주술회전 243화 번역 익숙하지 않다면 명예의 전당 쿼터백은 Cleveland Browns를 8번의 챔피언십 중 7번(구 AAFC에서는 1946년부터 1949년까지 4번)으로 이끌���고 2019년에도 챔피언십 경기에 진출하는 데 실패하지 않았습니다. 그의 10개 프로 시즌은 모두 AAFC와 NFL로 나누어졌습니다.

지금 그 사람만 있었다면.

수요일 아침에는 현재 브라운스 쿼터백 Deshaun Watson이 MRI를 통해 이미 부딪힌 어깨의 관절와에 전위된 골절이 발생한 것으로 밝혀진 후 시즌을 떠났다는 소식이 전해졌습니다. 그는 또한 일요일 AFC 북쪽 선두 볼티모어 레이븐스를 상대로 획기적인 33-31 승리를 거둔 것처럼 보였던 경기에서 높은 발목 염좌를 겪었습니다.

브라운스는 성명을 통해 "높은 수준의 경기력을 보이고 경기를 마무리했음에도 불구하고 이번 부상은 추가적인 구조적 손상을 피하기 위해 즉각적인 수술적 치료가 필요하다고 판단됐다"고 밝혔다. 데션은 시즌 종료 부상 예비군에 배치될 예정이며 2024년 시즌이 시작되면 완전한 회복이 예상됩니다.”

주술회전 243화 번역 STATS CENTRAL: 최신 NFL 점수, 일정, 확률, 통계 등을 확인하세요. 클리블랜드 팬들이 갖고 있던 희망이 너무 많아서 그들의 팀이 슈퍼선데이에 도달한 적이 없는 4개의 NFL 팀 중 하나인 브라운스의 슈퍼볼에 진출할 수 있는 위치에 있었습니다. 1999년 프랜차이즈가 재개된 이후 클리블랜드의 최고 기록과 일치하는 6승 3패 기록에도 불구하고, 이 팀은 이제 기본적으로 자체적인 잘못으로 인해 물속에 빠졌습니다.

Watson에 대해 원하는 것과 5년 동안 2억 3천만 달러를 보장하는 계약 소유자 Jimmy Haslam이 휴스턴에서의 더러운 역사를 고려할 때 프랜차이즈의 얼굴로서 많은 팬들이 단호히 원하지 않는 사람에게 수여한 어리석은 일에 대해 말해보세요. 그러나 왓슨이 11경기 출장 정지에서 복귀한 후 2022년 고르지 못한 플레이는 불펜에서 좋은 어깨를 갖기에 충분한 위험 신호였어야 했습니다.

아이러니하게도 브라운 부부는 이 점을 아주 잘 이해하고 있는 것 같았습니다.

QB Deshaun Watson과 Joshua Dobbs(15)는 2023년에 잠시 Browns 팀 동료였습니다. 당신은 아마도 NFL 방랑자로 남아있는 "Passtronaut"인 Joshua Dobbs에 대해 잘 알고 있을 것입니다. 그는 QB1으로 어딘가에 기회를 얻기 위해 3년 동안 4천만 달러를 투자할 가치가 있는 사례를 만들었습니다. 7년차 수의사인 ICYMI는 2022년 시즌이 끝날 무렵 테네시 타이탄스를 AFC 사우스 왕관으로 이끌며 첫 NFL 선발 출전을 기록했습니다. 올해 Dobbs는 애리조나 카디널스를 토마토 캔으로 인식되던 클럽에서 Kyler Murray의 ACL 회복 동안 필사적으로 싸울 수 있는 형편없는 클럽으로 만들었습니다. 3주차에 Dobbs and Co.에 의해 28-16시간 동안 트럭으로 운송되었던 Dallas Cowboys에게 물어보세요. 물론 이제 트레이드 마감일에 카디널스가 딜한 Dobbs는 커크 커즌스의 시즌 종료 아킬레스 부상의 여파로 급증하는 미네소타 바이킹스에 새 생명을 불어넣었습니다.

주술회전 243화 번역 3월에 Dobbs와 1년 200만 달러 계약을 체결한 것은 Browns였습니다. 5개월 후, 그들은 프리시즌 동안 신인 도리안 톰슨-로빈슨과 사랑에 빠진 후 기본적으로 5라운드 픽을 위해 그를 애리조나로 보냈습니다.

주술회전 243화 번역 여기 있습니다.

"DTR"은 그의 유일한 시작 기회인 4주 차 레이븐스에게 28-3으로 패한 3차 인터셉트 성능에서 너무 끔찍했기 때문에 클리블랜드는 즉시 숙련공 P.J. 워커를 QB2로 선택했습니다. 그는 Thompson-Robinson보다 약간 더 나을 뿐입니다. 브라운스는 왓슨이 선발 출전하지 않은 경기에서 1승 2패를 기록했고, 이번 시즌 신체적 한계에도 불구하고 그가 선발 라인업에 있을 때는 5승 1패를 기록했다. 이는 Pro Bowl 테일백 Nick Chubb가 2주차 시즌 종료 무릎 부상으로 패배한 캠페인 기간에도 클리블랜드가 상승한 주된 이유인 NFL의 최고 수비력에 대한 증거입니다. 그리고 Myles Garrett과 그의 파괴자들은 아마도 하지만 이 명단의 나머지 부분을 포스트 시즌으로 가져갈 만큼 충분히 불쾌합니다. 아마도.

하지만 Dobbs가 플랜 B QB로 남아 있었다고 상상해보세요. 아니면 Watson이 얼마나 제한적인지 알고 있던 Browns가 Los Angeles Rams를 Carson Wentz에게 꺾었다면 어떨까요? 아니면 현재 클리블랜드 코치인 Kevin Stefanski를 쿼터백 코치로 두고 미네소타를 2017 NFC 챔피언십 경기로 이끌었던 3현 쿼터백 Case Keenum에 대해 Houston Texans에게 물어봤다면 어떨까요?

