Both Foles are going to show up, in part because there's only one player involved. What we've learned from these five starts is that Nick Foles is capable of looking like http://www.teamusahockeyjerseys.com/Adidas-Brandon-Dubinsky-Jersey both Carson Wentz and Mark Wahlberg as the star of "Invincible II" over the course of a month. The best data to use in evaluating a quarterback is all the data, and while it's tempting to treat the most recent performance from Foles as the most valuable information, it's just part of the broader story.![]() While I'd argue that Foles certainly has improved his play during the postseason, it will be the context that determines whether we see the best or worst of the Arizona product against the Patriots. New England can be beat on the defensive side of the ball. This is a defense that gave up huge chunks of yardage to Blake Bortles and a less effective Jaguars offense on Sunday, after finishing the year next to last in defensive DVOA. Put Foles in positive situations, and Good Nick is likely to Rod Carew Jersey come out. Foles is perfectly capable of converting third-and-4 and throwing quick screens to his receivers, and if you're the Eagles, you want to be doing just that. The Pats have the league's third-worst run defense, making them a viable target for Ajayi and Blount on early downs and in power situations. Bill Belichick is arguably the most brilliant defensive coach in the history of the league, but he has never won a Super Bowl with a defense this bad, and he can only scheme up so much when the ball is coming out 1.5 seconds after it's snapped. ![]() On the other hand, put Foles in negative situations, and Bad Nick is going to rear his head yet again. The Patriots don't have a great pass rush, but look at what happened to Trey Flowers & Co. http://www.authenticlosangelesdodgersshop.com/Fernando-Valenzuela-Jersey when they got a lead against the Titans and were able to pin their ears back and go after Marcus Mariota, who Matt Patricia's unit sacked eight times on 45 dropbacks. Get Foles in third-and-long, and he's probably going to make mistakes. Get Joel Ward Authentic Jersey Foles to make mistakes, and they http://www.official76ershop.com/authentic-11-nik-stauskas-jersey.html may very well compound on one another. If this sounds like it's true for just about every quarterback, well, you're not wrong. We've also just seen a more extreme range of outlines for Foles after five games, even if the overall package is about where we could have expected once Wentz was injured. He's likely more sensitive to game situations than most other passers, given his lack of recent game experience, although the five starts have helped those concerns. Courtney Cronin, NFL Nation Vikings reporter: I used to think Lerentee McCray Authentic Jersey Bridgewater took priority over Keenum in terms of how the Vikings view their long-term plans at quarterback. I’m not so sure anymore, even after Keenum’s clunker in the NFC Championship Game. Keenum did a lot to earn the job going forward, including winning a playoff game. Despite Pat Shurmur being all but signed, sealed and delivered to the New York Giants as their next head coach, the Vikings' offense is going to look very similar to how it does now, aside from the expected retirement of right guard Joe Berger and possibility of Jerick McKinnon getting a deal elsewhere in free agency. Minnesota has the core of its playmakers coming back next year, including the return of Dalvin Cook. The Vikings will go after an offensive coordinator who will build his system around his personnel just like Shurmur did, so it’s not hard to imagine Keenum having continued success under center in Minnesota. Plus, I’m not so sure I believe the Keenum-Shurmur package deal will come to fruition after all. New York can stick with Eli Manning, who is under contract for two more years, have last year’s third-round pick, Davis Webb, next in line and can use the No. 2 overall pick on a quarterback if it so chooses. The other question is this: If Keenum is the Vikings' starter in 2018, what happens to Bridgewater and Bradford? Both believe they can be starters, but will the Vikings be able to convince one of them to return as a backup next season? Matt Bowen, NFL writer: Keenum’s ability to thrive in Shurmur’s offense put the Vikings on the door of the Super Bowl. http://www.officialsunstore.com/Josh_Jackson_Jersey But with Shurmur reportedly leaving to take over the Giants, I expect the Vikings to let Keenum test free ED Belfour Jersey agency. Look for the veteran to earn starting money on the market and for Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer to re-sign Bridgewater as the front-runner to land the starting job in ’18 after a full offseason of work. Domonique Foxworth, The Undefeated senior writer: Keenum will be the guy. The Vikings will not commit to Bradford because of his injury history. Because of Bridgewater’s age (25) and his potential to improve, he will get some serious consideration, despite injury concerns of his own. But in the end I can’t see the Vikings going away from Keenum, who has played well this season, and opting for Bridgewater, who has thrown only two passes since 2015. Kevin Seifert, NFL writer: There is still great loyalty and sentimentality within the organization toward Bridgewater. He would have been starting by the end of the season if Keenum had done anything other than play at the highest level imaginable for him. But the Vikings' deep playoff run changed the calculus. I now wonder if the Vikings can avoid moving forward without Keenum. Bridgewater's steady personality more closely matches Zimmer's ethos, but the organization might have tipped its hand in deciding to leapfrog Sam Bradford over Bridgewater on the playoff depth chart. wholesale nfl jerseys supply nfl jerseys authentic nba jerseys cheap nike nfl jerseys from china cheap nhl jerseys cheap hockey jerseys mlb baseball jerseys cheap jerseys china |
