Tyrod Taylor: Baker Mayfield Jersey presence won’t change the way I work

Elite Kids Daniel Sorensen Jersey
The Browns have insisted since the draft that Tyrod Taylor is their starting quarterback and head coach Hue Jackson did so again on Monday during a pre-OTA golf outing.

Mayfield is unlikely to go the way of Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Ricky Stanzi or Nathan Enderle and the long-term job security won’t get any better in Cleveland, but anything Taylor can do to show he’s the best choice right now should serve him well as the Browns try to get to two wins in a season for the first time since 2015.

Bowles added that he wanted to see Bridgewater out there throwing and competing with everyone else and things got off to a good start on that front Tuesday. According to multiple reports from Jets practice, Bridgewater, who has only played a handful of plays since injuring his knee in August 2016, followed Josh McCown in quarterback drills with first-round pick Sam Darnold going third in the order.

Bridgewater continued to work in team drills, so it seems like any limitations are minor ones at this point in the schedule.

Several of those reports include video of Bridgewater dropping back and throwing passes and he looks smooth enough doing it, although that’s the bare minimum you’d expect during a May practice conducted at a comfortable pace. If Bridgewater should continue to look good as things ramp up, it will make for a more interesting quarterback competition this summer.

So far, Matt Harvey is making good on his second chance.

The former Mets ace Trevor Linden Youth jersey allowed only one run over six innings for his first win with the Cincinnati Reds, and Scooter Gennett hit his fifth grand slam in the last two seasons on Tuesday night for a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

John Elway Jersey: Bolts might be team to beat in AFC West

Free agency is mostly done. The draft has been wrapped up in a tight bow. We’ve hit the portion of the NFL calendar where the next several months the void will be filled mostly by large men running around in shorts, sans pads.

The Chargers have Dino Ciccarelli Womens Jersey a proven franchise quarterback, weapons at receiver, a workhorse running back, and an improved offensive line. Los Angeles also boasts what could be the best defense in the NFL in 2018, with a dynamic pass-rushing duo, and a deep group of lockdown corners. The addition of rookie safety Derwin James gave the Chargers D playmakers at every level.

Surely, those positives are what Elway sees on paper.

You’re not going to come in and just knock them out, Houston coach Mike D’Antoni said. There were too many times where we had mental lapses. We didn’t switch properly, turned the ball over and missed too many layups. We need to do a better job of staying up mentally.

Now the Rockets are left to regroup after losing their leg up in the homecourt advantage they worked all season for.

It’s nice to have home court, D’Antoni said. (But) we don’t have it. Now we’ve got to go get it.

Severino mixed his fastball well with his changeup and slider, but got no strikeouts or even swings and misses on his breaking stuff. He got 10 swings and misses on his fastball, which had its typical high-90s zip. He hasn’t lost since April 10 in Boston.

Jed Lowrie’s single in the fifth brought home Jonathan Lucroy. It cut the Yankees’ lead to 3-1. Lucroy scored from second. Right field Aaron Judge almost threw Lucroy out at home but the ball short hopped catcher Gary Sanchez, who couldn’t handle it. Judge was given an error.

Adrian Peterson Not Planning To Retire, Mentions Multiple Teams Have Made Contact

Nearly two months after the Cardinals released Adrian Peterson, the 11-year veteran has experienced an off-the-radar free agency stay. Unlike last offseason, he hasn’t been connected to any teams since his Arizona departure. But he’s not planning to retire.

For a time, Tiger Woods would embrace the destiny his father had forecast for him, paying homage to the history of the sport, to the lonely pioneers such as Lee Elder and Charlie Sifford, black pros who endured the insults and indignities of playing a game in a white world that could not have been more metaphoric of the impediments to the American dream for black people. As with Michael Jordan, the seasoned Nike ad machine was there, choreographing the legend that was being built on the course, the ads voiced over by the father (even after Earl Woods died in 2006), reinforcing his specialness, packaging his destiny.

Also signed were second-round choices Kemoko Turay and Tyquan Lewis, fourth-round running back Nyheim Hines, fifth-round pick Daurice Fountain, sixth-round picks Jordan Wilkins and Deon Cain as well as seventh-rounders Matthew Adams and Zaire Franklin.

Phillies manager Gabe Kapler re-iterated what he said after Friday night’s collapse against the New York Mets.

Hector Neris will close out games for the Phillies when he is the best option.

Neris is 1-3 with a 5.17 ERA. He has eight saves in 11 chances and has entered in the ninth inning in 16 of 17 chances.

