coming for the Davis family."

When life has a person down in the dumps, a mother is always the first to come help them climb out of the muck. When a family is barely scraping by with no dream for anyone in sight, a mother is tirelessly working to make sure there’s a fighting chance. When it seems like all is lost, a mother never gives up. A mother always thinks there’s a chance. A mother has never heard the “fat lady singing”—even when the fat lady is singing quite loudly—and never will. On Mother’s Day 2019, Bears running back Mike Davis paid the ultimate tribute to his mom: He bought her a brand new house. It’s a fulfilled promise he made to his mom almost four years ago to the day. One of six siblings while growing up in Atlanta, Davis’s childhood before football was anything but easy. He’s routinely credited his mom for lifting his family up in such strenuous times. When it came time to make a decision about entering the 2015 NFL Draft, Davis’s mom was facing eviction Bennie Fowler III Jersey , and it made Davis’s choice that much easier. He had all the motivation necessary to enter the process early. It was all about helping her, about giving back. Years later, coming off the heels of a lucrative deal signed with the Bears in March, Davis could finally repay his mom for the sacrifices she made in helping him reach his dream. That it came on Mother’s Day in tandem with such a powerful moment of raw emotion made it all the sweeter. Happy Mother’s Day.Robert is the Editor-in-chief of The Blitz Network, the managing editor of Windy City Gridiron, and the Bears beat writer for The Rock River Times. Follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bears coach Matt Nagy need not worry about any R-rated remarks that might have been picked up by the microphone he wore in a win over the New York Jets last week.“Is it good or bad?” asked Nagy, who had forgotten he was miked up in the first place for a 4 1/2-minute segment posted on the team’s website this week.“Good? I hope so,” he said. “I know there could be some bad stuff on there.”Nagy generated rave reviews http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-taylor-gabriel-jersey , with the series of clips shedding further light on how the first-year coach has spurred second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s development as the Bears travel to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.“I’m going to challenge you right now these two quarters for greatness,” Nagy told Trubisky on the sideline at halftime. “You take this thing over right now.”Trubisky responded by overseeing three consecutive scoring drives in which the Bears turned a 7-3 lead into a 24-10 win.He called the pep-talk inspiring.“When he says that, I think it just makes us more goal-oriented,” Trubisky said. “I think it really just honed me in, made me focus more.”Trubisky has been on a roll.His 1,814 yards passing in seven games are 379 yards shy of his total in 12 games last year. He has been especially sharp the past four games with 1,233 yards passing and 13 touchdowns — the most over that span for Chicago since Sid Luckman in 1947.Coupled with an opportunistic defense, which ranks second in the NFL with 17 takeaways, the Bears (4-3) are off to their best start in five years.The Bills (2-6) Womens Trey Burton Jersey , by comparison, are off to their worst start since 2010, and coach Sean McDermott has had difficulty coaxing much out of a patchwork offense.They haven’t scored a touchdown in two games, and managed just 87 points all season.And now Buffalo faces the prospect of starting turnover-prone Nathan Peterman on Sunday, with rookie Josh Allen (sprained throwing elbow) ruled out for a third consecutive week, and Derek Anderson dealing with concussion-related issues.This would mark Peterman’s second turn at starting this season, and after he went 5 of 18 for 24 yards and two interceptions through two-plus quarters of a 47-3 season-opening loss at Baltimore.“I’m thankful for all the opportunities I’ve been through, all the lessons I’ve learned, and ready to be better from them Cody Parkey Jersey ,” said Peterman, who has 10 interceptions in 84 career passing attempts, including a brief playoff appearance. “I’m going to go out there and do my best to get us a win.”PRYOR COMMITMENTReceiver Terrelle Pryor is in position to make his Bills debut five days since signing with Buffalo, and 10 days after being released by the New York Jets.After saying he felt “underused” during his six-game stint in New York, ending with a groin injury, Pryor is confident he make an immediate impact in Buffalo.“I expect high things from myself, and I expect high things from the offense,” he said. “Just because we lost some games doesn’t mean we can’t win or can’t put things together. I believe.”LINING UPThe Bears have a big hole to fill at right guard after Kyle Long hurt his foot last weekend. Eric Kush or rookie James Daniels, who have split time at left guard http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-khalil-mack-jersey , are candidates to fill the job. Another option is Bryan Witzmann, who signed three weeks ago. Witzmann started 13 games last season in Kansas City, where Nagy was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator.UNCERTAIN HOMECOMINGKhalil Mack’s return to Buffalo is up in the air with the Bears star pass rusher’s status uncertain due to an injured right ankle. Mack emerged as a star during a four-year career at the University at Buffalo, which was the only Division I school to offer him a scholarship. He went on to be selected fifth overall in the 2014 draft by the Raiders, before Oakland dealt Mack to Chicago before the start of this season.WILDCAT MEMORIESNagy wasn’t surprised to see Bills running back LeSean McCoy taking a few snaps in the wildcat formation during a 25-6 loss to the Patriots on Monday.“He’s done that going back to Bishop McDevitt in Pennsylvania in high school,” Nagy said. “I got to see him do it.”Nagy was an Eagles assistant coach when Philadelphia drafted McCoy in 2009.STALLED MCCOYMcCoy declined to speak to reporters after Buffalo’s first two practices this week since expressing his frustrations after managing just 13 yards rushing against New England. Though he had a season-best 82 yards receiving, McCoy managed 1 yard on his final 11 carries.He has not scored in nine consecutive games dating to last season, since scoring a TD rushing and receiving in a 24-17 win over Miami on Dec. 17.

