GREEN BAY Justin McCray Color Rush Jersey , Wis. — Mason Crosby survived one of the worst seasons of his career by putting together five of his best.The veteran Green Bay Packers kicker isn’t looking at what happened in 2012, when he made just 21 of 33 field-goal attempts, as a pathway to bouncing back from a nightmarish performance last week at Detroit.Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point, those 13 lost points looming large in a 31-23 loss Sunday. He had never missed more than two kicks in a game in his 12-year career.More Packers coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistry“I look at what happened on Sunday as I’m lumping it into one kick, one entity,” Crosby said Friday. “That was a game, that was a moment, that I couldn’t have ever imagined happening, but it did happen and I can learn from it. I don’t reset, I don’t go looking for things. It’s more, all right, get back into it. What am I going to do better this week? How am I going to improve?“So far this week, it’s been good getting out at practice, hitting the ball, trusting that I’ve done this for 12 years in the NFL and a long time before that. What went down on Sunday is unacceptable for the career I’ve had, but it did happen and I’m going to be better off because of it.”That’s what the Packers are counting on heading into Monday night’s game against San Francisco.The Packers didn’t bring in any veteran kickers for a workout this week. Just like in 2012, they’re banking on Crosby’s body of work.“You talk about hitting a bump in the hit, I mean, he hit a boulder, for God’s sake,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “He’s the same guy. He’s working at it. Personally https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Marwin-Evans-Jersey , you root for a guy like Mason because he exemplifies what a Green Bay Packer is. He’ll be back to normal.”Change has become the new normal for Crosby.From 2010 through 2015, Crosby had the same snapper (Brett Goode) and holder (Tim Masthay). This marks the third consecutive season with a new operation, with Green Bay drafting JK Scott in the fifth round to handle the punting and holding and Hunter Bradley in the seventh to handle the snapping.Bradley has had a few off-target snaps, but the snapper-holder combination wasn’t to blame on any of Crosby’s five missed kicks.“I just couldn’t find the line,” Crosby said. “The ball wasn’t going through. I’m not going to overreact, overthink on it. The biggest disappointment for me was not doing my job in helping this team win. I need to make those kicks to help this team win. Honestly, whenever that happens, that’s what I feel the most is letting my teammates down.”Special teams coordinator Ron Zook likes what he has seen this week.“I think he’s probably a little bit more zoned-in,” he said. “Mason has always been a pro since I’ve been around him. I’m not one bit worried about him.”NOTESQB Aaron Rodgers was a full participant in practice after aggravating his injured left knee when tackled by Lions LB Christian Jones on the opening possession. “Kind of a step back to last week, the beginning of the week,” Rodgers said. He wore a new, lighter brace in that game and hopes he’ll be able to wear it again against the 49ers. … RT Bryan Bulaga (knee) and backup Jason Spriggs (ankle) were added to the injury report as limited participation. If Bulaga plays against San Francisco, he’ll line up next to RG Byron Bell, who has taken over that position for Justin McCray, who started the first three games. “Been consistent. He has a lot of experience,” coach Mike McCarthy said. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are universally regarded as two of the best quarterbacks of their generation.Brady has spent the better part of his 19 seasons in the NFL eclipsing virtually every milestone set by his predecessors. Along the way, he’s captured every major piece of hardware the league has to offer from multiple MVPs to Super Bowl titles, all while remaining at the top of his game at 41.Rodgers isn’t as decorated as Brady, but has been just as celebrated during his 14-year career for a free-wheeling style and an uncanny ability to pull off plays that have been rarely duplicated by his peers.Between them, they have five regular-season MVP awards, nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl rings.Yet when the Patriots host the Packers on Sunday night , it will mark just the second time that the future Hall of Famers have squared off as starting quarterbacks. Rodgers won the first meeting in 2014 in a game in which they combined for 613 passing yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay’s five-point victory at Lambeau Field.Rodgers capped that season by winning his second regular-season MVP trophy. Brady went on to hoist his fourth Super Bowl title.Watching each other’s success from afar has bred a deep respect between them. Rodgers for Brady’s longevity. Brady for the skillset Rodgers brings to the position.“Tom’s been at the top of his game for over a decade Jermaine Whitehead Jersey ,” Rodgers said. “Obviously, we play a little bit different style of game, but the stuff that he does well is stuff that over my career I’ve tried to incorporate into my own game.“I enjoy competing against great players and obviously Tom is right at the top.”It’s similar to how Brady describes Rodgers.“What he’s done as a quarterback, I think it is inspiring even for me,” Brady said. “I watch his game and it makes me want to get out there and practice and improve because I think he’s so phenomenal with the way he manages himself in the pocket and his ability to throw the football is unlike anyone probably in the history of the league.”Though he wants to play until he’s 45, Brady will presumably retire before Rodgers, leaving the 34-year-old time to narrow the gap between them in career numbers.But neither is interested in playing the hypothetical game about who the better quarterback is.“I don’t really try to get into the ‘what-if’ game,” Rodgers said. “I’m fortunate to have been drafted here and sit behind Brett (Favre) for three years. He was obviously drafted late there … so his chip might have been a little bit bigger than mine starting out his career.“There’s a lot of pride in that legacy part of your career, and I think him and I both feel the same way about our organizations.”Brady also called any similar debate about the greatest quarterback of all-time a fruitless endeavor. Though he knows one name that belongs on his list.“It’s hard to compare positions and eras. It’s impossible to answer,” Brady said. “I think Aaron is one of the best ever to play the game. He’s got every skill you need to be a great quarterback.”Here are some things to watch for in Sunday’s game:MILESTONE WATCHBrady enters Sunday’s game second in NFL history for the most combination passing, rushing and receiving yards in the regular-season and playoffs. Peyton Manning tops the list with 79,978 yards. Brady is next with 79,781.SAFETY DANCEThe trade of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix means that the Green Bay Packers are without a five-year starter at safety .Clinton-Dix, who led the team with three interceptions, was the most experienced player at a position that was still mired by inconsistency. Possible replacements include Jermain Whitehead, who missed practice at midweek with a back injury; or Josh Jones, a second-year player who missed time earlier this year with an ankle injury. Veteran cornerback Tramon Williams also has a couple games of experience playing safety while with the Browns a couple years ago. Cornerback Bashaud Breeland appears to be getting healthier from a hamstring injury and might be ready to play. The Packers didn’t acquire players at the trade deadline, a sign that general manager Brian Gutekunst might like the depth in the secondary even without Clinton-Dix.COMING A LONG WAYDavante Adams was a rookie the last time these teams played in 2014 at Lambeau Field. That 26-21 win by the Packers was a milestone game for Adams, now Green Bay’s No. 1 receiver.Adams had six catches for 121 yards in the game, taking advantage of more targets after the Patriots elected to blanket then-top wideout Jordy Nelson. Now the roles might be reversed, and Adams could be the player who gets extra attention. If that’s the case, it won’t be much different from what Adams has faced all year. Adams has had at least 132 yards receiving in each of the last three games.