Two of the blown saves came this week – the only two losses in a six-game stretch – and both of them were spectacular. He didn’t record an out in a 5-4 loss to Washington Sunday, giving up two hits, two walks, a hit batter and two runs.

Barkley is the highest running back selected in the draft since Reggie Bush Jersey in 2006.

The Giants haven’t had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2012 Authentic Brandon Sutter Jersey and haven’t had a top 10 NFL rushing attack since ranking No. 1 in 2008. Barber was the last Giants’ Pro Bowl running back in 2006, before Manning’s two Super Bowl wins.

Manning put away that toughness Monday to cuddle up with some puppies for Guiding Eyes, a nonprofit that matches guide dogs to people with vision loss. Manning has been involved with the organization for more than a decade.

Larry Allen Authentic Jersey You see the impact these guide dogs have on people’s lives, giving them their independence and freedom to live a fuller life, Manning said. That’s a great gift to give somebody.

Of course, it wasn’t all McConnell — Dario Saric emerged after struggling all series, leading the聽Sixers with 25 points. The Celtics impressively defended Joel Embiid again — he shot聽6 of聽15 — but he still managed 15 points, 13 rebounds and two assists. Ben Simmons had 19 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

Justin Gilbert Authentic Jersey As a team, the Sixers only committed eight turnovers while forcing 15 of the Celtics, and won despite shooting 7 of 26 from three-point range.

On the flipside, the Sixers finally managed to slow down rookie Jayson Tatum, who scored 20 points but was 6 of 15 from the field before scoring when the game was already out of reach late in the fourth quarter.

The Sixers-Celtics will return to action for Game 5 in Boston on Wednesday, time TBD.

Also at the game: ex-Sixers center Dikembe Mutombo and rapper Lil Uzi Vert.

Panthers sign five draft picks, including Donte Jackson Jersey

The Panthers announced Thursday they signed five of their eight draft choices.

Norton, who played at Miami, was the 242nd overall pick. In his three seasons as a Hurricane, Norton compiled 84 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and five sacks.

Carolina’s seven undrafted rookies 鈥?Womens Steve Larmer Jersey quarterback Kyle Allen, running back Reggie Bonnafon, guard Kyle Bosch, linebacker Chris Frey, guard Taylor Hearn, guard Brendan Mahon and defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle 鈥?also signed contracts Thursday.

Elite Mens Troy Hill Jersey Pederson said that Wentz is making progress each day, but added that it can be a fine line when it comes to doing too much too soon as a result. For now, the plan is to just continue the current process for as long as it takes for Wentz to make it all the way back.

I’m not going to rush him out there. I’m not going to expose him, Pederson said, via ESPN.com. He’ll be ready when he’s ready, and when we feel he’s ready. Right now, we’re encouraged with the progress he’s making.

Wentz has not been cleared to do anything in practice beyond rehab work and throwing the ball, something that is unlikely to change until training camp. His level of participation as August unfolds will give the best idea about his odds of being in the lineup against the Falcons on September 6.

Should Matt Patricia have volunteered information about his past indictment?
Elite Mens Jonas Valanciunas Jersey
This one’s well-known but just as strange: Then Saints coach Mike Ditka traded his entire 1999 draft (and his first and third picks in the 2000 draft) for Texas running back Ricky Williams. The Saints gave away eight picks in total, including two first rounders, to move up from the No. 12 spot to No. 5.

Ditka wasn’t wrong about the potential in Williams, who ended up rushing for over 10,000 yards in his career. But he accomplished most of that in Miami after lasting just three years in New Orleans.

Pete Carroll wants Shaquem Griffin Jersey to focus on football 鈥?and he is

With the draft in the rear-view mirror and rookie minicamp underway, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll knows it鈥檚 important for one of the best stories of the draft to make football his full focus.

[Shaquem] looked very aggressive, Carroll said. We had to slow him down some early on in the practice and in the walk Authentic Justin Gilbert Jersey through, he was going too hard. So we had to chill him out a little bit. But he鈥檚 very excited about being here. He鈥檚 a very good looking prospect. He鈥檚 big and fast and had a good feel for what鈥檚 going on. Obviously, [brother Shaquil Griffin] had done a little bit of tutoring 鈥?he was ahead of us a little bit with his learning, which was good.

As a fifth-round pick, there鈥檚 no guarantee that Shaquem Griffin will make the 53-man roster. But he likely slid due more to the fact that he鈥檚 missing a hand than the notion that he can鈥檛 bring it. He definitely can, and he鈥檚 now getting the chance to show what he can do.

