 Derrick Jones is the next player in our Jets roster countdown.Name: Derrick JonesNumber: 31Year with Jets: 2ndProjected Role: Dime backHis 2017: The Jets picked Jones in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. He made the 53 man roster out of training camp but was a regular scratch on gameday.2018 will be a success if: Jones can start to get some regular playing time in subpackages and succeed as the number four cornerback. That is the natural next step in his career. Marcus Williams set the gold standard for Jets dime backs in 2015. I doubt Jones will approach the 6 interceptions Williams had in limited playing time New York Jets Hoodie , but the team did draft him in part due to the ball skills that come from being a converted wide receiver. One on one against relatively weak number four receivers, the Jets are probably hoping for some playmaking.Odds of making the roster: A strong training camp has Jones as Probable (75-99%).Jets vs Lions: Five Bold Predictions It’s here, oh, it’s finally here! Monday is opening day of the 2018 Jets season, but it’s so much more than that. On September 10, under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, the beginning of the Sam Era unfolds in front of a nation wide audience. as Sam Darnold makes his debut. After four weeks of scintillating preseason football we finally get to see the Jets new star and his compadres in real NFL action Cheap Customized New York Jets Jerseys , taking on the Detroit Lions. So it’s time for another season of hilariously inept Bold Predictions.This week is pretty much impossible to predict. The first week of the season every team is filled with hopes and dreams but nobody is quite sure how anything will unfold. Will the youngsters develop? Can the old guys squeeze out one more good year? How will the prized free agents work out? Will the new coaches work some magic or go down in flames? Nobody knows, but here at Bold Predictions I nonetheless boldly go where angels fear to tread. I will put my fine good ok not completely reprehensible reputation on the line and try to predict the unpredictable. Should be good for some giggles.Disclaimer: A Bold Prediction is not something that is likely or probable to happen. Bold Predictions are blind guesses that are laughably optimistic beyond what anyone can reasonably expect to happen, but not so far as to be virtually impossible. Saying that Leonard Williams will get a sack is not a Bold Prediction, nor is saying that Bilal Powell will run for 650 yards. By definition, Bold Predictions are unlikely, but not impossible, to occur. Since this is a Jets site www.jetsauthorizedshops.com , they are also pro-Jets predictions. As always, the Final Score prediction is meant to be realistic, not a Bold Prediction.Here are my five Bold Predictions for Monday’s game:1. Sam Darnold. Never bury the lead, right? Gotta start with Sam. Let’s see, what will Sam do? How about this: Sam Darnold will kill it. 275+ passing yards, 2+ touchdowns, no turnovers and a passer rating of 100+. Right out of the gate and Sam dominates. Welcome to the NFL our prodigal son.2. Somebody’s gotta catch those Darnold darts New York Jets Womens T-Shirt , right? And who better to assist Sam’s sterling efforts than Neal Sterling? Our new starting tight end will have Jets fans dreaming of the days of Mickey Shuler. Well, at least fans who actually remember Mickey Shuler. Sterling goes off for 5+ catches, 80+ yards and a touchdown. Local (Belmar, NJ) boy makes good. 3. How about a punter prediction? We never have those, and punters are people too, or so the rumor goes. So here’s to you Lachlan Edwards. Lac booms his punts to the tune of a 54+ yard average, including one that goes 70+ yards.4. Enough talk New York Jets Hats , time to back it up. Jamal Adams sheds his iron mitts for a soft pair of hands and picks off Matthew Stafford, taking it to the house.5. The Jets defense holds the Lions offense to less than 60 yards rushing and less than3 yards per carry.And a bonus prediction: Jets special teams will not surrender a single kick return over 20 yards nor a punt return over 10 yards. Wouldn’t that be weird?Final Score: Koolaid is nice, but too much ismaking me a bit queasy. Coming back to reality, a rookie quarterback on the road on prime time is a difficult way to start the season. Stafford and company light up the Jets in the face of the novel Jets no pressure defensive approach. Lions 27, Jets 20.

 The Jacksonville Jaguars defense was absolutely http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/jalen-ramsey-jersey-cheap , positively, mind-blowingly good last season. It will probably take a while to realize what a gift we had in 2017, but rest assured — we will be toasting that unit for a while.But how large is the window for the defense? Can they continue to perform at an elite level? They’re bringing back everyone except the nickel cornerback and SAM linebacker and they added a first round draft pick in Taven Bryan and seem to have struck seventh round gold in rookie linebacker Leon Jacobs.This week Youth Leonard Fournette Jersey , we’re taking a look at several aspects of this year’s Jaguars team with the help of Football Outsider’s Andrew Potter who was kind enough to explain how he thinks this year’s defense will compare to last year.What do you think? Will the defense regress or will it — wait for it — actually improve?Let us know in the comments below!The 2018 Jacksonville Jaguars will (and should) be judged by if they win a Super Bowl or not I love the Jacksonville Jaguars. I love our goofy Iron Man of a quarterback who has missed one snap due to injury in his career because missing one snap and only one snap is an incredibly Blake Bortles thing to do.I love that we’re a power run team in a four verts world and that despite the fact you want to load the box we’re still gonna run it anyway because that’s who we are and to hell with what you think.I love that our star cornerback will expose you and he doesn’t give a damn how many All-Pro years you’ve got — and if you won’t see him after y’all are both kicked out of the game, well, we’re gonna have to get the police involved.I love that Super Bowl winning quarterbacks measure themselves after facing our secondary and can only wonder aloud if they’ve got it anymore.I love that our running back waves on hits and our linebacker mockingly points and laughs at you and another will wave L’s at your bench and our hatin’ ass fans won’t back down if you climb into the stands because you’re not gonna Ron Artest us.Last season was totally unexpected. I thought we’d be in contention for the division title. I expected our running game to be good and our secondary to be good and for Doug Marrone to be good.And while all those things are true http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/leonard-fournette-jersey-cheap , good was not enough. It’s like saying the Northern Lights look good. No. An aurora borealis is breathtaking and awe-inspiring and worthy of respect and fear because it’s unlike anything you’ve ever goddamn seen and you think you understand it but you don’t and you never will.We were loud and brash and reckless and fun as hell. We were within a few bad calls of a Super Bowl after a decade of losing seasons. A decade.Last year, I said I wanted to judge the season by incremental improvement. Just get better. Just get a little better.This season, I’m judging the season by one thing — a championship. The window is open. The secondary is (somehow) better. The pass rush is (somehow) better. The run game is (somehow) better. The coaching is (somehow) better. And the quarterback is good enough.Go Jaguars.

