The Cowboys are loaded in the offensive line and in the defensive line. Their backups and some players who might not make their 53-player roster already have drawn trade interest from other teams.Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Wednesday the team has received calls from other teams. Some have offered a safety in return Deonte Thompson Color Rush Jersey , knowing the Cowboys didn’t address the strong safety position in the offseason the way they had hoped.“We’ve already started getting a few calls, people needing things and knowing that we might need, thinking we might need a safety. Would we be willing to trade this player for that player?” Jones said during the team’s annual golf tournament at Cowboys Golf Club. “I think this is going to pay off for us. We’re not in any hurry. We feel good about our safety position. I just think we’ve got a good situation. Now we’ve just got to keep working.”The Cowboys didn’t get involved in the bidding for Earl Thomas, and they didn’t draft a safety with a high choice. They did sign George Iloka in free agency and drafted Texas A&M’s Donovan Wilson in the sixth round.Iolka and Wilson will compete with incumbent Jeff Heath to start at strong safety, with Xavier Woods at free safety.“I just think it’s hard to think just anybody’s going to upgrade us there https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Sean-Lee-Jersey ,” Jones said. “[The secondary coaches] really like our situation back there and not just anybody fits, as we all know, with what we’re trying as an organization to get accomplished at that position. A lot of people may say, ‘Well, there’s a safety; there’s this safety; there’s that safety.’ It’s got to be a safety that works for us. We’ll just continue to work through that. We’re not going to be any hurry. We’re comfortable with the guys we have. We know we can go out and play really good defense with the guys we have Tyron Smith Jersey , and it’ll be interesting to see how some of these new guys compete with the older group.” Jason Witten, who has 15 seasons of experience, said last week the 2019 Cowboys roster is “the most talent I’ve seen.”Ezekiel Elliott hasn’t played as long, with 12 fewer seasons. But the Cowboys were the No. 1 seed in the NFC his rookie season of 2016, with seven Pro Bowlers Jason Witten Color Rush Jersey , so it’s not like he has played on untalented teams.The star running back, though, agrees with Witten: The 2019 Cowboys are talented.“I’m just excited about the group of guys we have,” Elliott said Sunday, via Jon Machota of the . “I’m excited about the talent we have on this team. I’m excited about the leadership group we have. I think we have a lot of the right pieces. I think we have a lot of promise for this season.”The Cowboys return all 22 players who started the divisional-round playoff loss to the Rams https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/De … nce-Jersey , and they have center Travis Frederick and Witten coming back. Frederick spent last season recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome, a disorder in which the immune system attacks the body’s nervous system in response to illness, and Witten was in the Monday Night Football booth.The Cowboys also have added Robert Quinn, George Iloka and Randall Cobb.So, on paper Ibraheim Campbell Jersey , it seems the Cowboys do have a lot of the right pieces in place.

The Chicago Bears sat the night out thanks to their acquisition of Pro Bowl pass rusher Khalil Mack, but the other NFC North teams were trying to get the right combination to close the gap between them and the division champs. Here’s what each team did last night. Detroit Lions8th overall - T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa: Detroit hasn’t had the best of luck with drafting tight ends Dion Sims Jersey , but Hockenson has all the tools to be a top flight three down player for years. Green Bay Packers12th overall - Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan: At 6’4”, 277 pounds, with a 4.58 forty yard dash, he has the size https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Jim-Mcmahon-Jersey , strength, and athleticism to become a top tier edge rusher. He had 9.5 sacks in his three year career for the Wolverines. 21st overall - Darnell Savage, S, Maryland: Green Bay sent their first round pick (30th overall) and two fourth round picks (114th and 118th) to the Seattle Seahawks to move up to 21 for the athletic Savage. He should become an instant starter at free safety next to Adiram Amos. Minnesota Vikings18th overall - Garrett Bradbury, C, North Carolina State: Centers aren’t sexy picks Walter Payton Color Rush Jersey , but Bradbury will be an instant starter for the Vikes and help solidify a weakness moving forward.Chicago BearsPhoto by Quinn Harris/Getty Images LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears exercised their fifth-year option on linebacker Leonard Floyd on Wednesday, locking him up through the 2020 season.The move was expected after Floyd played in all 16 regular-season games last season and recorded four sacks, a 19-yard interception return for a touchdown in Week 9 at Buffalo and then added a sack in the wild-card playoff loss to Philadelphia. The Bears were third in the NFL with 50 sacks and ranked No. 1 in a number of categories, including fewest rushing yards allowed (80.0 per game) and fewest points allowed (17.7).Floyd was the No. 9 overall pick in 2016 and is entering his fourth year with the Bears. He was slowed by hamstring and calf issues and twice exited games because of concussions, fueling questions about his durability in an otherwise promising rookie season. He also had surgery on both shoulders at Georgia.The following year Gale Sayers Jersey , Floyd was placed on injured reserve because of a knee injury in November 2017. He has started 38 games and has 15.5 sacks, 23 tackles-for-loss and 32 quarterback hits overall.The Bears also hired Brad Childress as senior offensive assistant, bringing back the former Minnesota Vikings head coach for a second stint in Chicago. Childress was a Bears consultant during the 2018 offseason and training camp, and before that spent five years in Kansas City alongside Matt Nagy, now the Chicago head coach.

