Ladoceur, because he moved the football illegally.That last part was news to Ladoceur, the longest-tenured member of Dallas’ roster.“Exact same thing I’ve been doing for 14 years,” he said.Asked how often he’s seen that call in the NFL, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said: “I don’t know. Once? Twice? Not very often.”Maher’s take?“I’ve never seen anything like that before,” he said, “but it’s my job to kick it Womens Dwayne Haskins Jersey , wherever it was.”His miss foiled a spirited comeback attempt after Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan’s strip-sack of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was recovered for a touchdown by Preston Smith with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter.“Scoop and score,” said Smith. “Yeah, that was one of the easiest touchdowns I ever had.”That made it 20-10 and was Washington’s fourth sack of Prescott, who used smelling salts and was checked for a concussion in the first quarter after taking a shoulder to his helmet at the end of a run.The QB didn’t miss a play, returning for the Cowboys’ next possession.Prescott lost two fumbles in the game, including one on an earlier fourth-and-1 keeper.The Redskins (4-2) won consecutive games for the first time this season. The Cowboys dropped to 0-4 on the road, 3-4 overall, as they head into their bye week.Washington won this one thanks to its staunch defense and 99 yards on 24 carries from Adrian Peterson, who helped mask the latest so-so performance from quarterback Alex Smith and a generally iffy offense that was missing three injured playmakers.The Redskins twice had to settle for short field goals in the second half despite having first-and-goal opportunities. On each of those possessions, Alex Smith missed an open receiver in the end zone from down close.Washington’s QB finished 14 for 25 for 178 yards, including a 23-yard TD on a swing pass to Kapri Bibbs in the first quarter. But there were some questionable decisions, including running out of bounds on third down with 78 seconds left, stopping the clock before a punt gave the ball back to Dallas.The Redskins limited Ezekiel Elliott, the NFL’s No. 2 rusher entering the week, to 34 yards on 15 carries, the second-lowest total of his pro career.“He’s a great, great player,” Gruden said. “It takes all 11 men on defense to get him stopped, and our defensive line played outstanding.”Prescott was 22 for 35 for 273 yards, with one TD pass and one TD run. He connected with rookie receiver Michael Gallup on a 49-yard score a minute before halftime that made the score 7-all, then — after Kerrigan’s key play made it 20-10 — scored on a 1-yard quarterback draw to cut Dallas’ deficit to three points with 1½ minutes remaining.The Cowboys got the ball back and drove into Redskins territory thanks, in part, to three consecutive completions from Prescott to Beasley that ate up a total of 33 yards.But in the final seconds, Dallas seemed content to try to get to OT rather than pushing for a go-ahead TD.And, well, the field goal did not go according to plan.“It didn’t come down to the kick,” Dallas right guard Zack Martin said. “It came down to the first three quarters leading up to that.”PASSING THE SMELL TESTPrescott was nonchalant about the being captured by a TV camera using smelling salts, saying, “I do that every game.” Redskins LB Mason Foster agreed that it’s commonplace in the NFL. “I feel like everybody uses them, just to wake up or whatever. It’s almost like a habit.”INJURIESCowboys: Martin sprained his knee but remained in the game. … CB C.J. Goodwin broke his forearm. … TE Geoff Swaim left with a knee injury.Redskins: Both Kerrigan (chest) and Preston Smith (ankle) briefly left the game with injuries but returned. … CB Fabian Moreau hurt his ankle in the last minute of the fourth quarter.UP NEXTCowboys: Bye week. Return to host Titans on Nov. 5.Redskins: At New York Giants next Sunday.

