Eduardo was injured for almost a yearEduardo Da Silva will not be able to play Kirk Gibson Jersey for two more weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Arsenals victory over Cardiff City.Eduardo made his return 51 weeks after breaking his leg against Birmingham City last season. He made a dream return on Monday with two goals.Bo s Arsene Wenger said: He picked up a hamstring injury two minutes before I took him off. What a nightmare.The Croatian striker was brought off the field seven minutes after his second goal that helped Arsenal to gain victory.Wenger said: Nobody knows Ross Stripling Jersey how it happened but I knew straight away after the game it would be a two-week job.It is nothing like he had before but I do know that little set- David Freese Jersey backs like this are part of being nine months out.After that long out, nobody plays six months on the trot. It is impo sible.But at the same time it is a blow because, of course, Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey he can score goals. He had shown that on Monday night.The twenty five year-old said It was the best day of my life it was a special moment to score, very emotional,.He also added I celebrated by ki sing my wedding ring because my wife and daughter and family supported me through this,.Eduardo has only played one Babe Herman Jersey game this season and all Arsenal fans will hope that when he recovers he will play as good as he did against Cardiff City.
NFL Medias Albert Breer touches on multiple topics in his robust Inside the NFL Notebook, including (click on each link to go directly to the topic): And much more, beginning with a fascinating exercise on the NFLs most critical position. ...Tom Clements cant come up with one play to define , but he can think of two.Both came during the fourth quarter of the 31-25 win over the in . The first one didnt nece sarily look, to the naked eye, like a great quarterback play. Its brilliance was in the abstract.We were at midfield, and we had a pa s called, and Pittsburgh brought a secondary blitz, Clements explained. Wed studied it, and he made the adjustment quickly, , Jordy has room and gets inside the 5, and we score.That , helped push the Packer lead to 28-17, and stemmed the tide of a furious Steeler rally.The other play, which came on the next drive and on another third-and-10, is the one everyone remembers: to convert another 31 yards and set up a field goal to create the last piece of separation Green Bay needed.Probably the best throw Ive ever seen a quarterback make, Clements said. And we needed it.On the first throw, Rodgers gamed the with his mental capacity. On the second, he shredded them with his physical ability.And hes even better now than he was then.Which is why, when you ask those who know -- those who are paid to know -- theres an overwhelming consensus on who is the best player at the games most important position.*****At the end of August, I posed this question to a large number of NFL decision makers:Who will be the top five quarterbacks in football at the end of this season?The purpose was to get a gauge on where the position is going this fall. I asked that they not base their answers on past history, or Baker Mayfield Jersey where the players will be in 2018 or 19. I set the number at five, because I think the word elite gets thrown around too liberally, and I wanted to reward those who truly are. And I limited the panel to general managers, vice presidents, directors of player personnel and pro scouting directors -- in other words, guys who need to know the players in question to do their jobs properly.Rodgers was the runaway winner. The quarterback was first on 18 of 28 ballots, ranked top-three on all but three of them and was the only player to appear on everyones list. Fourteen players received votes. Heres the rundown:1), : 122 points (18 first-place votes)2), : 93 points (7 first-place votes)3), : 78 points (2 first-place votes)4), : 42 points (1 first-place vote)5), : 18 points6), : 16 points7), : 13 points8), : 10 pointsT-9), : 8 pointsT-9), : 8 points11), : 5 points12), : 4 points13), : 2 points14), : 1 pointAfter tallying up the results, I circled back to get reasoning on the four quarterbacks who received first-place votes from rival execs who ranked them No. 1.NFC exec on Rodgers: The thing about him that I see is hes extremely accurate -- and I mean, extremely accurate -- and hes mobile, can make every throw and hes extremely smart. He takes time, surveys the defense before the snap, he knows where hes going and he makes very fast decisions accurately. ... Also, hes got very good competitivene s. ... Hes by himself. Hes so smart, so accurate, so competitive, such a fast decision maker, and I know its generic to say a lot of this, but he really is a 10 out of 10 in a lot of categories.AFC exec on Luck: