With that in mind, this is part of the reason Sports Illustrated has given the Saints the third shortest window to win in the NFL:The arguments here make sense, but there’s a surprising team listed at ,1# with the shortest window to win in the NFL, and that franchise quarterback is significantly younger than Brees - the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott.S.I. explains the reason for the Cowboys to top the list is not one of age, but rather a concern regarding the salary cap: Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Jaylon Smith and Byron Jones are all going to get expensive relatively quickly.While S.I. puts a lot of weight on Drew Brees and his age, the Saints are in a similar situation with the cap that isn’t quite as close on the horizon as the situation in Dallas, but it is still concerning nonetheless. The Saints have already extended Pro Bowl DE Cam Jordan, but the aforementioned Michael Thomas is in talks for an extension, and he’s not going to come cheap. Then there’s Alvin Kamara, and the Saints will likely need to pay up to keep him a part of the offense. But what about Eli Apple? David Onyemata? Andrus Peat? Those three are all set to hit free agency in 2020. In 2021 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-marshon-lattimore-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Marshon Lattimore Saint Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , there’s an even bigger group that includes Kamara, plus Larry Warford, Demario Davis, Sheldon Rankins, Marcus Williams, and Alex Anzalone? Behind that in 2022, you’ve got Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk, and Terron Armstead?Those are a lot of important players the Saints will need to lock up, or otherwise Drew Brees hitting age 42 will be the least of their concerns.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;With backup quarterback Geno Smith having surgery on Friday to remove a cyst from his knee &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-davenport-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Marcus Davenport Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , the Seahawks added another quarterback to the roster on Saturday.Seattle signed former New Orleans Saints quarterback J.T. Barrett and added linebacker Juwon Young to their roster. To make room on their 90-man, the team waived linebacker Chris Worley and safety Marwin Evans.Barrett went undrafted before signing with the Saints last year. He was yo-yoed on and off the team’s practice squad all season before re-signing with the team on a futures contract in January. However, the Saints released Barrett just after the start of training camp.Barrett started 44 games at Ohio State during his college career. He completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 3 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-tre_quan-smith-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tre&#039;Quan Smith Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; ,053 yards with 35 touchdowns and nine interceptions in his final year for the Buckeyes. Barrett also rushed for 798 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior.Barrett will get a chance to show the Seahawks something while Smith is on the mend after surgery. Smith and Paxton Lynch have been competing for Seattle’s backup job behind Russell Wilson. Smith may have a chance to be back in time for the team’s next preseason game against Minnesota next Sunday. In case he’s not, Barrett will have a week of practice to get up to speed in Seattle’s offense.Young was a tryout player in Seattle’s rookie mini-camp in May.Worley and Evans both played in the team’s preseason opener against Denver on Thursday night.

Last season, attrition hit the Cowboys offensive line hard with 60 sacks allowed being the result of poor communication between line replacements and the quarterback. If you were pinpointing reasons as to why the Cowboys were ousted so easily in the divisional round, look no further than how the Rams walloped an outmatched run defense to the tune of almost 300 rushing yards.Despite many differences of opinion about the Cowboys roster needs &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-gallup-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Michael Gallup Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , the majority of the resources were spent fortifying both the offensive and defensive lines:Trans. DateCowboys TransactionsDetailsIf you think about the philosophies of how this team wins games offensively, it makes sense to continue drafting young talented offensive linemen. Connor McGovern is the latest addition to the offensive line and if you happen to be as successful as the Cowboys in drafting studs in that area, why not? Sure, McGovern may not be a ‘need’ but then again, the landscape of good offensive linemen in the NFL is bleak for most. The Cowboys are doing everything in their power to make sure that they remain as one of the best lines in all of football. Considering how starved the NFL is for quality linemen, the Cowboys could potentially lose right tackle La’el Collins to a much bigger contract in 2020. The Cowboys are prioritizing offensive line as they always do and hoping to be covered should any unforeseen circumstances arise. By drafting Connor Williams in 2018 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-leighton-vander-esch-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Leighton Vander Esch Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , followed by Connor McGovern this year, they have done a nice job of protecting the integrity of their strongest unit. The defensive line was in need of some attention with the suspension of Randy Gregory and the mess with David Irving. The Cowboys desperately needed more playmaking ability opposite DeMarcus Lawrence. A one-year rental in the form of Robert Quinn will do a lot to help generate more pass rush. The Cowboys have a solid rotation building again and it could even be elite if they get what they’re hoping to out of rookie Trysten Hill. Despite the attitude concerns, Rod Marinelli and Kris Richard both made their pleas to get Hill in the second round. That alone means a lot for the rookie as Marinelli is not one to go to bat very often on a player and will coach whoever is in front of him. Trysten Hill has something the Cowboys don’t have in the middle of their defense with his ability to fire off the ball. He’s got the lower-half agility and explosiveness as an under tackle, which is the most important position in Marinelli’s 4-3 alignment. Maliek Collins and Antwaun Woods pull their own weight on the line but neither have the explosive potential that Trysten Hill has. Rod Marinelli has always talked about having his rush come in waves with an emphasis on relentless effort and attacking the pocket. By having an elite rusher on the left side, a former Pro Bowler on the right, and possibly a prototypical 3-tech in the middle &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-gallup-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Michael Gallup Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , the Cowboys will present a ferocious defensive front.The Cowboys plan for a deeper run in the playoffs is to continue to build depth in the trenches. Dallas wins on offense by running the football and allowing their quarterback to make plays with his arm and legs. Investing more resources on the offensive line will help them continue that plan. On the flip side, they must generate more pass rush and disrupt the opposing offense. By adding talented pass rushers and fortifying the run defense, the Cowboys hope that their back end won’t have to cover as long and can make a few more plays on the ball. Today’s NFL is all about protection and pass rush, two areas that the Cowboys committed heavily to addressing this offseason.

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has proven himself a game changer as the starter this season &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Andrew Luck Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and he’s putting his team in the end zone more than any other quarterback in the league.Brissett has 14 touchdown passes through six games, which puts him on pace to lead the league in touchdown passes this season. At his current pace Brissett would finish the season with 37 touchdowns. No one else is on pace for more than 35.Although Brissett is fourth in the NFL in touchdown passes, the three co-leaders — Patrick Mahomes, Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson — have 15 touchdowns, and all three of them have played seven games, while Brissett’s Colts have played just six.Brissett has the Colts in first place in the AFC South, a place few thought they’d be when Andrew Luck retired before the season. Brissett’s passer rating this year of 101.0 is better than the career high of 98.7 Luck recorded last year. If Luck were putting up these numbers while the Colts were in place, he’d be in the MVP discussion. Perhaps Brissett should be there as well. INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri felt fine during last weekend’s game at Los Angeles. Long snapper Luke Rhodes thought everything went off without a hitch, too.Then the NFL’s career scoring leader inexplicably missed three kicks &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Malik Hooker Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and the 24-year veteran long dubbed the best clutch kicker in league history started fielding questions about what went wrong in the Colts’ overtime loss. On Thursday, the questions were back.“Unfortunately, if you play long enough you’re going to have a lousy game every once and a while,” Vinatieri said. “One day you’re off, and you come back and figure out how to kick ’em straighter.”Sounds like a simple solution to, perhaps, the worst game of his career.But those bad days have been rare for the NFL’s career scoring leader. Never before had Vinatieri missed two field goals and an extra point in the same game — two to the left, one to the right — and it marked only the fourth time in his career he missed a field goal inside 30 yards.Naturally, Vinatieri blamed himself.“I just didn’t kick well &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Andrew Luck Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; ,” he said. “There were a few things that didn’t go our way but the majority of them were my lousy kicking, so I totally let them down.”It didn’t take long for others to start contemplating whether father time had finally caught up to Vinatieri, the league’s oldest player now at age 46.He sat out part of the preseason with tendinitis in his left knee. He finished last season by missing two extra points and a field goal in the Colts’ final three games after contending with a lingering groin injury. Then came the performance nobody saw coming on a bright, sunny southern California day.“He was the same old Adam,” Rhodes said. “We had great warmups and stuff, he was extremely confident. But he’s done it so long, I know he’ll jump right back.”If stats are any indication, Rhodes could be right.Vinatieri’s field-goal percentages have hovered in the 80s or 90s for seven straight years and he’s produced eight of his 12 best single seasons since 2010. He’s missed just 19 extra points in the NFL, nine coming since the league voted to move line of scrimmage for the attempt from the 2-yard line to the 15.Here &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Darius Leonard Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , in this locker room, everybody roots for Vinatieri.“He’s a great guy, his mindset is the same as mine,” 24-year-old All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard said. “He loves the game, he loves being in this locker room, and you can tell. He doesn’t just go to meetings and things, he’s in here with us.”The players and coaches also understand Vinatieri didn’t win four Super Bowl rings, make two Super Bowl-winning kicks and two other memorable kicks in the snow at New England, or pass Hall of Famer Morten Anderson for the scoring and field goals titles without overcoming a little adversity.Vinatieri couldn’t bring down Desmond Howard or Devin Hester on their kickoff returns for touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Vinatieri finished the 2009 season on injured reserve after having surgery on his right knee. When the Patriots let him walk away in free agency following the 2005 season &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-peyton-manning-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Peyton Manning Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , he landed in Indianapolis’ domed-stadium where he’s now scored a franchise record 1,446 points and became the first player in league history to top 1,000 points with two teams.There was even that time, a month into his rookie season, when Vinatieri needed to make a 40-yard field goal in the wind and rain against Jacksonville to keep his job.He made it look as easy then, as coach Frank Reich expects this weekend at Tennessee (1-0), without Vinatieri’s personal stakes being so high.“I have watched him in pregame, I have seen him every day in practice. (I have) no concerns that there is any deteriorating of anything physically, and certainly not mentally &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Darius Leonard Jersey&lt;/a&gt; ,” Reich said Monday. “This guy is the toughest mental athlete I have ever been around.”All he has to do is prove that one more time for the Colts (0-1).“I think every single day, every person is playing for their job,” Vinatieri said.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Here is the injury report for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans:Cleveland BrownsPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusTennessee TitansPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusPositionPlayerInjuryWedThuFriGame StatusInjury NotesThe Browns do not have anyone ruled out. Three players in total are on the injury report &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-odell-beckham-jr.-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Odell Beckham Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , but rookie LB Sione Takitaki is the only one listed as questionable. He was a limited participant in practice all week, but with him missing time in the preseason, the team might prefer to let the rookie rest up.There are no concerns about WR Odell Beckham Jr. (hip) or DL Devaroe Lawrence (shoulder).Backup LB Reggie Gilbert is out for the Titans. The bigger story to watch concerns starting RG Kevin Pamphile &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-odell-beckham-jr.