HOUSTON — Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, having reviewed movie of the play, stated Monday he believes working again Joe Mixon’s ankle damage Sunday night time was brought on by Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards utilizing the now-banned hip-drop deal with.
Edwards was not penalized for the deal with, which occurred early within the third quarter of Houston’s 19-13 win over Chicago. Mixon left the sport to get therapy on the ankle and returned late within the third quarter, however performed solely seven snaps the remainder of the best way.
After the sport, Ryans stated he wasn’t certain if Mixon was introduced down utilizing the swivel hip-drop deal with. However he stated Monday that after reviewing the play, he was sure Edwards had utilized the rugby tackling method that the NFL in March elected to ban given the various decrease leg accidents it has triggered.
“[The tackle] positively in my thoughts, is taken into account the hip-drop,” Ryans stated. “When the defender unweights himself after which he places all of his weight on the runner’s legs, you see why they wish to get the hip-drop deal with out of the sport. As a result of it causes a whole lot of accidents when it occurs. The hip-drop deal with does not occur a lot, however the proportion of damage when it does occur may be very excessive and also you noticed that there with Joe and his ankle. The defender landed on his ankle.”
As for a timeline on when Mixon may return to the sector, Ryans did not give a transparent indication.
“We’ll see on the damage,” he stated. “We’ll consider Joe as we go all through the week. Simply take it day-to-day.”
The Texans play the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 and could possibly be with out Mixon and backup Dameon Pierce, who missed Week 2 with a hamstring damage. In the event that they’re with out each, anticipate Cam Akers, who rushed for 32 yards with a fumble in Week 2, to get many of the carries.
Mixon didn’t communicate to reporters after Sunday’s sport however referred to as out the NFL on social media for not imposing the rule
“The NFL and NFLPA made it a rule and an emphasis for a motive,” Mixon wrote on X. “Time to place your cash the place your mouth is.”
The guests began the second-half brightly, having fun with extra of the ball and creating a lot of probabilities, however Moulden and the Palace defence handled their early strain.
The Eagles had been in the hunt for a go-ahead purpose and duly discovered it on the hour-mark. Glorious work down the suitable hand facet from Caleb Kporha noticed him discover a cross into an unmarked Umolu contained in the field, who completed on the first time of asking.
Palace’s lead lasted lower than 10 minutes, because the Spanish facet drew degree with 20 minutes to play. Unax Agote discovered himself on the scoresheet, ending after the ball wasn’t correctly cleared away from a Sociedad assault.
Probabilities got here and went for each side as the sport went on, with captain Justin Devenny seeing an effort on the sting of the field saved and Moulden standing tall to disclaim a late Sociedad flurry.
The end result signifies that Palace start their defence of their trophy with some extent. They sit in second place of Group D – two factors behind RB Leipzig.
Hailing from a South London-based household of some-Millwall, however mostly-Palace (he assures us), supporters, Terry Byfield first actually started backing the Eagles within the Nineteen Seventies.
Among the many Palace aspect of the household was his Dad, who duly introduced Terry the schoolboy to Soccer Mixture – “what we now know as Below-21s” – and Below-18s matches. Terry fondly recollects watching, within the late 70s, the Youth Cup-winning groups of Vince Hilaire and Peter Nicholas as certainly one of 200 or 300 followers current.
He and his pals finally turned Season Ticket Holders within the Holmesdale Stand, recalling: “I used to show up on the floor and all of the TV vehicles – not as many as now – was once within the Sainsbury’s automobile park, so I used to go there first.
“If there have been two or three vehicles, that will imply that it was the highlights sport on The Large Match on ITV on Sunday afternoon!
“They used to point out three video games, and we’d be one of many essential video games if these vehicles had been there. It’s clearly a world away from what it’s now, nevertheless it was fairly an enormous factor in these days when Palace v Grimsby was on the highlights!”
Terry left faculty with three O-Ranges not sure of his subsequent steps, however had “type of having an inkling I needed to do some sort of journalism.”
Potential purposes to native publications went nowhere, so Terry did the following most rational factor: in 1984, he wrote on to Crystal Palace Chairman, Ron Noades, asking for work.
“I don’t assume I even mentioned in what division!” Terry laughs. “I simply mentioned ‘are there any roles out there?’
