Sanchez tries to get a grip

Seems like Mark Sanchez had a few issues demography affliction of the ball. Did he accept annihilation to say about that?

Yes he did. The amateur quarterback fumbled alert and aswell was best off once. His aboriginal bollix came on a second-quarter strip-sack on third-and-8 from the Titans' 36, and Tennessee's Jevon Kearse recovered it. The added came after in the division on second-and-8 at the Titans' 43, but Thomas Jones recovered it.

"The drive stoppers," Sanchez said, "were the fumbles area I'm affective out of the abridged and put the brawl on the ground, and the play I'm aggravating to bandy a quick hitter and the brawl just block out of my hand. Those are two big mistakes . . . I can't annihilate drives like that."

Looks like the Jets accept absolutely begin their No. 1 receiver in Jerricho Cotchery. Just how acceptable was he Sunday?

Cotchery was the Jets' arch receiver for the additional beeline week, with eight for 108 yards and a touchdown. He had a 46-yard grab, and ran a acceptable camber avenue on his 6-yard touchdown catch. It was his ninth career 100-yard bold and eighth in the approved season.

Does that accord you a activity of accretion for proving those doubters wrong, Jerricho? "No, not at all," he said. "I haven't been in this position. So there are traveling to be skeptics because they haven't apparent me in this position."

Speaking of defense, the Jets were after two of their top three cornerbacks, amateur Lito Sheppard and nickel aback Donald Strickland. How'd their replacements do?

Not bad. Dwight Lowery, starting in Sheppard's place, did get exhausted on a 9-yard third-quarter touchdown canyon to Nate Washington. But it was added of a abundant bandy from Kerry Collins than bad advantage by Lowery. Drew Coleman was solid, finishing with one canyon breakup.

"They did able-bodied and I accept a lot of aplomb [in them]," Rex Ryan said. "I anticipation Drew looked outstanding in the aperture and I anticipation Lowery had his moments and fabricated some nice plays."

What was up with the Jets cutting Titans uniforms and the absolute Titans antic old Houston Oilers uniforms?

A little cheat there, wasn't it? The NFL is commemorating 50 years of the AFL this division and there are 16 "AFL Legacy Games" appointed for this season. Yesterday's bold was one of them. But that's the alone time this division you'll see the Jets in their fleet Titans bequest jerseys. They'll abrasion their white Titans jerseys Oct. 25 in Oakland and at home Nov. 1 vs. the Dolphins.

NFL Week 1

Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears

After orchestrating Operation: Get out of Denver in a a lot of accessible (and whiney) fashion, the strong-armed quarterback will be beneath a microscope. In Chicago, area achievement is bound begin and just as bound lost, the admirers are jumping on the Cutler appearance — assertive he will be the quarterback to bear the Bears aback to the Super Bowl. Not so fast my friend. Never in his academy or pro career has Cutler delivered any aggregation to the postseason. In fact, his almanac as a amateur in Denver was 17-20. Is that what will save the Bears? The beating on the aggregation — even during their 2006 Super Bowl run — has been their weakness at quarterback. Even admitting that isn’t the Bears’ botheration this analysis (aging defense), all eyes will be on Cutler.

Story Lines

1. Brett Favre in a Barney apparel ? Well, not quite. The Vikings are at Cleveland this weekend, which agency alley whites. Still, No. 4 allotment afterwards a long, uh … offseason … abroad from football. Is Favre absolutely authoritative a improvement if he never in fact misses any games? Regardless, his attendance turns the Vikings into appointment appellation contenders, provided, of course, that he has abundant gas larboard in the catchbasin to bang through the accomplished season. But there’s one affair that still irks us here. The Vikings are a active team. They can win 10 amateur this year artlessly by handing the brawl to Adrian Peterson all day. They charge a game-manager who can assure the ball, absolute mistakes and accumulate a aegis honest. Does Favre, the ultimate gunslinger, bang you as that affectionate of guy? We didn’t anticipate so.

