“Jason Witten is my idol” Jimmy Graham said

Over the years, we have heard many teammates angry said tight end Jason Witten in Dallas Cowboys. This past season, we hear talk about Witten in Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray as a player and male effect on them. We heard said Tony Romo, Witten is probably the best cowboy. Jason Garrett called Witten the best tight end in football for the past decade.

In addition to Thursday, I put the New Orleans saints tight end Jimmy Graham professional bowl after practice and asked about Witten. In practice, Witten, added to the professional bowl as damage instead of Denver Julius snapshots of the Thomas graham in the first-team. I want to know if it is graham delay tight end who will be in the first ten bowl.

"I told him that was the first thing, you know, he is my idol, has always been," graham said. "I try to imitate him to do everything in the field and the field. Not only did he do on the pitch, he is always consistent in the past, but he does in his community. So I tried to follow his as he is a person, just because of his personal type."

Graham and Witten are in your bowl. They share the same agent, Sexton Jimmy. They how to play tight end is different. Graham is more athletic, almost a wide receiver position. Witten is more traditional tight end. "He is what I try I know I will be every year," said graham. "I for the tight end type, he is."

Todd Bowles comes back to Dolphins

New York Jets hired Todd Bowles, as their new manager on Tuesday night. This surely presents a storyline to keep an eye on with the rival Miami Dolphins. According to the alliance manager position openings become open with them. Balls, has a unique history and Miami. He is a team of secondary coach from 2008 to 2011, and the former head coach Tony Sparano highest and most trusted aides. When Sparano fired 13 games to the 2011 season, balls to take over the team as a temporary coach, 2-1 in the last three games.

Bowles clearly has the player's attention and respect, and who lost to continue movement during the 6-10 seasons. He is so impressive, the dolphins boss Stephen Ross twice interview coach, balls, and balls, become a finalist along with the San Diego chargers dolphins and the current coach Joe Philbin coach mike himself. In Miami, it is very interesting place. Ross, choose Philbin balls, three years ago. Balls, finally got a chance to, now, he is the manager, but it with rival aircraft playing Miami twice a year.

At the same time, Philbin into the 2015 season has become the focus of attention. He has been unable to live up to its promise. Ross champion football team for Miami. Instead, Philbin just 23 to 25 in three seasons, the playoffs. He has never got a winning more than half of the season.

It is much too early to say whether Bowles is head-coaching material. But apparently believes that his potential. If the balls run successfully in the eastern part of New York and Asian football confederation and Philbin continue to struggle, it will be a bright spot in Miami coach's decision in 2012.

Ryan "evaluate" Bears"scouting department

The 14 years in New Orleans to teach new, general manager of the Chicago Bears Ryan Pace the importance of building a successful franchise through the draft, the lifeblood of any National Football League organization. Although ex-general manager Phil Emery hit on recent draft picks such as Alshon Jeffery, Kyle Long and Kyle Fuller, organization has experienced too many miss, Jerry Angelo can be traced back to the time of the last few years. Senior bowl and the NFL combine right around the corner, speed must be swept, around college scouts first hired by emery and Angelo.

Speed will have enough time to implement the NFL draft before his college scouts grading system? "I'd like to," said pace. "To be honest, I just find out where my office this morning, the last three innocent feeling one day, but in the end, I really want to achieve our system here. So let me very comfortable. I think it is successful, I excited to bring new ideas Bear."

Turnover in the personnel department is, in fact, to a new general manager, however, Angelo emery retain almost all college scouts when he rose to power in 2012. Emery also enlarged the department recruitment own many people still to determine the length of time according to the contract. The harsh reality is that speed may want to put his own people after the draft, but before any decisions, faster time face to face with a member of the personnel department.

"These are my assessment," general pace said. "It's fair to say that I have to know the people in the building. Have a good man. In this building on this list are good people. To me the first step is to assess and evaluate staff here before I make those decisions." This is what I believe: I believe that continued success you have to pass the draft to build your team, you must believe that the development of the player. This is very important. We will explore ways to get the best players here. A year can be changed. In a perfect world, you become free agent acquisition players, allowing you to draft the best player available in the draft.

Redskins interview Wade Phillips

Reds will Wade Phillips empty coordinator job interview, it is not surprising considering his organization relationship. Phillips, confirmed the news via text message. Redskins executive advisor A.J. Phillips and Smith has been contact, according to a lot of news, it is said that is still too high for him. Phillips is a defensive coordinator in buffalo when Smith is a reconnaissance, and professional personnel supervisor.

