Please tell us how much you could help the Houston Texans and how you would help them.”Landon Collins soon responded in a video recording to Mad Radio’s statement.“I couldn’t tell you,” Collins said. “I don’t know. I like the Texans. They’ve got a good defense, good defensive team over there. I know what it would take for me to get over there.

The league isn’t resting; they’re out their scrambling to put together their rosters at the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft and UDFA signing period to fill the remaining holes on their respective teams.The Texans had a hole in their roster once Andre Hal retired. Hal could play free safety and was good in three safety sets. His main skill of playing the center of the field to the sideline is going to be missed this season. After the draft, Houston attempted to replace him by signing former San Diego Los Angeles Charger Jahleel Addae. Expect Addae to back up Justin Reid at strong safety, see time as a third safety Kahale Warring Jersey 2019 , and maybe even mash in the box a little bit if Houston tries to run those light nickel packages. It didn’t cost much to bring Addae to Houston. He’ll cost the Texans only $1.105 million this season. Expect Houston to pursue similar deals with veterans as they fill out the rest of their roster. They should add another pass rusher, cornerback, running back, and maybe even an experienced outside wide receiver since there are plenty of those lying around.

GREEN BAY Isaac Nauta Jersey Womens , Wis. (AP) — Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater lined up for a field goal but seemed a little antsy, gesturing with his arms like a quarterback calling for a shotgun snap.It turns out that was exactly what it was.Prater's 8-yard pass on a fake field-goal try was a high and a little wobbly, but Levine Toilolo was so wide open in the end zone that it didn't matter. The Lions' beleaguered season ended on a high note on Sunday, when almost everything went right for Detroit in a 31-0 win over the Green Bay Packers."Basically I was trying not to screw it up," Prater said. "It worked out, so it was fun."Not so much for the Packers (6-9-1), who trailed 21-0 at the half and lost Aaron Rodgers early in the second quarter after to a concussion. The quarterback was sacked and lost his helmet on the second play of the game.Rodgers played two more series before departing. The offense never got going even when he was behind center."Yeah, it was hard. We just didn't have any rhythm," interim head coach Joe Philbin said.Both teams had long been eliminated from playoff contention. But the Lions (6-10) at least got a little positive push at the end of Matt Patricia's first season as coach.Matthew Stafford threw for 266 yards and two scores, both to T.J. Jones . Zach Zenner had a 13-yard touchdown run for the Lions, who have won four straight against their NFC North rival for the first time since 1982-83. That was one bright spot for a last-place Detroit team."I think those guys fought all year. I think they're tough — mentally and physically tough," Patricia said. "It showed up in the game today."SHORT ON RECEIVERSThe Lions' passing game clicked despite a depleted receiving corps, with Kenny Golladay missing the relatively meaningless game with a chest injury. The Lions had decisive edges in total yards (261-67) and first downs (16-3) by halftime, with 11 of the first downs coming through the air.Zenner finished with 93 yards on 21 carries. Stafford was 20 of 32 Isaac Nauta Detroit Lions Jersey , while rookie Brandon Powell had six catches for 103 yards"It was an opportunity for them and obviously it was a big stage," Stafford said about working with the young receivers. "Not an easy day to catch the football, wind swirling, cold, Lambeau Field."FINE FAKEPrater's touchdown pass gave the Lions a 14-0 lead with 10:36 left in the second quarter."Slow delivery, lollipop, but it was on target so that was a plus," Stafford joked when asked about the kicker's throw.OVER AND OUTRodgers walked back to the locker room around the same time his teammates were getting over the shock of Detroit's trick play.It was unclear exactly when Rodgers got hurt. He was 3 of 5 for 26 yards, not the way he wanted to finish even in a meaningless game."I said, ‘How long are you playing?' He said, ‘I'm going the distance,'" linebacker Clay Matthews said, recounting a pregame talk with Rodgers. "I said, ‘All right Isaac Nauta Jersey 2019 , I'll be out there with you in the fourth.' But it didn't play out like that."The Packers were also without receiver Davante Adams, who missed practice this week with a knee injury. Adams finished the season with 111 catches, one shy of tying the single-season franchise record set by Sterling Sharpe in 1993. Backup DeShone Kizer finished 16 of 35 for 132 yards and an interception, while Jamaal Williams managed just four yards on eight carries.Green Bay didn't top 100 yards in total offense until the third quarter.UNCERTAIN FUTUREThere is uncertainty in Titletown following a second straight losing season and the firing of coach Mike McCarthy in early December. Philbin, the offensive coordinator, went 2-2 as interim coach.When asked when he would interview for a chance to take the job permanently, Philbin deferred any questions to team president Mark Murphy, who is leading the search.Rodgers and Adams have each voiced support over the past couple weeks for Philbin."I was very appreciative of all the things they did all season and in the four weeks that I was leading them," Philbin said in recounting his postgame message. "And that we would get together tomorrow, we're going to have a brief team meeting tomorrow and we'll go from there." The Lions are still in great cap position for 2019."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions NotesDetroit Lions AnalysisDetroit Lions TransactionsDetroit Lions Game RecapsBreaking NewsIntroducing the 2019 Detroit Lions Draft Class! 脳NFL Free AgencyDetroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions Free AgencyDetroit Lions 2019 cap space: Lions still among top 10 in spending moneyNew,53commentsThe Lions are still in great cap position for 2019. EDTShareTweetShareShareDetroit Lions 2019 cap space: Lions still among top 10 in spending moneyAaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsThe Detroit Lions were one of the teams that made a pretty big splash in free agency’s opening week. Entering the week around 10th in cap space, the Lions splurged... big time. $90 million to Trey Flowers, $36 million to Justin Coleman, $25 million to Jesse James and another $4.5 million to Danny Amendola Isaac Nauta Jersey Mens , among others.With that kind of spending spree—and some would argue overpaying along the way—you’d think there would be no way the Lions were still in good standing in cap space. But as we saw throughout the week, the Lions back loaded all of their contracts, and now they’re entering the second week of free agency just like they entered Week 1: With a top-10 amount of cap space:With $29.45 million in cap space left, the Lions could still be big players in the later waves of free agency. Considering the Lions will probably keep around $10 million to help sign their 2019 NFL Draft class and carry into the regular season for a rainy day fund (or to help sign extensions in July), that leaves Detroit with plenty of spending money.The question now is how will the Lions use that money? With such extreme front-loading on their contracts, the Lions are either foreseeing some serious cap changes coming with the new collective bargaining agreement in 2021 or they are lining up to make another few significant moves this year. Obviously, the remaining free agents available aren’t quite as good as when free agency started, but the second wave features a new set of players—like Donald Penn, Adrian Clayborn, Josh Kline—who were released to save cap space before their 2019 bonuses hit the books. Will Detroit make a play for one of those players or do they have something bigger in their plans? Hopefully we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