against the Jaguars without three members of the roster.The team announced on Thursday afternoon that running back Darren Sproles http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-jason-kelce-jersey , cornerback Sidney Jones and linebacker Nathan Gerry will all remain in Philadelphia this weekend. All three have been out of practice both days this week and have injuries that have kept them out of multiple games.Sunday’s game will be the seventh that Sproles has missed with a hamstring injury. Jones is out for the second straight week with the same injury and Gerry is going to miss a third game with ankle and knee problems.Safety Corey Graham and defensive end Derek Barnett were also listed as non-participants, although the team has already confirmed that Barnett will go on injured reserve and have shoulder surgery. Quarterback Carson Wentz went from a limited participant to a full one in a repeat of last week’s trajectory. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz’s back injury will sideline him for Sunday’s game at the Los Angeles Rams.With the Eagles’ No. 1 quarterback out, Nick Foles gets another opportunity to rescue the team he led to a Super Bowl victory last season.The Eagles moved Wentz from doubtful to out on the injury list Saturday.Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Wentz does not require surgery for a stress fracture in his back and the injury could take up to three months to heal. But Pederson wouldn’t rule him out for the rest of this season. The Eagles (6-7) are still in the chase for a playoff spot.There’s no lack of confidence in Foles among the Eagles, of course.“He’s the guy and it’s my job to create as much separation for him or if he gives me an opportunity and I am covered, go get it Womens Chance Warmack Jersey ,” wide receiver Nelson Agholor said after Friday’s practice.Foles hasn’t taken a snap in a game since Week 2. He took over in Week 14 last season after Wentz tore two ligaments in his left knee during a comeback win on the road against the Rams. Foles led Philadelphia to its first NFL title since 1960 and started the first two games this season, going 1-1.“Nick is a Super Bowl MVP quarterback for a reason and we’ve got a ton of confidence that he’s going to give it his all like he always does,” said tight end Zach Ertz, who caught the winning touchdown pass from Foles in Philadelphia’s 41-33 win over New England in February.Foles is 21-12 as a starter, including playoffs Nick Foles Jersey , in two stints with Philadelphia. He has completed 65.9 percent of his passes for 451 yards, one TD and one interception this season. He was outstanding last postseason, completing 72.6 percent of his passes for 971 yards, six TDs, one pick and also had a TD catch.Pederson is optimistic about Wentz’s recovery.“The fact that he doesn’t need surgery on this is the best news you could possibly have on anybody that has a stress fracture or stress injury http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-deandre-carter-jersey ,” Pederson said Friday.The team isn’t certain when Wentz got hurt and Pederson said the injury developed over time. A test on Tuesday revealed his condition.“He’s one of the toughest dudes I know, but of course it’s going to affect him,” wide receiver Jordan Matthews said after Thursday’s practice. “You have to be able to twist, you have to be able to turn. Carson is probably the best quarterback also throwing off the run, so that affects your running Womens Nigel Bradham Jersey , too. He’s wearing a knee brace. This guy is playing through a lot.”