Joe Douglas for their general manager job.Douglas Patrick Kerney Color Rush Jersey , the Eagles' vice president of player personnel, is the third candidate to meet with New York about the opening. He met with team officials Saturday and Sunday.The Jets have also interviewed New Orleans Saints director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot and Seattle Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer. New York also is expected to meet with Champ Kelly, the Chicago Bears' assistant director of player personnel.Douglas is widely considered the favorite to land the job because he has previous work experience with Jets coach Adam Gase, who is the team's acting GM and is heavily involved in the search process. Douglas was Chicago's director of college scouting in 2015, when Gase was the Bears' offensive coordinator.Douglas has been with the Eagles for three years since leaving Chicago. He worked in Baltimore's personnel department from 2000-15 in various roles. Bobby Wagner leaped over the line of scrimmage, swatted Dan Bailey‘s field goal attempt and sparked the Seattle Seahawks to two late touchdowns.Whether or not what Wagner did was entirely legal, he frankly didn’t care.“I’m not stressing about that. I made the play. They called what they called,” Wagner said. “There’s times in games where things happen all the time. I’m not stressing on it. It was a big block and we’ll definitely take it. It was amazing.”Wagner’s block midway through the fourth quarter was the catalyst in a 21-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night that pushed Seattle to the brink of a playoff berth.Chris Carson followed the blocked kick with a 2-yard TD run with 2:53 left, and Justin Coleman capped off the Seahawks’ fourth straight victory with a 29-yard fumble return for a touchdown 18 seconds later.What was an ugly and mostly forgettable first three quarters turned into a Seattle party in the fourth as the Seahawks (8-5) moved to the brink of wrapping up a wild-card spot in the NFC. One win in Seattle’s final three games — including matchups with lowly San Francisco and Arizona — should be enough to put the Seahawks into the postseason.“It’s really about the defense. I loved the way they played, they played so hard and so spirited,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “It was almost poetic after last week’s game that Bobby would get to block the field goal and he pulled it off and did it. That was an incredible play.”Minnesota (6-6-1) twice had scoring chances in the fourth quarter when it was still a one-score game but was turned away each time. Minnesota’s chances of winning the NFC North took a major hit with its second straight loss, but the Vikings still hold the No. 6 spot in the NFC.“Part of it is being better on third downs. We haven’t really done a good job there. Part of it is being better in the red zone Germain Ifedi Color Rush Jersey ,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “We had the ball on the 2-yard line and didn’t score.”But much of the conversation centered on Wagner’s block of Bailey’s 47-yard attempt with 5:38 left and whether it was entirely legal. Wagner’s jump through a gap in Minnesota’s offensive line was fine, but it appeared he used his teammates to gain leverage, which allowed him to come through and block the kick. A flag was initially thrown but was picked up by the officials.Wagner said he attempted it four times in practice without a problem but acknowledged it could be tough to pull off the play during the fourth quarter of a tight game.“When I did it in practice I was pretty fresh,” Wagner said.Zimmer said he asked for an explanation of what happened but wasn’t given one. He was told he couldn’t challenge.“Quite honestly, I didn’t see what happened. I was told what happened,” Zimmer said.Seattle took possession and Russell Wilson immediately scrambled 40 yards deep into Minnesota territory. Five plays later, Carson scored and Seattle finally had a cushion. Two plays after that, Jacob Martin sacked Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins and the ball popped to Coleman, who weaved his way for the clinching touchdown.Cousins threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Dalvin Cook with 1:10 remaining, but Seattle recovered the onside kick.“I feel like all of our losses we, as an offense, we are so slow Marshawn Lynch Color Rush Jersey ,” Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen said. “Our defense is keeping us in games. And we’re not pulling our side of the bargain.”Wilson had one of the worst passing games of his career, completing 10 of 20 attempts for career-low 72 yards and a baffling interception late in the first half, one of the many mistakes by Seattle that allowed Minnesota to hang around. But Seattle’s ground game was outstanding against one of the better run defenses in the NFL. The Seahawks finished with 214 yards rushing, led by 90 yards from Carson.Sebastian Janikowski hit field goals of 37 and 35 yards to account for all of Seattle’s scoring until the closing minutes.“If you run it 40-something times, you ought to win. That was pretty good,” Carroll said.FOURTH QUARTER WOESMinnesota hung around despite failing to run a play in Seattle territory until there was 4:16 left in the third quarter. Cousins was 20 of 33 for 208 yards, most of that coming late. But he failed to get the Vikings into the end zone from inside the Seattle 5 while trailing 6-0 early in the fourth quarter.The Vikings had first-and-goal at the Seattle 4 but turned the ball over on downs with 9:06 remaining. Two short runs and an incompletion brought up fourth-and-goal at the 1, and Cousins’ pass for Kyle Rudolph was knocked away by Bradley McDougald. Bailey’s field goal was blocked on Minnesota’s next drive.REACHING 100Minnesota fell to 0-6 when allowing its opponents to run for at least 100 yards. The Vikings came in to the week giving up 99 yards per game on the ground, good for seventh-best in the NFL. Seattle had 136 yards rushing in the first half.OTHER CENTURY MARKThielen tied Cris Carter as the fastest Minnesota player to reach 100 receptions in a season, both accomplishing the feat in 13 games. Carter did it in 1994 when he finished the year with 122 catches. Thielen is the first Minnesota receiver to get to 100 catches since Randy Moss in 2003. But Thielen didn’t get his first catch until midway through the third quarter. He finished with five catches for 70 yards.UP NEXTMinnesota: The Vikings return home to host Miami on Sunday.Seattle: The Seahawks play their final road game Sunday at San Francisco.

