defensive tackle Quinton Dial announced his retirement from the NFL in a post on his instagram account Thursday night.“I want to thank the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers for the opportunity that you gave a country boy from a small town in Alabama when no one else would. To the fans Womens Jermaine Whitehead Jersey , thanks for the countless memories that have made the last five years something special,” Dial wrote.Dial was a fifth-round pick of the 49ers in 2013 and would appear in 46 games with 34 starts during his four years with the team. He spent one year with the Green Bay Packers in 2017 where he appeared in 13 games with two starts. He did not play in the league last season.Dial has totaled 145 tackles with 4.5 sacks and five passes defended during his five years in the NFL.“I’ve faced a lot of injuries throughout my career and I feel it is in my best interest to hang up the cleats and pursue another career,” Dial continued. “I am excited about what the future holds for my family and I. Again, thank you all for the countless support over the years!

The cornerbacks are largely the same. But that combination of new arrivals and development of young players gives the Green Bay Packers’ secondary a chance to be a very good unit in 2019, and some people around the NFL are beginning to take notice as OTAs are set to begin on Monday.This week Womens Brett Favre Jersey , Danny Kelly of The Ringer listed the seven most underrated position groups in the NFL, and the Packers’ secondary was one of the highlights of the list. In a sense, Kelly is looking at the potential ceiling for these units compared to their wider expectations and finds that this gap is massive for the Packers’ defensive backs: “Put together, Green Bay has amassed one of the most talented, versatile, and high-upside secondaries in the NFL.”The projected safety duo of Adrian Amos and first-round pick Darnell Savage Davon House Jersey White , Jr. appears to be a perfect set of complements for each other on the back end. Although the initial analysis suggests that Amos will be more of the in-the-box safety while Savage will play a center field role, that’s not how they must line up. Both players are capable of playing in any safety alignment, while Savage has plenty of slot corner experience as well. Ultimately, though, it is Amos’ ability to always reliably carry out his assignment that should allow Savage to roam more freely and hunt out big plays.That versatility will be critical for the Packers on the back end this season. After all, Mike Pettine loves to disguise pressure on the quarterback as well as hide his coverage schemes Kyler Fackrell Jersey White , something that these players should help him do. As Kelly notes, this year’s group of safeties “should give (Pettine) the ability to deploy his safety group in any number of schemes or coverage looks—and should augment his ability to send blitzes from everywhere on the field.”Then there’s the cornerback group. Admittedly, optimism among Packers fans about the position is centered around the development of young talent. Sure, Tramon Williams is a steadying presence and will likely contribute in the slot a fair amount, but it is the top-end talent and swagger of Jaire Alexander that will lead this group on the field. A full offseason of development on man coverage should help Josh Jackson as well, and for Kevin King http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-vogel-jersey , it’s all about staying healthy rather than worrying about development. Kelly didn’t even get a chance to dig deeper into the depth chart either, where Tony Brown projects as a physical, athletic number five cornerback and Ka’Dar Hollman brings exceptional speed and tenacity to the table.Adding the Packers’ defensive backfield to a list of units that includes the 49ers’ defensive line (with new additions Nick Bosa and Dee Ford), the Colts’ receivers (which added Parris Campbell and Devin Funchess) and the Falcons’ offensive line (first-round picks in Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary) shows that big additions are a theme here. These groups all have received significant investments from their GMs this offseason, and are looking for big steps forward in 2019. Here’s hoping that the Packers’ secondary stays healthy, because if they do — and if the revamped pass rush in front of them does as well — this defense could get very good very quickly.

FLORHAM PARK Trevor Siemian Jerseys 2019 , N.J. (AP) — Spencer Long was frustrated, angry and thoroughly embarrassed.He had gone from being the leader of the New York Jets‘ offensive line to an unexpected punchline.Long was all over the blooper reels and social media — the center who simply couldn’t snap the football.“It was a tough, challenging time that I don’t think a lot of people knew exactly what was going on,” Long told The Associated Press on Friday. “My reputation was on the line.”Long was already dealing with a lingering injury to his right hand — his snapping hand — early in the season when he hurt a tendon in his middle finger against Jacksonville in Week 4. It made for a painful combination — “kind of just a chain reaction,” he said — that produced sometimes unpredictably ugly results.There were a few wayward shotgun snaps, and Long tried to push through his misfires before sitting out one week.Then came a disastrous game at Miami in Week 9.“Any time you put your hand on the ball and it doesn’t feel right, it creates an issue, especially for a guy that’s only been playing for so long at that position,” said the 28-year-old Long, who was a guard in his first 2½ NFL seasons in Washington. “I gave the impression that I was ready to go that week and throughout practice I was fine, all my snaps were fine. And then we go into the game and re-injury happens and then you’re in panic mode, you know? And, it was tough.“It was a pretty (awful) time.”The Jets ran an inside zone play against the Dolphins when Long was hit in the back and his right hand was engaged with another player. That’s when he felt a familiar searing pain in his finger.“There it goes again,” Long recalled, “And this is in the middle of a drive. I’m not going to pull myself out during the drive and create dysfunction in the flow.“But obviously Color Rush Trevon Wesco Jersey , it was a risky decision that didn’t pay off.”Long had at least six errant shotgun snaps to rookie Sam Darnold, including one that soared over the quarterback’s head. He was replaced by Jonotthan Harrison on the next series — and hasn’t snapped in a game since.Long, who signed a four-year, $27.4 million contract last offseason, became a popular target of frustrated fans, with the snaps mockingly turned into gifs and memes on social media.