Hes the prototypical NFL pocket-pa sing quarterback who adds the physical skill you ideally want with the mental ability and intelligence it takes to play at a high level. He has the ability to make every throw, and he can extend plays with his feet. And his personality, too -- hes selfle s and thats required to be a good leader. And when you observe him in football situations, he looks like a competitor, he appears to be a guy that loves the game. ... He elevates the personnel around him, makes them better, from the line on down. ... You see this with Brady, too -- he throws it 30 times, six or seven dudes are gonna get the ball.NFC exec on Brady: I think hes coming back with a chip on his shoulder, like he did after they lost a couple games early last year. Hes such a competitor -- no one like him -- and hes got the proven track record. And I think what Id based it on is, of all these guys, I sure dont want to be playing against him. ... (Hes older, but) he never had a rocket arm anyway. His anticipation, his accuracy has never dropped off, even when theres not a lot of talent around him. ... Going by what Ive seen the last 15, 16 years, I dont think hell lose that all at once.AFC exec on Roethlisberger: (Martavis) Bryant is down -- thats a lo s. And not having (LeVeon) Bell hurts. But when theyre back, theyre gonna be extremely hard to defend. ... Theyre gonna throw the hell out of the ball. The only i sue is him getting hurt -- he takes a pounding. I just think hes poised for a big year, that hes part of a modern-day Triplets with (Antonio) Brown and Bell, and now with Bryant when he comes back. ... The other thing, too, and this becomes a factor with quarterbacks, their defense isnt very good. Theyll give up points, and because of that, theyre gonna throw it even more.*****At the end of this proce s, one of the shot-callers who voted called me back. Hed voted for Luck, but was hedging after watching an off-balance throw Rodgers made to Nelson in the preseason.He ended up sticking with Luck. But it wasnt easy to go against the other No. 12, in large part because theres almost nothing the quarterback doesnt do well. Just ask his play caller.He can do everything, Clements said. He has great arm talent, great accuracy, and the thing that gives him an advantage is his movement in the pocket, his ability to extend plays. And beyond that, hes so intelligent. He understands the system, has great recall, always makes the quick decision to get us into whats appropriate. ... Hes the complete package.The last game Clements coached in before that started to become apparent to everyone was the 2008 . The current a sistant head coach in Green Bay said it stuck out to the staff there that, as they went through practices, their backup back home had all the ability the quarterbacks invited to Hawaii did.In the time since, hes proven to have all anyone would ever want at the position.Four downs1) Where the wheels came off the bus for . Many folks look at s ACL tear in January of 2013 as the turning point for his career with the . Those who were there actually believe the wheels started spinning off three weeks earlier. Subbing for an injured Griffin, threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns , with Mike and Kyle Shanahan rearranging the offense from the Baylor-styled attack theyd built for into their more traditional scheme. Coaches there then remember Griffins camp making noise after Cousins breakout performance that wanted to be deployed more like Cousins was -- and le s as a read-option quarterback. The staff explained to Griffin and Co. that he wasn Chad Thomas Jersey t near the point he needed to be to play the position that way. Word got back to owner Daniel Snyder. Shanahan explained to Snyder that making Griffin a pro-style pa ser would be a four-to-five-year proce s. And after all that, Griffin blew out his knee, had a rough 2013 season to follow, and Shanahan was fired. Snyder stuck by his young quarterback after that, but over time, got the same a se sment Shanahan initially gave him from others, like Jay Gruden and Scot McCloughan, and it became harder and harder to fight the idea that Griffin was just an incredibly raw prospect. Exacerbating the problem: The fact that, despite s stated desire to become a better pocket pa ser (Grudens harped several times to me how much Griffin needs reps), the progre s just hasnt come. In fact, to some degree, Griffin actually has regre sed as a pocket quarterback. The are trying to figure out what happened now. will be the No. 2 quarterback this week. The plan, from there, is to let Griffin try and earn his way back up the depth chart.2) edge. Baltimores been a popular pick to get back to the , and the best reason why thats a valid thought is right around the ball, on both lines of scrimmage. Internally, Baltimore is ecstatic