-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Odell Beckham Browns Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , who missed Thursday and Friday with a knee injury and is listed as questionable. The Titans made a Saturday roster move to add a backup guard to the roster, fueling speculation that Pamphile won’t be able to go on Sunday: Browns defensive end Myles Garrett said this offseason that he felt limited while playing in the defense put together by Gregg Williams in Cleveland and that he was looking forward to more freedom this season.Williams now runs the defense for the Jets, so he got to see the freer Garrett in person on Monday night and it was certainly an active performance for the 2017 first overall pick. Garrett had three sacks &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-denzel-ward-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Denzel Ward Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , two roughing the passer penalties — one of which knocked Trevor Siemian out of the game — and two offside penalties over the course of Cleveland’s 23-3 win and the effort left him with a mixed review of the night’s work.“I’m glad about the sacks. I’m glad about how we did overall on defense keeping the New York Jets to just three points. Keeping Le’Veon Bell mostly under wraps, knowing he is a threat at all times. The best part is getting the win. Getting that weight off of us. Gaining the momentum to stack some wins. Also, disappointed in those penalties and those negative plays against my team. I’m supposed to be a leader on this defense and this team so &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-baker-mayfield-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Baker Mayfield Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , I can’t be saying that and doing that and also having those negative plays effecting my team like that.”Garrett was also penalized for unnecessary roughness in the season opener and head coach Freddie Kitchens said the team will continue to work with Garrett to make sure that the positives outweigh the negatives on the field.“I mean, that’s the only thing you can do, and help him &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-bernie-kosar-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Bernie Kosar Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , put him in situations, communicate with him to put him in situations to make better decisions,” Kitchens said. “It’s a decision-making deal and he’ll still continue to work on his decisions.”Garrett’s five sacks lead the league through two weeks. The Browns would like to see that number grow while the penalties stop piling up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;4 things we learned in the 49ers loss to the Cardinals (and 1 thing I still think about) I’d love to be in the film study session with the San Francisco 49ers after the Arizona Cardinals mess. Yes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-c.-j.-beathard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens C. J. Beathard Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , I’m calling it a mess, not a game, or a loss. Just anb unnecessary mess. Unacceptable is one of the many words I could use to describe what was shown on Sunday. Pathetic could be another one. The 49ers are hurt by injuries, and are still a young team, but they are also in the second year of their rebuild. Teams like the Cardinals should be beat. In San Francisco no less. There’s way too much we’ve learned watching this blunder, so this is more like I’ve put it all in a hat and drew three things we learned. C.J. Beathard is one of the unluckiest quarterbacks to play the gameThe 49ers backup quarterback has his own share of blame for how things ended on Sunday, but we can’t pile it all on him. Beathard isn’t taking the team to a Super Bowl, or the playoffs, or maybe even another win if he’s going to keep getting stripped like that. He at least can put together a drive or two &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-juszczyk-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Kyle Juszczyk Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , nothing more evident than the opening drive on Sunday. Marching down the field, punching it in, all one had to think was this was a sign of a great game by the 49ers. Then his second drive he threw a ball to Pierre Gar&amp;#33725;on that was batted away. By Pierre Gar&amp;#33725;on. Of course it results in an interception and things get worse from there. The NFL is a passing league. You aren’t going to go well if you can’t pass. To Beathard’s credit he’s thrown some decent passes, if only his pass-catchers could catch it. This isn’t cleaning Beathard of any blame. He had some very strange throws and held the ball far too long. The 49ers defensive performance is a mirage to a bad Cardinals offenseThe 49ers may be preaching violence. But it’s probably that cartoon violence you see on the crummy cartoons that came on weekday mornings just to get you to go to school.The 49ers defense had minor improvements against a putrid offense. Don’t let the Cardinals fool you—that is not a good offense at the moment. Just because the Cardinals couldn’t convert 3rd downs is more on them and less on the 49ers defense. Besides the opening play of the Cardinals which led to a monster touchdown, this game rests more on the lack of execution on the 49ers offense than anything they did on defense. Raheem Mostert is a much better gunner than a runner Mostert was one of the contestants playing “Cough it to the Cardinals” flipping a ball to the defense which led to the second Cardinals touchdown of the day. The fumble itself was a result of Matt Breida being injured. Had Breida been not been getting checked out for his ankle injury, he may have been the one in the game. Mostert had a fumble in the preseason and also fumbled on one of his few carries in 2017. It all means one thing: Mostert can’t be trusted with the ball. He’s a much better gunner than a runner on special teams. His value on special teams cannot be overstated. As a piece on offense? The 49ers need a new third running back. Mostert isn’t it. C.J. Beathard is a career backup, if thatI said that Beathard was the best chance for the team to run Kyle Shanahan’s offense. I still stand by that statement, but he also isn’t going to give the 49ers the best chance to win. Twice Beathard had the ball stripped from his hands and both times they are on him for holding the ball too long and not A) taking off or B) throwing it away. That’s two of the five turnovers. I have nothing more to say on this than you aren’t going to win a game with five turnovers. Especially when half your team is on IR. And we haven’t even gotten to the interceptions yet. One was not on him. The other was just bad. At least he isn’t Nathan Peterman, but Beathard is not going to go Nick Foles and help emerge as a threatening quarterback. Not with performances like these. 49ers can’t catchWe’ll get more into this when the numbers get compiled and released &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-c.-j.-beathard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authenti &amp;#8230; ard-jersey&lt;/a&gt; , but the pass catchers had themselves a day, didn’t they? Goal line passes, two-point conversions, wide-open-between-the-numbers, you name it, the 49ers couldn’t catch it. I think catching a cold is easier than what they were trying to do. Which makes one wonder. They can’t wrap up, they can’t catch. What are the 49ers practicing? Besides Kyle Shanahan’s hard offense. Some of these catches, like Cole Wick’s dropped touchdown catch, were so obvious and easy the foghorn (that goes off with every 49ers TD at home) went off for a brief moment until everyone realized it was a drop. Week 1 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-kentavius-street-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Kentavius Street Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , it’s sloppy, Week 5, it’s disturbing. No other way to put it. And here’s what I’m thinking about Those Chevy commercials during the game need to goI’m getting this off my chest. Chevrolet has a series of commercials highlighting how they are finalists or winners with J.D. Power (the absolute indicator it’s a Chevy commercial, when J.D. Power is name-dropped). It begins with a single car mentioned for an award, and ends. Then another commercial follows right after with more cars, and ends. Then there’s a third one with more cars and an end, teasing the end of what should be another lame car commercial only to extend it by, yep, another car commercial. The guy announcing everything says with this smug grin &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-jimmy-garoppolo-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , “Well, third time’s a charm.” I hope I can speak for most everyone when I say nobody likes commercials at face value. They are a necessary evil to a football game unless it’s the Super Bowl, beer, or a strutting pony. Car commercials are oftentimes the absolute worst. Teasing me the end of a commercial twice and then giving me some smug “not my fault” look on the third does the opposite of making me a customer.Chevrolet trolled me hard during with this ‘series’ of commercials. It didn’t help that the 49ers were losing when they hit. Ian Williams spent six years playing along the defensive line for the San Francisco 49ers. His final year with the 49ers was DeForest Buckner‘s first with the team after being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.Buckner is coming off a career year for the 49ers. He had 12 sacks last year for San Francisco after combining for just nine in his first two seasons combined. He now has additional firepower around him on the 49ers defensive front as well following the offseason acquisition of Dee Ford from Kansas City and the selection of Nick Bosa in the first round of this year’s draft.Williams, now an analyst for NBC Sports Bay Area, believes that less could now prove to be even more for Buckner and the 49ers.“I hope they cut down on his reps this season because it starts to show later on in a game and later on in the season,” Williams said of Buckner, via Matt Maiocco. “He can take some of these reps off.”Buckner played on 852 of the 49ers 1,073 defensive snaps last season with an additional 164 reps on special teams. Only linebacker Fred Warner was on the field more often than Buckner was in 2018 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-roger-craig-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Roger Craig Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , per Pro Football Reference.With Buckner, Ford, Bosa, Solomon Thomas and Arik Armstead along the defensive line in 2019, the 49ers should have more flexibility to dial back Buckner’s reps and maintain a similar standard of performance.“They’re in prime position to showcase their talents. Solomon and Arik, they went in the first round for a reason,” Williams said.If it also means Buckner can be fresher and produce even more, that would seem to be a win-win for the 49ers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

After the Saints won the coin toss, Brees and the Saints held the ball for more than seven minutes.Brees jumped over the pile on a quarterback keeper after his apparent 3-yard TD pass to Alvin Kamara was overturned. A review determined Kamara’s knee was down before he crossed the goal line. Brees scored on the following play, giving the Saints (2-1) the win.“This was a wild one,” said Brees, who passed for 396 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores. Kamara had 15 catches for 124 yards and ran for 66 yards.Brees’ biggest play before the winner might have been his improbable 7-yard scoring run with 1:15 remaining that forced overtime. He ran to his left and then spun to avoid tackle attempts by Brian Poole and Robert Alford.“At some point, I felt they were coming to take my head off and I could probably spin out of it,” Brees said, adding he now has film evidence to show the youth flag football team he coaches that “spin moves work. Spin moves are good.”With his 14th completed pass &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-alvin-kamara-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alvin Kamara Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , the 39-year-old Brees broke the record of 6,300 career completions set by Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Brees set the mark with a 17-yard pass to Michael Thomas in the second quarter.“I’m just very grateful,” Brees said. “I hope there’s a lot more coming. I just think about all the people who have had a hand in that. A lot of hands have caught a lot of passes. … They are all a part of this.”Atlanta’s Matt Ryan had his first career game with five scoring passes. Calvin Ridley became the first Atlanta rookie with three scoring catches. That wasn’t enough for the Falcons (1-2) against Brees and the high-scoring Saints, who gained 534 yards.Ryan bemoaned a lost opportunity when the Falcons were forced to punt when stopped at the Atlanta 44 with 25 seconds remaining in overtime.