The Jacksonville Jaguars season looks to be already over. After four long years of "rebuilding" a depleted team that had very little, if any bright spots on the team thanks to Gene Smith and Mike Mularkey. In comes Seattle Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley and Atlanta Falcons' Director of player personnel Dave Caldwell. Both filled with energy & hope. Something the Jaguars were lacking. After picking in Luke Joeckel, Blake Bortles, Dante Fowler and Jalen Ramsey the team seemingly garnered some hype after Blake Bortles broke the Jaguars team record for passing touchdowns in a season.
With that conservative plan of thinking and coaching style, expect this to be a very long season for the New York Jets and quite possibly a very short one for head coach Todd Bowles. The only rhythm this offense has shown was the very first play of the preseason in which Josh McCown was playing with the first team, scoring this
Bradley's time in Jacksonville was unremarkable to say the least, as he compiled a 14-48 record before he was canned two games before the 2016 season ended.
The two interceptions are a major key for Winston as they have been a bugaboo for him in his young career. Tampa will need him to continue to take care of the ball, if they want to have a chance to make a playoff
Overall everyone in Deanna’s family has been very supportive throughout her cancer treatment, even her husband’s Green Bay Packer fans. The person who had the most psychosocial issues during her treatment is her husband Brett. From the beginning Brett is extremely nervous about it possibly being cancer. During the day of the diagnosis he is continuously calling to see if she has any news on the test results. After telling her husband she has cancer, she explains that her confident husband had a pale face, he didn’t know what to say and she believed that he was more shocked than she was. He was supportive when he asked if he should quit playing football so he could spend more time with her. Arthur Frank argues that “illness such as cancer is
Last season, it was obvious the Buccaneers defense seriously lacked in several areas. The defensive line struggled to get a sufficient pass rush and in turn forced a struggling secondary to play on it's heels. However this off season, the Bucs made several moves that, in theory, should help both areas improve tremendously.
The Jags. I have talked about them time and time again, but since the football season is starting back up, I have to do a current event on them. Their lineup is good. The addition of Miles Jack is important, also the adding of a new quarterback. He will be a good backup for Blake Bortles, who is currently very bad. The Jags have never been good. If they have never been good then why didn’t they get the good draft picks?
Regarding the state of labor relations, many players wish they could say that they are positive. "Labor relations is in dire straits, obviously. And I'm sure everyone's got a finger to point, and everybody's got a person to blame" Winston states.
Overall, the team didn’t take any huge losses during the offseason. Julius Thomas walked to join the Jacksonville Jaguars (maybe he got tired of winning?), but Virgil Green and Owen Daniels together show enough promise that Thomas shouldn’t be missed too
The Bears suck this year literally, they just blow. Like I’m a really big bears fan and i'm not even watching them anymore because they can't even win a damn game and its really sad. Lets hope they can get the game together next year and get better draft picks that might just help them out. What also that can help them win a damn game is a better defense, just watching them makes me want to cringe and turn the TV off. Now if you thought this offense was underwhelming last season (21st overall), wait until you watch them take the field without do-it-all running back Matt Forte, now a Jet, and tight end Martellus Bennett, who got traded (for virtually nothing) to the Patriots. THE PATRIOTS. Jesus. The Bears may as well have sprung Aaron Hernandez
The Giants’ 2015 season was a disaster. Despite playing in the abysmal NFC East the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. Late game collapses, player-melt downs on the field, and overall dysfunction surrounded the Giants from week one to seventeen. But with a new coach and an abundance of offseason moves, fans of the Giants have hope- hope that their team’s offseason victory will translate to victories on the field.
For the first time since 2010, the Packers have lost two consecutive games in which Aaron Rodgers was the team’s starting quarterback. This offense which just six weeks ago looked unstoppable, has been abysmal over the previous month; averaging a mere 21.4 points per game. The team has been riddled with injuries all season. We severely overlooked Jordy Nelson’s season ending injury in August. Without Nelson, the offense has been a shell of it’s self.
First, the (limited) amount of bad news. Quarterback has not changed much, and keeping Tony Romo healthy is job one. He does come into the season in better shape than he has been in the past three years or so. The team has to hope he does not miss any significant time. There are good reviews for Brandon Weeden, but they don't sound all that different from last year's reports on him, and we all painfully remember how that turned out the one game they tried to rely on him. Dustin Vaughan may or may not be an answer, but right now he does not look to be an answer this year.
The Jaguars are in the number 10 spot just because of their great defense. They don’t have a great franchise quarterback yet and they have a promising running back. They came off of a clutch win on the Seahawks and they will make it to the playoffs.
The Panthers’ defensive front has gotten bullied in both the run and the pass game, while their secondary has looked shaky. On offense, Cam Newton hasn’t been as sharp, and he has been hit much more than he was last season.
Soldiers returning from combat face a wide range of challenges in adjusting to civilian life. These challenges are compounded by the high susceptibility of combat-experienced soldiers to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and overlapping symptoms of traumatic brain syndrome. As the two articles considered hereafter demonstrate, the U.S. military has sought better ways of understanding the primary symptoms and health consequences of traumatic brain syndrome with an interest in driving better outreach and treatment. The discussion will address the value of both articles in contributing to this aim.
