Cowboys Lose Two Starting Cornerbacks In Free Agency To The Ravens, Jets

... Carr, Church, Wilcox and Claiborne, the Cowboys have to replace 2,679 snaps from 2016. — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) March 16, 2017. According to Pro Football Focus, Carr led the Cowboys’ defense in snaps with 1,103. Claiborne was on the field for only 406 snaps, but that was due to the fact that he missed more than half the season with injuries. As for Carr’s actual level of play when he was on the field, well, let’s just say that the Cowboys really aren’t losing too much. He might’ve been durable, but he also allowed a 101.0 passer rating in coverage last year, per PFF. He was targeted 99 times and allowed 60 receptions for 850 yards and five touchdowns. He snagged just one interception. Meanwhile, Claiborne actually performed well, despite his lengthy absence from the field. According to PFF, he was targeted 54 times in coverage, allowing 28 receptions for 250 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, which comes out to a 63.0 passer rating for opposing quarterbacks. But the former first-round pick simply can’t stay on the field. As ESPN’s Rich ...

I'm Going To Do My Best Marshawn Lynch Impression For Seahawks

... Lacy weighed 267. Listed last year at 234. — Bob Mc Ginn (@Bob Mc Ginn) March 14, 2017. Lacy knows he has doubters and that, he says, motivates him. “I’m very motivated to prove myself,” he said, via the team’s website. “I know what I’m able to do, but I just want to go out and show everybody that I can do it and will do it. I just can’t wait to get my chance.”. Lacy added: “[I] just want to come out and showcase what I can do, prove that I’m not a fluke, that I can do what I do and do it really well.”. The Seahawks, who sported one of the league’s best rushing attacks when Lynch was in the backfield, had a nonexistent running game last season. According to Football Outsiders ’ metrics, Seattle ranked 23 rd in rushing. From 2012-15 - coinciding with Russell Wilson’s arrival and years after Lynch became a ...

Did Deshaun Watson Or Mike Williams Change Any Minds At Clemson Pro Day

... : 4.63 40 dash (4.60 at the Combine) and 10-4 broad jump (9-11 at the Combine). Penn State Nittany Lions. The main attraction at Penn State’s pro day was wide receiver Chris Godwin , who met with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles after the workout. He impressed at the Combine with his testing numbers and didn’t run again on campus, but he did run routes and catch the ball, looking good during positional drills. In Indianapolis, Godwin ranked among the top performers in the 40 (4.42), 10-yard split (1.54), vertical (36 inches), broad jump (10-6) and short shuttle (4.00). Pass rusher Garrett Sickels improved his numbers in several areas, including the 40 (4.81; 4.90 at the Combine) and vertical (33 inches; 28 at the Combine). Linebacker Brandon Bell , who wasn’t invited to the Combine, ran his 40 in 4.68 seconds at 6-foot-1 and 229 pounds. He also recorded a 32-inch vertical, 9-6 broad jump, 4.32 short ...

Kansas' Josh Jackson Made Threats Against Women's Basketball Player

... why his daughter was punished by her coach but Jackson was not punished by his. On page 7 of the affidavit, Calvert alleges Jackson “was yelling for her to get out of the car and that he would beat her a-.”. The incident is tied to Jackson damaging Calvert’s car the night of Dec. 9 in Lawrence after a heated incident between Calvert and her ex-boyfriend, Kansas player Lagereald Vick. Vick allegedly physically abused Calvert in December of 2015. Calvert threw a drink on Vick and left a bar this past December. The affidavit reads that Jackson followed Calvert to her car, and she eventually locked herself in the vehicle. That is when Jackson allegedly began damaging the vehicle and made the threat. Jackson was charged with misdemeanor property damage in February. Jackson was suspended for the start of the Big 12 tournament by coach Bill Self, but the incident was related to a fender-bender by Jackson in February that he did not tell Self about for nearly a month. Kansas is the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and plays Friday night against UC Davis. Jackson is scheduled to play in that ...

Despite Disappointing Season, Knicks Coach Jeff Hornacek's Job Is Reportedly Safe

... team president, Jackson has had four head coaches and, though this club was built to win now, there’s no plan for a fifth head coach this summer. The Knicks fell out of the playoff race in early March and take a pitiful 27-41 record — the league’s seventh-worst — into Thursday’s Garden rematch against the Nets. When Jackson fired Derek Fisher in February 2016, during the coach’s second season, it was not because of a poor win-loss record. Sources insist Fisher was dismissed because of his lack of communication with Jackson, failing to respond to Jackson’s emails promptly and a passive-aggressive resistance to Jackson being involved with coaching aspects. Hornacek, according to an NBA source, gets high grades on both counts — maintaining a strong rapport with Jackson and associate head coach Kurt Rambis, Jackson’s longtime compatriot. If Jackson should have promoted then-interim Rambis as coach last spring, it’s too late now. Though owner James Dolan has given Jackson carte blanche, Jackson would look awful ...

