While there's still a ways to go, we're slowly but surely seeing the opinion of quarterback Jared Goff changing a bit among the national media. We've come so far that we even have someone considering him an MVP candidate.That person is , who listed Goff among her dark-horse candidates for Most Valuable Player in 2024. Battista even says that Goff has "ascended into the top level of quarterbacks."And she would be right. In the last two years, Goff ranks second in pa sing yards, Marlon Davidson Jersey third in pa sing touchdowns, 10th in completion rate and third in yards per game. Adding to that, he has one Pro Bowl nod in that span.Here's everything Battista had to say about Goff being a po sible candidate for MVP:The Lions broke through in 2023, winning the NFC North and gettingthiscloseto winning the NFC Championship Game and going to the Super Bowl, in large part because Goff has ascended into the top level of quarterbacks. He had the best completion percentage of his career (67.3) Frank Darby Jersey and threw 30 touchdown pa ses to just 12 interceptions. What gives Goff, who just signed a, a real chance to sneak into the MVP race, though, is whatdidnthappen this offseason: His offensive coordinator did not leave. Ben Johnson was the hottest of hot head-coaching candidates Tyeler Davison Jersey , but hefor another year, giving the Lions and Goff rare continuity for a top-five offense -- teams in that stratosphere usually watch play-callers go through the revolving door on their way to the top job. With receiverpoised toafter an offseason free of injury recovery or gambling suspension, and withlocked in with a, Goff could finally put himself in the conversation as among the games very best.While there are still plenty of people out there who Russell Gage Jersey would scoff at the idea of Goff winning MVP, it is very much in the realm of po sibility, partly because he's set to be on one of the best teams in the NFL this season.But big production is part of the equation, also, and Goff is capable of that on one of the best offenses in the NFL.The Lions signal-caller is no stranger to putting up MVP-caliber yardage, as he's Isaiah Oliver Jersey thrown for 4,500 yards or more three times during his career, including two years over 4,600 yards. He's also tallied 30 or more touchdowns twice, although he'll likely need more than the career-high 32 he threw in 2018 to seal the deal.The bottom line: if Goff can just step his game up slightly in 2024 and the Lions deliver on the type of regular season everyone expects, he'll very much be in the conversation for the league's highest honor.

NFC South burning questions for 2020 Tom Brady Drew Brees define divisional race in their 40s
By sharonorn, 2025-04-20
Perhaps no division has undergone more dramatic change this offseason than the NFC South. and Ron Rivera are gone from Carolina. and are in Tampa. The let go of and signed . John Reid Jersey The somehow created cap space out of thin air and traded up in the draft multiple times.OK so that last one isn't actually different at all. But still, it's fun. The whole division is pretty fun. Let's dig in on the burning questions that will define each team's season.Falcons: Can the defense stay healthy, get back on track, and save Dan Quinn's job (again)?Not all that long ago, the Falcons rode one of the NFL's best offenses to the Super Bowl, but that offense was supported by a defense that approached league average for most of the season and reached a level far higher than that down the stretch. Given all the youth and athleticism on hand, it seemed like a unit on the rise. Instead, the defense has been beset by injuries in each of the past three seasons, and the performance has dropped off dramatically.The Atlanta offense should again be strong in 2020, but the Falcons won't be able to compete in a loaded division if the defense doesn't put up more than the token resistance that has become a staple over the past few years. Atlanta Drew Lock Jersey cut bait on and , but used its first two draft picks on defenders (A.J. Terrell and Marlon Davidson) and signed Jr. with the plan of at least shoring things up on that side of the ball. It took a midseason switch of play-callers for this defense to even resemble an NFL-caliber unit last season, and a similarly-slow start probably won't be acceptable after Quinn (seemingly) narrowly escaped being canned.: Can the offense overcome one of the league's worst defenses getting even worse?Speaking of bad defenses ... yikes. Carolina finished last season ranked 25th in defensive DVOA, then saw its two best defenders retire () and leave in free agency (). The Panthers spent most of their free-agent capital on changes to the offense, swapping out Cam Newton for , signing , trading for , and handing a monster extension.They came into the draft barely having enough starter-quality players to field a defense, so it was notable but not all that surprising when the Panthers used all seven of their draft picks on defensive players. should help turn around what was the league's worst run defense last season, but if you're basing your defense around stopping the run in 2020, you're already likely on the wrong path. The