After this, I won't be talking about antonio brown anymore

1/4/2022

  • I'm so sick of talking about Antonio Brown already. The truth is, we'll probably never know what actually happened, because a) Brown is undoubtedly not to be trusted for the truth, as he has shown us repeatedly; and b) Bruce Arians will likely sugarcoat things, so as not make the team look bad while heading into the postseason. While rumors have been swirling that Brown was injured and was almost forced to go back on the field, he certainly looked healthy for most of the game, no? When asked what happened, Arians had this to say  (but he did not reveal what was said in the actual conversation he references). And we're done talking about Antonio Brown.

Here's full quote on Bruce Arians on Antonio Brown: "I don't know that he was (injured). It's pretty obvious what happened. He left the field and that was it. ... We had a conversation and he left the field."

  • The Minnesota Vikings had to start Sean Mannion, who was god awful on Sunday night, which led us to think: Kellen Mond can't be that much worse than this, right? Turns out, he might be. Head coach Mike Zimmer doesn't seem impressed by the rookie quarterback. I mean, damn.

Does Mike Zimmer want to see Kellen Mond next week in the season finale?

“Not particularly.”

Why?

“I see him everyday.”

  • The No Fun League strikes again. While the NFL asked all teams to do a moment of silence in honor of John Madden's passing this past week, apparently individual tributes are off-limits. DeSean Jackson said on Instagram that he wanted to wear these specially designed cleats in honor of Madden, but was ordered to take them off before the game or he wouldn't have been allowed to play. WTF? 🤔

  • The Washington Football Team is in the news once again for the wrong reasons. After a video went viral on Sunday of a railing collapsing and almost falling onto Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, everything has been fixed. This goddamn team fixed the railing with zip ties! At least pretend like you care. Too much to ask for Dan Snyder, I guess. Looks just like new. Zip. Ties.

The raiders started off strong

While the Cleveland Browns are absolutely depleted with COVID, the Las Vegas Raiders started things off on the right foot. Quarterback Derek Carr threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Bryan Edwards for a 7-0 lead.

the Browns get in the game with a chubb

With their entire team on the COVID list -- literally -- the Browns were finally able to get something going on offense in the third quarter. Running back Nick Chubb took the ball in the endzone with a four-yard run.

they almost didn't... but the Raiders won

If the Raiders had lost this game, they deserved to forfeit every remaining game on their schedule. But, no. They managed to pull it off with an excellent game-winning drive by Carr. But it was Daniel Carlson who managed to kick it for a 16-14 win.

Eric Kendricks ejected for late hit

Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks was ejected in the fourth quarter for a late hit on Bears QB Justin Fields. Kendricks hit Fields as he was sliding, helmet-to-helmet, which is a major no-no.

THE DROP-BACK: Wednesday November 24 - Should brady be penalized for this slide?

11/24/2021

0 Comments

 

buccaneers

We all remember when Tom Brady was fined $10,000 for sliding and purposefully ("accidentally," according to him) kicked Ed Reed in the leg, right? Well, it appears he may have done it again. Brady slid during a scramble in Monday night's Tampa Bay Buccaneers win against the New York Giants, and as he slid, Brady raised his leg right into Giants DB Xavier McKinney's lower leg. So, what do you think? Accident or on purpose?

THAT'S OUR QB! □

Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens were able to squeeze out a win on Sunday without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, and it looks like he'll be well enough to be under-center next week. Head coach John Harbaugh said, "he felt good today. I don't know how good. But he feels much better today, from what I was told." So have we figured out WHY the Ravens made him travel to Chicago in the first place? Let me know.

vikings

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kirk Cousins has been the main reason for the Minnesota Vikings' success this season. (Before you ask me if 5-5 is considered "successful," they're currently in playoff position and have had back-t0-back wins. Baby steps.) Cousins has been taking more shots downfield, and it's been paying off. Of course, head coach Mike Zimmer wouldn't mind if Cousins continued to do more of that. "I want Cousins to keep doing it like he's doing it. He can't second-guess himself."