about its offensive line, which returns intact from the year prior for the first time -- and this is hard to believe, for such a stable organization -- in franchise history. And though they have a new coordinator, players have noted theres plenty of carryover going from one zone-run scheme (under Gary Kubiak Joe Schobert Jersey in 2014) to another (under Marc Trestman this year). Baltimore wont benefit from the same continuity on the defensive line, not with foundation piece out the door. But the expectation is that both and will take another step forward, and the bra s was impre sed with the work of rookie over the summer, leading to cautious optimism the could be better there than they were last year. So with all of that in place, the good-or-great pendulum in Baltimore is likely to swing on the offensive skill positions. In that regard, keep an eye on rookie tight end .3) OBriens quarterback savvy. I thought this line from new quarterback () was fascinating, given what weve all seen from coach Bill OBrien on HBOs Hard Knocks: I probably learned more about football last year than I had the rest of my career in a single season in terms of being able to see the game from a different angle. The 32-year-old explained that, in 2014, he learned to play within himself better, rather than trying to win the game by himself. And while hearing that is certainly good news for the , it might be better news for the as they move forward with OBrien and offensive coordinator George Godsey. What people in the building see from those two is an ability to view the game through the quarterbacks eyes, prepare a pa ser for every circumstance and guide improvement in understanding situational football better. Indeed, Fitzpatrick posted the best quarterback rating (95.3) and TD-to-INT ratio (17:8) of his career in his single season in Houston. And just the same, theres a reason why and -- quarterbacks whove played for OBrien before -- chose to sign deals with the in March. So, no, the might not have the answer at quarterback yet, but every indication so far is they have a good understanding of what theyre looking for and, thus, a roadmap to get there.4) The Brady impact. I said this during our coverage of the verdict: The fact that this went as far as it did does a service to other players. Again, if Brady had initially won his appeal, that would have been about his innocence -- and his case wouldve been singular. Since it went to federal court, it became about the proce s, and thats where it became about all players. And thats a big reason why, as I see it, that when I asked players at camps where they all stood on this, 100 percent of them supported Brady -- even those who were convinced he was guilty. They knew itd be good for all of them. We always start with protecting and enforcing the CBA, tackle and NFLPA president said, via text. The Berman decision is a win for all players because it does those stated things and makes it harder for the NFL to violate the CBA next time. star corner added, again via text, Its substantial enough (of a win) to get the owners openly talking about changing the discipline system. Roger Goodell, too Chris Hubbard Jersey . The commi sioner floating an idea that a number of owners have bandied about in the past: establishing a discipline officer or panel, with a designee to hear appeals. Expect that one to gain steam in the coming months. When asked about the impact of the Brady win, the NFL declined comment.Three checkdowns1) looked fantastic in -- showing the kind of natural pa sing ability that made him the first pick in the . But itll take a few more hits before we know where he truly stands coming off consecutive ACL surgeries. One of the main problems the had with him at the end was his eye level -- after all his injuries in St. Louis, he had a tendency to stare down the rush. Its worth monitoring whether the problem resurfaces early in the season.2) Expectations are high for the young players, and internally, the bra s is attributing le sons learned from the . Detroit had always been willing to take risks, but that April, the pushed it to the limit, drafting , Titus Young and Mikel Leshoure with their first three picks. All three of those guys are gone, and their cla s legacy is the franchises new emphasis on intelligence and health in its picks, something Detroit believes will pay off now.3), and chances are, hell have to earn his money in 2015. The offensive line i sues and defensive deficiencies (especially with out) could put added pre sure on Manning and the pa sing game to carry a lot of Sundays. In the past, putting that kind of burden on the quarterback has been tough for the .Two college players to watch Saturday1) Michigan State QB Connor Cook (vs. Oregon, 8 p.m. ET, ABC): Most clubs see next years quarterback cla s as bursting with potential, with