Wes is the son of Philip Redskins tight end coach. Phillips, a 67 - year - old long career as a coach in six different teams, three times the interim head coach. He has always been a defensive coordinator for the seven teams. Although phillips did not work in the current reds manager Bruce Allen, Allen is high on him.

Rob Ryan's future is uncertain

New Orleans Saints have begun to make the offseason changes, Coach Sean Payton pledged earlier in the week, ESPN sources confirmed that the new team is three assistant, including long-term tight end coach terry Malone. The NFL network was first reported, Malone, receiver coach Henry Ellard assistant coach Andre Curtis and secondary way out.

There is still no status about defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, each source. It is unclear whether Ryan, a positive sign. Ryan's future is the most pressing problem for a team of the saints completed 7-9, ranked 31 yards allows a season in the league after he help them ranked fourth in the code to allow. Ryan players enthusiastically for the entire season, Payton resolutely denied any the rift between the two last month in Ryan's praise of passion and professional ethics. But on Monday Payton also stressed that the saints will make a major change for each element of the program, comprehensive reform, and several adjustment between things.

"We should not only to fill holes and threw the ball out, next year," Payton said. Malone's leave Payton is a sign of how serious about these changes. Malone is Payton original part of the employees in 2006, when he came to New Orleans. Malone has long before college assistant, including nine years in Michigan offensive coordinator, tight end offensive line coach and the coach.

It's not clear why Malone was open. Obviously the most high-profile players in his position are Jimmy Graham, he next year, compared with his high standards. Graham's rise has been, however, Malone's watch.

Thomas to start

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Aries told a news conference on Monday, he tends to from quarterback rookie Logan Thomas on Sunday against San Francisco, then after a few minutes at a local radio station announced Thomas does nod in the regular season. Aries people said: "we go to Logan movement 98.7 in Arizona.

Thomas played only two games this season, has replaced the Stanton in Denver in week 5 and an ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. He finished the 1 9 ball this season 81 yards and landing. Arians, says Ryan Lindley's decision is not a reflection of grade three quarterback on Sunday evening, when he finished 18 216 yards of 44 by 35-6 loss to Seattle.

"I think we need to find for the future in the playoffs, if come," said Aries. "This is my job to make sure that we cover every base. I think can not reflect Ryan, only Logan chance to prove what he can do."

Stanton will not choose to Arizona in San Francisco, said Aries. Stanton, who suffered a right knee injury against the St. Louis Rams in Week 15, after a setback, his knee is swollen Thursday's practice.

Aaron Rodgers play the calf

Aaron Rodgers was stunned; he put his left leg calf muscle early to Tampa bay buccaneers in Sunday's game. He thinks all the liquid to drink to fight flu a few days before the game will protect him from any muscle. But Rodgers felt the second series of the green bay packers 20-3 win on Sunday, affect his rest of the game.

"I am poor and flu over the past few days, that's why I'm surprised I hurt my leg, because I like no other moisture," Rogers said. "I have a great hydration test this week, before the game is to drink lots of water. Unfortunately, the mavericks give up me."

Rodgers slowly out of the locker room after the game on Sunday afternoon but doesn’t think the damage for next Sunday's match will be a factor for Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, in the NFC north title will be decided. "Early to give 100% guarantee, but it will need a lot of holding my game," Rodgers said.

Some members of the Packers offense said they are not even aware that Rogers put his calf. However, coach Mike McCarthy said he changed his play - calling plan to leave Rodgers pocket more than usual.

Wilson's change agent

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, get a new contract after this season, it is changing agents, according to a memo NFL team sent on Wednesday.

Anderson in the first half of the year at the end of the Qualcomm Stadium. The broncos announced that manning a thigh injury, but he is also considered received intravenous fluids. Manning returned in the second half.

In third - and - play goal line 1 yards from the charger, Anderson initially on the play, As he started to run left, Manning tried to block San Diego linebacker Donald Butler.

Anderson will initially have touchdown officials on the court. Then, manning the broncos' bench and pointed out the channel of visitor's locker room area.

Manning and left the site, the tunnel. Bullock Osweiler in the Broncos quarterback eventually have half. He put the two incomplete, is the second grounding deliberately punishment.