The Cowboys surprised a lot of people in the third round Michael Gallup Jersey White , but what did they get?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys 2019 DraftDraft Analysis: Who is new Cowboys OL Connor McGovernNew,7commentsThe Cowboys surprised a lot of people in the third round, but what did they get?CDTShareTweetShareShareDraft Analysis: Who is new Cowboys OL Connor McGovernTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsAfter taking UCF defensive tackle Trysten Hill in the second round, it seemed as if the Cowboys would look to the third round for a safety. But as their pick came on the clock with Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Amani Hooker, among others, still on the board, Dallas made the surprising move to take an offensive lineman in Penn State’s Connor McGovern. Connor McGovern was announced as a guard by former Cowboys offensive lineman Rayfield Wright, and he was rated the tenth best interior lineman in the draft by The Draft Network. Of course, it was on this day of the draft one year ago when the Cowboys drafted another guard named Connor in Connor Williams Dak Prescott Jersey , and naturally the questions started flowing on what this meant for the former Longhorn, but NFL Network’s Jane Slater quickly cleared that up: Keep in mind that current starting right tackle La’el Collins has a contract that is set to expire soon, and Dallas may prefer the idea of letting him walk and moving Williams to tackle, the position he played in college. McGovern himself has experience starting at all three interior line positions, which means he has the versatility Dallas likes from their linemen. At 6’5” and 308 pounds, McGovern comes ready with an NFL frame, and his 28 bench press reps at the combine showed off his strength. McGovern flashed some high level athleticism as a blocker at Penn State, showing off the agility to have success as a pulling blocker. He also has a junkyard dog kind of mentality that makes him well equipped to handle work in the trenches, as McGovern himself indicated:One of the biggest knocks on McGovern is his hand usage Dallas Cowboys Maliek Collins Jersey , as he doesn’t strike with much consistency and can get beat because of it. McGovern has also been criticized for not holding his stance long enough on plays and giving up leverage. Both of these issues can be addressed through coaching, but McGovern has the physical tools to become a starter in the NFL, at least according to Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network: The good thing for Dallas is that they don’t have to start McGovern right away. They can afford to sit him for at least a year, and in that time he provides depth at all three interior line positions, potentially putting Xavier Sua-Filo at risk of making the team. The Cowboys said that McGovern was “by far” the best player left on their draft board at pick number 90, and they had a second-round grade on him. Only time will tell if that’s the case, and this pick was certainly surprising, but keep in mind how good this front office has been at drafting offensive linemen in recent years. Hopefully they got it right again with McGovern.

Scott Linehan was replaced after his scheme was seen as stale and not taking full advantage of the weapons the Cowboys had on offense. The idea being that Moore will take the Cowboys offensive scheme and perform a refresh. We’ve been trying to track that as well as we can, first by projecting some changes we might see based on what Moore ran at Boise State. Then we checked in on some changes with the offensive line and wide recievers at OTAs. Finally, we looked at the different personnel combinations that were being observed at OTAs. Reading through all of that would be an excellent primer as to what is coming from the Cowboys offense.We’d like to add one more look at Moore, this time from another site. Inside the Pylon does excellent work breaking down football strategy, schemes - basically all things that an amateur coach would want to read. They took on Kellen Moore and put together a must read.They include this quote from Moore to set the stage of what should be coming for the Cowboys offense. That goes to all the things we’ve been hearing about pre-snap movement and different formations and personnel groupings. But Moore also says that isn’t just window-dressing with a bunch of people moving around, it has a purpose besides confusion. The Cowboys under Linehan last year were decidedly on the low end of the spectrum when it came down to pre-snap motion, They ranked 24th in the league, far below the average (source Sports Info Solutions). The Inside the Pylon article notes how Moore’s team’s at Boise State were masters of using pre-snap motion to gain an advantage.They continue on with specific examples and visuals from games to make the point. They show examples of how the defense might shift a safety over to the four-receiver side, leaving a wideout in a one-on-one on the other side. Other times a defense will keep the safety to the weak-side White Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , but the tight end would be unaccounted for over the middle of the field. Another Inside the Pylon talking point is about more play-action for Dak Prescott, something everyone has been calling for. In Prescott’s incredible 2016 season, the Cowboys used play-action the fourth-most in the league. There is plenty of play-action in the Boise State playbook and Prescott should see plenty. Here’s a quick look at Prescott’s stats based on play-action splits.They finish up with another item that should be music to Cowboys fans ears. Using Prescott more in the run game, especially in the red zone. They note that at Boise State, sometimes they would sub Moore off the field in the red zone for a more mobile “quarterback” who was more effective in the run game. They won’t need to substitute with Prescott. Inside the Pylon concludes with this.Do yourself a favor, check out the whole article.