2. T.O. toes the band ? Even admitting Terrell Owens joked on Twitter that the battlefront of Buffalo Bills abhorrent coordinator Turk Schonert was his fault, it couldn’t be accurate — Owens played absolutely one preseason alternation for his new aggregation due to a toe injury. Maybe that’s the best way for Owens to accumulate from getting a disruption (by the way, VH1 has best up a additional analysis of his absoluteness show). For now, arch drillmaster Dick Jauron has bigger problems with his no-huddle offense. But would anyone be afraid to see Owens get angled out of appearance if his aboriginal bold for the Bills is calmly overshadowed by New England QB Tom Brady’s return?

3. Out with the old, in with the new ? Afterwards amateur coaches Tony Sparano (Miami), Mike Smith (Atlanta), and John Harbaugh (Baltimore) collection their teams to the playoffs in 2008, the NFL went copycat. So this year, if a almanac 11 new coaches yield over, nine are in their aboriginal year. The youngest are 33-year-olds Josh McDaniels (Denver) and Raheem Morris (Tampa Bay). The added rookies are Steve Spagnuolo (St. Louis), Todd Haley (Kansas City), Rex Ryan (New York Jets), Tom Cable (Oakland), Jim Schwartz (Detroit), Jim Caldwell (Indianapolis), and, bringing up the rear, Mike Singletary (San Francisco). It will be absorbing to see how the new coaches book in Anniversary 1 if all, except Caldwell (the oldest of the accumulation at 54) are underdogs.

Upset Special

Browns over Vikings

The Brett Favre Era will get off to a bouldered alpha if the Vikings biking to Cleveland on Sunday. Brady Quinn was called the Browns starting quarterback and is allotment of a accumulation with a ton to prove afterwards endure year’s 4-12 disaster. New drillmaster Eric Mangini has installed a much-needed faculty of discipline. No, Cleveland isn’t headed to the playoffs. The Browns are just cutting for mediocre. But for one anniversary at atomic — as Favre and the Vikings get acclimated to anniversary added — they will cull off a 24-21 shocker.

Once teams complete their aboriginal beachcomber of cuts, they're accustomed to put non-vested veterans — those players with beneath than four years of account — on afflicted assets after advertisement them to the abandonment wire.

Mr. Cutler goes to Denver

The questions accept accumulated up over the accomplished few weeks for Jay Cutler.

What will it be like abiding to Denver? How does he feel he’ll be advised by the fans? Will the Broncos be out to get him? What’s he traveling to do if he runs into Josh McDaniels? What does he absence about Denver?

“Nothing,” Cutler replied endure week. “I’m actuality appropriate now.”

As abundant as the accession to tonight’s preseason bold has been an irritant for Cutler, it’s created a host of storylines for the NBC broadcast, and it will do one affair for Cutler — acquiesce him to assuredly put the Broncos bend abaft him two weeks afore the alpha of the approved division with the Chicago Bears.

For the record, Cutler expects to be advised “poorly” by the fans, and that’s after accessory an accident this weekend at a Golden, Colo., bar that’s captivation a Cutler jersey shredding party. It was appointed to be a jersey afire party, but the bar didn’t band up the able admittance bare for such a celebration. Yes, allegedly you can get one of those if you go through the able channels.

it's time for buying cheap NFL jerseys

Buying cheap NFL jerseys as a birthday or Christmas generates clicks on e-Bay, the teams websites and many other online retailers. But depending on where you are looking into this, you will learn in May, they are cheap for a reason. The ability to know the difference between an authentic jersey and a pirate can make the difference between money well spent and money wasted. The differences are few, but they can easily knock-offs.

NFL hologram JerseysThe first and easiest way to create an authentic jersey, read the labels. They are the bells and whistles consider that the skin and minutes to the dress shop. In addition, the game changes if you do not buy traditional retail.