on Sunday but couldn’t finish the deal White Patrick Omameh Jerseys , falling to the Indianapolis Colts 28-27.A 1-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Luck to Chester Rogers gave the Colts their only lead of the day with 55 seconds left. That capped an eight-play, 53-yard scoring drive aided by Giants’ penalties on Tae Davis and B.W. Webb.An Eli Manning pass down the middle for Bennie Fowler was intercepted by Malik Hooker with 23 seconds left to end the Giants’ upset hopes.“We were just taking a shot down the field. We had three receivers up the field and they split the safeties on us and he tried to take a shot on them,” coach Pat Shurmur said of the interception. “I don’t fault that. We had to get the ball down the field anyways.”Manning finished 25-of-33 for 309 yards with a touchdown and an interception. “Those situations, you’re in a bit of – you’ve got to take a shot. You’ve got to take a chance and get a chunk play,” Manning said of the final throw. “I thought I threw a pretty good ball, but obviously not.”The Giants are 5-10. The Colts are 9-6.“It’s a tough game. You know they’re a good team and they have a good quarterback who can kind of score late on teams,” Manning said. “So I knew we were going to need to score more points. To not get a touchdown when we were down there that last time and had to settle for a field goal, it was tough. We got second-and-two from the five or six-yard line and then can’t get a first down. Then go backwards on second down. So we’ve got to do a better job there. Did a lot of good things throughout the course but obviously not just quite good enough.”The Giants played hard, which Shurmur had emphasized all week, but didn’t get the end result.“Right is right. You win or you lose and we didn’t win,” Shurmur said. “We will go back and we will clean up the film like we do every week and make corrections and move forward to Dallas. That’s what we’ll do. That’s the reality, that’s the big boy part of this – just keep working and you keep trying to get better and you keep trying to find ways to make plays at the end and both sides really all three sides.”“We were able to execute in the first half and we didn’t do that in the second half,” said Saquon Barkley, who had just 43 yards rushing on 21 carries.“Team fought hard and I take my hat off to the guys for that Patrick Omameh Jerseys 2019 ,” Sterling Shepard said. “We fought hard to the very end. Just came up a little short.”Moments that matteredFinal drive penalties: On the Colts’ game-winning drive, linebacker Tae Davis committed a pass interference penalty on an incomplete third-and-3 pass that gave Indianapolis a first down at the Giants’ 46-yard line. Later, B.W. Webb committed a holding penalty in the end zone to set Indianapolis up at the 1-yard line.Stopped in the red zone: The Giants drove the ball to the Indianapolis 7-yard line, but it remained a one-score game as the Giants settled for a 27-yard Aldrick Rosas field goal to make it 27-21 with 9:24 to playHolding on Jackrabbit: A correctly called holding penalty on Janoris Jenkins negated a B.J. Hill fumble recovery after a sack/fumble caused by Olivier Vernon at the Giants’ 15-yard line. Two plays later, the Colts scored a touchdown to close within 24-21 with :32 seconds left in the third quarter.Third-quarter answer: After Indianapolis had closed within 17-14 in the third quarter, the Giants drove 85 yards in eight plays to extend the lead to 24-14 with 3:46 left in the third quarter. The drive featured a third-and-five 8-yard pass to Evan Engram followed by a 32-yard completion to Engram that set up first-and-goal at the 1-yard line. Manning took it in from there on a quarterback sneak.Curtis Riley with a pick: With Indianapolis trying to respond to the Giants’ fast start, Riley picked off an Andrew Luck pass in the end zone after the Colts had driven to the Giants’ 26-yard line. The interception, with 12:27 left in the half, kept the Giants’ 14-0 lead intact.Two possessions, two touchdowns: The Giants scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, taking a 14-0 lead with 1:41 left in the first quarter. Saquon Barkley finished an 11-play, 75-yard drive with a 1-yard scoring run and an Eli Manning to Scott Simonson 3-yard pass finished off a 9-play, 87-yard drive to make the score 14-0 with 1:49 to play in the first quarter.Injury updatesGiants’ defensive end Mario Edwards suffered a calf injury in the first quarter and did not return. That left the Giants short-handed as Kerry Wynn (thumb) was inactive.The Giants lose tight end Rhett Ellison with a concussion in the third quarter.What’s next?The Giants will finish their season by hosting the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in a 1 p.m. ET game.Giants practice report, 8/14: A Detroit writer’s takeaways from today’s workouts Hey White Mario Edwards Jerseys , Giants fans! My name is Jeremy Reisman and I’m the managing editor over at Pride of Detroit, the SB Nation blog for the Detroit Lions. I’m here at the request of your glorious leader Ed Valentine to bring you personal observations from Tuesday’s joint practices between the Lions and Giants. While I’m sure many of you know the Giants a little better than I do, I think I’ll be able to put the Giants’ performance into context in a unique way, considering I know a lot about the players they’re going against. With that in mind, and a little guidance as to what may interest you, here are some observations from Tuesday’s practice about the Giants, but from a Lions point of view.Slay vs. BeckhamLet’s be honest, you were going to skip to this section first, so I may as well lead with it. We’ve seen Odell Beckham Jr. and Darius Slay face off twice before, but both matchups underwhelmed. In the first, Slay left the game in the first half with an injury. In the second, Beckham was coming off an injury of his own and didn’t quite look like himself.Tuesday, both looked full speed, and I must admit Mario Edwards Jerseys 2019 , Beckham got the better of Slay. The 2017 Pro Bowl cornerback has looked unbeatable in all of training camp, but it’s clear he hasn’t been lined up against anyone the likes of Beckham. Odell wasn’t completely dominant, but he consistently had a step on Slay and Eli Manning was able to find him more often than not.Also, during individual drills Beckham roasted rookie undrafted free agent Chris Jones for a bomb, which isn’t a nice thing to do to a guy with no chance of making the team.Kyle Lauletta getting the rookie treatmentI heard y’all have a backup quarterback battle brewing, and nothing grabs more headlines than a backup QB battle.Well, on Tuesday, it didn’t look like much of a battle. It’s not that Kyle Lauletta looked bad—he didn’t. It’s that the Giants barely gave him a shot. During one-one-one drills, Lauletta was busy checking down to running backs against linebackers, while Eli and Davis Webb were throwing bombs to the wide receivers vs. corners.And when it came to full 11-on-11 drills, I could count the amount of reps for Lauletta on two hands. Toward the end of practice, each team (first, second, and third) got a single drive against the opposing defense. Lauletta didn’t even get a full drive. He split it with Alex Tanney.As for Webb White Kerry Wynn Jerseys , he had a very inconsistent day. He threw a couple deep dimes during the one-on-ones, but when it came to the full 11-on-11s, he looked much more uncomfortable. He sailed a handful of passes Tuesday, and when the Lions came with an A-gap blitz, you could see the panic in Webb, as he sailed a pass well over the receiver’s head and was nearly intercepted.It’s hard for me to give an honest review of Lauletta at this point in considering the very limited sample size, but it’s clear to me the Giants coaching staff