ROUND TWO potential draftee has an extremely high ceiling"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Daily Dawg ChowRufio’s PlaybookDT Gerald Willis: How Would Drafting this Player in Round 2 Make the Browns Better? New Womens Jim Brown Jersey ,6commentsROUND TWO potential draftee has an extremely high ceiling EDTShareTweetShareShareDT Gerald Willis: How Would Drafting this Player in Round 2 Make the Browns Better? Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY SportsThe defense should consume much of this year’s draft, and GM John Dorsey needs to make sure each pick is one that will help this team contend for the AFC North Division title. Since the Browns do not possess a first-round pick this year, their selection in the second stanza is critical.Expect one of the draft picks in all likelihood at some point to be spent on a DT for added depth and to work towards a starting position. The Browns have already traded DE Emmanuel Ogbah and realize that a good defense will use multiple defensive linemen continually throughout the game to keep fresh legs on the field. Gerald Willis could very well be that player and should be available in Round 2 with pick number 49.A former five-star recruit, he originally signed with Florida, but had issues with several coaches and teammates. As a freshman, he was involved in a fight over a pair of cleats with Gators’ QB Skyler Mornhinweg to which the signalcaller required stitches. He was also suspended twice for undisclosed reasons. In another incident in the game against rival Florida State, QB Jameis Winston of the Seminoles had scrambled and gained minimal yardage and then darted out-of-bounds into the Florida bench. As Winston decelerated he approached two Florida players standing on the sideline, one being Willis. Next, Willis hauls off and shoves and then punches Winston with both forearms right in the facemask. Willis was ejected and his team was assessed a 15-yard personal foul.Florida in due course released him fundamentally, and then he transferred to the University of Miami. Willis’ playing growth was stalled in 2017 when he took the entire season off at Miami with allegations of character issues. But once he returned Nick Chubb Browns Jersey , he was a completely different player and possessed new leadership skills plus a good work ethic previously missed. Everyone associated with him - especially his Miami coaches - all rant about the change in his attitude and life in general. The result was a very productive 2018 season peppered with a relentless behavior.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens flipped the script and put one heck of an ending on a regular season that featured countless surprises and plot twists.Getting two rushing touchdowns from rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson and a late defensive stand, Baltimore squeezed past the Cleveland Browns 26-24 Sunday to reach the playoffs as AFC North champions.Kenneth Dixon accounted for 117 of Baltimore’s season-high 296 yards on the ground, Jackson had 90 and the rejuvenated Ravens (10-6) broke a three-year playoff drought with their sixth win in seven games. Baltimore will open the postseason Sunday afternoon at home against the Los Angeles Chargers.Article continues below ...“It feels good, a home playoff game,” cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. “Somehow it happened.”A year ago, Baltimore missed the playoffs by losing its finale at home to the Bengals Womens Baker Mayfield Jersey , who rallied with a last-minute touchdown.Remembering that disappointment, most of the announced crowd of 70,925 was on its feet as the Browns moved closer to field-goal range with the clock winding down. A 19-yard completion from Baker Mayfield to former Ravens top draft pick Breshad Perriman and a 16-yarder to Jarvis Landry pushed the ball to the Baltimore 39 with 1:20 left.Following three straight incompletions, the Ravens blitzed Mayfield on fourth down and linebacker C.J. Mosley picked off a pass to clinch it. Baltimore finished a half-game ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who beat Cincinnati 16-13.“There were some nerves,” tight end Hayden Hurst said. “I felt confidence that at some point one of those guys would make a big play and sure enough, C.J. did.”After killing off the final seconds, the Ravens danced into their locker room, donned caps proclaiming them AFC North champs, and mugged for selfies and shots of each other.“If you want to write a book about this season https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authen … own-jersey , probably no one would believe it,” coach John Harbaugh said.It’s been quite a turnaround for the Ravens, who were 4-5 before Jackson took over for injured Joe Flacco, the team’s starting quarterback since 2008. Flacco was behind center in 2012, when Baltimore captured its last division crown and ultimately won the Super Bowl.The Jackson-led running attack was too much for Cleveland (7-8-1), which was denied its first winning season since 2007. After trailing 20-7 at halftime and 26-17 with 7:20 left, the Browns could not recover against the franchise that left Cleveland after the 1995 season.Mayfield threw three touchdown passes — including a 48-yarder to Landry — to finish with 27, an NFL record for a rookie.“I’ll make sure I say something about it on the plane ride home,” interim coach Gregg Williams said. “Everybody needs a pat on the back, even where you’re as competitive as that young man. And he is competitive.”Although Mayfield pierced the NFL’s top-ranked defense for 376 yards David Njoku Jersey , he was intercepted three times.“Obviously, very disappointed for us to not get the win, but it’s a great team. It’s a playoff team,” Mayfield said. “We want to be in their spot this time next year.”Jackson gave Baltimore a 17-7 lead with touchdown runs of 25 yards and 8 yards , his first multi-score game in the NFL. Late in the first half, however, the former Louisville star lost a fumble when trying to reach over the goal line.Jackson ran 20 times overall. As a passer, he went 14 of 24 for 179 yards.“It’s exciting to watch him play. He’s a leader now,” said Ravens rookie Gus Edwards, who chipped in with 76 yards rushing.READY TO GOAlthough he had already connected on four field goals Myles Garrett Jersey White , Justin Tucker was mentally preparing himself for a very long, hurried fifth attempt as he watched the Browns scramble downfield on their final drive.“I was just doing the math in my own head anticipating that we were going to have to rebut with our own effort to put the game away and come out as AFC North champs,” he said.MILESTONESLB Terrell Suggs set a Ravens record for games played with 229, breaking a tie with Ray Lewis. It’s also the sixth-most by a linebacker in NFL history. … Mayfield has thrown a TD pass in 13 straight starts, the first Browns QB do so in a single season since Frank Ryan in 1966. … Baltimore earned its 200th regular-season win. … The Ravens capped their sixth 10-win season in 11 years under Harbaugh.INJURIESBrowns: DL Larry Ogunjobi was evaluated for a concussion and cleared to return in fourth quarter. … DB Damarious Randall missed time in the third quarter with cramps.Ravens: OL Alex Lewis missed a fourth straight game with a shoulder injury.UP NEXTBrowns: First priority during the offseason is to decide whether Williams sheds the interim label as head coach or if someone else gets the job.Ravens: Face the Chargers, a team they beat 22-10 last weekend.

