something that unfortunately happens, but it happened, and it happened to McKenzie who is trying to shake the ball security woes that plagued him his rookie year. Head Coach Vance Joseph was asked about this after the game and he said he hopes this doesn’t set McKenzie back. McKenzie has been having a strong camp once again by all accounts and just looked like a different player than the one who had his confidence broke last season. If you remember, McKenzie ended up in the doghouse after multiple fumbles and was inactive for a handful of games late in the year. He also had a skirmish with cornerback Chris Harris Jr. during practice which led to the then-rookie to be seen crying at his locker with then running back C.J. Anderson consoling him. It was a rough go for a rookie who had a promising start to the season but the fumbles shook his confidence and it all spiraled out of control from there. This is what Joseph was hoping wouldn’t happen again after his first fumble. It was going to happen at some point. He wasn’t going to go fumble free throughout the rest of his career so he needs to keep pushing as Joseph said after the game. Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY SportsFumbles have always been a part of McKenzie’s game. He had a total of 8 through two seasons at Georgia and that trend continued his rookie year in the NFL. Hopefully, he can buck that trend moving forward. I think McKenzie has done enough to win a roster spot. He has been solid Training Camp/Preseason as a returner and the ball hasn’t hit the ground there. One unfortunate play doesn’t change that Youth Bradley Roby Jersey , but how McKenzie deals with this will make or break him going forward.Hopefully, the Broncos electric returner does indeed keep pushing and moves forward and serves as a weapon for them in the return game in 2018.Phillip Lindsay sets NFL record to start his career The Denver Broncos found that diamond in the rough in undrafted free agent Phillip Lindsay. He grew up a Bronco fan and made sure to ask Terrell Davis for permission to wear his #30 jersey. Permission was granted and Lindsay has proceeded to live up to that number through his first two games.On Sunday, Lindsay became the first undrafted free agent in NFL history to gain over a 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games. The 5’8” 190-pound back piled up 107 yards on 14 carries in the Broncos comeback win over the Raiders. He had 15 carries for 71 yards against the Seahawks in Week, but his 2 receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown put him over the 100 scrimmage yard mark. The Broncos coaching staff has taken note of Lindsay’s hot hand, finding ways to get him the ball more than any other running back on the roster. “He had a big run for us and finally broke a play for us,” Head Coach Vance Joseph said on Sunday. “He is a good football player. Not only as a running back Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , but as a guy who covers kicks for us and a guy who catches the ball for us. He is a total package as a football player. He’s been impressive. He’s been really impressive.”Most experts believed Lindsay to be a gimmick player, with very limited play options in a given offense. Instead, Lindsay has shown a knack for finding running room anywhere on the field. He has also shown an ability to fight through tackles despite his smaller size. However, Lindsay also understands his role on the team. It’s not so much to be the grinder who grinds out the tough yards. No, he’s there to break the big one and be the spark that ignites the offense.“I am here to be our spark player,” Lindsay said. “I am here to make sure that I get my teammates going http://www.thebroncosfootballauthentic.com/ronald-leary-jersey-authentic , whether it is on a punt, if it is on a kickoff or kickoff return, anything. I am going to do what I have to to get our team moving.”Game on, Phillip Lindsay!
add to favorites Colts 19 Seahawks 17 - Winners and Losers from Seattle’s 2018 preseason debut Cottages
The Seattle Seahawks got their 2018 NFL preseason underway with a 19-17 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts Authentic Bradley McDougald Jersey , but who cares about the result? Seahawks football is back and I couldn’t be happier to be writing about game-action for a second season here on Field Gulls. The opening drive touchdown led by Russell Wilson got my juices flowing, and the crowd did its job to stay engaged and loud even when the game devolved into your typical preseason mess in the latter stages.Here’s a quick rundown of my winners and losers from Thursday night’s showdown at CenturyLink Field. WinnersChris CarsonWelcome back, Chris! Playing against the very team that ended his rookie season prematurely, Carson ran for 26 yards on 4 carries, showing off spin moves, cutbacks, and power to convert that 4th and 1. He looked healthy and operating as he did in 2017, and that’s great news.Tight ends as pass-catchersNick Vannett caught Seattle’s only offensive touchdown, while rookie Will Dissly had a pair of grabs for 19 yards. Dissly also showed some good work in run blocking, but I’m much more interested in seeing how valuable both men can be as receiving targets. Vannett in particular might be fighting for a roster spot.Rasheem GreenThe third-round rookie Womens Kam Chancellor Jersey , deemed to be Michael Bennett’s replacement, sacked Andrew Luck in the 1st half and then teamed up with fellow rookie Jacob Martin to get a half-sack. He also hustled excellently on the late fumble recovery touchdown to prevent Brad Kaaya from easily recovering the botched snap. I am so stoked watching him perform, and he might have been the biggest winner of them all.Shaquem GriffinFour tackles in four snaps in his first defensive series, and a final total of nine tackles (six solo) with one tackle-for-loss on a running play. It’s great to have the Griffin Brothers reunited, and you have to love how Shaquem was flying all over the field throughout the game. He’ll definitely be a quality contributor at linebacker and also on special teams.Quinton JeffersonJefferson was disruptive as a pass rusher and fared well in run defense, as the Seahawks are badly in need of any depth at defensive line. He did walk off with a limp after an injury in the 2nd quarter, but it did not look too serious.Michael DicksonWow can that guy punt! A 61-yard blast that forced a muffed punt, and his first kick as a Seahawk saw him pin the Colts inside their own 20. He had a net average of 50 yards on three punts, and while Jon Ryan didn’t