Many observers noted that the offense appeared out of sync without Samuel in the fold and, even if he isn't at full strength Sunday, his presence as a decoy of sorts will force the Detroit defense to account for him and perhaps create opportunities for other playmakers.Despite mi sing two regular-season games because of injuries, the fifth-year pro still managed one of his most productive seasons. The South Carolina product caught 60 pa ses for 892 yards and seven touchdowns. He also rushed for 225 yards, the second-highest total in his career, while adding five touchdowns on the ground.. There are many motivational factors for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who has admitted he'd like to silence doubters who believe he will come up short on the big stage. Goff was memorably traded by the Los Angeles Rams after a Super Bowl appearance following the 2018 season in a package deal for Matthew Stafford, who won a championship in his first year under center in Los Angeles.Meanwhile, Goff went 4-16-1 in his first 21 starts with Detroit, and many observers wondered whether his days as an NFL starter were limited. But Lions coach Dan Campbell has insisted he believes Goff is talented enough to lead the Lions to OJ Mayo Jersey a Super Bowl and the signal-caller rewarded that faith with perhaps his best overall season. What's more, Goff's return to his Bay Area roots can't be understated. He was a high school star near San Francisco before becoming the top overall pick in the NFL Draft after excelling as a college quarterback for the California Golden Bears.

Defensive coordinator Alan Williams in September, citing health and family i sues, forcing Eberflus to oversee that side of the ball for the remainder of 2023.Getsy's exit marks the Bears' most drastic offensive staffing change since 2022, when Eberflus took over as head coach. It comes weeks after Chicago in Joe Kelly Jersey the Andrew Benintendi Jersey 2024 , which could be used to , and amid rampant speculation about the future of current QB , a first-round selection in 2021.Eberflus himself is safe from the chopping block, , and is set to return for a third season after the team finished 7-10 this year. Team president Kevin Warren was about the future of the staff prior to the Bears' regular-season finale, saying club leadership is "continually" evaluating "big-picture" plans. However, Eberflus will again lead Chicago in 2024. In two years with Getsy as the OC, the Bears Luis Tiant Jersey failed to register better than a top-15 finish, ranking 31st in points scored in 2022 before improving to 19th in Carl Yastrzemski Jersey 2023. Fields found mixed results as his QB, thriving as a runner and gradually improving as a pa ser but also mi sing time due to injury and struggling to control the ball.

Last season, the had one of the NFL's more effective two-man backfields. Ozzie Newsome Jersey Veteran and rookie split snaps nearly equally on a weekly basis, and by the end of the season, they each had exactly 203 carries, with Gordon averaging 4.5 yards a pop and Williams gaining 4.4 per tote. Williams had a bit more receiving volume with 43 catches to Gordon's 28, but Gordon had the edge in total touchdowns, scoring 10 times to Rashard Higgins Jersey Williams' seven.The arrangement worked fairly well in 2021, but going into 2022, people are generally more excited about Williams than they are Gordon. Williams is headed into his second NFL season and just turned 22 years old, while Gordon is headed into Year 8 and recently turned 29, so it's understandable that one would generate more buzz than the other.Gordon is conscious of the disconnect, he said at minicamp this week, but he's also not content to Jarvis Landry Jersey fade into the background behind Williams.Gordon said he knows people "want me to take a back seat," according to , but noted that he told general manager George Paton, "I'm not going to lay down" and let Williams run away with the top running back job under new coach Nathaniel Hackett. Melvin Gordon RB Att203Yds918TD8FL3 The Broncos offense should find more succe s in Joe Thomas Jersey 2022 than it did a year ago, with Hackett and Justin Outten at the helm and under center rather than or . That should mean even more opportunities for Gordon and/or Williams to carry Odell Beckham Jr. Jersey the rock (the Broncos are more likely to play with a lead this year than a year ago), and also to find themselves in the end zone. The balance might tip a bit more in the second-year back's direction this year, but Gordon is still likely to remain a factor.
