Youth Chris Wagner Jersey

”Y’all looking for me?” he said.Indeed Youth Chris Wagner Jersey , Dunlap was the focus on the first day of mandatory minicamp after skipping most of the voluntary offseason workouts in
Cincinnati. The ninth-year defensive end chose to work out on his own while his
agent negotiated a new deal with the team, costing him $300,000 in bonuses.Rather than skip the minicamp as well, he decided to catch up on what he’s missed with a new defense being implemented.Plus, he’s encouraged by the progress made on a deal that would keep him in Cincinnati well beyond 2018.”There are no hard feelings between any of us,” Dunlap said Tuesday. ”This is the process. Both sides understand it.”Dunlap is a key to the Bengals’ hopes of a turnaround this season. They slid to 18th in the league overall and 30th against the run last season while missing
out on the playoffs for a second straight year. Coordinator Paul Guenther left
to join Jon Gruden with the Raiders, and Teryl Austin was hired as his
replacement.Dunlap has been a game-changer in Cincinnati with his ability to rush the quarterback and bat down passes. He’s second on the team’s career sacks list
with 64 , and he’s been the best lineman in the league at batting down passes
over the past few seasons.Coaches have been trying to get him to be more consistent not only from game-to-game, but within games as well. His number of plays could diminish this
season as Cincinnati integrates some of its young pass rushers into the line
rotation.Carl Lawson had 8 sacks last season, the most by an NFL rookie and one sack shy of Dunlap’s team rookie record from 2010.”They’re very adamant about having a big rotation, and I would too with all this talent on the D-line,” Dunlap said.Dunlap and tackle Geno Atkins have anchored the line since 2010. Atkins leads the NFL in sacks by an interior lineman over the past few years. Dunlap had a
career-high 13 sacks in 2015, but slipped to 8 the following season and 7 last
year, third on the team.By working out on his own the past few months, he missed a chance to learn the system implemented by Austin. He said the biggest change is in
terminology.”They’re pretty much similar in scheme – minor tweaks here or there – but they’re things we already had in our defense,” Dunlap said. ”So it’s not like a
full spring cleaning or anything.”Coach Marvin Lewis said Dunlap won’t get much time on the field during the three-day minicamp because he’s missed so much practice time.”It’s a chance for him to get a preview of what will happen during training camp Sam Gagner Jersey ,” Lewis said. ”He’ll get very limited repetitions (in minicamp) just because these guys have been working here for an amount of
weeks and he hasn’t been here.”WOODSIDE CHARGED: Rookie quarterback Logan Woodside – a seventh-round pick from Toledo – practiced Tuesday after arraignment in northern Kentucky. He was
charged over the weekend with speeding and driving under the influence in
Bellevue, Kentucky, according to information in his case file in Campbell County
District Court. The Bengals said they’re aware of the matter and gathering
information. Lewis declined further comment.EIFERT MISSING: Tight end Tyler Eifert was in the locker room but didn’t participate in the afternoon practice. Lewis declined to say why the
often-injured tight end wasn’t on the field. ”He was here all morning and then
all of a sudden he wasn’t,” Lewis said. ”I’m sure he’s being dealt with in some
kind of medical fashion. That’s the only reason a guy wouldn’t be here.”Eifert was limited to two games last season because of chronic back problems. He signed a one-year deal after the season. Lewis said Eifert has been doing
well so far in his latest comeback.”When we start to play football, then we’ll have an idea where he is,” Lewis said.—Keion Crossen spent most of Saturday doing what all NFL bubble players do: wondering, worrying ??and, most importantly, refreshing his phone."All day. Every second hitting refresh, refresh the Twitter page or whatever you got to do," Crossen said Sunday after making the New England Patriots' final
roster as a seventh-round draft pick.Then came 4 p.m. Saturday ??and the phone did not ring."It didn't ring. That's a good sign," said Crossen, who spent the day with some teammates, two of whom didn't make it.The cornerback from Western Carolina, once a 147-pound high school quarterback, had made it to the opening roster of a team seeking its sixth Super
Bowl win this century."I enjoyed it at 4:01 and I'm ready right now Jake Muzzin Jersey ," he said. "I was focused at 4:02 to get started for Houston week."He added he had trouble sleeping both Friday and Saturday nights, the first night worrying and then looking ahead."As the business goes, you gotta move on, you gotta prepare, you can't let your mind stay in yesterday," he said. "Moving forward for me is a big deal,
especially for me coming in Week 1 as a rookie, I want to make sure I know as
much as I need to know going into Game 1."(Saturday night) I was just more focused on getting to know my opponent. That's the reason I couldn't sleep, because I wanted to know my opponent as much
as I could before I get with the coaches and everything."The opponent for Week 1 is Deshaun Watson, the mobile Texans quarterback who can drive a defense crazy. That's enough for even a veteran to worry about/In a strange twist to the story, Crossen said he didn't tell his parents, Winnie and Thomas, until Sunday morning that he made the cut - and added they
didn't know until he told them."They're happy parents," he said. "They enjoyed that I get to enjoy my dream. They just hoped the best for me. They did not know ... my mom cried, my dad's a
little tough, so he played a little hardball. But they're happy Authentic Shea Weber Jersey , they're definitely happy."I didn't call anyone . the last 24 hours I've just been waiting. So I kinda knew, I guess, when you all knew, and I'm very happy to be here and I'm ready to
get started."Crossen dressed in a corner of the locker room with three other young players. Their names, including A.J. Moore and John Atkins, who didn't make the
squad, were gone when he came in Sunday morning. Asked if that was different, he
said, "It is. It is, very different. But I'm ready to play, focusing on this
week and focusing on what I can do to make the team better."It's always tough (seeing guys go). I know as a rookie class you come in together, some go and some stay, but at the end of the day I wish everyone who's
not here the best and everyone who is here, (to) have a great season."And now, borrowing a Bill Belichick phrase, it's on to Houston."I don't know what to anticipate Jean-Gabriel Pageau Jersey ," Crossen said. "Obviously still a rookie, still learning. I'm just kind of go with the flow. I know we're going to practice, I
definitely know that, so only control what I can control and work hard every
day."It's a joy to be here."NOTES: The Patriots claimed WR Amara Darboh off waivers from Seattle and WR Chad Hansen off waivers from the Jets. Darboh, 24, was a third-round draft pick