Arizona Cardinals make a big trade in NJ.com's newest 2019 NFL Mock Draft."For many Robert Nkemdiche Jersey 2019 , the idea of trading down and accumulating picks is the best way for the Arizona Cardinals to reinvigorate their franchise.While many people, myself included, disagree with this notion, there was a trade down scenario proposed by NJ.com that would actually make sense for the Cardinals.From Zack Rosenblatt:"7. Arizona Cardinals (via Jaguars): DT Quinnen Williams, Alabama""TRADE: Jaguars trade their first-round pick (No. 7), cornerback Jalen Ramsey and a third-round pick (No. 69) for the Cardinals’ first-round pick (No. 1), and a 2020 third-round pick.""This is pretty much best-case scenario for the Cardinals. They accumulate assets -- including an elite cornerback to pair with Patrick Peterson -- and still wind up with arguably the most talented player in this year’s draft. Williams is No. 1 on many teams’ boards, but after a run on edge rushers, he somehow falls out of the Top-5. There’s always a top prospect or two that falls further than they should, and this time it’s Williams."Here's the reason I do this trade in a heartbeat... Jalen Ramsey.So often fans are infatuated with the idea of more draft picks https://www.thecardinalslockerroom.com/authentic-andy-isabella-jersey , but draft capital is actually better for acquiring already good players than college players.Especially if you get the best cornerback in the NFL for the cost of...? Moving down six spots?Here's the thing about accumulating picks... It's only a sound strategy if it works. You know who is actually a great NFL player already? Ramsey.This is a trade down scenario I can get on board with.The fact that Rosenblatt gives the Cardinals Q Williams is just icing.At that point it could have been Jonah Williams or even Jeffrey Simmons and it wouldn't matter because you already got the best player in the draft... Jalen Ramsey.What do you think? Would you make this move if you're the Arizona Cardinals? The Arizona Cardinals have been busy at the start of free agency. They added LB Jordan Hicks, LB Terrell Suggs, OG J.R. Sweezy, WR Kevin White, OG Max Garcia, and QB Brett Hundley via free agency...."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Podcasts The Revenge of the Birds podcastWho should the Cardinals add in Week Two of Free Agency?New,59comments Who should the Cardinals add in Week Two of Free Agency?Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsThe Arizona Cardinals have been busy at the start of free agency. They added LB Jordan Hicks, LB Terrell Suggs, OG J.R. Sweezy, WR Kevin White Black Markus Golden Jersey , OG Max Garcia, and QB Brett Hundley via free agency. The Cardinals also traded for OT Marcus Gilbert from the Steelers.Near the end of the 2018 regular season and before the start of free agency, the Cardinals added WR Pharoh Cooper, FS D.J. Swearinger, CB Robert Alford, TE Charles Clay, LB Brooks Reed, and LB Tanner Vallejo.Even with all of the new additions to the team, don’t expect the Cardinals to be finished just yet. There are still holes on the defensive line, defensive backfield Markus Golden Jersey 2019 , and the wide receiver position that the Cardinals will need to address.Here are some of the best available free agents that the Cardinals could add this week:LB Zach BrownBrown is the best available free agent linebackers, after being released by the Washington Redskins. Not sure why the Redskins used him as a two-down linebacker because he can do it all. Pro Football Focus gave him an 89.2 overall grade, the third-best linebacker grade of 2018. He was great as a tackler, run stuffer, and in pass coverage.CB Morris ClaibornePatrick Peterson could try to recruit his former LSU teammate to Arizona. He recorded two interceptions with the Jets last season. Just like Bashaud Breeland signed a one-year $5 million deal with the Chiefs filled with incentives, Claiborne is expected to receive something similar. The Cardinals need a slot cornerback and he could be a very inexpensive one. He played a 3-4 scheme the past two season, which gives the Cardinals even more of a reason to take a chance at signing the former first-rounder.WR Randall CobbCobb is familiar with Cardinals’ WR coach David Raih, who worked for the Packers last season. He looks to be on the downside of his career, after posting his second-lowest receiving yards total in 2018. But the Cardinals could give him a one-year deal and hope that he can recapture his pre-injury form.CB Darqueze DennardThe Cardinals have two starting corners in place, with Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford. But they’ll need a slot cornerback with Budda Baker moving back to strong safety. Considering the Broncos signed one of the top slot cornerbacks Black Josh Rosen Jersey , Bryce Callahan, in the NFL last season at $7 per season, maybe Dennard’s value is less than that. But he’s a player that continues to improve with every season. Though he wants $10 million per season, I don’t think he’ll get what he demands. DL Rodney GunterGunter had his best season in 2018, posting a career high in sacks (4.5). But he had that success in a Steve Wilks’ 4-3 scheme. He played nose tackle when James Bettcher was still the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator. The Cardinals have two vacancies at the defensive tackle position, opposite Corey Peters. Gunter may have played nose tackle in a 3-4 defense in the past, but he also has the intangibles to excel as a 3-4 defensive tackle.NT Danny SheltonPeters will turn 31 in June and the Cardinals will want to improve their defensive line rotation. Danny Shelton fits the bill. The soon-to-be 26-year-old is tough as nails as a run-stuffing nose tackle. He doesn’t bring much as a pass rusher but for a team that was the worst in NFL at stopping the run last season, Shelton would certainly improve the Cardinals in that category. Plus, he could very well be their nose tackle of the future.DL Brent UrbanUrban started every game of the 2018 season for the Ravens as a 3-4 defensive end. He’s big (6-7 300lbs) was one of the top run defenders in the NFL but again, doesn’t bring much to the pass rush category. But in Vance Joseph’s attacking 3-4 defense Josh Rosen Jersey 2019 , he could see an uptick in production. The Cardinals haven’t had that tall of a defensive linemen since Calais Campbell. Urban will turn 28 in May and he would be an under-the-radar move that could turn one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in 2018 to one of the best in 2019.DL Muhammad Wilkerson He had three productive games with the Packers before landing on injury reserve for the rest of the 2018 season. His productive has declined since 2016 but with his extensive experience as a 3-4 defensive end/tackle for the Jets, the Cardinals should give him a chance. Because he underachieved the past three seasons, he won’t be an expensive target either. The Cardinals have to start filling the defensive line at some point.Now, the Cardinals can’t sign everyone on this list. But at the very least, they should explore all of these options.