We've rounded the halfway mark and we're headed for home or whatever you want to call the stretch run of the season. It's fascinating to see the playoff standings right now, with things mostly sitting pretty chalky in terms of who we expected to see in the postseason before the season. That never happens in the and we're somehow getting it here! There's a ton of parity as usual, but the top and bottom of the league are starting to separate pretty aggre sively -- the bad teams in the NFL are REALLY bad.Let's try and pick on a couple of Kyle Long Jersey them as part of the best bets below.Andy Reid/off the bye. Sing that me s on repeat and don't overthink this game. The Eagles are a great football team and do a lot of stuff that will make life difficult for Kansas City but if you're giving me Andy Reid/off the bye at le s than a field goal I'm taking it every single time. Especially when he's playing his old team and even more especially when knows they could very well see them in the again and doesn't want to give them any hint at being able to emerge victorious.This is James Daniels Jersey a ma sive spread and a bit aggre sive fading a Las Vegas team that's been quite feisty the last two weeks under Antonio Pierce. However, that feisty team unleashed against two very bad teams in the and . The Giants are either the worst or second-worst team in profe sional football and the Jets offense is so bad it lets anyone hang around. The Dolphins offense? It's not bad! might get his here early but the Raiders will have to pa s a ton to keep up which means under a ton of pre sure for the whole second half against a Vic Fangio defense. also destroys former division opponents, combining for 20 catches, 372 yards and three touchdowns in earth-scorching performances against the and already this year. He's going to dismantle this Raiders defense. The formula for Los Angeles is as simple as this: when plays, this team is good. When he doesn't, this team is bad. Stafford is back now and the Mike Ditka Jersey Rams are a one-point dog at home to a very good Seahawks team, but a Seahawks team that the Rams have been good against since Sean McVay took over. is still Aaron Donald and he'll create problems for . Stafford and McVay know this game is critical to keeping any playoff hopes alive. The Seahawks, at 6-3, look locked into a playoff spot. The Rams, at 3-6, are being counted out. But the Rams have 4-5 very winnable games left on their schedule. If they can pull off a small upset at home in Week 11, the postseason is very much back on the table.Speaking of sneaky playoff teams ... the Broncos are +550 to make the postseason. I'm not saying this is an easy pathway by ANY stretch, because the AFC is looking like a gauntlet. And the Broncos are still in the basement of their own division, with a long way to go before they're in the mix in the postseason. They have six "in-the-hunt" teams to crawl over before they even get to sniff a wild card spot. But their four wins are interesting -- they Chase Daniel Jersey beat a bad Chicago team miraculously, they snuffed out a terrible team ... and then they beat the Chiefs and sandwiching their bye week over the last three weeks. Quite the paradox! The defense has turned things around in the last month and Sean Payton is suddenly getting the most out of . I think Denver keeps it rolling against the Cinderella story. Speaking of that terrible Packers team ... I'm laying the points with the Chargers in this one, even though my Spidey Sense is tingling a bit Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey in the other direction. Green Bay is AWFUL. doesn't look good, even though this disaster is not entirely his fault. The defense features nine first-round picks and it's been horrendous for the last half-decade. Joe Barry ain't it, guys. The focus will be Love because he replaced , he was a first-round pick, they traded up for him, they gave him an extension, etc., etc. But the reality is it would require an MVP effort from the quarterback for this team to be good. The lo s of Rodgers should be more apparent than ever in Green Bay. The Chargers are desperate and will score enough to steal a cover here.
Some of the 2023 offseason's biggest headlines have had to do with star quarterbacks netting monster deals, with the and locking up and , respectively. The summer could be buoyed by similar matters, with other QBs like and angling for their own extensions. It speaks to an annual reality for front offices: Production demands compensation, even if certain positions as they once were.So which players are ripe for pay raises, either now or down the road? Here's a look at some of the biggest bargains at select premium positions -- quarterback, wide receiver, left tackle, pa s rusher and cornerback -- entering the 2023 campaign:Top AAV at position: $52 million KC QB #15 Contract: 10 years, $450M | Per Year: $45M | Positional Rank: 7th Is it really po sible for the man with the biggest contract in NFL history to be underpaid? If his name is , then yes. At just 27, the star is already a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame, with two titles, two NFL MVPs, an 11-3 playoff record and 192 touchdown pa ses in just five full years as a starter. Much like of yesteryear, anytime he's not far and away the highest-paid QB in the NFL, he qualifies as a bargain. GB QB #10 Contract: 1 year, $13.5M | Per Year: $13.5M | Positional Rank: 18th Technically, the former first-round pick is due just $4.4M in 2023, but he signed his one-year extension with $13.5M guaranteed after ' trade to Jorge De La Rosa Jersey the . Obviously he's yet to prove himself as a full-timer, but he's still barely owed much more per year than this year's top rookies, like No. 1 pick . If his brief 2022 showings were any indication, his energetic arm should help bring the offense back to life, and he'll be due an even bigger raise as an emergent 24-year-old QB1. CIN QB #9 Contract: 4 years, $36.2M | Per Year: $9M | Positional Rank: 20th Three years into his NFL career, the LSU product has already established himself as the chief rival to the league's chief superstar in Patrick Mahomes. With two AFC title bids and arguably the cleanest feel for precision pocket-pa sing among his peers, Burrow is well on his way to a record extension that should position him atop the QB market for the foreseeable future. LAC QB #10 Contract: 4 years, $26.6M | Per Year: $6.6M | Positional Rank: 27th Another young star who's long since outperformed his rookie deal, Herbert lacks the big-game resume of Burrow, but he's been almost equally as productive operating from the pocket, totaling 94 pa sing Ketel Marte