Is that love justified? For the interior defensive linemen Womens Brandon Brooks Jersey , there surely isn’t a lack of top end talent. This could help push down other excellent interior prospects throughout the draft. The depth of the class isn’t what I thought it would be, but there’s a good mix of specialists once you get past the obvious headliners.I’ve finished preliminary grading on the top of the class and present to you, gentle reader, my pre-Combine rankings.Important Context You’ve Already Scrolled Past:Height/weight listings are from (probably unreliable) school listings unless otherwise noted.Players listed have at least 3 games of film study done.Final Grade results from a formula that takes into account universal factors (play strength, mental processing, etc.) and position-specific traits (use of hands, first step explosiveness, pass rush ability, etc.)Grading not final. More film may be required & athleticism score includes elements of athletic testing.1. QUINNEN WILLIAMS – Alabama (6’4”, 295)My top ranked player in the entire class, Williams is a slam dunk lock to be off the board in lightning speed. In his first full season as a starter, he racked up 8 sacks and 19.5 tackles for a loss. That’s tremendous production for an interior defensive lineman.Williams has the first step, heavy hands, flexibility, motor and a full toolbox of pass rush moves that teams will covet. His games against LSU and Ole Miss were two of the best films I’ve seen from any player this year. You won’t find an easier evaluation in this years’ class.Summary: Immediate impact starter. Run to the podium.Grade: 85.7 (Early 1st Round)2. ED OLIVER – Houston (6’3” Womens Ronald Darby Jersey , 292)Oliver received a ton of hype coming into the season, but he failed to move the needle further in 2018. The 2017 film looks very similar, which is where the problem lies. Well, not really a problem, as he’s still an incredible prospect. Still, Oliver failed to develop counters and improve on his hand usage while being embroiled in a weird situation with his coaching staff.There are also some concerns over Oliver’s size and some teams have reportedly considered moving him to linebacker. That listing of 292 pounds feels like a big fat lie, but I’m not as concerned as others. If teaching a potentially dominant 3-tech to be a linebacker seems foolish, it’s because it probably is. Besides, if you’re interested in rewiring Oliver’s brain to read runs from an off-ball alignment and teach him how coverage works, you probably won’t value him high enough to draft him anyway.Oliver is a 3-tech, plain and simple. He may need to add 10 pounds to be effective from that alignment in the NFL, but he’s likely only a loaf of bread a day away from reaching that mark. All that aside, Oliver remains a disruptive force with crazy athleticism for his size. A potential move to linebacker wouldn’t even be discussed if he wasn’t a freak on the move. He’ll have issues with play strength against gap schemes, but more times than not he’s going to beat you with his explosiveness and flexibility. Top tier prospect.Summary: Immediate starter at 3-tech and instant upgrade to pass rush.Grade: 81.0 (Early/Mid 1st Round)3. JEFFERY SIMMONS – Mississippi State (6’4”, 310)Love the player Womens Mike Wallace Jersey , hate the backstory. It’s going to be a challenge for teams to balance those two aspects. On one hand you have a monster of a man that is a force against the run and pass. On the other, do you want to make the face of your draft haul a player that pleaded “no contest” to simple assault on a woman?On the field, Simmons has a red hot motor with the range to consistently make plays outside of the core of the formation. His length and get off allow him to secure his gap early in the rep and his 18 tackles for a loss in 2018 speak to those qualities.Simmons’ polish as a pass rusher is always on display, which is a heavily weighted factor in my grading formula. He’s going to provide a solid interior push along with clean wins in passing situations.Summary: Immediate, 3-down starter. Background flag.Grade: 80.3 (Early/Mid 1st Round)4. CHRISTIAN WILKINS – Clemson (6’4”, 315)Wilkins just gets after it. Whatever he lacks in length, he more than makes up for with high quality traits. He understands how to use his hands and read his keys while possessing good balance and flexibility. He also has better movement skills than you would expect from a man his size. A dog in pursuit, Wilkins is a playmaker whether being run at or away from.Wilkins works from snap-to-whistle and will refuse to stay blocked in passing situations. Does a great job leveraging himself into a position to disengage and brings the requisite juice needed to be productive in the NFL. You’ll see his name linked to the Eagles a ton as we work through the pre-draft process.Summary: Immediate starter from multiple inside alignments. 3-down player.Grade: 74.6 (Early 2nd Round)5. DRE’MONT JONES – Ohio State (6’3”, 286)If Jones had better discipline with his pad level he’d be a first round prospect. Freeze frame him at the first step after the snap and too often he’s the highest player off the ball. This is going to lead to him getting washed out of plays when a lower pad level would’ve given him a fighting chance.With that out of the way, let’s talk about why I still value Jones so highly. First off, dude can boogie. We’re talking fantastic quickness and bend around the arc from the interior, which should show up in his Combine numbers. 13 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks in 2018 point to his disruptive ability.You’ll be able to move him around in passing situations, which plays well into what the Eagles like to do with their front four. Jones may start his career as a situational pass rusher until he adds bulk and gains polish, but defensive line coaches should be salivating over his skill set.Summary: Situational pass rusher with future 3-down starter potential.Grade: 69.6 (Late 2nd Round)Rounding Out the Group鈥exas’ Charles Omenihu is a player a value highly that is going to require more vetting on my end. There’s a very good chance he ends up grading higher than Dre’Mont Jones, but more tape study is needed. The first two games I watched of him were against fast paced offenses in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/malcolm-jenkins-jersey , which made the entire defense gas out quick. Is it a cause for concern? Probably not, as Omenihu has showed much better in the other games I’ve viewed. Tough evaluation, but a very good player regardless.Michigan’s Rashan Gary is a frustrating evaluation that will likely test well and go high, but is he an interior defensive lineman? I think he’s a strong side defensive end that you’ll need to kick inside for passing downs. I currently have a second round grade on Gary. His lack of consistency, sputtering motor, and lack of a plan as a pass rusher are to prevalent on film for me to feel comfortable selecting him in the first round.The Combine will be important for Notre Dame’s Jerry Tillery, who has some stiffness to his lower body that’s accentuated by pad level issues. 