  MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings screamed at Stefon Diggs to step out of bounds once he secured the leaping catch at the sideline  Womens Marcus Davenport Jersey , seeking to stop the clock for a long field goal try just after the New Orleans Saints had taken a late lead in their NFC divisional-round playoff game last season .Diggs spun around instead, pressed his hand on the turf to keep his balance and sprinted the remaining 34 yards for the game-ending 61-yard touchdown pass that became known as the Minneapolis Miracle.That throw-catch-run will forever be one of the most memorable plays in NFL history.With the Saints set to visit the Vikings on Sunday night in a prime-time reprise of their instant classic, the coaches and players on both sides were trying their best to forget it — as inevitable as the replays have been throughout the week.“We’ll just have to deal with watching that last play again another 15 times, another 20 times, but that’s part of it,” said Saints coach Sean Payton, who sounded more disturbed by a failure by his offense to convert a third-and-1 on the previous drive that would have further limited the time the Vikings had to rally.If Saints safety Marcus Williams had tackled Diggs instead of trying an ill-fated undercut, the story of that game would have been about yet another comeback engineered by Drew Brees.“We did everything we could at the end of that game to go win it, and unfortunately they made a great play that allowed them to win it,” Brees said. “So I let it go pretty quick. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.”Though he remains a promising second-year player Tre'Quan Smith Jersey White , Williams has had a hard time handling his infamy .“It’s another game,” he repeated each time the subject was broached by reporters this week.Even Diggs ducked the media this week. As for the revenge factor? The Saints dismissed that as fast as Diggs raced to the end zone that day. The Vikings did, too.“I think the Saints will come in with a chip on their shoulder because that’s who they are,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said.Here are some other key angles to follow for the game:BRILLIANT BREESAt age 39, Brees has completed better than 77 percent of his passes this season for 1,870 yards, 13 touchdowns and no interceptions. In beating the Baltimore Ravens last week, Brees became the fourth player in NFL history with 500 or more career touchdown passes.The Vikings might be without top cornerback Xavier Rhodes, which could mean a big test for rookie Holton Hill.“I’m really not worried about this guy as far as the game being too big for him or anything like that if he has to play,” Zimmer said of Hill. “I feel like he’s a competitor. But he’s going to get in some matchups that may not be great.”THE BASICSWith the whiff by Williams at the worst possible time as a prime example Womens Alvin Kamara Jersey , there’s no defensive skill more vital than tackling. The Vikings have been burned more than usual this season in pass coverage, but they’ve been sound on the ground with an average of 89.7 rushing yards allowed per game. With cornerback Trae Waynes, safety Harrison Smith and linebacker Eric Kendricks among the standouts, the Vikings have some of the surest tacklers in the league.“In today’s NFL, the way everybody’s playing in space now, if you’re not a good tackler in space it makes it really hard to be a good defensive team,” Zimmer said.GOING FOR ITThe Saints have run a fourth-down offensive play eight times in six games, converting seven.“That gives us confidence when you’ve got a coach that believes in his players,” running back Alvin Kamara said. “It’s cool to have that type of coach where he gives us opportunities to prove ourselves.”The Vikings have stopped four of the seven fourth-down plays against them. During their current three-game winning streak, they’ve thwarted 28 of 32 third downs and reclaimed the top spot in the league with a 23.4 percent conversion rate allowed.HILL’S ASCENTLast season Michael Thomas Saints Jersey , the Saints began to experiment with third-string quarterback Taysom Hill’s versatility by letting him cover kicks. This year, he has on several short-yardage occasions replaced Brees under center as a change-of-pace, read-option quarterback. Hill also has executed fake punts as a runner and a thrower, caught a pass and even took his first pitch as a running back last week.“He’s powerful. He’s got speed,” Kamara said. “I love having him. I wouldn’t want him to be nowhere else.”TEDDY TALKBetween Brees and Hill on the depth chart is Teddy Bridgewater, who was acquired in a trade with the New York Jets two months ago. Though he’s not likely to see the field, this will be Bridgewater’s first visit to Minnesota as an opponent after playing his first four seasons for the Vikings.“He’s got a lot of really good traits. You can tell he’s a guy that guys really like and will follow, and that’s what you need at the quarterback position,” Brees said.If Bridgewater had not suffered that devastating knee injury in 2016, he’d probably still be the face of the franchise in Minnesota instead of Kirk Cousins.“Like I’ve said a million times Marcus Davenport Jersey , I thought he’d be the quarterback for the rest of my career,” Zimmer said. “I love the kid. I love his nature, competitiveness, everything about him.” New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is the third candidate to interview for the Miami Dolphins‘ coaching job.He met Saturday with the Dolphins, who earlier interviewed New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Miami is seeking a replacement for Adam Gase, fired Monday after three seasons.Allen went 8-28 as head coach of the Oakland Raiders before he was fired four games into the 2014 season. Since he joined the Saints, they’ve risen from 31st in yards allowed in 2015 to 14th this season.The Dolphins are also expected to interview their special teams coach, Darren Rizzi; Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio; Dallas Cowboys secondary coach Kris Richard; and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak, now the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach.