One way to reflect on the year-over-year decline is to evaluate which players from the 2017 squad the Panthers actively chose to not bring back this year (i.e. traded or didn’t re-sign). With that in mind here is the recap of the 2017 offensive players who saw at least a decent amount of playing time and how much (or little) the team missed them this year. G Andrew NorwellDeparted via: Free agency. Signed 5-year, $66.5 million deal with the Jacksonville JaguarsAfter a phenomenal 2017 All-Pro season with the Panthers, Norwell broke the bank as a free agent as he left Charlotte. In 2018 he played very well for the Jags but his season only lasted 11 games before he landed on injured reserve. Final evaluation: Happy for him he got paid, sad Carolina couldn’t afford him. WR Kelvin BenjaminDeparted via: Traded during 2017 season to the Buffalo Bills for 2018 3rd and 7th round picksKB trashed Cam Newton after the trade and became a pariah to the Panthers fan base. Finally freed from his “inaccurate” quarterback in Carolina, Benjamin registered the lowest catch percentage in the entire NFL in 2018 at 37.3 percent (min. 60 targets). He was waived by the Bills in early December 2018 then signed by the Kansas City Chiefs, but Kelvin was a healthy scratch in KC’s divisional playoff game. Final evaluation: Wow! We flipped arguably the least productive receiver in the league for Rashaan Gaulden (3rd round) and Andre Smith (7th round). Thanks, KB!RB Jonathan StewartDeparted via: Cut by Panthers. Signed 2-year Youth J.J. Jansen Jersey , $6.9 million deal with the New York GiantsJ-Stew’s 2018 season in New York was a disaster from the outset after he was ineffective in the preseason and struggled in the opening weeks of the regular season. In all, his 2018 stats consisted of six carries for 17 yards before going on injured reserve in November. Final evaluation: Much respect to J-Stew, but the Panthers were right to move on. TE Ed DicksonDeparted via: Free agency. Signed 3-year, $10.7 million deal with the Seattle SeahawksDickson is a solid veteran to have on an NFL roster for the right price, but he isn’t a difference maker. His 2018 season in Seattle was a typical ho-hum Dickson year with 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. Final evaluation: Ian Thomas’ future is far more exciting than Ed Dickson’s presentWR Russell ShepardDeparted via: Cut by Panthers. Signed a 1-year, $1.25 million deal with the New York GiantsThe Panthers signed Shepard to a 3-year contract prior to the 2017 season with the hopes of developing the emerging receiver into a reliable weapon. Instead, Shepard was nearly invisible in Carolina in 2017 (17-202-1) and was cut after one season. His 2018 production dropped even further with the Giants (10-188-2). Final evaluation: Would’ve been buried in 2018 behind D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, Devin Funchess, and Jarius Wright. QB Derek AndersonDeparted via: Free agency. Signed one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills in October 2018After seven seasons with DA as Cam Newton’s backup Stitched J.J. Jansen Jersey , the Panthers felt it was time to move on. Anderson signed with the Bills after Week 5 of the 2018 season. In two starts in Weeks 7 and 8 he committed six turnovers with zero passing touchdowns before landing on injured reserve in Week 9. Final evaluation: It was better grooming Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke than watching DA’s continued decline. WR Brenton BersinDeparted via: Flew away on a magnificent unicorn with a white, flowing maneWhile his eight receptions for 128 yards in 2017 were easily replaced, there will forever be a void in our hearts. Sunshine is so dedicated to the Panthers that he voluntarily chose not to play in the NFL in 2018 (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.) Final evaluation: Ain’t no Sunshine when he’s gone...Overall, props to Marty Hurney for letting each of these guys walk. It hurt to lose Norwell but the Panthers have too many holes on the roster to justify paying a guard in excess of $13 million per year. Hurney absolutely fleeced the Bills by getting a third and seventh round pick out of KB. Moving on from Derek Anderson gave us the Kyle Allen/Taylor Heinicke experience while Ed Dickson’s departure allowed Ian Thomas to really develop as a rookie. Overall, these moves led to healthy roster churn and fostered the development of younger players. Not bad, Marty.