Stefanski는 수요일 오후에 Thompson-Robinson으로 돌아갈 것이라고 발표했습니다. 이것이 그의 두 가지 실행 가능한 옵션 중 하나라는 점을 고려하면 별로 놀랄 일이 아닙니다. (행운을 빌어���, DTR. 처음에는 Ravens의 먹이가 되었고 이제는 주술회전 243화 번역 Pittsburgh Steelers가 Cleveland를 침공할 때 T.J. Watt and Co.의 먹이가 됩니다.)

Hindsight는 틀림없이 명확성을 제공하지만 수요일 Watson 발표 이전에 Browns가 초대한 위험을 누구나 볼 수 있었습니다. 그리고 새로운 프론트 오피스가 자리를 잡는 동안 이것은 지난 25년 동안 Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden,주술회전 243화 번역 Johnny Manziel, Baker Mayfield 등 많은 다른 사람들을 괴롭히던 동일한 조직입니다. 이제 Stefanski와 GM Andrew Berry는 전 브라운 콜트 맥코이(Brown Colt McCoy), 조 플라코(Joe Flacco), 체이스 다니엘(Chase Daniel) 같은 선수들에게 전화를 걸거나 심지어 비공식적인 입장을 취할 수도 있습니다.

Deshaun Watson calmly delivered a strike Saturday night to Bruce Ellington, serving notice that his arm and his surgically repaired right knee are ready for the rigors of the NFL regular season.

The Texans’ dynamic quarterback looked sharp against the San Francisco 49ers during a 16-13 victory at NRG Stadium in his most extensive action of the preseason.

Watson connected with Ellington on a quick 1-yard slant pass for a touchdown on fourth down to engineer an 11-play, 79-yard scoring drive during the first quarter. On the touchdown pass, Watson threaded it to Ellington in between 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster and safety Jacquiski Tartt.

Watson made several crisp throws, displaying timing with his downfield targets and trust in his knee.

Watson completed 5 of 8 passes for 73 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He finished the game with a 131.8 passer rating.

In particular, Watson found Ellington all over the field.

Watson’s biggest play was a short pass over the middle that Ellington turned into a 37-yard catch-and-run.

He completed three passes to Ellington, including the touchdown, for 44 yards. Ellington also dropped one pass during the drive, finishing the game with four reception for 50 yards.

Watson had a 22-yard completion to veteran tight end Ryan Griffin.

Before Watson injured his knee during his rookie season, he transformed the Texans into the highest-scoring offense in the NFL.

Watson and the Texans were averaging 34.7 points per game during his six starts. He was having a Pro Bowl caliber season and was on pace to throw 43 touchdown passes before he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

The passing connection Watson has built with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has the All-Pro selection extremely enthused.

“The possibilities, what we can do is limitless, not just him and myself, but this whole team," Hopkins said prior to the 49ers game. "He runs this whole team and he does a great job.”

Watson has made a full recovery from his knee injury. His multidimensional skill and work ethic are encouraging to Hopkins.

So, is their budding chemistry.

“The way he studies and our communication on the field, we’re always talking in between reps about what we can do better," Hopkin said. "So, that’s something that he’s always had, but just something that he’s improved on – just us communicating and trying to get better reps.”

Jacksonville Jaguars Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey recently said that Watson has the capability to be a Most Valuable Player.

“He’s a good quarterback," Hopkins said when asked about that opinion. "Deshaun has a lot to work on, but it’s a team sport. So, we have to go out and win games for anything to happen.”

Watson wasn’t the only impressive quarterback on the field Saturday night.

Signed to a $137.5 million contract extension during the offseaon after being traded from the New England Patriots last season, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo looks like a wise investment.

Garoppolo completed 10 of 12 passes for 136 yards, one touchdown and one interception for a 107.0 passer rating before being replaced by backup C.J. Beathard.

Garoppolo completed a 40-yard pass to speedy wide receiver Marquise Goodwin during the first quarter with Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson suffering a concussion on the play when he landed on the side of his head. Johnson was ruled out for the remainder of the game under the NFL concussion protocol.

Seven plays later, Garoppolo threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Trent Taylor as the wide receiver beat cornerback Aaron Colvin over the middle in the back of the end zone for the score.

Replacing Johnson, former Patriots cornerback Johnson Bademosi picked off a deflected Garoppolo pass.

In relief of Watson, Weeden completed 7 of 15 passes for 50 yards.

Rookie outside linebacker Duke Ejiofor started for the second week in a row with Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus held out again.

The Alief Taylor graduate made a tackle on special teams and finished the half with three tackles, including one for a loss.

A fifth-round draft pick from Wake Forest, Ejiofor had three quarterback hits during the Texans' 17-10 preseason victory over the Kansas City Chiefs a week ago during his NFL debut.  Ejiofor missed the entire offseason while recuperating from shoulder surgery.

The 49ers were penalized twice during the first half for illegal helmet contact, a major officiating point of emphasis during the preseason.

Veteran referee Walt Anderson and his crew were pretty flag-happy, calling 15 penalties for 140 yards against the 49ers with eight assessed against the Texans for 57 yards.

Starting his second NFL game with veteran Tyrann Mathieu held out as a precautionary measure, rookie safety Justin Reid recorded six tackles, including three solo stops.

The third-round draft pick from Stanford is competing for a starting job with veteran Kareem Jackson holding the edge for now.

During the second half, Texans wide receiver Sammie Coates suffered a concussion and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

A special-teams standout, Coates caught three passes for 32 yards before getting hurt.

Besides Clowney and Mercilus, multiple key players didn't play in this game.