Charles Omenihu never got the memo that they don’t play defense in the Big 12."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys 2019 DraftCowboys 2019 draft prospect: Defensive lineman Charles OmenihuNew Womens Tony Pollard 2019 Jersey ,71commentsCharles Omenihu never got the memo that they don’t play defense in the Big 12.CSTShareTweetShareShareCowboys 2019 draft prospect: Defensive lineman Charles OmenihuGary Rohman-USA TODAY SportsName: Charles OmenihuSchool: University of TexasHeight: 6’5”Weight: 280 lbs2018 stat line: 14 games, 45 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recoveryCombine results: 4.92 40-yard dash, 36.5” vertical, 115” broad, 7.48 3-cone drill, 4.36 short shuttleThe Cowboys entered the NFL Combine with a desire to check out the defensive linemen in this draft class, of which there are many intriguing options. The Cowboys seemingly have two needs along the line with David Irving not likely to be re-signed and Randy Gregory indefinitely suspended. It’s not surprising Dallas Cowboys Tony Pollard Jersey , then, that the team took the time to meet up with Texas defensive lineman Charles Omenihu at the combine:Omenihu is a talented player. The biggest question mark about him, though, is where he fits in a defense. Prior to the combine, he was thought to weigh in the low 270’s, which gave some the idea that he’d fit best as a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme despite playing primarily defensive tackle in college. But at the combine, he had bulked up to 280 pounds, and when comparing his results against other defensive tackles Omenihu stood out aside from his weight. As Mosher points out, Omenihu can add more weight to his frame to better compete on the inside. Where he fits on a defense is still somewhat up in the air - it’ll be very interesting to see him at his Pro Day on March 27 - but the fact remains that he is a very talented prospect that could help out Dallas immediately. Omenihu has great length, as evidenced by his 36” long arms, and he uses them well Cheap Tony Pollard Youth Jersey , getting full extension with regularity. He combines this with a really explosive get off, although sometimes there are lapses where he doesn’t time the snap well enough. Still, when he does he is off the line of scrimmage in a flash and reaching out his arms to punch the blockers square in the chest. Omenihu’s hand usage is also ideal, as he does a good job of placing them when engaging with blockers and knows how to disengage. He does a good job of figuring out what the protections are and reacting to them with his attack, and Omenihu also holds up well in run defense, largely due to his ability to shed blocks and then utilize his length to wrap up ballcarriers. While he primarily played as the 3-technique defensive tackle, the Longhorns also asked Omenihu to line up as a defensive end in Wide 9 formations, and this is where Omenihu really flashed his pass rushing skills. He has a deep repertoire of moves that he uses to dispatch blockers, and he does a really good job of bending around the corner when coming off the edge. One of the reasons that weight is a concern for Omenihu is due to his strength, especially in assessing his ability to rush the passer up the middle. He didn’t participate in the bench press at the combine, so that question is still a bit murky. However Dallas Cowboys Jalen Jelks Jersey , Omenihu certainly has the ability to rush off the edge in certain 4-3 sets. If not for the questions about his size and positional fit, Omenihu might even be rated a fringe first-rounder. And he still might be, especially after a good combine performance. He seems to be a more athletic Tyrone Crawford with his versatility around the defensive line, and given the Cowboys’ needs right now, that might be a good thing. The only question Dallas has to ask about Omenihu is if he’ll still be on the board at 58. They clearly have interest in him, evidenced by their two meetings since the Senior Bowl, but his stock might be out of their range. The Cowboys didn’t have a first-round choice, having traded it to the Raiders as part of the deal for Amari Cooper. They will make their first selection at No. 58 tonight.The Cowboys don’t hide their interest. Only once since 2005 have the Cowboys drafted a player with their first choice who didn’t visit team headquarters. That was an unexpected trade up for Morris Claiborne in 2012. Safeties Taylor Rapp (pictured), Juan Thornhill and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson were among Dallas’ 30 national visitors, as were pass rusher Jaylon Ferguson, running back Damien Harris Womens Jalen Jelks 2019 Jersey , receiver Deebo Samuel and offensive tackle Greg Little. It is likely the Cowboys draft a player who was among their pre-draft visitors.“I think there’s a pretty good chance that could happen,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, via Clarence Hill of the . “There’s a handful of guys we like that have a chance to be there.”It seems a good bet the Cowboys will draft a safety, especially if Rapp, who played at Washington, and/or Thornhill, who played at Virginia, are there when Dallas selects. It is the most pressing need for the Cowboys, and, after the first round, appears to be falling their way with most top prospects at the position still undrafted. Dallas did not get involved in the sweepstakes for free agent safety Earl Thomas Dallas Cowboys Jalen Jelks Jersey , and though it signed veteran George Iloka, the team would like a strong safety to start opposite Xavier Woods. Woods, a sixth-round pick in 2017, has become “even better than we thought he’d be,” Jones said.“In a perfect world probably a strong safety is the best fit [to pair with Woods],” Jones said.

Team executive shoots down the rumor Myles Garrett Jersey Stitched , but actual schedule release should only be days away." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTThe Cleveland Browns are and up-and-coming team with an attractive schedule for the 2019 season, making them an ideal selection for a number of primetime games. Per NFL rules, teams can only be scheduled for five primetime games, but a maximum of three teams can be flexed into a sixth appearance on Sunday Night Football. With a schedule that includes division games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, along with the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, it seems likely the Browns will be featured at least three to four times in primetime. But which games will be moved from the traditional 1 p.m. kickoff is still unknown, although a schedule posing as legitimate was leaked on Twitter Friday afternoon:That schedule features the Browns in primetime games Week 1 on Monday night at the New York Jets, Week 2 on Sunday night at home to the Ravens, Week 8 on Sunday night at the Patriots, Week 10 on Monday night at home to the Steelers, and Thanksgiving night at the Arizona Cardinals.So the Browns would be scheduled for the maximum of five primetime games, which seems a bit overly optimistic. Another tip off that this schedule may not be legit is the idea that the NFL would have the Cardinals host a game on Thanksgiving night. Sure enough David Njoku Jersey Stitched , late Friday night word came down from Peter John-Baptiste, the Browns senior vice president of communications, that the schedule is indeed fake:That really should not come as a surprise as the NFL keeps these type of things on lockdown. Last year, the league announced the schedule April 19, which was a Thursday night the week before the NFL Draft. There is no reason to believe they will do anything differently this year, so expect to finally discover just when the Browns are in primetime come next Thursday. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns have endured all types of losses over the past few seasons. They’ve been painful, lopsided, comical, heartbreaking, head-scratching and last-second.Jarvis Landry described Sunday’s defeat differently.“An eye-opener,” the receiver said.After being so competitive through their first five games, Cleveland was simply overmatched by the Los Angeles Chargers Orange Chad Thomas Jersey , who rushed for 246 yards, contained and confused rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield and wrecked a picture-perfect day near Lake Erie for Browns fans hoping to see their team win two straight home games for the first time in four years.Instead, they watched the Browns (2-3-1) get pounded.“They got after us,” said Landry, adding he left FirstEnergy Stadium without speaking to reporters following the game because he was frustrated. “Truthfully, it really wasn’t nothing to be said. I think it was evident. They came in, and they were the better team.”Better by far.The Chargers took it to the Browns, who were coming off an emotional overtime win against Baltimore, a victory that altered the national narrative about Cleveland’s season. But just when the Browns turned trendy, they got knocked back.