isn’t ready to hand the fourth-round rookie too many responsibilities at this point.Saquon looks fineI’m no doctor, but I wouldn’t expect Saquon Barkley to miss any time once the regular season rolls around. Though he obviously didn’t practice on Tuesday, he did just about everything else the coaches would let him. He was even sporting pants and a helmet—missing only the shoulder pads.You can see above, he went through the motions of position drills early in the day before taking the rest of practice off.Overall thoughtsWhile I’m not going to sit here and tell you Team A was better than Team B, I will say that the Giants were able to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball when the first teams were facing off. Jonathan Stewart seemed to slip through considerably-sized holes on a fairly regular basis. While that isn’t all that surprising from Detroit’s point of view—the Lions’ front seven is the team’s biggest weakness—it’s definitely good news for the Giants.When the Lions had the ball, the trenches were a little more evenly matched. Though the Lions running game continued to struggle, Matthew Stafford sat pretty comfortably in the pocket for much of the day. However, when it the second and third teams took the field Kerry Wynn Jerseys 2019 , it was clear the Lions’ offensive line depth was no match for the Giants’ defensive line depth.However, the Lions’ skill position evened out the day. Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay made some impressive catches over Eli Apple and Curtis Riley. Additionally, the Lions running backs—specifically Theo Riddick and rookie Kerryon Johnson—were giving Giants linebackers fits in the passing game. To be fair, those guys have been embarrassing Lions linebackers all camp, too.As for Eli Manning, I came away more impressed than not. He has a pretty clear command of the offense and looked decisive and comfortable the entire day. Perhaps it was just the juxtaposition next to Webb, but there was a certain command to the offense when Manning was in that made the Giants look efficient. The same can’t be said when Webb was i.However, Manning’s day ended with a poor read on a two-minute drill, leading to an interception by Lions safety Glover Quin. That’s the Eli Manning I know.If you want my Lions observations from Tuesday’s practice, head over to Pride of Detroit.Our thanks to Jeremy for the extra work he has done for us here. Hope you all appreciate it.

new center against the Jets and they also may be making a change at right tackle.Coach Pat Shurmur said Thursday it's likely Spencer Pulley is going to replace Jon Halapio at center for the braggin' rights game Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The status of right tackle Mike Remmers also is in question after his missed his second straight workout with a back problem.This would mark the first time this season the Giants (2-7) have had a different starting lineup on the line.Nick Gates would have to make his first career start if Remmers can't play.Pulley started nine games at center last year after Halapio sustained a major leg injury early in the 2018 season.Shurmur said Halapio is a ways away with a hamstring injury sustained Monday night in a 37-18 loss to Dallas."But the good news for us is http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-jamal-adams-jersey , in my mind, I feel like we have two starting centers on our team," Shurmur said.Shurmur said Remmers can't shake soreness from the Monday night game.Wide receiver Sterling Shepard remained in the concussion protocol and will likely miss his fifth straight game, and sixth overall. Tight end Evan Engram (foot) also did not practice and his status is certainly in doubt..One interesting tidbit for the game is Saquon Barkley's father, Alibay, is a long-time fan of the Jets (1-7) and has a team tattoo.Saquon Barkley is sure his father will root for the Giants, but he thinks his parent will wear green."That's going to be an interesting one, but I gave it to him because it's a Joe Namath jersey," Saquon Barkley said. "I think I got him that jersey actually, the Joe Namath one. But at the end of the day, I knew this situation was going to come up one day Brian Winters Jersey , but I'm happy for him. I was a Jets fan growing up, too, so it's fun. It's going to be a little fun competition in the Barkley house." Our man Joe Douglas has been fairly quiet the past few months, making minor moves while mainly letting the team show its strengths and weaknesses. To be brutally honest the strengths are few and the weaknesses abound, but Joe vowed to bring bring greatness to Jets NationRemember his welcoming press conference? He said: We haven’t been too proud as of late.So if you take Joe at his word, he has been a veritable clandestine whirling dervish of conclave activity in sub rosa. The only thing we know for sure right now is that Allen Iverson will not be joining the Jets anytime soon. Joe should have a good idea how he wants to proceed with the roster.He has made some minor moves recently in re-signing Steve McLendon to a one year extension and long snapper Thomas Hennessy to a new four year contract. Both could be seen as quality moves. Hennessy gives stability to the special teams, and McLendon is a low cost solid performer who is a positive voice in the locker room. But resigning a aging vet or a guy who snap a ball a long way accurately between his legs alone will not bring this team championships any time soon. No, Joe was brought here to make the tough decisions and the appropriate determinations of talent as they pertain to the Jets roster. He can accelerate the process if he wisely deals with teams searching for pieces to their Playoff rosters while he is getting surplus value for those players.Time is running out for that process as the NFL trade deadline is fast approaching on October 29th at 4pm EST. How Joe does in the next few days will go a long way in determining the future of this dormant franchise. A wise trade or non-trade might be a difference between a swift return to Playoff contention or a long wait to be competitive. If the Jets should happen to make a coaching change in the near future, they will need as many picks as possible to transform the team into a viable likeness of the new coach’s vision of a team.Numerous trades have already taken place with Mohamed Sanu going to the Patriots for a 2nd round pick, Gareon Conley to Houston for a 3rd round pick, and Emmanuel Sanders and a 7th round pick to the San Francisco for a 3rd and 4th round picks.Quandre Diggs and a 7th went to Seattle for a 5th round pick. Marcus Peters went to Baltimore for LB Kenny Young and a 5th round pick. Austin Corbett went to the Rams for a 5th round pick.The big trade was Jalen Ramsey to the Rams for a 2020 1st round Womens Wayne Chrebet Jersey , 2021 1st and 4th round picks. Additionally Minkah Fitzpatrick, a 2020 4th + 2021 7th round picks went to Pittsburgh for a 2020 1st and a 2021 5th + 6th round picks. Let’s look at the Jets players who are worthy of trade proposals and the free agents who could bring the most bang for the buck.Almost half the roster (23 players) will be unrestricted free agents so there is work to be done.Players the Jets should re-sign nowAlex Lewis GuardA cheap pickup who has played surprisingly well on an offensive line with few bright spots. Lewis has had injury problems in the past but seems healthy now and he is still only 26 years old. He brings size and some versatility to the line, and would at worse be a quality backup on a future Jets top 5 offensive line.Lac Edwards PunterEdwards was one of the best selections the Jets made in the 2016 Draft after they whiffed with their top two picks. Edwards should be easy to sign, and the Jets would know what they have in their