have a bad night, Dickson was definitely better.Akeem KingHe had impressive coverage skills Authentic 12th Fan Jersey , including a pass defensed on T.Y. Hilton in the 2nd quarter. King also delivered a big hit on that aforementioned muffed punt, although it was considered to be a “lowering the helmet” penalty.LosersBackup quarterbacksAustin Davis went 4-of-5 for 51 yards, but that one interception was a horrible end-zone throw to Keenan Reynolds, which was easily picked off by Nate Hairston. Rookie QB Alex McGough was apparently struggling throughout training camp, and after a promising early start, McGough tapered off badly and finished 10/13 for just 48 yards, often defaulting to checkdowns and not showing much in the way of pocket presence. Davis should still be considered the favorite to keep his backup spot. Third-string offensive lineMcGough was only sacked twice, but he was hurried several other times, and Skyler Phillipps in particular got owned by Hassan Ridgeway on one of McGough’s sacks. Rees Odhiambo also looked like he had some struggles out at left tackle after he filled in for Jamarco Jones.Austin CalitroCalitro had a drive-extending penalty and a horrible missed tackle, as the Colts kicked a field goal to retake the lead in the 3rd quarter. Not good. Unlike Joey Ivie http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/barkevious-mingo-jersey , who was going to be on the Losers list, Calitro didn’t score a touchdown to atone for his errors.Whoever is in charge of Seahawks television productionYellow line for the line of scrimmage and blue line for the first-down marker?

add to favorites Why Jaguars coverages present a huge test to Sam Darnold Man coverage. Cottages
Zone coverage.Like every other NFL team [url=http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/leonard-williams-jersey]Womens Leonard Williams Jersey[/url] , the Jacksonville Jaguars run both man and zone in their defensive system.What might present a challenge to a rookie quarterback like Sam Darnold is the third type of coverage Jacksonville runs. When reviewing their defense, I noticed the Jaguars mix in pattern matching principles to some of their coverages.I have heard pattern matching described a number of ways through the years. Some people describe it as a man coverage that morphs into zone after the snap. Others describe it the opposite way, as a zone coverage that morphs into man after the snap. Still others equate it to a matchup zone in basketball where you guard somebody who comes into your zone as though you are playing him man to man.I think of it this way. Every player in coverage has to read the route combinations. Each defender is assigned a route (or routes) to cover based on where he is lined up and the route combination the offense runs.Here’s a play from Jacksonville’s Week 1 win against the Giants that shows you some of the advantages of this type of coverage.Presnap it looks like the Jaguars are aligned in a basic Cover 3 zone.Many describe the Jaguars as a Cover 3 team frequently since their defensive system was installed under former head coach Gus Bradley. Before he was in Jacksonville, Bradley was defensive coordinator in Seattle as the Legion of Boom’s emerged. The Seahawks were also known as a Cover 3 team.Offenses beat zone defenses by flooding those zones with receivers. If you put two receivers into the zone of one defender, somebody is going to be open.A play with a vertical route on the outside and a corner route out of the slot is a Cover 3 beater.The deep corner at the top of the picture is going to have to go deep with the vertical receiver on the outside. If the guy running the corner route out of the slot goes under that vertical route, he is going to be open. The cornerback will be run out of the play by the vertical route.But there is a way for the defense to counter it if the coverage is not straight zone. What if that corner at the top of the picture is assigned the vertical route for the outside receiver, and a linebacker is responsible covering a corner route out of the slot?What appeared to be zone really isn’t, and there isn’t the anticipated open receiver.At this point you might be asking, “How do you know this wasn’t just man to man? Couldn’t the slot receiver have been the linebacker’s man?Well, Odell Beckham, Jr. was running a shallow cross on this play. He ended up matching up on linebackers and safeties. Call me crazy, but I don’t think a defense is going to draw up a man to man coverage on Odell against those types of players. Those guys were simply responsible for shallow crossing routes.Another example came during Jacksonville’s Week 2 win over the Patriots. New England had a slant/flat to the top of the picture.Even though he is initially lined up on the outside on Rob Gronkowski, Jalen Ramsey (red) is responsible for a flat route, and that is where he has his eyes. When he sees James White running to the flat, he takes off and releases Gronkowski because Barry Church (deep yellow) is responsible for deep routes, while Telvin Smith (shallow yellow) is responsible for shallow routes over the middle like slants.The coverage morphs depending on the route combination. Had both White and Gronkowski run vertical routes, Rasmey would have been responsible for carrying Gronkowski down the field [url=http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/darron-lee-jersey]Womens Darron Lee Jersey[/url] , while Church would have had White. This shows one of the big advantages of this type of coverage. Because the coverage assignments changes depending on the route combinations, the defense is always in a position to take away what the offense wants to do. The first play against the Giants is an example. The defense prevented a hole against a zone from opening. This example shows another benefit. The defense will always have something built into the play to prevent being outnumbered down the field such as three verticals against a Cover 2 with a pair of deep defenders or four verticals against three deep defenders playing Cover 3. The first responsibility will always be defending against a vertical deep route.Just as there are advantages, there also are disadvantages built into these coverages. The first is the complexity. On the plus side, this complexity makes the coverages more difficult for the quarterback to read. But if a concept is complex to the offensive players facing it, it is also going to be complex to the defensive players running it. Defenders have to read routes quickly. A defender’s assignment on any given play can vary wildly depending