“I hate to say that we needed it, but it’s something that we needed to happen to us,” said Landry, who then backtracked Chad Thomas Jersey 2019 , saying he meant the Browns got tested and failed.“I didn’t really mean like we NEEDED it,” he said with emphasis. “Obviously, I want to win, that’s what I really meant.”What the Browns do need is help, especially to replenish a wide receivers group that has been drained by departures and injuries.On Sunday, veteran receiver Rod Streater suffered a neck fracture while covering a punt in the first quarter and is done for the season. Streater was set to play more while Rashard Higgins (knee) and Derrick Willies (collarbone) recover from injuries. Willies underwent surgery on Monday to fix his broken collarbone and isn’t expected back until late in the season.In the meantime, the Browns are severely lacking in experience with Landry playing alongside rookies Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley, both of whom failed to make TD catches on well-thrown balls by Mayfield on Sunday.The Browns signed free agent Breshad Perriman, a former first-round pick with Baltimore, on Saturday and the team will try to get him up to speed in time for this week’s game at Tampa Bay.Coach Hue Jackson said general manager John Dorsey will continue to look outside the team for help, but that it may have to come from within.“We are not going to make excuses,” he said. “We have to coach well. We have to put them into the best situations.“We have to help everybody on this team offensively, defensively and on special teams to be as good as we can because nobody else cares about what is going on in Cleveland as far as what players are playing Cleveland Browns Damarious Randall Jersey , our injuries or anything like that.“It does not matter. We will find a way.”One way would be to get Mayfield and Landry in sync.Landry, who has caught more passes in his first five seasons than any player in NFL history, had just two for 11 yards against the Chargers. Mayfield targeted Landry nine times, but the pair is still learning to play together — and the Browns don’t have the luxury of time.Landry admitted being frustrated by his lack of production, but said Cleveland’s receivers need to do more for Mayfield.“We have to do a better job of helping him out in situations and making one-on-one contested catches,” he said.“Or when he gets out of the pocket and he’s throwing on the run, we have to find ways to get ourselves free from DBs and the coverage to be able to make plays.”Cleveland’s receiving group looks different than earlier this season, weakened by Josh Gordon’s trade to New England. Landry has been double-teamed as defenses focus on stopping him.It’s time for the Browns’ youngsters to grow up.“We trust these guys,” Landry said of Callaway and Ratley, who had six catches for 82 yards. “We count on them each week to make plays for us and we give them opportunities in clutch moments, and it’s really not about young guys any more. That part is over and everybody has to play at a veteran level if we want to go to where we’re headed to.”NOTES: Pro Bowl LB Joe Schobert could miss several games with a hamstring injury suffered Sunday.

Just at a glance, we see the top NFL offense during the regular season that will be butting heads with the Colts’ top-10 defense, and an explosive Colts offense that will be trying to dominate what has been a largely very disappointing Chiefs defense.Obviously, one of the largest advantages for the Chiefs comes with their home crowd and atmosphere. The Colts offense will literally have a 12th man to deal with despite the Chiefs’ defensive shortcomings which somewhat levels out that specific battle. On the other hand, the Colts’ defense may have the speed and run defense to offer a punch to the Chiefs’ offense, but the Colts naturally have holes in their coverages that could offer a challenge in keeping Travis Kelce from making a mess of Indy’s night.Matt and Pete also discuss what the Chiefs should be worried about outside of the combination of Andrew Luck and Frank Reich, how to keep Patrick Mahomes contained without allowing him create outside of the pocket, where the Colts can attack the Chiefs’ defense and much more.Please subscribe Womens Adam Vinatieri 2019 Jersey , rate and review the channel anywhere you listen to podcasts.Follow our hosts on Twitter: @MDanelySB | @HolderStephen | @chrisblystoneStampede Blue Podcast Links:Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Art 19 | SB Colts Cast YT Channel | Google | Spotify This time, it's Kirk Cousins vs. Carson Wentz.The quarterbacks and the stakes will be different when the Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) host the Minnesota Vikings (1-2-1) in a rematch of the NFC championship game Sunday.Nick Foles led the Eagles to a 38-7 win over Case Keenum and the Vikings last January. The Super Bowl MVP went back to the bench after Wentz returned from knee surgery in Week 3. Keenum went to Denver because the Vikings gave Cousins a fully guaranteed $84 million contract to be the face of their franchise.Neither team is playing at a championship level right now and both are desperate for a win."They're a great team, record aside," Wentz said. "We know we'll get their best, obviously with the way it ended last year."Cousins had been successful against the Eagles in seven starts for Washington. He had thrown for 2,122 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions while going 4-3 in those games."It's a great environment, a great place to play an NFL football game on a Sunday afternoon. Great crowd," Cousins said. "I've had my fair share of battles there. Some have come out victorious, some have come out as the loser. It will be a great test for us."Some things to watch between the Vikings and Eagles:FLIP'S FAMILIARITYVikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo was Philadelphia's quarterbacks coach the past two seasons. He's quite familiar with Wentz and coach Doug Pederson's system. The Eagles already beat former offensive coordinator Frank Reich and the Colts in Week 3."The same as going against Frank, some of the terminology Womens Anthony Castonzo 2019 Jersey , some of the calls, maybe hand signals, whatever it may be that he knows," Pederson said. "Listen, he's a smart guy, but he's also preparing his team to get ready to play. I think that's where his focus is right now this week."We're seeing some of the same things from their offense that we do, and so it's good for our defense to see. We're aware of it. It's a home game, so we can cut down on a lot of the signals, a lot of the verbiage, things like that at the line Indianapolis Colts Gerri Green Jersey , and just try to go play."GETTING DEFENSIVEBoth teams are struggling on defense. The Vikings had the No. 1 defense a year ago. They're 21st this season. The Eagles were fourth last year. Now they're 10th and the secondary has been shredded by Ryan Fitzpatrick and Marcus Mariota in two road losses.The Vikings are missing three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen. The Eagles lost safety Rodney McLeod.NO BALANCEThe Vikings are last in the NFL in rushing and Dalvin Cook leads the team with only 98 yards while averaging just 2.7 per carry. The Eagles are first in run defense but poor against the pass. So expect Cousins to throw a ton. Or not."It's important for us to have balance," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. "It keeps the defensive line from pinning their ears back all the time. I think it helps the football team overall. We just have to do a better job."NO BALANCE IIThe Eagles had success running the ball in an overtime loss at Tennessee, gaining 109 yards on 20 carries from backs Jay Ajayi and Wendell Smallwood. But Pederson called 74 percent pass plays."We try to be as balanced as we can be and we're going to play the game that we think needs to be played, and some of it is dictated during the course of the game," offensive coordinator Mike Groh said. "Coach is as patient a play caller as there is in the running game in this league and really doesn't deviate from it. ... A run call is never very far from the tip of his finger. He's always thinking about it and conversing with the staff during the course of the game."DYNAMIC DUOVikings receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have been unstoppable. Diggs leads the team with three touchdowns and is averaging 11.5 yards per reception. Thielen has 40 catches and is the only player in the league with 100 yards receiving in every game this season. They're going against a pair of cornerbacks, Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby, who've struggled.

