Count LSU coach Les Miles among those that would like to see the NFL give college undercla smen more time to decide whether to apply Zach Davies Jersey for early draft eligibility.Miles believes the mid-January deadline doesn't allow enough time for players to make their decisions."What you would like to do is have time with each player, be able to describe his situation," Miles said, . "And if you have 10 guys -- oh my gosh, in the middle of bowl practice -- it's impo sible. So back ( Erick Aybar Jersey the deadline) up. Why make (the decision) in a hurry?"Miles is not alone. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said in January, prior to playing Oregon for the national championship just three days before this year's undercla smen deadline, that he as well. Fernando Tatis Jr. Jersey No undercla smen from Meyer's national championship team applied for early eligibility in 2015.As it is, the deadline is about five weeks prior to the start of the NFL .Miles also said he is in agreement with Alabama coach Nick Saban's suggestion that the Advisory Board not return draft status feedback to undercla smen until after the bowl season. Saban said at SEC Media Days last week that his 2014 undercla smen received feedback around Christmas time, prior to a playoff game against Ohio State, and that the feedback for the game.If the NFL were to take up Saban's suggestion and withhold draft feedback until after all college competition is Dinelson Lamet Jersey complete, it could follow with action on Miles' suggestion, as well. Otherwise, the window between players receiving feedback and the deadline to declare would be smaller than ever. However, this isn't an i sue for many of college football's elite undercla smen. For those players, the decision to turn pro is often made weeks before the deadline.For the prospects with le s certainty about their draft status, the i sues Carlos Asuaje Jersey forwarded by Miles and Saban are highly important.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *.

The fashion in which the Dallas Cowboys lost to the in Week 17 was a microcosm of their season, one that saw them mostly flounder when they could least afford it. Kudos to head coach Mike McCarthy and others for rallying the troops to a three-game win streak that made them relevant in the regular season finale, but the absence of a slew of cornerstone players was simply too much to overcome in the end, and . That said, not all of the decisions made by the Cowboys in 2020 were questionable, particularly when doing an offseason analysis and review of their rookie draft cla s.Some first-timers were as advertised or better, while others came on strong in the end after struggling out of the gate. Others peeked out of the bushes to start the season only to be shoved back into them by the coaching staff, shutting them out until Year 2. All in all, it was another impre sive draft haul for the Cowboys and one that might easily go down as one of the best ever, headlined by two names you might've heard of.I mean, how could you not?Let's dive into the report card for each of the seven draft picks from the 2020 cla s, and break down what they did right, wrong or indifferent, as Dallas looks forward to rebooting in 2021.The Superstars, WR - Oklahoma CeeDee Lamb WR Round 1: 17th-overallLamb wasn't supposed to be available when the went on the clock in the first round. There was no scenario in which Dallas thought he would, having run hundreds of mocks and never once deeming it plausible -- pushing them to prep to pull the trigger on a defensive player in the first round. But when Lamb landed in their lap, they fell over the table to get to the phone and make the call, and he didn't disappoint in his rookie year. Quite the contrary, actually, because Lamb burst onto the scene with under center and despite a carousel of poor and uneven QB play following the lo s of in Week 5, the former Sooner continued to make big plays far more often than not. Showing a willingne s to get his hands dirty as a blocker is something rarely seen in any wideout, let alone a rookie, and Lamb showed he wouldn Martin Perez Jersey 't shy away from taking devastating hits to secure catches over the middle.Yes, Lamb had an i sue with drops while playing with backups (they were not an i sue until after Week 5), but on a team that boasts both and , he finished with 935 receiving yards (as primarily a slot receiver, to boot), five touchdowns and took the franchise record for most single-season catches by a rookie away from the legendary "Bullet" Bob Hayes.The