secondary is incredibly thin, even after the Panthers devoted four draft picks to it (, Jr., , and ), and the pa s rush is pretty barren beyond .So, can Bridgewater, McCaffrey, Anderson, D.J. Moore, and overcome what is likely to be a poor defense and a sub- Gerald Everett Jersey par offensive line in order to make this team respectable? Or is the not-really-a-rebuild likely to look far more like an actual rebuild by the time the year is done?Saints: Does have one last run in his right arm?The Saints' last three seasons have ended miserably. The Minneapolis Miracle. The mi sed pa s interference call on . The upset at the hands of their old foes, the . It's entirely po sible New Orleans was one of the two or three best teams in the league in each of those seasons, and yet the Saints came away with zero Super Bowl appearances, let alone a Lombardi Trophy.Heading into what is almost surely Drew Brees' final profe sional season, there is no team in the league more all-in than the Saints. They brought in veterans like and . They signed as their backup QB and gave double-digit million dollars a year to make sure he didn't leave. They traded up in the draft three different times to land their player of choice. With an aging QB and a roster that may never have a better shot than right now, it makes sense. The only question left is whether they can get it done.: What's next for Todd Bowles's defense?Tampa's defense was surprisingly one of the best in Derrick Coleman Jersey the NFL last season, so Year 2 of the Todd Bowles era should be an interestiBuccaneers: Uh, so, Poona Ford Jersey Tom Brady?OK seriously, folks. Tom Brady is on the Bucs. I don't know what to do with my hands.There are bound to be questions and mi steps when it comes to mixing Brady's skill set and Bruce Arians' offense, but there is enough talent on hand to offset them, and more. How the targets shake out among Brady's top options is an open question, though seems like a favorite to be Brady's No. 1 guy due to his role in the slot. However, Brady hasn't really had a guy to whom he could just chuck the ball down the field in quite a while, so he may make some throwback magic with more often than you'd think.With Gronkowski, O.J. Howard and , the Bucs will always have a quality option at tight end on the field, and the draft pick of gives them a high-upside No. 3 wideout as well. Again, the talent is here. The question is how it all meshes together.
has left the Steel City, but could the defensive wizard wind up coaching elsewhere next season?NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Josh Reynolds Jersey NFL GameDay Morning that caught the by surprise, per sources involved in the situation.While some in the organization were clear that LeBeau could stay as long as he wanted, the longtime coach thought it was time to go, Rapoport was Bud Dupree Jersey told. It's believed that LeBeau, 77, wanted to depart alongside veterans such as cornerback and safety , who are unlikely to be back with Pittsburgh in 2015.The logical heir apparent for LeBeau is Keith Butler, who the tried to hire away last offseason. The blocked the move, perhaps paving the way for Butler -- the team's long-tenured linebackers coach Bobby Hart Jersey -- to take over Pittsburgh's coordinating duties.As for LeBeau, his future remains in question. Rapoport noted that both the and Elijah Molden Jersey have emerged as the most likely landing spots if the coach takes another job.

Almost 3,000 miles away from Britain, a vast city lays engulfed by the snow-capped Alborz Mountains. Home to one of footballs fiercest rivalries, Tehran is widely headlined as a city Mark Gilbert Jersey embroiled in debates over nuclear armament and terrorism. Liberal values are denounced, and alcohol is illegal. The nightclubbing section of the Lonely Planet guidebook reads as just two words; Dream on. But beyond all of the diplomatic i sues, there is something that matters much, much more to Iranian citizens. Football.The Persian League is host to eighteen clubs, but sixteen of them hide in the shadows. Only two draw emphatic media attention, their support base extending not just among the cities fifteen million inhabitants, but worldwide. If you are a football fan in Iran, it is almost given that you support Persepolis or Esteghal. Cast your mind back to 1968. Martin Luther King was a sa sinated. The Vietnam War was ongoing. Yet amidst all of the political drama, a heated feud was about to unfoldTaj FC, who later became known as Esteghal, had a very public rivalry with Shahin FC, who in turn had strong a sociations with Persepolis. So when Shahin folded due to poor relations with Irans governing body, it only seemed right to the Esteghal followers to transfer their battle for greatne s with a club they hated and hated with a pa sion. Perhaps the major reason for their hatred was their difference in morals and opinions. Persepolis was primarily viewed as a working- JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey cla s club, whereas Esteghal were supported by the upper cla s of the Iranian society. The working-cla s envied the posh, hence the upper-cla s hatred for the commoners.Esteghal Steven Sims Jersey fans described as