Washington

This season, Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke was thrown to the wolves as the starter after Ryan Fitzpatrick was injured. Through an up-and-down season, Heinicke is currently on the "up" trajectory. Head coach Ron Rivera acknowledged that Heinicke has continued to grow throughout the season. "What we want from that position is a guy that can manage it and then make plays when he needs to. And this is what this guy does. He's smart. He understands the game. He's just a guy that, again, has only had 11 starts, and we'll see how it continues to go." Heinicke is totally gonna trick Washington into not drafting a quarterback again, isn't he?

packers

After Aaron Rodgers' COVID fiasco, there's another roadblock in his way: an injured toe. Rodgers has said it's a little worse than turf toe, and it's pretty painful. However, Rodgers plans to play through the injury, as it's likely his last season with the Green Bay Packers.

How's the toe Aaron??

"It's worse than turf toe & it's definitely not going away.. I've already talked enough about my medical status on this show" □□ ~@AaronRodgers12#PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/GSt30ttahR

jets

Heavy sigh. On Tuesday, the New York Jets announced that rookie QB Zach Wilson was cleared to start on Sunday against the Houston Texans. That's good for them because they don't have many other options. After being listed as close contacts, the Jets put both Joe Flacco and Mike White on the COVID-19 reserve list. Don't say it.

The Jets have placed QB Joe Flacco and QB Mike White on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

  • Andy Dalton will start for the Bears on Thanksgiving.
  • The Cardinals cut Chris Streveler, after signing Trace McSorley on Monday off the Ravens practice squad.

THE DROP-BACK: Wednesday 08/04 - Stafford is tough tough

8/4/2021

rams

  • Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is taking it easy after banging his thumb on a helmet following Monday's practice. The original thought was that he would miss a few days even though his x-rays were negative, but Stafford was out on the field doing some light work during Tuesday's practice. Peep the bandage on his thumb. Brace yourselves for reports of him being "so tough."

dolphins

  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hopes that jump in Year 2 sets his career rolling a la Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Whether he does that or not has yet to be seen, but his teammates seem to be on board. Safety Eric Rowe said, "I just believe it's that year-two jump that everyone needs to make from their rookie year... Now seeing training camp, a lot more deep routes, they're allowing him the opportunity to throw it deep."

vikings

  • While the rest of the Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks are on the COVID-19 list, Jake Browning, a practice squad guy, is prepared to take advantage of his opportunity. "I've been preparing like that for two years, so the opportunity presented itself. I felt like I was ready."

bears

  • I mentioned yesterday that Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields was highly professional during his presser, something guys can struggle with during their first year. He was super honest and forthcoming in explaining how he's been preparing, and mentioned that having two 10-year QBs in Andy Dalton and Nick Foles only helps him get better. So I'm here to gush about him some more. "I'm constantly growing," he said. "A lot of people are anxious to see me play, but greatness doesn't happen overnight." Food for thought.

broncos

  • The Denver Broncos are still trying to decide who will start at quarterback for the season. Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock are still neck-and-neck for the position, but offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur says he's seeing a push from both. I think it would be more beneficial if one was better than the other, but what do I know?

Does OC Pat Shurmur see separation between Lock/Teddy B? "I've seen both guys getting better. This is the best version of Drew I've seen. He's done a really good job. And I expected Teddy to come in ... Teddy's got experience, he's got experience in multiple offenses." #9sports

colts

  • Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz had surgery on Tuesday for a foot injury that's apparently been plaguing him for years. While he has to sit out anywhere from one month to three, the good news is, it's one and done. There are no other concerns with Wentz's foot, and it's onto recovery followed by the rehab process.

ravens

  • The Baltimore Ravens expect their starting quarterback Lamar Jackson to be off the COVID-19 list this weekend after testing positive for the second time in less than a year. To make things seem better and to get the heat off of the anti-vaxxer, Harbaugh mentioned that the backup QBs are getting a ton of reps and are getting better. "The fact that those two guys have gotten those reps, they've had to deal with all these pressures, all these blitzes, they've been in there with the ones and twos. It's got to be good for us from a depth standpoint, developing those guys." Well yeah, but it really doesn't help if your starter isn't getting reps with the wide receiver group that he desperately needs to practice with. ​

steelers

  • I feel like every year, we're thinking, "Is this the year when Ben Roethlisberger is outta here," and we never really get our wish. While it's been widely speculated that 2021 could either be it for Roethlisberger in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform or in an NFL uniform in general, the team is saying that they haven't ruled out a return in 2022. "It's not written in stone that this is his last year," owner Art Rooney II said. ​
  • Speaking of Steelers quarterbacks, reports from Pittsburgh have been very complimentary on former Washington QB Dwayne Haskins. Head coach Mike Tomlin has been very favorable of Haskins as well.

colts

  • ​Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is hurt (again). The team is hoping for a minor setback and not a major one, but the more reports come out, the worse they get. It started with just a "twinge" at practice and then escalated into "might need surgery" in about an hour. Wentz will visit with a foot specialist (what a title), Robert Anderson, to determine the injury's severity.