punter since he has been here for his entire career.Sam Ficken KickerWe can wait to see how Ficken does the rest of the year, but assuming he does well it would be nice to go into 2020 camp with a kicker the Jets had some confidence in. They would avoid the fiasco that was the kicking position earlier in the year. Again the contract would be cheap with little guaranteed money. Matthias Farley Strong SafetyWe have seen little of Farley other than as a special teamer. He was a starter in Indianapolis earlier in his career and is a quality backup for Jamal Adams. The strong safety position is a important position in a Gregg Williams’ defense, and it would be nice to have someone familiar with the scheme. Again, he should be relatively inexpensive. Ty Montgomery Running BackIn a future offense where Le’veon Bell is the centerpiece it would be nice to have a player with Montgomery’s skill set as a backup in case of injury. Montgomery is still only 27 years old and is great out of the backfield. He also plays special teams. He may be a little expensive as compared to other backups but he will not break the bank. Plus his position is unique to the Jets, Bell is not an easy back to replace even for a short period of time. Brian Poole CornerbackPoole plays a premium position. Even though the Jets secondary is a weak spot on the team Poole has shown well most of the time. He is only 27 years old, and finding solid slot corners is difficult to do. When you have one who is viable, you should keep him. Poole has one of the highest PFF grades of any cornerback in the NFL so bringing him back, especially at a team friendly deal is a no-brainer. Player who the Jets may bring backDemaryius Thomas WRThomas would be a veteran presence in the WR room. He has played with and was highly respected by Peyton Manning.He is on the downside of his career http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-quincy-enunwa-jersey , but he would be a coach on the field for a young group of receivers the Jets may have in the future. Plus he can still play better than any JAG receiver you may bring in. Rontez MilesFree SafetyAnother veteran presence who plays well on special teams, Miles is 31 and is coming off a big payday from Mike Maccagnan ($1,907,000) so he would need to take a pay cut.Brandon Copeland EdgeCopland just came off suspension so we will need to see how he plays the rest of the year.He is another Maccagnan bonus baby ($1,750,000) with mild production. His play the rest of the year and his salary demands will make the determining factor for a guy who has played a grand total of 39 snaps so far this year. Neville Hewitt Inside LinebackerHewitt had a good first game of the year and played nearly every snap the first four games but has been nicked up with neck and knee injuries.His play has tailed off some as the year has progressed but he is still only 27 and could be a valuable asset for the right price.Jordan Jenkins EdgeJenkins is not an every down player for the defense but still gets about 60-75% of the snaps.It would be interesting to see how he is valued by Gregg Williams. Jenkins is just 26 years old and should have his best years ahead of him. He is a type of player who could be valued by the Jets or traded to another team for Draft capital. We will have to see how this plays out. Players who have true trade valueLeonard Williams Interior LinemanLike it or not, Leonard Williams has been a solid if unspectacular player for the Jets. At 26 years old he is still an ascending player, but his ceiling will likely never reach his Draft position. That is where the animosity of Jets fans emanates from. He is still a solid citizen and a quiet but positive locker room voice. Salary will be a key, and the Jets really don’t need to spend more money on the defensive line. I have not heard anything about contract talks. If that is so, the Jets should trade Williams soon. If Mohamed Sanu was worth a 2nd round pick Leonard Williams is worth more, especially to a Playoff needy team. Robby Anderson Wide ReceiverI actually highlighted Robby as a possible UDFA pickup before the 2016 Draft and have written other pieces on him over the years. I like Robby as a player Trenton Cannon Jersey , but I feel that if the Jets could get a quality package of picks, they should trade him.I realize that Robby has led the Jets in receiving the past two years and his leaving would leave the cupboard fairly bare for the offense. Still, the Jets are going nowhere this year, and Robby will probably be lost in free agency. Why not get something for him? The Jets will probably sign a few free agents next year so a compensatory pick would probably not be available to them for losing RobbyRobby is a great #2 WR in the mold of a Will Fuller but he will never be a #1 WR,. He is just not physically strong enough to play through quality press coverage and/or be a high volume receiver. The Jets don’t have a true #1 WR to aument Robby’s skills so he is a hit or miss player with the team. Vyncint Smith could fill his role in the future while the Jets use the picks they get from the trade to fortify their team.Other Free AgentsRyan Kalil CenterKalil was a nice try but at 35 years old he is not near the player he once was.Kelvin Beachum TackleBeachum is probably not in the future plans for the Jets, and considering he is now injured the chance they could have traded him has disappeared. Trevor Siemian QuarterbackA player who was grossly overpaid to be a backup and failed miserably when called upon, I hope Joe D sees the error of Adam Gase’s ways and says bye-bye.Tom Compton GuardWith the offensive line being a complete disaster this year, the fact that Compton has played a grand total of 4 snaps is all you need to know how the Jets feel about him.Brent Qvale TackleHow Qvale is still even on this team or any team is a mvstery.Ryan Griffin Tight EndGriffin is 30 which means he makes above $1 million in salary which is too much for his production. The offseason should see some new blood at TE for the Jets.Daniel Brown Tight EndAnother low ceiling player who the Jets could replace. Tight end is a tough place to find quality so he conceivablycould be back in 2020.Bilal Powell Running BackI always liked Powell as a player and still don’t know why he wasn’t given more opportunities in the past. He always produced. Sadly those days are gone and his years of service make him too expensive to be a #3 RB on this team. It was nice to see him come back to full health from his neck injury. A quality back and a quality Jet, I wish him well.Albert McClellan ILBA special teamer pressed into duty because of injuries, McClellan is 34, and his best playing days are behind him. The Jets need to find another Cashman in this upcoming draft to backup this year’s Cashman and Mosley.Brandon Shell TackleA player who was a starter on the Jets as a 5th round selection but has a skill set as a career backup Womens Jordan Jenkins Jersey , Shell is the guy you always want to replace and upgrade. It is too bad Maccagnan never drafted anyone to replace him. He could come back as a backup, but I see the Jets moving on. I would trade him for a bag of chips now if I could get it.Most of the other players on the team would have little trade value comparable to the value they have to the team right now. A Brian Winters could be moved. He would also bring little in Draft capital in return and leave a gaping hole on the offensive line, putting Sam Darnold in greater danger.Joe, the ball is in your court, and Jets Nation is awaiting your next move. We are expecting great things. Show us a little something. We have only 6 picks in the 2020 Draft. We want to see you shine so if you could add two or three to that total it could be glorious. What do you think the Jets should do?

