ORCHARD PARK Youth Vosean Joseph Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — A week before launching his first pass in a competitive NFL setting, rookie quarterback Josh Allen stood in awe amid a throng of Buffalo Bills fans who were not only chanting his name but also that of his mother.“Mrs. Allen! Mrs. Allen!” they yelled, trying to get the attention of LaVonne Allen, who was standing on New Era Field following a recent practice, watching her son signing countless autographs.“I’m just kind of speechless right now,” Josh Allen said, referring to the attention he and his mother have received since training camp opened three weeks ago.“It’s really cool to feel wanted by the fans,” he added, noting there’s nothing during his playing days at Wyoming that compares to what he’s experienced since arriving in Buffalo. “I’m just trying to be the best quarterback possible. So as long as I’m playing well and improving every day, I will just continue this.”The Bills’ first-round draft pick took his first big step in that process during Buffalo’s 28-23 preseason-opening loss to Carolina on Thursday night.A loud cheer went up following the second-half kickoff, when Allen — in his No. 17 jersey — took the field for the first time. And the buzz grew on the first play, when Allen faked a handoff and effortlessly threw the ball nearly 60 yards only to have receiver Robert Foster catch it just out of bounds along the left sideline.“You have to love that, right?” coach Sean McDermott said of Allen’s first attempt. “I think the fans appreciated that. I appreciated it. We’re out there, these guys are having fun, and I thought it gave the crowd some juice.”It wasn’t, however, lost on McDermott that the pass was one of many that fell incomplete Womens Vosean Joseph Jersey , a reflection of how much Allen still has to develop before being deemed ready to take over as the team’s starter.Allen finished 9 of 19 for 116 yards, and essentially threaded a needle between two defenders by hitting rookie Ray-Ray McCloud III for a 14-yard touchdown pass. There were some errant throws, too, such as the short swing pass to his right that sailed well wide of Foster early in the fourth quarter.“We looked really good at times last night, and then we saw where we still have a lot of work to do, and Josh is no different,” McDermott said Friday. “He’s a young player, who I thought took a step last night. It was a good step in the right direction.”McDermott continues to be ultra-cautious in not wanting to rush Allen’s development. Allen works mostly with the third-string offense, while returning backup Nathan Peterman and free-agent addition A.J. McCarron are splitting time with the starters.“Calculated,” is how McDermott described his approach to Allen. “You can see the arm talent. You can see the special type of player that he could be. But there’s a lot of room for growth between where we are now and where he needs to get to.”The 22-year-old Allen represents a hopeful future for a franchise that appears to be moving on an upward trend. The Bills sneaked into the playoffs on the final day of the season to snap a 17-year playoff drought — the NFL’s longest active streak.Buffalo then traded third-year starter Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland, and moved up five spots to draft Allen seventh overall in a bid to fill a position that has remained unsettled since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season.Give him time, said veteran running back LeSean McCoy, who refers to Allen as “one of my favorites.”“He’s a rookie, but he has a super talent,” McCoy said. “And I think once he gets the bruises of playing a little bit, the lumps, he’ll be fine.”As for the attention Allen has attracted Authentic Vosean Joseph Jersey , McCoy isn’t surprised.“A high draft pick, anywhere you go, it’s like that,” he said. “The thing here is we’ve been waiting for this franchise quarterback. He’s young. A lot of high expectations. I think he could do it. I really do.”Allen is taking it one step at a time, and focused on not allowing the buzz to distract him.“I understand that this comes with it, but I’m completely focused on playing football for the Bills,” he said. “I’m here to compete.”LaVonne Allen is impressed by and grateful for the welcome she and her son have received.“It’s overwhelming, to be honest with you, to see the love and the passion they have for the game and for Josh,” she said. “They seem excited that he’s here. And he’s as excited as they are.”It’s a lot like what happened during Allen’s three-year stint at Wyoming, where two years ago he led the school to its first appearance in the Mountain West championship game.“People are coming up to us left and right and introducing themselves,” LaVonne Allen said. “It feels like Laramie. It feels like home.” Before entering the season, the bye week was always a potential for change. Dan Quinn had come off a bad season, fired all the top coordinators, and took on even more responsibility. There was no one to blame but Quinn if the changes did not pay off. In fact, the existence of former head coaches Dirk Koetter, Raheem Morris Vosean Joseph Jersey Boys , and Mike Mularkey give the team a backup option in case of disaster.Well, disaster is here.Ian Rapoport reports that, as you may have assumed, Arthur Blank is considering firing Quinn at the bye week.Blank has been skeptical of in-season changes since the Bobby Petrino debacle created a lasting disarray. However, that was over a decade ago and Blank is certainly getting tired of watching his top players wasted.Quinn has an uphill battle. Today he is on the road against the Arizona Cardinals, then faces the seemingly unstoppable Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks at home. Today is his only clear chance at a win. Per Rapsheet, there will be “some serious discussions” regarding Quinn if he can’t do much the next three weeks.Blank will certainly also be looking at the Washington Redskins. If that team can battle back after firing Jay Gruden, maybe the Falcons could salvage the season.Before Mike Smith was ultimately fired, there were similar rumors that Smith could save his job by making the playoffs. The Falcons, of course, imploded against the Carolina Panthers instead. This feels similar, except these Falcons have performed so much worse than Smith’s 2014 squad.The potential structure is still to be determined as there is no defensive coordinator. Morris has been with the team the longest and has experience on both sides of the ball. For better or worse, Koetter will likely remain the offensive coordinator. Perhaps he will be given the freedom to run his own scheme instead of this Kyle Shanahan-esque hybrid without any identity. The most likely defensive coordinator is probably senior assistant Bob Sutton, defensive passing game coordinator Jerome Henderson, or linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich. Henderson and Ulbrich have been with the team since Quinn was hired, while Sutton was recently hired to manage game-day decisions.The message here is clear to Quinn: Win now or get fired.