The Cowboys don’t have a first-round pick in this year’s draft as a result of the trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper and executive vice president Stephen Jones addressed the possibility of the team making a move to change that during a Tuesday radio interview.Dallas is currently set to make their first pick at No. 58 overall and Jones called it “real hard to think” that the Cowboys would be making any move that significantly changes that outlook.“I don’t think so White Daryl Johnston Jersey ,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, via the . “It took an act of Congress to give up a first-round pick. We know how valuable those are. It took a lot of discussion, a lot of homework Daryl Johnston Jersey 2019 , a lot of really getting your hands around giving up a first round pick, and certainly, it’s something that you don’t love to do without. We would certainly do the same thing over again in terms of what it did for us with Amari Cooper and what’s it going to do for our future.”With six picks in this year’s draft Dallas Cowboys Deonte Thompson Jersey , any attempt to make a big jump up the board would likely require the Cowboys to dip into future stockpiles of selections and Jones’ comments suggest that’s not going to happen. Plenty of people have been critical of the Cowboys wide receivers this season, but Cole Beasley has been adamant that they are not the problem that others make them out to be.Given that feeling, one might imagine that Beasley would frown on the team’s decision to trade a first-round pick to the Raiders for Amari Cooper. Beasley is welcoming his new teammate with open arms Womens Deonte Thompson 2019 Jersey , however.Beasley said he’s “glad we did something to add to us” and thinks that Cooper will make the offense more dangerous when it returns to the field in Week Nine. Beasley said Cooper’s addition should help running back Ezekiel Elliott, although he’s less sure about what it will mean for him as an individual.“I don’t know, we will find out. Hopefully Cheap Antwaun Woods Youth Jersey , a lot,” Beasley said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I have been all right without it so … If it’s any easier for me Dallas Cowboys Donovan Wilson Jersey , the defense is going to be in trouble.”Beasley’s set for free agency after this year, so any boost he gets from Cooper’s presence could help him come the offseason as well.

General manager seemed nonchalant when discussing what Kitchens accomplished with the Browns offense this season."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Daily Dawg ChowRufio’s PlaybookHas John Dorsey cooled on Freddie Kitchens?New Youth Britton Colquitt Jersey ,64commentsGeneral manager seemed nonchalant when discussing what Kitchens accomplished with the Browns offense this season.ESTShareTweetShareShareHas John Dorsey cooled on Freddie Kitchens?General manager John Dorsey has not come across as someone driven by emotions or public opinion during his little more than a year in charge of the Cleveland Browns.Dorsey clearly has a plan for how he wants to push the Browns to the next level. Sometimes he acts quickly — cutting wide receiver Kenny Britt shortly after taking over the general manager’s job, for example. Other times he lets the situation play out — for example, giving owner Jimmy Haslam time to come to the realization that he was employing the worst head coach in NFL history. Knowing that, we were not expecting Dorsey to show up at his press conference on Monday wearing a bright orange Dawg Pound hoodie and singing the praises of offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens. But, even for someone who keeps his information on lockdown, Dorsey came off as pretty neutral about the work that Kitchens did over the second half of the season.While Dorsey said the Browns will give Kitchens an opportunity to interview for the vacant head coaching position, he also said it will happen “one day Britton Colquitt Jersey Stitched ,” which could be interpreted as Dorsey believing he has more important items on his daily calendar.There is also one comment from Dorsey that really stood out when he was asked about Kitchens’ achievements this season, according to clevelandbrowns.com:Kitchens has “kind of moved the bar on the offensive side of the ball?” That is a bit of an understatement when you consider that:During the first half of the season, the offense struggled to get in gear as quarterback Baker Mayfield had eight touchdown passes, six interceptions, completed just 58.3 percent of his passes and posted a quarterback rating of 78.9. (Per cleveland.com)During the second half of the season, Mayfield had 19 touchdown passes, eight interceptions Youth Joel Bitonio Jersey , completed 68.4 percent of his passes and posted a quarterback rating of 106.2. (Per cleveland.com)And, highlighting Dorsey’s comment about getting the ball out quicker, Mayfield was sacked just five times in the final eight games, compared to 20 in the first half of the season. (Per cleveland.com)Some of that can be attributed to Mayfield’s growth as a quarterback during his rookie season, but Kitchens certainly played a part in it as well. Even without the numbers to back it up, it was easy for Browns fans to see the difference in the offense once Kitchens took over.This could be all much ado about nothing since Dorsey and the Browns are still working through the evaluation process and setting up interviews. But it could also be Dorsey’s way of letting the fans know that they may not want to get to attached to everyone’s favorite offensive coordinator. Either way, we should all know for sure sometime in the next few weeks. CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns‘ draft class of 2016 is rapidly shrinking.As he continues to revamp Cleveland’s roster Joel Bitonio Jersey Stitched , general manager John Dorsey got rid of three former draft picks on Monday by trading defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah to the Kansas City Chiefs and releasing safety Derrick Kindred and wide receiver Ricardo Louis.Ogbah did not report for the start of the Browns’ offseason program Monday, a sign that a trade was being discussed. The 25-year-old was picked with the No. 32 pick three years ago by Cleveland.He had 12½ sacks in 40 games but became expendable when the Browns acquired edge rusher Olivier Vernon from New York in the deal for Odell Beckham Jr.On the day they introduced Beckham at a packed news conference, the Browns also re-signed wide receiver Rashard Higgins (restricted free agent) defensive back Juston Burris (free agent), defensive tackle Trevon Coley (exclusive rights free agent) and Jermaine Whitehead (exclusive rights free agent).Kindred and Louis were both selected in 2016 by Cleveland’s previous front office, which drafted 14 players that year. Only three remain.Dorsey has spent the past year and more fixing a roster that produced just one win over two seasons. But the Browns went 7-8-1 last season and expectations are soaring following the team’s acquisition of Beckham and other offseason moves.A fourth-round pick, Kindred had been expected to start after the Browns traded Jabrill Peppers to the Giants as part of the Beckham deal. Needing a safety, Dorsey went out and got Murray Youth Christian Kirksey Jersey , whom he picked while he was the Chiefs GM in 2016. Murray became expendable when the Chiefs signed free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu.Murray started nine games and appeared in 15 last season, making 43 tackles and an interception.The Browns were pleased with Higgins’ development last season and feel he gives them depth at a key position. He had 39 catches for 572 yards and four touchdowns in 2018.Coley has been a solid contributor over the past two seasons, starting 29 games.Burris appeared in four games for Cleveland last season after being signed off the New York Jets’ practice squad. Whitehead played on special teams in his seven games with Cleveland in 2018.

