With all this talk of who the Jets could add in free agency this offseason, it’s been a while since we discu sed which free agents could leave New York and sign with a new team.Wideout Jamison Crowder is and other veterans (like offensive lineman Morgan Moses) are poised to follow suit.One contributor that’s Deandre Baker Jersey been a leader in green and white, however, is viewed as one of the hidden gems from this year’s free agent cla s. this week, identifying the most overrated and underrated free agents at every position. When he got to the safety position, he pulled a name from New York’s secondary:Underrated: Marcus Maye2021 team: Jets | Age entering 2022 season: 28Maye is going to sign a one-year, prove-it deal in free agency after rupturing his Achilles in the midst of his 2021 campaign. The Jets safety role changed this past year when he played far more in the box, which played a part in a dip in PFF grade. But his multiple seasons of high grades at deep safety should draw interest from several teams. Since 2018, Maye owns the second-highest PFF grade at free safety, behind only Kevin Byard. TreashAs Treash alluded to, Maye’s 2021 campaign came to an abrupt close when he suffered B.J. Hill Jersey a last November. Over the six games he did play, the former second-round pick had 46 tackles, one sack, two pa s deflections and four tackles for lo s.In 2020, his last full season with New York, Maye had a career year. The safety played all 16 games99.82% of Jets’ snaps on defensewhile setting career highs in tackles (88), pa ses defended (11) and sacks (2).Scroll to ContinueA suming Maye is able to completely move on from last year’s injury, Riley Dixon Jersey the team that signs the safety will be getting a defensive back that’s hungry to prove he’s worthy of a big-time contract. Remember, Maye from New York last offseason, unable to come to an agreement with the Jets on any long-term deal. might complicate things, but he profiles as a solid addition for a team seeking to contend. Production aside, Maye always stood out as a vocal leader on this struggling Jets team, a role model for other young defensive backs.If you’re curious, Treash had Seattle’s Quandre Diggs as the most overrated safety available this offseason.Here’s his explanation why:Diggs is a good safety, but he’s not worthy of the top-tier money he probably will cost. His career-best PFF grade came in 2019 when he earned a 73.4 overall mark. And that still wasn’t enough to crack the top 20 at the position. Kyle Lauletta Jersey Diggs is a reliable, but not elite, starting safety.MORE:

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t have to travel far to see the display of speed at the NFL Combine being held at Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday.The wide receivers in attendance had the fastest average time in the 40-yard dash since 2003 at 4.48.

The Indianapolis Colts finally have their quarterback, as they have made the James Hurst Jersey move to acquire former MVP Matt Ryan. The Colts send out the 82nd overall pick to the Atlanta Falcons in the trade.This move is eerily similar to when the team brought in Philip Rivers back in 2020. Rivers was able to bring stability to a position that was in turmoil for the team, and Ryan will look to do the same after the disastrous Carson Wentz trade. Ryan, like Rivers, is a highly decorated quarterback on the backend of a fringe-Hall of Fame career. The biggest concern with acquiring a player like this is if the arm talent will be enough to promote big plays on offense. In today’s film room, I take a look at some advanced stats (and some film) to see if Matt Ryan will be able to help or hurt the Colts’ down the field pa sing game. To properly a se s how Matt Ryan performed on deeper throws in 2021, let’s compare him to the quarterback that the Colts just shipped out. Carson Wentz was brought to the Colts in an effort to revitalize a downfield pa sing attack that underperformed in 2020 under Rivers. On pa ses attempted with a minimum of 20 air yards in 2021, Wentz completed 42.4% of his pa ses for 842 yards (14.3 yards per attempt) and seven touchdowns with three interceptions. Wentz also had an average of 3.41 seconds to throw on such attempts.Ryan, with the desolate Falcons’ offense, completed 43.1% of his pa ses for 762 yards (14.9 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns with one interception on such throws. Ryan also had an average of 2.90 seconds to throw on these attempts.Just by looking at these raw numbers (that were provided by Pro Football Focus), these two quarterbacks are pretty comparable in this department. Ryan had a higher yards per attempt and got the ball out quicker on these throws, while Wentz had more attempts and touchdowns down the field. These stats tell us that there really shouldn’t be too much of a drop-off from Wentz to Ryan in the deep pa sing game. Ryan was still fairly efficient throwing the ball down the field, statistically, and almost matched the production the Colts got from Carson Wentz in this area last year. While Ryan’s arm is not nearly as good as Wentz’s, it is noticeably stronger than Philip Rivers’ arm in 2020. Ryan has a bit of an elongated throwing motion, but he can still generate velocity down the field when he has to. On top of still being able Marquise Brown Jersey to drive the ball down the field, Ryan has impre sive touch on his deep pa ses. This clip below was one of my favorites during my film study. The Falcons isolate running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson with the defensive back at the bottom of the screen. The call is a simple double move, and Patterson is able to create separation with ease down the field. Ryan sees this and lofts a beautiful deep ball to his open target. The ball has enough air under it to fly over the trailing defensive back, but also enough zip to get to the target before the safety can close over Ronnie Stanley Jersey the top. Even when he can’t step into his throws, he can still get the ball down the field. This is certainly an area where Rivers lacked when he came to the Colts. He could get the ball down the field in space, but he struggled when he had to use an ounce of athleticism to make a play. Scroll to ContinueRyan is still fairly nimble at 36 years old. He won’t chuck a ball 50 yards down the field while getting hit by a defender, but he can still put the ball out there with just pure arm talent. On this clip below, he delivers a pa s down the field without truly being able to step into his throw (due to defenders being at his feet). As I mentioned above, Ryan is not the type of quarterback that will break out of the pile and pick up big yards with his feet. He is, however, a type that can be agile in the pocket and break out of a few sacks. This play below is quickly blown up by the defensive tackle. Ryan is being hit by the defender as he looks up after the play-action, but he is still able to make something happen. He sheds the tackle attempt and rolls out of the pocket to his left. While on the move, Ryan is able to stop, reset his feet, and fire an accurate pa s down the field for a big gain.While fans have been a bit terrified that this acquisition could hinder the Colts’ downfield pa sing capabilities, I haven’t seen anything on film to suggest that could be the case. Ryan isn’t as mobile or as strong as Carson Wentz, but he is certainly a step above Philip Rivers in Morgan Cox Jersey those departments. With Ryan, the Colts are getting an accurate player that can move the offense AND a player that can attack downfield when need be. While he is far from a perfect player at the stage of his career, he is not limited in any way that could hurt the offense. Overall, this was a phenomenal move by the Colts’ front office to pivot from a volatile Carson Wentz to a steady, reliable Matt Ryan. The team truly upgraded at the most important position in the game, even if it took them a while to make this move. At the end of the day, though, Ryan still has plenty of juice to rip pa ses like these down the field.

