Ranking Every NFL Team’s Quarterback Situation Heading into 2018 Season

Posted on May 31, 2018 by admin

No position in the NFL can make or break a season quite like the quarterback.

A team with a great starter and some injury luck is likely a playoff contender. Lose a great starter and have nothing behind him, and that playoff season can go up in smoke in a hurry. Any kind of deficiency at the position is almost always the beginning of the end in the NFL.聽

Unless McCarron or Peterman find a way to steady the ship, or Allen impresses early, expect Buffalo to have a tumultuous year at quarterback in 2018.聽

Jacksonville’s ranking here is a testament to how dominant the rest of the roster was around the quarterback position during the Jaguars’ run to the AFC title game last season.聽

There really isn’t much to like about the quarterback depth chart. Bortles received a contract extension this offseason despite throwing 29 interceptions and posting an 81.5 passer rating over the last two seasons. He has one season of competent quarterback play in four years in Jacksonville and can now be safely labeled one of the NFL’s worst starters. The Jaguars don’t ask Bortles to do much because they’ve learned he’s not capable of much.聽

The Womens Kelly Olynyk Jersey backups are equally uninspiring. Kessler flashed some ability over 12 games and eight starts with the Browns over the last two years, but he looks like nothing more than a career backup. Lee is a sixth-round pick who many believed would go undrafted last month. He was plagued by turnovers and accuracy issues at Nebraska, and those issues don’t go away in the NFL.聽

Limited Kids Michael Saunders Jersey Browns cornerback Denzel Ward, the first defensive player selected in 2018, is trying to succeed last year’s winner, the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore, as both a cornerback and an Ohio State product. But Ward is not among the best bets for defensive rookie of the year this season. Also, considering 11 consecutive first-rounders have won the award, there’s no need to look beyond the 15 defensive players taken in the top 32.

Here are the top five candidates to win defensive rookie of the year in 2018, including the notable college defensive end picked right after Ward.

Rangers GM Jon Daniels not blaming coaching staff for struggles

Posted on May 29, 2018 by admin

As the Texas Rangers continue to fall off the pace in the American League West, president and general manager Jon Daniels isn’t looking to place the blame on his coaching staff.

With the MLB draft (June 4) and the trade deadline (July 31) looming, Daniels is looking at rebuilding the team’s depth at the minor league level.

You are always looking to get better, Daniels said. “Obviously, we are not in a great spot in the standings, That will influence things. You try and take a step back and look at things for this year, next year and the foreseeable future, where you want to be and what is the best way to get there.”

Still, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he believes Gregorius hasn’t been as bad as the numbers have shown and that he’s not far from busting out.

I think if you look back at a lot of our games of late, there’s been two or three times in a game where he’s really stung the ball, Boone said before the Yankees and Nationals were rained out for the second straight day at Nationals Park on Wednesday.

He added, While I know he’s going through a tough stretch right now, I certainly don’t believe it’s as bad as the not-getting-hits because I do feel like there’s been a fair amount of good contact in there.

One good beating per series is plenty for Draymond Green and Golden State.

The Warriors got it in Game 2 at Houston, and now the defending champions plan to do what they seem to do best: bounce back with brilliance.

As the Western Conference finals showdown shifts to Oracle Arena for Sunday’s Game 3, tied at one game apiece, the Warriors have spent the past few days discussing their Game 2 troubles –a 127-105 loss and what they’re striving to do in order not to be dominated again.

It’s time to play.

“I think we’re at our best when we feel threatened,” Green said Saturday. “Game 1 we felt threatened, we came out with a sense of urgency. Game 2 we maybe didn’t feel as threatened and the sense of urgency wasn’t there. I think you’re allowed one of those a series. We’ve had our one, now it’s time to lock in for the remainder of the series.” ravens_080

Police apologize, release video of arrest, tasing of Bucks’ Sterling Brown

Posted on May 25, 2018 by admin

The Milwaukee Police Department apologized Wednesday and said officers who acted inappropriately have been disciplined after an internal investigation over an incident in which a stun gun was used on Milwaukee Bucks rookie Sterling Brown after he was questioned over a potential parking violation in January.

Body camera video of the incident was released by the police shortly after Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales’ news conference. Criminal charges against Brown were not pursued, Morales said in a statement that was read to gathered media.