This note from Stephen Jones regarding the running back market gives an idea of where the front office is at." Dallas Cowboys 2019 Training CampStephen Jones: Market was “reset” with Le’Veon Bell contractNew,200comments This note from Stephen Jones regarding the running back market gives an idea of where the front office is at.CDTIt’s been a hectic last few days for Stephen Jones. Being one of the lead faces of the Cowboys contract negotiations, Jones has had his hands full this offseason with his three biggest offensive weapons negotiating new contracts. One of those players looking for a new contract is running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott is the only player absent from training camp, while holding out looking for a new deal. Earlier in the offseason https://www.thecowboyslockerroom.com/authentic-leighton-vander-esch-jersey , Stephen Jones was on record saying that the “starting point” for Ezekiel Elliott’s new deal would be similar to what Todd Gurley received last offseason, but it sounds as if that has now changed.While sitting in with 105.3 The Fan, Jones said that the Todd Gurley deal was the starting point for Ezekiel Elliott before Le’Veon Bell reset the running back market with his deal with the New York Jets this offseason. Bell signed a four-year, $52.5 million ($27 million guaranteed) contract with the New York Jets, after sitting out the 2018 season. To put it in perspective, Todd Gurley signed a four-year, $57.5 million ($45 million guaranteed) contract with the Los Angeles Rams before the start of the 2018 season. With this new note from Jones Taco Charlton Jersey White , we can now get an inside look of what the Cowboys front office is bringing to the table in negotiations with Elliott and his agent. The Joneses are looking at two similar style of players in Gurley and Bell, and likely trying to give Elliott a deal somewhere in the middle. What makes this tough is Elliott wants to be the highest-paid running back in the NFL, but the Cowboys are starting to see the running back position be devalued around the NFL. The interesting thing here is, the Bell and Gurley contract are only a $5 million mil apart in terms of total money, but $18 million apart in guaranteed money, which is where the hangup could come in.While Elliott is not in Oxnard, there is likely still work being done between the two parties to try and get a deal done before the start of the season. With Elliott’s camp threatening to hold out of the regular season Amari Cooper Jersey White , and the Cowboys standing firm on their offer, it’ll be interesting to see who budges first. Time is constantly ticking.

  Scouting Notebook is back for 2019 as we take a weekly look at college prospects who could fit the Colts. If you are unfamiliar with this series Peyton Manning Jersey , the Scouting Notebook highlights four prospects each week that Colts fans should have their eye on for the upcoming NFL Draft. Now that Chris Ballard has three Colts’ drafts under his belt, it is much easier to identify his types at most positions and really target guys that he may like.Today’s Scouting Notebook will be focused on the Quarterback edition. Regardless of how the Colts’ finish this season, they could be in the discussion for a QB in this upcoming draft if they feel unsure about Jacoby Brissett’s future with the team. Luckily, there are a few good options in this upcoming draft if they decide to move on from Brissett or if they want to find a high upside backup for him next year. Here are five QB prospects the Colts may look at in the 2020 NFL Draft:Justin Herbert, OregonTroy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports Background: The prototypical mold for an NFL QB, Herbert looks every bit the part. Highly touted since his Sophomore year at Oregon, he has been on the NFL radar for years as he finishes up his Senior season. After surprisingly coming back to Oregon for his final year, he has put together an impressive 2,329 passing yards to go along with 24 TDs and just 2 INTs in only 9 games. He also has a completion percentage of 69.4 and a yards per attempt of 8.1. Analysis: Herbert is a very talented quarterback with the arm strength to make any NFL throw when asked. He throws with great velocity on his passes and shows the ability to throw with anticipation. Herbert is a very good athlete as well, able to get out of a collapsing pocket and make plays with his feet. He possesses natural accuracy when his feet are set, and can make throws down the field with good touch and anticipation. He’s also very smart in the classroom, and is a quiet leader of the locker room.Herbert does Struggle with his mechanics and footwork at times. There are too many occasions on film where he misses open players due to footwork and mechanical issues. He needs some work on the cerebral side as well, as he does struggle a bit to read defenses and that results in a lot of missed opportunities down the field. His biggest concerns, however, are the mechanical and footwork issues that cause inaccurate misses far too often. Highlights:Fit with the Colts: If the Colts want to get Herbert in this draft, they will have to be aggressive. He looks the part of an NFL QB and has the arm talent and natural accuracy to be a long term starter. His ability to thread the needle and throw with anticipation could be a major boost to a rather lifeless Colts offense. If the Colts are concerned with his raw play, they could also elect to sit him for a year while Brissett runs the offense in 2020. Either way, the Colts could have their future at the QB position with Justin Herbert. Jacob Eason, WashingtonTroy Wayrynen-USA TODAY SportsBackground: A once highly-regarded high school recruit, Eason’s college career hasn’t gone exactly to plan. The former 5 Star had an up and down start for Georgia before he transferred to Washington after losing his job to Jake Fromm. After sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, he began showing his immense talent for the Huskies. So far, he has thrown for 2,472 yards, 20 TDs, and 8 INTs in 10 games. He has also completed 63.7% of his passes for 7.8 yards per attempt. Analysis: Eason has a big arm with a gunslinger mentality. He’s not afraid to force the ball into tight spaces as he plays with great confidence in the backfield. He makes NFL throws with ease as he has the velocity and anticipation to make them. Eason’s not a great athlete, but mobile enough to make plays out of the pocket and on the move. He stands tall in the pocket and will take a hit if it means completing a pass downfield. Eason’s gunslinger mentality can go wrong too often, and his decision making needs some work. He needs to understand when to take a risk and when not to. His throwing motion is also a bit elongated, and isn’t as quick as one would like. Eason needs to work through his progressions a bit quicker and not hold on for the deep ball as much in the NFL.Highlights:Fit with the Colts: With Eason, the Colts could have a traditional gunslinger with a ton of potential. He may be an unfinished product at the moment with his decision making and anticipation Darius Leonard Jersey , but the upside and aggressiveness in his game can’t be ignored. The Colts could either sit him behind Brissett for a year or elect to play the youngster and roll with the ups and downs. If the Colts go QB in this next draft, getting a player with Eason’s talent would be a huge plus. Jalen Hurts, OklahomaKevin Jairaj-USA TODAY SportsBackground: One of the craziest college football stories will come to an end this year. A Freshman Starter and National Champion for Alabama, Jalen Hurts was forced to transfer to Oklahoma as a Senior after to losing his job to the talented Tua Tagovailoa. He has put together his best collegiate season under Lincoln Riley, throwing for 2,742 yards, 24 TDs, and 4 INTs. He has also rushed 125 times for 869 yards and 15 TDs on the year. Analysis: An outstanding athlete, Hurts is basically a running back playing quarterback. He has the ability to make defenses pay with both his arm and his legs. Hurts is excellent outside of the pocket, as he thrives when the playcall is broken down. He’s also strong in the pocket and does a good job of maneuvering around oncoming rushers. He has good arm strength and the natural accuracy necessary to survive in the NFL. He’s shown the ability to improve over time as a passer, and is a quintessential leader of a football team.Throwing with anticipation is a major concern, as he struggles to throw players open. Hurts’ arm strength is good enough to survive, but he won’t often threaten a defense deep with his arm. He can often be too reliant on his legs to make a play, and tends to stare down receivers and struggles to get through his reads. HighlightsFit with the Colts: With Jalen Hurts, the Colts would be getting a potential difference maker in year one at QB. He may not have the best natural accuracy or anticipation in his game, but he makes up for it with his dual threat ability. Frank Reich could be truly creative with Hurts, as he can do so many things for an offense. If the Colts truly want to move on from Brissett and don’t want to move up in the draft for a new QB, Hurts would be the perfect fit for the team both on and off the field. Nate Stanley, IowaVincent Carchietta-USA TODAY SportsBackground: The strong armed QB of the Hawkeyes looks to carry his play over to the NFL. Stanley may not be a household name but he has led one of the better teams in the Big 10 the last three seasons. As a Senior, Stanley has passed for 2,158 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions in 9 games. He has completed 60.7 percent of his passes and has 7.4 yards per attempt. Additionally, he will likely be a Senior Bowl addition, so he checks off a few “Chris Ballard boxes” from the beginning. Analysis: Stanley has all the talent and ability to run a Frank Reich led offense. He has a big arm and can make NFL throws with velocity and touch. He is mobile in and out of the pocket, and can make plays on the move, as well. He really needs work with his throwing mechanics and facing pressure in the pocket, but he has the traits and demeanor to be a good