7 sacks in 2018 is hard to ignore and right now providing an interior push will be his early path to success while the rest of his game develops. Risky boom-bust prospect. Fit with the right coaching staff will be key.Clemson’s Dexter Lawrence keeps getting mocked in the first round, and to the Eagles as well, but I don’t see the appeal. I left his summer evaluation of 2017 film underwhelmed, but gave him the benefit of the doubt due to a foot injury. In 2018 I saw more of the same. He’s going to be a fantastic run defender, but I have serious questions about his ability to stay on the field in passing situations. How much value you place on run defense will dictate how much you value Lawrence. My grading system has more of an emphasis on rushing the passer, which pushes him down the board.Arizona State’s Renell Wren takes care of his gap, which is nice, but that’s about it. Too many plays he’s in position to make go right around him. There’s still enough there to like as a reliable run defender, if you’re into that kind of thing. I kind of am Youth Sidney Jones Jersey , but mainly in the Day 3 range.Texas A&M’s Daylon Mack impressed during Shrine Week, which earned him a meeting with the Eagles. He was then bumped up to the Senior Bowl where he continued to have a solid pre-draft process.More film study needed on Alabama’s Isaiah Buggs and Miami’s Gerald Willis but early returns indicate they would not threaten the top 5 of the group. LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Nick Foles‘ magic stretched all the way back to Minnesota.Foles did it again, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 24-0 victory over the Redskins and the defending Super Bowl champions earned the NFC's final wild-card berth when Chicago beat the Vikings on Sunday.The Eagles (9-7) will play at the Bears (12-4) next weekend. "We're not sneaking in. We're here to do some damage," Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said.They might have to do it without Foles, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a chest injury. Foles said he's sore near his ribs and will know more Monday."I'm optimistic," Foles said.Before he gave way to Nate Sudfeld, Foles tied Philip Rivers‘ NFL record by completing 25 straight passes and threw two touchdown passes. Sudfeld fired a 22-yard TD on his only pass.It felt like a home game for the Eagles. Philadelphia fans filled FedEx Field, sang "Fly! Eagles! Fly!" and chanted "Let's Go Bears!" There were several thousand empty seats and Redskins fans could only cheer for the Vikings to spite Eagles fans."I looked away," Foles said about seeing the Bears-Vikings score on the scoreboard. "I didn't want to know. I wanted to stay focused on winning this game."Some players noticed the score while others didn't. They watched the final minutes together in the locker room and then celebrated."It was exciting," Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. "A lot of hard work that just paid off. It's what we set out to do. Obviously on this journey we didn't meet a lot of our goals, but one of them is to get into the postseason and we were able to do that, and so we're excited."Foles, the Super Bowl MVP in Philadelphia's win over New England last February, is 6-0 in must-win games filling in for Carson Wentz.Foles stepped in after Wentz was sidelined by a back injury earlier this month and guided Philadelphia to an upset on the road against the Rams as a 13 1/2-point underdog. He set a franchise record for yards passing in a game with 471 in a 32-30 comeback win last week against Houston.The Eagles dominated the Redskins Youth Cameron Johnston Jersey , controlling the ball for 43:19. Philadelphia's defense held Washington to only 89 yards total offense.The Redskins (7-9) lost six of seven after leading the NFC East at 6-3."It just wasn't a good enough year for us," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. "Hopefully we'll regain that (fan) support sometime soon, very soon. Until then, we have a lot of work to do."Foles finished 28 of 33 for 221 yards, two TDs and one interception.He tossed a 2-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery to cap a 19-play, 87-yard drive that took 11:49 in the second quarter, giving Philadelphia a 10-0 lead. Foles was 10 of 10 on the drive and the Eagles converted three times on third downs and once on fourth-and-1.Foles connected with Nelson Agholor on a 6-yard pass to make it 17-0 late in the third quarter. On the previous play, Foles had a chance to break the completion record but misfired on a pass to Agholor.Sudfeld hit Agholor on a catch-and-run TD to extend the lead to 24-0 in the fourth.Josh Johnson, making his third start for the Redskins after Alex Smith and Colt McCoy sustained season-ending injuries and Mark Sanchez was ineffective, was 12 of 27 for 91 yards and one pick."They did what good teams do and took care of business," Johnson said.Rasul Douglas intercepted Johnson on the first play from scrimmage.SHUTOUTSThe Redskins hadn't been shut out since losing 24-0 to the Rams on Dec. 7, 2014. It was Philadelphia's first shutout since a 27-0 win over the Giants on Oct. 12, 2014.DRIVE TIMEThe nearly 12-minute drive by Philadelphia was the longest in the NFL since the Browns had a field-goal drive that lasted 12:01 against the Chiefs in 2015. The 19 plays were the most in a drive against Washington since 1999.GETTING TRICKYRedskins punter Tress Way threw a 7-yard pass to Jehu Chesson on a fake punt on fourth-and-2, but Johnson followed with three straight incomplete passes and Way had to punt.INJURIESRedskins: RG Tony Bergstrom left with a knee injury.Eagles: Foles will have tests on Monday.UP NEXTRedskins: Finished third in NFC East and missed the playoffs for the third straight season.Eagles: Play at Chicago in a wild-card game next weekend.

