Draft Stock Gains on Strong Ground

Draft Stock Gains on Strong Ground

Games One makes Youth Jay Ajayi Jersey , the other breaks. Big performances in the running game earned these two college players featured spots in this week’s player awards. Miami defensive tackle Gerald Willis was fundamental in the Hurricanes big win over Florida State. A few hundred miles North, Darrell Henderson was scoring touchdown after touchdown in Memphis’ blowout win over UConn. Gerald Willis’ path to being a top player for Miami has been tumultuous to say the least. The Louisiana native started his college career by being dismissed by University of Florida and transferring to Miami. In 2016, Willis had MCL surgery that caused him to miss half of the season and he went on to miss all of 2017. Now, back and healthy, Willis has wracked up a mindboggling 12.5 TFLs and two sacks through six games. His performance against Florida State was that of a dominant run defender. The stout http://www.authenticsphiladelphiaeagles.com/cheap-stefen-wisniewski-jersey , 6’4”, 300 pounder was an absolute force on running downs and though he is hardly a standout pass rusher; his elite run defense will garner a lot of NFL notice. The nation’s leading rusher was back doing what he does best against the UConn Huskies on Saturday. Despite only carrying the ball 14 times, Henderson picked up over 170 yards and three scores. The junior running back is now approaching 1,000 rushing yards on the season on only 79 carries. Yep! Despite carrying the ball less than 80 times, Henderson has scored 12 touchdowns on the ground and is averaging a ridiculous 11.8 yards per carry through six games. For good measure Youth Nelson Agholor Jersey , Henderson is also averaging 19.8 yards per catch on nine carries and has scored two more touchdowns through the air this year. Henderson is the clear-cut weapon on offense for the Tigers and he should continue producing for the rest of the year. People will question the 5’9”, 200-pound back’s size, but it will be hard to question his effectiveness or playmaking ability. The Carolina Panthers move to 3-2 after botching a late game comeback against the Washington Redskins’, who move to 3-2. It wasn’t just the final drive that went south for the Eagles’ next opponent; things got off to a rocky start after their sloppy play against the New York Giants’ leaked into the first half of the game.Three turnovers, including two lost fumbles from rookie wide receiver DJ Moore and an arm punt interception from Cam Newton led to the Panthers going down 17-0. Despite his anemic first half averaging 4.8 yards per attempt http://www.authenticsphiladelphiaeagles.com/cheap-brandon-brooks-jersey , Redskins’ quarterback Alex Smith did enough to rack up a three-score lead, including this 22-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vernon Davis.Going down early neutralized what the the Panthers do best on offense, run the ball. Christian McCaffrey wouldn’t see carries from the stretch between the opening drive and the end of the 2nd half. On the day he would carry the ball just 8 times for 20 yards and contributed more as a receiver (7-46-0).Coaching also played a role in the Panthers’ struggles. An early decision to not go for it on 4th & 1 from their own 47-yard line led to a touchback, while the Redskins would prove more aggressive in a similar situation and be rewarded.Down 17-6 and inside the two minute warning, the Panthers got ultra-conservative and ended up giving the Redskins back the ball on within 33 yards of their end zone. They were bailed out by an intentional grounding penalty by Alex Smith Youth Dallas Goedert Jersey , but the mindset shown by the Panthers’ coach, dubbed “Riverboat Ron”, was the antithesis for which the nickname stands.The Panthers’ offense and defense would clean things up in the second half. Newton took over with his arm and his legs and dragged the Panthers back to a one-score game with a touchdown pass to Torrey Smith (shown below) and subsequent 2-point conversion. They took a page out of the Indianapolis Colts’ playbook by attacking the Redskins defense with mesh and bunch rub concepts at the end of the drive with excellent results.An untimely facemask call on defensive tackle Vernon Butler, followed by 12 and 10-yard runs by Adrian Peterson would set up a field goal to put the game at 23-17 with 3:11 remaining in the game.Newton’s hot hand continued to heat up on the potential game-winning drive. Marching 68 yards down the field, the Panthers were set up with 2nd & 5 from the Redskins 16-yard line.The result? Miss. Miss. Miss.It’s an unfortunate end for a quarterback that has been criticized for his accuracy issues http://www.authenticsphiladelphiaeagles.com/cheap-lane-johnson-jersey , to varying degrees of correctness, throughout his career. The loss will land on his shoulders, but the coaching staff and early fumbles from Moore also deserve a good deal of the blame. Two straight weeks of sloppy football after a bye is a bad sign for the Panthers even with their plus-.500 record.