every now and then by pulling out one of his notebooks from his junior and senior years at Brown University.The New England Patriots fullback flips through a few pages James Develin Jersey , shakes his head and can barely recognize what he scribbled on them on his way to earning a degree in mechanical engineering in 2010.“It’s just like looking at a whole different language,” Develin said with a big smile at the Patriots’ team hotel Wednesday. “I have no idea the stuff I did.”That’s because the 30-year-old Develin has been fully focused on football the past nine years. More specifically, as the bruising, bulldozing fullback who smashes holes through defensive lines and powers the way for the Patriots’ running game.“You’ve just got to be tough, got to be nasty, got to be physical,” running back James White said. “And he’s all of that.”Develin is a bit of an anomaly in today’s NFL, playing a position that doesn’t even exist on many teams. Only 14 of 32 squads regularly lined up a fullback — something that would have been unheard of up until a handful of years ago as two-back sets were common for decades.With a shift to faster, spread-out offenses, the need for a big bopper in the backfield has dwindled.Except in places such as New England, which has used Develin on 68 snaps this postseason — a number that could represent a whole regular season’s worth for some of today’s fullbacks.“I think the fullback position has always kind of got the moniker that it’s a dying breed, that it’s kind of on its way out, but I think football is such a matchup game and things work so cyclically,” Develin said. “As defenses get smaller and try to stop the passing attack Womens LaAdrian Waddle Jersey , it kind of leaves them susceptible to, with lighter, faster guys on the field, for a power running game.“I think there’s always going to be a legitimate use for a fullback and I’m just happy to be out there doing what I do.”What Develin, who can squat 670 pounds and bench press 500, does isn’t always seen in the game stats. Taking on defensive linemen and blitzing linebackers looking to blow up plays in the backfield is the fullback’s responsibility.For Develin, that means bursting open holes for the likes of White, Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead. He thinks of himself as the “bodyguard” for the running backs.“He’s definitely our protector out there,” White said with a laugh.On the AFC championship-clinching 2-yard TD run by Burkhead, it was Develin who made a terrific block to clear things in front of him.“I want to be the hammer,” Develin said. “Not the nail.”That’s how it is during most games for the 6-foot-3, 255-pound bruiser. He has 13 career regular-season carries for 23 yards and five touchdowns, including four this season. Develin also set a career best with 12 catches for 61 yards.He has two rushes for 5 yards in the playoffs this year, and a 9-yard catch http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-mitchell-jersey , all while setting the tone for a Patriots running game that has averaged 165.5 yards this postseason — second only to New England’s Super Bowl opponent, the Los Angeles Rams (175.0).Not bad for Develin, who didn’t exactly take a direct route to get here.He was a defensive lineman in college, racking up 15 sacks in four years while earning that Ivy League education. But he went undrafted and began lining up interviews for jobs as an engineer before insisting on giving football a final try.He had a few tryouts with NFL teams, but was told he wasn’t fast enough or flat-out good enough to make it as a pro. He played one game for the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz of the Arena Football League.“I never thought I’d abandon it,” Develin said. “This is a dream of mine. You know, I love the game of football and I was willing to do whatever it took to make it my livelihood. I never took no for an answer and just kept chugging away, no matter how many doors were slammed in my face. I just kept on going and working as hard as I possibly could and knew that the cards would eventually fall my way.”Develin decided to give a switch to fullback a try, and got an opportunity with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League in 2010. He showed enough to land a spot on Cincinnati’s practice squad later that year, and was reunited with his former Tuskers coach in 2011 when Jay Gruden became the Bengals’ offensive coordinator.The following year, Develin was one of Cincinnati’s final cuts out of training camp. Then came a call from the Patriots — and he has been a valuable piece of the Tom Brady-led offense since.“He does so much for us,” Patriots center David Andrews said. “He’s such a dependable football player. He’s a tough football player. He adds that extra pressure to the defense and that extra toughness to our football team.”So, Develin will keep pounding defenders for now. And, maybe one day after his football career is long over Dwayne Allen Jersey , he’ll hit the books again.“I thought an engineering degree was a pretty good thing to have in my back pocket, so I went out there and got it done,” he said. “Then, I just followed my first dream, which was football, and it all worked out.” Vote on the winners of the Sweet 16 matchups in the Brady and Gronk Regions!"WhitePatriots News Opinion and Analysis Contribute!

The matchup between Super Bowl 51 and the 2003 game in Indianapolis looks to be a bloodbath: a great regular season game against the Colts, ending a fantastic goal line stand, might’ve been enough to knock off Tom Brady’s first career comeback in the first round, but it won’t be enough to get by his best.