Bay Packers had a mixed debut.J'Mon Moore DaQuan Jones Jersey , Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown had their moments, but also showed room for improvement in the Green Bay Packers' 31-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night.Valdes-Scantling, a fifth-round pick from South Florida, had the best game of the three, catching five passes for 101 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown from No. 4 quarterback Tim Boyle.Brown, a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame, had four catches for 61 yards, including a slick 28-yard catch-and-run to help set up Valdes-Scantling's touchdown.Moore, a fourth-round pick from Missouri, had the toughest game of the three, catching three passes for 27 yards and dropping what would have likely been a long touchdown pass. Valdes-Scantling also dropped a pass."I thought they did a really good job getting off the line of scrimmage," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday."I thought their releases and attacking leverage http://www.titanscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-quinton-spain-jersey , the young guys, frankly, did better than some of the veterans (after watching) the video. But what do we do at the end of the route? Those are things that you just need live reps. Getting out of the cut, getting to the right breaking point, catching the ball."As has been the case throughout camp, the young receiver who stole the show was Jake Kumerow.He isn't a rookie. He's in his fourth training camp after two years on the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad and after spending time on the Packers' practice squad at the end of last season.Kumerow, who has drawn praise from star quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout camp, put an exclamation point on the game with a 52-yard touchdown catch from Boyle.But while the 26-year-old Kumerow came from Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater, he's had the advantage of NFL camp experience and has avoided the inconsistency the three rookie draft picks have exhibited.That inconsistency drew Rodgers' ire late in the week after a particularly sloppy practice on Tuesday that McCarthy called "our worst practice of the year."After that practice, Rodgers, who ran the scout-team offense because he wasn't going to play against the Titans, listed players who were doing things the right way, but left the three rookie receivers off that list.While he never mentioned them by name Cheap Derrick Henry Jersey , he left little doubt which players he was referring to for making repeated mistakes.Valdes-Scantling had a leaping 51-yard catch on a deep pass by DeShone Kizer in the third quarter. He also made a nice in-the-air adjustment to pull down Boyle's pass on the touchdown, which gave the Packers a 24-10 lead with under four minutes left."Definitely. That's our leader," Valdes-Scantling said when asked if he took Rodgers' criticism to heart. "You've got a Hall of Fame quarterback over there, and if he's telling you that you're not doing it right, you've got to change what you're doing. It's just that we've got to be pros all the time. Can't be pros for just three-fourths of practice, you've got to be it all the time. That was the only thing."Moore's biggest disappointment came in the second half, on a deep ball from Boyle on third-and-8 from the Green Bay 35-yard line. While Moore did a terrific job of getting open on the go-route, he dropped the ball at the Titans 29-yard line. Had he caught it, it likely would have been a 65-yard touchdown."I'm going to move forward for sure," Moore said. "But it's definitely going to put a fire up underneath me and definitely have me dig deeper." The Titans came out firing on Sunday afternoon, giving us some flashes of what could be with this offense under Matt LaFleur. We really haven’t seen much of it due to injuries up front and to Marcus Mariota. Early on, that changed today. Mariota is finally getting healthy and it showed. LaFleur dialed up multiple shots down the field to Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor. The connection wasn’t quite there, however. Mariota missed a wide open Davis Brett Kern Jersey , which should have been six, then Jonnu Smith had a key drop to stop the first drive. The Titans settled for three points to open the game.Mariota came back on the next drive with a good ball to Taylor down the middle of the field deep, but contact forced an incomplete pass. So early on, the Titans missed two opportunities to get into the endzone.After dominating much of the first half, Tennessee found themselves trailing. A deep strike to Jordan Matthews put the Eagles ahead midway through the second quarter. It was Malcolm Butler once again giving up the deep ball. With the seconds winding down in the first half, Mariota tossed a pick, giving the Eagles a shot to add to their lead. Luckily for the Titans, that was only three points. Philadelphia took a 10-3 lead into halftime.They immediately added to it coming out of the break. A long drive ended with an Alshon Jeffery touchdown, who reeled in a jump ball against LeShaun Sims. Sims was playing for Adoree’ Jackson, who exited the game during the previous play. It didn’t take Mariota long to strike back, however. An efficient drive brought the Titans right back into this one as Mariota scrambled into the endzone to bring it back to a seven point game. The Titans needed a big play defensively — and they got one. It was Harold Landry with the sack fumble, giving Tennessee another chance to close the gap. They were able to add another field goal, bringing the Eagles’ lead to 17-13. Nelson Agholor dropped a pass on third and six http://www.titanscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tajae-sharpe-jersey , forcing the Eagles to punt back to the Titans with eight minutes to play. A 51 yard Corey Davis catch followed that, setting the Titans up with a golden opportunity to take the lead. And they did just that. Mariota found Tajae Sharpe to go up 20-17 with just five minutes to play. It was a quick three and out for Carson Wentz, who failed to connect with Zach Ertz on third down. The Eagles punted once more, handing the Titans a chance to put this one on ice with 2:45 to play.A quick screen to Davis put the Titans in a third and three situation, but the Titans couldn’t convert on the following play. They went back to Davis on another screen, but didn’t get the blocking that they needed. Wentz got the ball inside Titans’ territory following a big time return on the punt. A screen to Jeffery got them inside of the redzone with just one minute to play. However, the defense held, forcing a fourth and three with 21 seconds to play. Jake Elliott split the sticks to tie things up, which sent us to overtime. The Eagles would get the ball to open. It was Jay Ajayi getting things rolling, picking up a first down off the bat. Wentz came back with a pass to Jeffery for another chunk, then it was Ajayi getting down into the redzone.The Titans bent, but didn’t break. Dean Pees’ group go the stop on third down, forcing another Elliott field goal. The Eagles now led 23-20 http://www.titanscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kenny-vaccaro-jersey , meaning the Titans had to answer on their next drive.Mariota delivered a bomb right on the money to Darius Jennings, who dropped it. That ball would have put the Titans in field goal range at least. Instead, the Titans were faced with a third and ten. Mariota threw incomplete to Davis, bringing up fourth and ten. A penalty made it fourth and 15. With the ballgame on the line, Mariota converted. It was Taywan Taylor on a 15 yard out, keeping the Titans alive. They were faced with another fourth down just minutes later, which they were able to convert with the help of a pass interference call. But a negative play on a pitch and a sack set up third and long. Mariota scrambled for 16 yards — enough for a Ryan Succop field goal attempt. Or so we thought. Vrabel changed his mind after an Eagles timeout and went for it. It was Dion Lewis catching a dump off and barreling down to the Eagles 15. Time became a factor now with just 20 seconds to go. Mariota fired two incompletions, setting up third down. But he found Corey Davis in the endzone on the next play. It was a floater that Davis snatched out of the sky to beat the defending Super Bowl champs. Final Score: Titans 26, Eagles 23