That included star defensive end J.J. Watt, safety Tyrann Mathieu, inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney, nose tackle D.J. Reader, cornerback Johnathan Joseph and wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien has emphasized that he's getting what he's looking for from veteran players during practice sessions.

Texans rookie wide receiver Vyncint Smith, an undrafted free agent from Division II Limestone College, caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from third quarterback Joe Webb to win the game.

The Top 25 Teams of the Decade: #4 Oklahoma

Hello everybody, we’re celebrating the arrival of the 2020′s by looking at the 25 best programs of the previous decade.

We’ve made it to the top five! If you’ve been reading this whole time thank you. Here’s the 4th best team of the 2010′s:

University of Oklahoma Sooners

Record: 109-25 (.813) Conference Titles: 7 Bowl Seasons: 10 Major Bowls: 7 Playoff/BCS Berths: 4 Final Top 25 Finishes: 9 Final Top 10 Finishes: 6 Final Top 5 Finishes: 4 Best Season: Maybe 2017

Oklahoma was an odd duck in the decade of the 2010′s. The Sooners were one of the most consistent winners in the whole decade, but they were never good to actually win a title. The computers put their best team in 2011, when OU only managed a third place finish in the Big 12, yet they won 7 conference championships, more than any team in these past ten years.

Oklahoma more or less picked up where they left off in the 2000′s. The Sooners were also one of the best in the previous decade as well, perhaps even higher than 4th place, after all they actually won a national title in 2000. Bob Stoops had built up his squad into one of the two heads of the Big 12′s two-headed monster of OU and rival Texas. Both teams spent those years competing with each other and a select few other programs for national championships every year. In fact, Oklahoma’s 8-5 record in 2009 was considered a shocking under-performance, and that was with Heisman contender Sam Bradford out for essentially the entire season.

With Landry Jones having established himself at QB, the Sooners were expecting a return to form in 2010. Business as usual in Norman. OU began the year ranked 7th in the nation after finishing the previous year outside the top 25. That’s a vote of confidence. After avoiding a slip up in Game 1 against Utah State, Oklahoma torched #17 Florida State 47-17 at home which should have righted the ship. However, the Sooners kept struggling through their non-conference schedule, beating Air Force by three points and only managing to scrape past Cincinnati by two. September wasn’t exactly a confidence-builder, and it didn’t bode well for Red River. #8 OU held off #21 Texas 28-20 and then thumped Iowa State 52-0. It wasn’t a pretty 6-0, but halfway through the year and Oklahoma was still undefeated. That’s as far as they got. The #3 Sooners’ first true road test was a cross-division visit to #18 Missouri, where they were handed a 36-27 defeat by the Tigers. OU put away bloodless Colorado to climb to 7-1 before falling to unranked Texas A&M at Kyle Field 19-33. Oklahoma washed down to 19th in the polls, but with Texas Tech rebuilding and Baylor barely better than average, the Sooners only had one team to worry about. #14 OU entered Bedlam technically as an underdog to #10 Oklahoma State, but Oklahoma’s knack for crushing their arch-rival’s spirit would carry over from the 2000′s into the 2010′s. The Sooners won 47-41 and OU entered a three-way tie atop the Big 12 South with the Cowboys and A&M. The tiebreakers broke Oklahoma’s way and the now-#10 Sooners were pitted against rival #13 Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship Game. In an emotionally fraught game, heightened by NU’s impending departure for the Big Ten, OU gave their nemesis one final kick in the ass with a 23-20 victory after coming back from a 17-0 deficit. Oklahoma was 11-2 and Big 12 Champions, nowhere near good enough to be considered for the BCS Championship Game, but they’d get the conference’s slot in the Fiesta Bowl. The #9 Sooners blew out an overmatched #25 Connecticut 48-20 in Glendale. Another top ten finish in the books.

OU was really aiming high in 2011. Oklahoma was the preseason #1 and expectations were as high as could be with such a talented roster. However, a black cloud surrounded the program as the year began after the death of linebacker Austin Box back in May. After the Sooners beat up Tulsa to start the season, several players announced their intention to transfer. The bad vibes weren’t translating to the field. OU once again handled #5 Florida State, this time in Tallahassee 23-13. Oklahoma pushed past Missouri and murdered Ball State to once again go undefeated into Red River. This time, the Sooners left no doubt as they ran #11 Texas off the field in a 55-17 slaughter. It should have been smooth sailing heading into OU’s end of October date with Kansas State, but Oklahoma was upset by a not particularly good Texas Tech squad 38-41 in Norman. It was the Sooners’ first conference loss at home since 2001 and basically ended the national title hunt then and there. #11 OU rebounded by blowing out #10 Kansas State in Manhattan and then breezed past A&M in their last meeting with the Aggies as members of the Big 12. Oklahoma climbed back to 5th in the polls but were then upset by #25 Baylor 38-45 led by eventual Heisman Robert Griffin III. It was their first EVER loss to the BU. The Big 12′s contraction from 12 to 10 teams mucked with the schedule, so Bedlam was again played in Stillwater. I’d say home field advantage had some role to play in what happened but I don’t think the outcome would have changed if it had been played at Owen Field. #3 Oklahoma State handed the Sooners their most lopsided defeat in the contest since 1945 when the Cowboys blew up OU 44-10. Statistically, 9-3 Oklahoma was perhaps a top five team in the nation, but they weren’t anywhere close thanks to their three losses which placed them tied for 3rd in the standings with the Bears. The #19 Sooners beat unranked Iowa 31-14 in the Insight Bowl to end their frustrating season with a win.