“We had chances to finish the game today and we didn’t do that,” Ryan said. “That’s disappointing.”Saints coach Sean Payton called the defensive stop “a huge part of the win.”Ryan passed for 374 yards, including 146 to Ridley, who had seven receptions, including a 75-yard TD.Ridley’s third scoring catch against the Saints was a 9-yarder early in the third quarter that held up following a review.Ryan’s five touchdown passes tied the team record set by Wade Wilson on Dec. 13, 1992, at Tampa Bay.The fifth scoring pass to Mohamed Sanu came after Saints defensive tackle David Onyemata was called for unnecessary roughness on Matt Bryant‘s 29-yard field goal. With the penalty, the Falcons’ offense came back on the field.Ridley beat P.J. Williams on his first two scoring catches, an 18-yarder in the first quarter and the 75-yarder in the second quarter.The Saints made a defensive switch, moving Ken Crawley into coverage on Ridley. Crawley was called for pass interference on a deep incompletion to Ridley early in the third quarter that gave Atlanta a first down at the New Orleans 5. On second down from the 9, Ridley’s third scoring catch gave the Falcons a 21-16 lead.Brees completed his first four passes, including a 19-yard scoring pass to Ted Ginn Jr. on the Saints’ opening drive.INJURY REPORTSaints reserve cornerback Patrick Robinson was carted from the field early in the third quarter with a left ankle injury. He did not return.Falcons safety Ricardo Allen left early in overtime with a left calf injury. He was helped to the sideline and then driven on a cart to the locker room. … Reserve cornerback Justin Bethel injured a knee in the third quarter. … Atlanta rookie linebacker Foyesade Oluokun left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.THOMAS THRIVINGThomas had 10 catches for 129 yards. His 38 catches are the most by an NFL player in his team’s first three games to start a season. His 28 catches through two games also were a record.PASSING MONTANARyan’s 75-yard scoring pass to Ridley was his 34th career TD pass against the Saints, the most by any quarterback. He surpassed Joe Montana’s 33 TD passes against New Orleans. Ryan added three more, leaving his total at 37.DROPS FOR GINNGinn dropped a sideline pass on a second-quarter drive that ended with a 49-yard field goal by Will Lutz bouncing off the left upright and over the cross bar. Later in the quarter, Ginn juggled a pass for an incompletion as he ran out of bounds on the Atlanta sideline. He finished with three catches for 12 yards.UP NEXTSaints: at New York Giants next Sunday.Falcons: Play their third straight home game against the Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Trysten Hill can do it all!&amp;quot;WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Dallas Cowboys NewsDallas Cowboys 2019 DraftOne of the best plays of Trysten Hill’s college career didn’t even come on defenseNew &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-dak-prescott-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Dak Prescott Jersey&lt;/a&gt; ,53commentsTrysten Hill can do it all!CDTShareTweetShareShareOne of the best plays of Trysten Hill’s college career didn’t even come on defenseThomas J. Russo-USA TODAY SportsThere are a lot of elements to Trysten Hill’s game to like, that’s a big reason why the Dallas Cowboys drafted him with the 58th overall pick last week.Hill looks to be one of the more disruptive defensive tackles that the Cowboys have had come through their locker room in some time. This is a position many have screamed for them to address and lo and behold, they finally did.If you’re still wondering exactly what Dallas got from their new man in the middle then you might want to listen to the latest episode of The Ocho where Jeff Sharon of SB Nation’s Black and Gold Banneret joined me to give us the details on Rod Marinelli’s new toy. They have a draft profile up on Hill that’s worth checking out, too.Among the many things that Jeff shared, for those who are unaware, is that one of Hill’s more incredible plays while at UCF last season didn’t even happen on defense. With the Knights trailing and needing a huge fourth-down conversion they gambled on a short-yardage situation. They decided to run the ball (whoa that sounds familiar) behind the fortress that is Trysten Hill.The play led to a huge UCF touchdown which turned into a thrilling victory for them. We’ve seen defensive tackles used as blockers before, but so rarely when it works out in epic fashion. As Jeff notes, it speaks to Hills versatility as an athlete, his willingness to do whatever it takes to help his team win (Jason Garrett is smiling), and basically how awesome he is at anything he does. He even shared the play with a fun edit afterwards.A lot has been said about Hill’s immaturity, but I thought that Jeff brought up a great comparison when he mentioned the movie Miracle and how Jim Craig refused to take the psychology tests that Team USA coach Herb Brooks was administering to the team. If you haven’t seen the film, Craig is the goalie for the team and simply wants to do that - play goalie. He doesn’t see the purpose in taking a psychology test and is somewhat reprimanded for it.Later on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Demarcus Lawrence Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , during a confrontation between Craig and Brooks, the former succumbs and says that he’ll take whatever test he has to in order to play. That’s when Brooks tells him that he no longer wants to see him take the test, he wants to see the guy that wouldn’t take the test play for him. This isn’t an exact comparison to what Trysten Hill experience at UCF, but considering he underwent a coaching change that wanted him to do something different, it’s comparable. He wants to play defensive tackle and destroy the pocket. That’s probably why Rod Marinelli likes him so much.A big thanks to Jeff and the Black and Gold Banneret for taking some time to educate us on who Trysten Hill is and the things that make him special. He also threw a large amount of kudos in the direction of Tony Pollard, who UCF played twice last season. He was hard for them to stop, although not too tough for his brand new teammate.Imagine Trysten blocking for Zeke! For seven seasons, Cole Beasley was beloved in Dallas. He grew up in a suburb north of Dallas, played at SMU and became a big part of the Cowboys offense despite being only 5 foot 8 and going undrafted.Now, though, he is the enemy.Unafraid to speak his mind on social media or in interviews, Beasley has rubbed Cowboys Nation the wrong way since he signed a four-year &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-amari-cooper-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Amari Cooper Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , $29 million deal with the Bills. Dallas offered Beasley a contract but didn’t value the position as much as the Bills did, with the Cowboys instead signing free agent Randall Cobb to a one-year, $5 million deal.The Cowboys “didn’t value the slot position like they do here,” Beasley said, via Tim Graham of TheAthletic.com. “That’s a big reason why I left. I want to be utilized to my strengths and have more opportunities to play football.“I felt like it was easy for me to be taken away. Really, in that offense, all you had to do was bracket me because I went beyond 5 yards rarely. And when I did, it was from the same formation; I was in the same spot all the time.”The Cowboys changed offensive coordinators, firing Scott Linehan and hiring Kellen Moore. Beasley, though, suggested on Twitter in January it didn’t matter who the Cowboys offensive coordinator was, saying the team’s front office directs where the ball goes.Beasley ranked third in targets (450) &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-ezekiel-elliott-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ezekiel Elliott Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , receptions (319) and touchdowns (23) during his seven seasons, trailing only Jason Witten and Dez Bryant. (Yes, that includes the 2018 season when neither Witten nor Bryant played for the Cowboys.)“In this offense, we move around,” Beasley said of the Bills. “We’re everywhere. It’s going to be harder to key on one guy here. It’s a lot better than where I was before.“I’ll get to run routes from spots I’ve never gotten to run routes from. It’s going to be sweet. I’m excited about it.”Beasley, 30, is rehabbing from core muscle surgery, keeping him off the practice field this offseason. But he obviously expects to be more productive in Buffalo than he was in Dallas. He also expects to be happier.“I’m just glad to be here,” Beasley said, “where it’s 100 percent about ball and not a show or a brand. It’s purer here.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;While the official 2019 NFL schedule will not be released until April &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Malik Hooker Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , every team officially knows who they will play next season. In 2018, the Indianapolis Colts enjoyed one of the easiest strengths of schedule and it certainly helped to get on a roll to an unlikely playoff berth. Next season, fans should expect a higher level of competition.In 2018, the Colts faced only two division winners outside of the AFC South. They came up short in an early season match up with the New England Patriots and shutout the Dallas Cowboys in their final push to the playoffs. They split the series with the AFC South Champion Houston Texans. There were also quite a few games against bad opponents. 9 of their 16 games were against opponents who finished the season with a losing record. 3 of the Colts 6 losses were against those teams. While every season is different and dominant teams in one year can fall apart in the next, Indianapolis currently faces a schedule that includes 5 games against playoff teams, 4 of them will be on the road. Those games include visiting the New Orleans Saints (13-3), Kansas City Chiefs (12-4), Los Angeles Chargers (12-4), and Houston Texans (11-5). They will play 8 games against teams with a winning record in 2018, adding a road match up against the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-6-1) and a two-way meeting with the Tennessee Titans (9-7).Even some of the home games against teams with a 2018 losing record could be very challenging. The Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos all have traits that make them a threat to win any game — and a history of not maintaining a streak of losing seasons for very long.Ultimately &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-peyton-manning-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Peyton Manning Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , there are few match ups on the 2019 schedule that one can mark down as a likely win with complete confidence. Chris Ballard still has his work cut out for him and will need to keep building if he hopes to deliver the Colts back to the playoffs in consecutive years. Colts add depth to their safety group by claiming former Brown Derrick Kindred&amp;quot;WhiteFanposts Fanshots Colts StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Colts NewsYahoo Colts Team PageYahoo Colts ReportYahoo Colts Depth ChartYahoo Colts TransactionsYahoo Colts PhotosShop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub &amp;#10005;NFL GeneralColts AnalysisScouting The NFLFilm Room: What does new Safety Derrick Kindred bring to the team?New,40commentsColts add depth to their safety group by claiming former Brown Derrick KindredEDTShareTweetShareShareFilm Room: What does new Safety Derrick Kindred bring to the team?Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsThe Indianapolis Colts have finally brought in a safety this off-season. They added Derrick Kindred which may not be the splashiest addition of the off-season, but is a solid ad overall. The Colts claimed the former Browns’ draft pick today and inherited what is left of his original rookie deal with the team. He was recently released by the team after they traded for safety Eric Murray from the Chiefs. In today’s film room we will look what he brings to this Colts team. He struggled a bit in 2018 compared to previous seasons so we will also cover the areas that give me drawbacks in regards to this waiver claim.BackgroundCollege:TCUSize:5’10” 210 poundsMeasureables:40 Time: 4.50 / Bench Reps: 17 / Vertical Jump: 37.5 inches / Broad Jump: 123 inches / 3-cone: 7.05 secondsCareer Stats (NFL):108 total tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, 12 pass deflections, and 2 interceptions.StrengthsVersatilityThere weren’t too many strengths that popped out to me on Kindred’s film. He really struggled in 2018 overall but I do believe that the Colts’ valued him mostly for his versatility. He lined up all over the place for the Browns for this past season. In the six games I watched, I saw him line up at outside cornerback, slot cornerback, deep safety, box safety, linebacker &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Darius Leonard Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and he played a ton of special teams as well. This versatility is certainly something the Colts value. This first clip showcases him lined up as a deep safety. Overall this is likely his weakest area as he struggles with his instincts and feel on the backend (which we will discuss later). He does a good job of coming downhill though and can make plays in the run game or in the short passing game from this area of the field as he does on this play. This next play has him lined up in the box as the box safety/linebacker role. This role is likely his best one as his instincts and speed limitations are hidden. He is a physical player and does a good job of being patient and hitting tight ends off the line. He needs to be stronger in run defense in terms of setting an edge and disengaging from blockers but overall he is decent in this role.This last clip shows him on special teams. He is solid in this area. On kick teams he is a good tackler who stays home on the outside and doesn’t allow big plays. On punt team, he displays great effort all around and makes key blocks or tackles when needed. Here he is coming down the right side and is able to track down the returner for the tackle. Effort/EnergyHow does a player make up for not being the most talented or instinctual player on the field? By giving effort on every single play. He is always involved in the action. For a team like the Colts who preach a swarm mentality on defense, his mindset should fit in nicely. If he were to ever see defensive snaps, the way he hustles on every play would be right in line with the rest of the defense.This first clip has Kindred starting off as an edge rusher of all positions. He drops into zone coverage near the sideline as the ball is snapped. Once he sees Deshaun Watson start rolling out of the pocket, he starts to come downhill out of his zone. He doesn’t stop in his pursuit until he comes away with the tackle just a couple yards down the field. This is good pursuit by Kindred and a solid tackle in open space.This next clip he travels quite a bit. He drops again into zone coverage out of his spot near the line of scrimmage at the snap. Once he sees Watson roll out of the pocket, he comes downfield to stop the run. Watson is able to find his receiver about ten yards away but Kindred continues his pursuit as he turns around and races towards the receiver to push him out of bounds. This is really good pursuit and effort.WeaknessesLike I mentioned earlier, I didn’t see too many strengths in his game from watching his 2018 film. The biggest concerns I had though were his tackling and his struggles in coverage. In terms of run defense, he scored a 42.8 grade in run defense and a 36 grade in tackling according to Pro Football