“I bought a reply again just a few days later: Ron mentioned there weren’t any particular roles, however to please ring our secretary to e book an appointment. I rang his secretary, Paula, I got here in, noticed Ron, had a chat with him in his workplace for about an hour or so, and left.
“Not lengthy after, I bought a letter to say they had been going to take me on within the administration aspect of the membership, on £26.25 per week on the YTS [Youth Training Scheme].”
After a 2-16 begin to his NFL profession, the Carolina Panthers are changing quarterback Bryce Younger with Andy Dalton for Sunday’s recreation towards the Las Vegas Raiders (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS).
That makes Younger the primary quarterback chosen No. 1 total within the frequent draft period (since 1967) to be benched for non-injury causes.
The Panthers traded with the Chicago Bears to accumulate the 2023 No. 1 total decide to draft Younger, who’s 0-2 this season. His Complete QBR this season (8.9) is third worst over a two-game stretch since ESPN started utilizing the metric in 2011.
The Panthers have been outscored 73-13 the primary two weeks, with their solely landing approaching a scramble by Younger that originally was dominated a fumble. The 60-point differential is the worst by a group within the first two video games since 2019.
Carolina’s offensive effectivity ranking (.70) by way of two video games ranks final out of 608 situations for Weeks 1-2 because it was first tracked in 2006, and so they have transformed two of twenty-two third-down alternatives, worst within the NFL.
The record goes on and on, however finally the Panthers imagine Dalton offers them a greater likelihood of profitable after they spent the offseason making upgrades on the talent positions and offensive line to assist Younger.
ESPN’s Panthers reporter David Newton, Saints reporter Katherine Terrell, NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid, nationwide NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler and NFL analysts Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder break down what led to the change and what it means going ahead.
Why wasn’t it sustainable to maintain Younger at starter?
Receiver Adam Thielen, who acquired visibly upset on the sideline Sunday after Younger was sacked on a third-down play when Thielen was wide-open, mentioned after the 26-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers this “is not a Bryce Younger challenge.” He went out of his method to say how a lot he beloved Younger and would combat for him. That was the temper of gamers all through the locker room.
Coach Dave Canales did not appear in a rush to make a change after the sport, saying, “Bryce Younger is our quarterback” when requested who would begin Sunday towards the Raiders.
So Younger hasn’t misplaced the locker room. What he has carried out is lose two video games by a mixed 60 factors and fail to throw a landing go, whereas by no means trying comfy operating the offense and persevering with to make dangerous choices. And he did not take command of Canales’ quarterback-friendly scheme that helped flip round Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay), Geno Smith (Seattle) and Russell Wilson (Seattle) previously.
Canales knew benching Younger would ship a unfavorable sign to the locker room. He additionally knew not benching Younger would not give the Panthers a sensible likelihood of profitable. — Newton
Simply how dangerous have the Panthers been to start out the season?
The Panthers have been traditionally dangerous to start out the 2024 season, based on my DVOA rankings. They’ve the ninth worst total DVOA of 1,397 groups since 1979 by way of Week 2, going again to 1979. The offense is even decrease, rating because the seventh-worst offense of any group by way of Week 2. It isn’t simply Younger who’s been terrible, because the Panthers are lifeless final in go DVOA and thirty first in rush DVOA, forward of solely this week’s opponent, the Raiders.
If we have a look at historical past, the Panthers’ season cannot be utterly written off but. Principally written off, certain. However the second-worst offense ever by way of Week 2 belonged to the 1989 Steelers. That group misplaced its first two video games by a mixed rating of 92-10, then rebounded to complete the season 9-7 and make the playoffs. (The worst offense ever by way of Week 2 belonged to the 2002 enlargement Texans, and so they have been horrible all season.)
One other fascinating comparability can be the 2001 Washington group which had the fifth-worst offense ever by way of Week 2. That group benched quarterback Jeff George and went to Tony Banks after two video games, then rebounded to complete the yr 8-8. After all, there is a huge distinction between benching a 34-year-old veteran in comparison with benching final yr’s No. 1 total draft decide.
Different groups among the many worst offenses ever by way of Week 2 embody the 2019 Dolphins, 2006 Raiders, 2013 Jaguars and 1999 enlargement Browns. — Schatz
What are the choices for Carolina shifting ahead?