Five questions and answers with Bleeding Green Nation Brandon Gowton (@BrandonGowton) was nice enough to answer 5 questions for us about the upcoming match-up with the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. You can see his questions to me and my answers over at Bleeding Green Nation. Be sure to read the comments because everyone over there agrees 100% with me that the Titans are winning the AFC South #ornot.1 - How did Carson Wentz look in his debut last week? Is he all the way back?Relative to expectations Tennessee Titans T-Shirt , Carson Wentz looked pretty good. There were a lot of encouraging signs from his performance. He did not look limited in any capacity by the ACL/LCL injury he suffered last December. That’s not to say it was a perfect performance. He did look rusty at times. His interception came on a play when he started down Zach Ertz for too long. There were moments when the ball was probably coming out a little slower than it should have been. But it feels like those issues can be smoothed out with more practice reps and game action. The positive outweighed the negative last week and I think we’ll start to see Wentz ramping up closer to his 2017 form as the season progresses. I wouldn’t say he’s currently all the way back but he’s not far off and he’s on the right track to getting there. 2 - The Eagles have been really banged up the last couple of weeks. Can you give us a status update on guys like Alshon Jeffery, Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles?The Eagles were absolutely depleted at the skill player positions for their Week 3 game against the Colts. Philadelphia was missing their top two running backs and three of their top four wide receivers. Not ideal. The bad news for the Eagles is they might be without Ajayi and Sproles once again this week. Neither player practiced on Wednesday. Doug Pederson DID say he expects them to return to practice in some capacity this week, so we’ll see if that’s the case. Despite missing Ajayi and Sproles against Indy, the Eagles still managed to gain 142 rushing yards on 32 carries split between Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, and Josh Adams. So it’s not necessarily the end of the world if Ajayi and/or Sproles can’t play. The Eagles’ offensive line is good enough to open holes for the backups. But obviously it’s not as ideal.Alshon Jeffery’s outlook for this week is much more optimistic. The 28-year-old pass catcher was a full participant during Wednesday’s practice for the first time this season. Barring a setback Tennessee Titans Hats , it seems like he’s on track to play against the Titans. That’s big for the Eagles considering Jeffery was Wentz’s most targeted player in 2017. Jeffery’s potential return means the Eagles won’t have to rely as heavily upon uninspiring options like Kamar Aiken, Jordan Matthews, and Joshua Perkins in the passing game. 3 - What is the Eagles’ biggest strength? Where do they have the biggest edge in this game?The Eagles won the Super Bowl earlier this year largely because they’ve built through the trenches. Philadelphia has one of the best offensive lines in the league. They also have one of the best defensive lines, as evidence by the pressure they’ve been able to generate. Offensively, I think the Eagles will be able to open some holes in the run game and buy enough time for Carson Wentz to make plays.Defensively, Fletcher Cox has been a monster through three games and I think he’ll cause some problems for the Titans’ interior offensive line. Cox should be able to win against Ben Jones and Josh Kline. He’ll be getting some pressure on Marcus Mariota.4 - What is the Eagles’ biggest weakness? What concerns you the most about the Eagles? The Eagles’ secondary has been inconsistent early on this season. The unit has performed well during home games but facing the Buccaneers in Tampa was a different story. Ryan Fitzpatrick torched Jim Schwartz’s defense for 402 yards and four touchdowns. Making matters worse for the Eagles is that they’ll likely be without starting safety Rodney McLeod against the Titans. That means it’ll likely be 33-year-old Corey Graham starting in his place. Graham is usually a role player so this means that some of the Eagles’ subpackages might be screwed up now that he has to play more often. Another thing worth noting is that the Eagles aren’t off to a hot start when it comes to special teams. Philadelphia’s unit ranks 29th in DVOA while the Titans are 4th. 5 - Who wins this game and why? Score prediction? And what are your expectations for the rest of this Eagles season?I’m taking the Eagles to win this game. Shocking Tennessee Titans Hoodie , I know. I just feel very good about this team’s direction with Wentz back. I think he’ll be sharper this week, especially with Jeffery potentially back on the field. Mariota’s mobility could ultimately give the Eagles’ defense some trouble but I think that unit will ultimately hold up better than they did in Week 2. It should be a good game. Final score prediction: Eagles 24, Titans 20.As far as the rest of the season goes, I’m optimistic. I think the team just needs to kind of weather the storm right now as they deal with some injuries and a rusty Wentz. I have confidence they’ll start to hit their stride at some point and eventually become the first team to be a repeat winner in the NFC East since 2004. The Titans will limp into London this week sitting at 3-3, coming off of two straight dreadful offensive performances. The rushing attack has been non-existent all season and the passing game hasn’t shown up since the Eagles game. Now you get to travel across the Atlantic to face one of the NFL’s hottest offenses. The Chargers are sitting at 4-2 and are likely the most explosive offense that the Titans have seen all year. Vegas likes the Chargers in this one, as expected. The Titans opened as seven point underdogs on Sunday night. That line has moved to Titans +6.5 since. The total currently sits at 45.5.Paced by Melvin Gordon and Phillip Rivers Youth Customized Tennessee Titans Jerseys , the Chargers rank 7th in total offense so far this season. They’re averaging 6.8 yards per play, which is good for 3rd in the league. Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Mike Williams pose matchup problems across the field, giving Phillip Rivers plenty of options on any given play. All of this to say, the Titans probably won’t be able to lean on their defense in this one. Marcus Mariota and the offense is going to have to keep pace on Sunday against the Chargers’ middle-of-the-road defense, but even that seems like a difficult task at this point. Tennessee’s offensive line issues www.titansauthorizedshops.com , particularly on the interior, continue to be a problem. The NFL changes in a hurry, but it’s hard to imagine the Titans ironing out their offensive issues by Sunday.