on the routes the offense calls, and the defender won’t know which assignment is his until after the ball is snapped. One bad read by one defender can lead to a bust in coverage and a big play.Another problem is familiar to more traditional zone coverage. Since defenders are assigned routes to cover instead of specific receivers, it is easy to run into mismatches such as Odell Beckham, Jr. against a linebacker.The Jaguars have certain elements built into their defense to combat that.Take this play. Will Fuller goes into motion. Against a more traditional zone, A.J. Bouye would not follow him. That would leave Fuller against a safety. Wide receiver vs. safety matchups are not good for the defense.In this instance, however, Bouye does follow Fuller.This offers the offense the illusion of man to man coverage. Usually when a receiver in motion is followed by a corner, that corner is doing so because he has that receiver in man. What the Jaguars do, however, is shift their safeties. As a result, a safety takes Bouye’s original spot and his original routes. Bouye takes over the assignment of a safety after he follows Fuller in motion and ends up where that safety originally was. He is better equipped to handle this assignment than the safety since a wide receiver is now running those routes after the motion.On this play, both receivers at the top of the picture run vertical routes so both cornerbacks are responsible for carrying them deep. After the motion and this initial movement off the snap, it looks like man coverage. It isn’t though. Bouye is positioned deep and to the outside of the receiver because a linebacker is responsible for any route that breaks over the middle.And there is a safety there to take away a deep middle route like a post.On the other side of the field is the safety who replaced Bouye to take away a vertical route and a linebacker to undercut anything shallower.On the first play [url=http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/jason-myers-jersey]Womens Jason Myers Jersey[/url] , you saw a coverage that initially looked like zone and morphed into something resembling man. On this play, it initially looks like man and morphs into something resembling zone.This isn’t easy for a rookie quarterback to face. Is he facing zone? Is he facing man? The fact the Jaguars also run traditional zone and man coverages adds even more doubt.These coverages render presnap reads useless because defensive assignments are only determined after the snap once receivers get into their routes. When you add a ferocious four man pass rush as the Jaguars have, it leaves the quarterback little time to decipher a complex coverage, find a window, and make an accurate throw. Adding in that type of pass rush also increases the odds of a big mistake.Such is Sam Darnold’s dilemma on Sunday.Jets Whose Stock Plummeted Against the Giants Eric Tomlinson - If you’ve followed this site since the start of last season, you would know that I have long been a staunch supporter of Eric Tomlinson, even toying with placing him on my top ten roster power rankings at a point during the 2017 season.However, that relationship has sadly crumbled to dust. I would not like for Tomlinson to make this roster. Known solely for his blocking ability, Tomlinson has struggled to produce in that area throughout the preseason, standing out most terribly against the Giants. He compiled two false start penalties, and added this gem in pass protection:Every tight end struggled against the Giants, but Tomlinson is no longer thriving with his one tool that made him a viable player. Chris Herndon, Clive Walford, and Neal Sterling all possess far more upside as receivers and have been comparable if not much better as blockers. It would be a shame in my eyes if one of those three players missed the final 53 in favor of Tomlinson.Trenton Cannon - After muffing two punts against the Falcons, Cannon fumbled away a kick return on Friday night. He has eliminated himself from consideration at either returner spot, all but securing Andre Roberts’ roster spot.However, Cannon did add 4 receptions for 30 yards and 5 carries for 24 yards against the Giants. Though he hasn’t found that big play yet [url=http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/isaiah-crowell-jersey]Authentic Isaiah Crowell Jersey[/url] , he’s flashed some quick change of direction ability and been efficient given his surroundings. Through three games, Cannon has 63 rushing yards on 16 carries, a 3.94 yards per carry average that while mediocre easily tops the other four backs that have carried the rock for the Jets so far. Cannon’s 7 receptions also lead the team.While he has certainly not helped himself with these muffs, it seems that Cannon still has a solid shot of sticking on the roster with the way the final 53 is shaping out.Juston Burris - Burris struggled in his relief appearance and has done nothing to help himself earn a roster spot at the bottom of the cornerback depth chart.Chad Hansen - ArDarius Stewart finally showed up and made a couple of plays in the receiving game, while Hansen continues to straggle for playing time and fail to make plays.Dimitri Flowers - The undrafted free agent who was once considered to have a great chance at a roster spot has been outperformed by Lawrence Thomas and relegated to small portions of snaps with the backups throughout the preseason. Against the Giants, Flowers compiled only 3 snaps. It doesn’t seem like he has a shot at the roster anymore.Brent Qvale - While the rest of the first team offensive line actually had an improved game, Qvale continues to struggle mightily week after week in both the run and pass games. It’s puzzling as to why the team continues to feature him as a primary backup instead of giving some other competitors a bit of burn just to see what they’ve got. Qvale is clearly a far below replacement level backup. As has already been the case in recent seasons, the Jets will be in trouble if their starting offensive line cannot stay healthy, as if that starting unit wasn’t already stacked with question marks when they are healthy.Lorenzo Mauldin - Hopeful projection was probably the only trait that might have given Mauldin a case for the roster as he has failed to both stay healthy and produce throughout the offseason. Now, with the far younger Frankie Luvu showing up with a sack, in addition to Mauldin failing to gain any playing time, Mauldin’s time seems to be running out. Draft pedigree is his only hope, but it certainly should not be enough to save him, even in this barren position group.