The Oakland Raiders are reportedly looking to deal superstar defensive end Khalil Mack for two (two!) first round draft picks and at least seven teams are interested to get in on the action http://www.authenticsjacksonvillejaguars.com/cheap-josh-lambo-jersey , according to Jason La Canfora.Before we begin, please say a prayer that the Indianapolis Colts don’t get to him.Okay, done? Good.With such a steep asking price, should the Jacksonville Jaguars be interested? After all, their defense is stacked with a variety of different pass rushers — from Yannick Ngakoue on the edge and Taven Bryan, Calais Campbell, and Malik Jackson all providing more than ample interior rush ability. And the salary cap consequences could be pretty serious. All one has to do is look at Aaron Donald signing a $135 million contract to know that Mack will get something similar, if not a little lower, in the near future.On the other side, uh, I don’t know... let’s get nuts, right? The Jaguars have a short window and why not break the bank on an elite pass rusher averaging over 10 sacks a season in his first four seasons?So, what do you think? Should the Jaguars get crazy and mortgage away at least two future first round picks for Mack? Or is the team much better off continuing with the already strong defense they’ve built?Let us know in the comments below!What are the Jaguars going to do at running back? The Jacksonville Jaguars were thoroughly embarrassed by the upstart Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, losing 30-14. But in addition to the loss on the field, the Jaguars took another hit as running back Corey Grant is likely to miss the remainder of the season with a Lisfranc (foot) injury. Grant, while not an every down player, is an important player in an already thin running back group. With starter Leonard Fournette dealing with a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the majority of the season, things look bleak there. Jacksonville was extremely lucky on the injury front in 2017, but that has not been the case in 2018. Grant is the third key player the Jaguars have lost for the season (joining wide receiver Marqise Lee and left tackle Cam Robinson). In addition to the players out for the season, several other players such as the aforementioned Fournette, D.J. Hayden Youth Leonard Fournette Jersey , A.J. Cann, Brandon Linder, Calais Campbell and Austin Seferian-Jenkins have been dealing with with injuries in varying degrees throughout the season. T.J. Yeldon, who has been dealing with an ankle injury of his own, has actually played quite well as the lead back, but it is down to him and Brandon Wilds on the active roster. With Fournette expected to miss at least one more week (and probably more), it would be wise for the Jaguars to take a look at a few free agents. Last week, the Jaguars worked out former New York Giants running back Orleans Darkwa and former Cleveland Browns running back Matt Dayes. No deals came out of those two workouts, but if the Jaguars liked what they saw, they may feel compelled to sign one of the tailbacks. Here are a few more running backs available, according to Spotrac: Mike Gillislee: Arguably the best option on the free agent market right now, Gillislee has totaled 1,291 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, while averaging 4.7 yards per carry in his career. He has also caught 17 balls for 103 yards and an additional score. Gillislee has spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and, most recently, the New Orleans Saints who cut him this weekend to activate Mark Ingram. Gillislee could be a good addition in the backfield, but the Patriots are reportedly interested in re-signing him. Shane VereenMore of a pass-catching threat, Vereen may be a guy who can play a similar role to Grant, but with less speed. In 79 career games Youth Myles Jack Jersey , Vereen has nearly 1,500 rushing yards. He has never surpassed 400 yards in a season, but he has scored eight career touchdowns on the ground and averages 4.2 yards per attempt. He does damage in the passing game, however, nabbing 221 career catches for 1,865 yards and 11 touchdowns. Vereen has four different seasons where he has at least 44 receptions, including a career high 59 catches in 2015. Jamaal Charles The Chiefs’ all-time leading rusher is easily the most productive free agent available. Charles has totaled 7,556 rushing yards (5.3 YPC) and 44 touchdowns, while also catching more than 300 passes for 2586 and 20 more scores. But he turns 32-years-old in December and isn’t the player he once was. Charles played for the Denver Broncos in 2017, amassing 419 total yards and one score in 14 games. Charles thinks he can still play, and was frustrated with his usage in Denver. In reality, he is likely a washed-up running back who wouldn’t offer the Jaguars a whole lot (but the Jaguars are going to give him a chance)Terrance West At 27-yards-old, West may still have some good football left. West averages just 3.9 yards per carry in his career, though, and isn’t a huge threat in the passing game. He did have 34 receptions in 2016, but hasn’t caught more than 11 balls in any other season. Running the ball, West had a career high 774 yards in 2015 with the Baltimore Ravens and has totaled 1,816 career yards and found the end zone 11 times. He isn’t going to be a bell cow back by any means, but may be worth a look for depth purposes. Eddie Lacy Lacy is a free agent for a reason. Lacy has garnered3,614 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground. He also has 107 career catches for 947 yards and six additional scores. But his numbers are top heavy. After starting his career with back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons Youth Dede Westbrook Jersey , he hasn’t rushed for more than 758 yards since then, and has not eclipsed more than 360 yards in a season since 2015. Now at 28-years-old, and as a guy who’s physical shape has been in question at times, I doubt he’s the answer for Jacksonville’s backfield. Other options include Danny Woodhead, Lance Dunbar, Andre Ellington, Branden Oliver, and C.J. Spiller, amongst others.It’s not a very inspiring group, and the Jaguars need to figure out which players fit best into the offensive scheme, but the Jaguars need help in the backfield. Jacksonville can also look to practice squad players on other teams. A trade is another possibility, but doesn’t seem likely. We’ll keep our eyes peeled to see how this situation shakes out. Follow along for updates. Would you like to see any of these players in a Jaguars uniform, or is there a player I missed? Discuss in the comments section. Updates, 10/9: The Jaguars have reportedly signed rookie running back David Williams off of the Denver Broncos’ practice squad. It would be surprising if this the only move Jacksonville makes, but we’ll see what happens. Jacksonville is expected to work out the aforementioned veteran running back Jamaal Charles on Tuesday.Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West is also reportedly working out for the Jaguars. The Jaguars will indeed sign Charles to a one-year deal, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Updates, 10/11:The Jaguars made another move at the running back position on Thursday, signing Bo Scarbrough to the practice squad. Scarbrough was waived from the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad on Tuesday.