n the Seattle Seahawks would return to their roots of being based around a solid run game.They'll need to be that way at least in the short term Marcus Cooper Jersey , with wide receiver Doug Baldwin likely out the next couple of games because of an MCL injury in his right knee suffered in the season-opening loss to Denver.Carroll was evasive about an exact timeline on Baldwin and vague about the specifics of the injury. He said it would be "maybe a couple of weeks" for Baldwin, but would only say it would be difficult for Baldwin to be able to play next Monday against Chicago. As for the injury itself, Carroll said "he does have MCL issues," but provided no other details.No matter how long Baldwin is out, it's bad news for Seattle's offense, which showed flashes in the opener against Denver but had too much inconsistency, especially on third downs."He'll be able to get back from this. He'll come back from it. It just depends. We've got to see it through," Carroll said. "It's really early in the year and we have to take care of him and look after him first and foremost and then we'll only do what he is capable of doing."Baldwin was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-24 loss to Denver. He was rolled up on from behind and left the game, only to return for a brief stint in the second quarter. Baldwin changed out of his uniform into sweats and watched the second half from the Seattle sideline. He played just 11 of 55 offensive snaps.To add depth at wide receiver http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-fuller-jersey , Seattle moved Keenan Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster and released safety Shalom Luani, who was acquired in a trade with Oakland at the end of training camp.While the absence of Baldwin will put more attention on veteran Brandon Marshall and Tyler Lockett, the biggest boost to Seattle's offense would be getting its run game going. Seattle had 16 total rushing attempts against the Broncos, 14 of those by running backs. Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny each had seven carries, although Carson was far more productive and appears to have earned the nod as the primary ball carrier.Carson finished with 51 yards on his seven carries, along with three receptions. Carroll said Penny is still regaining his form after missing the final couple weeks of the preseason following hand surgery."Chris was really good and really aggressive with the plays that he had," Carroll said. "Rashaad looked a little rusty to me and I visited with him about it. He had only one really good week of practice coming back and it wasn't enough. He needs more work. He wasn't as responsive as he was before he had to sit out a little while."The reasons for Seattle's lack of a run game were plenty, including penalties and down-and-distance situations. But the biggest culprit was Seattle's inability to extend drives. Seattle was just 2 of 12 on third downs and had no conversions in the first half, when it ran a mere 24 offensive plays.Seattle's first third-down conversion didn't come until midway through the third quarter Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , when Russell Wilson hit Marshall on a 20-yard touchdown on third-and-7. Carroll was most irritated about Seattle missing on several third downs of five yards or less."Every one of them should have been conversions. That changes the complexion of everything about the game," Carroll said.NOTES: Carroll said there were no other injuries of significance coming out of the game. ... Rookie LB Shaquem Griffin had a rough debut with a few mistakes, Carroll said. Griffin had two tackles and saw Austin Calitro take some of his playing time. "He had some problems on some stuff," Carroll said. "He got fooled on a couple of things, but he played hard, played tough." Since the winner of Sunday’s game between the 3-5 Chicago Bears and the 3-4-1 Detroit Lions will see their slim playoff hopes remain kicking for another week, with the loser taking up the cellar of the NFC North, I wanted to see what the national Power Ranking analysts thought of both teams. Neither team has looked good of late, with the Bears losing their last four games and the Lions dropping four of their last five Josh Bellamy Jersey , so let’s see what the experts are saying. Over at NFL.com they have the Lions down 3 spots to 19 and the Bears down 2 spots to 22. If you haven’t watched the Lions this year, Stafford has been playing really good. ESPN has Detroit down 2 places to 18th overall while they have the Bears down to 21st after being at 17 a week ago. Teams have been lighting up Detroit’s D, so something has to give this week as they face the Bears craptastic offense. CBS Sports has the Lions down 4 to 20, and the Bears holding steady at 22. Bad offense vs. bad defense this Sunday!Here’s how Yahoo Sports has it this week. Stunning and Shocking! This game is going to be great!Here’s how the USA Today has it.The Bears will certainly get a veteran QB in this offseason. The Sporting News has Detroit and Chicago like this.The Bears could be in luck if the Lions abandon the run and Khalil Mack can just get after the QB. It would appear that running the ball 25 times with David Montgomery is the only the way the Bears can keep this game close, but will Nagy do it?

Womens Isaac Seumalo Jersey , and with the receiver having the fifth-highest salary-cap charge, some wondered whether the Eagles might even cut him.Agholor, who is scheduled to make $9.4 million in the final year of his deal, still is in Philadelphia and a big part of the Eagles’ plans for this season.“You have to think about it — what am I worried about? Am I worried about having a job in this league? Not at all,” Agholor said, via Zach Berman of the philly.com. “But I want to be an Eagle, and I’m here. At the end of the day, that’s for them to control and me to say Chuck Bednarik Jersey , ‘Hey, look, I’m ready to play football for the Eagles, and I’m ready to play football in general.’”Agholor, a first-round pick of the Eagles in 2015, said he has “unfinished business” in Philadelphia. His production decreased last season in the six games after the Eagles traded for Golden Tate, with both players excelling in the slot.Agholor finished with 64 catches for 736 yards and four touchdowns.“It’s in the past,” Agholor said. “It helped me by learning more positions. It put me in another position to continue to work on outside receiver http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-herman-edwards-jersey , some Z, some X. I did it earlier in my career.“I got to go back out there with a new mindset, more development, more football under me. It was cool. At the end of the day, I don’t play one position. I play any position on the board out there, and that’s what I love about the game.”Tate is gone, but DeSean Jackson is back. That likely returns Agholor to the slot, but he said he’s “going to play everywhere.” “I like playing the slot because it gives me an advantage Womens Tommy McDonald Jersey , use my speed versus some guys and use my size versus some guys, and I’ve learned a lot playing in there,” Agholor said. “But I’ve played a lot of outside receiver in my life. I know how to win on the outside, too, on ‘go’ balls, ‘post’ balls, things like that. And at the end of the day, I do whatever I need to do to help this team win. And I think my versatility puts us in a good position.” Read on for today’s news!" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesBleeding Green Nation homepageHorizontal - WhiteBleeding Green Nationa Philadelphia Eagles communityFollow Bleeding Green Nation online:Follow Bleeding Green Nation on TwitterFollow Bleeding Green Nation on FacebookLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchBleeding Green Nation main menuFanpostsFanshotsEaglesOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Live updates from Eagles vs. Ravens joint practiceNew Jerome Brown Jersey ,21commentsRead on for today’s news!EDTI have some bad news and some good news.The bad news is that today marks last day of Philadelphia Eagles training camp session open to the media.