Rinse and repeat. In 2012 OU began the year ranked 4th in the AP poll, and really, there was no expecting anybody else to win the Big 12 with Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon gone from OSU. Of course, Oklahoma lost 19-24 in Week 4 to #15 Kansas State, this year’s “it” team in the conference. The Sooners rebounded by winning three in a row, including smoking #15 Texas in Dallas for the second season in a row 63-21. The “it” team in all of college football in 2012 was Notre Dame. OU had the misfortune of scheduling the Irish for that season and #8 Oklahoma fell 13-30 at home. The Sooners won three straight again heading into Bedlam, this time #14 OU scraped past #22 Oklahoma State in an overtime shootout 51-48. KSU held the tiebreaker over Oklahoma, and took the Big 12′s spot in the Fiesta Bowl. The #12 Sooners were relegated to the Cotton Bowl, where they faced off against an old foe. #10 Texas A&M was the hottest team in the whole sport by the end of 2012, and the Aggies smoked OU 41-13. A second straight year of disappointing 10-3 finishes and a ranking outside of the top ten.

The frustrating 2011 and 2012 seasons finally caught up with Oklahoma. For the first time since their national championship season in 2000, the Sooners began the year ranked outside of the top ten, with a #16 ranking in the AP poll. OU did well without the bright spotlight, taking care of the non-conference schedule including paying back #22 Notre Dame 35-21 in South Bend. Oklahoma had only risen to 12th in the polls before Red River. The Sooners were facing an unranked Texas team that seemed to be falling apart. Mack Brown’s tenure was coming to an end. A few years prior, a bad UT squad would suggest that OU would now dominate the conference, but upstarts OSU and KSU had so far thwarted Oklahoma’s ambitions. Of course Texas won, beating their rivals 36-20 to send Mack out on top. The Sooners went back into cruise control, beating hapless Kansas and a frankly overrated #10 Texas Tech. 2013′s upstart was #5 Baylor, who blew out Oklahoma 41-12. OU was knocked down from 12th to 22nd, but they won out in workmanlike fashion. The #18 Sooners capped the regular season with a 33-24 victory over #6 Oklahoma State, denying the Cowboys a share of the Big 12 title. 10-2 OU was selected to face off against #3 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Crimson Tide spent the lion’s share of 2013 as the #1 team in football, only kept out of the BCS Championship Game by the the Kick Six, a play that many people didn’t even know was possible until it happened on national tv. The game was considered a foregone conclusion, but nobody told Oklahoma. The #10 Sooners shocked everyone, upsetting the vaunted Tide 45-31. Whether OU was the only team to ever catch Saban’s Tide asleep or their modern no-huddle offense really did just overwhelm Bama, that strong 11-2 finish was miles ahead of their previous two disappointing 10-3 campaigns. We can also thank Oklahoma for shocking Alabama into adopting modern offensive principles, so thanks for that.

Of course the strong finish to the 2013 season put OU back into the spotlight in 2014. Oklahoma began the year #4 in the country, and certainly looked like it as they skipped through September in fast motion. It was a bit too easy, and Oklahoma was brought back down to earth by #25 TCU, who would end up being the Big 12′s upstart “it” team in 2014 (sort of). The Sooners broke in new Texas head coach Charlie Strong with a 31-26 win over the Longhorns, but then fell to #11 Kansas State in a crushing 31-30 loss. OU took care of business against Iowa State as they should have, but was handed their third loss on the year at the hands of #10 Baylor in an embarrassing 48-14 blowout at home. For the first time since later 2009, Oklahoma tumbled out of the polls. They’d only stay gone for a week before wins over Texas Tech and Kansas carried the Sooners back into the top 25. They could save face with a surefire win over 5-6 Oklahoma State and a bowl victory to earn another 10-3 record. It wasn’t ideal but hey. Instead, OU was shocked at home by the Cowboys, falling 38-35 in overtime to again fall out of the polls. Oklahoma was pitted against #18 Clemson in the Russel Athletic Bowl and they were taken to the shed, losing 40-6. It wasn’t the last time they’d see the Tigers in the postseason, or the last time they’d lose to them. The 8-5 finish was the Sooners’ worst in the 2010′s. Though many teams would kill to have that as their floor, it wasn’t gonna fly in Norman. Bob Stoops was under fire with some people speculating that he was overstaying his welcome the same way Mack Brown had in Texas.

Stoops canned co-offensive coordinators Josh Heupel and Jay Norvell following the disappointing finish in 2014 and brought in Lincoln Riley with the hopes of breathing new life into the program. How’d that turn out? Well, it was a bumpy transition to begin with. OU had trouble putting away #23 Tennessee and were taken to double overtime by the Vols in Week 2. Oklahoma began the year ranked 19th because they were coming off 8-5 and not 6-6, but after a victory over #23 West Virginia 44-24 in the first week of October they climbed up to 10th place. The Sooners were beginning to really enter the 2015 Playoff discussion when the Red River Shootout rolled around. Of course, they were upset by Texas, falling 17-24. OU tumbled back down to #19 in the AP, but the schedule eased up which really allowed transfer QB Baker Mayfield to take control of the offense. Oklahoma annihilated Kansas State, Texas Tech, KU, and ISU by a combined 232-50 including a 55-0 shutout in Manhattan. The end of the season was a murderer’s row featuring the three top teams in the Big 12 but the Sooners were up to the challenge. The first leg featured #12 OU travelling to Waco against undefeated Baylor, Oklahoma won 44-34. The Sooners vaulted into the top ten with the win and entered a tie for second place in the standings. They were tied with the #11 TCU Horned Frogs, who were next up on the docket. OU managed to scrape by with a 30-29 win and were now tied with Oklahoma State, meaning Bedlam was a contest for all the marbles. #5 Oklahoma blew out the Cowboys 58-23 to emphatically seal their 11-1 regular season record and the Big 12 Championship. The Sooners entered into the Playoff as the #4 seed, they were selected to play undefeated Clemson in the Orange Bowl. OU wasn’t able to get any scoring going against former DC Brent Venables’ staunch defense and fell 17-37. Oklahoma finished 11-2 and 5th in the polls. It was a pretty good rebound season.