It may have taken the Cincinnati Bengals a while to find a defensive coordinator for new head coach Zac Taylor Vincent Rey Jersey , but the rest of the coaching staff is now rounding into form.The team announced on Thursday the hiring of Nick Eason (defensive line), Tem Lukabu (linebackers), Brad Kragthorpe (offensive assistant), and Jordan Kovacs (defensive quality control) to their coaching staff with Todd Hunt and Garrett Swanson joining the team as assistant strength and conditioning coaches.All six coaches come to the Bengals from positions in college football, though Eason and Lukabu have prior NFL coaching experience.Eason spent 2018 at Austin Peay University and had accepted a job at Vanderbilt for 2019 before joining the Bengals. He previously spent four years with the Tennessee Titans as a defensive line coach from 2014-17.Lukabu was the linebackers coach at Mississippi State last season. He has previously served as a defensive quality control coach with the San Francisco 49ers (2016-17) and defensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012-13).Kragthorpe was an offensive coaching analyst at LSU last season after spending the prior two seasons at Utah State.Kovacs was a graduate assistant under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan the last two seasons. He played three seasons for the Miami Dolphins at safety (2013-15).Hunt and Swanson come to the Bengals after being with the University of Illinois. The Bengals drafting Jonah WIlliams didn’t throw Cordy Glenn off, but now he isn’t sure where he will be lining up along the line."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections #BITESIZEFilm RoomRoster Transactions and ContractsOrange & Black InsiderSalary Cap And CBACordy Glenn isn’t sure where he will end up along the offensive lineNew Boomer Esiason Jersey ,46commentsThe Bengals drafting Jonah WIlliams didn’t throw Cordy Glenn off, but now he isn’t sure where he will be lining up along the line.EDTShareTweetShareShareCordy Glenn isn’t sure where he will end up along the offensive lineMark Konezny-USA TODAY SportsThe Bengals’ selection of offensive lineman Jonah Williams could have huge ripple effects along the rest of the offensive line. Before the draft, Cincinnati seemed to have their five starting linemen in place. Cordy Glenn at left tackle, Clint Boling at left guard, Billy Price in the center and free agent guard John Miller on Price’s right. It also seemed like Bobby Hart would be slated at the right tackle with his three-year contract in place.When the Bengals draft Williams it seemed pretty simple to just put him at right tackle to replace Hart, which still could be the case. However Anthony Munoz Jersey , the Bengals have been pretty clear they feel Williams is a left tackle; whether they mean this year or in the future is unclear.Obviously, the player that could have an impact on the most in Glenn. He doesn’t even seem confident that his spot at left tackle is safe, and thinks a move is very possible.“Nobody knows. I’m pretty sure they have a plan in place,” Glenn told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, “They’re probably going to move a couple of guys around and see a couple of different lineups and see what they really have and what the unit to put on the field is.“Some guys can play in a phone booth and some can’t. I can play in a phone booth and I can play on an island,” Glenn said. “[Last time I played inside was] almost 10 years ago. I don’t know (if it’s like riding a bike). It will be interesting though for sure.”Inserting Williams at left tackle sparks plenty of questions. Does Glenn move to guard or right tackle? Is Boling’s spot at left guard in danger as well? The possibilities become pretty endless. We could be looking at a very similar line as last year’s Preston Brown Jersey , but it could be a matter of familiar faces in different places.It is hard to make any predictions at this point, but we should see far more experimentation during training camp and OTAs with where guys are lining up. It could very well go into the preseason. The issue with that of course surrounds the potential cohesion of the unit.You could argue that it will be hard to have a group establish chemistry if they’re still being moved around in the preseason. Last season when the Bengals had roughly the same starting offensive line from the beginning of the preseason (injuries were the only time someone lost their starting job) and easily make the point it is better to find the best five rather than build chemistry with the wrong five.I think everyone can agree, though, that the Bengals need to focus on starting the best players at every position along the offensive line regardless of contract or reputation. It is a fresh start for everyone to compete and get a product on the field that is acceptable. So far, the new coaching staff has all possibilities open in front of them. We can only hope they put a good offensive line together.

Once again Rashaan Evans Jersey , I look at a WR prospect for Music City Miracles, this time analyzing the giant Iowa State Cyclone."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Tennessee Titans PodcastThe Giant Hakeem Butler Is Worth A First Round PickNew,193commentsOnce again, I look at a WR prospect for Music City Miracles, this time analyzing the giant Iowa State Cyclone.CDTShareTweetShareShareThe Giant Hakeem Butler Is Worth A First Round PickReese Strickland-USA TODAY SportsThis is the third piece I’ve done on a wide receiver for Music City Miracles, after Marquise Brown and D.K. Metcalf. Iowa State receiver Hakeem Butler has gotten quite the amount of hype, and in his Junior season with he Cyclones he amassed 60 catches for 1,318 yards (22.0 yards per catch, 3rd in all of college football for 2018) and nine touchdowns.In comparing him, to Brown and Metcalf, Butler is closer to Metcalf. He’s 6’6 and 226 lb, but looks smoother as a receiver than Metcalf. A popular NFL comparison is A.J. Green, a top receiver. Butler is actually slightly taller than Green, and from the looks of it, he has similar vertical prowess. In the Titans’ quest for another receiver to match with Corey Davis and Adam Humphries, getting Hakeem Butler would give them another vertical threat that would set Tennessee up for a solid 1-2-3 combo.NCAAFButler’s technical approach as a route runner was terrific in college. While he doesn’t possess the flashiest routes, he can still create separation, which combined with his frame makes him a favorable target on deep shots.Here, the size matchup doesn’t even come close. Butler feels like a wide receiver version of Rob Gronkowski in a way because of how much of a gargantuan he is compared to the corner he’s facing. And despite his size he moves quite well here, using his left foot to push off and get one step on the corner. Butler’s quarterback targets him via a back shoulder toss, and he makes sure to drag his foot in bounds (Remember, it’s one foot in college, two in the NFL), so he has the spatial awareness down.NCAAFAgainst the same corner, Butler makes an impressive contested catch. An issue I have with Metcalf is that he can get trapped easily at times vs. corners in comparison to Butler, who uses a more technical approach