Cleveland Browns: - “Mitchell had surgery Monday morning to repair his broken right wrist. Jackson said he didn’t believe it would be a season-ending injury.”“Hue kidding? Jackson miffed by calls in OT loss to Raiders” (AP) - “Browns coach Hue Jackson knew if he complained about Sunday’s officiating he could be fined. The NFL is always watching and listening.”“NFL defends Carlos Hyde reversal Youth David Njoku Jersey , but former VP of officials doubles down that it was bogus” (Plain Dealer) - “The NFL defended the reversal of the Carlos Hyde third-down conversion in the 45-42 overtime loss to the Raiders...”“Baker Mayfield’s turnovers part of Browns giving away game” (ESPN) - “Until they get out of their own way, the Cleveland Browns will doom themselves to more frustration and painful losses.”NFL:“Source: Le’Veon Bell to report to Steelers during Week 7” (ESPN) - “Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell told ESPN he is playing football in 2018 and does not expect to be traded.”“Injuries: Leonard Fournette (hamstring) to miss time” (NFL.com) - “The Tennessee Titans are riding high with a 3-1 record and tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars atop the AFC South, but are now without an important defensive player for a few weeks.”“Jon Gruden on Khalil Mack’s dominating day: ‘[He] had another strip sack? Are you ... kidding me?’” (CBS) - “Apparently for Gruden, the alternative -- paying Mack like ... one of the NFL’s best players -- wasn’t worth the cost.”“Ezekiel Elliott leading the league in rushing, by a big margin” (PFT) - “After one of the best games of his career on Sunday, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is back in a familiar place: Leading the NFL in rushing.” Tyrod Taylor's first days as a backup for the Browns have been difficult.And not just because he lost his job.Taylor, who was replaced as Cleveland's starter by rookie Baker Mayfield earlier this week, was cleared from concussion protocol and returned to practice Thursday, but was limited by a back injury that could prevent him from being Cleveland's No. 2 quarterback on Sunday in Oakland.Coach Hue Jackson said Taylor was limited and there's a chance Drew Stanton will be the backup when Mayfield makes his first NFL start against the Raiders."We will see exactly where that is http://www.thebrownsfootballauthentic.com/jamie-collins-jersey-authentic ," Jackson said. "He did not do a lot, so I will make sure that if we do put him out there, that he's ready to go. Obviously, Drew has been there since the situation with Tyrod had happened. We will see where that is. I will know more about that tomorrow."Jackson plans to make a decision on his No. 2 quarterback Friday before the team flies to California.Taylor was in the locker room after practice, but said he couldn't speak with reporters because he had a meeting.The 29-year-old sustained a head injury while taking a pounding during the first half of last week's game against the New York Jets. Mayfield replaced him and guided the Browns to a 21-17 win, their first in 20 games stretching to the 2016 season.Taylor was under siege early on, taking hits on five of Cleveland's first six offensive plays as the line appeared to have several communication breakdowns, which resulted in Jets players getting free shots on the QB.Coordinator Todd Haley said those early mistakes up front led directly to Taylor's rough performance (4 of 14 for 19 yards), and contributed to his injuries."I blame it 100 percent http://www.thebrownsfootballauthentic.com/seth-devalve-jersey-authentic ," Haley said. "I know that we are all very excited about Baker. That being said, I just want everybody to know that I think Tyrod has done nothing but a tremendous job and has done nothing but put us in a position to win the first two games. I have been very clear when talking about things that are not always comfortable talking about that we have made too many mental errors. A coach is never proud to say that of his group."That is what we need to do as a group because if we make some of the errors that we have made in all three games, it is not going to matter who is playing. ... It was not a fair situation to put Tyrod in."Haley was effusive in praising Taylor for serving as a model and mentor for Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick and Cleveland's presumptive franchise leader.During his first season with Cleveland, Haley has been publicly candid when discussing several issues, and cameras captured some of his frank style during scenes on HBO's "Hard Knocks" series which chronicled Browns camp this summer.Because of his affinity for Taylor, Jackson's decision to switch to Mayfield could have been against Haley's wishes. But the former Pittsburgh offensive coordinator would not comment on whether he agreed with the move."I am going to choose to not talk about any of the internal stuff," he said. "I like all of the guys, and I believe in all of the guys. What I will say about Tyrod is he came in and has been a leader from Day 1 of this group and of this entire building."There was not this same excitement and prettiness to it right now Authentic Chris Hubbard Jersey , and he was and is a big part of getting this thing continued and going in the right direction because I feel like we are."How this goes around, we have to have all of those guys ready all of the time, and he will be."NOTES: Haley acknowledged that the trick-play, 2-point conversion the Browns executed flawlessly last week was stolen from the Eagles, who ran their "Philly Special" to perfection in the Super Bowl. "I have no shame," he said. "That is the whole league, though. I think you need to have your eyes open." ... DE Myles Garrett called the NFL's roughing-the-passer crackdown "ridiculous" and said he won't risk an injury to avoid a penalty. "I'm not willing to tear something to lay him on the ground like a child," he said. cheap football jerseys