 Broncos Good morning http://www.broncoscheapauthenticstore.com/domata-peko-jersey-cheap , Broncos Country!Is it crazy to keep talking about Phillip Lindsay?No.Not when the former-UDFA-turned-Pro-Bowl-cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is talking about him.“30 reminds me of myself when I was a rookie,” Harris Jr. said of the undrafted running back out of the University of Colorado. “I love watching him for sure.”The way Harris Jr. sees himself most in Lindsay is how much No. 30 is contributing - even as a rookie - on both special teams and in the offense.“Him doing that right there is something that we’ve needed. We needed a spark, and he’s bringing that to us,” Harris Jr. said. Lindsay sees that as his role too - something he mentioned in his post-game interview on Sunday.“I am here to be our spark player. I am here to make sure that I get my teammates going, whether it is on a punt, if it is on a kickoff or kickoff return, anything,” he said. “I am going to do what I have to to get our team moving.”Harris Jr. sees that happening and believes bigger things are in store for Lindsay too.“A lot of Offensive Players of the Year are top running backs, and he already has more yards,” Harris Jr. noted. “If he keeps that up, he’s going to be on his way.”Lindsay already appears to be on his way, having tallied 178 rushing yards, 35 receiving yards and averaging 8.9 yards per touch through just two weeksOh, and he is the leading rookie running back right now for rushing yards - 44 yards ahead of first-round sensation Saquon Barkley and 77 yards over fellow teammate and third-round pick Royce Freeman. He also owns the third-best rushing tally so far among all NFL running backs.Thanks to Lindsay’s 107 yards rushing against the Raiders in Week 2, the Boulder grad is up for two fan-vote superlatives this week - NFL Rookie of the Week and the FedEX Air and Ground Award (pssst...if you haven’t voted yet, I don’t even know who you are anymore).Oh yeah, and there’s another pretty good running back talking about Lindsay too.“I already envision in my mind there will be a day where it’s probably six, seven eight years from now and I’m meeting him on the field because the torch is being passed and he’s breaking my rushing yards record,” Hall-of-Famer Terrell Davis told Nicki Jhabvala this week.Lindsay insists he is “just playing football” despite being the first NFL undrafted rookie to have consecutive games running more than 100 yards.“I am just playing football. That’s it,” he said after the win over the Raiders. “I am just playing football for our team. I don’t think of things like that. For me, it’s just a great opportunity to go out there. I am just happy that we got the ‘W.’ It’s on to the next.”Speaking of that, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh - who said the team had considered Lindsay as a free agent right after the draft - certainly isn’t looking past the 5-foot-8 running back now.“He’s quick Youth Royce Freeman Jersey , he’s kind of fearless. They put him in good situations. ...They get the ball outside quick on the edge a couple different ways. ...The offensive line has done a good job, but this kid is running, and he’s making plays with his speed and his fearlessness. He’s doing it as a kick returner, [too]. He’s back there as a kick returner as well – pretty impressive.”Horse Tracks - docllv’s pick of the weekHow Phillip Lindsay's roots guide his devotion to the Denver community“I’m never going to be too big for this,” Lindsay said before speaking to West High School's football team for the weekly Broncos High School Game of the Week.Horse TracksWay Back When: Manning's magical seven-touchdown night against the RavensJim Saccomano recalls the time Peyton Manning tied an NFL record against the Baltimore Ravens.Phillip Lindsay leads a youth movement key to Broncos’ 2-0 start - Denver Broncos- ESPNPhillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman, Courtland Sutton among the Broncos rookies whose impact already has teammates talking.Bettors claim to be cheated out of big payouts from Broncos winFanDuel claims its rules that if a “palpable error” is made then it is only obliged to pay “the correct price at the time at which the bet was placed.”Denver Broncos: A look at series history with Baltimore RavensThe Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens square off in Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season.

The second-year player had a solid camp and preseason but could not crack an already deep Broncos defensive line.Williams is a second year player so he does have Practice Squad eligibility I believe so he is another name to watch in that regard.He has earned praise from coaches and onlookers all summer but the Broncos just didn’t have a spot on the roster for him. You have the likes of Derek Wolfe, Adam Gotsis, Shelby Harris, DeMarcus Walker, and Clinton McDonald ahead of him. He needed an injury to ever have a solid chance and that never happened. Williams was down right dominant at times last night in the preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals. He was credited with a sack but with clearly a man amongst men out there. Williams like most will have to clear waivers before being able to join the Broncos practice squad. It is possible he is claimed by a team desperate for D-Line depth, but if that does not happen, expect him back with the Broncos in a few days.