No more bench time for Sam Shields

Clearly no one is willing to use Sam shield bonus, but is far-fetched told him to leave early Monday night against Atlanta falcons in addition to the bench for processing. The green bay packers Mike McCarthy said it for a spin, but it will need to shield back into the game. On the contrary, he looked at the last from the sideline 21 defensive performance. Davon House finishes the game in his place, away from the shield on the bench. "There is a lot of experience of my head," shields said Wednesday. "This is depressed. You don't want to stand by. Coach decided. He made a good decision put House in there. The house has made some great plays. I will be ready to Buffalo.

This is a difficult shield, only a small number of representatives in practice before the game. Those snaps came the day before the game, when Shields was finally cleared from the concussion he sustained in the previous game against the New England Patriots. He had to warm up before the game like mini - practice make up he missed a week. "I needed a couple reps," hill said. "It might have helped. It happens. I was there. I come back on the pitch; this is the most important part of."

Shield can't completely blame Julio Jones 11-catch, 259 yards of a day. According to ProFootball, the shield allows three Jones 66 yards of capture, including 22-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Even if the house is not dealing with a shoulder injury, packers isn't going too permanently on the shield, their $39 million team in March signed a four-year contract. Shield is not listed injury report this week, though missed Wednesday's practice and might in buffalo is a long game on Sunday. "He is a young player, he is our people," McCarthy said Tuesday's shield.

Patriots Quarterback Philip Rivers

Quick observation of quarterback Philip Rivers and how he first suggested loss at the San Diego chargers New England Patriots 14 weeks. Do not agree with by protecting and against one of the best defenders in the NFL, rivers have trouble the ball downfield for New England.

River is 2-of-10 through more than five yards in front of travel. River two complete this throws the fewest in the game because he became a full-time in 2006 starter. Three by acting as the charger completed 20 yards. Rivers was sacked four times and pressured another seven by New England’s defensive front, so he is never comfortable enough pocket in order to have time to connect thrown in the deep.

Darrelle Revis also did a good job to take river's favorite targets, Keenan Allen. The second-year receiver was targeted just three times, finishing with two catches for 3 yards.

The charger will face another positive defensive line and talented secondary Denver broncos to Qualcomm stadium this weekend. It will be important offensive line do better in the protection and the charger has a better plan in explosion against Denver.

Cliff Avril And Michael Bennett Working

After a bag of recession earlier this season, a Seattle Seahawks seven bags and 13 quarterback in the past two games. A small change, help defense coordinator Dan Quinn choose, Avril and Michael Bennett adjacent edge in some situation. "This is working for us," Avril said. "I think we have a good feeling when we are next to each other, how to play. I'm sure I would like to crazy man next to me."

Avril has five sacks of this season, but three in the last two games. Bennett also has five bag this season, including the 49 ers of Thanksgiving. Lined with two pass - rushers forces attacked forward the choice of their poison.

It is said: "we together like those guys Seahawks coach Pete Carroll." We try to make their chemical work together, so that they can make use of what they see and feel. They can be interdependent with each other. We have been trying to let those guys adjacent many, not all the time, but enough to try and make use of it. Bennet, "said carol sometimes surprise Avril and he did not expect, but most of the time of its work.

"Michael is a wild rabbit," Carroll said. "He and his blunt everywhere. Sometimes it's hard to control him, but the idea is to let them so they create chemistry."

Cutler Bears part of the problem

Jay Cutler in his post-match media session wore a sailor beard, a gray turtleneck and Marine sport coats. This is an appropriate navigation to find the captain of a sinking ship, S.S. Trestman. Cutler is neither a distress are not in a hurry the bear's latest Teamwide shame, can defeat to Dallas on Thursday evening, effectively decided after three quarters, but he still can use a life preserver. Bears can use a new general manager, the new coach, a better defense and a young quarterback in cutler apprentice over the next two years to learn what to do and what not to do.

And Cutler is rich in money, family and hair, his career is death a terrible loss. This is a man who knows the loss of a thing or two, and even his surprise this season is getting much worse. Cutler asked, this season was disappointing, and he did not hesitate to answer. "This is higher," he said. "This is the no. 1, I think. Expect to enter this one is extremely high, since the first game, we have not done enough, a few weeks. So increase. That is to say, we can't cash. We have to continue to work hard to build on this and find a way to get better and better every week."

Fortunately, their week set you up for disappointment. Coach Marc Trestman imported into "repair cutler," is a sophomore of bankruptcy, and Phil emery, self-confidence, general manager of hire for attacking talent, looks overmatched in this work. No player and talent level makeup is flawed. All comments we hear from people at the top, blind chatter.