  On the surface Womens JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , the Antonio Brown contract can easily be traded. He’s due to make less than $39 million over the next three years, an annual average of less than $13 million.In theory, this makes his contract somewhat easier to trade. Assuming, of course, that he doesn’t expect a new contract.Many around the league think that Brown will expect a new contract as part of any trade, both to inject some guaranteed money into a deal that currently carries none and to bump Brown’s annual average closer to the guys who currently are at the top of the market.If Brown wants a new deal, that will serve only to complicate trade talks, because whoever makes the deal to get him from the Steelers will also have to make a deal with Brown. Which could be one of the reasons for the Steelers’ inability to find a trade partner.The less that a team must surrender in the form of trade compensation to get Brown, the more money (in theory) they’ll pay him. So maybe it’s good for Brown that the team’s trade leverage seems to be dropping. As the price for getting him declines, there may be a greater willingness to give him a revised deal. PITTSBURGH (AP) — The battle is on for the backup quarterback spot in Pittsburgh.Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph led the offense on four scoring drives as the Steelers defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-28 on Friday night in the preseason opener for both teams.r gave way to recent draft picks Dobbs and Rudolph to battle for the backup quarterback job.Article continues below ...“It was good to get out there, make plays and move the ball efficiently,” Dobbs said.In Tampa, the Buccaneers want to see if Jameis Winston is the long-term answer at quarterback this season. His short sting Friday was a positive step.Winston led the Bucs‘ first-team offense to a touchdown in his only offensive series against a Steelers defense that featured few regulars.“We executed pretty well and really established the run game Womens T. J. Watt Jersey ,” Winston said. “When you run the football well, you get touchdowns on the first drive.”Dobbs started and played two series, going 5 of 8 for 85 yards and throwing an interception that was nullified because of offsetting penalties. Dobbs, a fourth-round draft pick in 2017, also had two third-down scrambles for 44 yards, including a 36-yarder that set up a 33-yard field goal by Chris Boswell.Rudolph entered on the third series and played into the third quarter. He finished 5 of 8 for 91 yards and two touchdowns.Rudolph, the Steelers’ third-round pick in 2018, completed all three attempts during his first series, including an 8-yard touchdown to James Washington, his college teammate at Oklahoma State. In the third quarter, a 59-yard catch-and-run by Johnny Holton set up a 3-yard score to Zach Gentry, the Steelers’ fifth-round pick.“I’m more comfortable,” Rudolph said. “Just the way I’ve been feeling in practice and just coming along in my second year overall.”Bruce Arians coached his first game for the Buccaneers JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey White , and he did it where he was an assistant coach from 2004-11, winning two Super Bowls. Arians, back on the sideline after a year of retirement, coached in Arizona for five seasons and, while in Pittsburgh, helped develop Roethlisberger into one of the league’s top quarterbacks.The Bucs hope he can do the same with Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in 2015 who led the league’s top-ranked passing offense in 2018, but has been spotty.WINSTON’S PERFORMANCEWinston finished 5 of 6 for 40 yards with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Chris Godwin. Winston’s lone incompletion was a first-down deep shot from midfield; the Bucs faced third down once during the 12-play, 81-yard drive.“It was a perfect drive,” Arians said. “We ran the ball well, and that sets up a lot of stuff for us. I thought Jameis took what was there.”Winston, close to the franchise passing record, has thrown for 14 https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey ,628 yards. But he’s won only 21 of 56 career starts and the Bucs have gone 5-11 in consecutive seasons. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, he’s thrown for a franchise-record 88 touchdowns in four seasons, but he also has 58 interceptions in those 56 games.BUSH’S BIG GAMESteelers first-round pick linebacker Devin Bush finished with 10 tackles, including seven solo in one half. He had six tackles in the first quarter alone, with four solo. Bush, the No. 10 overall pick from Michigan, nearly had an interception and was part of a fourth-and-1 stop in the second quarter.“I was just feeling it,” Bush said. “I was just having fun. I think that’s the biggest thing, I was having fun and playing football.”BUCS RUNNING BACKSTampa Bay running backs Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones combined for 36 yards on just seven carries against the Steelers. The Bucs had one of the worst rushing offenses in the league last season. Barber led the team with 871 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games. Jones, the Bucs’ second-round pick in 2018, had just 22 yards on 28 carries in the preseason last year, and 44 yards and a score on 23 carries during the regular season, when he struggled with the playbook. He had 18 yards on four carries Friday.WASHINGTON WITH THE CATCHWashington T. J. Watt Jersey , the Steelers’ second-round pick in 2018, finished with four catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. Washington also caught a 43-yard pass while Pittsburgh was backed up at its 6-yard line, and hauled in a 22-yard reception on third-and-21 from the Steelers 10.