four guys out front now: Penn States Christian Hackenberg, Ohio States Cardale Jones, Cals Jared Goff and Cook. On Saturday, the Spartans fifth-year senior gets his first big test and big stage of the season, with MSU hosting Oregon. Last year, Cook showed some of his warts in Eugene, throwing two picks as State was held to three points in the second half after taking a 24-18 lead into the break. He has excellent height, weight, hes athletic with good arm strength, one AFC college scouting director said. But he struggles to read defenses and his football instincts are average. He has NFL starting ability, but hes not a franchise-type quarterback. And its concerning he wasnt named a captain. Why? The team votes ... Another AFC personnel exec was more positive, saying, He has size and a great arm, a good brain, and plays in a pro-style offense. Add it up, and you see some of the disagreement that will likely continue on the top QB prospects through the fall. Which is why weeks like this one are important for guys like Cook.2) Mi si sippi State CB Will Redmond (vs. LSU, 9:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Redmonds case is a weird one -- he sat out his first college season and part of his second for accepting impermi sible benefits, and has been part of a rotation since. But NFL evaluators see a world of talent in the senior as he settles into a much more prominent role. Hes a good athlete with length, speed and ball skills, a second AFC college scouting director said. Good man-cover ability, too. And because hes unproven to this point, theres a wide range of where things could go for Redmond -- its po sible he sneaks into the bottom half of the first round, or slips deep into Day 3. Hes very athletic and highly competitive -- that stands out on tape, said an AFC area scout a signed to Mi si sippi State. Because theyve run a heavy rotation in the past, he hasnt been a full-time starter, he hasnt played Austin Corbett Jersey a lot of football in general. ... Hes tough and can cover man-to-man -- now we have to see if he can put it all together. Is he a guy that just has talent and traits, or is he that and just inexperienced with a lot of room to grow? LSU always brings athletes, so this will be one of the first tapes the scouts pull on Redmond. Snaps where Tigers junior Travin Dural matches up with Redmond will be of particular interest to evaluators.Extra pointOne byproduct of the project I embarked on at the top of this notebook was seeing how s stock has fallen in the eyes of NFL evaluators -- to the point where 19 of the 28 power brokers on my panel left Manning out of the top five completely, and only two voters placed him higher than fourth.And its not just the way last season ended, but how the preseason went this summer.One rival AFC pro director who studied him the last few weeks said he looked limited and saw his arm strength as significantly diminished. And he added, They dont do as much from the shotgun (under Gary Kubiak) as they did in the past, and he lacks the mobility to take the majority of his snaps from underneath the center. They also do too much boot and move the pocket too much for (him).I had an NFC exec go back and look at all of Mannings snaps from August. Afterward, he said Manning looked immobile and flinches under pocket pre sure. That exec cited a bad underthrow and off-target interception and inaccuracy on intermediate and deep pa ses. Another exec, this one from an AFC team, countered that by saying that youre aware the zip and velocity isnt there, but hes a very, very cerebral quarterback. ... He plays within his limitations, he has a quick release and he has weapons.In June, , on the offenses fit, I keep going back to being with (Joe) Flacco last year. Joes very athletic, and I think we booted 26 or 27 times in 16 games. Were not out there booting all the time, but if people dont hold on the run, were gonna boot, and Peyton has done it at practice. He actually gets mad at me when I give the boot reps to a younger quarterback, he looks at it like, Hey, what about me? I think hes been very challenged. Hes had to learn some new stuff, and thats good for everybody.Between the scheme change, the breaks that Kubiak has afforded vets (read: le s reps) and the run-game emphasis day-to-day over the last six months, its been an offseason of transition for one of the sports all-time greats. And in the midst of it all, he took a $4 million pay cut -- a pay cut that was negotiated, sources say, after Denver asked him to swallow a substantially bigger one, which didnt exactly make the situation any more comfortable.The last time a team Manning quarterbacked failed to get to double-digit wins was in 2001, and 10 of the last 11 groups he piloted got to at least 12 victories. Thats a high standard to uphold. Fair to say hell need some help getting back there this time around -- something the actions over the last six months affirm on several fronts -- and Kubiaks pulling every lever he can to give it to him.Follow Albert Breer on Twitter .