Jersey TDs to just 35 INTs -- the sixth-best TD:INT ratio in NFL history to this point -- as the face of the . It's a matter of when, not if, he'll cash in accordingly.Top AAV at position: $30 million TB WR #13 Contract: 5 years, $82.5M | Per Year: $16.5M | Positional Rank: 14th Going on 30, he may not be nearly as flashy as his younger, more explosive counterparts, but the longtime No. 1 has done nothing but produce as a steady downfield target, with nine straight 1,000-yard seasons. Even without a stable Tom Brady in 2022, he averaged nearly 15 yards per catch, proving he's got gas in the tank. CIN WR #1 Contract: 4 years, $30.8M | Per Year: $7.7M | Positional Rank: 26th Even while mi sing five games due to injury in 2022, Joe Burrow's top target has racked up 2,500 yards and 22 TDs in his first two NFL seasons, confirming himself as one of the league's best home-run hitters out wide. MIA WR #17 Contract: 4 years, $27.1M | Per Year: $6.8M | Positional Rank: 30th Waddle's video-game production through just two seasons (179 catches for 2,371 yards) is even more impre sive considering he's played multiple roles -- high-volume, short-yardage target and deep-ball specialist -- amid QB shuffling. The kicker: He'll makes le s on his entire rookie deal than teammate is owed per year. MIN WR #18 Contract: 4 years, $13.1M | Per Year: $3.3M | Positional Rank: 53rd If anyone has a case to become the NFL's highest-paid non-QB, it's probably "Jets," who's been a bona fide No. 1 since Day 1 but now deserves MVP consideration as the ' offensive catalyst. Fresh off a 1,800-yard season with more room for growth, Jefferson is smooth and self-motivated, and his pocketbook should soon confirm him as a face of the league. For now, he technically earns le s per year than teammates and , who's yet to take an NFL snap. Top AAV at position: $25 million PHI OT #68 Contract: 4 years, $64M | Per Year: $16M | Positional Rank: 11th The big-bodied Australian isn't a perfect blind-side blocker, but Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was ahead of the curve extending him, ensuring Jalen Hurts would have a ma sive, internally beloved bodyguard for the team's recent run. At just 26, with an unteachable frame and athleticism, he's still got room to grow. NYG OT #78 Contract: 4 years, $32.3M | Per Year: $8.1M | Positional Rank: 19th The former top-five pick was a pleasant surprise in 2022, paving the way for rebound seasons from both and . At 24, he might be one of the most promising building blocks in New York under Brian Daboll and their upstart regime. LAC OT #70 Contract: 4 years, $16.6M | Per Year: $4.2M | Positional Rank: 28th An injury cost him all but three games in 2022, raising fair concern about his condition upon return. But he was a legit Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate the year prior, helping Justin Herbert stay upright with elite pa s protection. Provided he's back to form this season, he could be pivotal to aiding Herbert's next step as a franchise QB Caleb Joseph Jersey . MIN OT #71 Contract: 4 years, $13.3M | Per Year: $3.4M | Positional Rank: 32nd Like , the former first-rounder took a big leap in 2022, proving a reliable anchor for one of the NFL's more explosive offenses. His pa s pro helped fuel the Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson connection that got Minnesota to a surprising 13 wins.Top AAV at position: $28 million PHI OLB #7 Contract: 3 years, $45M | Per Year: $15M | Positional Rank: T-10th The Eagles gambled that Reddick would build on his double-digit sack marks with the and , and he did a lot more than that, terrorizing QBs as a clutch Defensive Player of the Year candidate during a title bid. With 39.5 sacks and 60 QB hits the last three years, he might still be one of the most underrated stand-up edge rushers in the NFL. CIN DE #91 Contract: 4 years, $60M | Per Year: $15M | Positional Rank: T-10th Not di similar to Reddick in Philly, Hendrickson has more than lived up to the hype as an ascending free-agent acquisition, propelling Cincinnati's front with persistent QB pre sure since leaving the . His 22 sacks and 51 QB hits the last two years have played an underrated role in the ' AFC contention, making him a relative steal for his price tag. Bryce Jarvis Jersey SF DE #97 Contract: 4 years, $33.6M | Per Year: $8.4M | Positional Rank: 25th Even losing almost a full season due to injury, he's proven to be maybe the NFL's best, most relentle s pa s rusher this side of , who happens to own the biggest contract of anyone at the position. Since returning from his 2020 ACL tear, the former first-rounder has totaled 34 sacks and 80 QB hits, all while on an affordable rookie deal. PIT LB #56 Contract: 4 years, $4.3M | Per Year: $1.1M | Positional Rank: N/A In three years, the former third-rounder has gone from serviceable reserve to disruptive T.J. Watt sidekick, excelling while replacing the injured All-Pro in 2022, to the tune of 14. Matt Szczur Jersey 5 sacks. He may be best suited as a No. 2, but that still constitutes a new deal in Pittsburgh, where the value defensive difference-making more than most.Top AAV at position: $21 million NYJ CB #1 Contract: 4 years, $33.5M | Per Year: $8.4M | Positional Rank: 21st The shutdown youngster will have to wait to get paid, entering just his second NFL season, but after an unusually calm and collected debut for a stout Jets "D," he's already on his way to stardom. It took mere months for new teammate Aaron Rodgers to float him as the league's new top cover man, which is high praise considering Rodgers played alongside . PIT CB #20 Contract: 2 years, $14M | Per Year: $7M | Positional Rank: 27th Entering his age-33 season, the longtime Cardinals star isn't nece sarily a lockdown starter anymore, but his two-year Vikings run proved he's still got timely ball skills. Now alongside , he's primed to be a steal of a rental in Steel City. DEN CB #2 Contract: 4 years, $20.9M | Per Year: $5.2M | Positional Rank: 30th Halfway through his rookie deal, Surtain is already in contention for best young corner in the game, rivaled only perhaps by the others on this list. Even as Denver has struggled to make serious noise, he's been a steady hand in their secondary. DAL CB #7 Contract: 4 years, $9.2M | Per Year: $1.6M | Positional Rank: N/A If Gardner and Surtain are virtual locks to parlay early-career dominance into big deals, Diggs might enjoy the biggest financial leap, considering he's playing on a second-round salary. Though mercurial in coverage at times, he's been a true ball hawk, and turnovers pay. Seventeen picks and 49 pa s deflections in just three years means this man stays around the rock.