future for Lamb is bright enough to blind the sun.Demerit: Drops2020 grade: A, CB - Alabama DAL CB #7 Round 2: 51st-overallIt turned out to be a fortuitous turn of events on Day 1 of the NFL draft, because while they rightfully scrapped their defensive plan to grab Lamb -- also knowing the would've -- but when they went on the clock with the 51st-overall pick, there was Diggs, a player they had a first-round grade on. The decision to part ways with helped fuel the interest in Diggs, but it was also because of what he brought to the table. A former wide receiver who hawks balls and routinely refines his skills in the offseason against an NFL receiver you might've heard of, his brother Stefon, the younger Diggs is as physical as he is skilled at anticipating routes and the reads of opposing quarterbacks. His first two career interceptions also put his athleticism on full display, and he'd finish with three on the year, but that tally could've been much higher if not for time mi sed due to a broken foot and just narrowly mi sing on a few that could've been takeaways. Diggs did suffer some growing pains, but they were mostly due to attempts at helping out the beleaguered defensive front -- i.e., staring into the backfield at times -- but those are le sons learned that will help him become a premier corner in the league.There were six cornerbacks selected before Diggs, and he reeled in more INTs than all of them combined, while also besting them all in completion percentage when targeted (54.2%), sometimes by a ma sive margin. Lastly, this was achieved despite poor linebacker and safety play -- late-season play by notwithstanding -- further Pedro Martinez Jersey making the case for Diggs' looming NFL dominance. Another jackpot lever pull by the Cowboys.Demerit: Growing pains, injury2020 grade: A-The Becoming:, C - Wisconsin WAS C #63 Round 5: 146th-overallHe didn't win the Rimington Trophy for his good looks, folks. While there were questions on if Biadasz could return to prime form after suffering a shoulder injury at Wisconsin, the Cowboys had no concerns whatsoever. That's why they traded up in the fifth round to grab him, pleasantly surprised he was still available and labeling him the "flashing light" on the board. They even convinced the Philadelphia Eagles to allow them the trade, knowing Biadasz David Price Jersey would be in line to become the succe sor to retired center , whose footsteps the rookie has been attempting to follow in even before he got to North Texas. was serviceable as a bridge player in 2020, and it was Looney's experience that garnered him more playing time under Mike McCarthy than he should've, because when Biadasz finally got onto the field following an injury to Looney -- his skills were on full display. No ramp-up time was needed, with the legendary Badger hitting the ground running at the NFL level before suffering a hamstring injury that cost him games.It's uncertain if he was truly 100 percent healthy in his return, but his overall performance was good enough to , and that's likely the first of many NFL awards heading his way. Expect him to be named full-time starter in 2021, with the Cowboys double-dipping in the Wisconsin pool at center and discovering diamonds on both occasions.Demerit: Injury2020 grade: B+, DT - Oklahoma LAR DT #92 Round 3: 82nd-overallGallimore's talent was never in question, but rather how quickly it'd take him to adjust to the NFL. His progre s was initially stunted by changes occurring within the Cowboys defensive scheme, with Mike Nolan attempting to "overinstall" a new framework despite not having an offseason to actually do so. This put players like Gallimore at a grave disadvantage, seeing as the learning curve for a defensive lineman in the pro ranks is steep as-is, and made that much more so when he's being given items to absorb that even seasons All-Pro and Pro Bowl lineman can't figure out quickly. That would all change once the team lost former second-round pick to injury, which cleared the path for Gallimore to land more playing time, and with more live reps came a more rapid development. His breakout game against the showed what he was capable of, and while he cooled a bit thereafter, he again came on strong to close out the season on the defensive interior.The recipe for Gallimore in 2021 will again be more reps, which he's earned, but it will have to be in the rotation again with Hill and starting nose tackle . The good news is he's proven he's worth more than simply sitting on the inactives list -- much, much more.Demerit: Slow, uneven start2020 