Northwestern Gets First Ncaa Tourney Win After Vanderbilt Foul Blunder

... and fouled Northwestern’s Bryant Mc Intosh. Northwestern was in the double-bonus, so Mc Intosh went to the line, made both free throws, and Northwestern took the lead. This came after Vandy stormed back from a late deficit to grab the lead. This was the best game of the afternoon session, and the way it ended will be remembered for a long time in Nashville and Evanston - and points beyond. A stunning play. You almost never see this. How can you not feel a little sick for Fisher-Davis? He immediately realized he made a mistake. Matthew Fisher-Davis accidentally committed an intentional foul that cost Vandy the game. __link__/n QVp 9 T 444 E. — SLAM Magazine (@SLAMonline) March 16, 2017. Vanderbilt failed to get a good shot on the ensuing play, a way-too-long 3-pointer by Riley La Chance. Vanderbilt lost its bearings in the final 15 seconds. The foul by Fisher-Davis was inexplicable, and the 3-point prayer by La Chance prevented the Commodores from getting a better shot closer to the rim. A terrific game was blemished at the end by two bad plays. Ironically, this comes from a team coached by Bryce Drew, who ...

2017 March Madness Bracket Predictions

... with Arizona winning it all, giving Sean Miller that national championship we’ve all seen coming for years. Dennis Dodd. The Pac-12 has image problems. It’s games are on too late. There are more confirmed UFO sightings than folks who watch the Pac-12 Network. But after an at-times turbulent season the Wildcats are fully loaded for a deep tournament. They have just about everything you need to be complete. Post Lauri Markkanen is a lottery pick. The backcourt is veteran with Kadeem Allen and leading scorer Allonzo Trier. Sean Miller and the Wildcats have a lot to make up for after a first-round loss to Wichita State. The previous three years Arizona at least reached the Sweet 16. This is a national program with an elite coach, Sean Miller. There’s nothing wrong with going with the hot team. The Wildcats tied for the Pac-12 title and won the conference tournament. And you probably weren’t able to stay up late enough to watch much of it. Kyle Boone. North Carolina has advanced to at least the Elite 8 each time it has ...

Grades For Thursday's First-round Winners; Nova B

... over (9) Vanderbilt. No one had a better day than Northwestern, adding to the memorable run of this first-ever NCAA Tournament by holding on in a two-point thriller. The house was packed with purple-clad Wildcats fans who had made the trip into town, and Bryant Mc Intosh was dialed in (25 points on 16 attempts). There pressure of making the tournament is gone, now Chris Collins has them playing loose and they could be a handful for Gonzaga on Saturday. (5) Notre Dame Fighting Irish: C+. 60-58 over (12) Princeton. Notre Dame didn’t have a good rhythm on offense, and it allowed Princeton to hang around long enough to get a great look at burying the Irish with three-pointer in the final seconds. Bonzie Colson got 18 points, seven rebounds and a pair of blocks, but he’s about to run into a much tougher front line with West Virginia in the second round. Mike Brey praised his team’s defense after the game, but offense is what’s gotten them to the Elite Eight each of the last two years and they’ll need a better performance on that end to get back in 2017. (4) West Virginia Mountaineers: ...

Browns Take Myles Garrett, Trade 4 Picks To Pats For Garoppolo

... send. 2017 1 st round pick (No. 12 overall). 2017 2 nd round pick (No. 33 overall). 2017 2 nd round pick (No. 52 overall). 2018 2 nd round pick (TBD, Cleveland’s original). Patriots send. QB Jimmy Garoppolo. For a minute I thought about including another first-round pick or having the Patriots send a third-round pick back. But New England isn’t giving up any picks in this deal. And I don’t think the Browns want to risk sacrificing the No. 1 overall selection in 2018, a very reasonable situation if they are once again terrible in 2017. That deal is basically three-first round picks, with Cleveland’s No. 12 being the prize jewel and two of the other second-round picks coming (likely) in the early 30’s. And it’s a reasonable deal. The value of those picks adds up to 52.2 AV value in Chase Stuart’s draft value chart and 2,710 points in the Jimmy Johnson traditional trade value chart. That’s the equivalent of ...

Investigation Into Jose Fernandez Crash Concludes He Was Driving Boat, Intoxicated

... body also lurched forward upon impact, with his legs hitting the center console, according to the FWC report.”. As well, the investigation confirmed that Fernandez had alcohol in his system. Specifically, he registered a blood ethanol rate of between.14 and.16 - or roughly twice the legal limit. The three men prior to the crash had been at American Social, a Miami gastropub, and had reportedly purchased alcohol while there, including, reportedly, two bottles of Don Julio tequila and three alcoholic beverages to take with them when they departed in the boat. Eighteen minutes after leaving American Social, the fatal crash occurred. As well, the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office report revealed that Fernandez and Rivero each had cocaine in his system. To sum up, the report concludes ( via Mike Clary of the South Florida ...