add to favorites Just how much better is A.J. Cann playing? Cottages
Move over Jacksonville Jaguars Hats , Leonardo — there’s a new renaissance man and he happens to be plying his trade in Duval County.Viewed by fans as a potential weak link in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ blocking armor heading into the season, fourth-year right guard AJ Cann has been a pleasant surprise. Jeff Lageman even went so far as to say that he outperformed first-team All-Pro teammate Andrew Norwell (who played very well) on his “Check the Tape Tuesday” appearance on the Jaguars Today radio program this morning.It has been well documented to this point that the impetus for Cann’s vastly improved technique is the NFL’s new emphasis on the helmet rule. Simply not dropping his head and keeping his eyes on his target with perpendicular positioning from the ground has largely rectified Cann’s previous balance issues and has mitigated his habit of blindly thrusting his upper body at defenders. Add these adjustments to an augmented offseason dedication (Cann has been training with teammates Cam Robinson and Jermey Parnell at offensive lineman guru Duke Manyweather’s training facility in Forth Worth, Texas), and you don’t just have a better player.You have a brand new player.Enough heaping of praise, let’s see examples of Cann’s new-and-improved technique.Pass blockingYou’ll often hear the term “anchor” with offensive linemen, and it’s something Cann was inconsistent with thus far in his career. When Cann would drop his head, it caused his shoulders and his momentum to move forward, and all of a sudden, he was bending at his waist rather than with his knees. Another pass blocking facet that Cann has seemingly improved is his “mirroring” ability, which stems from good footwork to get his body ahead of the rush move and maintain balance. Cann had a habit of getting his feet stuck in the mud last season, and so far in 2018, he seems much lighter on his feet, allowing him to absorb more bull rushes and smother power-to-speed stacks.Run blockingCann had a poor 56.2 PFF grade as a run blocker last season, and a big issue for his ineffectiveness was his inability to drive his legs and create ample push to reach and create a seal for the runner. Cann was also not extending his hands and relying too much on his strength and size rather than technique. By timing his strike better and utilizing his core and and quads to create push off the snap to maintain leverage and seal off rush lanes, this should create more room for the ball carrier this season.Second levelIf the Jaguars want to generate more explosive plays, whether in the run game or manufactured through screen passes, Cann must be more adept at matriculating into the second level to neutralize opposing linebackers. There is no second level, however Jacksonville Jaguars Womens Hoodie , if the runner can’t get past the first level, and too often last season Cann failed to make deliberate contact with the lineman immediately across from him. This allowed the defender to suffocate space into the backfield and essentially take away the ability for the runner to use his vision. If Cann sufficiently punches and advances with urgency this season, Leonard Fournette should greatly increase his 3.9 yards per carry average.For Cann, a renewed commitment to the game comes at a perfect time in his career. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, there is no doubt that Cann’s ears perked upon the announcement of Patriots right guard Shaq Mason’s new contract extension (five years and $50 million). While Cann isn’t exactly broke — he’s earning a $1.9 million base salary in 2018 per Spotrac — a potential raise to $10 million per year is certainly an intriguing carrot in a healthy financial garden for interior offensive lineman. Mason is a very good player, but a strong 2018 campaign from Cann could garner enough momentum to drive into Mason’s financial neighborhood. When you add Cann’s impressive availability — he started 51 games in four years at South Carolina and 44 games in three years with Jacksonville — he becomes an even hotter commodity.It’s only three games in preseason, I know, but if Cann can play in even the same stratosphere of Andrew Norwell and Brandon Linder on the interior, this run game can absolutely take off in 2018.If it does, Leonard Fournette may need to splurge on something a little more extravagant than Louis Vuitton bags after this season.Grade the 2018 Jacksonville Jaguars: How did the offense do in the first quarter? As the Jacksonville Jaguars get ready to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, let’s take a look back at how they got here.We’ll be grading the offense, defense, and special teams separately through the week and up first — the offense!Alfie Crow (@AlfieBCC)The Jaguars offense has been an up and down affair and has been missing some pieces, but through the first four games of the season I think it’s been OK. The Titans always give the Jaguars offense fits, because they play a type of game that drags teams down into the mud and fights them. To beat that, you need consistency at quarterback and well... That’s just not Blake. Conversely, the Jaguars have had two games where their offense was just straight up electric. I think the truth is somewhere between the Jets game and the Giants game, but overall it’s been pretty solid and the offensive line Womens Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , even with the injuries, has been fantastic.Grade: BRyan Day (@ryaneatscake)The offense runs through the quarterback no matter what the team tries to do in the run game. Leonard Fournette has missed a little more than three games of total playing time, leaving before halftime in Weeks 1 and 4 and missing the two games in between entirely. As Blake Bortles goes, so does this offense, which has looked good two weeks, meh one week, and awful another. That’s good enough to get to 3-1 but it’ll need some consistency as we go into the second quarter of the year. I’ve got them between a C+ and a B- and I’ll give them the edge because they beat Tom Brady and that was fun to watch.Grade: B-Jon Kirland (@BCBCouch)The offensive line has been solid and on pace to allow only 24 sacks this season. T.J. Yeldon has been better than expected, when healthy, in filling in for Leonard Fournette, the young receiver trio is coming along, and the unsung hero in my opinion has been Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who has become a younger Marcedes Lewis, somewhat unexpectedly. Bortles has really only had one awful game (Tennessee), one average at best game (Giants), and two jaw-dropping games (Patriots and Jets). In my opinion, two solid A games boost them up, but an F versus the Titans that may haunt them in December, drags them down here.Grade: C+Ryan O’Bleness (@ryanobleness)The offense has had two very strong games and two games that left a lot to be desired. The offensive explosions against the New York Jets and New England Patriots were a lot of fun to watch www.jaguarscheapshop.com , and I think it makes it obvious that the success of the offense hinges on the play of Blake Bortles — especially with Leonard Fournette sidelined. T.J. Yeldon has stepped up and done an admiral job filling in for Fournette, but I still think the offense is much stronger with a fully healthy Fournette in the backfield. The problem is that the offense will remain as inconsistent as Bortles plays. That said, this team could be unstoppable if Bortles is able to put it all together throughout the season like he did this past Sunday. Grade: BBrian Fullford (@iambwf)I may be a bit more optimistic than my fellow writers. Two games at “A”, one at “F”, and one at “C” quality do not tell the whole story. Amidst injuries the offensive line has protected Blake and opened running lanes. The receiving corps has looked young but are making big plays. Leonard Fournette’s injury exploits a depth problem at running back, but T.J. Yeldon has stepped up as a multi-dimensional asset. Blake is Blake, and we’ll rise and fall on his confidence waves all season. Still, he’s climbing the pocket and making the throws with greater consistency earlier in the season than we have seen in the past.They key for me is the ability of the coaches to adapt to personnel and competition, and for the most part they have optimized what they have. They are letting Blake throw the ball more, which surely helps a Yeldon in the running game.All that said, the inability to beat the Titans is inexcusable and it’s only for my mercy that this isn’t a “C-”. On top of that, seven turnovers isn’t a confidence boost. This unit must string together some consistency.Grade: C+Filip Prus (@JaxonFil)The Jaguars offense has been hot and cold throughout the first four weeks of the season. On any given week, Blake Bortles has struggled to hit an open receiver from six yards out to surpassing a career high in passing yards to not being able. It may be a little unfair due to their franchise fulcrum Leonard Fournette not being available, but his absence has allowed Nathaniel Hackett to flourish for three out of the four games with out-of-the-box play calling and high percentage route running to manufacture the run game with screens and crossers. Statistically, they currently rank 15th in yards per game and are tied for the fifth-most giveaways with seven.Grade: C+

Let’s find the most important play of yesterday’s game between the Jets and the Jaguars. In such a thorough domination New York Jets Womens T-Shirt , people often half-jokingly suggest it was the kickoff, but let’s dig deeper.I am sure a number of people will highlight some of Todd Bowles’ suspect decisions to not go for it on a pair of fourth downs late in the game. However, the Jets were way behind at that point. The game was probably lost by that point.I look to T.J. Yeldon’s 31 yard touchdown late in yesterday’s second quarter. That put Jacksonville up 13-0. To that point the Jaguars had largely dominated, but the game was within one score. It was an uncomfortable stretch for the Jaguars. In many instances, teams pay for not putting away an opponent when they have the chance early. Sometimes one big play the other way can change the dynamics of a game. The Jets were one turnover away from perhaps swinging things.The Yeldon touchdown put the Jaguars up two scores. Given the quality of Jacksonville’s defense and the way the Jets offense was struggling New York Jets Hats , that one play made a comeback a huge uphill climb. I think this was the most important play of the game.What is your most important play?Jets 2018 Roster Countdown: Number 38 Xavier Coleman Xavier Coleman is next up in our Jets roster countdown.Name: Xavier ColemanNumber: 38Year with Jets: 2ndProjected Role: Cornerback depth or practice squaderHis 2017: Coleman signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Portland State.