Iguodala received treatment to the knee Monday night and again Tuesday morning. His status for Game 4 will depend on his ability to tolerate the pain in his knee, which remains sore.

The Warriors will make a final call before the game. If he plays, Iguodala would likely wear a padded sleeve to protect against further injury.

Iguodala is averaging 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists through three games of the series. He has played a little more than 27 minutes per game.

J.J. Watt appreciated these young fans wearing his and Kealia Ohai’s jerseys as much as you will

Posted on May 23, 2018 by admin

Houston Dash star Kealia Ohai and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt are a fairly low-key couple, despite their high-profile professions. But during Saturday’s Dash-Utah Royals FC game, Watt couldn’t help but enjoy a little attention.

Attending the game to cheer on his girlfriend, Watt noticed two adorable young fans wearing his and Ohai’s jerseys. He was so touched by the sight, he was determined to meet them. So after the game, Watt and Ohai hung out with their young fans, and it’s pretty much the cutest thing ever:

The more relevant reunion was the return of Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire to Minnesota, where he managed the Twins for 13 seasons. This was the first game between the division rivals since Gardenhire was hired by Detroit, but the Tigers dropped their fourth straight game. They have only 13 runs in their last six games.
Billy Turner Youth Jersey
Jack Mewhort Authentic Jersey Three hits, three errors and Matt Kemp getting thrown out diving back into first base to end the game added up Sam Vigneault Jersey to a 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

It was a kind of cool ending to the game, Rockies catcher Tony Wolters said.

The Dodgers returned home after sweeping three games against Washington. But they fell to 8-14 in Los Angeles after having the best home record in the majors last season.

We didn’t get any offense, manager Dave Roberts said.

Pinch-hitter Carlos Gonzalez drove in the go-ahead run with an infield single in the eighth inning, German Marquez pitched seven innings of two-hit ball and Gerardo Parra homered for the Rockies, who moved into first place in the NL West ahead of slumping Arizona. Colorado has won five in a row at Dodger Stadium.

NFL franchises are enormously valuable, said Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College. If you gave me a choice, would I rather own a mid-table Major League Baseball team, a mid-table NBA team, a mid-table NHL team or a mid-table NFL team, I wouldn’t hesitate. I’d take the NFL team.

It’s not hard to see why.

Rookie season projections for Giants draft picks

Posted on May 21, 2018 by admin

Flowers could face an uphill battle to even make the roster, after the Giants signed left tackle Nate Solder during free agency which forces the 2014 first-round pick to learn a new position and move to right tackle.

It’s not about words, Diehl told NJ Advance Media Monday at the fourth annual fourth annual Clara Maas Medical Center Golf tournament, which Diehl hosts at Montclair Golf Club.聽It’s about actions. He’s obviously held out. He didn’t come to the other workouts, and we know that they’re voluntary, but at the same time, when they’re coming off of a 3-13 season and they now have a new general manager and new head coach, he needs to be there.

Limited Kids Greg Luzinski Jersey Half of football, and really it’s 100 percent of football, is about accountability. It’s about being able to know that the guy sitting next to you is going to be fighting, scratching, and clawing. Authentic Jordan Oesterle Jersey Just like you’re doing for him. That’s what wins games in the fourth quarter. That’s how you convert 4th and 1s. For Ereck, coming off of the season that they had, with a lot of criticism, and all of the attention that he’s going to get after not showing up until today, it’s not about what you say. It’s about what you do.

Regardless of his position, Fitzpatrick is NFL-ready and should thrive right away. He is good in man coverage, diagnoses plays well, tracks the ball with ease and is a willing hitter in the open field or in the box.

Last season, Fitzpatrick had 38 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, eight passes defended and an interception.

Joe Flacco Reportedly Hasn’t Returned Any of Lamar Jackson’s Calls or Texts

Posted on May 19, 2018 by admin

Quarterbacks are supposed to be the leader of their rosters, but apparently that rule doesn’t abide for AFC North signal callers.

After Big Ben publicly displayed his negative thoughts toward Pittsburgh drafting Mason Rudolph, many bashed him for not wanting to mentor the third-round selection. Well, that same group should have a fun time discussing Joe Flacco’s latest actions, as he’s also showing displeasure with the Ravens’ selection of a young quarterback.

It’s being reported that Flacco hasn’t returned any of Lamar Jackson’s calls or texts since he was taken with the 32nd overall pick.