According to league rules, a violation like this is enough to make a player ineligible to participate in Combine activities.This is a blow to Ferguson’s draft stock, not so much as in that it may drop, but more in the fact that he’s running out of chances to prove he is a first round caliber talent. As the FBS all-time sack leader, the 6-foot-5 defensive end was beginning to cause some waves around the league and his name was starting to pick up traction. However Chester Rogers Jersey 2019 , his small-school designation had held him back a bit to this point. His athletic abilities would certainly have allowed him to excel at the Combine, and since he wasn’t able to make much noise in the Senior Bowl against better competition, Indy seemed like the last place for him to make a major push to get into the first round.Instead, he will find himself watching the combine from home. Apparently, most teams already seem to know about the incident, but the NFL found out about it during routine background checks made in preparation for the Combine. Overall, I don’t think this will greatly impact Ferguson’s stock as very little came out of the allegations and he was relatively young when they occurred. He just won’t be able to display his talents and Combine interviews are a great place to explain incidents like these. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky Indianapolis Colts Ben Banogu Jersey , Green Bay Packers free agent safety Kentrell Brice is visiting the Indianapolis Colts on Friday:Former Packers safety Kentrell Brice is visiting the Colts today..."According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Green Bay Packers free agent safety Kentrell Brice is visiting the Indianapolis Colts on Friday:Having been signed as an undrafted free agent by the Packers in 2016, the former Louisiana Tech standout has recorded 91 tackles, 6 passes defensed, and an interception in 36 career games (14 starts). The 24 year old strong safety is coming off a season for the Packers in which he had 50 tackles, 2 passes defensed, and a sack in 14 games (10 starts).Per Pro Football Focus (subscription) Womens Ben Banogu 2019 Jersey , Brice graded out as only their 87th best graded safety among 93 qualified players at his position with a +51.0 grade overall last season. Of course, the Colts could potentially use safety depth as starting strong safety Clayton Geathers is currently a free agent and ‘testing the market’. Meanwhile, his teammate, fellow free agent safety Matthias Farley, has been tendered at a second round level—but not yet signed it. At one point in free agency, the Colts reportedly expressed interest in former Chicago Bears free agent safety Adrian Amos, who ultimately signed with Brice’s potential former team Indianapolis Colts Ben Banogu Jersey , the Packers. Per reports, the Colts also expressed initial interest in former New York Giants safety Landon Collins before he inked a mega-deal with the Washington Redskins. That being said, at first glance, Brice looks more like a backup and special teamer than starting caliber safety for the Colts.

FRISCO White Chuck Howley Jersey , Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett had two different answers Monday for whether oft-criticized offensive coordinator Scott Linehan would return next season.The first was on his morning radio show, when Garrett responded, “I do,” when asked if he thought Linehan would be back for a sixth season with the Cowboys. The coach added he didn’t expect any significant changes to his staff.At a news conference several hours later, Garrett wasn’t even close to definitive. He said discussions about the coaching staff hadn’t happened after spending most of his time in player interviews coming off the 30-22 divisional playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.In between, executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said on his radio show that it was too early to speculate about the future of coaches or players.While Garrett quieted chatter about his own future by rallying the Cowboys from a 3-5 start to a wild-card win and their third divisional trip in the past five seasons, he didn’t do much to show he was in sync with owner and general manager Jerry Jones or Jones’ son in his season-ending meeting with reporters.“I don’t know how I answered that question this morning,” Garrett said. “Nothing has changed. I feel very good about what Scott Linehan did for us. We’ll have conversations about everybody as we go here the next few days. We’ll make a lot of decisions to put the staff together and put the team together as we go.”Garrett said he considers all the decisions about the team — coaching staff or otherwise — to be collaborative. But he reiterated that Jerry Jones has the final say.“I do believe our relationship is very collaborative,” Garrett said. “I have a tremendous amount of faith and trust in him and hopefully he has the same for me. We talk about all the decisions we make, any player, any coach, and we come to conclusions with both feel good about.”Linehan was heavily criticized during Dallas’ sluggish start because a misfiring offense was largely to blame. There were questions about creativity, including from Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-analyst Troy Aikman, who won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys in the 1990s.Dallas was much better offensively in the second half of the season Chuck Howley Jersey 2019 , after sending its first-round pick in this year’s draft to Oakland for receiver Amari Cooper. But the Cowboys were one of just four teams to convert fewer than half their trips inside the 20-yard line into touchdowns.When Dak Prescott and the Cowboys were struggling, there were also questions about inexperience with first-year quarterbacks coach Kellen Moore, who retired after being Prescott’s backup and went straight into the role of leading that group.“If you look at the success he’s had, the number of games he’s won as a starting quarterback in the NFL over the course of his first three years, it’s a good environment,” Garrett said. “I think Scott and Kellen, those guys have a good understanding of what his strengths are and again some of the things he needs to work on.”After the loss to the Rams, defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli bristled when asked if he was considering retirement. The 69-year-old Marinelli said before the LA game that he was willing to help the Cowboys try to keep passing game coordinator Kris Richard.Also the defensive backs coach, Richard interviewed for head coaching vacancies with the New York Jets, Miami and Tampa Bay.The Associated Press has reported that Miami intends to offer the job to New England defensive coordinator Brian Flores , but hasn’t ruled out Richard if the club can’t reach a deal with Flores. Garrett said he’s hopeful Richard will be back for a second season in Dallas.The contracts of Garrett, Marinelli and Linehan are up after next season, although Jerry Jones has hinted at an extension for Garrett, his coach for 8½ seasons. Dallas has lost six straight divisional games since the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl title following the 1995 season.