counts Denzel Ward Jersey , stats, and PFF notes: Week 5 Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 5 game against the Baltimore Ravens.QuarterbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThe Browns didn’t put a lot of points on the board Sunday, but it was another well-led game by rookie Baker Mayfield, who showed poise despite throwing an early interception and often being backed up in his own territory.There are a couple of things we’ve seen a few weeks now from Mayfield — there are a few balls where he has open receivers at the second level, but the pass is just a tad low for a linebacker to jump and deflect it. Also, while I love how he uses the pocket, sometimes he has been unaware of the rush coming and rolls right into a sack.The highest grade on offense (from PFF) went to none other than Mayfield (81.1). The throw in overtime to Derrick Willies after pressure was in his face was awesome. On passes longer than 20 yards downfield Authentic Jabrill Peppers Jersey , PFF says that Mayfield was “4-for-7 for 90 yards, one touchdown, and a passer rating of 141.4.”Running BackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsIt’s not often that the snap count percentages surprise me when I see them, but this was certainly the case this week, learning that Duke Johnson played over half the snaps on offense. Nick Chubb played more snaps than any other game this season, although his 3 carries for 2 yards were a season-worst.Don’t be sour on the day that Carlos Hyde had. His touchdown streak may have ended, but PFF notes that 61 of his 63 rushing yards came after contact and that he forced five missed tackles against Baltimore.Wide ReceiverPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsJarvis Landry made an error near the end of regulation. His 17-yard pass converted a first down, and he easily would’ve had the sideline to stop the clock. Instead Youth David Njoku Jersey , he tried to side-step inside, thinking he could fool the defense, and was tackled immediately. Cleveland rushed to the line and clocked the ball, but you basically lost two plays there.I don’t know what the Browns should do with Antonio Callaway. For the most part, I still like the routes he is running...but the drops are way over-the-top now.Rashard Higgins broke off his route in the first quarter, leading to an interception. He was unphased after that, though, catching two long passes on third down and then having a touchdown grab. Unfortunately http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-larry-ogunjobi-jersey , his birthday game ended early due to a sprained MCL that will keep him out indefinitely. Higgins had the 3rd highest PFF grade on offense for the Browns (72.5).Derrick Willies answered the bell filling in for Higgins, including the key 39-yard catch-and-run on third down to help set up the game-winning field goal. Rod Streater played 18 snaps, but was blown up on a reverse that tried to utilize his speed — Baltimore was all over it.Tight EndPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThe six catches were a career high for David Njoku, but the play that stands out is the athletic attempt he could not bring in on the sideline. That type of catch is how I envision Njoku being a weapon, but he just doesn’t bring them in enough on gameday. Can we channel him back to that first preseason game?Seth DeValve played 9 snaps in his first game back and had a 26-yard reception.Offensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsAfter a series of solid games by rookie left tackle Desmond Harrison, he was really no match for veteran rusher Terrell Suggs. Per PFF, Suggs “bull-rushed Harrison all game long.”The Browns allowed 5 sacks and 8 quarterback hits.JC Tretter (77.9) and Kevin Zeitler (68.1) were the Browns’ 2nd and 5th highest graded players on offense, respectively. Rookie Austin Corbett played three snaps.NFL admits it fumbled call in Browns loss to the Raiders The Cleveland Browns defense had trouble containing the Oakland Raiders offense last Sunday during a 45-42 overtime loss.Oakland quarterback Derek Carr passed for more than 400 yards Jarvis Landry Jersey , running back Marshawn Lynch had more than 100 rushing yards, and wide Amari Cooper and tight end Jared Cook each surpassed 100 receiving yards. But it turns out that the Browns were also battling the referees. The NFL has admitted that the officials messed up in the fourth quarter when referee Walt Anderson blew his whistle too early when Myles Garrett and Genard Avery hit Carr, forcing a fumble that Garrett recovered. Instead of the Browns having the ball with a little more than six minutes left in the game, Anderson called the play a sack and the Raiders punted on the next play.Everyone watching the play - other than Anderson - knew it should have been a fumble recovery for the Browns, and NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron admitted as much on Friday, according to an ESPN story:The Browns came out on the short end of another call later in the game when a dubious replay review overturned what would have been a game-clinching first down by running back Carlos Hyde. It is also the second time this season that Garrett has been involved in a blown call by the refs as the league admitted that a roughing the passer call on Garrett in Week 1 was the wrong call.The Browns have enough trouble trying to win a game when they only have to beat the opposing team. Hopefully this week they won’t have to worry about beating the referees as well as the Baltimore Ravens. Custom Arizona Cardinals Jerseys

Green Nation DeAndre Hopkins Jersey , the New York Jets SB Nation site. He asked me five questions. I also asked him five to preview this Saturday’s game between the Jets and Texans. This is what he had to say. 1.) Sam Darnold has been hurt and has thrown a lot of interceptions, but he has made some sublime throws. How would you describe his rookie year? Where would you rank him out of the rookie quarterback selected in the first round last year? How excited are you for future Josh Allen versus Sam Darnold matchups?2.) Quincy Enunwa, Robby Anderson, Jermaine Kearse, Elijah McGuire, Isaiah Crowell, Christopher Herndon. The Jets have a bunch of decent skill players, but no one that can carry an offense on his own. The offensive line hasn’t pass blocked or run blocked well this year. Is Darnold in an environment where he can succeed?3.) The Jets blitz from every level of the defense.They blitz all the time. When it gets picked up, it leaves them susceptible on the back end and allows the quarterback to step up and run forever. The Jets have a top ten pass defense Authentic Kevin Johnson Jersey , but they have trouble stopping the run. What’s your opinion of Todd Bowles’ defensive scheme? Are you expecting him back next year?4.) Leonard Williams is an undeniable talent, but he has only 15 sacks in his career and hasn’t put together a monstrous box score stuffing season. Why is that?5.) Do you give the Jets any chance of upsetting Houston? If so, why will the Jets win? HOUSTON (0-3) at INDIANAPOLIS (1-2)Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBSOPENING LINE - Pick-emRECORD VS.