This week sees the official start of the 2019 season, as players report and practice begins on Thursday. When they do so, they will have one new starter on the offensive line, but that single swap should make a significant difference.Billy Turner’s arrival from Denver comes with less fanfare than the Packers’ three defensive free agent signings. However, he could have just as big an impact, if not more Justin McCray Jersey , compared to any of those three individuals given the quality (or lack thereof) of play by the Packers’ right guards in 2018.In particular, Turner had an impressive streak in the second half of last season as a pass-protector, keeping Broncos quarterbacks clean while largely suiting up at left guard. As long as he can maintain that level of play on the right side — which he has played plenty in the past — Green Bay should again have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.And his new quarterback knows it.Packers OL Billy Turner didn’t allow a sack over final 7 games of 2018 | Packers WireTurner had a remarkable run in pass-protection down the stretch last season, which undoubtedly played into the Packers giving him a big contract.

This makes me think of this classic Principal Skinner moment: It was a relatively quiet NFL debut for Rashan Gary. Expectations have been all over the place for the Green Bay Packers’ first draft pick in 2019, but a quiet preseason certainly had his doubters feeling justified. Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine’s comments about finding a role for Gary in the regular season probably did not help matters either.Then when he finally took the field, Gary played just six snaps against the Chicago Bears as the clear fourth player in the outside linebacker rotation. When Za’Darius Smith shifted inside to rush the passer, it was usually Kyler Fackrell coming on to play on the edge rather than Gary.However Josh Jackson Jersey White , in those six snaps, Gary did some very good things, which should lead to some additional reps moving forward. Furthermore, the next opponent runs an offense that should lead to more opportunities for Gary, whose strength in college was setting the edge against the run and eating up blockers. Facing a Minnesota Vikings team that wants to focus on the run game, Pettine could well utilize Gary on base downs to keep Dalvin Cook and Minnesota’s ground attack at bay.Here are some of the newsworthy items from around Packers-related media and the NFL.Packers rookie Rashan Gary needs more snaps after encouraging debut | Packers WireGary played just six snaps last Thursday, but he recorded two pressures on Mitchell Trubisky.

White Dalvin Tomlinson Jerseys , including two in the first round and six of the first 132 selections.There’s been a lot of talk about whether they’ll use some of that capital to get a young quarterback and Eli Manning said on Monday that he expects the team to go that route. Head coach Pat Shurmur wouldn’t reveal that information during his own press conference, but he did say that the team is heading into next week with an eye on restocking the front line of their defense.Shurmur was asked if the team hopes to land two or three defensive starters.“That is the idea,” Shurmur said. “We have some high picks Dalvin Tomlinson Jerseys 2019 , so you look to get some guys that can help. A lot of times, guys that are significant role players function in roles as starters. We are looking at everyone we pick to be able to contribute. That is the exciting thing about the draft. There are plenty of really good players at all positions. We are going to pick guys that we feel can contribute.”In addition to their work researching quarterbacks, the Giants have spent time with several of the top defensive prospects in this year’s class and Shurmur’s answer suggests a fair number of those early picks may be ticketed for coordinator James Bettcher’s unit. The Giants have re-signed Eli Manning’s primary backup"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015 White Wayne Gallman Jerseys , Week 17New York Giants NewsGiants Free Agency 2019New York Giants re-sign QB Alex TanneyNew,36commentsThe Giants have re-signed Eli Manning’s primary backupESTShareTweetShareShareNew York Giants re-sign QB Alex TanneyVincent Carchietta-USA TODAY SportsThe New York Giants have announced that they have re-signed veteran quarterback Alex Tanney. The Giants signed Tanney as a part of their 2018 free agency period to be a veteran presence and another arm to keep Eli Manning from being over-worked in the run-up to the 2018 season. Ultimately, the Giants opted to release second-year quarterback Davis Webb and Tanney spent most of 2019 as Eli Manning’s primary back-up. Tanney took a step down the depth chart as the Giants sought to get a look at rookie QB Kyle Lauletta Wayne Gallman Jerseys 2019 , but retook his job by the end of the season. Tanney is a good player to have in the quarterback room and head coach Pat Shurmur has stated that he prefers to carry four quarterbacks on the roster through training camp. The Giants are thought to be looking for an heir to Eli Manning, but the decision to re-sign Tanney shouldn’t figure in their plans to draft (or not draft) a quarterback in the 2019 NFL Draft. NJ.com is also reporting that Kyle Lauletta had “minor” knee surgery this offseason, which could have factored into the decision. With OTAs coming up in the spring White Sterling Shepard Jerseys , the Giants likely want to be sure they have enough quarterbacks to properly run their workouts.

Darnold said that he’ll chat with Brady after games between the two teams, but felt that taking part in a birthday celebration would be giving something he’s unwilling to give to a player who has reached heights that Darnold hopes to reach during his own career.“That’s just it, man — knowing what I’ve got to do,” Darnold said, via Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. “I’m going to get every competitive edge I can, because he’s going to do the same thing. He’s the ultimate competitor. He’s exactly where I want to be when I’m his age. To chase that, I can’t be giving him anything.”Whether this qualifies as a competitive edge or not is certainly subject to debate. As with players using musty criticisms from early in their careers as motivational chips, however, Darnold’s belief that it gives him one may be more significant than any conclusion drawn from that debate.

The idea here is to build a generic Big Board reflecting the community’s view of this year’s draft class regardless of the Jets’ (or any other team’s) particular needs. So for instance, the Jets do not need a QB this year, but that should not prevent you from placing a QB high on the Big Board. Each day we will close the previous day’s poll and the candidate with the most votes will be added to the GGN Big Board. In the event of a tie vote the tie will be broken by surname in alphabetical order. By the time the draft rolls around we should have enough players on our Big Board to cover two rounds of the draft.In the event I have made an egregious omission and a name you think should be on the poll is not there you can write in candidates in the comments section. If a player gets support in the comments section I’ll add him to the next day’s poll.Try not to get overly frustrated if your guy isn’t being voted to the top of the board. We all have different views and what we’re looking for here is a composite of the best players in the community’s collective mind. Your views may or may not coincide with the community’s, and either way that’s OK.So let’s get to it. Today we vote for the #51 prospect on the 2019 crowd sourced GGN Big Board. Who will it be? Vote early, vote often, and let’s hear who you think are the best players in this draft.