“I felt bad for my teammates and coaches for putting that out there,” he said of his performance. “For the fan base, too, because they deserved more than that from me. I’m a guy that’s supposed to be an addition and not a subtraction to this line.”Some blamed coach Todd Bowles for not pulling Long sooner. Others thought offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates should have called for fewer shotgun plays.“It was on me,” Long said. “It was completely on me. I made a decision that maybe wasn’t smart at the time. But I thought until it happened, I was getting through it. It was a (lousy) situation. It was really hard for a while there. I mean, I get it. I understand. I’m a pro center. I’m not supposed to have issues like that. I understand why people would be frustrated. Nobody was more frustrated than me, I can promise you that.“It was tough for me, but, you’ve just got to stick it out.”That Youth Trevon Wesco Jersey , however, was far from easy.His hand was betraying him. And that put him in a dark spot mentally.“It was probably the most stress I’ve ever had playing football,” Long said. “It just kept getting worse because I was using it. I couldn’t protect it. It was a tough month there. It was probably four to six weeks until I was able to move on and be the person that I know I can be, and come back and contribute to this team without that worry.”Starting left guard James Carpenter went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 10 against Buffalo, creating a void on the offensive line. The Jets shifted Long to guard — where he has started three of the last four games.“It’s crazy how things rearranged themselves via an unfortunate circumstance, but I’m just glad to be playing ball again,” Long said. “I know that I could play both positions at a high level, so whatever the team needs me for.”Bowles has seen Long grow more comfortable at left guard during the last month, and his teammates praise him for bouncing back from a situation in which some players might have withered.“He’s a fighter,” Harrison said. “The fact he was able to push through all he had going on, come back out there and keep on fighting, we’ve got all the respect for him.”Long’s future with the Jets is uncertain. He’s due to make $3 million next season with a $3.5 million roster bonus due in February. It’s unclear if he’d be move back to center after an offseason of healing and rehab or stick to left guard. There’s also the likely possibility that there will be a new coaching staff in place.He insists he isn’t thinking about any of that right now. Long is focused on ending what had been a brutal season for him on a positive note.“This was a tough time and it all really tested me,” Long said. “I feel like I’ve come out on the other side with a lot more knowledge about the game and what it takes to get through stuff because of it. It makes the game uncomfortable when you’re not playing with the swagger that you need to have.“But you know, I’m not a quitter, so I just keep going.” A familiar name to New York Giants fans will be returning to coach New York football.Jay Glazer of FOX is “hearing” that former Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride will coach the XFL’s New York team. Like the Giants (and the Jets) the New York XFL franchise will play at MetLife Stadium. This report meshes with the fact that (as PFT has been told) Gilbride attended the first wave of Spring League games in Texas Womens Trevon Wesco Jersey , with other XFL coaches.The 67-year-old Gilbride served as head coach of the Chargers from 1997-98. He has worked as offensive coordinator for the Oilers, Steelers, Jaguars, and Bills. For both of the Giants’ Super Bowl wins with Eli Manning as the quarterback and Tom Coughlin as the coach, Gilbride ran the offense.Working as an analyst, Gilbride also provided one of the most memorable moments from the afternoon show that aired on NBCSN.The XFL had planned to name all eight head coaches by the end of March. Officially, four have been named: Bob Stoops in Dallas, Pep Hamilton in D.C., Jim Zorn in Seattle, and Marc Trestman in Tampa. Gilbride has not yet officially been named; no coaches have been named or reported for teams to be located in Houston, St. Louis, or L.A.

Deone Bucannon and waived linebacker Tuzar Skipper.The Giants (2-5) also signed linebacker Devante Downs from the practice squad and waived tight end Garrett Dickerson.Bucannon has played in 75 regular-season games Daniel Jones New York Giants Jersey , including five this season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who released him on Oct. 8. The 27th pick overall in the 2014 draft by Arizona, he has started 56 games and had 395 tackles, seven sacks; and two interceptions, including one he returned 29 yards for a touchdown.He should know the defense having played for defensive coordinator James Bettcher with the Cardinals.Skipper played six games after being claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on Sept. 9. He assisted on two tackles, including a half-sack, and one special teams tackle.Downs has been on the practice squad since Oct. 1. He played in two games with Minnesota earlier this season before being waived.Dickerson joined the Giants as a rookie free agent in 2018 and played in four games. He played in three games this season without having a reception. Daryl Williams, Adrian Amos figure to be among first players Giants call"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 17NFL Free AgencyNew York Giants NewsGiants Free Agency 2019Giants top free agent targets as legal tampering window beginsNew,266commentsDaryl Williams, Adrian Amos figure to be among first players Giants callEDTShareTweetShareShareGiants top free agent targets as legal tampering window beginsDaryl WilliamsJeremy Brevard-USA TODAY SportsNFL free agency fun is about to begin. The “legal tampering” window begins at noon Monday, which means that by the time the signing period begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET we will probably already know where most of the big name players are heading. What will the New York Giants do in free agency? Let’s look at the Giants primary needs and, through a mix of information and intuition, the players who seem like the most likely targets for GM Dave Gettleman.Right tacklePrimary target — Daryl Williams, Carolina PanthersAfter Friday’s trade for guard Kevin Zeitler and the re-signing of center Jon Halapio, the Giants likely have four-fifths of the 2019 starting offensive line in place. Chad Wheeler ranked 58th of 61 tackles who played 50 percent of their team’s snaps in 2018 Youth Phil McConkey Jerseys , per Pro Football Focus. The Giants can be expected to be aggressive in trying to find a veteran right tackle to replace Wheeler and complete that line.That isn’t exactly breaking news. It shouldn’t, in fact, surprise anyone. Williams being the primary target shouldn’t be a surprise, either. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound Williams was a 2015 fourth-round pick by Gettleman in Carolina. In 2017, he ranked 13th out of 56 tackles graded by Pro Football Focus.Williams’ BioAge:聽26 |聽Experience:聽42018 team:聽Carolina Panthers2018 cap number:聽$2.046 million2017 PFF grades聽(played only one game in 2018): Overall (78.0) | Pass (78.0) | Run (69.3)Williams missed all but one game in 2018 due to a knee injury, but could still be headed for a nice pay day in free agency. The Giants went to the wall for left tackle Nate Solder a year ago. I’m told they will go hard after Williams and are “planning to win” if it comes down to a bidding war.Spotrac estimates Williams’ market value to be four years, $31.3 million, which works out to $7.8 million annually. That would put Williams 10th among right tackle salaries. The guess here is that in the end it takes more than that to get Williams’ name on the dotted line.Another top right tackle expected to hit the market is Ju’Wuan James of the Miami Dolphins.Should the Giants not be able to reel in Williams, though, the player they might pivot to is Jermey Parnell, released a few days ago by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The eight-year veteran started for the Jaguars the past for seasons, but at 32 was let go in a salary cap move. Parnell was ranked 49th of 61 qualifying tackles by PFF. He allowed career highs in sacks (5) and pressures (39) in 2018. Parnell would likely be more of a short-term solution for the Giants.EDGEPrimary target — Markus Golden, Arizona CardinalsA couple of weeks ago I wrote that “the Giants would seem to make sense as a suitor” for Golden if he reached free agency. That was before the Giants traded Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns, which means Golden to the Giants makes even more sense now.Golden Bio Age:聽28Height:聽6-foot-3 |聽Weight:聽260Experience:聽4Position:聽EDGE2018 stats:聽11 games | 2.5 sacks | 30 tackles (5 for loss) | 6 quarterback hits | 2 passes defensedPro Football Focus:聽Overall grade (52.3) | Run defense (50.8) | Tackling (83.0 — 0 missed tackles) | Pass rush (68.2) | Pass-rush productivity (10.0 — 11th among edge rushers)Here is an oddity. The Giants acquired Zeitler from Cleveland last Friday on his 29th birthday. Wednesday, the day the free agent signing period begins Phil McConkey Jerseys Stitched , is Golden’s 28th birthday. What is really important, though, is that Golden appeared to be on the verge of stardom with the Cardinals in 2016. In a defense coordinated by current Giants defensive coordinator James Bettcher, Golden had career bests in sacks (12.5), tackles (51) and quarterback hits (22). Golden tore his ACL four games into the 2017 season, didn’t return until midway through 2018 and had just 2.5 sacks in 11 games as he played his way back. He said recently on Sirius XM NFL Radio that he expected to be completely healthy to begin 2019.Another outside linebacker who could appeal to the Giants is Preston Smith of the Washington Redskins. The 26-year-old was a second-round pick by Washington in 2015. He had 24.5 sacks in his four seasons in Washington and could help the Giants on the edge. Smith was PFF’s 15-ranked EDGE player out of 65 who played more than 511 snaps.Dan Pizzuta listed Smith in his look at potential replacements for Olivier Vernon, saying he “fits the responsibilities of a more traditional 3-4 outside linebacker.”Za’Darius Smith of the Baltimore Ravens is another player who could appeal to the Giants.SafetyPrimary targets — Adrian Amos, Chicago Bears; Tyrann Mathieu, Houston TexansAfter the Giants moved on from Landon Collins, this is the position that has people fascinated. It seems as though the Giants, needing to make a choice on how best to spend the cap resources available, prioritized finding a true free safety rather than paying big for Collins, who is really a hybrid strong safety/linebacker.Amos Bio Age:聽26 in April聽Height:聽6-foot | Weight: 2142018 stats:聽37 tackles (2 for loss) | 2 interceptions | 9 passes defensedPro Football Focus:聽Overall grade (82.7) | Run defense (78.1) | Pass defense (85.5) | Tackling (74.5) | Missed tackles (9) | Passer rating against (80.1)Now, can they make that gambit pay off by landing the big-time free safety required in a Bettcher scheme that relies heavily on a single-high center fielder?Amos seems like the big prize here. The 2015 fifth-round pick was a four-year starter in Chicago. Pro Football Focus ranks Amos the No. 3 safety available in a robust safety market.PFF might be right about Amos’s market, as that is said to be “robust.”Amos had only three interceptions in four years, but is a solid back end defender. He missed only five tackles in 2018 Youth Mark Bavaro Jerseys , and his 8.7 tackling efficiency rating was 15th among 31 safeties who played at least 80 percent of their team’s snaps.In 2018, PFF had Amos playing 685 of 1,161 snaps at free safety. He played 106 at corner and 297 lined up as a box safety. So, the Bears only used him in the box 25.6 percent of the time and lined him as a deep safety on 59 percent of their defensive snaps.In 2017, Amos played 344 of 817 snaps as a free safety and 265 lined up in the box. In 2016, 582 free and 252 box. In 2015, 844 free and 144 box.Spotrac places Amos’s market value at six years, $48.4 million, or 8 million and change annually. That would put him among the top five safeties in terms of contract value, and if his market is as strong as anticipated might be conservative.If Amos doesn’t become a Giant maybe Tyrann Mathieu will. Mathieu starred for Bettcher in Arizona, and the Giants’ need for a play-making safety makes it easy to connect the dots between the Honey Badger and the Giants. After five seasons in Arizona, the last couple of which were impacted by injuries, Mathieu spent last season rebuilding his value with the Houston Texans. He has now been healthy for two full seasons and 2018 was his most productive years since his 2015 All-Pro year. He had two interceptions, eight passes defensed, a career-best three sacks and tied his career high with 89 tackles. A concern might be that his passer rating against of 112.4 was the second-worst of his career.Mathieu at this point in his career is also not a full-time free safety. In 2019, he played 301 snaps at free safety Mark Bavaro Jerseys Stitched , 352 in the slot and 419 in the box.Spotrac estimates his value at five years, $43.9 million. That is $8.7 million annually.Another former Cardinal, Deone Bucannon, might also make sense for the Giants as a Collins replacement. BBV RadioCornerbackPrimary target — Bryce Callahan, Chicago Bears The Giants appear serious about upgrading their pass coverage. The biggest “football” reason for allowing Collins to leave had to be related to pass coverage, which is not his strength. The Giants’ defense was 25th in the NFL in yards allowed per pass attempt (7.2) and 28th in yards allowed per completion (11.2), but just ninth in passer rating against (89.8).Among 22 cornerbacks who played at least 50 percent of their team’s coverage snaps, Callahan ranked