Next NFL draft QB steal in mold of Russell Wilson, Derek Carr could be Nathan Peterman

Leave a reply

MOBILE, Ala. Since 2005, nine quarterbacks have attended the Senior Bowl and gone on to be first-round picks. Joe Flacco, EJ Manuel and Carson Wentz, for example, can trace Cheap Giants Jerseys their NFL draft process rises directly to Mobile, Ala. Even recent second-rounders like Jimmy Garappolo and Derek Carr earned their attention after strong weeks of practice at the Senior Bowl.

In 2017, given one of the weakest senior quarterback classes in recent history, NFL teams came to Mobile pessimistic about the position but hopeful one prospect would emerge. Pittsburgh’s Nathan Peterman has done just that.

We’ve had the bye twice and we won one and lost one, and you have to approach it as a normal work week, Ryan said, via ESPN.com. Thats probably the thing that Ive learned in both of those Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys times, is to keep doing things that weve done up until this point and stay in rhythm.

I think we practiced really, really well last week. I think thats important, to keep that rhythm and keep that timing and get out there and work.

Interestingly enough, the Falcon’s playoff win with Ryan was against the Seahawks, in 2012. But Ryan doesn’t take much comfort in that fact.

The biggest thing is, when youre playing in the playoffs, its not that different,Ryan said. You still have got to go do the right things. You’ve got to play well. Youve got to convert third downs. Youve got to score when youre in the red zone. That stuff doesnt change.

Thats probably the No. 1 thing that Ive learned throughout my career: Dont make it any less than it is, and dont make it any more than it is. Its about going out there and playing well.

Ryan has had a spectacular year, finishing the regular season with 4,944 passing yards and 38 touchdowns with only seven interceptions.

In search of ‘elite’ pay, Devonta Freeman airs timeshare frustrations at odd time

Leave a reply

The Falcons may not be playing in Super Bowl 51 if it wasn’t for running back Devonta Freeman’s play this season.

The third-year player rushed for 1,079 and 11 touchdowns this season Cheap Euro Jerseys en route to his second Pro Bowl selection. But while he’s focused on beating the Patriots, Freeman and his agent are already looking forward to this offseason and beyond as he seeks an elite contract before Cheap Football Jerseys Xxl his rookie deal expires after next season.

It’s time for the Falcons to pay him like the elite back he is, Freeman’s agent, Kristin Campbell, told NFL Media on Monday. I expect them to make him a priority this offseason, as he’s been an integral part of the dynamic offense that has gotten them to the Super Bowl.

Despite Freeman’s stellar play, he’s losing carries to the bigger and younger Tevin Coleman. In the NFC championship game against the Packers, Freeman got 14 carries to Coleman’s 11. The timeshare has been a source of cognitive dissonance for Freeman this season as he wants what is best for his future but also the team.

Mike (Tomlin) came back at me which he should have never done, Bradshaw said. It’s like Dabo. Dont let people know that you get to them. Just blow it off.

All things considered, its both a small tweak and a big tweak on the horizon for the Broncos. No other new head coach walks into a situation nearly as favorable. The AFC West competition is tough, with the Raiders and Chiefs, but hardly insurmountable for this team.

The quarterback is the key to the Broncoshopes, and to Josephs chances of hitting the ground running.

John Elway choosing wisely at quarterback will go a long way to how wise his choice of a new head coach will be.

Weekend ratings predictions: NFL conference championships, NBA and more

Leave a reply

AFC championship game: Steelers-Patriots (6:30 p.m. Sunday, CBS). The late conference championship window has been a subpar draw the past two years, earning a 24.1 rating last year (Cardinals-Panthers) and a 22.5 in 2015 (Colts-Patriots) the two lowest ratings in the window since 2009. This Cheap Dolphins Jerseys year’s Steelers-Patriots matchup should blow past those relatively low numbers. Whether it will do well enough to match last year’s Patriots-Broncos AFC title game, which had a 29.3 rating in the afternoon window, is another story. Prediction: 27.7.

John Elway hired his former backup QB buddy because he had full trust in him, and Kubiak led to the Broncos to a Super Bowl 50 win in his first season as coach. Although Joseph was plucked away from his defensive coordinator job with the Dolphins, he did his best resume-building as the Texans’ defensive backs coach from 2011-13, Kubiak’s final three seasons in Houston.

That also timed with the tenure of Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator. With Kubiak and Phillips being able to vouch for Joseph’s acumen and ability to relate with players, no other candidate could boast the same recommendation.

Joseph has coached defense as an assistant in either college or the NFL Cheap Dream Team Jerseys since 2002, but he was a backup quarterback and running back in college before being converted to defensive back in the NFL, where he played from 1995 to ’96.

Seattle finished 7-1 this season at home, where it also plays better overall offense. Neither Russell Wilson nor Matthew Stafford can ask for much help from their running games, so its about making tough pass plays downfield in their one-dimensional attacks.