ten times better than the Kop End.As their feelings became mutual, and the rivalry grew in stature, the nature of the matches became tenser on the eye. Occasionally, rubbish was hurled and seats ripped out, with fans keen to signal their vented anger to the opposition. But that was only occasionally. On the other hand, fights and pitch invasions consistently occur, as well as the destruction of public property. Tehran is not a good place to go on holiday on the day of the Sorkhabi derby.Tickets do not go on sale until 5:30 in the morning. By 10:00, its a 95,000 sell-out, making it one of the most significant derbies in the world, let alone Asia. Ever since 1995, government big-wigs have stopped Iranian officials from taking centre stage to stop both supporters and players suspicions of bias and match-rigging. Until this year, that is. When it was announced that Mohsen Torky would officiate the crucial encounter, a quote from a Persepolis publication said that he better have locked his sister up somewhere safe. Dont take this lightly, though.Mohsen Torky rather him than meThe ugliest notable occasion between the two sides took place in late December, 2000. Sensitive enough after Mehdi Hasheminasab had swapped Persepolis Rashaad Coward Jersey for Esteghal in pre-season, half of the ground was incensed when the diminutive midfielder put Esteghal 2-1 up with the four minutes left. But wild celebrations endued when Ali Karimi equalised in injury time, until, after constant insultations, Parviz Broumand and Payan Rafat did their most convincing Lennox Lewis impre sions, leaving Rafat sporting a black eye. A ma s brawl ensued and later, the clubs reputations were tarnished further when hoards of hooligans went on the rampage. No le s Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey than 250 buses and shops were destroyed, whilst six players and sixty fans were arrested for their behaviour.No, this is not a war. This is post-match Persepolis fans.Statistics-wise, Ali Parvin is seen as a legend by Persepolis fans for his forty-two notable performances in the clashes, as is Safar Iranpak for his crucial seven goals. But despite the players undisputed talent and sheer determination, it is the fans who usually take centre stage. Ask an Iranian whether they would rather stay at home, or watch the derby. Im sure you could gue s their response.
Mike Williams Joey Bosa injured during Chargers inconsequential Week 18 game vs. Broncos prompting backlash
By sharonorn, 2025-04-20
One of the great push-and-pull questions in the NFL is resting starters vs. playing them to avoid rust in meaningle s matchups. The Chargers, confronted with that question in Week 18 on Sunday, appear to have chosen poorly.With the No. 5 seed in the AFC locked up following the Ravens' lo s to the Bengals in the early block, the Chargers elected to play their starters against the Broncos. As a result, Brandon Staley and company have found themselves being forced to play the waiting game for injury updates.Mike Williams -- who has mi sed five games this year -- and Joey Bosa -- who played in just four games heading into Sunday -- both exited the game Rondale Moore Jersey early.For Williams it was a back injury that left him questionable to return (the broadcast showed him carted off and helped into the locker room).MORE:Mike Williams (back) is questionable to return. Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) Bosa, meanwhile, was brought off the field in the first half after playing an outstanding half.To make matters worse, linebacker Kenneth Murray was also declared questionable with what the Pat Tillman Jersey team called a "stinger."Kenneth Murray Jr. (stinger) is questionable to return. Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) Williams, for his part, He's due for more tests Monday that could determine his status for the wild card game against the Jaguars.The move to play starters after playoff positioning was already determined was met with criticism on social media.Why are the Chargers playing guys like Herbert and Mike Williams in a meaningle s game when they know damn well every player on their team is made of gla s? Patrick Allen (@RPatrickAllen) Im confused. Mr Analytics Brendon Staley is still playing his starters in a meaningle s game. Why? If Mike Williams doesnt play next week he has some explaining to do Michael Lombardi (@mlombardiNFL) Unle s the analytics say injuring Joey Bosa and Mike Williams are Josh Jones Jersey good for their wildcard matchup idk what the hell Brandon Staley is doing today Craig Horlbeck (@craighorlbeck) CBS just explained that Staley said this week if you rest guys and lose and then lose next week in playoffs that people will then say you shouldnt have rested guys. Not people who know anything. And since when do NFL coaches make decisions based on what people will say? Jay Posner (@sdutPosner) Ahead of Week 18, head coach Brandon Staley indicated he wasn't going to rest starters, and was true to his word.Our approach is definitely going to get shot to win this ballgame and play as well as we can play heading into the playoffs. I think that theres certainly an advantage to be in the No. 5-seed for re-seeding , from