Cuba: Obama welcome to visit but not to meddle

Bradley has a record of 12-35 over three seasons with the Jaguars. Spiller, one of the Saints’ high-priced free agent pickups this season, was a healthy inactive.

Tima said the rejection was to blame for Abdullah making the risky boat trip that killed his wife and two young sons. She travelled to Belgium, Germany and Turkey, helping give a voice to those displaced by the war in Syria.
General manager Dave Caldwell has a five-year contract, and his personnel moves have contributed to the team’s struggles.
On the first drive of the game, Brees drove the Saints 80 yards in ten plays for a touchdown. “I want to play for my guys – bottom line”. Jacksonville chose to go right at him, a decision the Saints said wasn’t surprising.
“We have a standard and… we’re always trying to create a new standard”, Bradley said. Are we getting what we are asking? Smart play. As long as, I don’t know, someone doesn’t get caught out of position or something. He has too much talent to go unused. When you see a performance that’s not at that standard or adding on to that standard, it’s unacceptable.
Due to the nature of the injury, the Saints can’t give Brees a cortisone shot to help with the pain, Brees said, but there are tape jobs, orthotics and special cleats available to take the pressure off the arch of his foot.
He talked about the day he hired coach Gus Bradley and has mentioned it repeatedly since. Brees finished 25-of-36 passing for 412 yards, three touchdowns and a 135.4 rating. Brees is very good against the blitz, and if you blitz you’ll get beat some of the time, but he has a bad foot and the Jaguars defense can’t afford to let him get into a rhythm. “That’s something we were talking about early in the year and it’s still kind of lingering here. It needs time to heal and, at the same time, you have to keep it moving so it doesn’t get stiff”.
-One promising development for the Jaguars’ future is the improvement of their two young receivers, Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns.
New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (90) grabs at New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) during the second quarter at MetLife Stadium. After a four yard gain and an offsides penalty, it was second and 21 from their own 29 and Brees hit Brandin Cooks deep for a 71-yard touchdown to make it 14-0.
Robinson had six receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown. He’s also 7th in receiving yards with 1,141.
Individually, Brees is having one of the best seasons of his career. The quarterbacks said they don’t even know themselves.
If Brees is to play against Jacksonville, he’ll have to manage the pain.

Coming off that loss, the Green Wave made quick work of the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (2-8) in a 59-40 victory. “I think a plan was put in place throughout last offseason as to how we were going to build the foundation to make a run at it in the future, and I think that includes new faces, that includes new players that I think will all come together”.