grade: C+The Unfortunate:, QB - James Madison BUF QB #11 Round 7: 231st-overallLife isn't fair, and DiNucci got a reminder of it in 2020. Granted, given the state of affairs in the world as a whole during a raging COVID-19 pandemic, things could be considerably worse than being asked to take the field Christian Vazquez Jersey for the Dallas Cowboys as their seventh-round pick. From a football perspective, however, he got thrown to the wolves while wearing a pork chop swimsuit. DiNucci broke records at JMU and is a talented quarterback, but it was clear entering the season he'd need development. There was no time for that with both Dak Prescott and on the sideline though, DiNucci then asked to take the field against the to complete the game and to log his first start the following week against the then-bloodthirsty Philadelphia Eagles defensive front. His lack of refinement was on full display in that game, and his continued attempts at sidearming pa ses didn't result in type highlights, but rather an odd mashup of incompletions that sailed more than Captain Jack Sparrow -- equally as drunk.Seriously, I haven't seen that many sidearms since the last time I played Call of Duty, but those were more accurate.DiNucci's lack of readine s for the big stage forced the club to bring back and sign , the latter proving a much more worthy backup than most, if not all, of the arms behind Prescott. The name of the game for DiNucci this offseason is proving he should escape final roster cuts, because right now -- as talented as he might have been at the collegiate level -- he's on an NFL bubble. Again, he wasn't supposed to be unveiled this soon, but now that he has been, the task at hand is to make his current film age quickly, because it's anything but Gucci ... unle s you're spelling it with two "o's".Demerit: Decision-making, lack of preparedne s2020 grade: FReggie Robinson, II, CB - Tulsa CLE CB #31 Round 4: 123rd-overallExperience, experience, experience. That's what McCarthy wanted more than anything when a se sing who'd start for the Cowboys on a week-to-week basis, and it worked out at times. Other times, it certainly did not, so give kudos to McCarthy for finally unleashing Donovan Wilson at safety and reaping the rewards of that decision, but even that came after continued to flounder as the starter -- something he shouldn't have been in the first place. And so it goes for Robinson that the fourth-round pick tried desperately to get a shot at being evaluated in the defensive backfield in 2020, but was instead relegated to the inactives list for 11 games, and in the five he did participate, he was utilized solely on special teams. So despite Matt Barnes Jersey the poor defensive play of Thompson, a regre sed and injuries to the cornerback unit, McCarthy gave Robinson zero defensive snaps in his rookie season.Entering the league as a lengthy, physical cornerback, the Cowboys moved Robinson to safety and wouldn't even play him there -- for reasons unknown. There was no live-game evaluation done on the former Tulsa standout in his rookie season, save for some special teams snaps that he'd make the most of (including a forced fumble), and he's hoping for better luck in Year 2.Is Robinson going to be a defensive a set or a throwaway in the NFL? It would've been nice to find out in 2020. Because we couldn't, it would be a di service to label Robinson's report card as anything but return to sender.Demerit: Coaching staff decisions2020 grade: Incomplete, DE - Utah ATL DE #47 Round 5: 179th-overallThe boat Robinson is sitting in has two paddles, and it's Anae helping him row. Roundly viewed as one of the biggest steals in the draft, Anae didn't even see the field after Week 8. This led to a rallying cry by fans and analysts alike who wanted to see what Anae could mean for depth at the position in 2021 and beyond, but those calls fell on deaf ears in Dallas. And even when he was allowed to show up on game day, it was almost exclusively in the realm of special teams, finishing his rookie season with only six defensive snaps but 119 special teams snaps between Week 1 and Week 8. Obviously, six snaps on defense is hardly enough to determine if Anae can be a wrecking ball behind and , his brick wall having ultimately been McCarthy's and Jerry Jones' adoration of defensive end .With Smith set to enter unrestricted free agency, and although both sides , if one doesn't materialize, maybe Anae can finally crack the rotation. Nothing indicates he's not good enough to do so, but instead that the Cowboys felt they had a logjam at defensive end, and Anae isn't one who you'd look to flex to the interior of the defensive line. It would've behooved the Cowboys to at least split reps between Anae and Armstrong, considering the latter is also entering a contract year in 2021 and a decision on his future must soon be made.Instead, they'll go into this offseason knowing little more about Anae than they did when they called his phone in April.Demerit: Coaching staff decisions2020 grade: Incomplete