here. The corner tries to get his hand onto the receiver, but Butler swipes it down, allowing him to get his arms free and win a slight advantage. That’s more than enough to make this play work.Because of Butler’s hand swat, he has the leverage against the corner Harold Landry Jersey , allowing him to make this catch look easy.Perhaps the most impressive part of Butler’s game is how difficult he is to bring down, again drawing comparisons to Rob Gronkowski. Gronk’s ability to separate and break tackles after the catch didn't come exclusively from his frame, but rather how violent he was with his hands and body. The same can be said for Butler.NCAAFNCAAFBoth of these touchdowns occurred in the same game, and as you may have guessed they’re both some of the best touchdowns I’ve seen from a college receiver in 2018. He’s able to slip by the tackle at the catch point in the first play, then stops, spins and pushes the defensive back off him, breaking into the open field. His ball security and frame does the rest for a sensational touchdown after the catch.In the second play, Butler’s tight friction allows him to win on the back shoulder pass, as he uses his aggression at the catch point to win the 50/50 shot. His impressive 4.48 40’ time at the Combine is evident here as well with his breakaway speed.If there’s one area Butler has to improve on, it’s his consistency catching the ball. He's been described as a body catcher, and that’s affected his ability to make a few catches as he’s left several on the field.NCAAFThis is a great throw from quarterback Brock Purdy under pressure. Unfortunately, Butler lets it slip through his hands. Butler’s drop concerns don’t come at an alarming rate, but it’s noticeable enough that it will decide if he can be great rather than just good.Still, all things considered I enjoy Hakeem Butler as a prospect. I think he’s a more fleshed out version of D.K. Metcalf, and though I think Marquise Brown is a superior receiver, Butler is certainly a far healthier option. Butler’s one of many selections at varying positions the Titans can consider at pick #19.Butler isn’t without his faults, but he and Corey Davis would make a great starting receiver duo, and combined with Adam Humphries and a few other role receivers, would give the Titans a boost in receiving depth they didn’t have in 2018. Julian Edelman left early for the locker room after injuring his ankle, but he did return to the sideline before the end to witness the ugliness. Not as many of the thousands of Patriots fans who made the trip to Nashville stayed that long. The Titans were the better team Sunday, dominating from start to finish.鈥淚 am sorry we disappointed some of the fans that were out here for us,” Edelman said to reporters, via WEEI. “We were heavily populated here. We have to go back to New England and get back to work.” The Patriots receiver caught nine passes for 104 yards.He said he would see how his ankle feels Monday, but the Patriots have their open date this week.鈥淣ot in a good mood, guys. I am sorry,” Edelman said. “Sorry for being an A-hole, but we got outplayed. Thank you.鈥

With Super Bowl LIII coming up on Sunday Michael Dickson Jersey , we have been wrapping up the 2018 season for the Seattle Seahawks with a review of the players the team selected in the draft last spring. Thus far we’ve already taken a stab at grading First round running back Rashaad Penny,Third round defensive end Rasheem Green,Seventh round quarterback Alex McGough, Sixth round defensive end Jacob MartinFifth round tackle Jamarco Jones, Fifth round punter Michael Dickson and Fifth round linebacker Shaquem Griffin. That leaves just two draft picks left, so today we’ll take a look at the one of those two picks who started off with a bang, but then joined fellow draft class member Jamarco Jones on injured reserve after suffering a devastating knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals. I know it’s hard for Seahawks fans to fathom a player with high levels of athletic ability and a physical demeanor suffering a season ending injury while playing a road game in Glendale against the Cardinals, but that is exactly what happened with fourth round tight end Will Dissly. Dissly shined in the Week 1 opener against the Denver Broncos, blocking well against a stellar defensive front seven, while also acting as a dangerous weapon in the passing game. Dissly finished the season with 156 yards on just 8 catches, but three of those catches happened to contribute 105 yards against the Broncos in Week 1. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, that contribution was not enough to overcome the altitude, and the Hawks dropped a game that was within their grasp of winning. In any case, there are obviously more questions than answers regarding Dissly’s recovery from his torn patellar tendon, and it’s just a matter of waiting until training camp to see how his knee is doing and whether he’ll be able to take the field in 2019. In the meantime all we can do is dream about what might have been and speculate about what could be when he returns. And, since it’s the offseason and we’ve got nothing better to do, we can grade the pick. As always Alex McGough Jersey , the Swerving Points column does not concern itself with the tier-one highlights of the game completed. Usually it finds the plays that shaped the game on a secondary level, because they’re important too, and it’s nice to remember that a football game is more than just the scoring plays or interceptions.Today I’ll bring up three developments and decisions from Glendale that figure to shape the rest of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2018 season. None of them are Earl Thomas’ injury. There has been much e-ink (eenk?) spilt all over this site and others about that crappy turn of events.Fine, before we dive in, you can have one Sportscentery highlight, one actual turning point. It’s Mike Davis’ second touchdown. Since we’ll be seeing more of him, again, than a lot of us figured. Partially because he is good.Now, we swerve.Interior pass rush shows up, by Jarran Reed and Poona FordSamuel Gold hooks us up again. If you’re on Twitter, you probably want to follow him.The sack is Reed’s third of the year. Needless to say, but gonna be said anyways, if an interior lineman were to produce a 12-sack season, that would be news, and would surely earn Reed some accolades and honors.The fact that it comes on the Cardinals’ first drive is a bonus because it forces adjustments. On a third down, too. But what’s equally important here is that Reed got help.