K.J. Wright Jersey Denver Broncos 27, Seattle Seahawks 24 This was a game of massive plays and momentum swings. The game kept churning and turning, populated by momentous plays in each quarter. Of course, for Week 1 of 2018, the biggest moments we’re talking about are the non-fumble, the Emmanuel Sanders touchdown rumble, the missed field goals (come on, you had two tries!) and of course the extremely debatable Demaryius Thomas touchdown.There’s little need to break down the biggest plays, a couple days after they’ve turned to lines in a box score and bad or good memories. They can’t be changed, we know they mattered, and we largely know what went wrong. On the negative side: Bad tackling, bad angles, bad calls, bad execution, bad luck. Sometimes all five at once. On the positive: brilliance by a Seahawk, or two, or three at a time. What we’re used to.Meanwhile, just below the radar, some of the game’s most important decisions or moments came and went with comparatively little fanfare. Those plays, maybe not the tuning points, but at least the swerving points, if you will, are what this weekly series is about.Earl’s playing timeWhen Kam Chancellor held out in 2015, the Seahawks defense suffered. They gave up 61 points in Weeks 1 and 2 combined while Chancellor fruitlessly “negotiated” with the front office; in the five games following his return, they gave up a total of 67 points. His presence mattered, as illustrated most vividly by The Punch, his answer to Earl Thomas’ karate chop exploits.In a similar, yet far less obvious way, Earl’s delay in reporting to camp cost Seattle. But wait — hold on. How can I bag on Earl’s importance when he yet again made a difference? How can I complain about the guy who teleported for an interception that led to points? Only because the holdout he (again fruitlessly) insisted on led to partial playing time in Week 1.Thomas sat out on 10 plays out of 74 logged by the defense. In years past he’s been on the field 99 percent of time when healthy. As Ben Baldwin of The Athletic points out, those 10 Earl-less plays cost the Seahawks dearly.ET’s presence kept the Broncos in negative points expected; his absence kept them in the positive. The more he plays, the less the bad guys score. Play more, Earl. For all our sakes.Situational rushingAt first glance, the Seahawks rushing game looks unbalanced, promising, underused, potent or mysterious. It’s all of those, of course, but the thing I want to focus on is exactly when Seattle elected to keep the ball on the ground, and how that impacted success.The Seahawks’ 15 rushes came on:1st and 10 nine times: one success2nd and 10 three times: one success, by Russell Wilson3rd and 16 once: no successes, for obvious reasons2nd and less than 10 twice: two successes, one by Chris Carson, one by Rashaad Penny13 times out of 15, Seattle ran with 10 or more yards to go, in a situation that puts the RB at a disadvantage. It’s hard to make the running game work when all it does is set up second and long Cheap Doug Baldwin Jersey , or third and long. Both times they ran in favorable downs and distances, though, they got the first, or half the yardage necessary. There’s a lesson to be learned there. It’s not quite “never run,” sorry to that crowd, but it’s definitely not “establish the run” either.Since we’re on Carson, his biggest gain from scrimmage was wiped out on a J.R. Sweezy holding penalty. On the plus side, he qualified for the next Olympics 110 hurdles team.It’s no surprise that on their 14 rushes, Rashaad Penny and Carson were successful only thrice. Yet, somehow, it gets worse. On Carson’s final “successful” run, midway through the third quarter, cheat code linebacker Von Miller helped himself to the football. In other words, almost every running back carry (12 out of 14!) on Sunday was a waste of a down or resulted in a turnover. No wonder Seattle went heavy on the pass, with only 15 rushes to 39 dropbacks.Seeing if Seattle elects to run on more manageable downs in Week 2, making those runs more valuable and less a waste of a snap, is something to watch for.Tyler Lockett’s punt return decisionsIt isn’t Pick-on-Tyler-Lockett week. He got the Seahawks fully back into the game on the second play of the fourth quarter with a 51-yard touchdown catch that might set the tone for a big year. If you want a further breakdown and don’t mind giving the Seattle Times a click, have at it:It was a typical creative moment from two men who’ve not always been on the same page, or healthy at the same time, since Lockett entered the league three seasons ago.We’re not here to talk about Lockett’s big play, though. More salient to the final result is how the Seahawks needed Lockett to be a little bit better last Sunday on special teams.Lockett got six chances to make a difference on kick returns, fielding two kickoffs and four punts. One kickoff return was a disaster, all of nine yards, forcing the Seahawks to start on their own 16, the victim of hidden yards. The other was fine, good even, a 30-yard scamper.But on punt returns, Lockett’s decisions were costly. He let the first punt, a returnable one, bounce for another 10 yards in Denver’s favor. On the second he netted nine yards, but on the the third he lost a couple. Finally, a four-yard return on which he did nothing special rounded out his day. Out of six chances, four results were subpar. The Seahawks don’t need Lockett to be an All-Pro return man, though it’s clear he’s cabaple of performing at that level. They just needed him to be a little bit better Sunday, especially in a game decided by three points. As many games might turn out to be this season.The decision to kick that ill-fated FGThere’s really not much of a rationale for taking Sebastian Janikowski off the field on 4th and 6, when his field goal try had just been moved up five yards after a practice kick. The odds say he’s going to make a 46-yarder; statistically, it’s not prime go-for-it real estate. The Fourth Down Bot from the New York Times would agree, and even it recommends going for it more often than any coach, besides maybe Philadelphia’s Doug Pederson. The bot says:With the ball on the 28, a close game almost halfway through, and six yards to go, the field goal looks sensible on a neutral statistical level. However. However, however, however. Given the time left on the clock, the ability of Denver’s offense on Sunday to move the ball Justin Britt Jersey , Case Keenum’s carelessness, and Janikowski’s history, the field goal choice presents some problems.1:56 left means that a succesful field goal gives Denver time to execute a two-minute drill. Going for it and making it ensures the Broncos won’t get a good scoring chance. Of course, going for it and failing gives them pretty decent field position around the 25, but they were going to get that on the kickoff anyway, with virtually the same amount of time.17 points already put up by the Broncos means a field goal, even if successful, is not the kind of score that will help you keep pace. You don’t know the final margin of victory will be just three points, and you can’t necessarily count on your green defense to be any stouter in the second half.Keenum had already thrown one interception and just missed gifting another to Seattle. The chances were decent that he’d commit another error, eventually. You can’t assume the Broncos would take advantage of a missed conversion. (As it is, Keenum sure did serve another up, lobbing the ball to Bradley McDougald a minute later.)Finally, it’s very much worth pointing out that Denver is not Janikowski’s second home — it’s one of his least favorite places to kick. His FG percentage is 72.5 at Mile High, compared with 80.3 for his career. Denver is the away city where he’s missed the most field goals (14), compared to 11 in Kansas City and 11 in San Diego/LA, despite fewer attempts in Denver even.Denver turns Janikowski into 2017 Blair Walsh. You’d like to think Carroll would know that going in.(Interjection Because I Can: McDougald is going to make a ton of plays, if he stays healthy. Teams will continue to avoid Thomas because that’s what they do, but that just means more balls in the other safety’s direction. With a few young and turnover-prone quarterbacks on the schedule this year — Mitch Trubisky, Josh Rosen, Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Stafford, among others — I wouldnt be surprised to see McDougald lead the team in picks, or even the league. Yes I’m serious.)To summarize: the decision to kick is supported by success rates on fourth down and six. But since you’re in that area of the field, in that period of the half, where taking a chance doesn’t cost you a ton of field position and allows you maybe to keep the ball until halftime, and doesn’t require you to put trust in an iffy kicker, the decision is a lot more murky. Who knows how the game plays out if Carroll takes a chance similar to Fourth And Seven in the 2013 NFCCG.Looking ahead to Week 2Some interesting subplots are developing already.How will the new guys look after a week of trial (Tre-al) by fire?Is Will Dissly for real?Run-pass ratio was not what we were promised in the preseason; what’s up with that?Does Michael Dickson follow up his very nice day with an acceptable, or even excellent, encore?Third downs. Seahawks were 2-12. Will Week 2 prolong or reverse their fortunes?And hopefully, next week we’re talking about the under-the-radar plays that helped Seattle even its record at 1-1.2018 NFL preseason: Seahawks vs. Colts 1st half video highlights The 1st half is in the books for the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts in their respective 2018 NFL preseason openers. Indianapolis is nursing a 9-7 lead at halftime, and the first-team players on offense and defense are pretty much done for the night.Russell Wilson only had one series, and it was a good one, as he went 12 plays, 75 yards, and capped it off with a scramble drill touchdown to TE Nick Vannett. Rookie running back Rashaad Penny contributed on that scoring play by blocking the oncoming pass rusher. Chris Carson has also looked great in his return from injury, with 26 yards on 4 carries.On defense, it’s been a little bit up-and-down. They’ve prevented big plays but have had some issues in run support and covering running backs in the passing game, but there have been bright spots. Shaquem Griffin made four tackles in his first NFL defensive series, Shaquill recorded a pass defensed on Andrew Luck on the game’s opening drive, Justin Coleman nearly had an interception, and Barkevious Mingo and Rasheem Green each recorded sacks.Courtesy of Samuel Gold, check out the 1st half highlights of the Seahawks’ first exhibition game of the new season.