LAKE FOREST http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-devin-hester-jersey , Ill. (AP)While the Chicago Bears addressed one need at linebacker early in the NFL draft, their problem at outside pass rusher had to wait.It waited until the sixth round on Saturday.Bears general manager Ryan Pace turned largely to the defensive side in the final day with three selections, including sixth-round defensive end Kylie Fitts from Utah.Before Fitts, the Bears selected Western Kentucky inside linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe in Round 4, and Delaware defensive tackle Bilal Nichols in Round 5. They closed out the draft in the seventh round by taking another target for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, Georgia wide receiver Javon Wims.After grabbing Georgia standout inside linebacker Roquan Smith with the No. 8 overall pick on Thursday, the Bears drafted Iowa center James Daniels with the 39th pick on Friday, then traded up to select Memphis receiver Anthony Miller at No. 51.Yet there was no outside pass rush help until they took Fitts as the Bears stuck to their draft board instead of moving up or reaching for a player at a position of need.”You’ve just got to be careful that you don’t force these things Womens Danny Trevathan Jersey ,” Pace said. ”I’m glad we attacked needs, but we also took best players on the board.”Now they’ll be left to rely on free agent acquisition Aaron Lynch and third-year linebacker Leonard Floyd for an outside pass rush, while considering remaining unrestricted free agents or undrafted free agents.Overall, productive safe picks replaced potential and risky selections for Chicago, as Pace made only one trade in his first draft since Matt Nagy became coach.Last year, Pace traded up to select Trubisky with the second pick of the draft after Trubisky had just 13 college starts. He picked fast, undersized pass rusher Floyd in the first round in 2016, and in 2015 drafted inexperienced wide receiver Kevin White. White has played in five NFL games due to injuries.The Bears finished last in the NFC North for the fourth straight year and have missed the playoffs every season since 2010 Cody Whitehair Jersey , leading to the firing of coach John Fox. They haven’t posted a winning record since 2012, Lovie Smith’s final year.INJURY QUESTIONSA defensive end in Utah’s 4-3 formation, Fitts has more than his inexperience in the Bears’ 3-4 scheme to overcome. He had a Lisfranc ligament tear in his foot in 2016 and played in only two games, then had shoulder and ankle sprains last year.Fitts called the injuries the reason he dropped from a projected pick in the third or fifth rounds to the sixth.”It was just a run of bad luck and I think I got it all out of the way,” Fitts said. ”I think it definitely made me into a stronger man and I’m healthy now and I’m excited to play for the Bears.”OVERLOOKED AGAINGoing undrafted until the final round gave Georgia’s Wims a familiar overlooked feeling.When the Bears’ seventh-round pick came out of high school, he had to go to NAIA Belhaven after only one year of high school football and because of poor grades. Wims left Belhaven for Hinds Junior College, earned a scholarship to Georgia, and helped lead the Bulldogs to the national title game last year with team highs of 45 catches http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-jonathan-bullard-jersey , 720 yards and nine touchdowns.INSIDE CONNECTIONDelaware’s Nichols has a real inside Bears connection. Nagy is a Delaware grad, as is Bears offensive assistant Brian Ginn, who played quarterback and was an assistant for the Blue Hens.”Coach Ginn, he’s an awesome guy,” Nichols said. ”He was one of the guys that helped recruit me at Delaware. Unbelievable guy, great guy.”STILL NEEDAdditional outside pass rushers are needed because the Bears like to use a rotation of three or four outside rushers. Fitts joins Howard Jones, Isaiah Irving and Sam Acho as potential outside pass rushers behind Lynch and Floyd.Veterans Lamarr Houston, Pernell McPhee and Willie Young accounted for 10 Bears sacks last year but are no longer with the team.— There was a report earlier this month that that Bears were approached about trading running back Jordan Howard and the possibility of parting ways with their leading rusher from last season seemed to grow larger when they signed Mike Davis early in free agency.Bears head coach Matt Nagy didn’t play coy about the report when asked about it at the league meetings in Arizona on Tuesday. Nagy acknowleged the chatter and said General Manager Ryan Pace is “always going to see where we’re at” and will “entertain” trade offers that make the Bears better.Nagy added that he felt comfortable going forward with Howard Womens Akiem Hicks Jersey , Davis and Tarik Cohen on the roster as the team tries to improve its production on the ground.“For us, the running-back position right now is something that we think we’re in a good spot,” Nagy said, via the . “But we definitely feel overall between the [offensive] linemen, the running backs and me calling plays, that we can be better in the run game.”For his part, Pace said things still have to unfold and that no one “knows what’s going to happen in the draft.” That suggests that the good spot at running back isn’t necessarily one that the team is going to settle for heading into the regular season.