Focus. PFF also noted that he missed 10 tackles while only making 34 solo tackles on the year. That is one missed tackle for around every three made tackles on the season.In terms of coverage, it wasn’t much better. He graded out with a 52.5 overall grade in this department on the year. He allowed 19 catches on 24 targets for 266 yards and 2 touchdowns on the season as the primary player in coverage. This first clip shows my main concern with his tackling. He isn’t a soft by any means but he struggles to line up his target and make good, clean tackles. He prefers to lunge at runner’s legs which results in many missed tackles. Here he dives for Marshawn Lynch’s legs which results in the miss and extra yards for the offense.In coverage, he had his fair share of struggles as well. In the box &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Malik Hooker Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , he struggled with diagnosing play-action and would lose his man quite a bit in man coverage. I think he has the strength and physicality to match up well in man but his instincts, ability to diagnose the play, and speed are concerns for me. Here he gets fooled by the play-fake and allows a reception over the middle.His lack of instincts in deep coverage are also very worrisome. He often is slow to react or makes the wrong reads when tasked with playing half the field or in single high. Here he gets caught looking at the inside route and the Raiders are able to hit the streak on the sideline where he should be in coverage. ConclusionDerrick Kindred is a decent addition that really doesn’t push the needle at all for the Colts. He is a young player who had some success in 2017 before regressing a bit in 2018. The Colts likely are hoping that he will return to the success he had in 2017 with a more simplified scheme— Gregg Williams runs a very different scheme from the rest of the NFL to put it nicely— and better overall coaches on staff to help with development. I already know what some comments will say about this film room. “Why sign a safety who can’t cover or tackle?” I get the concerns with Kindred and think that currently he could be cut before next season even starts. There is no harm in claiming him though. Add bodies and depth to an already solid roster and push for competition.If, big if, Kindred can return to form, then this is a great waiver pickup. If not, there is no risk and he can be easily cut. Overall though I do like Ballard’s approach to continually add talent and depth to this roster. Bringing in more competition can only strengthen the locker room and build on an already great foundation. Just a low risk addition overall that could pan out long-term much like how Kenny Moore II and Pierre Desir have since they were claimed off of waivers before.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;After fights break out at a training camp practice &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-denzel-ward-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Denzel Ward Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , it’s not uncommon to hear coaches bemoan the scuffling as both an injury risk and a diversion that gets in the way of beneficial on-field work.Given the number of fights that broke out at Thursday’s joint practice between the Browns and Colts, you’d expect to hear responses like that and Colts head coach Frank Reich said, via the , that he wants to “continue to try to eliminate those things.”The reaction was a bit different on the Browns side. Head coach Freddie Kitchens’s message to his team after Wednesday’s practice was that “we’re not going to back down anybody” and said after the session that he felt it was received.“These guys are resilient from the standpoint of we can identify a problem and these guys work to fix it,” Kitchens said, via Cleveland.com. “We identified that problem last night, and they came out and fixed it. . . . We just have a way that we are going to treat our practices. That is how we’re going to practice. It doesn’t matter who we’re going against. We learned a lot about ourselves from the standpoint of that’s how you have to approach it. You keep your tempo. Let everybody else adjust to yours, not the other way around.”Kitchens was happy about the way his team practiced and he’ll get to see if it carries over to the field when the two teams face off in Indianapolis on Saturday. It&#039;s finally game week and Earl Thomas&#039; contentious holdout from the Seattle Seahawks continued on Monday &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-jarvis-landry-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jarvis Landry Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , meaning the questions about their mostly unproven secondary remain the same on the cusp of the regular season beginning.The position group that&#039;s been the most recognizable on the Seahawks&#039; roster will be markedly different when they take the field in Denver on Sunday.Richard Sherman is in San Francisco. Kam Chancellor won&#039;t play this year because of last season&#039;s neck injury that likely will end his career. Thomas is away while unhappy with his contract situation, and Byron Maxwell, the last of Seattle&#039;s veterans that was around during training camp, was placed on season-ending injured reserve.That will leave Shaquill Griffin and Dontae Johnson as the expected starting cornerbacks, and Tedric Thompson and Bradley McDougald as the likely starting safeties for the opener.And while that collection has talent and could end up being very good for Seattle, for most non-Seahawks fans it may draw a collective, &amp;quot;Who?&amp;quot;Seattle coach Pete Carroll seemed to answer the biggest lingering question by saying Thompson is expected to be ready to start at free safety. Thompson had been the starter for most of training camp, but suffered a shoulder stringer and rib injury in the third preseason game against Minnesota and sat out the final week of the preseason.&amp;quot;He practiced today a little on a limited basis but he is ready to go &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-myles-garrett-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Myles Garrett Jersey&lt;/a&gt; ,&amp;quot; Carroll said.Johnson&#039;s action in the preseason was also limited. He played only the final two weeks, but Seattle saw enough to feel comfortable with him as the expected starter. Their decision was made easier when Maxwell couldn&#039;t get healthy.&amp;quot;He was banged up for a while and really didn&#039;t have a chance to show it but once he did he&#039;s showed us he has picked everything up, he has bought into the style we want him to play,&amp;quot; Carroll said of Johnson. &amp;quot;He&#039;s been really consistent. He&#039;s a big, good-looking kid out there, really on the spot, and has given us the confidence to go ahead and put him where we have.&amp;quot;Seattle&#039;s cornerback depth could be a concern if there&#039;s another injury. Rookie Tre Flowers has impressed during training camp but is making the switch from safety. Nickel cornerback Justin Coleman has proven to be a smart acquisition before the start of last season but plays a specialized position.Seattle did address some of its safety depth by acquiring Shalom Luani from Oakland for a seventh-round pick over the weekend. And perhaps there&#039;s a glimmer of hope regarding Thomas. Asked Monday if there had been any additional contact with Thomas, Carroll said there was &amp;quot;nothing to report &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-jim-brown-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jim Brown Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; ,&amp;quot; which was a minor upgrade from his blanket &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; the last time he was asked about his missing safety.CUT DAY: Two of the notable moves Seattle made to reach the 53-man roster limit were placing tight end Ed Dickson on the non-football injury list and activating defensive end Dion Jordan from the physically unable to perform list.Carroll said he&#039;s not ruling out the idea of Jordan playing against the Broncos even though this is his first week of practice. Whenever Jordan returns it&#039;ll be a boost to Seattle&#039;s pass rush.&amp;quot;He&#039;s close. We&#039;ll see. I&#039;m not going to be opposed to playing him this weekend,&amp;quot; Carroll said.Dickson missed all of training camp with a variety of leg muscle injuries. Carroll said there were three different issues that kept Dickson out, but the time he&#039;s required to be out by being on the NFI list should allow him to get healthy and contribute later in the season.NOTES: Seattle placed RB J.D. McKissic on injured reserve Monday and claimed linebacker Jermaine Grace off waivers. McKissic has been out following foot surgery, but by being placed on injured reserve after the 53-man roster was set, he can be activated following the eighth game of the season. Grace, who was in camp with Cleveland, was waived by the Browns on Sunday and gives Seattle depth at weak-side linebacker with K.J. Wright still recovering from knee surgery last week.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;SANTA CLARA &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-dwight-clark-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authenti &amp;#8230; ark-jersey&lt;/a&gt; , Calif. (AP) — As Eli Manning drove the New York Giants down the field for the game-winning touchdown in the latest loss for San Francisco, two players expected to be foundation pieces for the 49ers defense were only spectators.Reuben Foster missed his 10th game in two seasons because of injuries and suspension and fellow 2017 first-round pick Solomon Thomas remained on the sideline because he’s not good enough to be on the field at crunch time.While the season-ending knee injury to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo back in September probably ended any realistic chances of the 49ers being contenders this season, the lackluster production from coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch’s first draft class has been a major negative this season as the 49ers (2-8) head into the bye week with the second-worst record in the NFL.When the Niners return next week for the final six games, those second-year players such as Thomas, Foster and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon need to show they can be foundation pieces the team expected when they were drafted in the first three rounds.“I want them to sit there and really think of what their goals are for the rest of the half,” Shanahan said of his message to the entire team. “Do they want to solidify themselves as a starter, a backup? Do they want to be a part of it here? Do they want to be one of the answers or a solution to what we’re going through? And really when they think about all that and they understand it all and what they want, which I’m sure they all have high aspirations, I want their actions to come back and show that.”The second-year players haven’t shown that yet. Thomas, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-staley-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Joe Staley Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , has struggled even to get onto the field in pass-rushing situations. He lacks the speed to come off the edge and hasn’t shown the ability to be one of the team’s top inside rushers so he has been mostly relegated to being only a base defender.Thomas’ only sack of the season came when Oakland’s Derek Carr ran out of bounds instead of throwing the ball away two weeks ago. Thomas has just three other quarterback pressures the past seven games.The Niners traded back into the first round in 2017 to select Foster 31st overall. He showed great promise in 10 games as a rookie, but was suspended the first two games this year following off-field issues in the offseason. He hasn’t been an impact player once he returned as he has been hampered in part by shoulder and hamstring injuries.Foster has no sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries or forced fumbles in his career and has 10 missed tackles already this year, with his tackle efficiency ranking fourth worst among linebackers with at least 200 snaps.“He’s going to be fine,” defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said. “I get it, in this day and age, with everything needs to happen now. But, I promise you, Reuben is going to be just fine when this is all said and done. Second-year player &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-deion-sanders-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deion Sanders Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , to push the panic button is way, way premature in my mind.”Saleh says he believes the second season can be toughest on a player as outside influences can make them forget what made them successful as rookies.Veteran cornerback Richard Sherman sees that mostly as a crutch that needs to be avoided.“Everybody hears about the rookie wall and the sophomore slump,” he said. “Those things can happen. It can be a slippery slope. You can go downhill in a hurry.”The team’s other third-round pick C.J. Beathard, was benched after struggling in place of Garoppolo. Fourth-round running Joe Williams was cut before the season after never suiting up for the team and two of the bright spots from last year, fifth-round receiver Trent Taylor and seventh-round safety Adrian Colbert, have regressed.About the only success so far from that class has been fifth-round tight end George Kittle, who has emerged as a star in his second year, ranking third among all tight ends with 50 catches for 775 yards this season.“I believe that we can get more out of our guys,” Shanahan said. “I believe that’s up to myself, I believe that’s up to coaches and I believe it’s up to the players. I think there are guys that are doing some good things. But &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-deforest-buckner-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;DeForest Buckner Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , even the guys who are doing the best, I still think there’s even more.” I think I can agree with these.&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteNiners Nationa San Francisco 49ers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibrary49ersOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences &amp;amp; Conference CallsFiled under:Random Open ThreadsTake a look at two of the 49ers most jacked up hitsNew,13commentsI think I can agree with these.