Update on #Colts QB Carson Wentz: He will see noted foot specialist Robert Anderson in the near future, sources tell me and @RapSheet. A firmer timeline for his return will be established at that point. For now, the team is taking solace in Week 1 still being 6 weeks away.

— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) July 30, 2021
  • UPDATE: Wentz will not have surgery right away, and will rest the injury for now and hope it improves. If it worsens, Wentz could risk surgery and won't be available for the season opener.

#Colts QB Carson Wentz plans to try to rest and rehab his foot injury over the next few days, source said, rather than have immediate surgery. If all goes well, Week 1 is in play. If it doesn’t improve, the answer may be surgery.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 1, 2021

Browns

  • Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. haven't been able to precisely get on the same page since they've been together due to various things. This could be the year when they click. Mayfield said the two are working on building on more chemistry in year three. "When it comes down to the chemistry stuff, every rep matters for us, but then just the terminology and speaking outside the building, not just about football. That goes such a long way when it comes to chemistry and that trust factor, and we've made huge strides." Cleveland is coming off their best year in a (very) long time, and OBJ could be a piece that elevates them even higher.
  • Browns GM Andrew Berry is also counting on another good season for Mayfield and depends on him to build upon last year's success. "He's made a ton of growth both on and off the field. We're looking forward to him having another fantastic season."

Patriots

  • The New England Patriots are a team heading into the 2021 season with a question at the quarterback position. Cam Newton is the current starter, but there's still a (minimal) chance that rookie Mac Jones could settle into that spot. That could create some tension between the players, but not in this case. Newton spoke about his support of Jones during the first few days of camp.

Cam Newton says he’s impressed with Mac Jones, including his knowledge of rap music. pic.twitter.com/lUaf6KWm0l

— Mark Daniels (@MarkDanielsPJ) July 30, 2021
  • Jones returned the sentiment, saying Newton has been a "great teammate. He's helped me and made it a lot of fun. Your first practices as a rookie are going to be hard, so he just tries to stay positive with me."
  • Newton is working hard on improving this season is his decision-making and rhythm while running the offense. "It's just taking the brain longer at times. But hopefully, with a lot of repetitions, it'll be good."
  • One quarterback who is OUT of the New England QB competition thus far is Jarrett Stidham​. He had back surgery Friday and is expected to be sidelined for 12 weeks. Damn, have to put my Stidham jersey on ice for a little bit. 

#Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair a back injury, sources say. Stidham should be able to return in roughly 12 weeks or so, as the procedure was not season-ending.

jets

  • While he did sign his rookie contract late, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is present and accounted for at training camp. And in true Jets fashion, he was underwhelming in his first practice. I'm going to consider the fact that he took a red-eye across the country, and it's his first day before I start actively making fun of him. Wilson agrees.

“It’s going to be a process.” Zach Wilson says. He doesn’t feel he was behind. It was just first day in a while with “live bullets” #Jets

ravens

  • Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is currently sidelined with COVID-19 for the second time and is missing quality time meshing with his wide receivers and the rest of the team. While Jackson can't get that time back, offensive coordinator Greg Roman says Jackson is still with the team, only mentally. That's like when I mean to respond to a text, and I respond mentally without actually responding to the person. ​

Ravens OC Greg Roman on Lamar Jackson's absence: "It's certainly not a positive. But we got to create a positive out of this thing. We got to get a great plan when he does come back on how we can try to make up for the time as best we can. That's really the game we have to play."

— Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) July 30, 2021

buccaneers

  • As if we need to talk about Tom Brady some more, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback's knee is one of the hot topics of conversation, and he's sure to be asked about it approximately 650 more times this summer. Brady said Friday that his knee "feels good now." So can we stop?
  • Bucs' QBs coach cannot, in fact, stop. Clyde Christensen says he thought everyone knew Brady had a torn MCL. "It kind of surprised me; I thought everyone knew. When I first met him, he said, "Hey, my knee's not 100 percent..." No, we all just assume Brady will be great with any sort of injury ever. Thanks, Clyde.
  • There are actually other quarterbacks on the Bucs' roster. Rookie Kyle Trask likely will not start until Brady says he's had enough, but they don't want him to do nothing and not develop. "You know, we try to get our little extra sessions, him and I. That'll be a challenge all season," Christensen said.

cardinals

  • Many people have been talking about Aaron Rodgers' comments lately, including Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who said he appreciated the MVP's honesty.