Hiring bad coaches. The Lions went 9-7 in back to back years before hiring Matt Patricia to change the culture and give him credit, he did. Detroit went 6-10, and Patricia grabbed headlines all year, a stark contrast to Jim Caldwell’s existence. He caught heat for Corey Graham Jersey , among other things, a sexual assault indictment that came to light after he was hired, practicing in the snow to toughen up players before they played four straight games in a dome, criticizing a reporter for posture during a press conference, only showing up to said press conferences on time once, and being consistently late to team meetings. What a leader.What are they bad at? By any measure the Lions offense stunk last year, but there’s reason to believe that won’t be the case this year. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell should be an upgrade over Jim Bob Cooter, and there’s talent in the passing game with Kenny Golladay http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey , Marvin Jones, and TJ Hockenson.

And now Holton is gone Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey , too?! Unacceptable. (Worst of all, I keep making these dumb jokes.)Seriously, though, it’s a tough break for these waived players as the Eagles clear out roster space to make undrafted free agent signings. Philadelphia’s roster currently stands at 79 players, which is 11 shy of the 90-man offseason limit.Holton originally signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles back in mid-January. He was always a long shot to make the roster but his speed gave him a chance to stand out. Here’s what we wrote about him earlier this year:The Eagles will officially announce their UDFA signings prior to the start of rookie minicamp this Friday, May 10.

reflect on before they decide whether or not to select Khalil Mack as the 2018 league MVP was not a Khalil Mack sack.The sack was a Leonard Floyd sack Tarik Cohen Jersey , and it came on 2nd and goal against the Packers on Sunday, with 24 seconds remaining and Aaron Rodgers shooting for the desperate touchdown-onside kick-field goal sequence to tie the game and stop the Bears from clinching the North.Mack rushed full bore on the right side of the Packers line, getting outside and upfield of both Green Bay linemen tasked with blocking him. As he neared Rodgers, who was looking left, he ducked under right tackle Jason Spriggs and kept the clock ticking on 12......and while all this was happening on the right side of the protection, Leonard Floyd was on the left side hanging back, looking for the pass, staying in front of left tackle David Bakhtiari and shooting his 33 1/8-inch arms into Rodgers’ field-of-vision.Finally, with Mack about to clear Spriggs and Eddie Goldman up the gut as well, Rodgers spun to his left. That move freed Floyd, who took one large step past Bakhtiari and reached his right arm out, catching Rodgers likely by surprise. Floyd closed on Rodgers with his left hand, wound his own body like a top and uncorked a spinning, heaving sack, tossing Rodgers to the grass one split-second before Mack arrived.Floyd’s momentum then carried him further upfield, and he let loose a cheer and did the Rodgers insurance belt celebration. Mack celebrated too Womens James Daniels Jersey , with a confident fist pump. It was Floyd’s play but it said everything you need to know about Mack’s impact on the Bears this year. It was the rush and the cheer, the pre-sack impact and the post-sack celebration, what he does for teammates on individual plays and what he has done for them broadly all season long.It was, in all its punctuated glory, the reason why Khalil Mack should be the 2018 NFL MVP.The debate around the 2018 NFL MVP award — specifically, the Associated Press NFL MVP — is hinging on the usual suspects, or more broadly the usual position: quarterback. Patrick Mahomes is the frontrunner. Drew Brees is right behind him. Tom Brady, Jared Goff and Philip Rivers are all getting looks, with Rivers’ stock on the rise.There are also folks in favor of Todd Gurley. I suppose Alvin Kamara will garner some attention. Kareem Hunt would be in the mix if he were still in the league. But those are also the usual suspects, because they are running backs.Quarterbacks and running backs. In a sport of 53 players with 22 men on the field, a sport where, as Olin Kreutz says, “Eleven guys have to dance together,” a sport allegedly comprising three equal “phases” — well, in that sport, either a quarterback or running back has been named league MVP every year going back to 1987. That’s 31 straight MVPs given to two positions.Prior to ‘86 http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-aaron-lynch-jersey , with the exception of the 9-game season in 1982, we saw QBs and RBs win 13 straight MVPs. That’s all quarterbacks and running backs winning MVP in anything approaching a full season from 1972 to 2017.The one outlier was a havoc-wreaking edge-rushing linebacker who led the league in 1986 with 20.5 sacks. You might have heard of him.“Wait a minute, we’re talking about Lawrence Taylor now,” Bill Belichick said earlier this year when asked to compare Mack, his upcoming opponent, to Taylor, his former defensive star. “I’m not putting anybody in Lawrence Taylor’s class. Put everybody down below that. With a lot of respect to a lot of good players, we’re talking about Lawrence Taylor.”That was fair. Taylor was the first person to win Defensive Player of the Year in consecutive seasons, the first to win it twice, the first to win it three times, was the best player on two Super Bowl champions and was a first ballot Hall of Famer. Whether discussing Taylor’s peak or his career vs. Mack at this point, putting Mack and all others a notch below arguably the greatest defensive player in the game’s history is a reasonable assessment.But many defenders since Taylor have transcended defense and flourished as unstoppable (or nearly unstoppable) destructive forces around which a champion was built, from