“I’m just making plays and doing whatever I can to help this team move down the field,” Washington said.KICKING GAMEBoswell converted both his field goal tries for Pittsburgh, while Matt Gay went 1 for 1 for Tampa Bay.Boswell was a Pro Bowler in 2017, but he struggled last season, converting just 65% percent of his kicks. He hit from 47 and 33 yards against Tampa Bay.Gay, the Bucs’ fifth-round pick from Utah, closed the first half with a 55-yard field goal. It matched the longest NFL kick in stadium history.UP NEXTTampa Bay: welcomes Miami next Friday.Pittsburgh: host Kansas City on Saturday, Aug. 17

  The Broncos selected Brendan Langley in the third round of the 2017 draft because they liked the way he played cornerback while in college at Lamar Dalton Risner Jersey , but his chances of sticking with the team will come down to how well he plays a different position.Langley played 11 games as a rookie, but failed to make the team out of training camp last year and landed on the practice squad. He stayed there even though injuries had the Broncos grabbing any cornerback they could find and finally got on the field for five game in the late part of the season.In between, Langley did scout team work as a wide receiver and that went well enough that he’s trying to make a full-time position switch. He said he spoke to General Manager John Elway about the move and Elway signed off on it.“Mr. Elway and I had a conversation about it at the exit meetings,’’ Langley said, via KUSA. “I asked him about the idea and his response to me was, “I was going to ask you the same thing. You’ve been great on scout team, let’s see what you can do.’’’Langley played receiver in high school and saw occasional snaps there in college, but that’s a big difference from doing it in the NFL. Given how little traction he gained at corner, though, the position switch may be his best shot at a lasting professional career. Next year, the Raiders may be playing a long way from Oakland. A long Womens Noah Fant Jersey , long way from Oakland.According to the , the Raiders are in talks with Tottenham regarding the possibility of playing its home games there next year.Tottenham was due to host an NFL game this season, but the refurbished stadium wasn’t ready.everage for whatever stadium deal the Raiders strike domestically, with AT&T Park in San Francisco being a potential destination. Oakland is due to face the teams of the NFC North and AFC South, along with the last-place teams from the AFC East and the AFC North.Surely, coach Jon Gruden wouldn’t want to spend a season in England. He made it clear this year prior to traveling to London for a regular-season game in 2018.“I hope I can make it, honestly. I鈥檓 not great,” Gruden said. “I get claustrophobic. My son was a weightlifter and he won a powerlifting competition in Belarus. I had to fly 14 hours. I had to fly home 14 hours. I had vertigo for a month. I couldn鈥檛 even lay down, the house was spinning. I am hoping I don鈥檛 get vertigo. I鈥檓 not a great traveler.”He likely won’t have to worry about multiple London trips next year. But until the Raiders know where they will be in 2019, there’s no reason to take any option off the table.

  Trent Williams‘ relationship with the organization might be “totally fractured Dwayne Haskins Jersey White ,” but his bond with his teammates is as strong as ever.Morgan Moses stood in for Williams on Sunday, showing up to his interview wearing Williams’ jersey. Moses pretended he was Williams when he answered questions, too.“I miss my guys. I miss the Hogs. I miss Brandon [Scherff] and Morgan,” Moses said, playing the role of Williams, via NFL.com. “It’s about that time, man. Get ready for these guys.”Washington misses Williams, a seven-time Pro Bowler.“I miss him,” Moses said. “Well Dwayne Haskins Jersey , see, my most wanted shirt wasn’t ready yet, so I had to opt out for the jersey.”Moses reports that Williams is “doing good” and working out, and readying himself for the season. The question remains: Will Williams play this season, and if so, where? Mark Tyler looks towards the future in his latest Redskins 2019 mock draft." Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareRedskins 2019 Mock Draft - Skins Build for the Future via a First Round TradeMike Granse-USA TODAY SportsI am one of just many who feel the Redskins will have a “challenging” season in 2019. Things can certainly change a bit before the season starts, but I don’t see us being much better than 6-10 this year.As much as I’ve been a Jay Gruden supporter since he was hired here as our head coach in 2014, I have a feeling that another bad season may force Dan Snyder to change it up. If Gruden is let go at the end of the 2019 season, the hunt for a new coach could be an interesting one - although I feel we may have our next leader already on the staff in newly appointed offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell. Let’s assume for a minute that the front office is using 2019 as a “re-build year”. The re-build wouldn’t necessarily be a complete tear-down Wes Martin Jersey , but rather a re-model, focusing on acquiring younger play-making talent on both side of the ball. This re-model has already begun, and it started on the defensive side of the football and Bruce Allen and company have set out to build the Alabama Wall on defense. The Skins started to seriously address the defense when they selected Jonathan Allen inround one of the 2017 draft. They followed that up by selecting his former Alabama teammate in the first round of the 2018 draft. In a bold move halfway through last season, the Redskins claimed linebacker Reuben Foster, who had been cut by the San Francisco 49ers after another run-in with the law for Domestic Violence accusations (charges were later dropped). The Redskins feel Foster will be an integral part of this defense moving forward, as long as he can get his life on track. To continue in the Alabama tradition, the Skins made a bold move on the first day of free agency by signing former Giants and Crimson Tide safety Landon Collins to a mega-deal. Just 25 years old, Collins offers leadership, play-making ability and All-Pro talent to the back end of the defense. Youngsters like second year linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton and EDGE rusher Ryan Anderson help to round out the Alabama Wall on defense. There is also rumors that the Skins would like to bring back safety HaHa Clinton-Dix Womens Bryce Love Jersey , which would only strengthen that wall. If the foundation is built on defense, than the Italian Marble and gable roof are needed to complete the offense. This is where a quarterback and wide receiver/tight ends come into play. The Redskins desperately need a new franchise signal caller to build around. Case Keenum and Colt McCoy are helpful pieces, but they are only place-holders while the rest of the foundation is being set. In this latest mock draft, I’ve decided to finish building the house before I add the Italian Marble to the entrance way. It may take a year to complete, but the finished product will be worth the wait.2019 NFL Draft:*Redskins trade pick 15 to the New England Patriots for pick 32, 56 and 2020 second round pick (Patriots select Drew Lock with pick 15).

  In the immortal words of Dandy Don Meredith T. J. Watt Jersey , the Pittsburgh Steelers can turn out the lights because the AB party is over. All that is left to do is clean up the mess."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Latest NewsSteelers Film Room2018 NFL Draft AnalysisLatest NewsLatest NewsCommentaryThe Steelers’ partnership with Antonio Brown has mercifully come to an tumultuous endNew,53commentsIn the immortal words of Dandy Don Meredith, the Pittsburgh Steelers can turn out the lights because the AB party is over. All that is left to do is clean up the mess.EDTShareTweetShareShareThe Steelers’ partnership with Antonio Brown has mercifully come to an tumultuous endDerick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsFirst off, I really should offer some backstory to clear up any confusion for our younger readers. Don Meredith was an accomplished QB for the Dallas Cowboys back in the 60's who would go on to become a color analyst on Monday Night Football after his retirement from the NFL. I used to enjoy listening to Meredith due to his knowledgeable insights and exuberant personality, and the Monday Night match ups were highly anticipated at my house. Don's nickname was Dandy Don, going all the way back to his early playing days. Dandy Don was also famous for a particular phrase he would actually sing near the end of a game once the outcome had become apparent. Don would sing "Turn out the lights, the party's over." become Meredith's moniker and a familiar refrain at the end of many MNF telecast. I would happily sing along whenever the Steelers were the victors. Those are good memories.If Dandy Don was still among us, he would have warmed up the old vocal chords in the early Sunday morning hours when it was reported that the headbutting contest that had been going on all off season between the Steelers and Antonio Brown was coming to an end and a winner was emerging. Problem was the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't come out on top in this matchup.Antonio Brown has to be considered the winner because he got every thing he demanded, and more. This whole situation was carefully planned and executed to perfection by Antonio Brown, with super agent Drew Rosenhaus pulling the strings behind the scenes. Not only did he successfully orchestrate his departure from the Steelers franchise and the huge threat to his future targets and potential earnings known as JuJu Smith Schuster, but the man who had no guaranteed money left over the final three years of his Steelers contract suddenly is getting a whole new deal with huge guaranteed money that will make him the highest paid receiver in the league, again. You really can't make this stuff up, it is that hard to believe. AB said jump and all parties involved said "How high?"Far be it for me to ever deny a player getting paid and doing what he feels is in his best interest. Brown did just that, manipulating the situation to perfection. My only problem is with the tactics utilized to achieve his desired results. The damage done to the organization that he once professed his