Sources: #Seahawks LB Mychal Kendricks is believed to have torn his ACL. He’ll have an MRI to confirm, but a huge loss for Seattle as they march on into the playoffs.

Cleveland Browns have requested permission to interview Ravens' OC Greg Roman for their head-coaching vacancy, per source.

Smart move. Strengthen your team & weaken a divisional foe all in one fell swoop. Browns do already have the RB horses to dominate with a guy like Roman. I despise the Ravens, so I would like this hire for the Browns.

He might be a bit crazy but he hasn't beaten a kid or a woman.

True. He is just a bully.

a top 5 guard in the Nfl
But Bidwill would never be open to have him in his franchise

True. He is just a bully.

There has to be some real mental illness with him. Hopefully what ever he's being doing this year is something he can stick to.

#Seahawks

WR Jaron Brown suffered an MCL sprain last night, source said. They'll see how he progresses over the next couple days. Long trip to Philly for Sunday's playoff vs. the #Eagles.

True. He is just a bully.

And a racist IIRC.

The #Saints did end up signing a WR following their free agent workout last week... but not Antonio Brown. Tim White is signing to the #Saints practice squad.

You have to give Wentz and the Eagles some credit for over coming so many injuries.

Bears GM Pace says Trubisky is his QB for 2020.

I wanted to see the Bears make a trade for Cam Newton. I thought that would have been a good fit for both parties.

 

[Dr. Jones]

McCarthy would be awesome in NY.

On the new staff for #Redskins coach Ron Rivera:
— He’ll interview OC Kevin O’Connell for that same job, source said & O’Connell has a chance to stick. His work with QB Dwayne Haskins impressed.
— Jack Del Rio will be the new DC and will call plays. Rivera did it in Carolina.

PFT Defensive rookie of the year: Nick Bosa

Nick Bosa was the first defensive player off the board in last April’s draft and he never made the 49ers think twice about their decision to take him with the second overall pick.

Bosa missed the preseason because of an ankle injury, but recovered in time to open the year with a sack in a win over the Buccaneers. He’d go on to pick up six more sacks as the team began the year with eight straight wins, which had people talking about him as a potential defensive player of the year.

He’d only pick up two more sacks over the second half of the season and that buzz has died out, but Bosa has continued generating pressure and had nine quarterback hits over the final four weeks of the year. Those performances came without Dee Ford drawing attention at the other defensive end spot, which allowed defenses to devote more resources to slowing Bosa and also opened up chances for others in the front seven to make plays.

Bosa finished the year with 47 tackles, 25 quarterback hits, 16 tackles for loss, a forced fumble, an interception and two fumble recoveries to with his nine sacks. That productivity as part of one of the league’s stingiest defenses has made Bosa PFT’s choice as the defensive rookie of the year.

Bosa’s top competition for the top spot came from another pass rusher. Josh Allen had 10.5 sacks after being selected seventh overall by the Jaguars and formed a strong tandem with Yannick Ngakoue off the edge, although it will be short-lived if the team can’t come to terms on an extension with Ngakoue this offseason.

The first two linebackers selected in April were Devin White and Devin Bush and both showed well as rookies.

White missed three games with injuries while racking up 91 tackles, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, 2.5 sacks, an interception and two touchdowns for the Buccaneers. Bush tailed off after having four fumble recoveries and two interceptions in the first half of the Steelers season, but the overall package was one that should leave the Steelers confident about his future in their defense.

PFT Offensive rookie of the year: Kyler Murray

Heading into 2019, the questions surrounding Kyler Murray included whether he would play football or baseball on the professional level.
Murray said he was committed to football, which shifted the main question marks about him to his height and whether he was big enough to stand up to the rigors of playing quarterback in the NFL. The Cardinals weren’t put off by those concerns and made Murray the first overall pick in the draft.

The decision worked out well for them.

Murray threw for 3,722 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while completing 64.4 percent of his passes and making all 16 starts during his rookie season. Murray also ran for 544 yards and four touchdowns to become the second rookie to throw for at least 3,500 yards while running for at least 500 yards. Many of those yards came on designed runs as Murray showed a willingness to stay in the pocket that was also among the questions about him heading into the season.

Murray will need to throw downfield more in the years to come as he ranks near the bottom of the league in air yards per attempt in an offense that prized short throws, but he answered many of the questions that accompanied him from Oklahoma to the NFL.
All in all, Murray’s production in Arizona has led PFT to name him our offensive rookie of the year for 2019.

Murray was not the only strong contender for the prize. Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown finished second in the league in yards per catch and gained 778 receiving yards and scored six touchdowns once the team moved to Ryan Tannehill at quarterback after a 2-4 start to the year.
Raiders running back Josh Jacobs missed three of the final four games of the year with a shoulder injury, but still ran for 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns in his first NFL season. Eagles running back Miles Sanders came on strong at the end of the year to help his team win the NFC East and picked up over 1,300 yards from scrimmage.

All are worthy of great praise for their efforts this season, but Murray is our choice for the top offensive rookie.