My dad is probably golfing like he does every day after he’s done selling a bunch of radio advertising. I thought I’d put together an open thread for the evening and see what everyone is doing. Here in Seattle, we had our first few “hot” days. By “hot” I mean I have to keep the windows open and the fan on. It’s almost time for me to bust out the hammock regularly. I tried it last week, but the breeze combined with the temperature made it juuuuuuust not quite right. Really, the reason I put this thread up is so I can show this video. I was on 49ers Reddit today and someone posted each teams’ biggest jacked up moments of all time. Both of the ones posted for the 49ers are what I’d have picked as well. One is that bulldoze by Patrick Willis against a poor New York Jet and the other is Dashon Goldson sending a running back all the way back to third grade. Let us all know what you’re up to in the comments. The long period of boredom begins until training camp!

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Now that we got through the dress rehearsal game and saw that the starters are picking up right where they left off last season &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-tre_quan-smith-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tre&#039;Quan Smith Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , we can look forward to the last game of the preseason. Many backup spots are still available as a few players are battling it out as final roster cuts loom. Here’s a few that we’re paying close attention to.Dwayne Washington vs. Devine OzigboThe competition for third string running back may not be the most glamorous of position battles, but it is one of the tightest competitions. The incumbent Washington has proven his ability to contribute on special teams, but doesn’t offer much upside as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. Against the Jets he had two dropped passes, and last week against the Los Angeles Chargers had a pass bounce off his hands go for an interception. Ozigbo, an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska, has shown a willingness to fight for extra yards and good decision making as a runner.He’s also shown the ability to create explosive plays and make defenders miss when given the ball in space.Since the first preseason game Ozigbo has seen his snap count steadily increase each week (9, 22, 28 respectively) not only on offense &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-alvin-kamara-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Alvin Kamara Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , but more importantly on special teams (9 in Week 1 compared to 15 in Week 3).This bodes well for his chances to make the 53-man roster, as Washington has been a key member of both special team units, but may be out of a job soon if Ozigbo continues to show his versatility. Dan Arnold vs. A.J. DerbyAnother third string position battle, this one just heated up with Garrett Griffin getting his ankle rolled on and being carted off the sideline. While Arnold is a flex tight end and Derby is more of a traditional inline end the team may not be able to keep both based on the amount of depth at other positions, especially wide receiver. Arnold is entering his third season in the NFL where he came in as a UDFA and shortly after converted from wide receiver to tight end. There’s been plenty of growing pains for the 6’6” tight end, most notably a number of dropped passes, both last season and this preseason. Despite this, Arnold led all tight ends in snaps against the Jets with 29 and made the most of his extended playing time. On six targets he was able to make five receptions for 83 yards after a failing to make a single catch against the Chargers.Derby meanwhile has been in the league for five years and has bounced around between four different teams. Unlike Arnold &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-thomas-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Michael Thomas Saints Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , Derby converted from quarterback to tight end while in college at Arkansas and has more experience lining up inline and being used in the run game. While the stat sheet may only show one reception against the Jets, he had another nice grab erased by a penalty as well as a tackle on special teams. Rookie Alize Mack may still have a shot at making the team, but with missing so much time this preseason he looks to be a good candidate for the practice squad. Its possible the Saints keep four tight ends, but with the depth at wide receiver they may be forced to keep only three. If so, Arnold and Derby have one more game to convince the coaches they can help the team. The last time Antonio Brown became a free agent, he wasn’t free for long. This time around, he may be waiting for a while.Add the Saints to the list of teams that don’t seem to be interested in signing AB.“I think right now, where we sit &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-davenport-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Marcus Davenport Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , I like our depth at that position,” Saints coach Sean Payton told reporters on Friday, when asked about Brown. “I haven’t really paid much attention to the other teams and hadn’t heard that yet. But, it is what it is. I am focused really on the guys that are here and I thought we had a good week at that position specifically. So we’re excited to get going.”The Saints already have Michael Thomas, and the primary challenge in the short term becomes the position that distributes the ball, not the one that catches it. Still, the Saints saw first hand what Brown can do; he had 14 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns last December in what ultimately may be the last significant showing from Brown.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Both guys have been a big part of bringing value back to the position in the NFL. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones usually takes to microphones like a moth to a flame, but he didn’t talk after last Sunday’s loss to Washington and he cancelled one of his weekly radio appearances before news of the team’s trade for wide receiver Amari Cooper broke this week.Jones was back on the airwaves Friday and said on 105.3 The Fan that he avoided the media because he knows he can’t keep a secret. The team was already talking about a deal for Cooper and Jones didn’t want to spill the beans before the agreement to send a first-round pick to Oakland was in place.That was seen by many as a high price to pay for a receiver who hasn’t been at the top of his game for the last year-plus and is set to make nearly $14 million next year. That’s the final year of his current contract, but Jones said Friday, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-taco-charlton-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Taco Charlton Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , that the Cowboys wouldn’t have paid such a high price if they weren’t planning to have Cooper around for the long term.There’s more than one way for that to happen as the Cowboys could use franchise tags in place of a long-term deal. Decisions on that front will likely wait until Cooper’s actually played for the Cowboys and Jones’ hopes for how that will go are as high as you’d expect.He said he expects Cooper to change the “dynamics” of the offense and compared him to former Cowboy and Pro Football Hall of Famer Lance Alworth. Making good on that comparison would make it easier for the Cowboys to justify the price paid to get Cooper to Dallas and any future price they’ll pay to keep him there.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Colts Linebackers vs. Raiders Tight EndsThe Colts linebackers were abysmal covering the Raiders’ tight ends on Sunday. Walker and Okereke looked completely out of their element when asked to play zone coverage and the Raiders tight ends had an absolute field day. Derek Carr was 10/11 when targeting his tight ends and got 83 yards and a score. Sure &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Malik Hooker Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , the Colts were without Darius Leonard, and Walker was forced to play out of position, but allowing those kind of numbers is inexcusable for a team with supposed playoff aspirations.Like Kevin Bowen says, the coverage the Colts played here is horrible, especially considering the fact it was the 4th quarter, and if the Colts had stopped the Raiders there they would have had excellent field position. Instead, Foster Moreau was left wide open right in the middle of the field and got an easy first down. Taking a look at the play, Anthony Walker drifts right way too soon, leaving a huge opening on the middle that Carr took advantage of.It seemed as if the Colts whole defense was trying to prevent the big play throughout the whole game, and trying to play “bend but don&#039;t break” defense, however, when the opposing team can get an easy 5/6 yards on every single down, preventing the big play does not matter that much anymore. With a match-up against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce coming up, we have to hope that Darius Leonard is ready to go; otherwise &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-peyton-manning-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Peyton Manning Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , a few NFL records might be broken on SNF.Denico Autry vs. Both Raiders’ Right GuardsWith Raiders’ starting right guard Gabe Jackson out with a knee injury, Autry had a juicy match-up against veteran Jordan Devey. He failed to make a big impact on the game, even after Devey had to be replaced by Denzelle Good (former Colt) later in the game. Autry was a player I thought would have a breakout season after a solid last year. However, this has not materialized just yet, as even though he has his moments, he has been wildly inconsistent and tends to disappear at times.Colts Receivers Vs. Jacoby’s RocketsDespite many people claiming that this receiver group is horrible (even though it is certainly not very good without T.Y, a part of the blame has to be put on Jacoby repeating his old tendency of putting way too much zip on the ball on short, simple passes. Sure, NFL caliber receivers have to be able to catch a pass that hits them in the hands, but Jacoby looked like he got a bit rattled at times and threw the ball with more power than needed.Trent Brown vs. Jabaal SheardThis is a match-up that I think the Colts won, even though it was not that influential. I saw Sheard (albeit in limited snaps) going against a solid tackle while coming off a knee injury, and he played good football. He had a couple of nice run stops here and there and seemed to get pressure on Carr a few times. His return to form will be key for the Colts defense moving forward. Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke defended himself Saturday against sexual assault accusations from 2015, calling the allegations &amp;quot;untrue.&amp;quot;His name was publicly connected to the case for the first time last month, but Okereke made no public statements until after the Colts completed their first training camp practice in full pads Saturday.&amp;quot;Those were untrue allegations &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Malik Hooker Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , I willingly complied with the school investigation and was found not responsible,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I informed the team about it during the pre-draft process and right now I&#039;m just focused on making this team, helping this team out any way I can, and I&#039;m moving forward.&amp;quot;Okereke was not punished by Stanford after a university board failed to reach the required 4-1 or 5-0 vote to hold him accountable. Criminal charges were not filed, either.The New York Times initially reported in December 2016, without naming the parties involved, the board twice voted 3-2 in favor of the accuser before turning down a third request for a hearing. In June, The Fountain Hopper, an independent student-run website at Stanford, published details of the allegations and named Okereke as the accused football player.It didn&#039;t come as a surprise to the Colts.Just hours after Okereke&#039;s name surfaced publicly, general manager Chris Ballard told local reporters on a conference call that Okereke notified the team about the allegations during a January interview at the Senior Bowl. Ballard said team officials then took an exhaustive look into Okereke&#039;s background, contacting school officials and reaching out to others close to Okereke. Ballard said he also told team owner Jim Irsay of the accusations before taking Okereke in the third round of April&#039;s draft, No. 89 overall.But Ballard acknowledged nobody spoke to the accuser or her attorney and that it was a &amp;quot;very sensitive subject.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;When we looked at it and talked to him, it was an incident from four years ago. He was never charged with a crime &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Andrew Luck Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , he was never disciplined by the university,&amp;quot; Ballard said. &amp;quot;He was a team captain, up for the Lott IMPACT award, he graduated with a degree in management and engineering and he&#039;s working on a master&#039;s. From everything we gathered, we felt it was appropriate to take him.&amp;quot;On the field, Okereke was a key player for the Cardinal. He made 240 career tackles, had 10 &amp;#189; sacks, forced three fumbles and returned an interception for a touchdown in 51 career games.He was a 2018 quarterfinalist for the Lott award, which goes to the nation&#039;s top defensive player based on athletic performance and character. He&#039;s also an Eagle Scout and organized school tours at Stanford for underprivileged children during a summer internship with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.Where he fits in with the Colts remains unclear.He spent most of the first three practices backing up Anthony Walker at middle linebacker and believes he will also be used on special teams.