I think they’re doing a good job, Shurmur said of the young receivers at large. We’ll just have to find out as we go, but we’ve added some guys to the mix.

One possible alternative is for the Giants to use two tight ends more than in the past, with Evan Engram playing to his strengths as a big slot receiver.

Oh, and to be clear, Lauletta also has a chance to make a lot of people look really, really dumb, and I’ll be standing at the front of the line. Gettleman resisted the loud and persistent calls for him to use that high pick to take a quarterback because he believes in Eli Manning and trusted his scout department’s ability to find his replacement somewhere else.

Is Lauletta that guy?

He is still far closer to a lottery ticket than a sure thing as he showed up for his first rookie mini-camp on Friday morning. For every fourth-round success stories like Cowboys starter Dak Prescott in recent NFL Draft history, there are far more misses.

Lauletta might be the next Kirk Cousins. He also might be the next Ryan Nassib, or Bryce Petty, or Stephen McGee, or Stefan LeFors, or Tyler Wilson, or Matt Barkley, oryou get the picture.

I don’t know, he said when asked if he was the future which, frankly, is an impossible question for anyone to answer. If he says yes, he looks like a jerk. If he says no, he looks like a bigger jerk. colts_093

Eagles talk up 2nd-round draft pick Dallas Goedert

Posted on May 18, 2018 by admin

Former Ravens defensive end Courtney Upshaw, per ESPN’s Field Yates, visited with the Eagles on Tuesday. Upshaw spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Eagles also hosted Ravens running back Terrance West for a visit to the team’s NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia, too.

Both West and Upshaw are free agents and would make sense as late off-season additions for the Eagles, especially Upshaw.

This leads us to think maybe there’s more to it, such as wanting new contract. A few weeks ago it was reported by NFL Media that Brady would like a new deal before the season starts, so maybe not attending the workouts like usual is a sign he really wants it.

And after what happened last week with Matt Ryan, Brady may want a new deal even more.
Olli Maatta Womens Jersey
Ryan reportedly agreed to a five-year, $150 million contract extension with the Falcons, which includes $100 million guaranteed. The new deal made him the NFL’s first player to agree to a contract worth $30 million a year.

There are no more surprises anymore in the draft, Manning told Paul Schwartz of the New York Post on Monday. That’s just part of the business. Not surprised, I guess.

The New York Giants used a fourth-round pick on Kyle Lauletta, who will have a chance to eventually take over for Manning as the starting quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers took Mason Rudolph one round earlier with a similar line of thinking.

Manning and Roethlisberger both entered the league as first-round picks in 2004 and have spent their entire careers with one organization. Both own a pair of Super Bowl rings Dawuane Smoot Youth jersey and both are in the latter stages of their careers.

Vegas isn’t buying a quick Bears turnaround

Posted on May 16, 2018 by admin

Fozzy Whittaker Authentic Jersey
In Chicago, as in many NFL cities, the offseason brings hope, plausible or otherwise. And this year, the hope is more plausible than it’s been, as the Bears beef up their defense and add weapons for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

Las Vegas isn’t buying what the Bears are selling. The Bovada odds as to the chances of winning the NFC championship have the Bears tied for the bottom, at 40-1. (The Cardinals, also at 40-1, remain who we thought they were.)

It takes only one suitor to drive the bidding higher, and foist uncomfortable decisions on New Orleans. Such a team might venture into four- or five-year territory on a sub-max salary in the range of $20-25 million per season, and perhaps even build in injury-related protections similar to those in Joel Embiid’s new extension. Even retaining Cousins at that price takes New Orleans right up against the projected tax. They might have to sacrifice yet another draft pick to dump money and slip under it.

These are hard choices. No one can know with any certainty how Cousins will perform two, three and four seasons from now. But the closer the bidding gets to max money and max years, the more comfortable the Pelicans should be walking away. There is a line in the sand somewhere — maybe even before any fully guaranteed four-year deal in a realistic salary range. The Pelicans have to hope the bidding doesn’t get so frothy, and that they can thread a vary narrow needle.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s early impression, after three days of non-contact work in a rookie minincamp, is Griffin fits the weakside.