Stain of quitting Bills doesn’t stick as much now for Doug Marrone

Leave a reply

Feeling zero enthusiasm about Doug Marrone taking over as the Jaguars’ coach is completely understandable. Even Jaguars followers are refraining from rushing to the ticket windows over that.

But Bills fans have to be looking side-eyed at this, hoping for their own sanity that, in fact, Marrone does flop.

If he doesnt if he nudges the Jaguars toward even a little bit of success and fulfill a portion of their potential Bills fans will suffer the most.

He just worked under former Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase in Miami and saw what it took to fix an athletic quarterback and light a fire under the power running game. Those are two big priorities for Denver in the offseason.

Joseph grew up in Louisiana, but his football heart already belongs in Colorado. He played for the Buffaloes and got two of his first coaching gigs there. He has done a lot of hard work over seven stops to graduate from Boulder to Denver.

Running backs coach Eric Studesville took over on a interim basis after Josh McDaniels was fired during the 2010 season, leading the team to a 1-3 finish. Joseph is now the sixth full-time African-American head coach currently in the NFL, joining Marvin Lewis, Mike Tomlin, Jim Caldwell, Todd Bowles and Hue Jackson.

Lewis’ steady demeanor has allowed him Cheap Authentic NBA Jerseys to last with the Bengals as the longest-tenured NFL coach after Bill Belichick. Singletary had only a few seasons to Cheap College Basketball Jerseys prove himself with the 49ers, but Joseph also learned a lot about player-coach relationships from one of the greatest linebackers of all time.

I want to especially thank the incredibly loyal Jets fans

In fact, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst sent a letter to each NFL team vouching for Clement.

“Corey was great this year! He was terrific as a player, as a teammate, and as an individual,” Chryst wrote. “Corey cared more about this team than he did his future as an individual prospect in the NFL. He was unselfish, a diligent worker, and kept getting better and better as the year progressed. As a staff, we thought Corey was a big factor in the success we had as a team this year.

“I can highly recommend with confidence Corey Clement.”

Clement is also cognizant of the reputation Badgers running backs have since 1999 Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne did not pan out after the Giants selected him 11th overall in the 2000 draft. After Dayne came a series of Wisconsin backs — Michael Bennett, John Clay, Brian Calhoun, Anthony Davis, Montee Ball — who struggled to find sustained success in the NFL.

It’s easy to remember, yet still hard to believe, that a year ago the Vikings were coming off an 11-win season, a division title and the knowledge that they really should have reached the second round of the playoffs. (But they didn’t, thanks to Blair Walsh, now their ex-kicker.)

Now they’re trying to figure out how to flip last season’s mess — not even relative mess, a genuine mess — into something closer to what they had last spring. They hit this offseason as an 8-8 team that had started out 5-0, which makes that final record feel far worse.

I want to especially thank the incredibly loyal Jets fans, who were always there for us with their never-ending support. I’m sorry……I’m sorry we couldn’t bring you a championship, but I wish you and my former organization the very best in your pursuit for one in the future. I’m looking Cheap Michael Jordan Jerseys forward Cheap Lebron Jerseys to finding a great organization where I can contribute and bring home a championship. I know I have a lot left to give, and @michi_marshall and I will truly miss the Jets, but we are excited for what lies ahead.

Ex-Cowboys back Joseph Randle charged after alleged assault of inmate

Leave a reply

Former Cowboys running back Joseph Randle added a fifth criminal charge against him with his alleged assault of a fellow inmate, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Randle was charged Wednesday with one count of aggravated battery and one count of disorderly conduct stemming from an incident Friday in the Sedgwick County (Kan.) Jail, where Randle has been held since June 19. According to him, however, he was the one who was punched, and he was simply running away from danger.

The Falcons probably don’t want to open the season in Foxborough, where Tom Brady will be celebrated for his fifth ring after he led the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, turning a 28-3 hole into a 34-28 overtime victory.

But because the Falcons are not a big TV ratings draw, they need to play the Patriots to get showcased in a game everyone will watch.

The rematch will have much less at stake, and it’s doubtful any game can come close to matching the instant classic status of what happened in Houston. But you can bet the NFL wants to use that as the marketing tool, hoping Matt Ryan and Brady can provide another thrilling duel.

The Falcons will need a long time to recover from the worst Cheap Jordan Jerseys China Super Bowl hangover anyone has ever faced. Just when they might be recovered, they’ll be Cheap Kings Jerseys reminded of their collapse in a House of Pain called Gillette Stadium.

Happy Patriots fan breaks leg while celebrating Super Bowl win

Leave a reply

The Patriots’ historic comeback win in Super Bowl LI turned painful for one fan.

While celebrating the unbelievable win, the fan jumped for joy and hit a nearby table — fracturing his leg.