 It’s week 6 and there are a number of great matchups today. Florida makes its 1st appearance on this list Womens Trumaine Johnson Jersey , but I am sure it won’t be their last. They are loaded with talent, especially at edge. I will be prioritizing games with prospects that fit our primary needs. Those are as follows: Edge, T, WR, RB, G, ILB, TE and CB. I added WR, and ILB to the needs list. Here are just a few games to check out, and who you should keep a keen scouting eye on throughout.Texas Vs. Oklahoma (Sat 10/6, 12:00 PM EST, FOX)Edge, Breckyn Hager, Texas (#44) *#60 todayHager has a great 1st step that lets him explode into the backfield. He needs to improve against the run.T, Bobby Evans, Oklahoma (#71)Evans has a ton of power and has the meanness that you like in a lineman. Looks to finish and dominate blocks downfield.WR, Collin Johnson, Texas (#9)Collin is a very tall receiver that does a great job at the LOS to get a quick release from the defender. He shows a lot of athletic ability with the ball in the air.WR, Marquise Brown, Oklahoma (#5)They don’t call him “Hollywood” Brown for nothing. This kid is a star and a playmaker. He can blow the top off of any defense.OG, Patrick Vahe, Texas (#77)Patrick is very good at getting to next level, and has above average mobility and uses frame to eat linebackers. OG, Ben Powers, Oklahoma (#72)Powers lives up to his name with a nose for power run blocking. Good build with little bad weight, durable player. Ben is a good puller and has very good reaction speed.OG, Dru Samia, Oklahoma (#75)Despite not having great lateral movement, Dru does move pretty smoothly to the second level. He blocks with a lot of powerCB, Kris Boyd, Texas (#2)Kris is a very physical corner who is smooth and athletic. He can be very sticky in man coverage. Boyd needs to add some strength at the next level.Other Notable prospects: DT, Charles Omenihu, Texas #90 - S, Brandon Jones, Texas #19Florida State Vs. Miami (Sat 10/6, 7:30 PM EST, ABC)Edge Youth Lac Edwards Jersey , Joe Jackson, Miami (#99)At the college level, the combo of Joe’s effort and athletic ability have made him a terror for the Hurricanes. He will need to develop more pass rushing techniques. He has 3 down prospects.Edge, Brian Burns, Florida State (#99)Burns has a variety of pass rush moves, footwork, burst and length. Brian’s ceiling as an NFL edge rusher is through the roof.WR, Ahmmon Richards, Miami (#82)Richards has a great release. Richards’ foot and handwork work together to beat press coverage and quickly accelerates.RB, Travis Homer, Miami (#24)I love watching RBs, and one thing I look at most is elusiveness. Making people miss is so important. Homes has this ability in spades.RB, Jacques Patrick, Florida State (#9)Patrick is a one cut, physical downhill runner. Patrick sees the field cleanly and knows how to work off his blocks.Off-Ball LBer, Shaq Quarterman, Miami (#55)Shaq has some great production, but there are times he looks like a chicken without a head. He is also technically unsound when taking on blocksCB, Michael Jackson, Miami (#28)Jackson moonwalked on the scene in a big way last year in an extended roll. Michael is more than just a great name. He is a very physical DB, who has that long bulky frame that teams love these days.CB, Levonta Taylor, Florida State (#28)Levonta is a little undersized, but his movement skills are something special. Taylor has lightning quick footwork, fluid hips and the speed to remain in phase with opponents to any part of the field.Other Notable prospects: QB, Deondre Francois, Florida State #12 - WR, Ahmmon Richards, Miami #82 - DT, Demarcus Christmas, Florida State #90 - S, Jaquan Johnson, Miami #4 - S, Sheldrick Redwine, Miami #22 LSU Vs. Florida (Sat 10/6, 3:30 PM EST, CBS)Edge http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/nathan-shepherd-jersey-authentic , Jachai Polite, Florida (#99)Jachai Polite has been the edge rusher on everyone’s mind early in this 2018-19 season. He shows tremendous athleticism around the edge. Pair that with his never ending motor and you have a potential monster.Edge, Jabari Zuniga, FLorida (#92)Zuniga has a way of showing up against inferior opponents. He will have the chance today to do it against a quality team.T, Jawaan Taylor, Florida (#65)Taylor has some great size that goes well with his frame. Jawaan’s hands are heavy in pass protection. He places his punches well, and can sit down against power. Taylor moves well, but isn’t overly explosive.T, Martez Ivey, Florida (#73)Ivey has all the physical tools you could want in a tackle, but there are too many times he looks like a chew toy for defenders.WR, Van Jefferson, Florida (#87)Like many sons of coaches, Jefferson is a very smart and technically sound receiver. His route running is superb.G, Garrett Brumfield, LSU (#78)Brumfield isn’t the biggest guy, but he plays with an anger and an edge. He is a smooth mover, and quick. He would look very good in a zone blocking scheme like ours.CB, Greedy Williams, LSU (#29)Greedy is one of if not the best defensive backs in this class. He has a near flawless resume, but does tend to be in chase mode a lot.Other Notable prospects: DT, Rashard Lawrence, LSU #90 - DT, Breiden Fehoko, LSU (#91)Jets Claim K Jason Myers Off Waivers, Waive WR Jonah Trinnaman The New York Jets have claimed kicker Jason Myers, recently waived by the Seattle Seahawks, and waived wide receiver Jonah Trinnaman in a corresponding roster move to make room for Myers.Jason Myers is a 27 year old, 5’ 10”, 190 pound kicker out of Marist College. Myers spent three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2015 through 2017. During that time he connected on a decent 81% of his field attempts, including 10 of 19 from 50+ yards out, but was a miserable 86% on extra point attempts.The Myers signing suggests two things. First, Cairo Santos, who has been injured through most of training camp, appears to not be all that close to returning to full health. Second, the Jets do not appear to trust Taylor Bertolet with the kicking duties going forward. Signing a below average kicker who is terrible at extra points at this stage of the preseason does not inspire confidence in the Jets kicking game. One can only hope Santos will return soon and put any lingering doubts to rest.