He looked very comfortable, very natural, Carroll said Sunday, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. He has a sense already for scheme and terminology. The position is the right spot for him, it looks like. We can be aggressive and use his speed. He’s already shown some sense in the passing game. and he had a couple really good plays adjusting to zone coverage and man coverage and things we’ve already Bill Bates Womens Jersey seen. So those were good things to take away. And we can’t really get a feel at all for special teams but we know that that’s going to be a factor so we’re excited about that.

Ben wonders which of his backups will get fired

Posted on May 14, 2018 by admin

From time to time, Ben Roethlisberger makes news when doing interviews on Pittsburgh鈥檚 93.7 The Fan. And it鈥檚 the kind of news that often makes us wonder why he continues to do it.

Said Roethlisberger, who interjected a yeah, I know as the question was being asked: [Dobbs] and Landry [Jones] were the two guys I鈥檝e spoken to the most. I鈥檒l be honest, I wasn鈥檛 worried about someone taking my job. I feel confident that I can go out and beat whoever I need to beat out for my job, that鈥檚 just the confidence I have in myself. And I just got back to those guys. . . . I don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 gonna happen. I assume Landry鈥檚 still the [No.] 2. I don鈥檛 really know. And Josh, same thing, last year he was taken in the fourth round. So does that mean the like Steelers screwed up in that pick? Like, do they think he wasn鈥檛 the one that they thought? Or has he not developed the way they thought? Why else would you take a quarterback in the third round the next year?

Among the things the Seahawks were working on Jahri Evans Jersey during their rookie minicamp this weekend was an experiment, as they鈥檙e moving fifth-round pick Tre Flowers from safety to cornerback.
Elite Womens Corey Lemonier Jersey
He hasn鈥檛 played cornerback since high school, but has the size (6-foot-3, with 35-inch arms) they like at the position. That required coach Pete Carroll to invest plenty of time in Flowers over the weekend, to work of techniques he鈥檚 never really used.
Elite Womens Dennis Rodman Jersey
It鈥檚 believing in the discipline it takes to do it, and really finding that patience it takes to sit on the line of scrimmage and not be jittery and all of that, Carroll said, via Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. Guys think that they are supposed to go up there and beat the heck out of wide receivers and that鈥檚 what they think bump-and-run is. There is so much more to it than that. It鈥檚 the discipline it takes over time to develop the patience is really what the challenge is, if they are equipped.

As the series shifts back to Toronto, Wall said that Drake said the Raptors would sweep the Wizards and that he was supposed to come to D.C. to attend Game 3 but never showed. Game 5 is Wednesday, and we can’t wait.

Dwyane Wade turned back the clock in the Miami Heat’s Game 2 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring 28 points, the most he had put up in a playoff game since 2016. During his postgame interview, Wade credited actor/comedian Kevin Hart, who was courtside cheering on his hometown Sixers, for motivating him.

C.J. Cron (R), 4.7 percent, Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers (LHP Cole Hamels): Rays bats will hardly draw much attention this season, but Cron could be worth frequent rentals against southpaws, whom he’s already tagged for two homers this season and a .267 ISO last season.

Sean Rodriguez (R), less than 1 percent, Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Colorado Rockies (LHP Kyle Freeland): Rodriguez will probably grab a start against the lefty — his usual role, considering his career .334 wOBA off them, compared to .279 off righties. Josh Harrison’s hand fracture could create a keystone platoon with Rodriguez occupying the short side and Adam Frazier facing righties, though Corey Dickerson is hardly a lock to man left field against southpaws, which could open up another path to playing time.

What shape is his jumper in now? And how is it affecting the rest of his game? As the Sixers bid for a 2-0 series lead over the Miami Heat and a deep playoff run, let’s dive into the impact Fultz can make.

While he has been a major contributor to a variety of wins, Fultz has attempted just one 3-pointer and 13 free throws (seven makes) since returning, shooting 42.5 percent from inside the arc. His jumper is a far cry from his Washington “hesi pull-up jimbo” form, as he showed against the Heat with an airballed pull-up and several turned-down, catch-and-shoot or off-the-dribble jumpers.

Fultz’s lack of confidence in his 3-ball is clear when teams go under screens or give him space, though he’s making incremental strides in midrange spots. He rarely looks at the rim in such situations, opting to spin into the paint or get off the ball. It’s unlikely Fultz will rediscover his pull-up 3 during a high-intensity playoff run, so expect him to continue getting the Sixers into their sets or relying on midrange pull-ups and dashes to the rim before addressing the issue in the offseason.