Tottenham Hotspurs Dangerous Attack


By sharonorn, 2025-04-20

You could say Tottenham still havent had the 20+ goal a season they have lacked for YEARS! Last season Tottenham bought Soldado for 26 million from Valencia, But fans feel short changed what happened to the prolific striker who scored 59 goals in 101 games. Has this harmed them getting into champions league?Jermain Defoe Kansas City Royals Jersey could only manage 1 goal in 14 gamesRoberto Soldado 6 goals scored in 28 appearancesEmmanuel Adebayor 11 goals scored in 21 appearancesHarry Kane 3 goals scored in 10 appearancesFact Gareth Bale is the last player to score more than 20+ goals in a season for Tottenham scoring 21 Premier League goals in the 2012-2013 season.This is where the problem lies for Tottenham they havent replaced the 21 goals and thought signing Soldado would get the goals Ian Kennedy Jersey for them, Been a honest man i also believed the same. What this has done as it has many other season previous is cost us our top 4 ,For example in the 2013-2014 season we scored 55 goals conceded 51 leaving us with a goal difference of 4.If you put those goals and a sists onto our season I think it would be a different complexion. We could do with that this year. If we put those goals on the pitch were probably fighting for the title. Tim Sherwood speaking to(Stuart Appleby, The Telegraph,17th April 14)Table shows Tottenham poor goal difference, Compared to other top 6 teams.What do we need in my opinion strikers are not that expensive if you look around Atletico Madrid, Porto and Dortmund have been finding quality strikers for years below I list the fees and stats compared to Soldado.What do we need in my opinion strikers are Alex Gordon Jersey not that expensive if you look around Atletico Madrid, Porto and Dortmund have been finding quality strikers for years below I list the fees and stats compared to Soldado.Adrian Ramos(Dortmund 1st July free transfer) Scored 16 goals in 30 games for Hertha BSC, This record makes things worse hewasnt even playing for a top German Blank Jersey club and has outscored all of our strikers most of his goals coming from inside the box.Jackson Martinez (Porto) Scored 20 goals in 29 league games, 3 goals in 12 appearances came from playing left striker in a 4-3-3Christian Benteke( Aston Villa)Scored 10 goals in 24 appearances and was injured half way in the seasonLuca Toni (Verona) Scored 20 goals in 34 appearancesCiro Immobile ( Dortmund 1st July) scored 22 goals in 28 appearances for Torino (ALL STATS FROM (whoscored.com).Something is wrong when Luca Toni scores more then you at age 37!!!Tottenham need to addre s this the goal difference Tottenham had of +4 was the worse in the top 4, With strikers at the ready in the world cup will Tottenham invest?In a club statement at the end of the season Daniel Levy saidOur focus is to continue to invest in and develop the squad. We shall not look to a summer of major Jason Hammel Jersey upheaval, but rather to strengthen in key positions to play the style of football for which we are famous Daniel Levy ( )So who isavailableand would Tottenham pay the asking rate for a top scorer? Logan Holmes from Fansided reports that Tottenham want Lukaku, He has a decent record scoring

has apologized to the ' organization for his actions during the team's Week 8 lo s to the . Tate, whose verbal demands to get the ball during that game became a national media story, was a healthy scratch for the team's Week 9 win over the Washington Football Team. Tate is questionable for Sunday's game against the after sustaining a knee injury during practice.Tate Tommy Pham Jersey , who is in the middle of a four-year, $37.5 million contract, said that his actions against the Buccaneers were not an attempt to get traded. The 32-year-old receiver added that he plans to honor the remaining two-plus years Steven Souza Jersey of his contract."My actions were unacceptable, and I apologized to the team, the GM, the coaches, the offense," Tate said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. "I'm excited to move forward."When asked