He continues to be a free agent.His ceremonial retirement with the Packers did not include signing a meaningless one-day contract because Kentrell Brice Jersey White , frankly, signing a one-day contract does have some meaning — more meaning actually than one share of Packers stock. (Cue the Packers shareholders who resent having the meaninglessness of their framed piece of memorabilia pointed out.)By signing an actual one-day contract and retiring, a player lands on the reserve/retired list. The team holds his rights, and can control his rights. So if a team — like, say, the Bears, Lions, or Vikings — would need his services at some point this year, the Packers would have to release Nelson’s rights in order to allow the move to happen.Even if Nelson currently has no interest in playing, there’s no reason to tie himself to the Packers because circumstances could change at some point between now and January. A truly retired player (like Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski) has a Week 13 deadline for emerging from the reserve/retired list. Nelson Womens Josh Jackson Jersey , like any free agent, can sign with any team at any time, up to and including the week of the Super Bowl.And even if the Packers would gladly release Nelson’s rights if/when he wants to play, he’d be required to pass through waivers if he’s released after the trade deadline. In 2002, the Chargers prevented Deion Sanders from climbing aboard the Raiders’ Super Bowl bandwagon by making a waivers claim when Washington released Deion from the reserve/retired list after the trade deadline.So Nelson can ceremonially retire with the Packers and easily unretire whenever he wants, if ever he wants. For anyone who has yet to completely and totally slam the door on playing, that’s the way to do it. GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Having signed four potential starters in free agency, the Green Bay Packers enter this week’s draft looking to add the missing ingredients to a team that has missed the playoffs the last two seasons.“With some of the things that we’ve done, I think where our team sits today Womens Clay Matthews Jersey , I’m not super concerned about, ‘Hey, we absolutely have to do this or absolutely have to do that,'” general manager Brian Gutekunst said at a news conference Monday.“We can sit back, see where the draft board is strong, try to get there and then take the best players available. … I think it’s a really good draft overall and I think we have a chance to help our team.”The Packers hold the 12th selection in Thursday’s first round. They haven’t had such an early pick since drafting defensive tackle B.J. Raji at No. 9 in 2009. Gutekunst’s maneuvering in the first round of last year’s draft bagged the 30th selection of the first round for this year. Including those picks, Green Bay has six selections in the first four rounds.Leading to the draft, Gutekunst added outside linebackers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith, safety Adrian Amos and offensive lineman Billy Turner. Those signings bolstered three of the Packers’ biggest areas of need. In turn, that eases the pressure on Gutekunst.“I do like our flexibility to be able to move around and not feel like we’re pigeon-holed to have to take a certain position or a certain player Marcedes Lewis Jersey White ,” he said.One position where there is not an immediate need is quarterback, with 35-year-old Aaron Rodgers returning for his 15th season. Still, Gutekunst used one of his predraft visits on Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, who is considered a likely first-round pick. Gutekunst said there’s a measure of “subterfuge” in his use of the 30 predraft invitations. Then again, Brett Favre was 35 when then-general manager Ted Thompson drafted Rodgers in the first round in 2005.“Every year, we spend a lot of time on the quarterbacks and trying to figure out what kinds of players those guys are going to be in the NFL,” Gutekunst said. “And it’s really, really important to us because, if you don’t have one, it’s really tough to win in this league. For us Mike Daniels Jersey , it’s about trying to decide which are the guys that could potentially be starters in this league.”This will be Gutekunst’s second year running the draft but his first with new coach Matt LaFleur. While LaFleur is installing a new offense — that process will continue at the three-day minicamp that starts Tuesday — Gutekunst said has had “minimal” impact on the kind of players he’s been scouting.“You do this for as long as a lot of us have in that room, this is what you work all year for. It’s really exciting to have the ability to try to help your football team and add to that mix”In addition to the first round, the Packers have the 12th selection in each round. Plus, they have an additional picks in the fourth round (last year’s trade of safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to Washington) and the sixth round (last year’s trade of quarterback Brett Hundley to Seattle).For Gutekunst and his staff, it’s almost show time. In the draft room, the board is locked behind curtains to prevent overanalysis. He allowed his scouts to spend Easter weekend with family.“You do get to this point where it’s a little dangerous to react too much,” he said. “And I wouldn’t imagine there would be a whole lot of tweaks between now and Thursday.”

After picking up a versatile defensive lineman in round five Lance Kendricks Color Rush Jersey , the Packers went with XX with pick 185 in round six.With that pick, they have made cornerback Ka’Dar Hollman from Toledo the newest member of the Packers. Hollman had a pre-draft visit with the Packers, making him the second such player in this year’s draft class along with third-round pick Jace Sternberger.Hollman brings exceptional speed to the Packers’ cornerback group https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Davon-House-Jersey , running an estimated 4.36-second 40 at Toledo’s Pro Day. At 6 feet and 196 pounds, he has good size as well, and he bench pressed 225 pounds 18 times. Hollman is also an explosive athlete Bryan Bulaga Jersey , with a 38.5-inch vertical.Check out Hollman’s speed in this clip from the 2016 season, when he chased down a receiver from all the way across the field:Although Hollman had just two interceptions in three years as a starter, he was productive in breaking up passes J'Mon Moore Color Rush Jersey , averaging nine breakups per year. He walked on at Toledo as well, and now he is a sixth-round draft pick. The Jets are looking for their next head coach to have a big hand in developing quarterback Sam Darnold and that made it easy to connect the dots to interest in former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.It appears that a more tangible connection between McCarthy and the Jets is in the works. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Jets are expected to interview McCarthy, but there’s no word on when a meeting would take place.McCarthy has reportedly been contacted by the Browns as well and it wouldn’t be surprising to see other teams throw lines McCarthy’s way to gauge interest. He won a Super Bowl and took the Packers to the playoffs nine times while compiling a 125-77-2 record over 13 years in Green Bay.Most of that work came with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback and the Jets https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , Browns and other teams with young quarterbacks would love to replicate some of that success in the years to come.