On Tuesday, the they had signed free agent wide receiver . However, Dan Campbell and Co. will not Semyon Varlamov Jersey be using the 28-year-old in his old position, as Detroit is going to give him a shot at tight end.Funche s last took an NFL regular-season snap in Week 1 Rob Ramage Jersey of the 2019 season as a member of the .

"It's gonna take 10 or 11 wins to win that division."Wilson can't bring himself to maintain hope in the Chargers, echoing the common sentiment that Brandon Staley "hasn't figured it out" as the leader of a team with an elite quarterback and plenty of other talent.Catch the full episode (and subscribe for all kinds of daily NFL talk) .

The and both enjoyed a Charles Barkley Jersey Week 14 bye leading into what is poised to be a pivotal matchup on Saturday night. New England finds itself still atop the AFC as the No. 1 seed entering Week 15 but will need to hold serve in the conference as two other squads sit at 9-4 on the year. Meanwhile, the Colts are the No. 6 seed in the current playoff picture, but margins are razor-thin with five teams currently at 7-6. While we wait for this game to kick off, let this be your preview for what's to come. Below, we'll tell you how you can watch this rare Saturday game unfold, reveal our keys to the game, and make our prediction for how we see this shaking out.Date:Saturday, Dec. 18 |Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis, Indiana)TV:NFL Network|Stream:fuboTV ()Follow:Odds:Colts -2.5, O/U 45.5Who can win the turnover battle?Both the Patriots and Colts have a knack for creating turnovers. Indianapolis is first in the NFL in opponent turnovers (29) this season while New Allen Iverson Jersey England is tied for third (26). Not only are both of these teams snatching the football away from the opposing offense, but they are also capitalizing off them with points. The Colts (+62) and Patriots (+31) rank second and seventh respectively in points off turnover margin this season. Meanwhile, both of these teams have turned Joel Embiid Jersey the ball over just 16 times this season (tied for the 11th-fewest in the NFL). Can the Patriots slow down ?Jonathan Taylor entering this game as the NFL's rushing yards and rushing touchdowns leader, which could pose a problem for New England. While the Patriots defense has largely been strong this season, stopping the run has been one of their weak points. Entering Week 15, New England is allowing 3.2 yards post-contact per rush, which is the most in the NFL. Taylor is averaging 3.7 yards post-contact per rush this season (fourth-most among backs with at least 100 rushes). vs. Indy's zone defenseThe Colts have lined up in zone coverage in 72% of their defensive snaps this season (eighth- Jahlil Okafor Jersey highest rate in the NFL). That doesn't trend too favorably for the Patriots rookie quarterback, who hasn't had much succe s against zone coverage this season. Of 32 qualified quarterbacks, Jones is 24th in yards per completion, 29th in touchdowns per attempt, and 27th in sack percentage. The Colts are a 2.5-point favorite in this game and do present a strong matchup against New England. That said, Bill Belichick is notorious for being able to take away an offense's go-to weapon and force Wilt Chamberlain Jersey them to win another way. If he succe sfully takes away or limited Jonathan Taylor, it's hard to imagine being able to throw his way to victory against a New England pa s defense that ranks No. 3 in the NFL in DVOA. As for the betting trends, the Patriots are 7-0 ATS over this winning streak and are also 6-1 ATS in their last seven games off the bye. The Colts are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. Pick: Patriots 24, Colts 21

His extension comes in the wake of a busy 2022 offseason that saw both trades and free agency reset the WR Malik Beasley Jersey market in a big way.With that in mind, here's an updated look at the highest-paid receivers in the game, as well as a preview of which wideouts could be next to secure a major payday:Note: The following chart depicts players' newest-signed contracts or extensions -- e sentially the "new money" remaining on their current deals.

This simply means that, while Hill will officially average $30 million per year from now until the expiration of his deal, his contract signed with Ricky Rubio Jersey Miami, which runs from 2023-2027, will make him the game's highest-paid WR $30M per year.