add to favorites Taven Bryan earns praise from Jaguars veteran Cottages
The Jacksonville Jaguars concluded their second joint practice with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Cam Robinson Jersey , though it was not without some weather hiccups. The practice was delayed and moved inside due to inclement weather, but once it passed it moved back outside. It was probably an odd practice back for Jaguars first round pick Taven Bryan, who has been sidelined with an abdominal injury, but his teammates were happy to have him back in the fold.“I want to say welcome back! It has been too long. Somebody has to get those reps, so the young guys, they usually get a lot of reps,” Jaguars veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell said after practice when asked if it was good to have Bryan back on the field. “It is fun when you get to tease him for being out and making it hard for other people. We gave him a hard time. He came back today with a big smile on his face and excited to make plays. He flew around, had some fun today. I have to watch the tape to really see how he did, but it is always good to have him out there. By all accounts Bryan has shown everything the Jaguars have wanted to see so far. In organized team activities (OTAs) without pads he flashed his athleticism. Once the pads went on he showed his strength and now he just needs to get under the lights in the preseason during “live” reps and see if he can put everything together. Not only has Bryan shown the physical traits the team is looking for, but it sounds like he’s got the right attitude for a rookie as well, and veterans are taking notice.“I love it. He is the best rookie I have had in my career, which is a big statement,” Campbell added about Bryan’s attitude. “Some guys might get upset about that. He really has done everything that we have asked of him. He has done it with a smile on his face and he is just a good guy to be around.”“He came in with the mentality that he wants to soak up knowledge and he wants to get better every day. He wants to be dependable, and he is showing us that we can depend on him,” Campbell added when asked what made Bryan’s attitude so great.Bryan missed the Jaguars first preseason game with an abdominal injury, to which the team indicated it was more a precaution than the injury being serious. Bryan has been back at practice and by all accounts should be ready to play on Saturday against the Vikings.MyBookie thinks the Jaguars and Dez Bryant are a good bet Much has been said about the fit of Dez Bryant and the Jacksonville Jaguars. With the injury to Marqise Lee, some immediately felt the ex-Cowboys standout would be the obvious choice to fill the roster gap. Our Ryan Day reported Doug Marrone would not look outside of the present roster for help at the wide receiver position. While he did use the word “no” in his answer, he did note improving the team is still the top priority.While one might read this as a definitive statement Authentic Leonard Fournette Jersey , Doug surely left the door open in stating this business demands improvement. While the sentiment today, should upcoming practices, and pre-season game four, disclose an inability to compensate for Lee’s absence, then the Jaguars may look at other options.MyBookie has weighed in on who the front-runner is to sign Dez, and the Jaguars are one of the teams the odds makers like. Best Bet To Sign Dez BryantTeamOddsTeamOddsMyBookieMyBookie did not disclose what data was used to formulate these odds, but it is clear stability at the quarterback position is not a primary motivating factor. Of the seven teams listed, only two field what would be considered upper tier quarterbacks, those being New England and Seattle. The Giants, Titans, and Jaguars offer arguably average at best signal callers, while Arizona and Cleveland are teams looking to figure out who their starter will be.Need at the wide receiver spot presents as the most reasonable assumption for the seven listed. Apart from Larry Fitzgerald in Arizona and Odell Beckham Jr. in New York, these clubs lack an established playmaker. Even in Cleveland they still have a proven possession guy in Jarvis Landry, while some, like Jacksonville, lack anyone with extensive NFL experience. If the argument is need, then Jacksonville may present as a good bet. Jacksonville may be that spot where Bryant can run simple routes, using his big body to get separation. If there is something Bortles excels at it is the slant route. Yet Youth Calais Campbell Jersey , when it comes to Dez he brings more than just experience. There is the cultural fit, along with the physical capabilities.Yahoo’s Charles Robinson reported Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson would first consider how Bryant fits in with present players, specifically how Dez and Josh Gordon would work together. A stable place in New England, a team whose culture demands a team first attitude, and with Tom Brady a proven winner, is equally questionable. According to ex-Patriots wide receiver Troy Brown, it goes beyond personality.USA Today’s Nate Davis, on the other hand, seems to think Bryant is healthy enough to be an asset to the Jaguars offense, though he seems to cut the legs out from under his argument as he is making itIt has been reported that Bryant still sees himself as a number one receiver, and if true, the very idea that Bryant could be a red zone target for a run first team seems misplaced.Looking at the team culture created by Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone, it is hard to see the Jaguars as a good bet to land Dez Bryant even if the need argument is granted. Consider how Dante Fowler Jr.’s antics were handled. This is not a team to welcome any form of locker room toxicity that would be a distraction to their goal of being a Super Bowl contender.Dez Bryant’s desire to only sign a one-year contract, and the thoughts of those who feel he does not carry the value Dez sees in himself, may be an indication the best bet to make is that he does not play in 2018.

The Los Angeles Angels placed pitcher Garrett Richards on the 10-day disabled list due to ulnar collateral ligament damage in his right elbow. General manager Billy Eppler said before Wednesday’s game against Seattle that options to treat the injury will be decided on at a later date. Eppler said Richards would decide on ”conservative care” or season-ending Tommy John surgery. This is the third straight season that Richards has dealt with an arm injury.

Richards made his second start on Tuesday since returning from the 10-day disabled list because of a left hamstring strain. He gave up three runs on four hits over 2 2/3 innings and left the game in the middle of an at-bat in the third inning against Seattle’s Nelson Cruz. — The Chiefs were awarded tight end Alex Ellis off waivers from the New Orleans Saints and released defensive tackle Stefan Charles as part of a series of roster moves Tuesday.