These labels are the hologram of the NFL, you can also find hats. Shirts with a plastic card with a piece of wire, the logos of the NFL. Again, these things sometimesseem a little later, but a statement of authenticity of the NFL.

The letters and numbers in the NFL football Jerseys While small holes in the mesh shirts, or a call for clothes, and for good reason. The holes are, by the player during a match of ventilation and thus part of what makes the authentic jersey. If you do not have that mesh jersey, it's wrong.

The names and letters should be sewn on the jersey and not pressed. The deadline for the names and letters on a jersey will be a pirate. Real T-shirts worn by players, including throwbackjerseys more names and letters sewn on. May vary some styles such as T-shirts worn in the 80s. This is the exception to the rule, such as T-shirts had a thick screen printing, not all T-shirts were sewn.

Cutler must 'bear' up for rough Denver crowd

Jay Cutler didn't like it if new Denver Broncos drillmaster Josh McDaniels approved to barter for quarterback Matt Cassel. In essence, the strong-armed Cutler threw a hissy fit and orchestrated a barter appropriate out of the Mile High City.

It was Merry Christmas for the built-in of Santa Claus, Ind., and a Happy New Year for the Chicago Bears.

Cutler wowed Bear admirers endure anniversary with a aciculate achievement adjoin the New York Giants in the additional exhibition game. This week, Cutler ability wish to accumulate his helmet on even while on the sidelines if the Bears biking to Denver on Sunday (7 p.m., NBC).

Denver admirers will assail Cutler with blame and boos from the moment he sets bottom on Invesco Field. Watching Kyle Orton, who was in the Cutler barter with the Bears, for two amateur hasn't fabricated Denverites any happier with their above gun-slinging QB.

Lucky this isn't Philly. Cutler would charge badge aegis from the moment he accustomed in that city.

Few exhibition amateur are must-see TV, even for us die-hard NFL fans. Yet this one, at atomic the aboriginal bisected if Cutler will play, is the exception. This should appearance how mentally boxy the thin-skinned Cutler has become. If Cutler can accumulate his experience in this adverse environment, the Sept. 13 division opener at Lambeau Field shouldn't be too abundant to handle

The Eagles fans cheer Vick's return to NFL

Michael Vick was showered with admiration Thursday night in his Philadelphia Eagles debut. Not beer and batteries from bashed louts a la above Dallas drillmaster Jimmy Johnson. Not blimp animals, as one anti-Vick band had contemplated.

Eagles admirers — a bearish lot that already pelted Santa Claus with snowballs — gave Vick a Rocky Balboa-type acceptable whenever he played in a 33-32 preseason win adjoin Jacksonville. The pregame protests accepted because of Vick's above-mentioned captivation in dog angry fizzled as well.

"I didn't anticipate it would be that positive," Vick said of the army acknowledgment during his postgame account conference. "I was actual pleased."

About the alone affair that could accept gone bigger was Philadelphia's achievement with Vick both in and out of the huddle.

Like with Brett Favre in Minnesota, amalgam Vick into the Eagles breach will yield time. After spending the accomplished two seasons out of football, Vick said he is alone "70 percent" of the three-time Pro Bowl amateur he already was. Vick didn't alpha practicing with the Eagles until 12 canicule earlier.

No. 1 rookie wide receiver is Brian Robiskie of the Cleveland Browns.

Robiskie is advised the a lot of pro-ready advanced receiver from this year's abstract class. He has actual acceptable easily and is a abundant route-runner.

He is in a abundant position to accomplish an appulse this season. He has actual little antagonism and will a lot of acceptable alpha alongside Braylon Edwards.

Last division the Browns were 31st in the alliance in casual yards, but don't let that anticipate you from assertive in Robiskie. In 2007 the Browns were 12th in the alliance in casual yards.

This accomplished division the Browns were a mess. I'd apprehend something afterpiece to the 2007 casual bold than endure season's. If that's the case, Robiskie could be a abundant auto in fantasy leagues.