&amp;quot;I&#039;ll play wherever they put me,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;The Cleveland Browns will be without starting middle linebacker Joe Schobert on Sunday when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road.Schobert injured his hamstring during the dispiriting loss to the Los Angeles Chargers &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-odell-beckham-jr.-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Odell Beckham Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , and while it does not sound like a major injury, Schobert is not sure how long he will be out, according to clevelandbrowns.com:It is nice that Schobert is being optimistic, but history suggests that it could be a few weeks before the Browns see him back on the field.According to a story over the summer by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, there are three types of hamstring injuries - simple pull, partial tear and complete tear - and while there is no reason to believe that Schobert has anything other than a simple hamstring pull, the news is still not good.Fowler referenced a 2011 study for the U.S. National Library of Medicine conducted by several doctors that found that players missed an average of 2.6 games whenever they suffered a hamstring injury. And if a player tries to rush back, they run the risk of making the injury worse.If the average holds true for Schobert, he may not be back until the November 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons.That will be a tough blow for a Browns defense that was already thin at the linebacker position. In addition to Schobert being out, the team lost backup James Burgess - who was released this week, cleared waivers, re-signed and placed on injured reserve. While Christian Kirksey will take over Schobert’s role in the middle &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-myles-garrett-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Myles Garrett Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and rookie Genard Avery will move into Kirksey’s slot, the Browns will roll into the Tampa game with Tanner Vallejo, Xavier Woodson-Luster and D’Juan Hines serving as the second unit.Which should be all kinds of fun. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns coach Freddie Kitchens doesn’t want his players fearing the sky-high expectations being placed on them.“I want everybody to understand this: Our goal here with the Cleveland Browns is always to win the Super Bowl,” he said. “I don’t want to ever be scared to talk about what our goal is.“If you’re not going to jump out of the airplane, then don’t put the parachute on. I want guys who put the parachute on.”The first-year head coach and general manager John Dorsey conducted a joint news conference Wednesday on the eve of training camp, which will be held at the franchise’s suburban headquarters.All tickets for the 15 open practices have been distributed, reflecting the excitement surrounding the Browns after rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield led them to a 7-8-1 season.Adding wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and defensive end Olivier Vernon — both Pro Bowl players — has changed the perception of a team that finished 0-16 two years ago and went 635 days and 19 games without a victory until beating the Jets on Sept. 20, 2018.“Odell is a great player and I like great players that want to win,” Kitchens said. “I also like great players that want to be themselves. I like great players that can get open and make big catches. All those things, I think he does very well. Our job as coaches is to put him into position to make plays.”Mayfield, Beckham and wide receiver Jarvis Landry attempted to expedite the process by working out together in California. Mayfield also spent considerable time cultivating his celebrity and got married &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-chubb-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Nick Chubb Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , but Kitchens isn’t concerned about his focus drifting away from football.“Baker knows what he’s doing, don’t ever have a misconception about that,” said Kitchens, who served as Cleveland’s running backs coach and offensive coordinator last season.“Baker hasn’t changed from the first day he got here as a rookie. I want him to be who he is, but also, he’s a 24-year-old guy and he’s got a lot of life to live. He’s not going to change for anyone. He’s always going to speak the truth. That’s what I like about him.”One area of concern is running back, where Duke Johnson publicly requested a trade after the team signed ex-Chiefs standout Kareem Hunt. Johnson did report to camp on time.Second-year pro Nick Chubb is the starter, and Hunt was suspended for eight games following an act of domestic violence that prompted Kansas City to release him. He has been placed on the active/non-football injury list with a groin problem.Dorsey said he has spoken with Johnson’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and termed their discussions productive. He also addressed Hunt’s recent argument outside a downtown Cleveland bar, noting the team and NFL consider it a non-issue.“Freddie and I both had a chance to sit down with him,” Dorsey said. “Kareem understands there are no guarantees in life. He is going about exactly what he has been going about. He is working his fanny off &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.brownslockerroom.com/authentic-bernie-kosar-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bernie Kosar Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , on the field as well as off the field.”Kitchens expects to see similar energy from the rest of the roster now that camp has arrived.“This is the only business in the world where you hire 90 guys, only to fire half of them,” he said. “Right now, we’re just a bunch of individual good players. Until we do something, that’s all we are is a bunch of good players. This game is about winning. That’s all this is about every day.”NOTES: Contract extension talks are under way with S Damarious Randall, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March. Dorsey said he has had “a lot of good conversations” with his agent, Dave Butz. Randall made four interceptions and 84 tackles for Cleveland last season after shifting from cornerback. . Dorsey wore a Browns sweatshirt and Kitchens sported a Brownie the Elf cap and team-logo pullover, which is their traditional news conference attire. “Do you think we read GQ magazine cover to cover?” Dorsey joked. Kitchens feigned shock and shot back, “Well, I might.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Today is long snapper Colin HolbaPDTShareTweetShareShare49ers 90-in-90: LS Colin HolbaWith Kyle Nelson suspended for 10 games, the 49ers had to get someone in there to handle long snapping duties and they turned to Colin Holba. Is he flashy? Not really. Did he do enough in 2018 for the 49ers to have a long snapping competition of epic proportions? Nah. Holba is here to fill in for Nelson. The 49ers have signed Nelson to an extension which is almost a stay of execution for Holba. Once Nelson is off suspension, Holba is expendable. But could he carve a spot out elsewhere? Basic infoAge:24 (turns 25 July 8) Experience: third seasonHeight: 6’4 Weight: 248Cap StatusHe is entering the second year of a two-year contract. His salary in 2018 will pay $645,000What to expect in 2019With Nelson’s suspension carrying into 2019, expect Holba to be helming long snapping duties. After the suspension is up, Holba would have to have been a god on the field for the 49ers to keep him around. He’s got six games plus a training camp to make an impact. Given that Nelson was extended in the offseason should indicate the 49ers saw all they needed of Holba in his sample size of 2018. He’s long snapping for six games, and not doing much else. Odds of being on the team after Nelson comes back from suspensionRather than odds being on the roster &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-kwon-alexander-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Kwon Alexander Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , let’s talk about his odds of sticking around after the suspension is up for Nelson. Those odds are simple: fat chance. Unless the 49ers reaaaaaally want to burn a roster spot for a backup long snapper, Holba has six games to prove to everyone that he should be the man instead of Kyle Nelson. Again: the 49ers have seen what they have out of him and extended Nelson anyways. Holba’s days are numbered. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and his team will head down to the desert, looking to improve to 8-0 on the season and take care of business. They’ll be facing off against an Arizona Cardinals’ team that has redeemed itself after a slow start to the season. Rookie head coach Kliff Kingsbury and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray have steered the ship into a 3-4-1 record before they play the 49ers.As the 49ers prepare to take on the Cardinals on a short week, here are the three matchups that will help determine the outcome of this game.1. 49ers’ defensive line vs. Cardinals’ offensive lineSan Francisco’s defensive line has been their best unit all season long, and they face another weak opponent in the Cardinals. Per Pro Football Focus, the matchup between the 49ers’ defensive line and Arizona’s offensive line should be heavily favoring the road team on Thursday.On Halloween night, the only thing the Cardinals’ offense should be scared of is the front four of the 49ers. Rookie of the Year candidate Nick Bosa &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-joshua-garnett-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authenti &amp;#8230; ett-jersey&lt;/a&gt; , along with linemen DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, and Dee Ford have been dominant this season, and I don’t see how that stops on Thursday.Murray also has a height disadvantage against the 49ers’ linemen. The Cardinals’ quarterback sits at 5-foot-10, while the 49ers’ interior linemen are both at least 6-foot-7. With a nine-inch disadvantage, Murray is going to have a tough time looking over the linemen, while avoiding the rush from the outside.2. 49ers’ offensive play-caller Kyle Shanahan vs. Cardinals’ defensive coordinator Vance JosephOne of the brightest minds in the NFL &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-solomon-thomas-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authenti &amp;#8230; mas-jersey&lt;/a&gt; , Kyle Shanahan, goes up against the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator Vance Joseph on Thursday. Joseph’s stock has fallen sharply over the last few years, thanks to underwhelming defenses, and the Cardinals follow the same pattern.Joseph’s unit is ranked in the bottom-10 of the NFL for total yards, passing yards, rushing yards and points per game. His group will face Shanahan’s offense that undressed a Top-10 Panthers’ defense for 51 points just four days ago.If Arizona hopes to keep this game close, Joseph will need to coach his unit to hold the 49ers’ offense to less than 21 points — otherwise &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-ronnie-lott-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ronnie Lott Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , this could be a blowout.3. 49ers’ tackles Justin Skule and Daniel Brunskill vs. Cardinals’ pass rushersOne of the better units for the Cardinals is their pass rush, featuring linebackers Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs. They will be going up against backup offensive tackles Justin Skule and Daniel Brunskill — who have out-performed expectations in the early part of the season.Once tackles Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey went down with an injury, there was some serious concern that the offensive line would be unable to protect quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but they have been the 6th-ranked offensive line, per PFF. If the Cardinals’ defense is going to have any kind of success, it will need to start with Jones and Suggs wreaking havoc against Brunskill and Skule.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;ATLANTA (AP) — Faced with a blitz of officiating questions and queries about the effectiveness of the Rooney Rule &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-davenport-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Marcus Davenport Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , Colin Kaepernick&#039;s football unemployment, and the cancellation of a news conference for a Super Bowl halftime show that has drawn hefty criticism, Roger Goodell scrambled.The NFL commissioner did provide some nuggets of news on Wednesday. He noted establishing a quarterbacks summit at Morehouse College in June to help get more minority coaches into the pipeline of higher-level assistant coaching jobs that are quicker pathways to head coaching opportunities. Otherwise, Goodell generally ducked the rush at his annual State of the NFL appearance as effectively as Russell Wilson.Naturally, Goodell was peppered with questions, some bordering on demands, to upgrade the officiating 10 days after a non-call late in the NFC championship game pretty much cost the Saints a spot in the Super Bowl. While agreeing that game officials missed the helmet-to-helmet hit and pass interference penalty by Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman — league officiating chief Al Riveron called Saints coach Sean Payton after the game and admitted the blown call — Goodell said the league will re-examine the officiating process.He didn&#039;t rule out adding such plays to the video review system, and he definitely didn&#039;t endorse such a move.