Who's PlayingLos Angeles @ HoustonCurrent Records: Los Angeles 6-1; Houston 1-6What to KnowThe Los Angeles Rams will head out on the road to face off against the Houston Texans at 1 p.m. ET Andre Burakovsky Jersey Sunday at NRG Stadium. Los Angeles will be strutting in after a win while Houston will be stumbling in from a lo s. The Rams beat the Detroit Lions 28-19 last week. Los Angeles' WR did his thing and caught ten pa ses for two TDs and 156 yards. Meanwhile, Houston was expected to have a tough go of it last week, and, well, they did. Mike Gartner Jersey They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 31-5 punch to the gut against the Arizona Cardinals. QB had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he fumbled the ball once with only 4.22 yards per pa sing attempt. Los Angeles is the favorite in this one, with an expected 16-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the Matt Niskanen Jersey spread this season. The Rams' victory brought them up to 6-1 while the Texans' defeat pulled them down to a reciprocal 1-6. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Los Angeles ranks third in the league when it comes to pa sing touchdowns allowed, with only seven on the season.

With just two weeks left in the NFL season, the have a chance to do something no team has done in more than two decades. If things work out in their favor, the Seahawks could become the first team since 2000 to end the year with a playoff berth AND a top-three pick in the NFL Draft.The Seahawks are set up so well in the NFL Draft thanks to the trade, which has worked out extremely well for the Seahawks, but not so well for the . When the Seahawks , they received two first-round picks (2022, 2023) as part of the package along with two second-round picks (2022, 2023), a 2022 fifth-round pick and multiple players Myles Garrett Jersey (, , ).The 2023 first-round pick is proving to be a big one right now. If the season ended today, the Seahawks would be getting the third Kareem Hunt Jersey overall pick from the Broncos, who are currently 4-11.If that ends up being the pick, the Seahawks would certainly be fine with that, but the crazy thing is that there's a chance Seattle could end up picking even higher. The Broncos close the season with games against the and , and if they were to lose both of those games, there's a chance that the Seahawks could get the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. For that to happen, the would have to win both of their remaining games (, ) and the would have to win at least one of their two remaining games (, ).As for the playoffs, the 7-8 Seahawks aren Damarious Randall Jersey 't in a great spot, but they're still very much alive. To make the postseason, they need to win their final two games and then have the and each lose at least one of their two remaining games (There are other routes to the playoffs, but that's the simplest one). Getting to the playoffs in a season where you also land a top-three pick is almost unheard of. The last time it happened came in 1999-2000 with Washington. During the 1999 season, Washington got into the playoffs by winning the NFC East with a 10-6 record. As for the draft, Washington actually had THREE first-round picks the following offseason. Washington Ricardo Louis Jersey went into the 2000 NFL Draft with the second overall pick, the 12th overall pick and the 24th overall pick.Like the Seahawks, Washington landed its higher picks through trades. Washington Sean Gilbert to Carolina in April 1998. As for the second overall pick, they got that during the 1999 draft when the decided to trade up to the fifth spot to land Ricky Williams. In exchange for giving up the fifth overall pick, the Saints sent eight picks to Washington, including their first-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-round selections in 1999 along with their first-round and third Antonio Callaway Jersey -rounder in 2000.The Saints ended up finishing the 1999 season at 3-13, which gave Washington the second-overall pick in 2000, a pick that was used on LaVar Arrington. Washington also ended up landing the third-overall pick in 2000 after trading its two leftover first-round picks (12th and 24th) and two other picks to San Francisco. With the third-overall spot, the team ended up selecting offensive tackle Chris Samuels. What this all means is that by the end of the season, the Seahawks could find themselves in a spot that few NFL teams have ever been in. If you're wondering what the Seahawks might do if they get a top-three pick, you .
The may start rookie at left tackle in the wake of injury, but that didn't stop the Tony Gonzalez Jersey club from looking for more depth at the position. After trimming down the roster to 53 players on Tuesday, Dallas was impre sed enough with their visit from offensive tackle -- signing the 40-year-old to a one-year deal Monday, .Peters already underwent a physical and had a productive meeting with team officials Friday, . Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was also in the meeting.Peters spent the 2021 season in Chicago as a member of the Chicago Bears and started in all 15 of his games played for the franchise. Before that, he played the previous 11 seasons for the where he was named to seven Pro Bowls and was named an All-Pro four times.However, Peters Damien Wilson Jersey is a bit away from his prime, Armani Watts Jersey so Dallas would hardly be getting that level of a player. Peters becomes the second-oldest player in the NFL -- only trailing . SEA OT #70 Again, Smith appears to be the man tapped to be Dallas' left tackle to begin the year after Tyron went down with an avulsion fracture of the knee and. Initially, the rookie first-round pick was set to start at left guard and develop as the po sible left tackle of the future. Jerry Jones confirmed this week that it's "safe to say" that Harrison Butker Jersey he'll now be thrust to left tackle to begin his career. That said, it's po sible an addition of Peters could keep Smith on that initial trajectory.Peters will need time to Daniel Sorensen Jersey get up to speed, so Smith will start Week 1 at least. If Peters does go to left tackle, Smith would move back to left guard and Connor McGovern would return to the bench. Regardle s of how this shakes out, Dallas is set to begin the season with three new starters along the offensive line with centerand All-Pro right guardas the lone holdovers.