Deion Sanders to Reggie White to Ray Lewis, along with players like Brian Urlacher, Ed Reed and of course J.J. Watt who had some combination of dominance and team greatness as to at some point warrant MVP consideration.Aaron Donald is someone who should be in that discussion, but for my money Kevin White Jersey , I’m taking Mack. We know the defensive credentials. He is tied for the league-lead with six forced fumbles and is sixth in sacks with 12.5 despite missing two games to injury. Of the three players with six forced fumbles, he is the only one who also has either an interception, defensive touchdown or recovered fumble, and he has all three.In short, you can’t stop Mack without holding him, as this photo gallery from Lester reveals:Yet that is all about the personal achievement. For MVP conversation, a player must help the rest of the team, both in production and intangibles. Mack has done that, helping launch a boom in production from the rest of the Bears defenders. Akiem Hicks, Kyle Fuller and Eddie Jackson are going to the Pro Bowl, and all three of Mack’s fellow linebackers are Pro Bowl alternates.They’ve played great, obviously, but Mack enhances them. He is the best player on a defense with the following NFL rankings:Takeaways: 1stDefensive TDs: 1stInterceptions: 1stPasses defensed: 1st1st downs allowed: 1stRushing TDs allowed: 1stRushing yards allowed: 2ndPoints allowed: 3rdYards allowed: 3rdSacks: 4thPassing yards allowed: 10thPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesThe Bears were a top-10 defense last year, which sounds great until you remember that there are 32 teams in the NFL, placing us just in the top 3rd. The 2017 Bears were never called “the best defense in the NFL,” and I don’t believe we would have reached that perch this year without Mack. Vegas agrees with me. The Bears shot from 100-1 odds to win Super Bowl LIII prior to the Mack trade on Sept. 1 Gale Sayers Jersey , all the way to 40-1 after it.We are now tied for 6th at 14-1.That steep incline is not solely attributable to Mack, of course — this is after all a team game. But he’s played the biggest role in that rise of any individual player, and I believe the difference he has made on the Bears is greater than the difference Mahomes, Brees, Rivers, Gurley, Donald or anyone else has made on their respective teams.This is not just about a guy lifting a team from bad to middle. This is about lifting them from middle to great. The Bears are a legitimate Super Bowl contender, right now, in 2018, a status we would not have reached this year without #52’s arrival.Which brings us to another part of the MVP argument: pressure.Pat Mahomes is playing lights-out football, but the pressure on him to do so at the start of the season was miniscule compared to what Mack faced. The 2016 Defensive Player of the Year was rumored to be traded to one team, and instead was traded to their rivals one week before the two teams played. He had to step on that field in Week 1 without the conditioning advantage of training camp or preseason and perform at a level befitting the highest paid defensive player in the NFL.In just one half, Mack delivered a sack, pick-six and forced fumble. This was a stat line that no other Bear had done in a game since 1950, and that only seven Bears had ever done in one entire SEASON.Maximum pressure. Maximum expectations. And a performance that wiped away the former and exceeded the latter.Defensive Player of the Year honors production. MVP assumes production and honors intangibles. MVP is not only about what you bring to a scheme but what you bring to a TEAM. It’s not only about what you do but about what your teammates do because of you. It’s not only about how you affect your side of the ball but how you affect your teammates on the other side of the ball. It’s not only about how you make your teammates and coaches feel but about how you make your fanbase feel.It’s the total package. Mack fulfills it.Some seasons are surprising at the time yet still surprising in retrospect — 2001, for instance. This season is surprising only from the vantage point of August 30 http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-singletary-jersey , 2018. Looking at it now, it all makes sense. Everything fits. There is nothing flukey about the 2018 Bears. We are a Super Bowl contender. Not next year. Now. It’s no surprise. It’s what MVPs do.---Jack M Silverstein is Windy City Gridiron’s Bears historian, and author of “How The GOAT Was Built: 6 Life Lessons From the 1996 Chicago Bulls.” He is the proprietor of Chicago sports history Instagram “A Shot on Ehlo.” Say hey at @readjack. What was the biggest factor in the Bears’ turnaround in 2018? Trading for All-Pro pass rusher Khalil Mack? Hiring Coach of the Year Matt Nagy? The development of their young starting quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky?Or was it just the dumb luck of not suffering many significant injuries?FootballOutsiders.com uses an advanced metric called “adjusted games lost” to show which teams were hurt the most by injuries. The metric incorporates not only how many games were missed by players on any team, but also whether those games were missed by starters or backups, and also which teams had a lot of players who were at less than 100 percent because they missed practice during the week with injuries. It’s probably the single best metric to answer the question, “How healthy was this team?”And the answer is, the Bears were very healthy in 2018. After being very unhealthy in 2017.Chicago ranked as the third-healthiest team in the NFL in 2018, after ranking 31st in 2017. No team in the NFL improved more on the injury front than the Bears last season.Unfortunately for the Bears, staying healthy is mostly a matter of getting lucky, and teams that have a sudden improvement in their health often regress toward the mean the following season. The Bears may have to count on their roster depth more this season than they did last season.