 Let’s answer some questions ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ matchup against the Tennessee Titans!John from Jacksonville Josh Lambo Jersey , FLQ: What type of game plan should the Jaguars use against the Titans?A: On offense, air it out with the passing game. Deshaun Watson was able to throw for nearly 10 yards per pass attempt and that helped open up their run game. The Titans are vulnerable to giving up big chunks of yards on single plays through the air, but it’s important that once you get near the red zone you get points out of it. The Houston Texans got within the 40-yard line on two of their first three possessions and missed a field goal or saw an interception. Get up on the Titans early and then the defense can pounce. Shut down Corey Davis. Right now he’s seen a full 33 percent of all targets in the passing game through the first two weeks. Erasing him should be a priority for this defense.Jeremy from Boca Raton, FLQ: Other than the Kansas City Chiefs, I feel like we win every game on the schedule. Maybe with Carson Wentz back we add the Philadelphia Eagles to the list. Can this team pull off 16-0?A: The biggest hurdle standing in the way of the Jaguars isn’t Pat Mahomes or Carson Wentz — it’s Blake Bortles. If he can consistently play the way he did last week, there’s not a team we lose to on the schedule, with or without Leonard Fournette.David from Aguadila, Puerto RicoQ: Who gets paid first — Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack, or Yannick Ngakoue?A: They’ll all get paid about the same time, but in order of priority, I think Jalen is the most important.James from West Liberty, NYQ: If you’re Tom Coughlin or Dave Caldwell, are you reaching out to Joe Thomas and seeing if he’s interested in coming out of retirement?A: Joe Thomas has lost over 50 pounds since retiring.Fred from Birmingham, ALQ: Jameis or Bortles? A: Bortles, easily.Colt from Pittsburgh Womens Calais Campbell Jersey , PAQ: What scares you the most (if anything) about this Week 3 matchup against the Titans? I hate the term “trap game” in the NFL but... this seems like a trap game.A: It doesn’t feel like a trap game to me, but the Titans had our number last year and really frustrated Bortles in two awful games last year. I can’t shake this nagging feeling in the back of my head that gives them a chance despite the Jaguars being the better team. All in all, I think we win by two scores on Sunday.Gabe from Chapel Hill, NCQ: Give it to me straight... how much is the loss of Cam Robinson going to hurt?A: Josh Wells had a decent game in relief of Cam last week. He’s not as good as Robinson at the point of attack, but he recovers well. Get back to me after the next two weeks and we’ll see how Wells is when he has time to prepare like a starting left tackle and when opponents game plan for him specifically.Mike from Eagan, MNQ: When are you going to stop typing “y’all” in social media posts and articles?A: Never, y’all.Jacksonville Jaguars promote CB Quenton Meeks from practice squad, release WR Rashad Greene, Sr. The Jacksonville Jaguars have promoted undrafted rookie cornerback Quenton Meeks from the practice squad to the team’s 53-man active roster.To make room on the roster, the club released fourth-year wide receiver Rashad Greene Sr.With injuries to two of the team’s five cornerbacks on the injury report, activating Meeks from the practice squad makes a lot of sense.Meeks was originally signed by Jacksonville as an undrafted rookie this spring following a 39-game collegiate career at Stanford, where he totaled 121 tackles, 25 passes defensed and seven interceptions. Despite a team-high 11 tackles for the Jaguars during the preseason, Meeks was waived during final roster reductions on September 1 but has spent the first four weeks of the season on the Jaguars’ practice squad. He will wear No. 43 for the Jaguars.

