Wholesale Jerseys 2018


METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Saints rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore derives a certain satisfaction from seeing New Orleans' younger players assume pivotal roles in the club's longest winning streak in seven years.
"I love it," said Lattimore, Cheap NFL Jerseys 2018,whose coverage skills have helped the Saints rise to first place in the NFC South.
"It's just great to see young players bring the Saints back up, because a lot of people just wrote the Saints off and said that we were a bad team and everything."
When the 2017 season opened, it was clear the Saints would need a number of players with less than two years of NFL experience to come of age quickly in order to break out of a three-season run of mediocrity in which the club never had a winning record.
Halfway through the regular season, the Saints (6-2) look like one of the top teams in the NFC, having won six straight for the first time since 2011.
The club's recent success has hinged on the play of rookies such as Lattimore, running back Alvin Kamara, left tackle Ryan Ramczyk, Cheap Jerseys 2018,and safety Marcus Williams, as well as second-year players including receiver Michael Thomas, cornerback Ken Crawley, and interior defensive linemen Sheldon Rankins and David Onyemata.
Meanwhile, rookie Trey Hendrickson has been effective in a reserve role with two sacks and a forced fumble, while undrafted rookie Justin Hardee broke through with a big special teams play in last week's victory over Tampa Bay, blocking a punt and returning it for a touchdown.
Rookie running back Trey Edmunds and second-year pro DeVante Harris, who both joined the Saints as undrafted free agents, have been regulars on special teams.
Saints coach Sean Payton said his club appears to have a group of players that have "acclimated quickly," and added that a lot of credit goes to former Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, who has overseen college scouting in New Orleans since 2015.
It wasn't necessarily apparent that so many of New Orleans' youngest players would quickly emerge as effective pros.
Kamara, for example, wasn't a starter Cheap NFL Jerseys China,for most of his college career, which began at Alabama and ended at Tennessee.
But he has been a key contributor in both the running and passing games, with 654 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns through his first eight NFL games.
"I've improved a lot, but I think it's a lot of credit to the system, "Kamara said. "As an organization, you get players and you find the best ways to use their skills. I'm just grateful I'm in a position where my skills are being used."
Two years ago, Onyemata looked like a longer-term project. Having grown up in Nigeria and having learned to play American-style football at a Canadian college, he was hardly NFL-ready when he arrived for 2016 rookie camp.
Now he's a starting defensive tackle with 1½ sacks and three tackles for losses this season.
"It's astronomical from where he NFL Jerseys 2018,was (during) rookie minicamp last year to where he is today," said Rankins, adding that when Onyemata arrived, "He couldn't tell you any formation. But now he's out there calling out things, identifying protections and knowing where plays are going. So it's a huge leap."
Rankins, a 2016 first-round pick, hasn't been impressive statistically, but defensive end Cameron Jordan credits much of his success this season to how well Rankins has taken on double-teams.
"When you talk about how fast our young guys have been able to learn and grow, that's what's impressive," Jordan said.
Rankins said the Saints' current mix of hungry young players and established leaders such as Jordan and quarterback Drew Brees seem to have synergy.
"When you're led by guys like Cam and Drew — Wholesale Jerseys From China,guys who have consistently done it at a high level — it does nothing but make you want to raise your level of play," Rankins said.
Brees, meanwhile, sounds rejuvenated by the emerging young players helping New Orleans win.
"You just never know when Cheap MLB Jerseys 2018,that light bulb is going to come on and I think for a lot of guys it's come on in a big way," Brees said.
"They're big contributors and that's another thing that makes it exciting around here is you've got this young talent where all of a sudden the light bulb is coming on and you feel like the sky's the limit."
NOTES: LT Terron Armstead (chest) and Cheap Baseball Jerseys 2018,Kenny Vaccaro (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday as they try to recover from injuries which occurred during last Sunday's game.

The Philadelphia Eagles maintained the NFL's best record (6-1)

The Philadelphia Eagles maintained the NFL's best record (6-1), Cheap NFL Jerseys ,  riding four Carson Wentz touchdown passes to a 34-24 victory over the Washington Redskins (3-3) in Week 7.

Aaron Donald to start for Rams vs. Redskins on Sunday

How long does it take a star defensive player to work his way back into the starting lineup after an offseason holdout? About a week, apparently. Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Aaron Donald would get the start on Sunday against the Redskins, six days after he reported to the club. Donald, 26, has made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons and attempted to force Los Angeles' hand this offseason into getting him a lucrative contract extension. The writing was on the wall this week in Los Angeles. Even defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who spent the offseason sans Donald changing the team's 4-3 defense to a 3-4, said it wasn't going to be difficult integrating arguably the best interior pass rusher in football. Getting Donald one-on-one usually seals the deal. So it goes for McVay, who had to weather a high profile holdout during his first few months as the NFL's youngest head coach in history. Now, he's decided to simply le...