New Jersey’s casinos and racetracks are waiting for the starter’s gun to begin offering sports betting now that the state Legislature has approved a bill to legalize it. All eyes were on Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday Authentic Nail Yakupov Jersey , immediately after the state Assembly and Senate unanimously passed a bill to allow sports betting three weeks after winning a U.S. Supreme Court case that cleared the way for them and all other states to do so. Casinos and racetracks itched to begin taking bets on baseball, basketball, soccer and other sports. But the Democratic governor would not signal whether he would sign the bill – or even when he might decide. ”He said he wants to act quickly, but the legislation will be subject to the same thorough review that all legislation sent to him for signature is subject to,” said his spokesman, Dan Bryan. While some top lawmakers said they expected Monmouth Park, a racetrack near the Jersey shore in Oceanport, to begin taking bets Friday, others said they expected Murphy to consider the bill during the weekend before acting. Adding to the confusion was an action the legislators took before approving the bill: They stripped out a provision that would have prohibited any casino or track from beginning to offer sports betting before the bill was signed. Republican state Sen. Declan O’Scanlan said that technically enabled Monmouth to begin taking sports bets right away. John Heims, a spokesman for the track, said it would not take any sports bets Thursday night Alex Killorn Jersey Kids , adding it ”should know soon when we are starting.” Other first-day movers would likely include Atlantic City’s Borgata casino. Three weeks ago, New Jersey prevailed in a Supreme Court case that struck down a federal law limiting sports betting to just four states. Now, any state is free to adopt laws legalizing it, and analysts expect most to do so. A report this week by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming predicted that only six states will not have approved sports betting by 2023. Former state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, who led the fight for sports betting for eight years, predicted it will help turn around Atlantic City, where casino gambling had been in decline. The state’s casinos and racetracks would be able to offer sports betting once the governor signs the bill. ”Today is the day that New Jersey gets the same benefits that Las Vegas does,” he said. ”During the Super Bowl or the NACC Tournament, in Las Vegas you can’t get a hotel room and Atlantic City is a ghost town. This will change that.” Three of the professional sports leagues were not happy over the lack of ”integrity fee” payments they say would help them police betting patterns and called for better information sharing. In a joint statement, Major League Baseball, the NBA and the PGA Golf Tournament called on Murphy to ”fix” the bill before acting on it. ”The legislation does not include basic protections to mitigate risks to the integrity of sports and to ensure fairness for New Jersey consumers Jacob Markstrom Jersey ,” they said. ”The bill allows for the creation of non-transparent betting markets that deny sports leagues critical tools to monitor betting activity and conduct integrity investigations. Additionally, the bill does not require casinos or the regulator to notify sports leagues of potential match fixing or other improper conduct.” The bill would allow Atlantic City casinos and racetracks, including Monmouth, the Meadowlands and Freehold Raceway, to offer sports betting. A provision also would allow it at the former Atlantic City Race Course if that facility were to reopen. The bill sets the tax rate for casinos at 8.5 percent, with an additional 1.25 percent payment to help market Atlantic City. The 1.25 percent add-on fee for tracks would be split among the host community and the county in which the track operates. Internet bets would be taxed at 13 percent. Internet betting would begin 30 days after the rest of the law takes effect. The bill also clears away obstacles for any of Atlantic City’s casinos to offer sports betting, adding clauses to allow the Borgata, Caesars, Harrah’s, Bally’s and the Golden Nugget to offer sports bets despite ownership or partial ownership of professional sports teams. A last-minute change allowed the Golden Nugget to take sports bets, despite the fact that its owner Anthony Beauvillier Jersey , Texas Billionaire Tilman Fertitta, also owns the NBA’s Houston Rockets. The bill previously shut the Golden Nugget out of sports betting, but a change allowed it to offer bets on sports other than basketball. Fertitta thanked New Jersey for making the change and said he eventually hopes to convince state regulators to let the Golden Nugget take bets on basketball teams other than the Rockets, as Nevada regulators allow. — Follow Wayne Parry at A look at what’s happening around the majors Thursday: MIDSUMMER SKID The Nationals open a series against Miami hoping to end a five-game skid and get back to .500. Washington fell to 42-43 with a loss to Boston on Wednesday, the first time the preseason NL East favorites have been under .500 this late in the year since being 60-61 on Aug. 21, 2015. The Nationals held a players’ only meeting after a 3-0 loss to the Red Sox highlighted by Adam Eaton’s throwing error and a wild pitch from Ryan Madson. Jeremy Hellickson (2-1, 2.63) makes his second start since returning from the DL, while Marlins righty Pablo Lopez (1-0, 3.00) makes his second MLB start. NOT VERY VERLANDER Justin Verlander (9-4, 2.12) tries to stop a personal slide when the Astros open a series against the White Sox. Verlander has allowed nine runs in 11 2/3 innings over his past two starts, taking losses to Toronto (four runs) and Tampa Bay (five runs). Verlander hasn’t allowed four or more earned runs in three straight starts since June 2014 while with Detroit. Carlos Rodon (1-3 Nicklas Backstrom Jersey , 4.55) is up for Chicago. CUETO’S BACK Johnny Cueto is expected to be reinstated from the disabled list and pitch when the Giants open a four-game series against the Cardinals. Cueto was placed on the disabled list May 1 with inflammation in his right elbow. A few days later, he visited Dr. James Andrews, who diagnosed him with a strained elbow. Cueto is 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA in five starts this season. The Giants are 41-21 in his starts since he joined the team in 2016. PITCHING IN Angels rookie Jaime Barria will start against AL West-leading Seattle in place of Tyler Skaggs a day after the left-hander went on the DL with a thigh strain. Barria is making his 12th start of the season and has given up two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts.