The Sooners had an interesting year in 2016. With the return of Baker Mayfield, OU was expected to contend to make their way back to the Playoff. #3 Oklahoma began the year in NRG Stadium against the defending Peach Bowl champions #15 Houston. The Sooners were upset by the Cougars 23-33, severely denting their repeat hopes to get back to the top 4. OU dropped down to 14th in the poll, and basically cost Oklahoma an appearance on College Gameday. In Week 3, the Sooners hosted #3 Ohio State in a game that was billed as a Playoff preview. Instead, the Buckeyes ended OU’s Playoff hopes with an emphatic 45-24 victory in Norman. A 1-2 September knocked Oklahoma all the way out of the polls and cast a shadow over conference play. Big 12 competition began in October with a trip to #21 TCU. The Sooners overcame the Horned Frogs 52-46 to climb back into the top 25. OU managed to put away Texas 45-40 and then more easily handled Kansas State. In a matchup of future NFL Quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield outdueled Pat Mahomes of Texas Tech in Lubbock in an incredible 66-59 boat race. After this win, Oklahoma began to really settle into form. The Sooners beat Kansas and Iowa State without much fuss, which wasn’t too remarkable, but once again the final three games featured the three other best teams in the conference. By now, OU had climbed back into the top ten, and were hoping they could take advantage of potential chaos in the last month to make a final push for the Playoff. The first matchup featured #9 Oklahoma hosting #25 Baylor, the Sooners won handily 45-24. The next week, #8 OU went to Morgantown and blew out the #10 Mountaineers 56-28. Bedlam was again a battle for first place against #11 Oklahoma State. #7 Oklahoma ran over their rivals 38-20 to complete a perfect 9-0 season in Big 12 play. They’re still the only team  to have ever had a perfect record in conference play since going to 9 league games. Unfortunately for the champs, the Sooners only made it to #7 in the Playoff rankings. They couldn’t live down the two non-conference losses in September, which was justified in this case. As Big 12 champions, OU faced off against #17 Auburn. As you might imagine, the 8-4 Tigers were a bit overmatched. Oklahoma won 35-19, completing another 11-2 season capped with a ten game win streak and a final #5 AP ranking. After the disappointing few seasons between 2011 and 2015, the program appeared to be entering a Renaissance under Stoops having won back to back conference titles. However, Stoops shocked the nation by announcing his retirement. He retired as one of the winningest coaches in the game and held 11 Big 12 titles in 18 seasons.

Stoops’ young OC Lincoln Riley was promoted as head coach. Even as a coordinator, Riley was one of the hottest names in coaching circles, even attracting NFL attention. Now Riley was given the reigns to fully flex his muscles. The Sooners erupted out of the gate in 2017, destroying UTEP as they should have, and in their second game of the year, easily handled #2 Ohio State on the back end trip of the home and home 31-16. The win vaulted #5 OU firmly into the top four with renewed Playoff hopes. Baker Mayfield was lighting up the competition and Oklahoma could easily outpace all comers. Sort of. A Baylor team that had completely collapsed and would finish the season 1-11 nearly beat the Sooners in Waco. Two weeks later after a bye, #3 OU was upset 31-38 by Iowa State. Oklahoma handled business through the rest of October with wins over UT, KSU, and Texas Tech. Once again, the schedule toughened up in November just in time for a Playoff push. #8 Oklahoma outpaced #11 Oklahoma State 62-52 and followed it up with a 38-20 victory over #8 TCU. It was enough to push the Sooners back into the top four and cruised to an 11-1 regular season record with easy wins over Kansas and West Virginia. In an effort to keep the Big 12 from getting snubbed from the Playoff like they did in 2014, the conference reinstated the Conference Championship Game in 2017. Which in this case could have backfired if #2 OU lost to the #10 Horned Frogs who themselves had no chance of making the top four. Thankfully Oklahoma once again handled Texas Christian, this time 41-17. Baker Mayfield was awarded the Heisman Trophy for leading the most dynamic offense in college football. This might have been the best Sooner team of the decade, and had the best chance of winning the national championship, but their dreams ended in the Rose Bowl. In the best semifinal game in the young Playoff era, OU blew a three-score lead to #3 Georgia and then lost in double overtime 48-54. It was another bitter disappointment, but as far as first years for head coaches go, it was pretty good: 12-2 with a final #4 ranking.

Heisman winner Baker Mayfield was gone in 2018, but Texas A&M transfer Kyler Murray was waiting in the wings to make a seamless transfer of power. For the second year in a row, Oklahoma began the year ranked 7th in the nation and the favorite to win the Big 12. The Sooners had no problem mopping up FAU and UCLA before paying ISU back 37-27 in Ames. Army’s triple option got under OU’s circuitry and took Oklahoma to overtime before falling 28-21. The Sooners boat raced Baylor 66-33 to end September 5-0. The only way to beat OU, it seemed, was to somehow outscore them. And guess what happened when they met Texas at the State Fair? The #19 Longhorns managed to outpace their rivals 48-45, dealing a huge blow to #7 Oklahoma’s Playoff aspirations. It was enough of a let down to get DC Mike Stoops fired. It was a road bump for sure, but the Sooners rebounded quite well. OU never even fell out of the top ten and demolished TCU and Kansas State before outpacing Texas Tech 51-46. Oklahoma went down to the wire in Bedlam again, but once again prevailed over the Cowboys 48-47. To end the season, the Sooners only beat Kansas by 15, which is relatively disappointing and then overcame #12 West Virginia 59-56. This time, the Big 12 Championship Game came in handy, as #5 Oklahoma parlayed their rematch with #9 Texas with a 39-27 victory. Kyler Murray was conferred the Heisman Trophy, the first time two QBs from the same school won it in back to back years. OU was given a 4 seed and had to go up against 13-0 #1 Alabama. It was a disaster. OU fell behind 28-0 after just 17 minutes of play. If you didn’t turn the TV off after the first quarter, you would have missed a valiant comeback attempt. Oklahoma actually outscored the Tide for the remainder of the game, but come on, they started out behind by four touchdowns. Bama won 45-34 and the Sooners were sent home with another 12-2 record and #4 finish.