Not to be cocky, Boone recent said via Craig, but I feel I鈥檓 a little talented.

Limited Mens Jalen Collins Jersey Boone, who played at the University of Cincinnati, will get a chance to prove his talent in the competition for the third tailback spot on the roster, behind Cook and Latavius Murray. The other contenders include undrafted rookie Roc Thomas and third-year veteran Mack Brown, who has only 16 career regular-season carries.

While the measurable are off the charts, Boone鈥檚 college performance wasn鈥檛 eye-popping. He had 463 yards rushing (4.2 per attempt) in 2017 and 388 yards (3.7) in 2016. In 2015, he cranked out 717 yards, along with an average of 7.5 yards per rush.

Limited Mens Jonathan Bullard Jersey As a result, Boone was available to be signed by any team. The Vikings pounced, and now Boone will have a chance to translate his strength, speed, and jumping skills into the kind of performance that will make him the ideal complement to Cook and Murray.

Acquired Marcus Morris from the Detroit Pistons in a deal in which the Celtics moved Avery Bradley to clear the necessary cap space to sign Hayward.

Morris overcame early-season knee troubles to be a crucial contributor and scored 21 points in Boston’s Game 1 win Sunday.

Signed Daniel Theis out of Germany to a minimum-salary contract. Theis emerged as a key rotation player before tearing his meniscus in mid-March.

Signed Aron Baynes to a one-year, $4.3 million deal after he turned down a $6.5 million option in Detroit. Baynes has cemented himself as a full-time starter who adds muscle to a back line and eases the defensive load on Horford.

Alex Avila (L), 1 percent, Arizona Diamondbacks at Washington Nationals (RHP Jeremy Hellickson): On Saturday, Avila draws the platoon advantage against Hellickson, one of the lowest-ranked hurlers on the slate — and a pitcher who posted a nearly identical ERA (5.43) and K/9 (5.27) in 30 starts last season. The Arizona backstop is off to a slow start, but he sported a .377 wOBA versus righties in 2017.

Brandon McCarthy (R), 12 percent, Atlanta Braves at Cincinnati Reds: The Athletic’s Eno Sarris notes McCarthy has added a slider to his arsenal, with encouraging results. The pitch is harder, and breaks a little less than his curve, giving hitters something else to think about. The last thing the Reds need is something else to think about as they sit in the bottom five when it comes to wOBA versus righties.

Vince Velasquez (R), 15 percent, Philadelphia Phillies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Speaking of former prospects trying to regain some status, Velasquez is off to a nice start. He was knocked around in his debut (seven runs allowed, four earned), but has reeled off three quality starts since then, totaling a 2.41 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 19 innings. The Diamondbacks are no pushovers, but Velasquez at his best handles anyone. He can miss bats, limit walks and get relatively deep into games.

Jack Flaherty (R), 21 percent, St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates: Flaherty’s rotation spot will be in jeopardy once Adam Wainwright returns from the disabled list, so let’s take advantage of the young righty while we can. canucks_011

Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger Jersey believes he can play 3-5 more years

Hold off on those Mason Rudolph jerseys.

Ben Roethlisberger, who is entering his 15th season as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, believes he can play another three to five seasons.聽

The two-time Super Bowl champion told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Tuesday Authentic Ken Griffey Jersey that, if the circumstances are right, he could be playing into his early 40s. Roethlisberger, who turned 36 in March, committed to the 2018 season immediately after the Steelers were eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

You know he’s able to play. Anytime you get guys to come in, you can try to teach him a little bit, it’s a good thing. I’ll do whatever I can to help.

First-round DB Minkah Fitzpatrick should be a slam dunk, not to mention a potentially effective Gronk antidote. Shame TEs Mike Gesicki (2nd round), who can be a downfield weapon, and Durham Smythe (4th), a blocker, couldn’t be melded into one player, but they do eliminate a need. Third-round LB Jerome Baker and fourth-round RB Kalen Ballage have significant boom-or-bust quotients. The void left by DT Ndamukong Suh’s release remains.聽

Champs often draft for depth, and GM Howie Roseman traded down to get more. Stealing TE Dallas Goedert in Jerry Jones’ backyard was a nice touch. But getting Florida State pass rusher Josh Sweat in Round 4 might wind up being Roseman’s best pick.

The Raiders took Alexander in the seventh round of the 2016 draft with the 234th overall pick. He started five of the nine games he played in as a rookie, and started four of the 15 games he appeared in last season. Often, he was used as the extra man when the Raiders opted for five-linemen sets.