to explain his actions, Tate said that he is an emotional player who caught up in the moment. Tate's frustration is born from the fact that he is enduring an underwhelming season as far as statistics are concerned. He's currently fourth on the team in receptions (22), receiving yards (226) and second with two touchdown catches. Tate's frustration is also partly attributed to the Giants' lack of Chaz Roe Jersey succe s. New York is just 6-19 since acquiring Tate, who helped the win a Super Bowl back in 2013. TEN WR #15 TAR29REC22REC YDs226REC TD2FL0While they appear to be on the verge of a fourth consecutive losing season, the Giants, particularly on defense, appear to be heading in the right direction under first-year coach Joe Judge. Through nine games, the Giants' defense is 13th in the NFL in scoring, sixth in rushing, and fourth in red zone efficiency. And while the offense remains a work in progre s, Judge has continued to publicly support second-year quarterback , whose flashes of brilliance this season has oftentimes been overshadowed Chris Archer Jersey by costly turnovers.Speaking of Judge, Tate said he had a productive meeting with his coach after his Week 8 incident. Tate added that, despite his recent actions, he believes that the Giants are building a team that that will have succe s sooner rather than later."I believe in this organization," Tate said. "I believe in where Daniel Robertson Jersey they're heading. I believe in the people that they're bringing in to be a part of this. I'm excited to be a part of it now, and hopefully that I can do my part to get us where we want to be."

The are waiving wide receiver , . Stills had been acquired from the in August of 2019 as JT Riddle Jersey part of the trade for offensive tackle .He will be subject to waivers, which means if another team claims him, they are on the hook for his existing contract. His current contract is scheduled to expire after the season. The waiver order is determined by current win-lo s record. Stills, 28, was scheduled to earn $7 million this season, so he would get a prorated amount from the team that claimed him on waivers. If he clears waivers, he is free to sign with any team of his choosing.The Oklahoma product had been ruled out of the Thanksgiving Day game against Detroit. Stills has 11 receptions for Jarlin Garcia Jersey 144 yards and one touchdown this season. His pace would set career lows in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns by a wide margin.The Texans are 4-7 this season but have won three of their last four games under interim head coach Romeo Crennel.

The team would suddenly have depth in the event of injury.The Patriots are now third in the AFC East with a 4-6 record. Bill Belichick seems resigned to the idea that this season is lost and the addition of Stills is not going to turn them into a Super Bowl contender. His decisions have been predicated on creating salary cap space for long-term flexibility. Unle s Stills clears waivers and signs at a discount, New England Bryan Holaday Jersey might be the least likely option of the five.Since the injury to Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland has lacked a downfield threat. and have proven capable of making a play here and there when called upon but teams are going to start encroaching closer and closer to the line of scrimmage if the Browns are unable to spread the field vertically. The AFC North franchise is clinging to a playoff spot in a hotly contested AFC race. Cleveland hangs their hat on running the football but can ill afford becoming overly one-dimensional. Nick Wittgren Jersey Baltimore, like New Orleans, has been making every move nece sary to improve in 2020 at the expense of future succe s. They traded for and signed . , who has publicly complained about his lack of involvement, leads all Ravens wide receivers with 32 receptions. Tight end has as many touchdowns (6) as every wide receiver on the roster combined. It would not be a surprise to see Baltimore take a flyer on Stills in the hopes that he rejuvenates the offense.Washington Football TeamThe final spot came down to three teams: Miami, Philadelphia and Washington Corey Dickerson Jersey . The Dolphins were excluded because of how things ended between Stills and Miami a little more than a year ago. has earned inclusion in a conversation of the league's top wide receivers. Similar to Green Bay, there has been zero reliable production elsewhere at the wide receiver position. Running back J.D. McKi sic is No. 2 on the team in receptions and receiving yards.