With Kyler Murray gone to the NFL, the torch passed to former Tide QB Jalen Hurts of all people. Once again, OU was in the mix in the preseason, carrying over their 4th place ranking into 2019. Things basically went as expected. Hurts put up Heisman numbers as Oklahoma torched their way through the competition through the first half of the season. The defense had finally come together under new coordinator Alex Grinch, who had taken over for the lackluster Mike Stoops. The Sooners outscored their non-conference opponents 167-59 before annihilating Texas Tech and Kansas heading into Red River. This OU made sure to put their rivals away in the regular season, beating #11 Texas 34-27. Oklahoma manhandled West Virginia before finally being upset 41-48 by Kansas State. November was another brutal stretch, which began with a 42-41 win over emerging thorn-in-side Iowa State. In the regular season conference championship, the #10 Sooners faced off against undefeated #13 Baylor. The Bears were the “it” team in College Football in 2019 and took a lead deep into the game before OU snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in front of a shocked Waco crowd. #8 Oklahoma squeaked by TCU 28-24 before putting away #21 Oklahoma State 34-16 to end the regular season 11-1 yet again. The Sooners needed a bit of help getting back into the Playoff. #6 OU beat #7 Baylor in the Big 12 Championship Game, again ripping the Bears’ hearts out in with a touchdown win in overtime. Thankfully, #4 Georgia and #5 Utah lost their Championship Games, giving Oklahoma their third straight Playoff appearance. Unfortunately they had to face #1 LSU in the Peach Bowl. If Alabama dominated the Sooners in one quarter bad enough to beat OU in the 2018 semifinal, the Tigers did it for the whole 60 minutes. Louisiana State completely lit up Oklahoma 63-28 with most of the scoring coming in the first half. 12-2 and another loss in the semifinals for the third straight year.

What a weird decade. Oklahoma’s spent most of the 2010′s as one of the best teams in College Football, but they were never the best. The Sooners’ best years from a pure quality standpoint were in 2011 and 2017. In 2011, OU finished 10-3 and third place in the Big 12. In 2017, they featured the best offense in football and came excruciatingly close to a trip to the Championship Game. Hey, two Heismans and SEVEN Big 12 Championships. It wasn’t a total wash.

Oklahoma will certainly carry their success into the 2020′s. If I had to put money on which team would win the Big 12 the most times in the coming decade, it’d be the Sooners. I think you’d put your money down as well.

I’ve spent the last paragraph of each one of these Top 25 lists speaking on how each team performed against their rivals. OU had no problem on that front. Oklahoma went 8-3 against rival Texas, though those three losses really stung. The Sooners went 8-2 against Oklahoma State in arguably the Cowboys’ most successful decade in program history. That’s how you dominate little brother. Unfortunately the rivalry with Nebraska ended with conference realignment, but Oklahoma did get the last laugh with a win in the Big 12 CG in 2010.

Best backup QB situation among playoff teams

If the Cowboys had to turn to Romo they’d be just fine

           As I was watching the games on Sunday and seeing all these backups play during the final week of the regular season it got me thinking, of the playoff teams which ones could survive if their starting quarterback was injured?

           Here’s my list ranking the worst to best backup QB’s in this year’s playoffs:

                       12. Trevone Boykin – Seattle Seahawks

                       11. Brett Hundley – Green Bay Packers

                       10. Ryan Nassib – New York Giants

                       9. Matt McGloin/? – Oakland Raiders

                       8. Tom Savage/Brandon Weeden – Houston Texans

                       7. Dan Orlovsky – Detroit Lions

                       6. T.J. Yates – Miami Dolphins

                       5. Landry Jones – Pittsburgh Steelers

                       4. Nick Foles – Kansas City Chiefs

                       3. Matt Schaub – Atlanta Falcons

                       2. Jimmy Garoppolo – New England Patriots

                       1. Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys

             I would be completely shocked if Boykin, Hundley or Nassib were able to step in for their respective team and lead them on a deep run in the postseason let alone a single playoff victory.

           Boykin has seen action in three games this season courtesy of mop-up duty and posted some decent numbers. The problem though is that with the Seahawks putrid offensive line play having an untested rookie under center would make matters that much worse. Hundley, also another rookie, has seen even less action than Boykin this season. The only reason I’d put him one spot higher is because of the Packers explosive offense. Eli Manning has hardly ever missed a start in his career, but if he were to go down it would be Nassib. He is in his third season with the Giants but hasn’t even seen much mop-up time in those three years.

           The Raiders and Texans have had QB issues over the last few weeks. The Texans benched Brock Osweiler in favor of Tom Savage only to find his way back on the field in week 17 when Savage left with a concussion. So now Osweiler will start Saturday while either Savage or Weeden will serve as the backup. Once Derek Carr went down a few weeks ago for the Raiders it was Matt McGloin’s time to step up. He left last week’s game with a shoulder injury so now rookie Conor Cook will be making his first career start.