what appeared to be a pretty significant blow to an already depleted unit when it was reported that nickel CB Mackensie Alexander suffered a dislocated elbow.Fortunately for the Vikings Replica Armon Watts Jersey , they received some good news on that front today:The worst case scenario was surgery, and a good possibility of season ending IR. For a unit that’s still awaiting Mike Hughes to return while riding out another seven games of the Holton Hill suspension, this originally looked like a really bad injury.As Pelissero said, the Vikings haven’t given any timetable for a return, so we’ll have to wait to see what the team and the daily injury reports say. If Hughes can come back this week, that would be a big help, but like Alexander’s status, we’ll have to wait an see on that, too.But, at least for now, it looks like the Vikings have dodged a big bullet. MINNEAPOLIS — Josh Allen played with the poise of a well-seasoned quarterback Stitched Armon Watts Jersey , hustling to give Buffalo an early lead in his first NFL road start.Then, the Bills turned their defense loose on Kirk Cousins and delivered a stunningly lopsided victory over the Minnesota Vikings.More Vikings coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Rookie Bradbury is central figure to Vikings’ overhauled offensive lineVikings depth at cornerback being tested, Hughes still not clearedPlayers to watch at Minnesota Vikings 2019 training campTop Tweets: Vikings WR Diggs makes push for All-NFL Style TeamAllen accounted for three touchdowns, making Cousins look like the raw rookie as the Bills beat the Vikings 27-6 on Sunday as 16½-point underdogs.“This is a tough place to play. That’s a good Vikings defense,” said Allen, who became the first Bills rookie quarterback to record at least one rushing and passing score in his first career road start. “It just solidifies the trust that I have in my teammates.”Cousins had three turnovers. He lost a fumble on a third-down sack inside Minnesota’s 20-yard line on each of the first two possessions , and Buffalo turned those recoveries into 10 points. The Bills built a 27-0 lead by midway through the second quarter as the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium, where the Vikings had won 10 of their last 11 games including the playoffs, began booing with increased intensity.“Great defense, well-coached, great scheme Armon Watts Minnesota Vikings Jerseys ,” Cousins said. “They have legitimate players at a lot of different positions.”The Vikings (1-1-1) allowed the Bills (1-2) to become only the sixth 16-plus-point underdog winner in the NFL’s last 81 point spreads of that size. According to ESPN research, the last such winner was Washington over Dallas on Dec. 3, 1995.“I don’t think we took them too lightly,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “I think they came out and kicked our butts.”After being outscored 75-9 over their first six quarters of the season, the Bills have enjoyed a 41-9 advantage over the last six periods.“We really don’t really pay attention to what people think about us,” linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. “It’s all about internal belief and confidence. If you listen to outside noise, we’d never win a game because nobody respects Buffalo at all. We have to continue to go out and earn that respect.”Allen certainly earned some with this performance.The seventh overall pick in the draft out of Wyoming who took the job earlier than expected in relief of a struggling Nathan Peterman in the opener, completed 15 of 22 passes for 196 yards. That included a 26-yard touchdown pass to wide-open tight end Jason Croom .AIRBORNE ALLENThough Allen took three sacks and fumbled three times, the Bills were able to recover all of them. He put together a mini-highlight film with his feet while injured running back LeSean McCoy watched in a sweatsuit — with a big smile — from the sideline.Allen dived to finish a 10-yard run by beating Anthony Barr to the pylon to finish the game’s first drive. Later, on third-and-9, Allen hurdled over Barr to land past the first-down marker. He capped that possession with a 1-yard touchdown leap over the goal line on fourth down for a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter.“He was decisive early Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , and that’s important,” coach Sean McDermott said. “It looked like he played with a clear mind.”GROUNDED GAMEWith running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) inactive and the score so lopsided, the Vikings set a franchise record for fewest rushing attempts with six. Cousins, who took four sacks, finished 40 for 55 for 296 yards and a late touchdown to Kyle Rudolph .GOING GREENThe Vikings inducted the late Dennis Green, who’s second behind Bud Grant in winning percentage as a head coach, into their Ring of Honor. Green, who guided the Vikings to the playoffs in eight of his 10 seasons, became the 24th member. The Vikings beat the Bills in all three meetings under Green.INJURY REPORTBills: Beyond McCoy (rib), starting CB Phillip Gaines (elbow) and backup DE Shaq Lawson (hamstring) was inactive. … Russell Bodine, who started at C for Ryan Groy Armon Watts Jersey nfl draft , left with leg cramps in the third quarter.

CINCINNATI (AP)Andy Dalton hasn’t seen this much change in the Bengals’ offense since his rookie season. He’s expecting even more when the NFL draft begins on Thursday.For the second straight year, the Bengals need a lot of help on offense.They chose receiver John Ross and running back Joe Mixon with their first two picks last season, hoping to inject big plays into an offense that had declined.Instead, things got even worse – Cincinnati finished last in the league in offense for the first time in its history.Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor has been given a free hand to overhaul the offense, and the Bengals are expected to put a heavy accent on it during the draft.”That’s one of the big things that we’re trying to do here: Start from scratch, make things feel new Corey Bojorquez Jersey ,” Dalton said.”There are a lot of new faces and coaches, a couple new players, and I think we have more coming in the next couple of weeks. Things feel new, and that’s a good thing.”What we’ve done in the last couple of years wasn’t good enough, and so we’ve got to do things a different way.”There are new coordinators on offense and defense, although head coach Marvin Lewis was retained and given a two-year contract extension that provide more chances to get his elusive first playoff win. The Bengals started a youth movement last season and it didn’t go smoothly, especially on the offense.Unlike previous years when the Bengals could draft from a long-term perspective Womens Adolphus Washington Jersey , they’ll be thinking about immediate impacts from its top picks.Some things to watch with the Bengals’ draft:OH!