Raiders Case Study

But since there is only three quarterbacks trying out so he will be the third string quarterback. When he is trying out he wasn't doing the best and he was missing throws everywhere. Granger's other quarterbacks were doing well so nothing happened with the quarterback situation. At practice the next day and more he was doing

“It’s going to all focus off the run game.” said Fisher. “If need be we’re going to hand it off to Todd (Gurley) and if someone says, ‘we’re not going to let you do that’, then we’re going to spread it around. And so when it’s all said and done, I think we’ll be able to look back and I think see Tavon maybe double in catches over what he had last year. And that’s the most important thing; it’s just to get the chunks downfield.”

Michael Thomas a 23-year old, 6’3, 209 pound dynamic wide receiver out of Ohio State. Look at any mock draft, any big board, or any prospect rankings and look for Thomas. What do you see? I looked at a combination of over 100 different mock drafts, big boards, and player rankings, and much to my surprise, on average Thomas was rated as the sixth best receiver in the draft.

With summer camps starting up, Ayers was back on the field this summer. The Giants have great expectations for him during the 2015 season. He did not make it out of the first practice without having to be carted off the field, however, having gone down during a play with a potentially injured ankle or

Bree’s suffered a bruised rotator cuff in his right throwing shoulder against the Tampa bay buccaneers. His injury occurred when he was sacked by a buccaneer defender on a pass play. He never left the game when he felt the injury and decided to finish the game.

The former University of Florida and Wharton High School star has been told the right cornerback spot is his to lose. But when the Bucs go to their sub packages with five defensive backs, Hargreaves moves inside to the slot, showing the kind of versatility by a defensive back not seen in Tampa Bay since Ronde Barber retired.

The Panthers drafted Funchess 41nd overall in this years draft he was a standout at Michigan! The Panthers are making it very clear that they want tall targets for cam Newton to throw to. A good thing because when Newton is off he tends to throw high and now with the size of our receivers they might be able to snag more of those high throws. Funchess is 6’4 225 paired with Benjamin is going to be a matchup nightmare in the red zone because all Cam Newton has to do is throw a jump ball and our guys will have a great chance to catch it!

During the second quarter of the week two matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Garoppolo suffered a shoulder injury after taking a hit from Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso that kept him out for the rest of the game and during the two remaining games during Brady suspension.

Problems with the Redskins receiving corps has been a sore point with Kurt Cousins since the team reported to Redskins Park for the start of the 2017 season. Cousins had a deep connection with receivers deshawn Johanson and piere garsone over course of his young career. When healthy, the trio has combined for some spectacular performances. Washington chose not to retain their services this year and Cousins was forced to rely on two new and unproven receivers. Terrelle Pryor was acquired in the offseason. Pryor, a former quarterback had one decent year for the Cleveland Browns in 2016, with 77 receptions and 1,007 yards. He has yet to make the full transition to wide out and has a horrible penchant for dropping passes. He shows some reluctance to go over the middle and tends to "short arm" balls. Players have a nickname for receivers who exhibit this trait, "alligator arms." Not exactly a compliment. Pryor has demonstrated this irritating habit numerous times this season. He dropped a sure touchdown pass against the Eagles in week one, perhaps coasting the Redskins a victory. The other receiver who has yet to live up to his potential is Josh Doctson - last year's number one draft choice. He has struggled with injuries and has yet to separate himself from the other receivers. Doctson's dropped touchdown pass against the Chiefs

Jordy Nelson is a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, and he and Aaron Rodgers make magic together on the field. The only problem is that Nelson got injured last season. He was ready to start this season, and everyone was hopeful. But during week one he was injured again. It might be time to dump Nelson for someone else.

"Our corners have had a few good practices, especially Hakeem Bailey," defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. "He's a guy that keeps making play after play. He's got some picks. He's got some nice pass breakups. I think he's doing a really good job. Elijah Battle is solid, doing everything he needs to at this point. Mike Daniels. So we got some guys. Corey Winfield is a new addition. He's learning and I think hopefully as we get deeper in camp, he will be able to make some more plays for us. Trying to bring some young guys along, too."

Falcons wide receiver, Julio Jones, got the start as well tonight. Like Ryan, Jones looked solid, catching four balls for 61 yards and a touchdown.

"I think he’s worked extremely hard, all last year…on the practice squad,” McCoy said. The success he had last night in the return game didn’t surprise me at all.”

There was some concern about Wendell Smallwood character who was arrested back in 2014. Smallwood was charged with trying to get a witness to recant statements that implicated a friend of Smallwood's in a 2012 fatal shooting in Wilmington. Those charges were dropped. Smallwood was able to lead the Big 12 in rushing with 1,519 yards, with 9 TD’s and added 8 games with 100 or more yards. Smallwood was able to run a 4.47 at the 40 yard dash at the combine which gave him the 5th fast time for running backs and was also The Top Performer in the 3 cone drill and 60 yard shuttle. Smallwood can also catch the ball out of the backfield. Smallwood should rotate with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles next season. The Eagles have been adding offensive lineman this off-season both in FA and Draft which will help the Running game.

Wisconsin’s first game of the season will feature two of the premier running backs in all of college football. Leonard Fournette from LSU is a 2016 Heisman favorite and is coming off a superb sophomore season. On the others side, Corey Clement from Wisconsin is looking to rebound from an injury filled 2015 season and reposition himself as a solid Big Ten running back.