Kyler Murray was a big fan of the Aaron Rodgers press conference, although he said Rodgers has earned that right.

“People like to sugarcoat s**t. I Iove how honest he was.”

— Darren Urban (@Cardschatter) July 30, 2021
  • Speaking of personnel decisions and involving your QB in those decisions, the Cardinals consult Murray from time to time, which is why Rodgers is pissed. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury explained why it's essential to involve your players; it gives them a different perspective. "Those guys have as good a feel for players, players' personalities, and talent as any of us because they have been on the field, and they have worked with them. I do think that goes a long way."

cowboys

  • Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off of a horrendous ankle injury. The good news is, his ankle is okay. The bad news is, he has a shoulder injury now. The severity of the injury isn't known, but it's not expected to be that serious. Prescott thinks he could have strained it due to not warming up properly.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott on shoulder: “I don’t necessarily know if I warmed up properly before I made a certain throw on one of the days.” A long throw. “I wasn’t as warm as I probably needed to be when I threw that.” pic.twitter.com/OM0Xc6BAPh

— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) July 30, 2021

bears

  • With quarterbacks Justin Fields and Andy Dalton poised to take the Chicago Bears' starting and backup jobs (respectively), what will happen with Nick Foles? Head coach Matt Nagy says he expects teams needing a veteran QB should be calling the team to ask about BDN. "I mean, anybody that's had the career he has is somebody that's always going to be... for all teams, as a third-string guy, teams are going to look at guys like him." Translation - please call about him because we don't know what to do with him.

vikings

  • After all but one Minnesota Vikings quarterback decided to take the initiative to get vaccinated, the team is working out QBs for the week after rookie Kellen Mond tested positive for COVID-19. Minnesota will work out some guys named Case Cookus and Jackson Erdmann on Monday. Get vaccinated.

lions

  • And, for a feel-good story of the weekend: Detroit Lions players had a watch party for backup quarterback ​David Blough's wife, Melissa Gonzalez, advance in the Olympics (because she's a badass). The best part to me was their good luck video before the race.

We're pulling for you, Melissa❗️ pic.twitter.com/sGuB3sqlR7

The Minnesota Vikings are signing linebacker Todd Davis to a one-year deal, after visiting earlier in the week. Davis was formerly with the Denver Broncos​.

The #Vikings are signing former #Broncos LB Todd Davis to a one-year deal, per source.

Minnesota lost LB Anthony Barr for the season with a pectoral injury. Of course, there's also a coaching connection; Davis played with Vikings offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak in Denver.

Todd Davis visiting Vikings

Former Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis is visiting the Minnesota Vikings, and is expected to sign after he completes a physical and COVID-19 testing.

Todd Davis was Broncos leading tackler 3 of past 4 years. Team captain last time Broncos had season-long captains in 2018.
Vikings OC Gary Kubiak no doubt vouched for Davis as he was his head coach in Denver in 2015-16. #9sports https://t.co/v4Vx8wqhsJ

Linebacker is a position the Vikings need immense help with, as they lost Anthony Barr this week after a torn pectoral injury.

Danielle Hunter could be out for Vikings

9/9/2020

0 Comments

 
The ​Minnesota Vikings have been trying to keep quiet on the status of star defensive end Danielle Hunter's status, but the guy who may be responsible to play in case of his absence may have just spilled the beans.

#Vikings LB Eric Kendricks, asked on Danielle Hunter, who hasn’t practiced since Aug. 14, entering Sunday “A guy like Danielle he brings a whole other type of game in It’s going to be hard to a replace a guy like that but we have guys that also are hungry and want to step up too"

— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) September 9, 2020

This could purely be just speculation on my part (and the many others who are speculating), but the fact that he hasn't practiced in about a month is quite concerning. There were even rumors of a holdout since the team traded for ​Yannick Ngakoue. There should be an injury report out today which should give us a clue if this is actually​ an injury, or just a smokescreen.