-LINEThe offensive line was the biggest factor in Cincinnati’s fall to the bottom of the league. The Bengals let left tackle Andrew Whitworth and right guard Kevin Zeitler leave as free agents, and the line fell apart. In this offseason, center Russell Bodine signed a two-year deal with Buffalo, creating another hole. They’ve begun addressing the problem through the draft already, trading with the Bills for left tackle Cordy Glenn. The teams swapped first-round picks, with Buffalo moving up to No. 12 and Cincinnati sliding to 21st overall. They need more help in the draft.ANOTHER QB?The Bengals took AJ McCarron in the fifth round in 2014, hoping to acquire a reliable backup for Dalton. The move worked well – McCarron took over when Dalton broke the thumb on his passing hand in 2015 and led the Bengals into the playoffs. McCarron left for Buffalo as a free agent Youth Harrison Phillips Jerseys , and the Bengals signed Matt Barkley to a two-year deal, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they considered a quarterback in the fifth round again.LINEBACKER DAZEVontaze Burfict is suspended for the first four games of the season – the third year in a row that he’s serving punishment from the NFL. As long as he’s around, there will be a need for depth at that position. Burfict has missed the start of each of the past four seasons because of injury or suspensions.HITS, MISSES AND BARGAINSThe Bengals haven’t gotten much from the offensive players taken in the opening rounds the past three years. They chose offensive tackles Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher in the first two rounds in 2015. Ogbuehi has struggled to keep a spot, and Fisher had a procedure for an irregular heartbeat last year. Receiver Tyler Boyd – a second-round pick in 2016 – managed only 22 caches in 10 games in 2017. Last year, Ross had shoulder surgery that limited him at the start of training camp and wound up with only one carry – he fumbled – and no receptions before another shoulder injury ended his season. Mixon started seven games and finished with 626 yards and a 3.5-yard average.—

Monday Cris Carter Jersey , the Bills offensive coordinator even managed to crack a joke.When asked about rookie quarterback Josh Allen leaping over Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr to avoid an open-field tackle and gain a first down on a 10-yard scramble a day earlier, Daboll feigned surprise by questioning whether reporters pay attention during practice."You guys are out to practice, right? We spend five minutes on hurdling and the other five minutes on footwork," he said, before referring to quarterbacks coach David Culley. "We have David stand out there, and Josh makes a leap."Daboll was joking, of course. And yet the play in question, which extended a drive Allen capped with a 1-yard touchdown run to put Buffalo up 24-0, was symbolic of the Bills suddenly having a jump in their step following a 27-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings.Allen, the rookie first-round draft pick, overcame several hurdles by having a hand in all three touchdowns (one passing, two rushing) in winning his first game Chris Doleman Jersey , and on the road, no less. The Bills, meanwhile, overcame two mostly dreadful losses and extremely low expectations as 16陆-point underdogs to improve to 1-2 .And even Buffalo's porous defense rebounded by limiting the Vikings to 14 yards rushing, matching the second-fewest in team history. The Bills also forced three takeaways, generated four sacks and halted a two-game stretch in which they allowed 78 points, starting with a 47-3 season-opening rout at Baltimore.Encouraging as it might be, coach Sean McDermott preferred tapping the breaks in suggesting his still very young team has plenty to work on in preparing to play at the Green Bay Packers (1-1-1) on Sunday.It's difficult to determine, yet, whether the Bills are the team outscored by a combined 75-9 through the first six quarters of the season, or the one outscoring opponents by a combined 41-9 over the past six."When you look at the last six quarters, the way they've been able to play Chuck Foreman Jersey , I think it says a lot about the group," McDermott said. "But we're still not where we need to be. We're not a finished product, and we understand that."As for Allen vaulting Barr, McDermott was pleased in seeing his quarterback's competitiveness, and relieved he didn't get hurt."I'm not going to take that away from him, but there's a time and place for it as well," McDermott said. "The part I like about it was he was decisive, and you don't always see that with young players."Allen provided an immediate spark by going 15 of 22 for 196 yards passing and adding 39 yards rushing. On the downside, the 22-year-old still experienced a few miscues in fumbling the ball three times, with each recovered by the Bills.Buffalo's running attack gained a season-best 128 yards despite missing LeSean McCoy, who was sidelined by a rib cartilage injury.The biggest takeaway for Buffalo was the play of its defense. Each of the Vikings' first two drives ended with Kirk Cousins losing a fumble while being sacked, and led to the Bills scoring 10 points to build a 17-0 lead 10 minutes into the game.That's a big turnaround from a 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers a week earlier. Buffalo allowed the Chargers to score touchdowns on four consecutive drives in the first half Paul Krause Jersey , which led to McDermott taking over the defensive play-calling duties from coordinator Leslie Frazier in the second half.Frazier regained the play-calling duties and wound up earning a game ball in a win against a Vikings team he previously coached."Although we were struggling statistically, in my own mind I felt like there were some remedies," Frazier said. "You've just got to be patient and handle what you need to handle."NOTES: McDermott listed McCoy as day to day, while DE Shaq Lawson is expected to return to practice this week after missing two games with a hamstring injury. ... Allen had 168 yards passing in the first half, the most in the opening two quarters by a Bills player since Tyrod Taylor had 236 in a 30-22 loss at Kansas City on Nov. 29, 2015. ... The Bills have yet to top 300 yards this season after managing 293 against Minnesota.