Grimm has a 13.50 ERA this season Darren Helm Jersey , but a 3.18 ERA in six games since he returned from his first stint on the DL on June 12 for lower back stiffness. Adam (0-1) is returning for another stint in the majors, with a 4.70 ERA in 14 games earlier this season with Kansas City. — As the Broncos try to improve their offensive, they need to improve their offensive line. And they’ll try to do that with the assistance of one of the best offensive line coaches the NFL has ever seen. Via Mike Klis of 9news.com Joe Thornton Jersey , Howard Mudd is serving as a consultant to the Broncos during Organized Team Activities. Mudd, 76, perhaps is best known for his time with the Colts. As Klis notes Sergei Boikov Jersey , the Colts allowed the fewest sacks in the league during Mudd’s 12 years in Indianapolis. Mudd has served as offensive line coach with six other teams. He retired after the 2012 season. And while there’s no indication that this unretirement currently will entail anything more than offseason consulting, anything that Denver offensive line coaches Sean Kugler and Chris Strausser can glean from Mudd will be a plus. http://www.officialusafootballs.com/detroit-lions

After spending most of his first four seasons in Minnesota as a part-time back Ibraheim Campbell Jersey , Jerick McKinnon wanted to find a spot in free agency where he could show off his ability as a featured runner. San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan saw enough from his film over those years to decide he was the player they wanted to be their starting running back, giving him a four-year deal that will guarantee him nearly $12 million in 2018. "It was big for me," McKinnon said Thursday. "It was what I was hoping to have and looking for instead of staying in Minnesota and being in that third-down back role. I was looking for that opportunity. I'm glad this organization, this team, coach Shanahan felt strong enough about me and brought me in. I believe it's the perfect fit." The 49ers said they heavily targeted McKinnon and center Weston Richburg as players they wanted to acquire early in free agency. Richburg agreed to a five-year deal on Wednesday and both players were introduced at a news conference Thursday. McKinnon spent four years in Minnesota mostly as a backup after being drafted in the third round in 2014 after playing mostly quarterback in college at Georgia Southern. He has rushed for 1 Paul Hornung Jersey ,918 yards with average of 4.0 yards per carry, has 142 catches for 984 yards, and has scored 12 touchdowns. McKinnon had his most productive season last year when he ran for a career-high 570 yards,, while setting personal bests with 51 catches for 421 yards. The addition of McKinnon replaces Carlos Hyde Chris Ivory Jersey , who is leaving as a free agent for Cleveland. McKinnon has more speed and is a better receiving threat than Hyde and should fit well into Shanahan's offense. "He's good enough to make it as a runner alone in this league. He's good enough to make it in the pass game as just a third down threat alone, but when you can do both of those, it gives you a lot of freedom as a coach," Shanahan said. "Based off of what downs you put him in and that when you do put him in, the defense doesn't know exactly what type of plays you're trying to run because he can do it all." Richburg spent the past four seasons with the New York Giants but played only four games last year because of a concussion. He began his career as a left guard before moving to center in 2015. He played there the past three seasons and is considered one of the top pass-blocking players at the position and has the athleticism to thrive in Shanahan's zone-running scheme. The Niners are hoping Richburg has a similar impact in San Francisco as Alex Mack had in Atlanta when he joined the Falcons when Shanahan was offensive coordinator there. "I've been around some real good ones in my career Jim McMahon Jersey ," Shanahan said. "He's put it all on tape and he looks right there with all those guys and that's why I value him a ton off the tape. Didn't know a ton about him until I turned on the tape and it was as good as I've seen." With Richburg in place, the Niners traded last year's starting center Daniel Kilgore to Miami in a deal that included a swap of seventh-round picks. The 49ers had signed Kilgore to a three-year extension last month but felt Richburg was the better option at center so worked to find a new spot for Kilgore. It's been a busy offseason already for San Francisco. The Niners signed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a five-year deal last month before he even hit free agency, signed cornerback Richard Sherman after he was cut by Seattle, re-signed defensive lineman Cassius Marsh and offensive lineman Garry Gilliam and gave an extension to receiver Marquise Goodwin. The team also signed defensive lineman Jeremiah Attaochu to a one-year deal Thursday to help bolster the pass rush and still could make a few more moves to upgrade a team that won its final five games last season after Garoppolo took over as starter to finish 6-10. "We feel like we've improved our team greatly and that excites us," general manager John Lynch said. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department says it is investigating the circumstances of former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr.’s arrest on suspicion of burglary. The department told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Monday that Winslow has given inconsistent and varied statements relating to his presence in a mobile home in Encinitas. Winslow was arrested June 7 after a resident reported seeing a stranger walk into a neighboring residence. Winslow’s publicist Denise White says he was at the park to look for a home for his mother-in-law and that his wife attends church with the elderly couple that lives in the mobile home where he was seen. She says nothing was touched. White released a statement from defense attorney Harvey A. Steinberg saying Winslow looks forward to being vindicated. — Womens Dorian O'Daniel Jersey
