Browns see Wentz’s ‘slow release’ as an advantage

“It was exciting obviously to get that win finally and just sort of the excitement that the guys felt walking off of that field, because I remember, too, that team that year was decimated with injury and there were a lot of new faces in Cleveland”. But he’s confident he’s ready for it.

They offered the Philadelphia Eagles a 2017 first round draft pick and a 2018 fourth round pick (which could go as high as a second) in exchange for Bradford. “But I didn’t feel overwhelmed or anything”.

A minor interruption, especially when you compare it to, say, losing your starting quarterback eight days before the start of the season.

“We have to make judgments on the individual players and we’re not always going to be right”, DePodesta said. I’ll be really excited.

Doug Pederson prepares for his first National Football League regular season game and you can say he’s been handed quite a series of challenges very early in his tenure.

“We drafted him to take on the reins”, Pederson said. We have to be smart in how we handle it. “We fully expect him to perform like he’s capable of performing from what we’ve seen throughout the OTAs and training camp”.

Wentz has not played since week one of the preseason in which he suffered a hairline rib fracture that sidelined him the final three games of the preseason.

“Would the ideal situation be later than sooner?”

Now he’ll be under center against the team that traded down in the draft instead of staying put and selecting him. Roseman said the offer was just too good to say no to, even if it nearly certainly weakens his team in the short term.

While we’re not scolding anyone for being honest – the comments from Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta and Nassib are refreshing and honest evaluations, which we rarely see anymore – the pair had better hope they are right.

The Super Bowl showdown was with the Houston Texans, another team breaking in a new QB in Brock Osweiler.

“That’s just the type of person, the type of quarterback we have”, Pederson said. “All the pieces are here for him to be successful and us to win some games”. “They were excited for Carson”. “The biggest thing for any quarterback, particularly a rookie quarterback, in the first game is how well you can control your emotions early in the football game and the nervousness and all of that and just kind of settle into the football game”. That’s fine. We’re going to get behind that and roll with it. TJ Jones, Jace Billingsley, and Isaac Fruechte will all be available for promotion and the fact that Detroit doesn’t even have three defensive players on the practice squad shows the Lions know they may need an additional body or two throughout the season at the receiver position. “They’ve embraced it and support it 100 percent”. Twenty-two of the 23 came against other Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) teams. Five years ago, when he was the head coach of the Raiders, Jackson encouraged his front office to trade a first- and second- round pick for Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who was threatening to retire rather than return to Cincinnati (that didn’t end well).