Our friend Bill Barnwell echoes those sentiments in his recent piece on ESPN ranking the offensive “arsenals” in the National Football League from best to worst.Minnesota’s offensive personnel checks in on this year’s list at the same spot they did on last year’s, at #5 in the NFL. Here’s what he had to say about them:First off, I didn’t realize that about Thielen’s receiving yardage. . .though I probably should have. . .but Barnwell is right. Here’s what Thielen has done every year in terms of receiving yardage:2014: 137 yards2015: 144 yards (a small increase Fran Tarkenton Jersey , but an increase nonetheless)2016: 967 yards2017: 1,276 yards2018: 1,373 yardsHe’s capable of doing it again, but it’s going to take a heck of a performance to make that happen. I thought that Diggs had increased his total each year as well, but he actually had less yardage in 2017 than he did in 2016, so that’s not the case.While Barnwell admits that his rankings do lean heavily towards wide receivers, saying as much in the introduction to the piece, I can’t help but think that the Vikings’ spot in these rankings could fall. . .or even rise. . .based on the health of Dalvin Cook. I know that’s something that we’ve been preaching all offseason to this point, but it can’t be overemphasized. This offense is just different with Dalvin Cook lining up next to or behind Kirk Cousins. We don’t know if Alexander Mattison is capable of carrying the load in the Minnesota backfield. But, with all due respect to him and his abilities, I’d rather we wait a while to find out.We know that the Vikings have the talent to make a run in 2019. Are they going to be able to get it done? I damn sure hope so.

EAGAN Womens Laquon Treadwell Jersey , Minn. — Thanks to Adam Thielen, Minnesota’s record book has already needed several revisions this year.Just past the midpoint of the schedule for the Vikings, Thielen leads the NFL in receptions (78) at a pace that would fall four short of the all-time single-season mark (143). He leads the league with 947 yards. Kirk Cousins, the new prize quarterback with the annual $28 million salary cap hit, without prompting recently called Thielen the best player on this standout-laden team.More Vikings coverageVikings’ Kearse faces gun, drunken driving charges after arrestVikings’ Kearse apologizes, returns to work after weekend arrestPhotos of the Week: 10/20/19 – 10/26/19Vikings surge into second half thanks to Cousins, CookVikings Snap Counts: Penalties spoil Mattison’s big dayThe accolades of this magnitude might not exist for Thielen, though, without Stefon Diggs.Thielen and Diggs are the only teammates currently in the top 10 in the league in catches, on pace for a combined 242. That would break the record for receptions by a pair of teammates, set in 1995 by Herman Moore and Brett Perriman for Detroit with 231.Opposing defenses are naturally less likely to apply double coverage on Thielen when Diggs is in a pattern at the same time, as evidenced by contrast in a victory over the Lions last week. With Diggs sidelined by a rib injury, Thielen didn’t have much space. He used one of his textbook double moves to beat cornerback Nevin Lawson for a short touchdown, his seventh of the year, but he finished with only 22 yards for his lowest total since the 2016 season.The mutual benefit of this dominant wide receiver duo, though, began on the practice field years ago.“We’re always competing, we’re always having fun Linval Joseph Jersey , and we’re always giving each a hard time if we’re not performing at the level we know we can,” Thielen said.If Thielen makes a catch in practice, Diggs will often make it a point to create even more separation from the defender the next time he’s assigned to run the same route. That, in turn, frequently triggers playful yet spirited banter between the two.7<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Upon Further Review: Vikings vs. LionsBrad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports | Brad Rempel“He’s my brother. He’s a guy I love messing with, love having fun with,” Thielen said. “He’s even one of my best friends.”At a position that has long produced some of the NFL’s biggest personalities, in some cases breeding a disruptive brand of selfish and boorish behavior, Thielen and Diggs are the anti-divas. Part of that is a product of their route, no pun intended, to the league.Thielen was the NCAA Division II player who went undrafted and needed a rookie tryout camp to make the team five years ago. He didn’t become a full-time starter until 2016. Diggs was the fifth-round draft pick who was a healthy scratch for his first three NFL games in 2015.“All the cute stuff, like records being broken and stuff like that, you like it and it’s good to hear, but we always want to win,” Diggs said. “We worry about the win column more than anything. So to see good things happen? Yes, it’s exciting. Yes, you congratulate your guys, because guys work extremely hard, you know? So it’s always good stuff http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-jarius-wright-jersey , and it’s good stuff moving in the right direction, but we want to win.”The Vikings (5-3-1) have been doing that more lately after a rough first quarter of the season, entering their bye week a step behind Chicago (5-3) in the NFC North, with a prime-time matchup with the Bears up next on Nov. 18.Cousins has been as advertised, ranking in the top 10 in the league in most of the passing categories, including third in completion percentage despite being prone to a costly turnover here and there. The offensive line has again shown vulnerabilities, though, and the Vikings have averaged the fourth-fewest rushing yards in the league.Thielen and Diggs have been all the more valuable to the Vikings this fall, with an assist by new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo for aggressive and creative play calling that has helped spring them open so much.“He uses his playmakers, and he just lets them play. So I admire that, and I appreciate that,” Diggs said. “As a player you just want to do the best that you can, and it’s good that he plays to your strengths.”The defense, which led the NFL in fewest yards and points allowed last year, was surprisingly one of the biggest problems in September. After that humbling loss in Los Angeles to the Rams dropped the Vikings to 1-2-1, though, coach Mike Zimmer has helped steer the group back into dominant form.With daunting road trips to Chicago, New England and Seattle looming over three of the next four games, the pressure will be on the offense to do its part.“When you look at it glass half-full Womens Matt Wile Jersey , I’m thrilled about our locker room, the chemistry we have on this team, the quality of teammates, the quality of leadership we have in this organization. I think all that has probably even exceeded expectations from me,” Cousins said. “Certainly would have loved to be better than 5-3-1, but I’m grateful we’re not 3-5-1. You can look at it both ways. The point is, we keep saying, everything is in front of us.” John DeFilippo likely won’t have to worry about being repeatedly told to run the ball, if he gets the latest job for which he has interviewed.According to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, the Cardinals have interviewed DeFilippo for their vacant offensive coordinator position.Vikings coach Mike Zimmer fired DeFilippo late in the 2018 season, after multiple public (and, prior to that, private) urgings to commit to the run. That likely won’t happen in Arizona, where new coach Kliff Kingsbury surely wasn’t hired to play ground and pound. (And where Kingsbury will be calling the plays.)Regardless of whether it’s Kingsbury or DeFilippo or some collaboration, the Cardinals have running back David Johnson on the roster, and he’s one of the best running backs in the league. It would be foolish for any team to skew too heavily toward the pass, and perhaps DeFilippo has learned his lesson.The broader question is whether DeFilippo can or will do what he’s told. Far more troubling than an approach to play calling that seemed to be more about showcasing his skills for a head-coaching job of his own than winning games is the fact that he apparently failed or refused to comply with direct orders from his boss, repeatedly. That’s something the Cardinals should fully explore and resolve before offering him a job.