Shaun Alexander is one of the best running backs we've seen over the past couple decades. Only four that played the position have won NFL MVP since 2000, and Alexander is one of them. The legend racked up 1,958 yards from scrimmage and 28 total touchdowns during the 2005 campaign, winning the MVP voting over the likes of and .Alexander's reign in Seattle lasted eight seasons, and he is still the franchise's leading rusher with 9,429 yards and 100 rushing touchdowns. He took the Seahawks to new heights, carrying the team to the Super Bowl during his MVP campaign after securing the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC with a 13-3 record. This year, he was inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor.Alexander's Seahawks are arguably the biggest surprise of the 2022 NFL season. Despite trading away franchise quarterback this spring, Pete Carroll and currently sit atop the NFC West halfway through the regular season with a Clark Harris Jersey 6-3 record. This week, they take on the in what will be the first NFL game played in Germany. Alexander is in Munich for the event, and he and Buccaneers legend Mike Alstott took some time to visit with U.S. military members, leading them in football drills during the USAA's Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp this week. The Seahawks legend took part in a Q&A with CBS Sports via phone on Wednesday. CBS Sports: Tell me a little bit about this USAA Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp that you're a part of this week. Alexander: Yeah man it's quite an honor. You know I've got military in my family, and the USAA as the Official NFL Salute to Service partner brought me and Mike Alstott here to help give the military guys here just an experience they've never had before. So we are running up through bootcamp, running through NFL combine drills, we are cheering them on and firing them up. Kind of bring the NFL world out here to them and let them know we're thinking about them in every area.How has the experience been in Germany? Have you been there before?I haven't! It's been pretty wild. I'm excited for us to not only be here with the troops, but to go eat some food and you know, just seeing all the buildings. You think, Munich is 850 years old! There's such great history here, so it's pretty special.I saw you were inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor recently. What was that experience like? That was just amazing. To be put in the ring of honor is just kind of saying, 'We're going to honor you forever.' It was the first time I got to bring me and my bride and our family over there. You know we've had 12 children. My little ones were like, 'Wait a minute dad, you're that guy?' I'm like, 'Yeah, kinda.' I was so honored by the Seahawk nation and so this has C.J. Uzomah Jersey been wonderful out here to represent the Seahawks and then also be a part of sharing the love with the military.Your Seahawks are balling right now. Be honest, are you surprised with their succe s like seemingly all of us, or were you confident in this team despite the Ru sell Wilson trade?No, no, I'm surprised, but I also know the culture that I got to help build. When I got to Seattle back in 2000, it was their 25th year and they had only won in the playoffs three times. Then by the time I leave, we had won the division four years in a row, went to the playoffs five years in a row, been to the Super Bowl, and then we all retire and Pete Carroll and Ru sell Wilson and , they all come in and they do something very similar except they win the Super Bowl. So it was just really cool to see the culture that we helped start, and that they got to carry on, and now here we are with a new generation -- Pete Carroll is still here, and he brings in Geno, Mark Walton Jersey a good quarterback, he brings in , a great tailback. They make a defense that has a similar attitude and next thing you know, the culture's setting in, 'Hey, we are going to win, we're going to play tough defense and great special teams and we're going to control the ball and somebody's going to make a play.' You know we got two fabulous receivers in D.K. Metcalf and , so it's all the makings for them to be good, it's just that no one expected it, not even I! Tell me a little bit about Kenneth Walker. I think he's the Offensive Michael Johnson Jersey Rookie of the Year, from your perspective as a running back, what makes him so good?You know, I agree with you. Offensive Rookie of the Year. I think it's his explosion. He has the ability to get small when he needs to get small, but in one or two steps, he's going at a speed that's very hard to tackle, and he is very explosive on the inside. So it's really technical, but it's like right when one-on-one is about to happen, you'll see him kick into an explosive gear that is just hard to stop. And he makes a lot of plays, and he loves to score touchdowns. So yeah, I think he's the rookie of the year, too.You dominated the NFL during that 2005 MVP season, almost 2,000 yards from scrimmage, 28 touchdowns. What do you remember from that campaign? What fueled you that season? Well you know it was a lot of things. That was the year that I was franchised (tagged), so I knew that was probably going to be my last year playing with the Seahawks, and I just told them, 'Hey, I'll come in if you guys guarantee that I will not be franchised ever again.' So we knew it was 'go big' because this might be it, and it all just came together. The line was amazing, our quarterback was amazing and we just came in with a great groove. We won 13 games that year. My stats were there, but what was really special was I think I sat out of seven full quarters that year because we were winning by so much. And I just thought, 'Gosh. If I had just played in those at all, I would have probably easily rushed for 2,000. I might have broke the record!' It was just a special year.What did you think of Jeff Saturday being named the interim head coach for the ? Would you be interested in an interim position with Seattle if it ever came down to that?I knew Jeff did some stuff with the team so I wouldn't know what goes on to make him become the interim. But the head coach is a special, special person that's gonna pull the team together and get them ready to go play and get the people in the right places. So, the answer is ... maybe haha. But I do love Seattle, and I always want Seattle to get to the spot where they're winning championships. Kind of like we talked about earlier, part of a head coach's job is to create good, healthy culture that could go win. So I know I'd be great at that. But for Jeff, I'm saying good for him. I don't know if he wanted to be interim coaching, but he was always like a consultant for the team and AJ McCarron Jersey that's what the team needs."