“Poona Ford got a good Pro Football Focus grade. So what?”I hear your skepticism. In fact it’s quite rare for me to cite PFF grades at all, because their opaque process is questionable at best. But he was in for 17 plays and made a positive impression. It’s one thing for PFF to give Aaron Rodgers a negative grade on a 333-5-0 day. A false positive seems much less likely. If Ford was disruptive Delano Hill Jersey , it would be reflected in a good grade. If he was absent or a non-factor, not very likely. Anyway, the Seahawks are a team that desperately needs interior pass rush because the defensive ends are beat up. Ford trucking people would have a (C)heavy impact, allowing Seattle to maybe Dodge a loss or two.The Will Dissly sadnessSlightly overshadowed by the game’s other significant injury (and controversial hand gesture) was Dissly’s injury. He played all of eight healthy snaps, and on the ninth one the ghost of Jimmy Graham stole Dissly’s patella tendon, wrecking his 2018 and maybe even sending his 2019 season into doubt.The stadium that has often been called Seattle’s home away from home for excellent reasons, such as this 2013 post-game scene — — has turned into a real-life haunted house, where Seahawk seasons and careers end. Among other unfortunate events.Dissly has been a revelation. In a Brian Schottenheimer offense, the tight end is heavily featured. Now it’s up to Nick Vannett to take up the much-targeted mantle of TE 1 until Ed Dickson returns, though return is the wrong word since he’s never played a snap for Seattle.Through three games, Dissly had served as Russell Wilson’s most productive target besides Tyler Lockett, ranking second in yards and TDs with 151 and two scores. He’d also won the starting job and validated the Seahawks’ decision to use a fourth-round pick on a supposed blocking tight end.Without him, it’s not clear what production the team will get out of its TE room. It’s not even clear who the room will feature a week or two from now. For as inconvenient as Doug Baldwin’s injury and Brandon Marshall’s numerous drops have been for the offense, losing Dissly might be the biggest setback of the year so far. Which would’ve been a silly sentence to write a month ago, but NFL seasons have a way of doing their own thing.The decision to play for threeSchottenheimer and Pete Carroll teamed up with Wilson to get Seattle within striking range for a long game-winning field goal — and it worked! It also didn’t work against Atlanta or Arizona last year. It’s bad process, to play for three. The longer the kick, the worse the process.It’s baffling to me how the Seahawks coaches can watch a cautious strategy fail for them twice last year Nazair Jones Jersey , then once for their opponent in this same game, and decide to put their eggs in the kicker’s basket at the expense of their playmakers.The trend is worrisome. Carroll didn’t wake up on Sunday and decide to play it safe at the end of the game. It’s his reflex now, after seeing it in action thrice in his last 13 games.These paragraphs aren’t about how Sebastian Janikowski redeemed himself with a buzzer-beater after missing twice earlier in the afternoon. It’s really cool that he doesn’t have to be the goat. It’s really cool that he made the kick, because a) that was the first winning kick as time expired in the Russell Wilson era, and b) winning is fun. We’re talking here about how Carroll didn’t trust his best players to take the chances that would have led to a better shot at winning. Seabass made it, but it’s such bad process,What’s even worse is that not five minutes earlier, he’d just seen the Cardinals employ the same strategy and fail miserably, costing Arizona a chance to win. With a first down at the Seattle 31 and 2:59 to play with, the Cardinals called three David Johnson runs and set up for a go-ahead 45-yarder. Phil Dawson pushed it wide right.I understand that Janikowski was acquired specifically for situations where a long kick makes sense. Big leg, blah blah blah. But when you have 2nd and 1, at the opponent’s 43-yard line, with 1:06 left, you need to do better than:3-yard run up the middle6-yard pass in bounds0-yard run up the middlespikekickThe two Seahawks runs combined to remove 0.52 expected points off Seattle’s drive. They also were a clear signal that no shots would be taken at the end zone, or at the sidelines to increase the kick’s percentage.Again, it is good that the field goal was successful. I’m just afraid the positive result will prompt Carroll to trust a negative process even more. And it doesn’t appear too likely that a couple well-timed field goals will get the job done against the Los Angeles Rams this coming Sunday.

The NFL and Texans announced today that Deshaun Watson will participate in the Pro Bowl on behalf of the AFC.Watson replaces Tom Brady http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-bradley-roby-jersey , who will be preparing for the Super Bowl rather than making the trip to Orlando.Watson shined in his second NFL season this year, passing for 4,165 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also ran for 551 yards and five touchdowns.J.J. Watt will opt to not participate in the Pro Bowl. He has been replaced by Jaguars DE Calais Campbell. Jadeveon Clowney also pulled out of the Pro Bowl. He will be replaced by Steelers linebacker (and J.J.’s brother) T.J. Watt. Finally, DeAndre Hopkins also declined his invitation; he was replaced by Browns WR Jarvis Landry.With Watt, Hopkins and Clowney out and Watson in, there will be three Texans at the Pro Bowl. Watson will be joined by Lamar Miller and Benardrick McKinney. It will be the first appearance for any Texans player since the annual All-Star game moved to Orlando in 2017. For most of my life Womens Derek Newton Jersey , I never cared, or really thought about, what it took to keep a house up.If an appliance broke, my father would take care of it.If the yard needed mowing, Dad did it.We had no garden and a drafty house because despite my dad’s best efforts.he was no more handy than I was.hE did his best to make sure my sister and I had a roof over our heads.None of us really cared about having an attractive home or did any kind of serious gardening outside of mowing the lawn when it started to blot out the sun in the windows.Part of it was due to our collective laziness.part of it because none of us were particularly handy around the house (mostly the former in my case).In my formative years, my interests primarily revolved around getting a date and trying to beat Kefka in Final Fantasy VI.Fast forward to now Womens Jay Prosch Jersey , however, where I own a home that I’m not entirely sure I want to keep.I suddenly find myself thinking about starting a garden in the backyard, about modifying the front/side yards so I don’t have to mow them as much, if at all, and about how I’m kind of excited about trying to replace faulty electrical objects around the house (in the last two weeks, our dimmer switch has started to fail and the heating element in our oven broke and needs to be replaced).I never wanted to do anything of the sort until now.Now that I have a house which I can do these things on (side note:the house used to belong to my father-in-law and now belongs to Mrs. UT) Trevor Daniel Jersey White , this urge to do stuff is confusing the crap out of me.Just last week I spent an entire football Sunday doing research on how to build and operate irrigation systems for this hypothetical garden I plan to build.I think I’m getting old.Anyway, that’s what’s been going on in my head the last few weeks.What’s going on with y’all?Got any big ambitious household plans you’ve been itching to try or are in the middle of?Or do you just stay in the house and play video games, which is also a great way to while away a weekend?Let us know what’s going on with you.Because you’re interesting and important and we care about you as well.