fourth, giving up a reception every 11.5 coverage snaps. His 78.9 passer rating against was third in that same group of corners.Callahan is a pure slot corner. He played 610 of 689 snaps in the slot in 2018, per Pro Football Focus. In 2017, that numbers was 478 of 513.Pro Football Focus ranks Callahan as the No. 2 cornerback available on the free agent market.Spotrac sets Callahan’s market value at four years, $25.5 million. That’s roughly $6.38 million annually, per Spotrac’s calculations.Another defensive back who might interest the Giants is Kareem Jackson of the Houston Texans. Jackson turns 31 in April and has spent his entire nine-year career in Houston. He had two interceptions, tied a career-high with 17 passes defensed and set a career-high with 87 tackles last season. His versatility — and probably a lower, shorter-term price tag — might appeal to the Giants. In 2018, Jackson played 117 snaps in the box Color Rush Darius Slayton Jersey , 328 as a slot corner, 467 as an outside corner and 135 as a free safety.Cap stuffPatricia Traina took a look at the Giants’ cap situation last week, prior to the Olivier Vernon-Kevin Zeitler trade. Most of what she wrote is still valuable, and you should read it if you haven’t already.After the Vernon-Zeitler trade and the re-signing of center Jon Halapio, Spotrac now estimates the Giants to have $24.116 million in cap space. That puts them 20th in the leaguein cap space entering free agency. Considering that the Giants are estimated to need $10.6 million to sign their rookie class and that Gettleman has said he would like to save at least $8 million for contingencies that doesn’t leave the Giants a lot of room. They can’t just go off willy-nilly and throw massive amounts of cash at every player they would like to have. There are, however, always ways to maneuver the cap. I would expect the Giants to be aggressive in pursuing the top couple of players on their list, then look for bargains later. If they need cap space, tight end Rhett Ellison ($3.25 million cap savings, $2.5 million dead money) and Kareem Martin ($3.6 million savings, $2.3 million dead money) might be in jeopardy.

Which is why the lack of a first-round pick at the moment doesn’t mean he won’t have one by the end of the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Greg Joseph Jersey , the Browns General Manager made it clear on multiple occasions that he’s open to the idea of moving back into the first round, after dealing the 17th overall pick to the Giants for wide receiver Odell Beckham.“We’ll try to plan for every scenario that we can,’’ Dorsey said. “If we deem that there’s a player to move up for – that’s a hypothetical – if you think the player can help you, you go up and do it. You have to plan for them, but then you have to execute them on the day of the draft.”Not only did he make the Beckham deal, he’s also traded future picks to get the quarterback he wanted in Kansas City (Patrick Mahomes).Coupled with some players who could be dealt (like running back Duke Johnson), and two extra fifth-rounders, the Browns have some degree of ammunition if they want to make (another) aggressive move.

As reported by FOX5 television station in San Diego where the trial is being held in Vista Jabrill Peppers Color Rush Jersey , California, jury selection began and the trial is set to begin. He is facing life in prison with a barrage of charges. Winslow, Jr.’s charges span a wide array of time periods. He is charged with felonies of sexual assault on the same homeless woman twice as two counts of forcible rape, plus first-degree burglary, two counts of kidnapping with intent to commit rape, one count of forcible oral copulation, one count of forcible sodomy, one count of indecent exposure and two counts of residential burglary. In addition, he has misdemeanor charges of elder abuse, battery of an elderly person, and lewd conduct.Last March, while awaiting trial on the first-degree burglary and out on a $2 million bond E.J. Gaines Color Rush Jersey , he was arrested for lewd conduct for touching himself in the presence of a 77-year old woman in a hot tub at a local health club. That action resulted in his bond being revoked and he has since been incarcerated without bond. All of these charges could result in Winslow, Jr. being put away for life. Three separate cases were originally scheduled but have been combined into one jury trial. He has pled not guilty to all charges. It is speculated that part of his defense could be the result of the brain disease CTE. However, at this time this is only found to be positive once the subject is deceased and a study is performed. His defense team could attempt to use a mental defect defense as a possibility. There are multiple women who currently stand as his accusers, including two elderly women and a then-17 year old female in an incident that occurred in 2003.Winslow, Jr. was a highly-touted offensive threat coming out of college where he was a unanimous All-American and had captured the John Mackey Award for college football’s best tight end. The Browns were slated to select at the number 7 slot in the first-round, then traded a second-round pick and swap one position with the Detroit Lions in order to take Winslow, Jr. with the sixth pick. Still on the board at the time were QB Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers), DT Vince Wilfork (Patriots), RB Steven Jackson (Rams), SS Bob Sanders (Colts) and OG Chris Snee (Giants). His first two seasons in Cleveland was a wash as Winslow, Jr. broke his right fibula his rookie year and then had a motorcycle wreck that eliminated his entire sophomore season. He rebounded with his best season in 2007 where he gained 1,106 yards on 82 receptions https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Damarious-Randall-Jersey , five TDs and made the Pro Bowl. The following year he dipped to 43 catches for 428 yards and a mere three TDs. He was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a second and fifth-round draft pick and then signed a six-year $36 million contract. He led the Bucs in receiving for three seasons. Even though he was productive, the club felt his salary did not match his production and then was traded again, this time to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks attempted to sign him for less money and when he declined, he was waived a week before the 2012 opening game. The New England Patriots picked him, but after one game he was released. The New York Jets signed him the following year, however, after playing in three games he was suspended for four game for violating the league’s PED program and later released after he was arrested for possession of synthetic marijuana.After sitting out two seasons, he had a workout with the Green Bay Packers but was not signed. He later played in the developmental Spring League in 2017 and was invited back to the 2018 Spring League, but did not play.