The last couple of rounds of the playoffs have not been so kind to us. Some tough beats and overall we have probably failed to take the seriously enough. Well, I can tell you that ends now. The final game of the season in what has been an absolutely epic postseason I suspect will live up to the billing.This is where legacies are made and the outcome of this game will have a significant impact on all of those involved in it. There are no guarantees we see either of these teams back anytime soon, Troy Brown Jr. Jersey although I could make the case for both. That's just the way it goes. That is the finality of the situation and there are any number of future Hall of Famers who would tell you that once they reach this level they thought they would be back time and time again. The reality for most of them is these opportunities were fleeting. And at this moment in time I find myself leaning to the team that probably doesn't even realize the magnitude of what it has accomplished to this point and that in my estimation is most likely to be the looser and more freewheeling Shabazz Napier Jersey of the two teams. Give me the points here, especially since it's more than a field goal. I get that this is the home stadium the Rams play in, but I am le s than convinced that this will be a true home-field advantage and I also think having to play at home ramps up the expectations for an L.A. team that started to look a little desperate and out of sorts in the NFC Championship Game at Robin Lopez Jersey home. I'm not sure that this will bring out the best in the Rams and again I think the Bengals are already the team that's playing with house money.I've been following logic to this point and handicapping these Bengals games and figuring that their protection deficiencies would lead them to lose. However, the officials are letting a lot of things go in this postseason. We're not seeing a ton of holding calls and has proven to be very adept at getting away from pa s-rushers. I actually think the best defensive line he faced was at Tenne see, and I would give them an overall edge over this Rams group -- and even being sacked nine times wasn't enough to put Burrow out in that one. I also expect Bengals coach Zac Taylor to activate his running backs fully and for them to have upwards of 40 touches in this game to mitigate the damage Moritz Wagner Jersey can do, relying on a screen game and keeping the clock going on the ground.The Bengals are going to have to be more efficient in the red zone and I think they can be. I also think from their spread formations they will be able to find some succe Garrison Mathews Jersey s against the Rams group of safeties. Even if does the job on , options will abound for Burrow. All of these games scripts have basically put this thing down to special teams, and I would not bet against the Bengals rookie kicker , nor would I continue to bet against Burrow at this point. The Bengals have something special going on here. The win at Arrowhead will only further their belief and determination and I think they have one more upset in them. Prediction: I say Bengals 31-30.
The will be losing at least one of their starters on the offensive line for the 2022 season, as left guard announced his retirement on Sunday. Just 28 years old, Marpet was named Kevon Looney Jersey to his first Pro Bowl after an impre sive 2021 campaign, where he registered an 84.1 PFF grade while allowing just one sack.This is a shocking development, as Marpet was seemingly just entering his prime. , Marpet made this decision due to concerns for his overall health. He announced his retirement via Instagram, Kevin Durant Jersey thanking everyone who aided him in his profe sional journey.Marpet was drafted in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Hobart College. He stepped in as an immediate starter for the Buccaneers, starting in all 101 of Alen Smailagic Jersey his NFL games played at multiple positions on the inside of the offensive line.Marpet following into retirement turns the offensive line into an area of need for the Buccaneers. Not only do they have to replace Marpet, but center and fellow guard are free agents Stephen Curry Jersey as well. This retirement frees up $10 million in cap space for the Buccaneers, , and they Kent Bazemore Jersey need it. Not only do they have to find a new quarterback, but the Bucs have many important free agents looking for new deals such as , , , , , and .