Even though defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said the Eagles will take their time in sorting out their linebackers http://www.officialblackhawksproshop.com/authentic-adidas-artem-anisimov-jersey , it’s a safe assumption, looking at their roster, that Corey Nelson is the frontrunner for the weakside job.

The Eagles released Mychal Kendricks last week, leaving an opening that Nelson hopes to fill.

“I don鈥檛 know what [Kendricks’ release] does,” Nelson said, via Les Bowen of phillynews.com. “I鈥檓 just here to give it my all, to compete to the best of my abilities, and to make this team better. . . . I don鈥檛 know where that puts me at.

鈥淚t kinda surprised me. I talked with [Kendricks], had a good relationship with him. Treated him as he was still gonna be here. It鈥檚 definitely a surprise.鈥?/p>

The Eagles also have Nate Gerry, a fifth-round pick in 2017 who is converting from safety. Gerry played only one game last season, and that was the meaningless regular-season finale against the Cowboys.

Nelson opted to take Philadelphia’s one-year Youth Keke Coutee Jersey , $2.25 million deal, even though the Broncos offered to match. Nelson played in 53 games with six starts in his four seasons in Denver.

The Eagles are training Nelson at all three spots, though he appears best suited for the WILL.

The Dallas Cowboys are best known as "America's team" because they appear on televisions across the country and their faces are very familiar to the general public, even if the lady or gentleman isn't a diehard NFL fan. However, you might disagree with this all-American belief, as there are other teams, like, say, the Green Bay Packers that better fit into the stereotypical ideal due to their plethora of fans who travel well and not just attend home games. But, anyways, the Cowboys continue to be one of the most historic franchises in all of professional sports Authentic Baker Mayfield Jersey , so let me dive into a Cowboys-related topic right now.

Like many other pro teams, the Cowboys have a rich history, but not all the previous players and coaches will be remembered by the average NFL fan on the street. There have been plenty of folks who went AWOL for whatever reason it may be, and no one really heard anything about them ever again. But, that's the sporting life, and not everyone will get the good things that they've ask for.

With all that said, here's my take on the 20 NFL players that everyone forgets played for the Cowboys. As always, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Enjoy my list! Happy reading!

Before the Vikings splurged on quarterback Kirk Cousins Dontae Johnson Color Rush Jersey , coach Mike Zimmer spent time pushing back against the kind of cap-busting move that would make it hard to keep the team’s young core players in place. The Vikings apparently will be trying to do both.

With Cousins signed and linebacker Eric Kendricks extended, the Vikings have three other young stars they hope to keep in the fold: linebacker Anthony Barr, receiver Stefon Diggs, and defensive end Danielle Hunter.

Beyond Kendricks, the Vikings already have extended defensive end Everson Griffen, cornerback Xavier Rhodes, defensive tackle Linval Joseph, and receiver Adam Thielen. Executive V.P. of football operations Rob Brzezinski has been negotiating the deals for more than 20 years Womens Melvin Gordon Jersey , and he’ll be trying to continue to keep the current team together.

鈥淚 would be lying if I said you don鈥檛 feel some pressure, because you want to be able to keep this team together and keep all your best players,” Brzezinski recently told Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

“We鈥檙e still going to try,” Spielman said. “Is it going to be easy? No.”

One thing they won’t have to worry about is ownership; Spielman said that the Wilfs have never refused a request from the front office to sign a given player.

Brezinzki calls the situation a “good problem to have,” but it remains to be seen whether this approach solves the problem that the Vikings have been plagued with for more than 40 years: Getting back to the Super Bowl, and perhaps this time winning it.

The Jaguars removed four tarps from the upper deck for the playoffs last season Shane Doan Jersey , opening up 3,500 additional seats.

The team announced in February it would keep the tarps off for good because of an increased demand for season tickets.

Khan says ”the look it gives us is not a good look for the city; it’s not a good look for the Jags.”

The tarps became part of the stadium after Jacksonville had half of its home games blacked out on local television between 2001 and 2004. Stadium capacity is now 67,932, and Khan says filling those seats creates a home-field advantage that has been missing from Jacksonville for years.

He says ”a key lesson for me is I don’t want to go back to when we don’t have a home-field advantage. That means no tarps. That means fans cheering the Jags on. I think it’s a vital, vital competitive advantage.”

ATLANTA — Backed by four home runs Womens Greg Olsen Jersey , veteran San Diego Padres left-hander Clayton Richard finally got his first career victory over the Atlanta Braves on June 4 in San Diego.

Now comes the hard part, though, as Richard tries to follow up that victory with one in Atlanta, where both he and the Padres have struggled.

Richard is 0-5 on the road against the Braves, going 0-4 with a 7.52 ERA in five games at Turner Field and losing last April during the first series at new SunTrust Park while giving up nine hits, including two homers, and four runs in six innings.