Every week is a story, and we bring this to you through the lens of key plays that defined the game. Your Week 1 match-up:Buffalo Bills at Baltimore RavensIt was finally here! The NFL regular season. With the quarterback of the future acquired in the draft and exciting new faces in the building, things were looking up for the Buffalo Bills. Sean McDermott’s rookie year as head coach had led the Bills to their first playoff berth in nearly two decades. Looking to build off this success, the season opened with a sense of wonder. First up; the Baltimore Ravens. The team Buffalo narrowly edged out for the final playoff slot the year before was a poetic beginning to a new year. Until the game actually started. The Ravens put a beat-down on the Bills to the tune of 47-3. Along the way, the Bills stirred up a quarterback argument that still rages on today. Fans were reminded that pain is part of the process in spectacularly brutal fashion. Opening kickoff (Q1, 15:00) This is the play of the game for the Buffalo Bills. I wish I didn’t have a solid argument for that statement. Stephen Hauschka’s kick to start the game was brought out of the end zone by Janarion Grant who was marked down at the 20. This “five yards better than if he had downed it” scenario is one of few objectively positive outcomes of the game. This also represents literally the entire time the Bills were arguably in control of the game. The Ravens marched down the field and scored a touchdown with 8:49 left in the first quarter. It was the winning score. Nathan Peterman’s first pass of the day (Q1, 8:16)When you’re defining a game like this one, unfortunately the narrative steers away from highlights. This incomplete pass is all too emblematic of the day. The Bills finished the game with 98 passing yards despite throwing the ball 33 times. A 33% completion rate and just under three yards per attempt are statistics that are painful to calculate. Any incompletion would have sufficed, but Nathan Peterman’s first throw of the game was selected to juxtapose with a play we’ll look at in a moment. Tremaine Edmunds’s first NFL sack (Q2, 11:58)There’s no way to go a full 60 minutes of game time without at least a few things going right. While this game was nearly irredeemable, let’s take the time to celebrate one notable milestone. Tremaine Edmunds stays disciplined and takes down a scrambling Flacco. It’s right on the fence between sack and tackle, but we go with the official NFL log and give the rookie his credit. Nathan Peterman’s second interception (Q3 Russell Bodine Jerseys 2019 , 11:39)It’s not my intent to pile on Nathan Peterman, but there’s no way of avoiding how this shaped the story of the game. Before this throw, Peterman was 5-for-17 for 24 yards and one interception. In comparison, Lamar Jackson ended the game with four pass attempts and matched Peterman’s yardage output. Back to this throw, Kelvin Benjamin arguably should have bailed his quarterback out. Regardless, this was the death knell for the Peterman era. While it was a slower death than many hoped for (including starting again), this was the final straw. With his performance against Baltimore, Peterman earned a 0.0 passer rating. The Josh Allen Era begins! (Q3, 10:54)Josh Allen throws his first regular-season NFL pass! Here’s our juxtaposition mentioned above. Both Allen’s and Peterman’s first passes fell incomplete, but they seem like night and day. Allen’s pass found the same zip code as his intended receiver and may have even been caught if it weren’t for some contact by the defender. This was an incompletion that had promise! It was sooner than anticipated, but the Allen era was on in Western New York.Josh Allen’s final pass of the game (Q4, 0:11)This is perhaps my favorite play from the game. The execution is lacking. And ultimately it had zero bearing on the outcome of the game. What stands out is that with 11 seconds to go and down by 44 points, the Bills let Allen throw it downfield. For a team that had repeatedly played incredibly conservative football on offense in 2017 White Phillip Gaines Jerseys , the decision to allow Allen to practice more aggressive calls was refreshing.Buffalo Bills starting quarterback became very interesting Friday night The Buffalo Bills have completed two of their four preseason games in 2018, and while their starting quarterback competition appears far from settled, events from Friday night’s 19-17 win over the Cleveland Browns have provided some clarity on where things are headed there.With next Sunday’s trip to Cincinnati serving as the de facto regular season dress rehearsal for the club, here is where things (seem to) stand for the Bills at quarterback heading into that game.AJ McCarronMcCarron reportedly suffered a hairline fracture to his collarbone at some point in his four series’ worth of action last night. Obviously, that type of injury could very well keep him out of the lineup for an extended period of time, and it’s an unfortunate development in his bid to win his first starting job at the pro level.Even before that news broke, however, McCarron seemed to have lost ground in the race. McCarron’s chunk of playing time with the starting offense in Cleveland was easily the worst performance by a Bills quarterback thus far this preseason. That wasn’t necessarily all on McCarron, of course, but when you’re the owner of the only truly poor performance thus far in the competition, you’re naturally going to slip a little bit.Here’s to hoping that McCarron’s injury is not serious enough to keep him out for too long.Josh AllenAllen was a breath of fresh air for the Bills’ offense in Cleveland. Following four straight three-and-outs from the starters, the offense scored on three consecutive possessions (a touchdown and two field goals) after Allen entered the game. Granted, all of that happened after Cleveland pulled their defensive starters Phillip Gaines Jerseys 2019 , but that shouldn’t take away from the fact that Allen elevated the play of the unit when he was on the field.Through two preseason games, Allen is 18-of-32 for 176 yards with two touchdowns, no turnovers, and a quarterback rating of 92.7. He has also added 47 rushing yards on six attempts, and his ability to extend plays with his legs is becoming a distinct advantage for him in the competition.We have not really learned anything about Allen this preseason that we didn’t already know. He is Buffalo’s most talented quarterback by a country mile. He throws a great heater, but his off-speed stuff needs some work. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, but it’s not at all clear yet how he’d handle on-field adversity when the games count. In a perfect world, he’d sit and learn for a little while, but he may not have that opportunity in Buffalo.Allen is probably the fan favorite to start at this point. That won’t matter to Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott. But given his consistent performance after moving from the third-team offense to the second-team offense this past week, it would frankly be shocking at this point if Allen didn’t see time with the first-team offense next week - especially if McCarron is sidelined.Nathan PetermanIt’s hard to imagine a scenario in which Peterman could have put a better foot forward than he has thus far in preseason action. In roughly two and a half quarters’ worth of play, with the first-team offense (against Carolina) and the third-team offense (in Cleveland), Peterman has completed 17 of 20 passes for 231 yards with two touchdowns and one (not-entirely-his-fault) turnover. That’s good for a quarterback rating of 127.3.This competition was always Peterman v. McCarron, with Allen’s progress (or lack thereof) serving as the wild card. Allen is playing well White Marshall Newhouse Jerseys , and has kept himself in the conversation as a result. But even before the injury, McCarron had fallen behind Peterman, and not just because of Peterman’s near-perfect performance. Peterman had looked sharper and more in command of the offense, and most importantly, offered some extra juice in terms of escapability and playmaking outside of the pocket.Right now, it’s easy to argue that the Week 1 starting job in Baltimore is Peterman’s to lose. Allen needs a shot with the first-team offense to truly round out the evaluation, and we all know that it’s only a matter of time before Allen takes over the starting job, hopefully permanently. But it’d be a tough sell to argue that Allen has outplayed Peterman in preseason action. Peterman has been quite good.There’s no reason to get ahead of ourselves here; the Bills won’t be doing that to themselves, either. The starting job is (probably) now a Peterman-or-Allen proposition, and a week from tomorrow, both will likely see time with the first-team offense in their most important exhibition performance yet.

“bromance.”Patriots quarterback Tom Brady himself openly uses the word love to describe his bond with Julian Edelman David Andrews Jerseys 2019 , a receiverhe’s come to depend on during his career.As the duo prepares to play in a fourth Super Bowl together, each says the connection might be tighter ever — both on and off the field.“We have a great relationship, Jules and I, and I trust him so much,” Brady says. “He’s always been kind of like my little brother, in a good way. I don’t have a little brother, but he’s kind of like a little brother and he knows how much I love him.”In Edelman’s case, it’s a little brother who has established himself as one of the best slot receivers in Patriots history.He missed the entire 2017 season with a torn ACL and the first four games of this season for violating the league’s performance enhancers policy. But the 32-year-old helped Brady steady an offense that struggled early this season and had to adjust following the suspension of Josh Gordon heading into the final two games.Edelman ended the regular season with a team-high 850 receiving yards and was second on the team with 74 receptions and six touchdowns. His production has continued through New England’s first two playoffs games, with Edelman hauling in 16 catches for a team-high 247 yards.Heading into the matchup with the Rams, his 1,271 postseason receiving yards are the most in Patriots history. There are also just two receivers in NFL postseason history with over 100 catches: Jerry Rice with 151 and Edelman with 105.It’s earned him high compliments not only from Brady, but from Rice, who praised Edelman as someone who has an attitude of “‘I’m going to do what I want to do White Patrick Chung Jerseys , and I’m going to go out and I’m going to ball.”It not unlike the determination used to describe Brady, who at age 41 continues to prove his skeptics wrong.“He’s a really good football player, the best,” Edelman said. “He goes out and he consistently proves it. He’s one of our leaders and he’s a leader for a reason.”Though they first met as teammates in New England when Edelman was drafted by the Patriots a decade ago, he and Brady took remarkably similar paths to get to the NFL.Both natives of California, each of them grew up idolizing the San Francisco 49ers’ dynasty led by Joe Montana and Rice.Brady played his college ball at Michigan, with Edelman eventually choosing Kent State across the border in Ohio.Their stories continued to mirror each other when it came time for the NFL draft.Brady infamously wasn’t selected until the sixth round in 2000. Edelman, an undersized quarterback who switched to receiver, didn’t hear his name called until the seventh round in 2009.Chasing the NFL was a leap of faith for Edelman, who nearly signed a contract with the CFL’s British Columbia Lions to play quarterback.“I sat down with my father and basically, he’s like ‘Let’s do it,'” Edelman recalled. “I just had an eerie feeling in my stomach and I told him I didn’t grow up wanting to play in the CFL.I went and tried to play in the NFL. That was my decision. Everything happens for a reason.”Edelman was already a fan of Brady’s when he arrived as a rookie, but he said he almost instantly recognized an underdog spirit in his new quarterback as well.As their relationship has evolved Patrick Chung Jerseys 2019 , they say they’ve developed their own sort of silent language on the field, and have unique ways to hype up each other.An example was during the AFC championship game when video captured Edelman in Brady’s face yelling , “You’re too old!” as Brady sat on the bench after throwing a first-half touchdown pass.“You’ve got two fiery guys. I think it’s fun to watch,” Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty said.“You see two guys that are the ultimate competitor. How hard they both compete in practice, you see the bromance at times, you see the fiery looks they give each other sometimes if someone messes up. Just that look of not disappointment, of just like ‘get it together.’ I think it’s almost like brothers.”Brady said he continues to be amazed by Edelman.“Look at his stature. He wasn’t built like Megatron (Calvin Johnson). He’s just built the way he was built and I think he’s just worked so hard over the years to learn how to play receiver,” Brady said. “He’s just done an incredible job.” What a play.Make that 100 of them.The NFL revealed 70 of the 100 greatest plays in league history on Friday night with a TV special produced by NFL Films that has everything from spectacular offensive performances to defensive gems. In balloting conducted by The Associated Press, 68 media members on a nationwide panel voted for their top 100.Among those disclosed, the range goes from Steve Van Buren’s touchdown in the snow in 1948 (No. 91) to Hugh McElhenny’s catch and run without a helmet in 1952 (No. 92) to the brutal hit applied by Chuck Bednarik on Frank Gifford in 1960 (No. 44) to Jim Marshall’s wrong-way run in 1964 (No. 54).Post-merger, the list features everything from John Elway’s helicopter spin in the Super Bowl after the 1997 season (No. 33) to Dan Marino’s fake spike (No. 38) in 1995. It also includes Mario Manningham’s clutch reception to spark the Giants‘ comeback to beat the Patriots in the title game for the 2011 season and Deion Sanders’ punt return for a TD the first time he touches the ball for Atlanta in 1989, which Sanders describes in detail.“So I make it down to Atlanta, had a couple days of practice White Duron Harmon Jerseys ,” Sanders recalled. “I didn’t start, but they knew punt returning is instinctive, so you got to start me returning punts. So I had a small chat with the punt return team: ‘Hey guys, just block seven. I got four, all right?'”But things didn’t go perfectly.“They kicked it and I dropped it,” Sanders added. “I took my eyes off it and I dropped it, and when I dropped it, that was the best thing that happened. Because when you drop a ball, the punt team tends to migrate together, get out of their lanes, and they all came tight. All I had to do was making it to that corner and hit it. And when I hit it, I hit.”The eclectic list ranges from the very old to the very new: outstanding recent plays such as Aaron Rodgers‘ Hail Mary to beat Detroit in 2015 (No. 52) to Derrick Henry’s 99-yard run (No. 89) and the Miami Miracle (No. 42) last year made the cut.“Until I got in the end zone, I mean honestly Duron Harmon Jerseys 2019 , I’m sitting before you all and I still don’t believe it,” Kenyan Drake said during interviews after the improbable conclusion to a 34-33 win over New England. Drake finished off a 69-yard reception-and-lateral marvel that some have dubbed “The Drake Escape.”Dozens of Hall of Famers are highlighted, as well. Along with Van Buren and Bednarik, Elway and Marino and Sanders, how about Gale Sayers’ 85-yard punt return in 1965 (No. 34), followed one spot later by Tony Dorsett’s 99-yard touchdown sprint in 1983?Walter Payton’s 1977 run through the Chiefs is 37th, with another Canton-inductee running back, Earl Campbell’s 1978 power rush against the Rams at No. 39.Don’t think sensational defensive plays were ignored.Tracy Porter’s pick-6 against Peyton Manning that clinched the Saints‘ only Super Bowl win in February 2010 is 32nd. Denver’s Jeremiah Castille stripping Cleveland’s Earnest Byner to cause “The Fumble” in the 1987 AFC title game came in 49th.The top 30 will be announced next Friday night.

Randy Moss Jersey , the case of a former basketball player deserves consideration.In 1994, Heisman Trophy winner and national championship quarterback Charlie Ward was available for the NFL draft, two months before the NBA draft. Ward had said that he could make no promises about signing an NFL contract, if he wasn’t drafted in round one.Earlier this week on , Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy (a former Vikings defensive coordinator) said that the late Dennis Green had considered using a first-round pick on Ward, but ultimately decided not to risk Ward not agreeing to terms.After Ward went undrafted Cris Carter Jersey , Green offered Ward a contract.“Whether or not he accepts it, that’s up to Charlie Ward,” Green said at the time. “A free agent contract is not very lucrative, but what it gives you is opportunity. If he’s interested in the opportunity to play in the National Football League, then he’d have that chance. If not, then he’d move on and we would also.”The Knicks made Ward the 26th pick in the NBA draft Chris Doleman Jersey , and he played basketball from 1994 through 2005.For Murray, the challenge (if he wants to play football) will be to persuade the team that considers drafting him that he will indeed show up and sign a contract. Although many first-round picks end up being busts, that’s largely unavoidable. Wasting a first-round pick on a guy who never plays football is avoidable, and it’s the kind of unforced error that can get the guy who wastes the pick fired.

One such newsworthy item revolves around the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur, as the two men most responsible for bringing the Green Bay Packers back to greatness.Monday’s Cheese Curds discussed a breakdown of their working relationship, but today’s looks at a specific facet of the scheme that has become a concern in some circles lately: Rodgers’ ability to change the play at the line of scrimmage. LaFleur’s scheme tries to minimize the need to make those changes — it’s designed to take the pressure off the quarterback.However, LaFleur is a smart guy Womens J'Mon Moore Jersey , and he knows that he needs to tailor his scheme to his players’ strengths. One way he can do that is by allowing Rodgers — one of the most intelligent players in the NFL — to have at least some freedom to react to what he sees on the field. Finding that balance will be important, and both men will likely need to relinquish a little bit of the control that they are used to, but a professional approach and a bit of compromise on both sides can get these two exactly where they need to be.Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur navigating new Packers partnership - NFL.comDiscussion about how much freedom Rodgers has to make changes at the line will probably rage on well into the regular season.