He ended up on the ground on the sideline http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-ditka-jersey , watching as Miller sped toward the end zone.It was that kind of day for Detroit's secondary.Playing without injured cornerback Darius Slay, the Lions were picked apart by Mitchell Trubisky in a 34-22 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Quin, DeShawn Shead and Nevin Lawson each had costly missed tackles, and coverage issues created large swatches of open green grass for Allen Robinson and the rest of Chicago's receivers."It is on us," Quin said. "We have to turn it around. At the end of the day, we're the ones out there playing. We have to get it fixed."Detroit (3-6) had played well against the pass in its first year under coach Matt Patricia, who was New England's defensive coordinator for six seasons before taking over the Lions in February. But the secondary issues for the Lions in their third consecutive loss looked more like their old teams than anything from Patricia's time with the Patriots."Ran into each other on one particular big play. We had a communication thing on another one," Patricia said. "But look, in the end, I just got to do a better job coaching it up and getting them in the right positions and we got to go out and execute."The trouble began on the first drive of the game. Shead was unable to bring down Robinson on a slant, and he ran all the way down to the Detroit 3 for a 35-yard play. Tarik Cohen carried the ball in for the Bears (6-3) on the next play.Shead got the start in place of Slay, who was sidelined for the first time this season because of a knee injury."Look, we're going to play with whoever's healthy and whoever's ready to go," Patricia said. "So Womens Richard Dent Jersey , for us, if you're out on the field you got to perform. You got to go out and execute. So obviously we didn't do a good job early on with our execution in the back end."The 29-year-old Shead had more trouble in the final minute of the first quarter. Chicago was facing third-and-15 at the Detroit 36 when Shead was beaten by Robinson at the line. He caught up, but couldn't find the ball as Robinson adjusted to make the catch in the end zone.It was more of the same in the second quarter. Miller was wide open on a reception on the right side of the field. Quin came over and tried to bring him down near the 20, but Miller ran through his tackle attempt for a 45-yard touchdown that made it 19-0 with 11:24 left in the first half."We just have to execute better," Shead said. "Just go in, look at the tape and just see, I mean the little things, the little mistakes. I know ... one play was miscommunication on my part on the back end. Just being on the same page and just jelling together and executing."Chicago led 26-7 at halftime. Trubisky was 14 for 16 for 209 yards at the break with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.The Lions' chances for a comeback took a hit when Robinson ran out of Lawson's tackle attempt for a 26-yard TD reception in the third quarter.Detroit began the weekend ranked fourth in the NFL with just 214.6 yards passing allowed per game. But Trubisky finished with a career-high 355 yards through the air, and Robinson and Miller each went over 100 yards receiving."There's a combination of a lot of fundamentals right now that need to be better across the board," Patricia said. "Tackling is one of them, but there's certainly, obviously, a bunch of things we need to work on."Jay Cohen can be reached at s://jcohenapWCG predicts...the 53-man roster: the results Now that the 53-man roster is official, we can finally answer the burning question on everyone’s mind: who won the WCG predictions?!?! If you missed the article where we made the predictions Dan Hampton Jersey , you can find that here. In case you missed it, Jacob Infante ended up winning the crown in 2017. Will he defend the throne, or will a new leader emerge? First things first, let’s see how the WCG faithful saw this shaking out...It looks like most people figured Lester would sit on the throne, followed closely by newcomer Aaron Leming. Surprisingly not a lot of love for Sam, who came in second place last year. Let’s break it down quick, shall we?QuarterbacksYou will see some color coding going on here. The orange are “hits” or correct answers, these are worth a single point (1). The yellow also garner some love, since the players were technically cut, but were also added to the practice squad. So yellows are worth a half point (0.5). Reds are, of course, incorrect answers. So anything red gets you nada. So for the quarterbacks, we all had Mitchell Trubisky and Chase Daniel making the team, while Sam correctly placed him on the practice squad. Lester was the only dissenter that had him making the team. Running BacksRyan Nall http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-brian-urlacher-jersey , Taquan Mizzell, and Michael Burton made this a really ugly position group. Jacob was the only one with the foresight to see Burton surviving the guillotine. Wide ReceiversThis is the first of the grey players. When a player ends up on injure reserve, they are basically removed from the count. You can’t really predict