Now Garrett, like Turner and Zampese had to work with, has the tools in place for the offense to be a juggernaut. Starting with the receivers, Garrett has a beast in Dez Bryant (6-2, 225 lbs.) able to dominate with the same prowess Irvin took to the gridiron, and Terrance Williams (6-2, 208 lbs.) opposite of Bryant with some similarities as Harper (can get up and get the ball). Notice the comparison in size that Irvin and Harper had? Insert Brice Butler (6-3, 215 lbs.) and the Cowboys have the ideal receivers wanted in the system – prototypical sized route runners able to get downfield.
The Bills try to negate the loss of Eric Wood and Cordy Glenn by selecting the versatile interior lineman out of Ohio State.
We have explored several corner prospects over the past few weeks. Each would be a tremendous upgrade to what is already on the Steelers roster.
Fast forward to this year’s draft and the Eagles replicated this same philosophy in the fourth round.
As Jarrett Bell of USA Today first reported Tuesday, Le'Veon Bell's three-game suspension has been reduced to two games as a result of settlement conversations following the running back’s appeal.
When Dez broke his foot week 1 there was confidence in some that Williams would step up, and not be Dez Bryant, but help keep this offense rolling to where they wouldn’t miss Dez a whole lot. But of course things like that didn’t plan out so well. Williams to me is a 50/50 player who that you don’t know which player you will get each Sunday. Some games you’ll get the Williams that catches just about
The Dallas Cowboys have terminated the contract of running back Ryan Williams just days before the team’s training camp opens on Tuesday, as reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Dockett was probably the biggest shock. After never missing a game for the first 10 seasons of his career and earning three Pro Bowl selections with the Arizona Cardinals, Dockett just hasn’t been the same (apparently) since missing last season with a knee injury.
Another option is Brandon Marshall who also recovered from an injury, Lisfranc. He was second on the Broncos with 102 tackles marking his second consecutive 100 tackle season. He is a complete linebacker with the ability to stuff the run or drop back in coverage. Fortunately, the Broncos might not be able to retain Trevathan, Marshall and their star outside linebacker Von Miller.
With Smith likely to be red shirted in ’16 and the rest of the defensive draft picks not fancy enough, it’s hard to think at the moment that the Cowboys’ defense can become a playmaking unit and improve from their dreadful production in the takeaway department. At the same time, adding meat on the interior by signing Cedric Thornton and drafting Collins could give the Cowboys a better push inside, opening up the gaps for the linebackers shoot through while improving the outside rush – and though Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory are suspended for the first four games – let’s not forget that we saw an uptick in Lawrence’s game last season and that Gregory still has lots of upside to be special. Of course, that’s if both youngsters can keep their noses
Marcus Smith is very close to become a big bust. The Eagles selected Smith 26th overall in the 2014 NFL draft. Smith had 16 sacks in his draft year. Smith has played in 21 career games and has total of 6 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his two year career. Smith has never started a game for the
This season, the Philadelphia Eagles' running game came back to life under new head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson installed a running back by committee with Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, and Warren Smallwood, which was successful. In 2016, the Eagles' running game was ranked 11th in the league, averaging 113.3 yards per game, which is shockingly a slight improvement from 2015, where they only averaged 108.9 yards per game.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for the broken-jawed Geno Smith, there should be a good amount of rushing early in the season. Oh, and they
Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers: This guy is not even the first option on his team, but still beats out other No. 1 guys like Mike Evans and T.Y. Hilton, but how? Well, he’s in the greatest offense in the NFL. The fact of the matter is, the second guy in an Aaron Rodgers offense gets more quality looks than most other No.1 guys. The key word here is quality. He had 126 targets last year, that’s less than DeAndre Hopkins, Kelvin Benjamin, and Steve Smith Sr. He outscored all of those guys. This goes to show that Aaron Rodgers can boost receivers, and he certainly has great playmaking ability. Still not the number one guy, but there are worse options at WR1.
According to Gang Green Nation, though the Broncos have one of the best defenses in the league, it would be best for them if they will let Richardson join them and give a scare to all teams in the NFL. With Vance Walker torn an ACL and his comeback are uncertain and Sylvester Williams becomes a free agent, Richardson will be the perfect answer for this forthcoming dilemma.