love for Jerome Bettis Jersey White , the disrespect shown toward multiple teammates that he once called brothers and went through the wars of the AFC North with, and finally the utter disappointment his behavior has caused a legion of Steelers fans that held him in high regard in a special place in their hearts can never be undone. I asked the same question last off season during the Le'Veon Bell negotiations. What price do you place on your legacy? That is a question that only the individual can answer. I feel certain the level of depravity displayed throughout this process will undoubtedly effect his Steelers legacy. Maybe I am wrong, and it appears that AB couldn't care less. But what happens if he doesn't prove to be as successful with the Raiders, struggles with injuries or chemistry with his future QBs, never wins a championship, and only plays at a high level for two or three more seasons? We do know, barring suspension or complete mental breakdown, that the precious guaranteed money will be there. That is great, but then what? Unless he changes his reckless behavior and extravagant lifestyle, that money won't last him forever.I am sure he doesn't want to end up a cautionary tale told to young players at the NFL rookie symposium. I can't imagine AB working in broadcasting unless he brushes up on the English language that he has appeared incapable of speaking lately. AB wants to be mentioned in the same breath as the GOAT Jerry Rice, the ultimate winner, but his actions and career trajectory are starting to have a familiar TO feel to them.There is no better legacy than to be a Steelers legend, and the long term value would be impossible to calculate. AB has managed to apply a value to his own legacy, for his sake I hope it proves worth it in the long run.The Steelers are left to do damage control. The rotund female has sung and the king has left the building. Funny thing is James Conner Jersey White , contrary to popular belief, the cupboard is far from bare. Actually the Steelers still have a potential Pro Bowl player at QB, RB, and WR. That is the same situation they were blessed with before James Conner and JuJu Smith Schuster came along a couple years ago.Suddenly Antonio Brown has become irreplaceable and the Steelers are doomed without him. If I recall correctly, teams win the Super Bowl every year without his services, and the Steelers never even reached the big game with him.There is work to be done moving forward this off season, especially with the defense, but all hope is not lost. The Steelers will move forward with a group of men who actually want to be Steelers. A successful free agency period and a strong draft class could propel the Steelers right back into contention, something they actually failed to accomplish last season with the immortal AB. Some playmakers on defense should be at the top of the Steelers shopping list.So to all my Steelers brethren around the world, keep your chins up. All is not lost.Now if you will excuse me, I need to answer the door. It appears Chicken Little is trying to tell me something. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert insists he would gladly welcome back Antonio Brown next season.If things don’t work out, Colbert has a plan for that, too.Colbert addressed the rampant rumors about Brown’s future Wednesday by saying he would only trade the Steelers’ star receiver if he gets equal value in return — and preferably to a team outside the AFC North.“Ideally, you’d want to trade him to somebody you’ll never play but that can’t happen because if you’re good enough to get to the Super Bowl you’ll have to play him anyway Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey ,” Colbert said while answering a hypothetical question. “The less you would play him the better. But if a team you play twice a year comes through with the best compensation, you have to weigh that into the discussions. We haven’t ruled out anybody.”What Colbert has ruled out is giving away one of the league’s top playmakers at a bargain price — even as some believe Brown’s price has continued to drop as he lobbies for a trade.Just last week, after Brown met with Steelers president Art Rooney II, Brown wrote on Twitter that the two agreed it was time to part ways.Colbert acknowledged Brown first asked whether he could post a photo with him next to Rooney.“I took that to be an indication of where he is right now,” Rooney said.But with Brown still seeking to play elsewhere and running back Le’Veon Bell expected to leave in free agency after sitting out all of last season in a contract dispute, Colbert doesn’t buy the notion the Steelers’ locker room has become dysfunctional.Rather, he continues to believe coach Mike Tomlin can help resolve any potential problems even as Colbert continues to listen to a growing list of trade offers. He declined to name any teams involved.“Antonio Brown is one of the best players in the NFL and we’d like to have him on the team,” Colbert said before addressing what he’d seek in a deal. “It would take significant compensation just to balance out the loss of a player of that value.”Brown has topped the 100-catch and 1,000-yard marks each of the past six seasons and has had at least 10 touchdown catches in five of those six seasons. The 30-year-old Brown led the league in receptions in 2014 and 2015, as well as yards receiving in 2014.