project quarterback as a backup. Highlights:Fit with the Colts: Stanley may not be the short-term answer for the Colts but he has long-term potential. With a big arm, decent mobility Malik Hooker Jersey White , and ability to make NFL throws, there is a lot there to work with. He may take some grooming from Reich, but he could maybe become the guy one day. If they decide to take Stanley in this coming draft, the Colts would at the very least have a strong armed, young backup behind Brissett going forward. Brian Lewerke, Michigan StateMike Carter-USA TODAY SportsBackground: Another big armed/big body QB, Lewerke hopes to raise his draft stock at the Senior Bowl in 2020. He started his career strong at MSU, gaining fans in the draft community early in his Junior season as a result. As his play tapered off a bit, his stock fell as well, but the talent is there. As a Senior, Lewerke has thrown for 2,012 yards, 12 TDs, and 7 INTs. He has completed just 55.7% of his passes and has a yards per attempt of 6.8. Analysis: While the last two seasons haven’t been pretty, he has shown the ability to be an NFL quarterback back when he was a Sophomore. He has great arm strength and velocity on his throws, and he can make NFL throws with ease. He has shown the ability to throw with anticipation and won’t shy away from difficult throws. He needs a lot of work pre-snap, and his accuracy issues will always be a problem, but with the right coaching, he could be something in the NFL.Highlights:Fit with the Colts: Like Stanley, Lewerke fits that big-armed yet moldable backup model. He is not at all ready for the NFL at the moment, but he does have the talent to eventually be something in the league. If he can work on his play from the pocket and throwing mechanics as well as some other cerebral aspects of his game, he can be something in this league. He would be a low-risk investment for the Colts to take a flyer on and hope to develop into something. Trey Flowers could be the premier pass rusher that makes it to the market"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Colts StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Colts NewsYahoo Colts Team PageYahoo Colts ReportYahoo Colts Depth ChartYahoo Colts TransactionsYahoo Colts PhotosShop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Colts NewsColts AnalysisFree AgencyPossible Colts free agent targets: Patriots defensive end Trey FlowersNew,9commentsTrey Flowers could be the premier pass rusher that makes it to the marketESTShareTweetShareSharePossible Colts free agent targets: Patriots defensive end Trey FlowersFrom his first days in office, Chris Ballard has been transparent about his approach to Free Agency. “Eventually what you would like to happen is you are paying your own guys,” and with big paydays awaiting some Colts over the next couple of years, it makes sense to start saving up some cash. Players like Anthony Castonzo (‘19), Ryan Kelly (‘19 but there is 5th-year clause), Eric Ebron (‘19), T.Y. Hilton (‘20) and Andrew Luck (‘21) are gonna require some mayor paychecks if the Colts choose to bring them back.However Womens Peyton Manning Jersey , with $107 million in the bank, the Colts have more than enough to re-sign their own, and maybe make a splash in the free agent market. With that in mind, let’s take a look at a possible target.Trey FlowersA talented (averages 7 sacks per season) and young (25) pass rusher, Flowers seems to have the makings of a star. He has thrived in the Patriots Fairbanks-Bullough 3–4 defensive scheme, and while that is not the base defense in Indianapolis, there are important similarities. The primary goals are to pressure the quarterback and force opponents to accept short 3-5 yard gains, while protecting against big plays and trying to shut down the opponent’s primary weapon(s).The Patriots are strapped for cash, with $23 million in total and about $15 million to spend on FA. It should also be noted that Belichick has a history of letting players that want large contracts go. However, many of those players struggle outside of Foxborough. Players like Malcolm Butler, Dion Lewis, Danny Amendola and Nate Solder have seen their production drop on other teams. Nonetheless, Flowers could be one of the few pass rushers to make it to the market. While his stock is rising, the Colts have the available cap space to offer him a front-loaded 4-year, $60 million contract with 50% guaranteed cash.It might be a little more than Ballard would like ($15 million APY) but, theoretically, they know he has a floor of providing 7 sacks and 50 tackles every year.If Ballard signed Flowers, the Colts would have a healthy rotation of pass rushers with Tyquan Lewis, Jabaal Sheard, Kemoko Turay and Flowers. This would enable them to spend a higher pick on another position of need (DT, WR, CB) and further improve the roster.The probability of Colts signing Flowers: Slightly above average. The Colts are likely on a short-list of possible suitors due to factors like cap space, playoff contention, and scheme fit. Still, it would not be a surprise to see Flowers end up elsewhere.