According to Vegas, Bengals 鈥?got worse in draft?

The Cincinnati Bengals are going nowhere, and fast, according to the folks who come up with the odds in Las Vegas. What’s really crazy is that the Bengals’ odds have significantly worsened since Super Bowl LII. And, per Bovada, after the draft no team in the league has longer odds to win Super Bowl LIII.

So, somehow, Cincinnati got worse during the draft? Or at the very least, the people who come up with these odds felt that other teams got better while the Bungles鈥r, Bengals鈥idn’t do anything to improve their situation.

Cincinnati had a ton of draft picks, selecting 11 men during the course of the seven-round draft.

Will Devin Hester Jersey wind up being the last great kick returner in football history?

Devin Hester announced his retirement from the NFL last fall, and on Monday, signed a ceremonial one-day contract to officially retire as a member of the Chicago Bears. This was not an easy decision for the 35-year-old, who had to fight back tears while talking about saying no to football Monday at Halas Hall – Hester said the Philadelphia Eagles reached out to him after Darren Sproles suffered a season-ending injury last September. But Hester firmly remained retired, opting to spend more time with his family in Orlando. And with Hester officially out of the game, it raises this question: Does he retire as the last great return man in NFL history? He changed the game, said former teammate Matt Forte, who also signed a ceremonial one-day contract to retire with the Bears on Monday.

But increasing touchbacks is an imperfect solution, as many around the league have pointed out, as some players may run at Womens Stephen Johns Jersey half-speed thinking there will be a touchback while others are still going full speed in case there isn’t. While the NFL hasn’t considered banning kickoffs yet, it’s entirely fair to wonder if they’ll still be part of the sport’s highest level in the next five years. And that doesn’t sit well with Hester. It’s one of the key aspects to this ballgame, man, Hester said. This is football.

Releasing Dez Bryant to free up $8.5 million in cap space was something the Cowboys needed to do鈥攐ver the past few seasons, Bryant has not shown the explosiveness or consistency he displayed once upon a time. Still, the move leaves a rather large void at the top of Dallas’ receiving corps. Former Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns is a quality addition, but he’s more a second outside receiver who can be great in the slot, especially in the red zone. Terrance Williams struggles with consistency, and Cole Beasley is a slot guy.

If it’s speed and dynamism the Cowboys want with their top receiver, Courtland Sutton could provide that. He brought in 76 receptions for 1,246 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2016, following that with 68 catches for 1,085 yards and 12 scores in 2017. A physical receiver with better-than-average speed in short spaces and the ability to fight back against aggressive cornerbacks, Sutton potentially presents the kind of presence Bryant once did.

When the Lions signed veteran back LeGarrette Blount to a one-year, $2 million contract in March, new head coach Matt Patricia (who watched Blount carve up enemy defenses from 2014 through 2016 while he was on New England’s coaching staff) found it hard to contain his excitement.

Derek Fisher Jersey proposes to Gloria Govan, ex-wife of Matt Barnes

Elite Mens Doug Williams Jersey Five-time NBA champion and former New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher has gotten engaged to Gloria Govan, according to TMZ Sports.

Govan is the former wife of 14-year NBA veteran Matt Barnes. They are the parents of twin sons born in 2008.

One mistake, one bad bounce and they’re back in the game, Ovechkin said. It hit my stick and goes right to Crosby’s stick. Move forward.

That means cleaning up the little plays that can make a big difference this time of year. Trotz acknowledged the Penguins’ comeback happened very quickly, and it was enough to overshadow two competitive periods where his team arguably outplayed its opponent.

Kaepernick, who created controversy and started a movement by kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before NFL games to protest social inequality, was presented the award from former 49ers teammate Eric Reid at a ceremony in Amsterdam.

Kaepernick, a 49er from 2011-2016, joins the likes of South African president Nelson Mandela, who previously won the award.

1. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma, No. 1 overall, Browns: Cleveland has their quarterback of the future in the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner.

Mayfield threw for 14,607 yards and 131 touchdowns in his college football career.

2. Sam Darnold, USC, No. 3 overall, Jets: The Jets look like they’ve really got a good one here. Darnold was a steadying factor for the Trojans in his two years as a starter at USC, and New York has landed Authentic Patrick Eaves Jersey a level-headed signal-caller with a good arm and great intangibles. Darnold threw for 7,229 yards and 57 touchdowns in two years as a starter.
