Four most overrated NFL teams plus Rams unveil new uniforms and sack record unofficially changes hands

Wiki Article

I'm not sure who in the organization is in charge of deciding when the team makes its uniform announcements, but whoever that person is, please give them a raise. A gigantic raise. Like, big enough raise that they'll be able to afford to live next to Oprah.The reason for this is because the Rams unveiled new uniforms on Tuesday and let me just say, I love July uniform announcements. For the past few years, teams have announced new uniforms in April and although I understand why -- they want to get the new uniforms out before the draft so all of their draft picks can model the new look -- the announcement ends up getting buried under all the other news going on in April. However, when you announce a new uniform in July, you get headlines everywhere, INCLUDING IN THIS NEWSLETTER.With that in mind, I propose that all announcements regarding new uniforms are made in July from now on. Also, in case you haven't figured it out, we'll be talking about the Rams' new uniform today. Alright, let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly Fernando Rodney Jersey reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To sign up, all you have to do is . 1. Today's show: Predicting the MVP for three different AFC teams in 2021The NFL only hands out one MVP award every year, but that doesn't mean we can't hand out a few more MVPs, so that's exactly what we did for Tuesday's episode of the Pick Six Podcast. This show featured Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson AND ME and the premise was simple: We each picked out one player who we think will be the MVP for their team this year. There was only one rule: We had to pick a player from an AFC team (We'll be covering the NFC tomorrow).Here's what we came up with and if you do not agree with Brinson's, :Wilson: ( ). Mayfield proved last year that he can be a good quarterback and if he can make the jump to great this year, the Browns could be a Super Bowl contender. To give you an idea of how much Mayfield means to the team, just consider this: The Browns went 2-5 last season when he completed under 60% of his pa ses, but 9-0 when he completed 60% or more.Breech: ( ). I don't think Julio will nece sarily be the best offensive player on this team, but I think he could be the most valuable player. The Titans offense dealt with more eight-in-the-box Jose Canseco Jersey looks last season than any other team in the NFL, which means opposing defenses were only interested in one thing: Stopping the run. With Jones now in Tenne see, he'll likely be facing man-to-man coverage if teams continue to do that, which means Julio could have a big year. On the other hand, if teams drop more defenders into coverage to stop Jones, that should open up some monstrous running lanes for . That's a win-win situation.Brinson: ( ). Brinson is on the Chargers bandwagon and a big reason he's on it is because of Ekeler. Does it make sense? Kind of. If is going to avoid a sophomore slump, Brinson believes that the Chargers quarterback is going to have to make sure to utilize Ekeler as often as po sible. If Herbert has a big year, the Chargers should be a playoff team and the thought proce s here is that Herbert WILL have a big year as long as Ekeler is in the backfield.To listen to today's entire conversation -- and to follow the podcast -- .