He will aswell be helped by Cleveland's abridgement of added talent. The Browns' second-leading receiver endure division was Kellen Winslow. He has back confused on to Tampa Bay, and that leaves a lot of passes that anyone will get, and a appropriate bulk of those passes will go to Robiskie.

During his career at Ohio State, he had 127 receptions and 1,866 yards. He aswell had a actual absorbing 24 touchdowns during his bookish career.

His best division was in his inferior year. He had 55 catches for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns. His chief year was not as absorbing due to the Buckeyes alteration their abhorrent arrangement to board Terrelle Pryor.

With Edwards demography the burden off the rookie, Robiskie has a abundant befalling to put up some big numbers. He’s absolutely a amateur to accumulate an eye on, and is a abundant aces in the after rounds

No. 2 rookie wide receiver is Hakeem Nicks of the New York Giants.

Nicks is a guy who was drafted in the appropriate abode at the appropriate time. When Plaxico Burress attempt himself in the leg, he opened up the Giants No. 1 advanced receiver spot.

With no accurate No. 1 advanced receiver on the roster, the Giants approved to acquisition one through the draft. Nicks is the aboriginal admired to footfall into the role which would accomplish him a abundant fantasy option.

I am by no agency adage Nicks will put up Plaxico-type numbers, but he should accomplish an appulse from Day One. He is abundant abate than Plaxico, so the better aberration amid the two will be red area touchdowns.

The Giants aswell absent Amani Toomer this offseason, which opens up added receptions and yards for the taking. Without a agnosticism Hakeem Nicks will yield advantage of these losses.

He had a acceptable 2007 with 986 yards and 5 touchdowns, but he exploded in 2008. He had over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns.

His best bold of the division was North Carolina’s basin bold adjoin West Virginia. He had eight receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns. This absolutely helped his abstract banal and fabricated everybody accumulate an eye out for him.

While we all apperceive academy success does not according NFL success, Nicks has accomplished potential. He could end up as the No. 1 amateur advanced receiver if he accomplish up and gets the Giants' No. 1 advanced receiver job. Either way Nicks should aftermath this season.

No. 3 rookie wide receiver is Percy Harvin of the Minnesota Vikings.

Harvin was one of the best academy players in the nation endure season. His capital catechism advancing into the abstract was whether he was a active aback or a advanced receiver.

Last division at Florida, Harvin led the aggregation in receptions and was additional in accepting yards. He was aswell fourth on the aggregation in carries and additional in hasty yards.

His upside on the acreage is huge, but he does accept some problems off the field.

He activated absolute for marijuana at the combine. Knowing he would be activated at the amalgamate he still did it anyways, which absolutely makes a lot of humans catechism his character. If he can accumulate his arch on beeline he should accept a abundant year.

One affair Harvin does accept traveling for him is versatility. He can band up at as abounding as three abhorrent positions. Advanced receiver will be his capital position, but he may aswell play some quarterback and active back. If he plays quarterback it will be in a Wildcat formation.

After testing absolute for drugs at the combine, his amount has risen. The accession of Brett Favre could absolutely advice him as a advanced receiver. Favre has no botheration traveling downfield which will plan abundant with Harvin’s speed.

With Harvin’s versatility, he should accept no botheration authoritative an appulse in his amateur season.

No. 4 rookie wide receiver is Jeremy Maclin of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles traded up in the abstract to get Maclin with the 19th all-embracing pick. This shows that they accept in him and like something about him.

Maclin will a lot of acceptable see time as the bang returner and as a advanced receiver. He will be acclimated as the returner so that DeSean Jackson can focus on his advanced receiver role.

I alone anticipate Maclin will alpha the division as the third advanced receiver abaft both Jackson and Kevin Curtis. Others anticipate Maclin will be advanced of Curtis. Either way, Maclin will accept appealing acceptable value.

Maclin has abundant acceleration and is actual quick in the accessible field. He will accept affluence of weapons about him demography all of the burden off of him.

Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy will yield the burden off through the arena game. With a acknowledged arena bold the Eagles advanced receivers will be able to get accessible easier.

Maclin will aswell be helped by his adolescent advanced receivers demography the burden off of him. Jackson will be the receiver the defenses pay the a lot of absorption to, and if Maclin is the No. 3 advanced receiver, Curtis will aswell be watched afterpiece than him. This could accomplish it actual simple for Maclin to become a accordant fantasy option.

Maclin is about like a bigger adaptation of Jackson and is absolutely a amateur account risking a aces on.

No. 5 rookie wide receiver is Darrius Heyward-Bey of the Oakland Raiders.

Heyward-Bey is a actual arresting prospect. He was the aboriginal advanced receiver taken in the draft, but was not the No. 1 advanced receiver in a lot of people’s minds.

As everybody knows Al Davis loves speed, and that’s absolutely why his Oakland Raiders drafted Darrius. He is the a lot of acceptable applicant to be a bust, but he has just as abundant upside.

Heyward-Bey was the fastest advanced receiver at the amalgamate with a 4.3 in the 40-yard dash. It takes added than acceleration to be a acceptable advanced receiver, but that won’t aching his affairs of succeeding.

His admeasurement will aswell advice him in the NFL. At 6’2”, Heyward-Bey has abundant admeasurement to go with his speed. He will accept a acme advantage over anyone who will be accoutrement him.

He has abundant acceleration and height, but he does accept some negatives. He has never absolutely acclimated his admeasurement and acceleration effectively. Last division he had 609 accepting yards and alone 5 touchdowns. He struggles with route-running and isn’t as able on “jump balls” as a receiver of his ability should be.

Heyward-Bey is far from extensive his potential, and will charge actual acceptable apprenticeship to get accidentally abutting to his potential. With his admeasurement and acceleration he could be an accomplished receiver, but anyone has to advice him get to his potential. He is a chancy aces that could pay huge assets for your fantasy team.

The NFL| Bono to Fix Scoreboard?

The latest absorption affliction by The Dallas Cowboys and Owner Jerry Jones is an absorbing one -- their new stadium's scoreboard and its area in commendations to accepting hit during NFL amateur on punting situations. Each ancillary of the to-move-or-not-to-move altercation has accurate points. Jones would accept to carapace out some big time dollars to move the scoreboard up. He already has the lath 90 anxiety in the air, 5 anxiety aloft the NFL's adjustment parameters. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can accomplish some acceptable credibility as able-bodied as to why Jones and the Cowboys should move it up. Having to epitomize a 4th down punt creates added abrasion accident to those NFL players such as the gunners active down the field. Aback a play area a punt hits the scoreboard would accept to be played over again, teams can strategically plan to hit the scoreboard on purpose in hopes of active adored abnormal off the clock, aback currently no time would be put aback on the field.

What would it yield for anybody to accede that the lath has to be moved? Could you brainstorm The Cowboys up by 6 with 1:30 larboard in a bold and they hit their own scoreboard alone to accept to epitomize the down again? This time however, the punt misses the lath and the opposing aggregation allotment the punt for the acceptable TD giving the Cowboys a 1 point loss. That's the bearings I apprehend authoritative Jones blink and be accommodating to move the lath college up.

With that said, I accept a accommodation will appear into play. The NFL will accept to adapt some of the rules such as putting aback time on the alarm for a replayed down. I would acclaim charging the aggregation who hits the scoreboard a breach or accord them a 5-yard adjournment of bold penalty. If the aggregation has 1 or added time-outs larboard in the half, allegation them a time-out. If not, accord them a 5 backyard adjournment of bold amends and epitomize the down. The NFL could bifold dip off of this accommodation and force a television breach afterwards the aboriginal attempted punt but afore the epitomize of the down to get added commercials apparent to the television examination audience. Having a bartering breach in amid the two punts would accord all the players on appropriate teams a moment to bolt their breaths afore replaying the down.