have done a great job of protecting Baker Mayfield recently Houston Texans Hats , and have the longest active streak in the NFL by not allowing a sack in 125 snaps.Things will get more difficult for the Browns (4-6-1) on Sunday when they visit the Houston Texans (8-3) and their defense led by pass-rushing stars J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. Watt is tied for second in the NFL with 11 1/2 sacks and has 19 quarterback hits, and Clowney has seven sacks and 15 quarterback hits."I have a job to do and that's my job to go out there and hopefully end that streak," Watt said. "They've obviously been doing a good job. It's going to be a good battle."Mayfield, who hasn't been sacked in two games, said he's watched Watt play since the quarterback was in high school and knows he'll have to account for him and Clowney on every play."I have to get it out very quick," Mayfield said. "They have two of the best defensive ends in the league. That is not discrediting any of the other guys, but they are talented. The emphasis has to be on getting the ball out, which we have been trying to do these past weeks. We have to keep doing it."The Texans know the key to stretching their franchise-record winning streak to nine games will be slowing down Mayfield, the top overall pick in this year's draft. Mayfield has 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions in eight starts this season and is coming off a season-best four touchdown performance in Cleveland's 35-20 win at Cincinnati last week."Baker's a winner," Houston coach Bill O'Brien said. "He's a competitor, very accurate, has a great instinct for the game Houston Texans Womens Hoodie , excellent ability to keep plays alive. I can just tell you we hold him in very high regard."While Houston attempts to contain Mayfield, the Browns will try and limit the Texans' young quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is also coming off a good game. Watson threw two touchdown passes and ran for a career-high 70 yards and a score in a 34-17 win over Tennessee on Monday.Cleveland interim coach Gregg Williams has been impressed with Watson's improvement in his second season after playing just seven games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending knee injury."I think the game's slowing down for him," Williams said. "You can see that he's more relaxed. He never did show any stress or panic, but you can see he's more comfortable in what he's doing ... you can see as the season's gone on, each week he's more and more comfortable with how he's playing physically (and) mentally."Some things to look for when the Browns visit the Texans:RUNNING WILDThe Texans are averaging the fourth-most yards rushing a game in the NFL after running for a franchise-record 281 yards on Monday night. Lamar Miller led the way with 162 yards rushing and a 97-yard touchdown against the Titans. The 27-year-old Miller is having a solid season after being slowed by minor injuries last year. He has three 100-yard rushing games after not rushing for more than 75 yards in a game last season."(Miller) is hitting the hole and he is hitting it fast and violent, and he is breaking arm tackles," Browns linebacker Joe Schobert said. "There are linebackers and D-line are in the holes and just trying to reach out trying to bring him down. He is running through it, and you see he has the speed to take it all the way to the house like we saw the other day."ROAD WOESCleveland's win at Cincinnati last week snapped a 25-game road losing streak and was its first victory away from Cleveland since Oct. 11, 2015. Now the Browns will try to win consecutive road games in a season for the first time since they beat San Francisco and Pittsburgh on Sept. 21 and Oct. 5, 2003.While the Browns have been terrible on the road, they haven't been much better at home. Sunday's victory marked the first time they'd won two straight games overall since 2014 Womens Customized Houston Texans Jerseys , when they won three in a row.QB REUNIONOnce foes, Watson and Mayfield are now friends.The quarterbacks will have an on-field reunion Sunday, meeting for the first time since the 2016 Orange Bowl when Watson led Clemson to a 37-17 win over Mayfield and the Oklahoma Sooners. Watson and Mayfield are part of the NFL's next wave of star quarterbacks, and the pair already shares a mutual respect."He's going to have a bright future, a bright career, win a lot of games, win championships and do a lot of things for himself and that organization," Watson said of Mayfield. "I'm a big Baker fan and everything that he has been doing for a long time. It's going to be very exciting to see him pregame and compete against him. I'll talk to him later this week and probably jersey swap with him."The Browns passed on a chance to draft Watson in 2017. But if they had taken him, Mayfield would be elsewhere. As he develops, Cleveland's rookie QB has been impressed with what Watson has already accomplished."Deshaun is an incredible quarterback, incredible athlete, a great leader Authentic Deshaun Watson Jersey ," Mayfield said. "He's been playing at a very high level. He's a huge reason why they've won eight in a row. It's always great to play great competition. You always look forward to that."AP Sports Writer Tom Withers contributed to this report.Red Zone Play: J.J. Watt’s Fourth DPOY Campaign Starts Here Just two short years ago, the very idea that J.J. Watt was about to take the field gave opposing offenses legit reason to lose sleep the night before the game. Then he got hurt鈥?and hurt again. Now many see Watt as a wounded lion; someone you shouldn’t take your eye off of, but not someone to base your entire game plan around. From all signs coming out of training camp, J.J. Watt is more than a lessened King of the Jungle.He’s a wily, wild animal ready to devour opposing offenses once more. Pro Football Talk’s Peter King just ran a piece on potential Comeback Player of the Year candidates and Watt was firmly in the conversation. If all the stars align, if everyone on the defense around Watt has “the best teammate they can be” kind of season, what’s truly mind-blowing is the single stat: 100 sacks.No one, outside of a game of Madden, has ever hit 24 sacks in a single season. If there’s anyone in the game capable of it, it’s Watt. Why is that number so significant? Well, Watt currently has 76 career sacks. 24 more and he hits the century mark. It’s not that J.J. needs much more to cement his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but having the season sack record all to himself and becoming the only player in NFL history to win the Defensive Player of the Year four times might just merit his own wing in Canton http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/deshaun-watson-jersey , Ohio. Before we go passing out gold jackets, J.J. will have to take some snaps on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Will we get another nine tackle, two sack performance like we saw on Opening Day in 2015 (doubtful, as it’s an exhibition match-up)? Or could this game end up like last October’s nightmare against the Chiefs where Watt broke his leg? Chances are, since it’s just a preseason game, we’re going to end up with not much to go on but a few snaps. When you’ve gone this long without seeing meaningful playing time from the Houston Texans, reaching for desired highlight reel stuff is understandable.So what do you think? Are we going to see a shockingly good J.J. Watt this year? A grizzled veteran who plays situationally to minimize wear and tear while maximizing his impact? Or is J.J. Watt closer to the last year of Arian Foster’s Texans career, where all we get is hopes and dreams with no signs of what once was? One thing is for sure:If you’ve been paying attention to Watt since he chose to walk on at Wisconsin, if there’s anyone who can beat the odds like he beats a tackle with poor technique, it’s J.J. Watt.

when it comes to going for it on fourth down. As more and more coaches follow Pederson’s lead by rolling the dice in key spots Youth Destiny Vaeao Jersey , Pederson spent a little time explaining to PFT after Sunday’s come-from-16-behind win over the Giants his method for deciding whether to go for it.“I think what you’re seeing is a mix of gut feeling, a little analytics, and trusting the players,” Pederson said.Pederson also said that he spends plenty of time rehearsing the scenarios during which a go-for-it-or-not decision is being made. He thinks about it not only when formally preparing for the next Eagles game but also when watching other games Mike Wallace Jersey , including NFL games and college games.“You’re watching situations and testing yourself,” Pederson said. “It’s constant study.”Some decisions to go for it are made prior to the game, with Pederson telling the players that, if they get in a specific situation during the game Authentic Sidney Jones Jersey , they’ll go for it. Other decisions are made in the moment.When it’s time to make those decisions in the moment, Pederson can instantly draw upon a reservoir of research and thinking and repetition from moments when other coaches found themselves having to decide whether to take a chance, recalling his own assessment of what he would have done in those various specific circumstances.That’s something every coach should be doing, up to and including playing Madden in the offseason (I’m not kidding) to force themselves to consider whether to go for it under as many specific scenarios as possible. No coach has admitted that he uses that type of simulation Youth Malcolm Jenkins Jersey , but it seems like it’s only a matter of time before someone does. The news that Jay Ajayi is out for the season with a torn ACL was followed quickly by speculation about whether the Eagles will make a trade to bolster their running back group.Names like Le'Veon Bell and LeSean McCoy have come up on that front and the Eagles swung a trade for Ajayi last year, but this Thursday’s game is almost certainly going to be handled by the backs already on the roster. That group includes Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams and the currently injured Darren Sproles http://www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brandon-graham-jersey , and it has enough for offensive coordinator Mike Groh to feel comfortable about what’s available.“We’re going to miss Jay’s physicality for sure,” Groh said in a Tuesday press conference. “I mean, to sit here and say we won’t miss Jay I think isn’t fair. Jay is an excellent running back.聽But we’ve gotten these guys a lot of experience. They’ve played in enough games to be able to go out there and play well and be able to run our system. We’re confident in what they can do.”Clement has been dealing with a quad injury and didn’t play at all against the Vikings despite dressing for the game. Groh said he gives the team “a lot of versatility back there” when healthy and said he could give the team some of what they lose with Ajayi between the tackles, but it remains to be seen if he’s going to be healthy and productive enough for the team to resist another big move.