That time arrived on April 26, 2018, when the Browns made quarterback Baker Mayfield the No. 1 overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft.Mayfield went on to throw for a team-rookie-record 3 E.J. Gaines Color Rush Jersey ,725 yards in 2018, which is also the sixth-best mark by a rookie in NFL history. His 27 touchdown passes broke the rookie record of 26, which had been shared by Peyton Manning (1998 with the Indianapolis Colts) and Russell Wilson (2012 with the Seattle Seahawks).As he prepares for his second season running a Browns offense that should be one of the league’s most entertaining, Mayfield is ready to take his place among the league’s best quarterbacks, according to Vinnie Iyer at The Sporting News.Iyer ranked the starting quarterbacks for the league’s 32 teams, and after the standard group that included Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Damarious-Randall-Jersey , New England’s Tom Brady and New Orleans’ Drew Brees, Mayfield checked in at No. 9:A look at the rest of the list highlights some interesting takeaways:Mayfield is ranked ahead of the other starting quarterbacks in the AFC North: Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisber (No. 10), Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson (No. 23) and Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton (No. 26).Mayfield is light years ahead of his fellow rookies from the 2018 NFL Draft: Sam Darnold of the New York Jets (No. 22), Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills (No. 25) and Josh Rosen of the Miami Dolphins (No. 35).Mayfield is ranked higher than several quarterbacks that the Browns were allegedly going to “regret” not drafting or trading for: Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz (No. 11), Houston’s Deshaun Watson (No. 13), Chicago’s Mitchell Trubisky (No. 15) Darren Fells Jersey , San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo (No. 16).It may have taken the Browns longer than some would have liked to finally land their quarterback, but Mayfield quickly rewarded that patience as a rookie.Now with a year of experience, a full season working with head coach Freddie Kitchens, and a high-powered offense at his disposal, Mayfield should continue his ascension up the ranks of the league’s best quarterbacks.

Four days ago https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Johnny-Unitas-Jersey , the Chiefs celebrated a 25th anniversary that they’d rather not commemorate with silver, or anything else.January 8, 1994. Steelers at Chiefs. Wild-card round. With Joe Montana at quarterback, the Chiefs beat the Steelers in overtime, 27-24, at Arrowhead Stadium.Since then, the Chiefs haven’t won a single postseason game at Arrowhead Stadium. And they’ve played six there, losing each one.1995 season, as the No. 1 seed, Jim Harbaugh and the Colts upended the Chiefs at Arrowhead, 10-7.1997 season, again as the No. 1 seed, John Elway and the Broncos won a 14-10 game en route to the franchise’s first Super Bowl win.Six years later, it was the Colts again. This time with Peyton Manning at quarterback and a 38-31 shootout. Seven years after that, the Ravens came to town and dished out a 30-7 defeat.Next, a divisional-round loss to the Steelers in 2016 and a wild-card loss to the Titans in 2017. For the first time ever, the Chiefs will host a postseason game for the third straight year.And the Colts are the perfect team against which to end the streak, or perhaps the perfect team to extend it. The Colts have produced a 4-0 record against the Chiefs in the postseason, and the Colts have as many playoff wins at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs do: Two.This time around, the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes. But they had Mahomes for a handful of high-stakes games this season, against the Patriots, Rams, Chargers, and Seahawks. And despite the best efforts of Mahomes, the Chiefs couldn’t win any of those contests.Today, the Chiefs have a chance to reverse a trio of narratives, relating to their quarter-century of playoff futility at home Jacoby Brissett Jersey , their inability to win big games in 2018, and their 0-for-4 all-time performance against the Colts in a single-elimination setting. Winning any of the AP’s individual NFL awards, from MVP to top rookie, means plenty to players.Being nominated for, no less winning, the Walter Payton Man of the Year award means more.Don’t minimize how proud a guy is when he’s voted one of the prestigious individual awards. It’s a portion of his resume that jumps off the page the way Saquon Barkley hurdles over potential tacklers.But being selected for the Payton award, renamed in 1999 for the great Chicago Bears running back and humanitarian, involves so much more than football achievements.“It is probably one of my greatest accomplishments,” says 2013 winner Charles Tillman, who played 12 seasons at cornerback for the Bears and his final year with the Panthers. “It really shows the true character of a person.