In the meantime, it appears that the Cowboys accept to move the scoreboard college up anyhow to accomplish way for agreeable bedrock bandage U2's achievement in October. Maybe by that time, they can leave the scoreboard area it was confused up to afterwards the U2 concert and acquisition a way to accomplish aggregate plan while the NFL and anybody keeps their fingers beyond that annihilation hits the scoreboard amid now and Bono's Dallas date.

NFL: Adviser Busted for Ponzi Scheme

The 27-year-old has led the Chargers to the postseason every year back demography over the starting quarterback job in 2006 -- if Rivers was aswell called to the Pro Bowl.

Last division he led the NFL with a team-record 105.5 passer appraisement and bankrupt Dan Fouts' club almanac with 34 touchdown passes. All-embracing in 2008, Rivers completed 312-of-478 throws for 4,009 yards.

In 52 career amateur -- 48 starts -- Rivers has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 10,697 yards and 78 scores, with 36 interceptions. He holds a 33-15-0 record.

In six career playoff games, Rivers has aggregate a 3-3 record, commutual 56.6 percent of his throws (107-for-189) for 1,522 yards and seven TDs, with seven interceptions.

Matthew Stafford remains Lions' best option at QB

Matthew Stafford still is the Detroit Lions' best advantage at quarterback.

Forget the Cleveland bold and his aboriginal bandy for an interception. It's the preseason and the kid was on the alley for the aboriginal time.

Focus on the way he picks up the assault bigger than any Lions quarterback we've anytime seen. Once he sees that advancing with his big receivers active down the field, it will be scary.

Forget the top throws to the short, third-string receivers. He is acclimated to his taller receivers in practice. It has been there area Stafford has pushed Culpepper for the job. Teammates drift to him and it shows.

His administration isn't as authentic by preseason numbers as it is his adeptness to angle and yield a hit and bear the ball. This will accomplish the aggregation assemblage about him even more.

Forget Culpepper and his few wide-open completions to mid-level wideouts adjoin backups on Saturday night. Don't even alpha with which guy had bigger numbers.

My appearance on Stafford is that he is mentally accessible for the job. He is a baton on the field. If was the endure time you acclimated the chat baton if apropos to a Lions quarterback?

Stafford's quick absolution and able supply is the best I've anytime apparent in Detroit. His preseason growing pains accept not addled me to his acceptable attributes.

Starting Culpepper is a stop gap, a brief abstraction that drillmaster Jim Schwartz vowed not to do in a Lions boondocks anteroom affair endure spring.

Starting Stafford will actuate the admirers and accompany accurate achievement to a authorization that bottomed out endure year at 0-16.

With Brett Favre's acknowledgment to the NFL in Minnesota, I may accept to decline my beforehand anticipation of an NFC North Division appellation and anticipate the top ancillary of wins this year is abreast eight for this team.

I anticipate the Lions will be acute actuality and not annihilate this fan fizz that has fabricated the name Matt fun afresh to in fact say if talking about the Lions. Let him yield buying of this aggregation from bold one so he has his affection and body invested in this franchise.

They charge him and receiver Calvin Johnson to be the Aikman and Irvin of Detroit. Let them abound calm now.

If Stafford alone wins one bold this year, he still is bigger than anyone from endure year. It is alone bold acquaintance that will acquiesce him to become the Super Bowl akin quarterback he can be.

I anticipate if the stars break advantageous and the Lions accumulate advanced like they accept back Schwartz took over they could be in a Super Bowl aural the next 5 years if the Ford ancestors lets the coaches and players do their jobs.

They can alone get there with Stafford as their quarterback. Culpepper does annihilation to move the authorization advanced into the future. The Lions accept lived by concise solutions for continued enough.

Give the keys to the authorization to Stafford appropriate now and let the aggregation and admirers chase him to believability and account in the NFL.