NFL single-season sack record just unofficially changed handsThe most controversial single-season record in the NFL is probably the sack record, which is held by Michael Strahan (22.5). For one, many people feel that Brett Favre back in 2001 to help Strahan set the record by just 0.5 sacks over former record-holder Mark Gastineau. Also, the NFL has only been recording sacks as an official statistic since 1982, so players before that year haven't been considered for the sack Brett Anderson Jersey record.The guys over at Pro Football Reference decided to fix that second problem and by doing so, they also fixed the first problem. For the past few years, PFR has been meticulously going through old game footage and newspaper accounts to get an accurate count of the number of sacks that players had before 1982. What :Al Baker is your new unofficial single-season sack champion. According to PFR's numbers, the former defensive end set an NFL record with 23 sacks during his ROOKIE season in 1978.Deacon Jones now has three of the top nine single-season sack performances of all-time. Jones racked up 21.5 or more sacks a total of three times in his career, making him the only player in NFL history who has done that multiple times (no one has even done it twice). The crazy part is that all three of Jones' big sacks seasons came when the NFL was playing just 14 games. According to Chris Bassitt Jersey the new numbers, Jones registered 173.5 sacks in his career, which would be the third most of all-time if the NFL recognized it. Jones played for the Rams, Chargers and Washington during a 14-year career.Two Hall of Famers crack the top 10 list for most career sacks. Thanks to the new numbers, former Rams star Jack Youngblood has now been credited with 151.5 sacks while Alan Page -- who played on the famed Purple People Eater's defense in Minnesota -- has been credited with 148.5 sacks. According to the PFR numbers, Youngblood has the sixth-most sacks of all-time while Page has the eighth-most.To find out how PFR pulled this off and which players benefitted the most, . 3. Most overrated teams in the NFLLast week, we covered in the NFL heading into the 2021 season, so this week, it only makes sense that we cover some of the most overrated teams.If you're wondering what makes a team overrated, that's a fantastic question and I'm going to let our Tyler Sullivan answer that since he put this list together. Basically, Sullivan looked at the over/under totals for the season along with each team's Super Bowl odds to find out which teams are being overrated. After crunching all the numbers, Sullivan came up with four teams: : : : Rams: Sullivan is clearly mocking me by including the Rams on this list, because right now, I'm 73% sure that I'm going to pick them to win the Super Bowl.Anyway, if you want a more detailed explanation for why each of team ended up on the overrated list, then you're going to want to . 4. Rams unveil new throwback uniformAlthough the Rams made our overrated list, these uniforms definitely aren't overrated. The team released a white "modern throwback" uniform that they'll be wearing for three games this year (The Rams were the only team in the NFL that didn't have a white uniform last year and that's because they wore a "bone" colored uniform instead. You can see the difference ). As for the new whites, here's the description of the uniform from the Rams' website: The new uniforms areBasically, the Rams have always been succe sful in these uniforms so I think I'm not 76% sure I'm picking them to win the Super Bowl instead of 73%.The Rams will wear these uniforms in three different primetime games:Week 1: vs. (Sunday night)Week 9: vs. Titans (Sunday night)Week 10: at 49ers (Monday night) To check out a full picture of the new uniforms, Mike Fiers Jersey .

Top defensive players under the age of 25 Once you hit age 25 in the NFL, you're basically over the hill, which is why we decided to rank the top players in the league under the age of 25. OK, so you're probably not over the hill quite yet, but it is interesting to see all the up-and-coming stars in the NFL who haven't hit 25 yet.This ranking, which was put together by Tyler Sullivan, only has two rules: Rookies aren't on the list and to qualify, a player can't turn 25 before the start of the 2021 season (Any player who is 24 or younger on Sept. 9 qualifies).

Rapid-fire roundupIt's been a busy 24 hours in the NFL and since it's nearly impo sible to keep track of everything that happened, I went ahead and put together a roundup for you. NFL suffers setback in court. Khris Davis Jersey The NFL is currently being sued by the city of St. Louis over the Rams' decision to move to Los Angeles and things aren't going so well for the NFL right now. During a court se sion on Monday, the judge for Roger Goodell and four NFL owners (Stan Kroenke, owner Jerry Jones, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, owner John Mara). This basically means St. Louis will presumably have full acce s to each of their financial records, which is kind of crazy, because NFL owners are notoriously secretive about their financials. The best way to prevent this from happening would be a settlement, which is something the NFL is probably seriously considering at this point. gives his take on the Aaron Rodgers situation. Manning is still dialed into the front office in Denver and after watching how things have played out with Aaron Rodgers over the past couple of months, the former Broncos QB doesn't think Rodgers is : "My gut is he's not coming to Denver. My gut is Denver's gonna have or be their quarterback. At this point, you gotta kinda know what your plan is. You can't be having a new quarterback three weeks before the season."Long-time NFL a sistant coach Alex Gibbs pa ses away.The 80-year-old Gibbs from a stroke. Gibbs spent 27 years as an NFL a sistant with his Robbie Grossman Jersey best work coming in Denver (1995 thru 2003), where he won two Super Bowls for the Broncos as their offensive line coach. He also coached for the , Chargers, , , , and during his nearly three decades in the league. thinks can win a Super Bowl.No this year about the Vikings than Anthony Barr. The veteran linebacker thinks this could be the year that the Vikings win their first Super Bowl ever. "I really do believe that we have a Super Bowl-winning ," Barr said on KMSP. "Obviously there's a lot of steps to get to that point, and I've been through good seasons and bad seasons with this team. But every time we've had a tough year, we've always bounced back. I really feel like this year is going to be special." The only person besides Barr who thinks the Vikings might win the Super Bowl is our NFL editor here, Joel Magaraci. I think the Vikings could be good this year, but not "win the Super Bowl" good.