In August 2022, I wrote a , comparing the two highly coveted quarterback prospects, before their final collegiate seasons.It's time to circle back and run a similar evaluation Paul George Jersey on the first two selections in the 2023 .In my scouting grade book, these are the top three categories (by importance and weight) at the quarterback position: Accuracy, athleticism and arm strength. Let's use those categories while layering in key performance metrics to expand on how each has played to date early in their respective careers.Believe it or not, by the numbers, Young has been more accurate than Stroud entering Week 8. Young's adjusted completion percentage of 75.5% is 17th-best among qualifiers, and Stroud's 72.0% is 28th. While decently telling, that adjusted completion rate always needs additional context. Young's average depth of target (aDOT) is 7.0 yards, and a mere 4.9% of his attempts have been 20 or more yards downfield. Stroud's aDOT is currently 8.6 yards, tied for the 10th-highest in football, and 7.5% of his throws have been "deep" targets.In watching all of Young and Stroud's NFL dropbacks to date, observationally, I cannot confidently say Young's ball placement on all throws, in all situations, has been better the Stroud's. No way. Although the traditional statistics from Stroud right now have given a bit of a false sense of how good he's been individually.Advantage: Push CAR QB #9 CMP%63.2YDs967TD6INT4YD/Att5.31 Based on what they demonstrated in college, this was an easy "Advantage: Young" before their final seasons -- and would've been afterward, too. But -- and this is vital -- Young's athletic gifts appeared to be at their functional limit in the ultra-competitive SEC. What I mean by that is, Young didn't have enough explosivene s and twitch for his mobility, and the creative plays that spawned from it, to be a real weapon once he reached the NFL. And that has been the case early in his debut profe sional season. Young's pre sure-to-sack rate of 19.8% is the 10th-highest among qualifiers. It's been extremely rare to notice when Young has been able to avoid rushers inside or Nerlens Noel Jersey outside the pocket in his first six games with the . He's simply not a tremendous athlete, which quarterbacks e sentially need to be in today's NFL to establish themselves as ad-libbing masters.As for Stroud, who appeared more stiff than Young in college, it's almost as if he's more aware of his athletic deficiencies so he doesn't try to extend plays nearly as often as his contemporary. Beyond that, as a more pure pocket pa ser, Stroud leans on his ability to throw strikes within the confines of the pocket and intended structure of the play more often. His pre sure-to-sack rate is currently lower than Young's at 16.3%.Young is probably more athletic naturally, but when it comes to functional athleticism playing quarterback in the NFL, there doesn't appear to be a difference. Advantage: Push HOU QB #7 CMP%59.6YDs1660TD9INT1YD/Att7.79 Finally, a category with a clear winner. This was the case in college and, unsurprisingly, hasn't changed in the first half of the 2023 NFL season for these two. Stroud has a stronger arm than Young. It's not significantly stronger. But he has a much easier time stretching the field vertically or making those cla sic NFL throws from the far hash to toward the sideline. Young isn't drastically held back by his average-at-best arm. When he's running from pre sure, it certainly doesn't help.Advantage: StroudNo quarterback statistic has stronger predictive powers than clean-pocket play. A quarterback who routinely wins from the pocket, without pre sure around him, typically continues that winning into the future. While Young's been more accurate in these scenarios -- and some of Chris Paul Jersey that has been because of what was mentioned above -- Stroud has been the more confident, needle-moving thrower in when kept clean. But his lead here isn't seismic.When not pre sured, Stroud has a Big-Time Throw rate of 3.8% to a tiny 1.2% Turnover-Worthy Play rate. His yards-per-attempt average is a hefty 9.0, and he has nine touchdowns to one interception. Whether it's been seam strikes to or , or deep overs to or Tank Dell, when protected well, Stroud has done a respectable job generating chunk plays for the offense. Young, on the other hand, has taken a more conservative route. He's been accurate on over 80% of throws in these scenarios, but his aDOT is a miniscule 5.9 yards with a TWP rate (3.0%) higher than his BTT rate (2.3%). I do believe Stroud's offensive scheme and skill-position talent have provided him with noticeably more open James Johnson Jersey looks than Young, which absolutely needs to be considered here.Advantage:StroudWhile not incredibly predictive year over year, in a given season, strong under-pre sure play is undeniably valuable to an offense. In almost every case, rookie quarterbacks battle through major growing pains in this area. And, frankly, Stroud and Young, at their best, have been as expected when dealing with and combatting pre sure.Stroud's yards-per-attempt average of 4.8 ranks 28th in the NFL. Young's is second-to-last. Stroud doesn't have a BTT under pre sure yet but has four TWPs. Young's figures on those categories are two BTTs to three TWPs. While watching their dropbacks, it's been obvious Young has attempted to generate off-structure plays more frequently than Stroud but has largely been ineffective in doing so. Stroud hasn't simply crumbled into a ball when there's been a leak in his offensive line or he's held the ball well beyond 2.5 seconds, yet he hasn't been anywhere close to magical under dure s either. Advantage: PushThe cla sic box score stats would scream that Stroud has Jalen Lecque Jersey been on another planet than Young, and while I'll conclude the Texans quarterback has been comfortably better, those cla sic statistics are slightly misleading as to just Stroud has been to date. Vibe-wise, he has mostly operated the offense like a seasoned veteran.Young and his rebuilding Panthers have showed very few signs of life entering Week 8. It's a real challenge to point to one area in which the No. 1 overall pick has thrived. He's very much looked like a mostly overwhelmed rookie.But, if we're looking at trends, Young started disastrously and had his finest game of the season in the lo s to the before the Week 7 bye. Stroud steadily improved to a relatively high level after a bad NFL debut in Baltimore against a stingy defense yet had his worst effort of the season in Week 6's win over the before Houston's bye. We'll continue to be tracking the first two picks in the 2023 as they venture through the second half of their profe sional seasons.

The former Ohio State standout has been targeted 92 times (12th most in the league) and is well on his way to eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in his rookie season. In a matchup where New Orleans could be trailing early, I am projecting another double-digit target game for Olave on Monday night with seven receptions for close to 100 yards," Kaylor told SportsLine..Kaylor is also targeting another undervalued value who could explode for huge numbers for Monday Night Football.