They still cling tight to their singular distinction: the only team in 50 years of the Super Bowl era to make it through the entire season without losing a game. Amazingly, they actually came close to falling six times, winning by a single score in each of their three postseason games. They had to come from behind twice in the AFC Championship game at Pittsburgh, and in the Super Bowl they had to fight off a late Washington rally after grabbing a 14-0 halftime lead. MVP Jake Scott intercepted a pass in the end zone and returned it into opposing territory. That didn’t end the game, but all Washington had after that play was desperation. When it was over, the Dolphins had perfection.

The Steel Curtain was starting to droop by the time the 70s were nearing a close. Ernie Holmes had been gone several years and Dwight White, L.C. Greenwood and Joe Greene were within two years of retirement. Although there were six regular-season games in which opponents scored seven or fewer points, by the playoffs — and especially the Super Bowl — the D needed assistance from what had become an elite offense. John Stallworth and Lynn Swann were never better as a combination; Terry Bradshaw passed for a career high in Cheap Jerseys Website yardage. Bradshaw’s two bombs to Stallworth in the Super Bowl gave them all one last Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys ring.

Roger Goodell ‘really bothered’ by Matt Patricia’s clown shirt, report says

Leave a reply

The Patriots have been at a silent war against Roger Goodell in wake of the Deflategate saga, but Matt Patricia’s t-shirt jab apparently hurt the NFL commissioner’s feelings.

“We can be talked about how they talked about us in Seattle,” Maxwell said, via the Palm Beach Post. “We’ve just got to find a nickname.

“We’ve got to run with it. But we’ve got to put it on the field first. We definitely have the making of something — we can be something great.”

While duplicating the Seahawks’ dominating Legion of Boom seems far-fetched, the Dolphins could come close if they can avoid falling victim to the injury plague after a number of key defensive backs got hurt last season.

After missing the team’s final three games, Maxwell anticipates being back in action for offseason workouts. He’s expected to be joined by fellow corner Xavien Howard and safeties Reshad Jones and Isa Abdul-Quddus. Jones and Abdul-Quddus ended the season on injured reserve.

Seattle’s defense entered Super Bowl 49 ranked first in the NFL in Cheap Jerseys Throwback yards Cheap Jerseys Soccer China allowed (267.1 per game), points (15.9 per game) and pass defense (185.6 per game). The greatest strength of Seattle’s dominant squad, the “Legion of Boom,” featured three Pro Bowl-caliber players in Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas. How did Brady fare against that?

Roddy White claims Charles Barkley lost $100K betting on Falcons

Leave a reply

Charles Barkley reportedly lost a lot of cash on the Falcons’ loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl 51.

How much cash? Approximately $100,000, according to Roddy White.

The former Falcons wide receiver was a recent guest on the “We Never Played the Game” podcast with Jeff Schultz and Zach Klein, and spoke about how painful it was for him to watch Atlanta blow a 25-point lead in the game.

“It’s very sad to me that someone would do something like this, and it’s like taking a great Chagall or Picasso or something,” Robert Kraft said Monday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria.”

“You can never display it [if you took it]. And somehow, I feel there’ll be some news that’ll clear this up in the not-too-distant future. … I hope it’ll be cleared up soon. I think that a lot of people spent a lot of time looking into the matter and what happened, and I’d rather not say anything Cheap Jarome Iginla Jerseys that would cause any problems in the work that’s been done.”

Some ridiculous valuations have come in around $500,000, but it’s an Cheap Jerseys And Hats From China interesting stretch for Kraft to compare the stolen jersey to some of history’s most priceless works.

Either way, Kraft is determined to see the stolen uniform returned to Boston.

“One way or another that jersey will be back,” he said.

Former Bears, Bengals RB Cedric Benson blames NFL for not knowing alphabet

Leave a reply

Former fourth overall pick Cedric Benson was pulled over this past weekend for a DUI, according to several reports.

According to The Associated Press, the Steelers assistant coach on Tuesday was fined $300 after pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct citation stemming from a January incident with Cheap Goalie Jerseys a bar bouncer and police officer outside a Pittsburgh bar.

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police also posted two videos of the incident on Facebook, which showed the altercation at different angles.

Following the Steelers’ playoff win over the Dolphins, Porter lifted a doorman off the ground then got into a physical scuffle with the officer before being arrested on charges of assault, resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct.

The charges later were reduced, and the Steelers placed him on an indefinite leave, though he was absent less than a week.

Porter could face league discipline for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, though a punishment typically isn’t handed down until a case has run its course in court.

Eason is the only starting quarterback in Super Bowl history who failed to complete a pass in the big game. He had a miserable outing against the daunting ‘85 Bears, who sacked him three times for a loss of 28 yards and caused him to fumble. He was only on the field for six offensive possessions (15 plays total), which resulted in four three-and-outs and two turnovers.

The Pats benched him midway through the second quarter for Steve Grogan, who finished the game completing 17 of 30 passes for 177 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