offense so fast that he caught a TD pass on his first drive with the team five days after being acquired by the 49ers in a trade from Denver.Sanders only built from there by posting the most prolific receiving performance this season for the 49ers four days later as he already has become Jimmy Garoppolo's No. 1 outside target."I'm not surprised Seattle Seahawks T-Shirts ," Sanders said. "I really didn't give it any thought. My job is to come in, make plays and be in the perfect spot. His job is to deliver the football. We were able to do that."The Seattle Seahawks can only hope for as seamless a transition from their new big-play wideout. Josh Gordon could make his debut on Monday night for Seattle (7-2) in an NFC West showdown against the 49ers (8-0).The addition of Gordon to a wide receiver group that already includes the dynamic Tyler Lockett and impressive rookie D.K. Metcalf will make Seattle's passing game even more dangerous as soon as he becomes more comfortable in the offense and forms a good chemistry with Russell Wilson."It can be difficult. It can be hard on the fly," Gordon said. "You want to be able to just move without thinking as much. Getting to that part of the game is the most important part for me, making everything kind of more second nature. As long as you study and ask questions, the less doubts you have. For me, that's been my experience. I'm pretty well knowledgeable about certain offenses, talking to Coach Schottenheimer, talking to Russ. They've been instrumental in bringing me along in this process."Gordon was claimed off waivers by Seattle last week after being waived by New England following injuries to his knee and ankle. He passed a physical with the Seahawks and got on the practice field this week.Before being released, Gordon was among New England's leading receivers this season, with 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown through six games. He has dealt with several substance abuse suspensions in his career but also has shown great ability, with a league-leading 1,646 yards receiving in 14 games in 2013 with Cleveland."Josh is such a natural https://www.theseahawksfanshop.com/hats ," Wilson said. "He understands the game so well. How he catches the football, understands how to use leverage and catch the football and do all that. He makes it easy on me. He just comes in just ready to roll. He understands the route concepts. He understands what we're trying to do, and he just does a great job with it. To be honest with you, it's been a very smooth transition."The Seahawks can only hope it goes as well as Sanders' did in San Francisco after being acquired along with a fifth-round pick from Denver for third- and fourth-round draft picks in 2020 on Oct. 22.Sanders took a quick crash course in an offense that was similar to the one he played in with the Broncos, whose coordinator Rich Scangarello spent the previous two seasons as quarterbacks coach for the 49ers.Sanders then caught two passes on his first drive with San Francisco, including 4-yard TD from Garoppolo in a win over Carolina. He finished that game with four catches for 25 yards.Sanders was even better last week with seven catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in a 28-25 win at Arizona, giving the 49ers the No. 1 receiver that has been one of the only missing ingredients this season."He'll go over the middle, he'll go across, he'll go deep, he'll go outside, he'll go inside," 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said. "That's how a receiver is built. At 180 pounds going across the middle with no fear is not the way you always see it drawn up. You'll see 230-pound receivers who won't go across the middle. I don't think it's about the weight or the size of the dog Seattle Seahawks Hoodie , it's about the dog in you and he has huge dog."But there's more than toughness that has helped Sanders assimilate. There's also a trust with Garoppolo that has led to the early success.Never was that more evident than on a third-down play last week against Arizona, when Garoppolo started his throw well before Sanders began his break, only to have the ball arrive at precisely the right moment for a 22-yard gain."He's savvy," Garoppolo said. "He knows what to do, feels space when it's zone and he beats the guy when it's man. It's a nice combination. He's so smart that he just does things that, as a quarterback, you love to see, and it makes it easy on you to throw the ball to him." CHICAGO (AP) — Russell Wilson looked to his left and his right. He looked for help in the middle of the field. He looked short and he looked for deep balls.No one was open.It was that kind of Monday night for the Seattle Seahawks.Wilson was surrounded for most of Seattle’s 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears, and he got very little help from his teammates until the fourth quarter. He was sacked six times for the second straight week, including five in the first half, and made a game-sealing mistake in the final period.“We’re still a work in progress,” coach Pete Carroll said. “You can see how hard our guys played http://www.theseahawksfanshop.com/Phil-Haynes-Jersey , see how they fought throughout all the way to the last seconds on the clock.”Seattle (0-2) played without guard D.J. Fluker and receiver Doug Baldwin due to injuries, and Baldwin’s absence was particularly noticeable. Tyler Lockett was the Seahawks’ top receiver with five catches for 60 yards, but he got most of his numbers in the fourth. Brandon Marshall struggled to get open against one of his former teams.“I can always do better,” Marshall said. “There’s some things I definitely have to clean up. Just got to be sharper in everything that I do. We got to find a way to make plays.”The rushing attack also was shut down by Chicago’s refurbished defense, finishing with 74 yards on 22 carries. Seattle went almost 24 minutes of game time between rushing plays at one point.Wilson began the fourth quarter with just 69 yards on 9-for-20 passing, but he tried to rally the Seahawks down the stretch.“The fourth quarter showed us who we are and who we can be,” Wilson said. “We just got to get a better start and try to figure out how to catch that fire that we had in the fourth quarter, let’s put it in the first, second, third if we can do that, which I don’t think we’re far off by any means.”The four-time Pro Bowler found Lockett for 20 yards and tight end Nathan Vannett for 11 to move Seattle deep into Chicago territory. He then threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Lockett to trim the Bears’ lead to 17-10 with 10:13 left.Chicago (1-1) went three and out on the ensuing drive and punted the ball right back to Seattle. But Wilson’s pass intended for Rashaad Penny near midfield was picked off by Prince Amukamara, who returned his first interception since 2015 for his first career touchdown with 6:37 remaining.“You can’t even remember the last time Russ did that Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey ,” Carroll said.Wilson also lost a fumble on Seattle’s next drive. He passed to Will Dissly for a 2-yard touchdown with 14 seconds to go, but the Seahawks’ onside kick was unsuccessful and the Bears ran out the clock.The lackluster showing for Seattle’s offense wasted a solid performance for its defense, led by two second-quarter interceptions for Shaquill Griffin. The second-year cornerback made a nice play on an underthrown ball by Mitchell Trubisky, and then had a diving grab on a tipped ball.Mychal Kendricks had one of Seattle’s two sacks in his first game since he signed with the Seahawks on Friday. Kendricks pleaded guilty last week to insider trading charges, but he isn’t expected to be sentenced in the case until January and the NFL has yet to impose any discipline.“Just having this opportunity to play it means so much more to me,” said Kendricks, who was released by Cleveland on Aug. 29 after the charges were filed. “That being said, I plan on doing the most with it.”It just wasn’t enough, not with the Seahawks’ ineffective offense.Wilson was 22 for 36 for 226 yards. Penny was the top rusher with 10 carries for 30 yards as Seattle possessed the ball for just 25 1/2 minutes.“The fighter mentality in me is always going to be there so you can’t play scared,” Wilson said. “You got to be able to go for it. I think we were still able to do that. We had a lot of fourth-quarter comebacks and I believe those are going to happen.”