Gutekunst made a trade with old pal John Schneider, the GM of the Seattle Seahawks, trading the 30th pick and the Packers’ two fourth-rounders at 114 and 118 for pick number 21.That pick is safety Darnell Savage from Maryland. Savage ran a blistering 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the Combine in Indianapolis this year and immediately slots in as a starter at free safety with slot coverage ability. Savage’s explosiveness is also excellent, with a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-6 broad jump.Savage, who stands 5-foot-11 and 198 pounds, is a great ballhawk with eight interceptions in his college career. As a senior in 2018 Womens Corey Linsley Jersey , he recorded 52 tackles with 5.5 for losses and four picks. This selection makes him the first defensive back off the board in this year’s draft.This move likely solidifies the Packers’ intended move of Tramon Williams back to cornerback, as Savage should pair with newly-signed safety Adrian Amos on the back end of the defense.In addition, this trade seems to work out beautifully for the Packers. They were able to hold on to both of their day-two draft picks at 44 and 75, and they could move back into round four by unloading some of the four picks they still hold on day three.

week and they didn’t pitch a shutout White C.J. Mosley Jerseys , but they are still 3-0 three weeks into the 2019 season.New England built a 30-0 lead before mistakes by rookies on special teams and offense allowed the Jets to get into the end zone twice. That made the final score 30-14 at Gillette Stadium and gave the Patriots a couple of things to stress about after another comfortable victory.Gunner Olszewski muffed a punt that Arthur Maulet recovered for the first Jets touchdown. The second came in the fourth quarter when Jarrett Stidham relieved Tom Brady and promptly threw an interception that Jamal Adams returned for a 60-yard score. That led Bill Belichick to put Brady back in the game to play out the string.Brady was 28-of-42 for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Those touchdowns moved him into sole possession of second place on the NFL’s all-time passing touchdown list and Drew Brees won’t be able to catch up anytime soon.Brady had a couple of sparkling hookups with Josh Gordon, who shook off a finger injury. Julian Edelman was not able to return to the game after hurting his chest, however, and linebacker Dont'a Hightower also picked up a shoulder injury that will be worth keeping an eye on as the week unfolds.While the special teams and offense had those stumbles, the Patriots defense never wavered while allowing the Jets 101 yards of offense. They sacked Luke Falk five times and Devin McCourty picked off a pass for the only takeaway of the game for the unit.The Jets are 0-3 and riddled with injuries of their own. They’ll have a bye in Week Four and hope to get quarterback Sam Darnold and others back for Week Five against the Eagles. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The New York Jets keep finding new ways to lose games, and the latest left coach Todd Bowles furious they wasted a 16-point lead for their sixth straight loss.So much went right Sunday as Jason Myers kicked five field goals C.J. Mosley Jerseys 2019 , Trumaine Johnson returned only his second interception this season 31 yards for a touchdown and the Jets blocked both a punt and an extra punt. Yet they wound up losing 26-22 to the Tennessee Titans when they couldn’t finish off a win.“If I knew the answer to that, honestly, we’d be finishing right now,” said Bowles, whose tenuous job security frays with each loss. “We’re doing the same thing we’ve been doing. At some point, we’ve got to make a play to win a ballgame. We had four penalties in that last drive alone that kept the drive alive. That shouldn’t have happened.”The Jets (3-9) had plenty of chances to put away the Titans (6-6) early only to settle for field goals on three trips inside the Tennessee 20. That included one drive that started at the Titans 18 after Kevin Pierre-Louis blocked and recovered a punt in the second quarter.Bowles said he wished he could answer the question on why the Jets are so ineffective in the red zone.“We haven’t scored in quite some time consistently, and we get stuck every time we get there. Thank goodness for Myers White Le’Veon Bell Jersey , and that’s not enough to win ballgames. We’ve got to be able to score touchdowns and stop people, and we have not done that, especially today.”Even when Andre Roberts returned a kickoff 61 yards to open the second half, the Jets went three-and-out after starting a drive at the Titans 42.“We had plenty of chances to put the game away and put our foot on their throats, and we didn’t do it,” Bowles said.The Jets went three-and-out five times with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold watching his third straight from the sideline with an injured foot. Veteran Josh McCown started, yet he was just 17 of 30 for 128 yards. His lone interception came with 21 seconds left on the Jets’ last chance to end this skid.New York wound up winning time of possession Le’Veon Bell Jersey 2019 , holding the ball for more than 33 minutes. The Titans had the edge in total offense 403-280.McCown said the Jets will look at what they can do better in the red zone moving forward.“We just weren’t good enough when we got down there, and guys got to look at what we can do to be better and do our best to get it fixed,” McCown said.Asked if the issues revolve around playcalling or execution, McCown said he only knows execution as a player. Settling for field goals didn’t help.“When you get the ball in advantageous positions, you’ve got to go score and get seven (points),” McCown said. “You can’t stack threes up all day. It’s going to come back and get you, and it got us.”Bowles said Darnold could have played Sunday White Sam Darnold Jerseys , but needed more work after missing the previous two games. Bowles wouldn’t say yet if Darnold will play when the Jets visit Buffalo next Sunday.The Jets also hurt themselves with too many penalties, finishing with 11 for 96. A facemask penalty on Johnson added 15 yards to a 25-yard scramble by Marcus Mariota on the Titans’ winning drive.Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa said a lack of discipline is what cost the Jets.“What can a coach do? A hold or anything like that, they can’t control that,” he said. “That’s on us. We have to play smarter. It has kind of been a thing all year. It is pretty frustrating.”