The Braves’ 4-2 victory over the Padres in the series opener Thursday night was their eighth straight at home over San Diego and 13th in the past 15 games against the Padres.

Atlanta, meanwhile, has lost 12 of its past 15 games in San Diego.

Richard (5-6, 4.40 ERA) is pitching well at home or on the road going into Friday night’s start against the National League East-leading Braves (40-28).

The 34-year-old former college quarterback carried a no-hitter through two outs in the seventh inning at Miami on Sunday and has pitched at least seven innings in six of his past seven starts while lowering his ERA by nearly two runs since early May.

It had been tentatively lined up for Richard to face the Braves’ Julio Teheran, who left early in the 11-4 Padres victory at San Diego on June 4 because of a right thumb contusion.

Brandon McCarthy (5-3, 5.03) will start opposite Richard, though, with Teheran now penciled in to come off the 10-day disabled list Sunday and face the Padres (33-38) in the series finale.

“He threw a good bullpen and he was fine Youth Chase Edmonds Jersey ,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Teheran. “The plan will be, unless something comes up from now until then, for him to start of Sunday.”

Teheran gave up three homers and then was pulled after facing one batter in the fifth inning at San Diego before the Padres battered the Braves’ bullpen in a seven-run sixth.

Given the nice cushion, Richard worked seven innings and gave up six hits and three runs in his first career victory over the Braves.

“You go from making sure you are executing pitches to making sure you are throwing strikes,” Richard said afterward. “It’s fun to have those types of games.”

Richard, not the offense, was the story on Sunday in Miami. The Padres are the only major league team to never throw a no-hit game.

Tyson Ross and Jordan Lyles took no-hitters into the eighth inning this season before Richard made it to the seventh, though.

“He’s such a contact-oriented pitcher that those aren’t really the guys that profile to get no-hitters very often,” Padres manager Andy Green said of Richard.

While Richard has turned his season around, veteran left-hander McCarthy has been heading the other way for the Braves.

McCarthy was 4-0 with a 3.09 ERA in April but gave up 14 runs in his first two starts of May and lasted just 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles a week ago.

The 6-foot-8 McCarthy, acquired from Los Angeles in an offseason trade, has enjoyed success in his career against San Diego, though. He is 8-1 with a 3.73 ERA in 11 appearances, including 10 starts.

Speed Authentic Randall Cobb Jersey , power, quickness, smarts, good hands. The Penn State product who the New York Giants grabbed with the second overall pick in the draft has it all.

What he needs is knowledge. He has to learn a new playbook for coach Pat Shurmur and then pick up all the little adjustments that turn a college star into one of the NFL’s elite. And it all has to be done in roughly four months.

”Physically, he looks the part,” two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning said of Barkley. ”I’ll be excited to see him with pads on, in the open field, and see what he can do. He has done a good job.”

Barkley has done everything asked of him so far. He also has drawn some attention. Veteran defensive tackle Damon ”Snacks” Harrison quipped he couldn’t wait until training camp so he could ”hit his ass.”

Barkley laughed about it Wednesday.

”I’m just happy that we’re on the same team, and he only gets to hit me maybe once or twice a year, rather than facing him for a whole game,” Barkley said.

Barkley has spent a lot of time the past few weeks picking the minds of veteran running back Jonathan Stewart, Manning and his coaches. When he is not doing that, he is watching videotapes of Cardinals running back David Johnson and the Steelers’ Le’Veon Bell blocking and running inside and outside the tackles.

”There is always room for improvement on anything,” Barkley said Wednesday after the second day of a mandatory three-day minicamp. ”Playbook is definitely something that I feel like I am getting more comfortable with. I am seeing the field a lot differently. Understanding where I have to be in my pass concepts.”

Offensive coordinator Mike Shula said Barkley needs to learn the little adjustments that need to happen before and after snaps. He also has to learn how to adjust to facing different defenses each week.

So not only does he need to know the plays Rickard Rakell Jersey , he has to understand what happens when Manning changes plays, where the protection slides, and where he needs to be.

Barkley believes good backs run on instinct. He also says they have to help their offensive linemen by setting up their blocks.

”For me, I did it so natural in college that I didn’t even notice I was doing it,” Barkley said. ”Now, understanding and seeing the play before it develops and seeing the linebacker overflowing, that is how you set up cutback lanes.”

Defensive coordinator James Bettcher has enjoyed watching Barkley.

”He’s a special player,” Bettcher said. ”He’s a guy that’s going to create nightmares for any defensive coordinator, and matchup problems on any given down.”

After Thursday’s workout, the Giants will be off until training camp opens in late July.

Barkley intends to go home to Pennsylvania for his sister’s Sweet 16 party and later train in either Florida or California, or a mixture of both.

He is also looking forward to his first season with the Giants and being in the shadow of New York.

”At State College, it is like its own little city. It is a small city,” he said. ”Then, in New York Authentic Keke Coutee Jersey , you walk around and people know you. It is not like, `Wow they know me, I have fame,’ but it is like people notice you and what you are doing. I have not played a down of football yet, so I am just handling myself.”

ERECK FLOWERS: Ereck Flowers says his adjustment to playing right tackle is going well. He admitted it was tough being told he was being moved from left tackle to the right side after the signing of Nate Solder as a free agent.

”They have to do what is best for the organization,” said Flowers, the Giants’ first-round pick in 2015. ”I don’t have any personal feelings about it. For me, I want to prove myself every time I hit the field.”

The Giants did not pick up the fifth-year option on Flowers’ contract in the offseason, so he will be a free agent after the season.

NOTES: NFL Films was at Giants practice on Wednesday and Shurmur was wired for sound. … CB Janoris Jenkins says fellow cornerback Eli Apple has matured after a troubled season in 2017. ”He understands that there are going to be people that love you and people that hate you,” Jenkins said of Apple. ”No matter how good you play, it is still going to be the same.’