GREEN BAY Eli Harold Jersey White , Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers will be without at least one of their starting receivers Sunday at Detroit.Randall Cobb has been ruled out, a hamstring injury sidelining him for the second consecutive week.Davante Adams, who injured a calf at Wednesday’s practice, will practice Saturday, coach Mike McCarthy said, and is listed as questionable. Also questionable is Geronimo Allison, who suffered a concussion during last week’s victory over Buffalo and has not practiced this week.The Lions have ruled out defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-frank-ragnow-jersey , guard T.J. Lang (concussion) and tight end Michael Roberts (knee).Adams (28 receptions, 285 yards, three touchdowns), Allison (19 catches, 289 yards, two touchdowns) and Cobb (17 catches, 194 yards Womens Nick Bellore Jersey , one touchdown) represent 62.1 percent of the completions, 64.8 percent of the receiving yards and 85.7 percent of the passing touchdowns for Green Bay through the first four games.“This is an important day,” coach Mike McCarthy said about Friday, a recovery-and-rehabilitation day under the team’s weekly format. “Usually by the end of today you have a pretty good idea how it’s going to shake out. Injuries are a part of the game. You have to be able to play through injuries in games, play through injuries in practice, play through injuries that you’re able to prepare for. That’s all part of your game plan.”Behind those three receivers, the Packers have three rookies — Marquez Valdes-Scantling Womens Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , J’Mon Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown. Valdes-Scantling has the only two catches from that group.Aaron Rodgers was removed from the injury report. He was full participation on Thursday — his first full-participation practice since suffering an injured left knee during the first half of the Week 1 victory over Chicago.“It’s a step forward, definitely,” McCarthy said. “He took every rep (Thursday) in practice.”Two starting defensive backs, cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Kentrell Brice, are questionable for the Packers. Cornerback Kevin King, who missed the last two games with a groin injury, was full participation all week and was removed from the injury report. The Lions’ former second-round pick is doing all he can to resurrect his career."It’s still pretty early in the offseason and many NFL players are using the opportunity to relax with friends and family. Some decide to take a vacation Womens Miles Killebrew Jersey , while others just enjoy the company of all the people they didn’t get to see much of during the season.Of course, there’s a third option for some players: keep grinding. Detroit Lions cornerback Teez Tabor is in that latter group, hoping to put two disappointing NFL seasons behind him and keep his football hopes alive.Former NFL receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson tweeted out a picture on Monday of him lining up and help train Tabor. Tabor hasn’t played much at all in his first two years in the NFL despite being drafted in the second round. Regardless, Lions general manager Bob Quinn displayed a lot of faith in him last week when asked at the NFL Combine.“I still have faith in him,” Quinn said. “Obviously he hasn’t played as much as I would have hoped, but we’re not giving up on him. I actually had a conversation with him a couple days ago. He’s a guy we’re counting on to get better.”It’s clear Tabor is committed to getting better, let’s hope that his play on the field reflects that in 2019.(Note: Also very mildly noteworthy are Tabor’s socks.) Chris Burke of The Athletic has 14 things he learned about the Lions after Combine week (subscription required). There’s a lot of interesting nuggets in there. For example: “The chances that at least one of Allen Womens Devon Kennard Jersey , Quinnen Williams or Gary is there at 8 are growing.”Speaking of offseason workouts, it looks like Zach Zenner made some workout buddies at the training facility that made him hella buff in 2018: Pro Football Focus thinks (ESPN Insider required) that upcoming free agent Tyrann Mathieu is a good fit for the Lions. Want the Lions to sign Trey Flowers? It’s going to cost them: Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press has injury updates on Marvin Jones Jr. and Ezekiel Ansah. Jones is expected to be a full participant in offseason programs, while Ansah’s injury could linger, affecting his free agency campaign. For you Michigan Wolverines out there, Denard Robinson is making some nice plays in the AAF through four weeks of the league:

NASHVILLE Colorado Avalanche Hoodies Authentic , Tenn. (AP) Filip Forsberg dropped his broken stick and raced to the bench for another just as the puck slid around the boards near his skates. He grabbed a new stick from the Predators‘ equipment manager, fought off Jets defenseman Ben Chiarot and kept the puck onside.Then he skated toward Connor Hellebuyck, holding off Chiarot as he scored, then slid into the net .The man also known as Scoresberg or Filthy Fil then helped send the Western Conference semifinal back to Nashville for a deciding Game 7 with another highlight-reel worthy goal. Viktor Arvidsson found Forsberg and the Swede slipped the puck through his legs, a movement that prompted Hellebuyck to slide away from the post to cover the empty net to his left.Forsberg immediately flipped the puck through the sliver of an opening, causing a GIF-frenzy on social media.With the postseason that Forsberg is having, Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne can’t settle on the best goal he’s seen from his teammate.”I feel like these two series that already at least three or four really unbelievable goals, and it’s hard to pick,” Rinne said. ”I’m just a fan when I watch him play.”Forsberg led the Predators with 64 points helping Nashville win the franchise’s first Presidents’ Trophy during the regular season. He now is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer in the playoffs with 15 points this postseason, bringing Nashville back for Game 7 on Thursday night against Winnipeg as the Predators seek a second straight berth in the West final. The winner of this series will host the Vegas Golden Knights for the first two games.With Pittsburgh and Boston eliminated, Forsberg now is tied with Washington’s Alex Ovechkin for the most points scored this