Aaron Donald surprised Pro Bowl of berth

NFL players go, and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone more even-keeled and quiet than St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Donald has won the reputation in silence for his business, he often from his teammates good laugh at the target. But when the news came on Tuesday night that, Donald was headed to professional bowl this year, he couldn't conceal his excitement. "I just want to play, no matter what happens at the end of this year," said Donald. "I'm just happy. Therefore, as a novice, my first year, finish this thing is amazing."

Donald did in his first NFL season in the league position is amazing. He is the most novice and eight bags issued on the defensive. He has averaged 17 solve the loss. Rams 29 quarterback coach Donald credit pressure and 12 quarterback hits. These Numbers can make Donald first RAMS rookie and Jerome Betty's professional bowl since 1993 the first rookie Rams defense Isiah Robertson since 1971.

Donald has this effect is not surprising his teammates and coaches, since he has been singing praise team to draft him on May 13th overall.

"I remember Schottenheimer said after the first week of online travel agencies that children can be defensive rookie. You just saw it a week he is more comfortable, just put it there, more and more and more and more credible, he just continue to make plays and dramas, solve the loss, sacks, but as a D solution, he is very destructive.

"I love the way he to his business. He is very quiet, proud. He has done everything he in the university. This is why he has won many awards. He did the same thing, it's nice to see." If the professional bowl is any indication, it may not be the next on the list of Donald's defensive rookie award. Award vote than professional bowl of different but it is still very good know voters tend to see the original data rather than the tape. In statistics, Donald has a strong case.

Donald seems to be one of the most serious challenges from Baltimore in defender C.J. Mosley, the only other rookie guard pro bowl. Dallas offensive lineman Zack Martin is the third and final rookie honoured. Coincidentally, the RAMS are most interested in three of the players and their final choice for Donald.

Mosley shows his athletic ability through an open field solution to prevent another Miami dolphins drive, matt and safety of Elam, the last to ensure running Lamar Miller is down. Elam, after a little dance play Mosley stood up to the right side. No look-at-me gyrations. There is no interrupt signal fluctuation. Mosley defensive rookie with the hope to win football league, became the first crow in 11 years. However, if you see him and the method how to match, he will remind you more and more people in the 1960s or 1970s.

"His modesty and professional ethics are very high," Coach John Harbaugh said. "He is not a man, what is of course; this is a great quality in anyone." In the draft sequence of the 17, Mosley has been more than seven defensive players in front, including the no. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney. He is the only player of the season has released at least 80 processing, two bags, two were intercepted, a forced grope for, grope for a recovery. 135 solve his pace, will be the most crow since 2010, and autumn only 7 Ray Lewis in his rookie season. Mosley said he did not notice all defensive rookies this year.

"As long as the production and I will not lose any calls for the defense, we won the game, this is really the most important to me," he said. No mosley signs of wear and tear, hitting the rookie wall. This season he played one of his best game on Sunday, when he ended three drives have two processing, a bag. Before the game, Mosley ask Harbaugh weeks is what's in season. This is a legitimate question from someone else's open smacked the defence this season.

"This time between the end of the regular season and the bowl game, but we play games, there have been playing," Harbaugh said. ", he did a lot of work." No one will know Mosley.

Quarterback Jay Cutler

Don't cheat the: see him 32 - of - 46 341 yards, the two touchdowns pass the ball and score went to intercept and a passer rating of 96.4. Cutler, most of the production of denim loss can occur in garbage time, bear in the fourth quarter after the beginning of the 35-7.

This is not to say that the cutler didn't perform effectively, because of what he had done. He 10-of-13 in the first half of 100 yards and landing generated when a passerby rating of 123.9. But cowboys 21 pending points in the third quarter, the quarterback led three vain property, the club failed to three third - down to try it. Cutler also throws an intercept in the fourth quarter to expand his NFL leading 21 turnovers.