This belief would lead me to tweet out “Eagles gonna get that W” in the early Sunday AM hours. And I’ll have you know the Eagles never lost when I did that.Well www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com , folks, I’m getting that feeling again today. And it’s not like I’ve had it for every game this year. I didn’t feel as confident heading into the Eagles’ Week 2 game against the Buccaneers. I had some uneasiness about that one. Not today, though. I predict the Eagles are going to beat the Titans. Carson Wentz is going to look less rusty than he did last week. The Eagles’ offense will be better with Alshon Jeffery and Jay Ajayi back. I expect the Eagles’ defense to hold up well against a Titans team that likes to run the ball way too much for their own good. Running against the Eagles is like a gift to Jim Schwartz. Philadelphia’s run defense ranks second in the league by DVOA. Even with missing Rodney McLeod, the Eagles’ pass defense should hold up Marcus Mariota Philadelphia Eagles Womens T-Shirt , who doesn’t even have complete feeling in his fingers.I’m not saying the Eagles are going to blow out the Titans. There’s a reason why Tennessee is 2-1 with their only loss coming to a 3-0 Dolphins team. I think the Titans will make it respectable.But I just think the reigning Super Bowl champions are the better team here. I trust them in this spot on the road.Don’t let me down, Eagles....Suggested format:Score prediction:Bold prediction:My predictions:Score prediction: 24-13, Eagles win.Bold prediction: Three receiving touchdowns for Alshon Jeffery.Fan predictions:Bleeding Green Nation FanPulse (survey of Eagles fans): Eagles favored by 9 pointsMusic City Miracles FanPulse (survey of Titans fans): Titans favored by 2 pointsLeave your own predictions in the comments.

That is not normally the case when the Titans are taking on another team from the AFC Navy Kenny Vaccaro Jersey , so go ahead and make a not of that in your head. If you are not from this area, you can see if you get the game, or what games you get here.The Titans have been the favorite in this game since the line came out. The number has bounced around a little bit from -2.5 to where it currently is, at least on My Bookie, at -1. For recreational purposes only, I really like that number for the Titans. I think they go down there and win this one pretty easily.Most “experts” like the Titans in this one. They were picked pretty heavily with the ESPN crew. The picks were pretty mixed over at CBS, with Pete Prisco, unsurprisingly, picking the Dolphins. He’s the worst! The Odds Shark computer has the Titans losing by 3. That computer is worse than Prisco!Nuts and boltsLocation: Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FLGame time: Sunday, September 9, 2018 | 12:00 p.m. CentralTV channel: FOXAnnouncers: Sam Rosen Youth Jonnu Smith Jersey , Cris CarterOnline Stream/Replay: NFL GamepassWe are going to use this as the open thread today, so use this to discuss the game.GO TITANS!!What we learned from Luke Falk last night In case you live under a rock, 1) The Titans played some preseason football last night, where they lost to the Packers 31-17, 2) How are you even alive after living under a rock? That must be suffocating.While the Titans lost, it’s a preseason game, so there’s no harm done. One player I wanted to highlight is rookie 6th round pick Luke Falk, who is on a quest to become the Titans’ long term backup quarterback. He was 10/19 for 105 yards and a touchdown, and as the stats show, his accuracy was not real good.Let’s take a look at a few throws from Falk to help illustrate what I saw from him. The first is perhaps the worst throw I’ve seen from this preseason so far. Please direct your attention to the play below.I can’t believe what I’m seeing....gamepass.nfl.comI mean, this pass is nowhere near Devin Ross. It’s bad enough that Ross burned his man and was missed by his quarterback, but “missed” is being generous. This is The Room of bad throws Navy Kamalei Correa Jersey , a throw that’s so bad it’s actually transcended the traditional label of “bad throws” and has entered the realm of entertainingly bad. Let me put it this way; If this was thrown in a regular season game, it would’ve been the bad throw of a lifetime, a once in a generation awful throw.Anyway, the throw illustrates the lack of arm talent Falk has and has me doing the thousand yard stare, but thankfully his very next throw is a positive one.A good throw which means my eyes have been cleansed to an extent from the previous play. gamepass.nfl.comHere, Falk displays very good patience as his route develops. In actual regular season action against better defenses, he’d get caught planting his feet and locking his eyes on the receiver, but at least the throw here to Deontay Burnett is pretty. Outside of this throw, however, Falk was wide of the mark. He missed a few shorter throws even though the receivers were clearly open.Oh.....gamepass.nfl.comErratic accuracy is a concern I had with Falk in college, and it was also a concern here. Granted, it’s preseason Youth Rashaan Evans Jersey , but if Marcus Mariota goes down, the Titans are screwed. Blaine Gabbert is a terrible starter, and Falk is a 6th round prospect who is clearly flawed. Overall, there’s more throws out there to look at, but I just wanted to give a quick look into Falk’s performance. I kind of expected this from him, so there’s nothing to get mad at, but at the same time, Falk has to make improvements if he wants any chance at being the 2nd string quarterback.