postseason with 15, and the Predators forward has a plus-4 rating that is a point ahead of Ovechkin with both having played 12 games each.Forsberg looks just comfortable passing the puck through his own legs as those of a defenseman he’s undressing on his way to another goal or even just juggling the puck with his stick to give teammates time to get back onside. The 23-year-old forward from Ostervala, Sweden, said his stick skills are the result of lots of hard work.”Natural is definitely not the word for it, but it just takes a lot of practice Colorado Avalanche Hats Authentic , takes a lot of you doing,” Forsberg said. ”Just try to maybe do it in practice and stuff like that and once in a while you get time and space for it in a game, you try to pull it off.”Some scorers tap into their natural talent, blessed with quick hands and eyes along with soft hands. Others spend hours and hours developing muscle memory. Forsberg counts himself among those who made themselves into scorers. He started as a young child using a shooting ramp his father built for Forsberg and his brother and lots of road hockey.”I think that’s where it all started,” Forsberg said.His skills grew as he led his junior team with 40 points in 2010-11 and helped Sweden win silver at the 2011 World Under-18 Championship. Forsberg was captain when Sweden won both the World Under-18 and World Junior championships in 2012.The Washington Capitals made Forsberg their first-round pick at No. 11 overall in 2012. He never played a game for the Capitals before being traded April 3, 2013, to Nashville in exchange for Martin Erat and Martin Latta.The Predators wasted no time getting Forsberg on the ice, playing him five games that same season. Forsberg spent only 13 games with Nashville in 2013-14, and he has been a fixture in the lineup since 2014-15. They signed him to a six-year, $36 million contract in June 2016.Center Nick Bonino won two Stanley Cups with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in Pittsburgh, and he’s gotten to watch Forsberg up close this season after signing as a free agent.”He’s very skilled,” Bonino said. ”He’s one of the most skilled sticks I’ve ever seen. Practice is fun with him. Games are fun with him.”Forward Colton Sissons sees Forsberg as having a gift that helps him see how best to move the puck instantly to execute in high-pressure moments. Sissons also is pretty sure of what might happen if he tried to mimic some of Forsberg’s scoring moves.”I might break my ankle or something bad might happen,” Sissons said. ”I’d probably just jam it in the near post, but I’ll leave the through the legs stuff to Fil and some of those guys.”— COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Matt Duchene sparked his new team and Sergei Bobrovsky picked up his second shutout in as many nights as the Columbus Blue Jackets stopped the surging San Jose Sharks.Duchene tapped in a loose puck early in the second period to get his first goal for the Blue Jackets and added an assist in his second game with the team Custom Colorado Avalanche Jerseys , and eight other players picked up points in the 4-0 win over the Sharks on Saturday.Bobrovsky — who has refused to sign a contract extension with Columbus and may be traded before Monday’s deadline — had 26 saves in recording a shutout in both ends of a back-to-back for the first time in his career. He was in the net for the Jackets’ 3-0 win over Ottawa on Friday, hours after the Senators traded Duchene to Columbus.“When you play a team sport, there are so many things happening in front of you,” Bobrovsky said. “You play against the best players in the world, too, so obviously it’s tough to get the shutout. Lots of things have to come together, and it’s nice to have it.”Cam Atkinson had a goal and an assist, and Boone Jenner and Pierre-Luc Dubois also scored for the Blue Jackets, who have won seven of their last 10. They started the day in third place in the Metropolitan Division.“Yesterday walking in the room before I got traded and looking at the board and seeing all the names, I said ‘wow, that’s a hell of a team,'” Duchene said. “So hopefully, I can bring another element to that and fit in. So far, so good. Two good ones.”Martin Jones had 19 saves for the Sharks before being replaced by Aaron Dell halfway through the third period after Columbus scored for the fourth time. Dell had three more stops.San Jose lost for only the second time in regulation in its last 11 and is in second place behind Calgary in the Pacific Division.“They were better than us,” San Jose forward Joe Pavelski said. “There wasn’t much else to it. On our side of the puck www.officialbluejackets.com , we didn’t really put two passes together, we didn’t generate much speed.”A charging Jenner collected a great centering pass from Josh Anderson and finished from the slot to get the Blue Jackets on the board nine minutes into the game.Duchene tallied 59 seconds into the second period. Late in the second, with San Jose’s Micheal Haley in the penalty box for interference, Atkinson poked in a puck that got loose behind Jones, snapping a six-game power-play drought for Columbus.Skating hard through the left circle, Dubois stayed a step ahead of defender Marc-Edouard Vlasic and the slid the puck between Jones’ pads to give Columbus a comfortable lead 6:02 into the third, leading to Jones being replaced in the net.“We have a few of those games a year,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “I don’t know why. We didn’t execute. They were hungrier, they were more desperate, they deserved to win. We got what we deserved tonight.”After the game, the Blue Jackets announced the acquisition of Duchene’s former Ottawa teammate Ryan Dzingel, who played college hockey for Ohio State. Columbus got Dzingel and a 2019 seventh-round draft pick from the Senators in exchange for forward Anthony Duclair and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 draft picks.NOTES: San Jose lost on the road for the first time in seven games. … Columbus D Ryan Murray missed his third game with an upper-body injury. … Tortorella coached his 300th game for the Blue Jackets. … Columbus F Alexander Wennberg was a healthy scratch for the second straight game after the acquisition of Duchene. … Jenner and Anderson have points in three straight games. … Anderson has 10 points in the last 10 games.UP NEXTSharks: At Detroit on Sunday.Blue Jackets: Host Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