Although cutler, form a decent outing of cowboy, after reported loss, the team is going through from the quarterback signed by buyer's remorse seven-year contract worth $126.7 million in January. Obviously, cutler production does not match the salary in 2014, but still bear coach Mark Trestman support quarterback.

"Jay cutler, as long as he is healthy, has always been there, that we want to play, said Trestman. As long as jay is healthy, he would play quarterback for us."

Mike Scifres surgery to do

Scifres turn in to play, has been on the pitch and medical personnel to participate in San Diego. He must be off.

Nick Novak is in San Diego and Scifres boatman. "This is terrible," Novak said. "I felt terrible for him. I've seen the worst-hit a boatman. But our state of mind is always a man, just a step, does it. Do your work. No excuses." I'm glad to see Bolden apology Scifres after playing.

"This is a physical game," said McCoy. "But it means a lot I see someone's behavior, when they go to his apology, and I didn't mean to do that.' That showed a lot of class on New England's part for him to do that."

Mychal Kendricks said, Going to be cool

If there is a place where the eagle can confidently declared their advantage in Seattle Seahawks defending champion, this is their feathers series identities. The bald eagle is the symbol of the pride of our country. Seahawk? This is not a real bird. "In the food chain, in the animal kingdom, which one would you choose?" The Eagle defender Michael Kendrick said. "If you hunt in the mainland, you are on horseback, and overview of landscape, you need to choose which one you want? I want to with an eagle, all day long."

Worse, Kendrick agreed on Sunday against Seattle better feel for the Eagles, they were standing in the NFL. "They won the super bowl last year, Kendrick said." Let them a good team. In the union, when do you think is the best, everyone has a goal. I won't be said to them, we have a goal, but we know it's going to be a good game. We know what we can do, we know what we want to win, the same thing last year. This is what you want to break it. It will be cool. "

Kendrick and defense, which means finding a way to handle Marshawn Lynch, ran back in Seattle. The original Kendrick knows Lynch. Both products at the university of California. "He is a golden bear," Kendrick said. "I met him at a charity event, Lamarr Woodley rookie year. He's cool. He is a nice guy. I play basketball and his recreation center several times, in Berkeley. He is from Auckland, he lived there. We have the same agent." This does not mean that lynch is a chatterbox when journalists are not.

"He", Kendrick said. "I mean, I know him, but we may be Friends acquaintance. As for him with the media and things, believe me, every player here about his experience. We can meet our contract says we have to do. Some of US, some of us stand and defend what they believe." On the pitch, Kendrick 11 people trying to reduce lynch. This is the eagle seems to agree on one thing. To help solve the corral lynch, last week the same against DeMarco Murray's cowboy.

"Good man", Kendrick said. "He's strong. It is about the group of processing. It is about 11 head up the ball. I don't want him go easy. He has work to do. The eagle" this is a difficult game, this is also why Kendrick is looking forward to it. "If you're real competitors, this is the type of thing you want," kendrick said. "It gives you a good baseline where you are."

Matt Shaughnessy return

Since this is this week on October 5, Matt, have been waiting for. Outside the Arizona Cardinals defender were hurt in the past seven weeks in reserve/designated-to-return repair surgery on his left knee meniscus at the same time. He is a qualified returned to practice after six weeks, can against Kansas City on Sunday. Cardinals manager Bruce said Shaughnessy Aries will ease back to central defender player rotation, including Alex Okafor, who are tied for the team leader of six bags, Sam Acho, Marcus Benard and lorenzo Alexander.

Shaughnessy bring nine solve his first four games in the first seven records in Arizona, missed his through rushed at first but booming in 10 weeks. Shaughnessy and the first four games on the pitch, Arizona has four bags, the same number of cardinal without his record in their first four games. Then devised by Arizona, there are 18 sacks in the final four.

But Shaughnessy returns will strengthen the defense, cardinal ranked sixth in the league, two below Shaughnessy leave it. Shaughnessy and Arizona does not allow a team in the game to run more than 100 yards. Without him, three teams to break three digits, Sunday in Atlanta, cardinal allow their first personal weeks since the six yard rushed in 100-2013.

