Throwing Peters into a star-studded defense coordinated by Wade Phillips has the potential for serious fireworks. Could he threaten double-digit interceptions, or will quarterbacks simply avoid him in 2018?

The Dolphins made several additions before the draft, signing veterans such as Danny Amendola, Albert Wilson, Josh Sitton and Frank Gore and trading for Robert Quinn, but getting versatile defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first round should pay off immediately for Miami’s defense.聽

Not only will Fitzpatrick be asked to play slot cornerback and safety, Colt McCoy Youth jersey but he could be the weapon the Dolphins need to combat a tight end like Rob Gronkowski, whom Miami faces twice a year. His ability to wear many hats and handle responsibilities against both the run and pass should give defensive coordinator Matt Burke an answer for all kinds of offensive formations and sub-packages.

Cousins is now surrounded by weapons, both on the ground (Dalvin Cook) and in the passing game (Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph), and he’ll have the benefit of playing with one of the game’s best defenses. If he can provide an edge at quarterback, while managing the game and accentuating what the Vikings already do well, Minnesota should be a clear favorite atop the NFC in 2018.

So if you see Patriots (-14), it means the sportsbook thinks that it can get equal action on both sides by guessing the Patriots will win by 14 or more points, probably because they are angrily extra-motivated by accusations of cheating or coming to terms with their own mortality or something. If you pick the Patriots and they win 35-22, you lose.
Dave Henderson Kids Jersey
By the way: The Patriots are 0-5 against spreads of 14 or more points in the past three years. When the spread is that big, per Pro Football Reference, the NFL as a whole is 3-10 against the spread (or ATS, as the cool gamblers say) since 2015. Those big spreads are a sign that many casual gamblers are betting based on the reputations of the teams, so the sportsbooks are trying to entice action toward the underdogs. That means you shouldn’t wager along with the homers and bandwagon jumpers. And you thought this article would be nothing but gags!

The over-under or number is the number of points/goals/runs the teams are projected to score in a game combined (or can be applied to longer-term bets, like how many games a team will win in a season). If the over-under is 48.5 and you bet the over, you win if the final score is 28-21 but lose if it’s 28-20.

The Raiders have signed former Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson, according to a report from the NFL Network.

The Chiefs selected defensive lineman Kahlil McKenzie, son of Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie, last week in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

At the same time, NFL clubs have reduced the length of offseason and regular-season practices, as well as the amount of contact allowed in both, as part of a new labor pact struck with the players union in 2011. DeCamillis believes that agreement led to an unintended consequence 鈥?sloppier fundamentals and tackling techniques that are causing players to get hurt more.

Some of the things technique-wise we can get across 鈥?keeping our heads up, how we’re teaching tackling and blocking -鈥?those are the things that you see over and over on the film that we’ve gotta eliminate,DeCamillis said. I think guys are really making an effort to Womens Vadim Shipachyov Jersey do that, but it’s going to take a lot more effort on our part. We just have to do a better job of coaching it as much as we can.

Baltimore has also added defensive ends Myles Humphrey and Christian LaCouture as undrafted free agent signings in the last two weeks since the NFL Draft.

Gregorius didn’t talk to reporters before Saturday’s game, but Boone addressed the topic at length in his pre-game media session.
Limited Bill Mazeroski Jersey
I think it’s a matter of he’s not in a real strong powerful position like he was most of the first month where he could do damage, Boone said. Sometimes right now when he’s barreling balls, it’s not quite with the impact just because he’s so good at touching the ball if he decides to swing.

Boone went to explain how Gregorius makes contact on pitches that many other big leaguers don’t hit, but that they’d mostly led to groundouts, flyouts or popups during his slump.

I think sometimes we’ve seen through this stretch where he’s hit frankly a fair number of balls on the nose, but maybe not with that slug impact that we’re used to seeing, Boone added. I think part of (the reason for) that is because he’s so good at getting the barrel to the ball. When he goes to swing, if he’s not in a great position to really hit it with authority, it results in putting it into play for an out sometimes. Sometimes it can be a result of something he’s really skilled it.

Cavs must maintain sense of urgency entering Game 4, Ty Lue says

Leave a reply

Down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference finals heading into Saturday’s Game 3, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue had desperation on his side as his team played with a have-to-have-it edge in their 116-86 blowout of the Boston Celtics.

Now Lue is tasked with distilling that same sense of urgency for 48 hours heading into Monday’s Game 4 (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Next year could bring a bump for several NHL players — and teams — however. The upstart Vegas Golden Knights already had measurable data in 76 countries as the most-searched NHL team in the world. Players like Hall and Nathan MacKinnon emerged as MVP candidates, and will certainly garner more discussion. Unrestricted free agent John Tavares and the Ottawa Senators’ Erik Karlsson, one of the league’s best players and the focus of rampant trade rumors, will be heavily Googled and tweeted about this offseason. And maybe some player’s Twitch stream will become a sensation.