Wigan Athletic managed to perform probably the comeback of the season today at the DW Stadium as they came back from 2-0 down with ten minutes to go to win 3-2 against a lethargic Arsenal side. Kolby Allard Jersey Dave Whelan and Roberto Martinez, the Wigan Chairman and manager respectively, looked as though they could hardly believe it themselves as referee Lee Mason blew the full time whistle, and as the Lactics claimed three points which could prove invaluable in the relegation run-in.Arsne Wenger on the other hand, was left seething after watching his team blow their already slim title hopes after being in complete control of the encounter, and described the result has Arsenals most disappointing of the season.Wenger has much to think about afteranotherdevestating defeatArsenal had taken a two goal lead thanks to strikes from Theo Walcott and Mikael Silvestre, but late efforts first from Ben Watson, and later Titus Bramble and finally Charles NZogbia.The Gunners also looked completely in control of proceedings and could have had more goals, as Abou Diaby and Walcott both mi sed openings with only Chris Kirkland, the Wigan goalkeeper, to beat. Walcott also flashed a well-struck effort just past the far post towards the end of the first half, and Sol Campbell couldnt direct his header in from Walcotts free kick.However, Wengers side failed to expel the common criticism of them that they cant see out victories when they need to by not closing out the match despite their dominance in po se sion, and they failed to take heed of the warning shot from Wigan. NZogbia was sent clean through on Arsenal keeper Lukasz Fabianski, but his weak Cole Hamels Jersey finish made for a comfortable save for the Polish keeper, who celebrated his 25th birthday today.Wengers side started slowly, but as the first half wore on they began to a sert their dominance but couldnt find many gaps in a stubborn Wigan defence. The first was from an excellent Diaby through ball played in behind Manuel Figueroa for Walcott who found himself with only Kirkland to beat, but opted instead to try and cut the ball back for a teammate when there were no obvious options open to him.The young England winger made up for this towards the end of the first half though, as a fine pa s from Dane Nicklas Bendtner slit open the Lactics defence for the 21 year old Walcott to slide past the onrushing Kirkland for only in second Mike Minor Jersey goal in his previous 19 games for Arsenal, in what has been a season of frustration for him.Theo Walcott gives Arsenal their first half goal at the DW Stadium.The second period started at a much more frenetic pace, with Ben Watson having a penalty claim turned down by Mason, and Arsenal, almost immediately, going up the other end to double their lead.A simple goal, the corner was whipped into the Wigan area by Samir Nasri for veteran defender Silvestre to nod in his first goal for Arsenal since the corresponding fixture last season.Following the second goal, the game became slower as both sides clearly thought the result was now beyond doubt, as did the crowd, as the noise levels were not boisterous.Martinez obviously disagreed, as he threw caution to the winds and brought on January signing Victor Moses, who added a spark to Wigans attacks to start the comeback going.The entire complexion of the match was changed when Moses galloped down the left wing to cut the ball back for Watson to score his first goal of the season on his first start; suddenly the DW Stadium sensed there might be something here for them.Ben Watson starts the comebackThe goal also seemed to rock Arsenal, who could no longer hold on to the ball, and inviting more pre sure on themselves, leading to the evitable equaliser with two minutes on the clock.A corner was swung in by NZogbia, and Fabianski failed to gather the ball convincingly, managing only to Joey Gallo Jersey set it for centre-back Bramble to tap in to draw his side level.Clearly shocked by what he was seeing, Wenger sent on star-striker Robin van Persie to try and rescue all three points for the Gunners, but the Dutchman didnt touch the ball in the remaining few minutes as Wigan now had the momentum and pushed forward to claim the most unlikely of victories, through a goal fit to win any game.Deep into