&amp;quot;We will look again at instant replay,&amp;quot; said Goodell, who added that league executives recognize the frustration of Saints fans. &amp;quot;There have been a variety of proposals over the last — frankly 15 to 20 years — of should replay be expanded? It does not cover judgment calls. This was a judgment call.&amp;quot;The other complication is that it was a no-call. And our coaches and clubs have been very resistant and there has not been support to date about having a replay official or somebody in New York throw a flag when there is no flag (thrown). They have not voted for that in the past. It doesn&#039;t mean that we won&#039;t. It&#039;s something that we&#039;re going to put to the competition committee to see if there&#039;s an answer to that, but the reality is that&#039;s been at least an opposition philosophically for many clubs.&amp;quot;Goodell completely ruled out any use of commissioner&#039;s powers to change the call or resume the game; a lawsuit was filed in New Orleans seeking that. He also stressed that he and the competition committee will examine a potential expansion of replay to include helmet-to-helmet hits.&amp;quot;We have worked very hard to bring technology in to try to make sure we can do whatever possible to address those issues,&amp;quot; Goodell said. &amp;quot;But technology is not going to solve all of these issues. The game is not officiated by robots, it&#039;s not going to be. But we have to continue to go down that path.&amp;quot;The path to top coaching positions has been a rocky one for minorities. In a report Wednesday &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-tre_quan-smith-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tre&#039;Quan Smith Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , the AP pointed out that on 2018 coaching staffs, only four minorities held the stepping-stone jobs of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, just 7.1 percent of 56 jobs. That lack of minority coaches in the pipeline helped contribute to the NFL&#039;s sharpest-ever one-year drop in minority head coaches, from eight to three, with Brian Flores soon to become the fourth when he moves from the Patriots to the Dolphins.Many advocates of diversity in the league have questioned the current effectiveness of the Rooney Rule, in which teams are required to interview at least one minority candidate for any head coach or general manager vacancy.Goodell defended the rule, which has been used in other industries, emphasizing it has opened opportunities that didn&#039;t exist previously.&amp;quot;We don&#039;t look at the success or failure of the Rooney Rule in one-year increments,&amp;quot; Goodell said. &amp;quot;We&#039;ve had the Rooney Rule around for nearly 20 years. It has had an extraordinary impact on the NFL. Over 20 clubs have hired minority (head) coaches in that period of time.&amp;quot;We want to figure out how we can create a deeper pool of coaches so that they have that opportunity when the coaching opportunities arise.&amp;quot;— On Kaepernick, who some claim has been blackballed by the league for sparking social injustice and police brutality demonstrations during the national anthem, Goodell said:&amp;quot;I think if a team decides that Colin Kaepernick or any other player can help their team win, that&#039;s what they&#039;ll do. They want to win and they make those decisions individually in the best interest of their club. Our clubs are the ones that make decisions on players they want to have on their roster. They make that decision individually in the best interests of their team.&amp;quot;— On the cancellation of the halftime news conference following widespread condemnation of the choice of Maroon 5 and several artists refusing to participate as a sign of support for Kaepernick:&amp;quot;We&#039;re extremely pleased with the diversity, quality and the excitement surrounding our entertainers. This is the biggest stage in the world &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-alvin-kamara-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Alvin Kamara Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and I know people want to be part of that.&amp;quot;Just to be clear, as I mentioned we have close to 200 million fans. &amp;quot;We know there are segments that are going to have different reactions to different things that go on in our league. Ultimately I think people respect and admire the things we do and want to be part of it.&amp;quot;— On where owner Mark Davis will have the Raiders play in 2019 after the city of Oakland filed a lawsuit against the team that is headed to Las Vegas in 2020:&amp;quot;I think the hope of Mark is to continue to be in the Bay Area with the Raiders&#039; fans.&amp;quot; Could the Saints look to &amp;quot;The Swamp&amp;quot; to add to their re-built linebacking corps?&amp;quot;WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections InterviewsNew Orleans Saints SatireWho Dat HistoryCanal Street Chronicles TutorialNFL DraftNFL Draft Profiles2019 New Orleans Saints draft prospects: Vosean Joseph New,1commentCould the Saints look to &amp;quot;The Swamp&amp;quot; to add to their re-built linebacking corps?CDTShareTweetShareShare2019 New Orleans Saints draft prospects: Vosean Joseph Jason Getz-USA TODAY SportsThe most improved area on the New Orleans Saints in 2018 was their linebacking corps. Demario Davis had been signed as a free agent during the previous offseason and played at a Pro Bowl level. Alex Anzalone, a 3rd round pick in 2017, remained healthy and added an athletic and playmaking element along with Davis. A.J. Klein had a quietly efficient year, and all 3 players showed the capability to play all inside and outside spots, as well as the ability to stay on the field regardless of situation. Craig Robertson was re-signed in the offseason to provide depth, and insures that the team has a linebacking unit with both solid athleticism and excellent versatility. While Davis is one of the most underrated defensive players in the NFL, and Anzalone seems on the verge of stardom, Klein is headed into a contract year and has a rather high cap number. New Orleans may look to add another athletic playmaker to this level of the defense, and the subject of today&#039;s draft profile could fill that role perfectly. Vosean Joseph, LB (Florida)6&#039;1230Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsJoseph attended Norland High School in Miami, FL. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-thomas-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Michael Thomas Saints Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , earning all-state recognition as a senior. He kept his talents in-state, but moving north to attend the University of Florida. He saw some defensive action as a freshman, despite being on a team with eventual high draft picks Anzalone and Jarrad Davis at linebacker, but mainly participated on special teams. Joseph moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore, and was inconsistent but flashed potential, finishing with 55 tackles and an interception. He was a bit more consistent in 2018, leading the Gators with 93 tackles (including 9 for loss), 4 sacks, and five passes defensed. Joseph did not participate in the on-field workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine. His athletic potential is off the charts, but inconsistent performances has him likely destined for a mid-day 2 or early day 3 draft pick. Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsVosean Joseph is an explosive linebacker with outstanding range and good aggression. He has terrific change of direction, and flows seamlessly sideline to sideline from anywhere on the field. Joseph can match up with opposing tight ends in man coverage, has excellent ball skills once the ball is thrown, and can even pick up a bigger wideout in the slot. He can be a devastating blitzer from the edge &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesaintslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-davenport-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Marcus Davenport Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , providing a disruption in the backfield and has elite pursuit abilities to finish with a closing burst. Joseph slides along the line of scrimmage well against the run, knifing quickly through gaps between blockers to make a play. Joseph has very good read and react skills, but he must hone his natural instincts and aggressive nature to avoid getting caught out of position. He struggles to take on blockers head-on, and can get pushed around or hung up in traffic. Joseph packs a punch as a hitter, but can get grabby at times as a tackler instead of wrapping up and finishing. Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsVosean Joseph played many of his snaps as an off the ball middle linebacker in college, but was able to excel all over the field. He has the athleticism and reaction skills that will translate well against NFL passing attacks, with the frame to add more bulk as a run defender. His best fit initially may be on the weakside, where he can utilize his athletic ability better in open space as a blitzer and in coverage, with the possibility of moving to the middle as a nickel &#039;backer. The Saints defensive coaches insist on versatility from all their defensive players, but particularly from their linebackers. This unit is more athletic than we&#039;ve seen in years, and a player like Vosean Joseph could be a perfect fit in their defensive system.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;The Dallas Cowboys have several expiring contracts looming in their future. Could they used the 2019 NFL Draft to restock some of the positions that are likely to leave in free agency soon?&amp;quot;There are a lot of different things to look at when it comes to trying to guess what players the Dallas Cowboys might select in this week’s NFL Draft. If you want to get inside the heads of the war room &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-amari-cooper-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amari Cooper Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , then it’s a great idea to instill in your mind the Cowboys 10 draft commandments, courtesy of BTB Alum, K.D. Drummond. One of the things you’ll find on this stony tablet of draft guidelines is how the Cowboys have a tendency to follow the money when it comes to making selections. It goes against the whole “win-now” philosophy and is more inclined to think ahead to future contracts that are getting close to expire.Last year, we did a similar piece following this line of logic and two of the five prospects mentioned, Leighton Vander Esch and Connor Williams, ended up being the team’s top two picks of the draft. There’s definitely a method to this madness so it’s worth taking a look at. Let’s examine some of the team’s most costly cap expenditures and determine if it would make sense to get ahead of things and draft their replacement.Tyrone Crawford2019 cap hit: $10.1 millionYears left on deal: 2Age: 29Crawford’s name is always a popular one to come up when it comes to possible cap casualties. The odd thing was that this topic was going on during a time when his dead money hit was astronautical. Ironically, now that it’s much lower, such talk has subsided. Maybe that’s because people are coming around to the idea that Crawford is an important piece to this defensive line, despite the inflated extension he received back in 2015. Needless to say, the Cowboys can save roughly $8 million in cap space by releasing him, whether it’s this year or next. Or they could just let him play it out and hit free agency in 2020.Regardless of what happens &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-gallup-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Michael Gallup Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , the Cowboys will need bodies at defensive tackle and they will need them real soon. Maliek Collins, Antwaun Woods, and recently signed Christian Covington will all be free agents next season. Dallas needs to come away with a viable interior defensive lineman, so who should they look at?Possible replacement:Technically, Collier is a defensive end, but just like Crawford - he’s a hybrid who can play both inside and out. He’s got a good first step and has active hands to eradicate blockers. He plays with good fundamentals and a high motor. Collier has a little bit of nasty to him and loves to exploit weaknesses. He’s not a standout athlete so he’s ceiling is a little lower and that does drown out the excitement a little, but the Cowboys don’t need to get cute here. Collier is a guy who can provide quality reps not only defending the run, but as a sound pass rusher as well.La’el Collins2019 cap hit: $9.9 millionYears left on deal: 1Age: 26The Cowboys are sitting in good shape at the tackle position after re-signing swing tackle Cameron Fleming to two more years. Even if La’el Collins leaves in free agency next year, the Cowboys could move Fleming over to right tackle. While this is a solid fallback plan, the team should be looking ahead to the future to fill out their offensive line depth. Tyron Smith is still under contract for a while, but he has a lot of mileage and you can pretty much set your watch to the idea that he’ll miss three games during the season. If for some reason a starting caliber tackle falls in this draft &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Demarcus Lawrence Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , they need to be ready to pounce. That may not be what fans want to hear as it doesn’t optimize the strength of the 2019 squad, but collecting quality talent is job that never ends.Possible replacement:While a late-round developmental guy is more my cup of tea right now, you can’t overlook what Scharping would offer. He’s NFL ready right