The one possibility is clear-cut: Hope for the most effective with Dalton whereas permitting Younger to reset behind the scenes for an eventual — if not far-fetched — rebirth.
The one advantage of benching Younger this early is they may return to him, and this transfer type of saves him from himself after two ghastly weeks. However most individuals contained in the league who I’ve spoken to have been no less than mildly stunned by the transfer — particularly as Carolina is taken into account one of many NFL’s most talent-deficient groups. Folks contained in the Panthers constructing are stunned. They knew Younger’s play would ultimately get him benched if it did not enhance, however two weeks is a fast hook.
One veteran NFL personnel man had a unique take. “They needed to bench that man,” he mentioned. “The offense was nonfunctional.”
Canales will depend on the expertise and savvy of Dalton, whose 50.9 profession win share looms massive right here. It was famous to me a number of occasions this offseason that Dalton did job of pushing Younger in observe — all the time talked about after praising Younger’s progress. I did not take that as a sign to place Dalton on my Week 3 bingo card.
“Possibly [Canales] thought he was unfixable,” an AFC government mentioned. “There is not quite a lot of persistence and growth in our league anymore. You play early and want to supply shortly.” — Fowler
What can we anticipate from Andy Dalton?
Dalton has a relentless constructive angle and a peaceful demeanor. He by no means will get too excessive or low, and the Panthers desperately want that proper now with a lot going flawed.
Whereas Dalton is not a full-time starter anymore, he has began 30 video games for 4 completely different groups since he misplaced his beginning job with the Cincinnati Bengals after the 2019 season. He has expertise in basically each state of affairs, and when the Panthers play in Germany on Nov. 10, Dalton might make his fourth begin in a global recreation.
The Saints introduced him in to again up Jameis Winston in 2022 and favored his play sufficient to maintain him because the everlasting starter that season after Winston was injured early on.
Dalton won’t be the kind of quarterback who can elevate the play of his teammates on offense. He is normally pretty much as good because the supporting solid round him. However Dalton definitely will not make issues worse.
It has been a very long time since Dalton’s finest seasons in Cincinnati, however there’s a motive groups have regularly turned to him as a starter previously few years. He is aware of tips on how to lead a struggling group, and he’ll restrict errors to assist them scratch out some wins. — Terrell
Who might Carolina choose at QB within the 2025 draft?
The Panthers arguably have the worst roster within the NFL proper now. Exterior of defensive finish Derrick Brown, who’s out for the season with a knee harm, there aren’t many foundational items to construct on. So what lies forward in 2025?
If the Panthers resolve to maneuver on from Younger, they may decide one other signal-caller atop the draft since they personal their first-round decide in 2025. Georgia’s Carson Beck is presently the top-ranked passer within the 2025 class, whereas Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Texas’ Quinn Ewers are additionally viable choices close to the highest. Miami’s Cam Ward is a wild card to keep watch over, as his quick begin is already catapulting him up draft boards.
That mentioned, the 2025 QB crop is not practically as sturdy because it was in 2024, when a file six passers have been drafted throughout the first 12 picks. So possibly the Panthers resolve to go one other path with their first-round alternative.
If Carolina elects to attend on drafting a QB, its focus might flip to including an offensive or defensive playmaker. Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter, Tennessee edge James Pearce Jr. or Georgia edge Mykel Williams might all present an instantaneous enhance. The Panthers might additionally discover buying and selling again with a group trying to take one of many prime QBs. That might permit them to accumulate extra 2025 draft capital or future picks to bolster a roster that is presently disadvantaged of high-end younger expertise. — Reid
Do the Panthers have any shot to get again into the NFC South race?
I extremely doubt it. Sure, Younger was an enormous drawback. However by way of (nearly) two weeks of the season, this group additionally ranked thirtieth in EPA per play allowed on protection, twenty fourth in go block win charge and twenty eighth in run block win charge. These are all areas which have little to do with quarterback play and can seemingly nonetheless stay points after the quarterback change. Their finest participant on protection, Brown, is on injured reserve and carried out for the season.
I believe Carolina is definitely upgrading its offense with the quarterback transfer, however the concept of Dalton — who has a 48 QBR because the begin of 2021 — parachuting into this group and turning it right into a division title contender appears far-fetched. In spite of everything, the Panthers have a 2.0% likelihood to make the playoffs and a 0.4% likelihood to win the NFC South. — Walder