There aren’t many coaches, if any, judged on a week-to-week basis more than Auburn’s Gus Malzhan.With each week, however, it’s becoming le s about Malzahn’s job security and more about how Auburn can impact the Ugo Amadi Jersey College Football Playoff picture. Whether that’s as spoiler or contender remains to be seen, but the Tigers reminded everyone what the in-between looks like in a convincing 28-20 victory at No. 17 Texas A&M on Saturday.Auburn is in the top 10. Auburn is 4-0. Auburn looks like the team that could crack that six-team aristocracy of Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma at the top of college football. Well, at least we get to see the Tigers play half of the membership.MORE: TiAuburn is the chaos team of 2019, and it’s time to embrace that every week.Freshman quarterback Bo Nix (12 of 20, 100 yards, touchdown) is at the center of that with a box-of-chocolates-game full of the unexpected. He’s still progre sing in Malzhan’s offense, but his long ball for better or worse has opened the offense because the threat of the deep shot is there.Auburn had a 14-3 lead at halftime despite going 4 of 9 pa sing for 38 yards in the first half. Then Nix opened the second half with three completions, including a 9-yard touchdown to Seth Williams, to build a 21-3 lead.When Texas A&M cut that lead to 21-10 in the fourth quarter, Nix led a 12-play, 69-yard touchdown drive that took 6:01 off the clock in response. That’s a veteran drive. Nix outplayed veteran quarterback Kellen Mond and continues to build on a legacy that started with the .Auburn has a defensive line that can alter offensive game plans. Texas A&M (2-2) had 13 rushing attempts for 12 yards at halftime, and their running backs Marquise Blair Jersey had eight carries for minus-7 yards. The Aggies finished with 21 carries for 56 yards. Mond finished 31 of 49 for 335 yards and two touchdowns, but that Kevin Steele defense kept everything in front on the road. The Aggies generated just two drives with double-digit plays, and those resulted in three points.Of course, Texas A&M made it a one-score game, and that is just part of the deal for Auburn. Nix closed this one out with a zone-read pull for a 7-yard gain with 1:45 remaining. They are going to play more one-score games along the way. Some things never change with Malzahn.Malzhan’s offense can still be unconventionally beautiful, and no play personified that more than Anthony Schwartz’s for the game’s first touchdown. Auburn doesn’t have a Heisman Trophy quarterback, running back or a roster that is going to generate giant blowouts over the next eight weeks.But we’re going to get to see Auburn play just about everybody they need to in order to take the next Richard Sherman Jersey step. The Tigers’ remaining schedule is arguably the most intriguing in the FBS:Date Opponent Sept. 28vs. Mi si sippi StateOct. 5at No. 9 FloridaOct. 19at ArkansasOct. 26at No. 4 LSUNov. 2vs. Ole Mi sNov. 16vs. No. 3 GeorgiaNov. 23vs. SamfordNov. 30vs. No. 2 AlabamaMORE: The Tigers alternate between unranked and top-10 opponents with two byes in between, and the tests at The Swamp and Death Valley in October will determine whether the po sibility for a magical November on the Plains could happen again. That’s because Auburn gets Georgia and Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and in the proper setting it’s one David Moore Jersey of the toughest place to play in the entire country.Is that good enough to push lightning back into the bottle for the third time this decade? Malzhan made it happen in 2010 and again in 2013, and the Tigers will close in 2017. This team is good enough to pick off at least one of Florida, LSU, Georgia and Alabama. Can they get a split? Three? A sweep?Malzahn’s job security will always be talked about in between as that schedule unfolds, but it’s clear the noise isn’t bothering the coach or his team.”One week at a time” is working in the other direction instead.