where I stand, so were going to try and get there. Then, the case-by-case nature of the players, I think that that is the approach that were going to take, in terms of whether or not to A.J. Green Jersey sit them.I think that going into the playoffs, you have to be playing football to get to where you want to go, so were going to try and maximize our group heading into the playoffs, for sure.With that being said, the Chargers' spot was locked at No. 5, which e sentially made this game meaningle s from a standings perspective."We were trying to compete in the game," "And we only have 48 guys on the team that are active for the game. So we wanted to make sure that they went a good ways in this football game and competed at a high level. And then when we felt like it was right for them to get out of the game then that's what we were gonna do. Slowly phase them out so that we could get them ready for next week."When asked who put the players out there, Staley didn't shirk responsibility. "It's definitely my decision," he said.With Justin Herbert specifically, who played through three quarters, Staley defended the choice. "I believe that Justin played the right amount," he said. "I think when you look acro s the league at the other teams who are playing in the playoffs and what they did this last week, I think you'll see a lot of high-level players playing in the football games."Clearly the Chargers weren't comfortable resting on their laurels for this game, but with a game against the Jaguars looming Markus Golden Jersey next week, if any of these three players mi s time it could be catastrophic for L.A. The injuries occurring in a game that ultimately has no bearing on the standings just adds insult to injury for a Chargers team that has battled injuries all season.
Ralf Rangnick delivers update on Edinson Cavanis future at Manchester United
By sharonorn, 2025-04-20
Ralf Rangnick has revealed that Edinson Cavani promised to stay at Manchester United until the end of the season amid growing Barcelona links.During an interview in the build-up to the Red Devils FA Cup third-round showdown against Aston Villa, the interim bo s clarified the Uruguayans future at Old Trafford.I told him that if it was up to me, I would want him to stay, Rangnick said, as relayed by .I had a conversation with him on Thursday . He came into my office and we spoke for almost half an hour and Rudy Gobert Jersey he told me he will definitely stay and would want to stay until the end of the season.Not only because I told him that he should stay or has to stay, he did it on his own behalf and he told me that I can rely on him to stay until the end of the season and give his very best and be a role model for the young players.If he should play from the start, hes available and hes happy to play.Even if hes not playing, he will be trying to be the best Karl Malone Jersey po sible role model for the other players, and for me, this is good news.Cavani experienced mixed fortunes under former bo s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, leading to speculation about the 34-year-olds desire to sever ties with Man United.However, Rangnicks arrival at the helm in November has performed a U-turn on the veteran strikers situation, throwing him a lifeline in Manchester.Since the German tacticians takeover, Ricky Rubio Jersey the all-time Paris Saint-Germain top scorer has clawed his way back into the Red Devils starting line-up following a nightmarish start to the season under Solskjaer.After salvaging a point for United at Newcastle United in the penultimate round of the 2021 Premier League fixtures, the ex-Napoli star has been handed back-to-back league starts for the first time this season.Cavanis virtues critical to Rangnicks tacticsRangnicks preferred 4-2-2-2 system requires the presence of an out-and-out striker, able to play with their backs turned to the oppositions goal, which suits Cavani perfectly.In addition to his scoring prowe s, the Georges Niang Jersey Uruguay international is a genuine target man, with his aerial strength and physical attributes off the charts in Man Uniteds attacking department.Therefore, it is not surprising that Rangnick wants to keep hold of Cavani going into the second half of the season, especially given the Red Devils inability to land a new top-cla s striker in January.United remain firmly in the race to sign Boru sia Dortmund superstar Erling Braut Haaland.But any attempt to lure the Norwegian away from the Bundesliga will likely have to wait until the summer. Mike Conley Jr. Jersey In the meantime, .Barcelona have no other option but to consider other targetsRangnicks statement comes as a ma sive transfer blow for Barcelona, who hoped to bring Cavani in as a short-term replacement for Sergio Aguero.Considering the Catalans well-documented financial turmoil, they are in the market for low-cost signings, having identified the Red Devils star as a perfect cost-effective solution.Barca desperately need of a new top-cla s striker to addre s their scoring woes, particularly in the wake of a growing injury list at Camp Nou.But as things stand right now, Barcelona will have to look elsewhere to add to their firepower this winter.