injuries, nor could we predict whether or not Marlon Brown is on this team without the injury. In what is becoming a recurring theme, Jacob has a virtually flawless receiver group, while Lester’s is a bit of a mess. Cutting Joshua Bellamy and placing Javon Wims on the practice squad was a killer here. Patti went big with 8 wide receivers, it doesn’t seem like such a bold move after the Packers did it though. Tight EndsThis was pretty cut-and-dry here. Adam Shaheen to the injured reserve was a bit surprising and likely would have changed a few selections had we known it at the time. After going through the preseason, Ben Braunecker making the team was well deserved. Offensive LinemanVirtually everyone completely missed on both Jordan Morgan and Rashaad Coward. If it wasn’t for that pesky Ryan Pace mucking things up with that Khalil Mack trade, Hroniss Grasu would have made this competition a little more interesting.Defensive LinemanThere was a lot of concensus on the defensive line as well. Every single one of us missed on John Jenkins, while only Sam nailed the Abdullah Anderson to the practice squad move. Outside LinebackersAnother position group that didn’t have a lot of variation. Although there were 2 people who guessed it completely correct. I am not going to name names, but it happened. Inside LinebackersThis is another group that seems to have had close to a consensus. The move that nobody saw coming was Josh Woods to the practice squad. Interesting move here by the Bears. Signing a former college safety that is listed at 205 lbs is a bit interesting. After drafting Roquan Smith and Joel Iyiegbuniwe however, this move seems to line up with the new direction of the team. CornerbacksAfter the top 5 names on this list, this is a huge mess. I removed Deiondre’ Hall due to his trade to the Eagles. Kevin Tolliver II was the biggest surprise here, outside of Cre’Von LeBlanc being cut. Aaron and I both called that one Womens Leonard Floyd Jersey , but we also were of the opinion that it would be in favor of Jonathon Mincy. Patti NAILED the 2 practice squad players here though, so kudos are well deserved. SafetiesThis was pretty clear from the beginning as the Bears only had 5 safeties listed on the roster. Jacob and I both missed on Nick Orr, while Patti had little faith in DeAndre Houston-Carson’s ability to make the roster. SpecialistsAnd you get a perfect score on specialists, and you get a perfect score on specialists,and you get a perfect score on specialists! This is like when Oprah was giving away free cars!! So there you have it. The tallies are in place and we do have a winner. For the second year in a row, Jacob Infante is the winner in the clubhouse. Bringing up the rear, is the “people’s champ,” Lester Wiltfong Jr. The rest of us, well in the immortal words of Ricky Bobby: “if you’re not first, you’re last.” Not sure what needs to happen here with the whole winner and loser thing, but I am sure that the comments section will give us plenty of great ideas! Congrats Jacob and Bear Down WCG!

to do much during his rookie season.Sweat played 68 defensive snaps in nine games before going on injured reserve in December Womens Jason Peters Jersey , so he had a lot of time to learn by watching other players. Two of those players — Michael Bennett and Chris Long — moved on this offseason and Sweat said he’s aware the team will be looking for him to put what he’s learned into action as a result.“It’s implied,” Sweat said, via Philly.com. “I know. I don’t need nobody to tell me. But, yeah Brian Dawkins Jersey , it’s definitely implied. You just feel it in the atmosphere. But I’m ready to live up to it.”Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry are also on hand at defensive end, but the Eagles like to rotate several players through those spots. A step forward for Sweat would ensure that remains an appealing approach in 2019.

Well http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-sidney-jones-jersey , not so much if you’re a Toronto fan. If you’re a Sixers fan, though, it was pretty awesome. A dominant performance from Joel Embiid and company allowed the Sixers to take a 2-1 lead in the series. The energy at the Wells Fargo Center was palpable. Among those in attendance for the Sixers’ big win were a number of Philadelphia Eagles players. Carson Wentz got things started by being one of the Sixers’ three ceremonial bell ringers prior to tip off:Then we saw Zach Erz, Alshon Jeffery Womens Rasul Douglas Jersey , and DeSean Jackson all sitting court-side next to Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, and The Answer himself: Allen Iverson.Love Alshon rocking the Kelly Green hat to match his Randall Cunningham jersey. (We all know Alshon is a big Kelly Green guy.)The attendance list doesn’t end there, though. New Eagles offseason acquisitions Jordan Howard and Malik Jackson were also in the building on Thursday night.Pretty cool to see Eagles players taking a break from their offseason workout program to bond together and show some brotherly love to one of their neighbors. I’m sure the Eagles will continue to have a big presence if the Sixers continue to win. Game four is set for Sunday at 3:30 PM ET.