“When fans see us, they just assume a lot of times we are just athletes. They don’t know what these men do on their days off during the season, in the community. A lot of players really put their community service in every week of the year. They get their charity work done and their volunteer work.“The Walter Payton Award is about excellence off the field. I am proud to be associated with that award.”Who wouldn’t be? In a time when many NFL players have been criticized or even condemned for their protests of social and racial injustice during the national anthem, many — if not most of them — also have been doing good deeds in their communities. They don’t do it for recognition or applause. As Tillman notes, they do it because they can “shed light on a bigger thing. It’s not just football. It’s about being a good person, serving other people and loving other people.”Unlike in the past, when three finalists were selected before a recipient was chosen, one player from every NFL team is a finalist. All will be recognized and participate in NFL functions during Super Bowl week. The Man of the Year will be revealed at NFL Honors, when The Associated Press’ individual NFL awards are announced Feb. 2 in Atlanta.Five current players have won the award: Drew Brees, Thomas Davis, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning and J.J. Watt, and they wear a Man of the Year patch on their jerseys. All 2018 finalists will wear a Man of the Year helmet decal beginning this week through the end of the season.“It’s a tremendous honor,” Jets offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum says. This week, Beachum surprised Ca’moore Jones, an eighth-grade student at Orange Preparatory Academy in New Jersey, with two Super Bowl tickets. Moore was nominated by his teacher, Glenn Gamble Reggie Wayne Color Rush Jersey , for his performance and growth with the Character Playbook course that is embraced by the NFL.“Just the name Walter Payton, he’s the gold standard,” Beachum said. “What he did off the field and on the field, his excellence is bar none, top in history. So to be mentioned in the same name and the same breath as him, it’s truly humbling.”Humbling is an appropriate word because the award finalists often feel that sensation during their community work.“I’ve been blessed to play in this league for 13 years and to be a part of some really good seasons,” says Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth, who is heavily involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “But making a difference in someone’s life will go beyond football any day of the week. It’s not just about the game, it’s about the opportunity to bring people together. When I look back and think about my NFL career, the time spent out in the community giving back to people in need will always be the most touching to me.”Adds Colts DE Jabaal Sheard: “With our jobs as NFL players comes a huge platform to brighten and improve the lives of others, and that’s what I strive to do every day.”Tillman knows firsthand how kind and giving people can be. His own family was helped in 2008 when his infant daughter Tiana needed a heart transplant. Magali Garcia, the mother of 9-week-old Armando, who died in a Minnesota hospital, offered her son’s heart.To Tillman, Magali Garcia is a hero, not him. She is what the Payton award is all about.“When my daughter needed a new heart, another person stepped up and decided to take a bad situation and turn it into a success story,” Tillman says. “She not only blessed my family but other families with her choice.“For all we do in our foundation, it is a great blessing for what this woman did for her son. Magali, she is the one who actually is blessing those people, blesses them every day, and doesn’t even know it. She served my family and a lot of families and she made an amazing choice. A tough decision. I think about her son a lot and I truly am sorry. She is a part of my family, and for us to have this story that has bonded us, and this connection, and to turn that negative into something positive by blessing other people … I get great satisfaction in that.”So when the NFL Honors program is televised the night before the Super Bowl, pay special attention to the names below. Maybe stand up and give them an ovation for the truly special things they do:Arizona Cardinals: Antoine BetheaAtlanta Falcons: Grady JarrettBaltimore Ravens: Brandon CarrBuffalo Bills: Lorenzo AlexanderCarolina Panthers: Julius PeppersChicago Bears: Trey BurtonCincinnati Bengals: Carlos DunlapCleveland Browns: Christian KirkseyDallas Cowboys: Dak PrescottDenver Broncos: Von MillerDetroit Lions: Matthew StaffordGreen Bay Packers: Kenny ClarkHouston Texans: Whitney MercilusIndianapolis Colts: Jabaal SheardJacksonville Jaguars: Blake BortlesKansas City Chiefs: Dustin ColquittLos Angeles Chargers: Corey LiugetLos Angeles Rams: Andrew WhitworthMiami Dolphins: Kenny StillsMinnesota Vikings: Kyle RudolphNew England Patriots: Devin McCourtyNew Orleans Saints: Mark IngramNew York Giants: Michael ThomasNew York Jets: Kelvin BeachumOakland Raiders: Marshawn LynchPhiladelphia Eagles: Chris LongPittsburgh Steelers: Cameron HeywardSan Francisco 49ers: Robbie GouldSeattle Seahawks: K.J.