now with great fundamentals. He has experience on both sides of the line. His hands are strong and shows good coordination with his feet. Scharping is also a very smart player with high character. He’s just got all the traits this team looks for in a player and even though tackle is not a pressing need, it’s never a bad idea to have extra talent at the position. He’s a guy who could step in and be the eventual successor of Collins at a low cap cost.got a bargain by exercising his fifth year option last offseason while he qualified as a safety. If he stacks another year on top of what he did last season, that’s just great value for the Cowboys. But on the other hand, his late emergence as a top caliber corner means the team will have a tough decision to make. With so many young stars coming up on second contracts, will Jones will included with them? The Cowboy may decide to take a less expensive route and that would involve reloading through the draft. With Anthony Brown’s contract also up after the season, the team needs to add more depth at the cornerback position.Possible replacement:It’s very puzzling that the Cowboys didn’t bring more corners in for pre-draft visits. With so many quality players available on Day 2, you’d think there would be a handful of players brought in. They did give us a taste of what they’re looking for with Baylor’s Derrek Thomas being an official visitor, but he’s extremely raw. He’s also got good size, speed &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-dak-prescott-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Dak Prescott Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , and very athletic. Should the team roll with a similar type player who is far more seasoned, they could go after Central Michigan’s Sean Bunting.Bunting has great length and is physical at the point of attack capable of hindering the path of the receiver. He’s extremely competitive who will fight through the whistle. Not only does he posses the physical makeup Kris Richard looks for in a corner, but he changes direction well and has the athletic ability to explode to the ball. Again, addressing this position isn’t the most optimal for the 2019 group, but don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Just do it collect great players.Ezekiel Elliott2019 cap hit: $7.9 millionYears left on deal: 2Age: 24Technically, Ezekiel Elliott has one year left on his deal, but let’s be honest - they said picking up his fifth-year option is simply a formality which is putting him on the books for two more seasons. Then what? Well, some would tell you that Elliott’s worth his weight in gold and making him the top paid running back is only reasonable. But then there are others who will argue that spending money on a position that has the highest turnover of NFL-ready players doesn’t make much sense. Honestly, both sides make sense. And while I’m on “Team Zeke” and don’t think he stands any shot of getting away, it’s important to be open to all possibilities.Possible replacement: Let’s do a little math here. Damien Harris was one of three running backs the team brought in for a pre-draft visit. Harris is projected to go sometime on Day 2, possibly as early as the second round. The Alabama running back is a well-rounded player who can handle whatever is asked of him. He’s not ultra athletic &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Demarcus Lawrence Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , which is why he could be available, but he can run, catch, and pass protect very well. If something happened to Zeke, Harris is good enough to keep the ground attack going. So, that begs the question - how much different would the team be with Harris as the lead back? It may not be the Cowboys intent to replace Elliott, but there is a long list of recent stars whose exit we didn’t see coming. If the Cowboys are truly about drafting pure and Harris is still on available at 90, you’d have to believe he’d be in the mix as a possible candidate. Having another talented running back on the roster on a cheap four-year deal would certainly give the front office something to think about once Zeke’s contract is up. Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill says he apologized to coach Doug Pederson for trash talking the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week.Grugier-Hill told a Philadelphia television reporter on Wednesday: &amp;quot;Look at Dallas&#039; history. They always choke. So we&#039;ll go down there and make them choke.&amp;quot;The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles (6-6) visit the Cowboys (7-5) on Sunday with first place in the NFC East on the line.Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott responded Thursday first by asking &amp;quot;who&amp;quot; when told of Grugier-Hill&#039;s comments.&amp;quot;Coach (Jason) Garrett has a great saying, and I don&#039;t know where he got it from, but winners worry about winning and losers worry about winners,&amp;quot; Prescott added.Grugier-Hill wasn&#039;t available until Friday. He expressed regret to Pederson because he said he put his coach &amp;quot;in a tough spot.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;It&#039;s a rivalry game. I didn&#039;t think too much about it. I didn&#039;t mean to disrespect this organization or coach Pederson &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-ezekiel-elliott-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ezekiel Elliott Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; ,&amp;quot; Grugier-Hill said. &amp;quot;I have a lot of confidence in the guys and in myself going into this game, and I&#039;m ready to play.Pederson made it clear to the third-year player the comments were unnecessary.&amp;quot;First of all, the Philadelphia Eagles, myself, we have a ton of respect for the Cowboys,&amp;quot; Pederson said. &amp;quot;It has nothing to do with that, we have a ton of respect for coach Garrett. ... It&#039;s unfortunate that the comments were made. I talk to the team a lot about how we don&#039;t need to post anything that can be used on other team&#039;s website or bulletin board. It&#039;s unfortunate that happened. We still have to go play. They have to play. It&#039;s going to be a good football game.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Adam Vinatieri has made plenty of tougher kicks in his career. The two last-second field goals to win Super Bowls &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Darius Leonard Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , a 45-yarder through the snow to win a playoff game and 46 field goals from at least 50 yards in the regular season and postseason.Vinatieri&#039;s 25-yarder at the end of the second quarter in Indianapolis&#039; 42-28 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday will surely be one he never forgets.With that kick, Vinatieri passed Hall of Famer Morten Andersen to become the NFL&#039;s all-time leading scorer. He added three extra points in the fourth quarter to give him 2,550 for his career — six more than Andersen.&amp;quot;I never thought I&#039;d play that long,&amp;quot; said the 45-year-old Vinatieri, who is in his 23rd NFL season. &amp;quot;I never thought I&#039;d be standing here talking to you guys about all-time records. But I love my teammates — all of them — for the last 20-something years, unselfishly going out there and helping me do my job. A lot of great memories along the way. I think that&#039;s the best part about this day — less the record and more that we got the record in a win.&amp;quot;Vinatieri wasn&#039;t sure the record would come this week after re-injuring his right groin last week against Buffalo. He was limited in practice this week but was healthy enough to play the game.He made an extra point and a 26-yard field goal in the first quarter to tie Andersen&#039;s record before hitting the kick at the end of the half that made him No. 1 by himself.&amp;quot;I played against him back in 2007, when he was in Atlanta and it might have been about his last year and I just thought, &#039;Man &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-peyton-manning-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Peyton Manning Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , this is unbelievable. This is a record that will never be touched,&#039;&amp;quot; Vinatieri said. &amp;quot;He&#039;s done it so long for so many years and so prolifically, that you know I just thought, man, it&#039;s untouchable. But I guess as you keep going and you just stack years upon years, the numbers start stacking up.&amp;quot;Vinatieri entered the league with New England as an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State. He won the job with the Patriots his first season and helped the team reach the Super Bowl.Vinatieri reached legendary status in the 2001 season when his 45-yard field goal on a snowy night shortly after the Patriots were given a reprieve by the &amp;quot;Tuck Rule&amp;quot; against the Raiders forced overtime in a playoff game. He kicked a game-winner in overtime to send the Patriots to the AFC championship game.He then made the winning 48-yard kick on the final play of the Super Bowl to lead the Patriots to their first championship and help launch a dynasty.Vinatieri made the winning 41-yarder two years later with four seconds left to help New England beat Carolina for a second title. He won the Super Bowl again the following year with New England and then after the 2006 season with the Colts.He&#039;s still going strong more than a decade later.&amp;quot;I really don&#039;t think we fully appreciate what just happened, or really playing with Vinny,&amp;quot; quarterback Andrew Luck said. &amp;quot;He doesn&#039;t make a big deal out of anything. He approaches everything with such a professionalism and humility and deflects attention &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Womens Andrew Luck Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , that I think we get blinded to how great — truly great, great — he is. I love playing with him. He&#039;s taught me so much about how to handle yourself and about how to be a pro.&amp;quot; INDIANAPOLIS&amp;#160; — Adam Vinatieri celebrated one major milestone Sunday by becoming the NFL’s career field goal leader.He would have preferred doing it by adding to his league record for victories.The 23-year veteran made the record-breaking 566th field goal with 2 seconds left in the first half and No. 567 on a 44-yarder in overtime to give the Indianapolis Colts a 34-31 lead before watching Ka’imi Fairbairn make two more field goals to give Houston a 37-34 victory.“It’s more fun when you get a win that’s for sure. But it’s a good record, a fun record, just would have been nice on a win,” he said.“I think I’ll probably think about it more when I’m done and gone. I was thinking about it when guys were congratulating me during the game, and it just kind of hit me just like that that’s more than anybody’s ever done.”The previous record of 565 belonged to Hall of Famer Morten Andersen, who played high school football at Indianapolis Ben Davis.Vinatieri tied the record by making three kicks in last week’s wet loss at Philadelphia before breaking the record on a bright, sunny day on his home turf.Had he not gotten the chance Sunday &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-hooker-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Malik Hooker Jersey&lt;/a&gt; , Vinatieri’s next chance would have come Thursday at New England, where he started his career in 1996.But the 45-year-old kicker, the oldest player in the league, kept that story line off the books by making the medium-range field goal to get the Colts within 21-10. Afterward, Vinatieri’s teammates wanted to celebrate more than the new career leader did.“I heard the crowd a little more than usual. I think every one of my teammates came up to me, we were down at the time and was kind of like, ‘We’re down let’s go win this game,&#039;” he said. “Wish I had one more opportunity &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-luck-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Andrew Luck Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , I guess.”Vinatieri needs to get used to these sorts of days given the charts he’s still climbing.The South Dakota State alum played in his 341st game, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer George Blanda to move into fourth. If he plays in all 12 remaining games, he will pass Jeff Feagles (343) and tie Gary Anderson (353) for second all time.His next field goal attempt will surpass Anderson (672) for No. 2 all time.And Vinatieri has moved within 26 points of breaking Andersen’s career scoring record of 2,544. Vinatieri has said he also hopes to break that record at Lucas Oil Stadium. He is the only player on Indy’s roster who played on opening night of the stadium in 2008.What Vinatieri, dubbed the best clutch kicker in league history, does best is win.He’s participated in a league-record 226 regular-season victories, owns four Super Bowl rings, has played on six AFC championship teams and is the NFL’s career scoring leader in postseason games (234 points).His most memorable kicks do not count in the official league records.He made the decisive field goals in the final minutes to give New England two Super Bowl wins and two field goals in the infamous “Snow Bowl” &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecoltslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-leonard-jersey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Darius Leonard Jersey White&lt;/a&gt; , or “Tuck Rule Game”, to help the Patriots beat Oakland in overtime and start the run to the franchise’s first Super Bowl crown.But he would have liked to win this one.“It’s weird, you know, you come off a loss and it doesn’t feel quite the same way,” Vinatieri said. “I’m sure I’ll look back at in years to come and it will be pretty special.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>