Playing in a division that includes three playoff teams from last season is a good way to start in a hole. The Buccaneers have only two other 2017 postseason teams (Eagles and Steelers) on the docket, but they still face the fourth toughest schedule in the NFL with their opponents’ combined winning percentage from last season at .531. And that’s before you factor in the improvement teams like San Francisco and Chicago have made this offseason.

Toughest tests: The Bucs finishing last in their division last season gives them the chance to play other fourth-place teams in the conference. For a team on the rise like Tampa, that should be a good thing, but it might not be the case this year. Last year’s conference losers in San Francisco and Chicago have improved on paper and easily can give Tampa Bay a run for its money in those matchups.

Both Andrews and Brown were third-round picks.

Andrews made 112 catches for 1,765 yards and 22 touchdowns in his career at Oklahoma, including 62 receptions for 958 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

I use [Game 3] as fuel. I thought it was embarrassing. Thought we came out, the way I played, the way I performed, how not aggressive I was in the first half, I look at that as fuel to come out in Game 4 and be excited about it and be ready to play and ready to fight.

It still took Paul, a 13-year veteran and nine-time All-Star playing in his first conference finals, a while to get in a rhythm Tuesday night. He went scoreless during the first quarter and didn’t record an assist until an inbounds pass in the final second of the frame.

Paul missed his first four shots from the floor, including a left-handed layup early in the second quarter that didn’t even hit the rim, before finally getting a midrange turnaround to fall with 8:33 remaining in the half.

Paul caught fire minutes later, scoring 12 points in a span of 2:39 as the Rockets took the lead with a 17-5 run to close the half. Paul’s scoring flurry featured three 3-pointers — the first a fadeaway from deep in the left corner that Kevin Durant tightly contested — and a layup.

Paul had seven points during the Rockets’ rally in the fourth quarter, which he started with a 17-foot pull-up jumper immediately after the Warriors pushed their lead to 12 points, matching their largest of the night. Paul also had two of his four assists during the 24-9 run that gave the Rockets the lead for good, capping it with a feed to Eric Gordon for a 3-pointer that put Houston up five with 2:27 to play.

Adames homered off Boston ace Chris Sale in his second major league at-bat, sending an 89 mph changeup over the left-field fence. It was the first time in his career Sale allowed a player’s first career homer, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

Pirates center fielder Austin Meadows hit his second homer in as many games off Amir Garrett in the seventh inning, leaving him 6 for 15 Kerry Wynn Jersey in his first four major league games. Meadows faced Garrett in the minors and knew what to expect.

Nationals: 1B Ryan Zimmerman, on the 10-disabled list with a right oblique strain, took 50 swings Monday, manager Davey Martinez said. .Rain and a lingering illness have prevented second baseman Daniel Murphy (right knee surgery) from participating in extended spring training, Martinez said.

Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (3-3, 3.15 ERA) gave up a season-high five runs in six innings while taking the loss May 7 against Washington.

Nationals: Martinez did not announce the starter for Wednesday’s contest before Tuesday’s game. RHP Erick Fedde, currently with Triple-A Syracuse, is a potential spot start candidate.

Hamels limited the slugging Yankees to four hits over seven innings, and Jurickson Profar and Ronald Guzman homered for the Rangers in a 6-4 win Tuesday night.

Game Youth Trey Hopkins Jersey I’m just here to play and trying to remain healthy and maintain what I can do out on the field, and just getting good results and enjoy playing the game of baseball, Hamels said. That’s really all I can care about. … All of the decisions are not up to me. The only decision I have in my hand is to throw the baseball and get guys out.

Hamels (3-4) struck out seven and walked two during his first start in 11 days. He was scratched from his previous turn because of neck stiffness.

He was really good. The cut fastball was a real weapon for him, threw some good changeups, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. We knew we had a tough opponent tonight in Hamels.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister said Hamels was fresh and had probably the best mix pitches we have seen from him all year. … Kept the hitters off balance.

Houston used a 9-3 spurt, where Womens Ryan Kesler Jersey James Harden scored five, to cut the lead to 103-96 with less than five minutes to go. But Thompson struck again, hitting a wide open 3 to leave the Warriors ahead by 10 with four minutes left.

Severino, who didn’t give up a hit through the first three innings, got help from two spectacular plays on line drives. In the third, first baseman Tyler Austin laid out to his right to snare Matt Joyce’s liner with a runner on first base. In the fourth, third baseman Miguel Andujar jumped as high as he could and nabbed Mark Canha’s liner with two men on.

Not to be outdone, Dellin Betances grabbed a comebacker by sticking his glove out behind his back and not even looking. He got Joyce out easily at fist base.

Kids Dan Bailey Jersey Chad Green (seventh) and Betances (eighth) each threw scoreless innings. Betances appeared to cut his finger. The Yankees’ trainer examined it and seemed to blot blood from Betances right middle finger. Betances stayed in the game.