"Obviously, we are one of the best run advantage defender matt, he is also very good in a hurry passer and a solid contributor," said Aries. "A guy like you is always welcome back."

Rams make it in a row

St. Louis Rams NFL action shocked the world, not only the dominant Denver Broncos defeated last Sunday. This is the third time they win this season in 2013, a meeting of the finalists, including each of the Super Bowl last year's participants.

 

After each of the previous two, hopes were raised that the Rams would be able to sustain that success. They are not. Ram for San Diego Chargers into Sunday's game now has a chance to win consecutive games for the first time this season.

Is difficult to buy Rams earlier in the season after the big win, because they do some skills plays and other kinds of rabbit - out - of - the - way hat. But the latest Rams completed what feel more sustainable; many people think that they will eventually become a team at the beginning of the year.

The defense has been dominant in the past three weeks, to 11.3 points and published 13 bags. Run defense tightening, which allows a little more than 45 yards per game on the ground, this is the second time span.

Struggle, attacking from San Diego, and finally in the NFL scored an average of 13.5 points in the last four games, and you have the right recipe Rams back to back to win for the first time in 2014.

Broncos Peyton think must get going

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will scan in advance before defense often called "hurry up, hurry up" before, when he received the ball. On Thursday, he may not use these words, but there are two losses Broncos last three games, Manning is quick to point out, the time is pressing, need to chase may best playoff team.

The Broncos are at the mercy of 22-7 loss a lot. Louis Rams on Sunday and only touchdown at the team's regular season total lowest point since 2011 or the last regular-season game of wild horses in the absence of manning in the quarterback.

Is your sense of urgency has increased, Manning said Thursday's practice. Don't have a lot of games, we better get along, better go. Need to play better, I need to play better. You can say all you want, do you can talk about it, but you have to do.

Once a 6-1 start, there are a lot of people write in pencil on the Super Bowl slot into 7 Broncos mark, over a period of three consecutive road to 1 or 2 games in the past three weeks. Record - wise Broncos binding now, Kansas City Chiefs in AFC west and obviously lags behind that of the New England Patriots in the home-court advantage in the meeting.

Week 2 of the broncos defeated the head and face in arrow stadium on November 30. Beat mustang earlier this month, patriot Broncos lost hand-to-hand combat decider in any of the playoffs.

Kroy Biermann trying to find their own pace

Pass-rusher line up on the left, the scene of the explosion of two steps, and then accelerate the flow of the quarterback in order to solve the helpless. No, we're not talking about J.J. Watt or Von Miller. This is Kroy Biermann. Just before someone Jump the conclusion, no one elite pass-rushers bill in the same category. But for a Sunday, of the Atlanta Falcons in outside defender/defense put together some of the wonderful video clips make you think he would be able to let his team's hapless through a boost. He 1.5 bags, three quarterback, two solve loss, batted-down by victory on Sunday.

But bill outing of the season is humble Tampa bay buccaneers. And his key bag is the unknown backup rookie left in the fourth quarter to solve named Kevin Pamphile 28 shooting game. It might explain why Biermann didn't exactly pound his chest about his performance. 

"As a team, we have been very hard to keep on the right track, get it," Biermann said. "I am personally. I feel this will be my last game, I finally practice, this is the fire go out and run around, and I make drama, try to practice close game speed I can because I think we will get the proper look, we need to. Look, I want to see happen to me. So I just need to continue to work, to continue moving in the right direction."

Let's look at the Bills built last week's falcon ready to face a card offensive line, make the Cam Newton was laid off a career-high nine times against Philadelphia on Monday night. Since bill often to the left of the line and he could see the correct solution to Nate Chandler, he was an eagle. Chandler's and toe injury after full practice on Thursday. And chandler, now in his third season, is lost. So solve Byron Bell began to leave.

Bills and Falcons should make life easier, right? "They’re man. They will be ready," bill said the leopard line the following Monday night's implosion. "No one likes to have a bad game. That kind of motivates them to come back with some fire and put up good performance and kind of right their wrong. So we're ready to play. They will. It will be a good game, I think."