He has excellent height, weight, hes athletic with good arm strength, one AFC college scouting director said. But he struggles to read defenses and his football instincts are average. He has NFL starting ability, but hes not a franchise-type quarterback. And its concerning he wasnt named a captain. Why? The team votes ... Another AFC personnel exec was more positive, saying, He has size and a great arm, a good brain, and plays in a pro-style offense. Add it up, and you see some of the disagreement that will likely continue on the top QB prospects through the fall. Which is why weeks like this one are important for guys like Cook.2) Mi si sippi State CB Will Redmond (vs. LSU, 9:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Redmonds case is a weird one -- he sat out his first college season and part of his second for accepting impermi sible benefits, and has been part of a rotation since. But NFL evaluators see a world of talent in the senior as he settles into a much more prominent role. Hes a good athlete with length, speed and ball skills, a second AFC college scouting director said. Good man-cover ability, too. And because hes unproven to this point, theres a wide range of where things could go for Redmond -- its po sible he sneaks into the bottom half of the first round, or slips deep into Day 3. Hes very athletic and highly competitive -- that stands out on tape, said an AFC area scout a signed to Mi si sippi State. Because theyve run a heavy rotation in the past, he hasnt been a full-time starter, he hasnt played Austin Corbett Jersey a lot of football in general. ... Hes tough and can cover man-to-man -- now we have to see if he can put it all together. Is he a guy that just has talent and traits, or is he that and just inexperienced with a lot of room to grow? LSU always brings athletes, so this will be one of the first tapes the scouts pull on Redmond. Snaps where Tigers junior Travin Dural matches up with Redmond will be of particular interest to evaluators.Extra pointOne byproduct of the project I embarked on at the top of this notebook was seeing how s stock has fallen in the eyes of NFL evaluators -- to the point where 19 of the 28 power brokers on my panel left Manning out of the top five completely, and only two voters placed him higher than fourth.And its not just the way last season ended, but how the preseason went this summer.One rival AFC pro director who studied him the last few weeks said he looked limited and saw his arm strength as significantly diminished. And he added, They dont do as much from the shotgun (under Gary Kubiak) as they did in the past, and he lacks the mobility to take the majority of his snaps from underneath the center. They also do too much boot and move the pocket too much for (him).I had an NFC exec go back and look at all of Mannings snaps from August. Afterward, he said Manning looked immobile and flinches under pocket pre sure. That exec cited a bad underthrow and off-target interception and inaccuracy on intermediate and deep pa ses. Another exec, this one from an AFC team, countered that by saying that youre aware the zip and velocity isnt there, but hes a very, very cerebral quarterback. ... He plays within his limitations, he has a quick release and he has weapons.In June, , on the offenses fit, I keep going back to being with (Joe) Flacco last year. Joes very athletic, and I think we booted 26 or 27 times in 16 games. Were not out there booting all the time, but if people dont hold on the run, were gonna boot, and Peyton has done it at practice. He actually gets mad at me when I give the boot reps to a younger quarterback, he looks at it like, Hey, what about me? I think hes been very challenged. Hes had to learn some new stuff, and thats good for everybody.Between the scheme change, the breaks that Kubiak has afforded vets (read: le s reps) and the run-game emphasis day-to-day over the last six months, its been an offseason of transition for one of the sports all-time greats. And in the midst of it all, he took a $4 million pay cut -- a pay cut that was negotiated, sources say, after Denver asked him to swallow a substantially bigger one, which didnt exactly make the situation any more comfortable.The last time a team Manning quarterbacked failed to get to double-digit wins was in 2001, and 10 of the last 11 groups he piloted got to at least 12 victories. Thats a high standard to uphold. Fair to say hell need some help getting back there this time around -- something the actions over the last six months affirm on several fronts -- and Kubiaks pulling every lever he can to give it to him.Follow Albert Breer on Twitter .