The gap in the process leaves the door open for prognostications and little else. Waves of predictions will flow over the barren landscape like rain pummeling a dry plain. Most of those guestimations will be made by media personalities paid to keep the clicks and eyeballs rolling in during the NFL’s downtime.

Sometimes, however, the smoke comes from a more notable source; one that stops and makes you reconsider whether it’s simply a scorching thought to gain attention. Such a take took place recently when Denver Broncos general manager John Elway gave his assessment of the AFC West following the draft.
T.J. Lang Youth Jersey
It’s the wild, wild West. I thought the Chargers did a really nice job with the draft, Elway told reporters in Omaha, via The MMQB’s Peter King. They’ve got the settled quarterback, even though the Raiders do too. Looking at it, [the Chargers ] may be the ones to beat. As I stand here, looking at it, the Chargers might be the team to beat.

It’s hard to argue with Elway’s assessment in mid-May.

Texans Sign Entire Draft Class

Leave a reply

As a busy Thursday for rookie signings winds down, the Texans don’t have any more work to do on this front. They reached agreements with each member of their draft class Thursday night, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports (on Twitter). Here’s the full rundown:

Canha then ripped a two-out single with two men on, scoring both runs. It came immediately after German and Yankees manager Aaron Boone complained to plate umpire James Hoye about a pitch they felt was a strike three but he called a ball.

Gregorius came into the game 0-for-his-last-28 and went hitless in his first two at-bats. Then he singled in the fifth inning. When he got to first base, he turned to coach Reggie Willits and yelled, Wow!

Dungy, 62, will be honored during the Bucs’ Sept. 24 home game on Monday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team Dungy played for in 1977-78.

I am very humbled and thankful for this honor, Dungy wrote on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon. I will always be grateful to Malcolm Glazer and the entire Buccaneers organization for all they have done for me and my family. Looking forward to September 24.

Dungy’s honor comes a year after Jon Gruden, but it was his sustained success that set the table for the Bucs’ magical 2002 season.

He undoubtedly loves it even more now. Turay became the 52nd overall pick in last month’s NFL Draft and now the Colts are hoping they can take this still-raw defensive end and turn him into a pass-rushing terror.

There’s some debate about how tall an order that will be. It isn’t difficult to find those who think Turay was drafted too early for a guy with limited statistical production and a history of shoulder injuries. But the Colts are all-in on Turay’s potential, sort of like Rutgers was without having seen him play in an actual game.

The question is who replaces Nate Solder, overpaid to stand guard on Eli Manning’s blind side. If first-round pick Wynn isn’t ready to step in, Cannon might have to flip sides, with former 49ers right tackle Brown joining the starting lineup. A 2017 third-round pick who missed his rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs, Garcia could be a dark-horse candidate at left tackle.

Mike Gillislee in danger of not making Patriots’ roster

Last year, New England signed running back Mike Gillislee to a two-year, $6.4 million contract and sent a fifth-round draft pick to Buffalo to acquire him as a restricted free agent. This year, Gillislee is in danger of not making the Patriots’ roster.
Authentic Kids Tyrell Adams Jersey
The Patriots are likely to keep four or five running backs, and three of them 鈥?Rex Burkhead, James White and first-round draft pick Sony Michel 鈥?are locks. Gillislee, Jeremy Hill, Brandon Bolden and undrafted free agent Ralph Webb will all be competing to make the roster, Brian Robison Jersey according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.

That points to what a disappointment Gillislee was last year: Although he was New England’s primary ball carrier for the first half of the season, he was benched for the second half of the season and only played in one game after Week Eight.

Warner added that he reached out to a coach about doing just that this season.

I was actually ready to, for this coming season, I actually talked to a coach and my wife said, ‘Go for it, I think it would be great,’ Warner said, via Yahoo Sports. So I actually talked to a coach about possibly doing it if they needed someone, but then they went out and signed somebody. I don’t think they thought I was serious. So I think we’re completely done now.

The Orioles lost six games in a row last week before winning Friday, which tied for their second-longest losing streak in the past seven seasons. They lost seven in a row last season, and before that, they lost nine straight in July 2011. That year, Baltimore finished 69-93 in the basement of the AL East. One bright spot has been Manny Machado, who had his 17th career multi-HR game for the Orioles last week, breaking a tie with Frank Robinson (16) and tying Brady Anderson for the fifth most in franchise history. — Nitzberg

Amid that legal brouhaha, two funding companies filed a memo with the court in November 2017 noting that Seeger served on the board of directors at Esquire Financial Holdings — a firm he had not included on the list he made for Brody. Seeger responded by noting he had left Esquire’s board in May 2016. He said his prior directorship had nothing to do with his recommendations to the court to bar specific funders from doing business with the players.

But Seeger, who stands to earn more than $70 million for his law firm, Seeger Weiss LLP, because of his lead role in the settlement, was considerably more active on behalf of Esquire Bank than he has previously stated. He recommended Esquire Bank to attorneys for former NFL players, and he also helped Esquire develop its concussion settlement funding program.