Rex Ryan will be with his father. Jason Babin will with his family, and then become the newest member in the western Michigan university sports hall of fame. Marcus Williams will try to keep warm. New York Jets spread to all parts of this week, with Ryan in the warning of the ear. Before the rest of the players leave goodbye, they hear their boss told them to rest spirit but rather than a physical phenomenon.

"Seal told me once, like when they go away, come back," Ryan said. "He told me this is like jumping on a speeding train. So I use our guy. When you come back, we back to it, you must be prepared to deal with it." Ryan's aircraft team hasn't done well goodbye the past week, 1-4 after the first game in the first five seasons of Ryan. Bye. Ryan switch plans to change this week, but the plane more know bye-week practice itself is not more than a day. "We don't have good bye, after" the defender said Calvin Pace. "We must change this situation."

Not all the people will leave the city, but many people Wednesday's practice after rapid start at once. Including Babin, fly to see his family in Chicago, and then drive to Kalamazoo, Michigan, the hall of fame ceremony on Friday. "They have been calling for the snow, so my mother worry about I drive," said Babin. "I told her," mommy, I'm 34 years old, and I'll be ok. "Williams, state of North Dakota rookie team, have larger weather problems. He went to see his parents in Minneapolis, it has snow, the temperature will drop to single digits.

"I mean, I use it," Williams said. "But I know I have to package." On Monday, he and his teammates will be back on the practice court in the park. "The big thing is to see we goodbye," Ryan said. They will try to jump on the fast moving train. Then they will want to train than downhill.

Broncos against Raiders

Denver Broncos like what you see from running back Montee Ball last week, isn't enough to keep the ball in uniform to the Oakland Raiders team on Sunday. The ball will be seven weeks inactives Broncos predator. About three hours before kickoff at O.co Coliseum, the ball running practice team quarterbacks Zack Dysert passing lanes. Dysert routinely goes through a pre-game workout with quarterbacks coach Gregg Knapp each week. 

Ball to find comfortable running and made some cuts as he ran. But this past week was the first time Ball had practiced with the team since suffering a right groin injury Oct. 5 against the Arizona Cardinals. Ball in on a limited basis for practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. After Friday's practice, horse coach John fox asked him if he liked what he saw from the ball, and said, "Definitely. I think he has changed his body. He does have a problem earlier an appendectomy. He has some time here to go back to he wants to be a weight and conditions, this is a positive."

Broncos believe if he can practice it some time next week, the ball will have the opportunity to wear a uniform for the match next Sunday. Louis Rams. Ball said "they know I come back, I need to prepare back 100%." Ball said last week his 212 pounds from 224 pounds when he injured himself, close to 214 pounds of weight scout movement in 214. "I feel good, feel I faster hole, fast ball," Ball said last week. Right tackle Paul Cornick, Started the last three games, no practice on Thursday or Friday because of a shoulder injury, also will be a week activities.

Don't worry DeMarco Murray

 

Murray was clip on his injured right pinky finger on Tuesday night in the Arizona cardinals last week after 28-17. "I think he will be okay," coach Jason Garrett said. But it increased the safety issue. Team has been after football as an extra consumption Murray struggle, they have successfully. Perhaps the injured finger may lead to Murray was more aware of how he brought the ball, to help him. He was just three fumbled for his first three seasons.

The slight decrease has been in part due to circumstance. The Cowboys were trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals after he had 17 carries in the first three quarters. The Cowboys have wanted to monitor Murray's snaps if not his carries.

"Mark is our leader and our main force," Garrett said. "He is football. We're going to run the ball; he will carry bigger than anyone else. But we believe others. We believe Lance Dunbar and Joe Randle. We're going to give them the chance. Obviously, we want to balance, we want to run it, put it. DE Marco a chunk of this matter. We feel good about he is a runner. We feel good about him as a receiver and he'll have a lot of shooting for us. But the other people should get a chance."