           It just so happens that these two teams play each other in the Wild Card round. If McGloin isn’t healthy enough to be the backup then the Raiders will have to sign another QB which spells disaster. If the backup is Weeden the Texans won’t be in the worst shape. Weeden was a starter for the Browns in 2012 and part of the 2013 season. Weeden could possibly steal a playoff victory.

           Orlovsky has been in the league for seven years and actually started out his career as the backup for the Lions all the way back in 2005. He has started 12 games in his career for both the Lions and Colts. In his career he has thrown 15 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. Decent numbers for a backup. Lions fans shouldn’t feel like the world is coming to an end if Orlovsky is at the helm.

           Yates actually won a playoff game in his rookie season for the Texans back in 2011 when he beat the Bengals. Since those playoff games though he started just two games which was last year for the Texans. In his first year with the Dolphins Yates should be able to manage the game with his cool composure if Matt Moore were to go down and Tannehill was still recovering from his knee injury.

           Jones has been with the Steelers since 2013 so he knows the system very well. He started two games last season and two games this season due to injuries to Ben Roethlisberger. He’s 2-2 in those games with a mix of highs and lows. The reason why Jones is so high up on this list is because of the teams he’s faced in his starts. Last season he started at Kansas City which is a very hostile environment, albeit it was a loss. This season he played against the Patriots and lost 26-17, but he gave the Steelers plenty of chances to win that game.

           Foles actually has a chance to be a starter in this league again since he is still so young. In 2013 he went 8-2 and led the Eagles to the playoffs. He also had the highest QB rating at 119.2. He played well in a 26-24 loss to the Saints in the Wild Card round that year. He has a very similar style to Alex Smith so the Chiefs wouldn’t really skip a beat if Smith got hurt.

           The Falcons are very fortunate to have Schaub. He is in his 13th season and six of those he was the starter for the Texans. He played in two postseason games and did win one of them back in 2012. If Schaub were to step in for Matt Ryan he’s been in the league long enough to know what needs to be done in that situation. Play smart football and don’t turn the ball over. Schaub would be capable of leading the Falcons to a few victories in the playoffs.

           It was a tough decision whether I would choose Garoppolo or Romo in the #1 spot. It ultimately came down to Romo because of the experience. Garoppolo is so high up on the list because of the poise he showed starting the two games for the suspended Brady. It is more of a credit to Bill Belichick and the coaching staff. If Brady were to go down the Patriots would still have a great shot to win the Super Bowl especially since they own home field advantage throughout.

           Even though Romo has had his playoff failures he is undoubtedly the best QB of the bunch. If Dak Prescott didn’t have such an unbelievable season it would be Romo starting their first playoff game. Romo saw his first game action last Sunday since November 2015. He threw for 29 yards and touchdown on one drive. He is 2-4 in the playoffs but has had numerous 4th quarter comebacks during his career. If he had to step in as the starter the Cowboys would still be the odds on favorite to reach Super Bowl LI.

"James Addiction" AFC South: Free Agency & Fantasy Impacts

“James Addiction” AFC South: Free Agency & Fantasy Impacts

The AFC South is home to the AFC runner-up Jacksonville Jaguars. Will the Jaguars defense and an offense led by Blake Bortles continue to lead the division? Will the return of Andrew Luck and Deshaun Watson bolster their teams enough to again allow them to compete for the division crown? Or will the coaching changes in Indianapolis and Tennessee be the reason they again are at the top of the…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes had a quiet first start for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mahomes' first appearance as the Chiefs' starting quarterback lasted nine plays and netted 29 yards Thursday during a 17-10 loss to the Houston Texans in the preseason opener for both teams.

Now, the challenge for Mahomes, who finished 5 of 7 for 33 yards on his two drives, is to use the game to get ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 9 at the Los Angeles Chargers.

"We've got to just keep perfecting our craft, keep perfecting the plays and hopefully move the ball and score a few more touchdowns," he said, calling the preseason "a little bit of a tease."

Mahomes, who took over the starting job when Alex Smith was traded to Washington during the offseason, was sacked once and didn't throw a touchdown or interception in a solid, if unspectacular, performance.

"Just scoring a touchdown or a field goal would probably have made it a lot better," Mahomes said. "We moved the ball a little bit; we made some plays. But at the same time, you want to kind of get the drive going a little bit more."

Eventually, Chiefs fans will get to see Mahomes' full ability on display. He didn't complete a pass longer than 14 yards and never targeted Sammy Watkins -- who signed a three-year, $48 million deal in the offseason -- on Thursday.

"Being the quarterback that I am, I like to take shots downfield," Mahomes said. "I just didn't get the opportunity to do it tonight."

The announced crowd of 58,465 also witnessed the return of Houston's second-year franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson, who was selected two picks after Mahomes at No. 12 overall in the 2017 draft.

Watson won the Texans' starting job last season, but missed the second half of the season with a torn ACL. He played only one series and threw only one pass -- a 4-yard completion to wide receiver Bruce Ellington -- while handing off four times to running back Lamar Miller.

"I thought it was important for him to go through the whole warmup process and preparation for the game and get out there and operate the offense," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said.

That was good enough for Watson, who relished the return.

"It was a good time to get the juices flowing a little bit, to hear the fans and just walk on the field," Watson said.

Brandon Weeden took over for Houston after the game's opening drive and led back-to-back touchdown drives -- including a 12-play, 68-yard drive during his first series that was capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Jordan Akins.

Weeden hooked up with Akins for a 14-yard touchdown on the next drive and finished 9 of 11 for 97 yards with two touchdowns after starting out with two incompletions.

Mahomes' backup, Chad Henne, was responsible for the lone Chiefs touchdown -- a 24-yard pass over the top to Demarcus Robinson late in the second quarter.

"I want to come out and show the coaches I can make plays, so it was pretty good," Robinson said. "We had a double move called, so I gave him a little hesitation about 5 yards off the line and it was a great ball."