“I know certainly overall it was a good season Dallas Cowboys Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , but we also know that we’ve had some good teams around here that haven’t taken the next step,” Stephen Jones said. “We’ve got to figure out what that is.” OK, what came to mind when I first started thinking about writing this article was the Green Arrow telling Scott Linehan “You have failed this franchise!” But now that I’ve dispensed with my geek outburst, let’s get into the meat of things. The genesis of this goes back a couple of days, before the divorce between the Dallas Cowboys and their offensive coordinator became final. It started with a look at quarterback Dak Prescott and how he performed down the stretch this season. Then the aspect of how Ezekiel Elliott is one of the premier running backs in the league, but was so often put in unwinnable situations also seemed pertinent. There is a serious argument to be made that their talents were not utilized to the fullest this season. That is certainly a driving factor in Linehan’s departure. It also may bring a little clarity to the old “play-calling versus execution” argument that raged around Linehan all season.As with so many things, this was all inspired by a few things out there in the Twitterverse. (Is that one of the alternate realities in the multiverse? OK, really, geekfest over now.) Here are some that really hit home.Here is what I took away from that: Dak is producing at a high level, is actually more accurate than most NFL quarterbacks, and is at his best under pressure. Those are some statistical things to support the contention that he is a much better quarterback than the conventional wisdom believes. Now add in the old eye test, when we watched him rise to the occasion again and again to get his team to the divisional round of the playoffs.So here is the hypothesis: Linehan didn’t just fail to get the most out of his quarterback. His innate conservatism and stubbornness actually held his young QB back. Here is one more bit of fuel on that fire.Another term that has been used is “bad marriage” between Linehan and Prescott. Clearly, the senior management saw this, and just as clearly Womens Leighton Vander Esch 2019 Jersey , decided they had a legitimate chance of finding a better partner for their franchise field general. There was clearly no rational way to think they could fix things with Linehan on board. In the next year or two, they are going to get a new deal in place with Prescott. Something had to give, and only one thing really could.The same happened with Elliott with those well-known criticisms of the running game. There is an analytics-based theory that running on first down actually decreases the likelihood of success. To perhaps oversimplify the argument, you should be calling plays that have the best chance of moving the sticks when you have ten yards to go, and those are almost never running ones. That is the exact opposite of what Linehan tried to do. That does open up the issue of just how much head coach Jason Garrett is wedded to the same idea. But, even though reports have it that the decision to move on was mostly Garrett’s call, it is also absolutely certain that he was getting some strong input from above that changes had to be made. We will have to see how it all plays out this year, but I, for one, will bet that putting a new man in the OC job is just part of what is being demanded of Garrett. He has to show some flexibility, but at least the perception of intransigence that surrounded Linehan is not readily evident with the head coach.In any case, the running game certainly under-performed in Dallas. That may seem an odd observation given that Zeke was the league’s leading rusher, and has led the NFL in yards per game for his entire career, but consider that the Cowboys were only tenth in rushing overall. With the top ground-gainer on your roster Cheap Leighton Vander Esch Youth Jersey , you should do better. Elliott was really all they had, though. And that is something that can reasonably be laid at Linehan’s feet as well. It goes beyond just 4 and 21. Cole Beasley has been an impressive weapon with Prescott, and with Tony Romo before him. Yet he often disappeared from games in 2018. There is still a good chance that Beas will seek greener pastures (and paychecks) in free agency, but it was just about a given that he was gone if Linehan had remained. Now, at least, the team may make a serious effort to retain him.In the big picture, the weapons the Cowboys have were just not utilized well. The next guy to fill the OC job has to do a better job. That leaves Dallas with the task of finding someone who can do that. Having been in the playoffs may have cost them some opportunities as teams that sat out the postseaon have already signed some who might have been targets.However, the Dallas job has some interesting advantages for whoever that turns out to be. First, the team expects Travis Frederick back, and Connor Williams should be stronger and therefore better after a full offseason conditioning and weight program. That will help both facets of the offense, since both pass protection and run blocking should be improved. And Amari Cooper is now part of the mix and will also have a full year to hone his chemistry with Prescott, while Michael Gallup was clearly on the ascent late in the season.One odd thing that has emerged from all this is that it is anticipated that Kellen Moore will keep his job as the quarterbacks coach. He was obviously a Linehan guy. Most thought his future was handcuffed to Linehan, but at the moment that is not the case. (It must be mentioned that statements about who is going to keep their jobs are not exactly set in stone, as we saw this past week Dallas Cowboys Trysten Hill Jersey , and a new OC may want to bring in his own man there.) But it is reasonable to think that Moore got a vote of confidence from Prescott. In any case, at the moment he has not been judged to be part of the problem.Linehan, of course, was. It should be considered whether he was scapegoated a bit in all this, since the scheme that was used did have Garrett’s fingerprints all over it. But given how things played out with the coaching moves a year ago, any excess blame placed on Linehan may be a case of what goes around, comes around.The Cowboys have a young roster, and outside of Beasley, that certainly applies to the offensive skill positions. They need an offensive coordinator who can maximize that talent. Last season was pretty clear evidence that Linehan was not getting the job done. With a huge payday in the offing for Prescott, possibly Elliott, and likely Cooper, the team had to come up with a better way forward.They have a new one, at least.