against the Packers and they scored it in a very familiar way.Jared Goff hit running back Todd Gurley for a 30-yard touchdown pass that put the Rams up 14-13 in the third quarter. It’s the 11th straight game with a touchdown for Gurley and that ties a franchise record set by Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch. Gurley then added a two-point conversion to stretch the lead to three points.Gurley and the Rams offense got off to a slow start against the Packers on Sunday J’Mon Moore Jersey , but they’ve scored touchdowns on two of their last three possessions. The Packers haven’t scored a touchdown since the first quarter and Aaron Donald‘s third-down sack earlier in the quarter meant the Packers had to settle for Mason Crosby‘s second field goal of the afternoon on their first drive of the second half.The second drive ended with a punt, which means the Rams are now in position to add to a lead it took them longer than usual to get. It’s Hockenson’s and Fant’s world at tight end this year, and everyone else is just living in it."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCSTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Combine Results: Iowa tight ends dominate the position workoutsBrian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsIf the two Iowa Hawkeyes tight ends are not the first two players at their position off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft, it will be a major surprise. Both Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson staked their claim as the top two tight ends on Saturday at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , with each player living up to the hype that has been coming their way since the conclusion of the college football season.Hockenson is currently seen as the better overall prospect, due to superior blocking abilities. Still, his athletic ability left nothing to be desired. At 6-foot-4 3鈦? and 251 pounds, Hockenson’s 4.70-second time in the 40-yard dash is very good. The same goes for his 37.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-3 broad jump. However JK Scott Jersey , his agility numbers are the equal of many of the better wide receivers in this year’s draft class, with a 7.02-second time in the 3-cone drill and a short shuttle time of 4.18.Fant, meanwhile, is drawing praise as a move tight end who will primarily contribute in the passing game. And for as impressive as Hockenson’s workout was Kevin King Jersey , Fant’s testing numbers were simply absurd. 6-foot-4, 250-pounders rarely run a 4.50-second 40, and they almost never put up a 3-cone time of 6.81 seconds. Both of those numbers are in the 95th percentile or above for tight ends, as were his numbers in the vertical (39 1鈦? inches) and broad jump (10-foot-7).Meanwhile Josh Jones Jersey , LSU’s Foster Moreau and Alabama’s Irv Smith both had solid workouts as well, though not quite as impressive as the two Iowa players’. There should be plenty of intriguing options for the Green Bay Packers if they choose to go draft a tight end early in the 2019 NFL Draft.TEs - 2019 CombinePlayerPositionCollegeHeightWeightArmHandBench40VertBroad3-Cone20 ShuttlePlayerPositionCollegeHeightWeightArmHandBench40VertBroad3-Cone20 Shuttle

"Good morning Womens Lac Edwards Jersey , Jet fans! I hope everyone’s having a great start to their day. Cleveland Browns RB Duke Johnson has formally requested a trade from the team, and reports indicate the Jets are among many teams inquiring about the great receiving RB. A tandem of Bell and Johnson would cause opposing DC’s to have a fit. It would definitely make for some interesting offensive packages and I would love the mismatches presented. The Jets also brought in former Bengals OT Andre Smith for a visit. The Jets need depth along the line, this shows the team is at least attempting to bring people in after disappointing many during the FA period. In more pertinent Jets news, ERFA’s Frankie Luvu (LB) and RB De’Angelo Henderson have re-signed with the team. I like Frankie as competition and depth in the front 7, but I’m not sure why the Jets offered a contract to Henderson. He seems bound to be an obvious cut, but I like to root for the underdog so I hope he can find somewhere to stick around. With that said here are your links to the team this Wednesday.Robby Sabo - New York Jets sign ERFA OLB Frankie Luvu, RB De'Angelo HendersonRobby Sabo - New York Jets are kicking the tires on FA OT Andre Smith (Report)Sam Nuemann - Jets host former Bengals OT Andre Smith for visitSpencer Aber - NFL announces Jets’ offseason workout datesTyler Greenawalt - Jets holding off on beginning of offseason workout programsEthan Greenberg - Adam Gase Saw ‘A Lot of Good Tape’ from This JetScott Thompson - Do Jets have a problem with Jamison Crowder joining Quincy Enunwa?Robby Sabo - New York Jets' personnel configuration for every 3-4 & 4-3 defensive setGeoff Magliocchetti - The New York Jets & Kelechi Osemele: Partners in rebuildingJaclyn Hendricks - Le'Veon Bell calls out Keenan Allen after music critiqueSpencer Aber - Keenan Allen calls Jets RB Le’Veon Bell’s music trashDarryl Slater - NFL Draft 2019: Scouting reports, analysis for Jets’ best cornerback options | Julian Love http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-sam-darnold-jersey , Deandre Baker, Trayvon Mullen, moreMatt Stypulkoski - NFL mock draft 2019: Blueprint for how Jets could fill all their major holes within opening 4 roundsDeon Williams - 2019 NFL draft: Breaking down Jets' potential 1st-round targetsMichael Nania - New York Jets 2019 NFL Draft: Potential Round 1 trading partnersBrandon Lee Gowton - 2019 NFL Mock Draft: New York Jets nab Quinnen WilliamsLuke Easterling - Jets' new uniforms: Check out these fan concept designsMike Kaye - The end for AAF? Alliance of American Football to suspend football operations (UPDATE)Here are your missed connections from yesterday.Here’s the thread about nothing, the super chilled version.I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful rest of the day! As the Jets search for a new General Manager, an important dynamic hovers over the franchise.Christopher Johnson has managed the team in the absence of his brother, Woody, who serves as the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. At some point, Woody Johnson won’t be serving in that role. Thus Tarell Basham Jersey , at some point, Woody will be back.So what happens when Woody comes home, whenever that may be?Unless he’s comfortable with assuming an Owner Emeritus role and letting Christopher continue to run the team, Woody may decide sooner or later (or sooner than later) that he’s not comfortable with the personalities who are managing the team, whoever they may be at the time. The personalities managing the team likewise may not be comfortable with him.Of course, it also could work out just fine, too. But it definitely will rearrange the franchise’s furniture, and not everyone may be thrilled with the new positioning of the couch and chairs.The best way to ensure that Woody won’t make wholesale changes (if he returns within the next year or two) would be for the new power structure Womens Rashard Robinson Jersey , however it ends up, to win as many games as possible. And through all the recent dysfunction, that could happen. The hay that will become the 2019 roster essentially is in the barn, and the development of second-year quarterback Sam Darnold will be much more relevant to the team’s fortunes than the churning of the bottom of the 90-man roster through Labor Day weekend and, at that point, the refinement to 53 (35-40 of them will be obvious).If coach Adam Gase can hit the ground sprinting with Darnold and Le'Veon Bell fueling the offense and a defense that will experience a major kick in the ass from coordinator Gregg Williams, the Jets could thrive quickly. And that would go a long way toward making both/either Johnson far more inclined to stay the course — even if Woody ends up being far less enamored personally with Adam Gase than Woody was with Rex Ryan.