Robinson finished with three catches for a game-high 48 yards, while Henne finished 8 of 14 for 91 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Several notable players were absent for both teams.

Chiefs safety Eric Berry (Achilles' heel) didn't dress for the game. Backup Eric Murray got the start instead alongside rookie safety Armani Watts, who replaced injured starter Daniel Sorenson (knee).

"When they came and told me (I was starting), I was just ready," said Watts, a rookie fourth-round pick from Texas A&M. "That's what you've got to be as the next man up."

Kansas City also was without both starting inside linebackers -- Anthony Hitchens, a free-agent acquisition from the Cowboys, and Reggie Ragland.

Houston had its share of absences as well -- including linebacker Whitney Mercilus (soft tissue injury), who didn't make the trip.

Linebackers Benardrick McKinney and Jadeveon Clowney, defensive end J.J. Watt, safety Tyrann Mathieu and cornerback Johnathan Joseph also didn't play along with starting wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

Saving Trades?

There are players every year in the NFL that are reaching the end of their careers or the back end of them. Some are loyal to their teams, while others are just reaching for one more pay day. The fact is, we have players with stellar careers, but few opportunities to have post season success. Loyalty over rings, seems legit right? I have stumbled upon a few trade possibilities that could save a…

A Look at QB's Drafted in the first round from 2010-2019

THIS IS NOT A RAITINGS POST. THE RAITINGS JUST NEED TO BE CLOSE AND ARE NOT PERFECT

I took a look at 10 years of QB's drafted in the 1st round to see what I could learn from them. I'm interested in two main things.

How often are teams successful in getting a franchise QB?

Are good teams more successful in drafting franchise QBs?  

  I took all 30 QBs drafted in the first round between 2010-2019 (10 years) and

assigned them a rating from 1 to 10, 1 being absolutely horrible, 5 being league average, and 10 being a likely HOFer.

Checked if they have a pro bowl (or multiple)

Checked to see if they are still starting or not

Checked the Win % of the team that drafted them for the 3 years before the QB was drafted.

  Key: Year (Year Drafted), Team(Team that Drafted them), Pro Bowl(If they made a pro bowl), Still Starting(If they are still playing for the team they were drafted to), Rating(How I rate their entire career to this point), Win % (The average win % of the team that drafted him for the 3 years BEFORE he was drafted)

  Year Team Player Pro Bowl Still Starting Rating Win % 2017 Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes Y Y 10 67% 2018 Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson Y Y 8 46% 2017 Houston Texans Deshaun Watson Y N 8 56% 2018 Buffalo Bills Josh Allen Y Y 7 50% 2011 Carolina Panthers Cam Newton Y N 7 46% 2019 Arizona Cardinals Kyler Murray Y Y 7 38% 2012 Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck Y N 7 54% 2012 Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill Y N 6 42% 2010 St. Louis Rams Sam Bradford N N 6 13% 2018 Cleveland Browns Baker Mayfield N Y 6 8% 2016 Philadelphia Eagles Carson Wentz Y N 6 56% 2016 Los Angeles Rams Jared Goff Y N 5 42% 2019 New York Giants Daniel Jones N Y 4 40% 2014 Minnesota Vikings Teddy Bridgewater Y N 4 38% 2018 New York Jets Sam Darnold N N 3 42% 2010 Denver Broncos Tim Tebow N N 3 48% 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars Blaine Gabbert N N 3 42% 2013 Buffalo Bills EJ Manuel N N 3 33% 2012 Washington Redskins Robert Griffin III Y N 3 31% 2015 Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota N N 3 31% 2017 Chicago Bears Mitchell Trubisky Y N 3 29% 2015 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jameis Winston Y N 3 27% 2014 Jacksonville Jaguars Blake Bortles N N 3 23% 2019 Washington Redskins Dwayne Haskins N N 2 44% 2012 Cleveland Browns Brandon Weeden N N 2 29% 2014 Cleveland Browns Johnny Manziel N N 2 27% 2011 Minnesota Vikings Christian Ponder N N 2 58% 2011 Tennessee Titans Jake Locker N N 2 56% 2016 Denver Broncos Paxton Lynch N N 1 77% 2018 Arizona Cardinals Josh Rosen N N 1 58%

  Of the 30 QBs drafted

14 have at least 1 Pro Bowl [47%]

8 are still with their original game [27%]

8 were drafted by a "good team" with an average winning record the 3 years before drafting them [27%]

1 were drafted by a team with an average .500 record the 3 years before drafting them [3%]

21 were drafted by a "bad team" with an average losing record the 3 years before drafting them [70%]

7 I rated a 7 or above [23%]

12 I rated a 5 or above [40%]

18 I rated a 4 or lower [60%]

6 I rated a 2 or lower [20%]

4 of the 8 players [50%] drafted by "good teams" had a rating of 5 or above

7 of the 21 [33%] players drafted by "bad teams" had a rating of 5 or above

  TLDR: Teams in general have a 40% chance of drafting an average or better QB in the first round. "Good teams" have better odds of drafting an average or better QB then "bad teams"

Looking back at Russell Wilson’s draft year: “The whole league missed”

Ten years ago Thursday, Russell Wilson received the life-changing call informing him he was being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks … a team that signed a new starter a month earlier … after five other quarterbacks had already been selected … in the third round.

Wilson didn’t care that Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden (!) and Brock Osweiler were selected before him. He didn’t care the Seahawks already had Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. And he didn’t care people had concerns about his height.

“All I’ve ever said is I need one person to give me a chance — one team,” Wilson said when I asked about that draft earlier this week. “Seattle gave me that amazing chance.”

In turn, Wilson delivered amazing results for the Seahawks and compared to the rest of the quarterbacks drafted in 2012.