stoppage time, Gael Clichy fail to deal with an ariel ball which instead fell for the left foot of NZogbia, who drove towards the Arsenal goal diagonally from the right wing on to his favoured left foot. Campbell and Silvestre surrounded the young Frenchman, who wasnt put off by the pre sure on his shoulders, and proceeded to evade the defenders before arrowing a fizzing drive off his left boot into the Arsenal goal off the post.Diame and Bramble celebrate their win in front of a dejected Emmanuel Eboue.The win left Wigan Emmanuel Clase Jersey in an excellent position, and favourites to stay in the Premier League now, but left Arsenals title ambitions very much in tatters, with the Gunners faithful having again to look forward to next season.WIGAN3 (Watson 80, Bramble 89, NZogbia 90+1)Team: Kirkland, Gohouri, Bramble, Melchiot, Figueroa, Watson (Scharner 90+2), NZogbia, McCarthy, Diame, Moreno (Moses 62), RodallegaUnused Subs: Stojkovic, Boyce, Gomez, Sinclair, ScotlandBooked: Bramble, DiameARSENAL2 (Walcott 41, Silvestre 48)Team: Fabianski, Sagna, Campbell, Silvestre, Clichy, Eastmond (van Persie 90), Rosicky (Merida 81), Diaby, Walcott (Eboue 81), Nasri,BendtnerUnused Subs: Mannone, Traore, Henderson, VelaBooked: Nasri

Ameer Abdullah had some compelling insights Wednesday on the . He shared his thoughts about the way the running back position has come to be devalued in the NFL, the NFL player he most tries to emulate, and more. But as the podcast hosts learned, the Nebraska star rusher can change direction in conversation as impre sively as he does in slicing through Big Ten defenses.And two days before Halloween, Abdullah's thoughts were also racing to end times."I'm a weird individual, I go by the beat of my own drum. I'm Kevin Gausman Jersey not stocking like up guns or anything. But it's cro sed my mind, I'm pretty sure at some point potentially, there could be a zombie apocalypse," Abdullah said in response to a question from NFL Media's Matt "Money" Smith regarding previous reports of his supposed zombie Dan Straily Jersey fear. "Me and my friend Kenny Bell who goes here as well, we stock up on Gatorades in fall camp, crackers, bread. His house is like our bunker. We're going to board it up when it happens and just fight them from the inside out."If he goes through them anything like tacklers, the zombie body count will run high. The senior has rushed for more than 200 yards in four games this season, and has scored at least one touchdown in every game. A few of the more grounded highlights from Abdullah's spectacular interview with Smith and NFL Media analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks, which :* On the devaluation of running backs in the NFL draft:"I feel like a good case of it was last weekend if you watched the game. Every football fan knows the ' offense is led by a prolific pa sing game, which is led by , , add in , obviously . But , a guy who won the Heisman at Alabama, he really stole the Craig Gentry Jersey show last Sunday for them. The running back still has a very key role. If they want to say it's devalued or whatever term they want to use now, I feel like it's very important to establish the running game. If you don't have a solid running back who can do that, then your offense is going to be lacking. You can't just throw the ball the whole time."* On why former star Warrick Dunn is the player he tries to emulate: **"Being able to bounce back from rough moments, Frank Robinson Jersey that's the kind of person he was. He never was too caught up into the hype, the glam. ... We are very similar-sized, 5-9, 200 pounds, and he made it work, he was a heck of a back in the league."* On how he calms hot-tempered coach Bo Pelini on the sideline:"What I do just to calm Bo down on the sideline is tell him to just take a deep breath and soak it all in.

Representatives from three NFL teams -- including a Kevin Newman Jersey linebackers coach from the -- were present for North Dakota State's pro day on March 26, when seven Bison players and additional prospects from area small colleges worked out.The featured three prospects of note.Outside linebacker (6-foot-4 1/2, 254 pounds) played defensive end at North Dakota State, but is better suited to play strong-side linebacker at the next level.
