Minshew, who only had one incompletion recently– and that was a drop– is simply 2 for 6 so far.
Week 1 had a little bit of whatever, with a couple of blowouts, a couple of thrillers, a few stunning upsets and a lot of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. If were lucky, Week 2 will provide much of the very same.
Injuries to Bosa and Thomas hobble 49ers defensive line.
A double dose of awful injury news for the San Francisco 49ers, who are already missing out on tight end George Kittle, cornerback Richard Sherman and defensive end Dee Ford. Within a period of three plays in the first quarter, two of their defensive linemen– Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas– were hauled off the field with knee injuries.
Bosa, last seasons leading defensive novice, appeared to injure his left knee while engaged with Jets tight end Trevon Wesco, who pressed him backwards while completing a block. Bosas leg bent at a strange angle, and after attempting to get up, he returned down and awaited medical attention.
Minshew Magic disappears fast.
The glass shoe is not fitting so well for recentlys Cinderella team. Gardener Minshew was the talk of the N.F.L. in Week 1 when he finished 95 percent of his passes in the Jacksonville Jaguars stunning victory over Indianapolis, but he tossed an interception on his very first drive today and his group is trailing the Tennessee Titans, 14-0, in the very first quarter.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill hooked up with tight end Jonnu Smith for a 63-yard catch-and-run on the groups first drive, and then got into the end zone with a 13-yard pass to Smith. Derrick Henry, the groups star running back, has actually been peaceful so far with 3 carries for 8 backyards.
The 49ers start with a goal.
Its possible that the start of the Jets video game Sunday could have gone worse. Mostert, the 49ers speedster who had four goals in the N.F.C. championship video game versus Green Bay, had a 76-yard goal reception last week versus Arizona.
It might be simpler to say who isnt harm for San Francisco.
Health is a big element for sustained success, and with the luck the San Francisco 49ers have been having just recently, it could be what puts them in a huge hole in the N.F.C. West simply a season after they made a journey to the Super Bowl.
Till shortly before Week 1, the 49ers believed they might have broad receiver Deebo Samuel back for the start of the season despite a damaged foot sustained in June. Rather, the dynamic second-year player did not reach standards the group set, and he was put on this seasons special three-game variation of hurt reserve.
San Francisco likewise started the season without starting center Weston Richburg, and in the groups stunning loss in the house to Arizona in Week 1, cornerback Richard Sherman injured his calf and joined Samuel on the hurt reserve. In possibly the most significant short-term blow, tight end George Kittle sprained his knee and will be out for this week, and possibly longer.
The 49ers are a talented team, with an adequate depth to contend even with numerous stars sidelined– especially against the Jets. However with Seattle, Los Angeles and Arizona having each won their opening week games, and each having a solid opportunity at winning again this week, the pressure is all of a sudden on the 49ers to figure things out in a hurry.
The 49ers revealed that both Bosa and Thomas will not return Sunday. Without Bosa, Ford and Thomas, the 49ers best remaining pass-rushers are Kerry Hyder Jr. and Arik Armstead. Any extended absence for Bosa, who amounted to 80 sacks, hurries and pressures for San Francisco last season, will seriously damage the 49ers possibilities of competing, not to mention repeating as N.F.C. champs.
Is it a Lambeau Leap if no one exists to catch you?
” Youll certainly still see a Lambeau Leap from me, most likely right on among those tarps,” Jones told reporters after practice on Friday.
Jones has factor to be positive hell score. The 25-year-old scored 19 goals during the 2019 routine season, entering completion zone at least as soon as in 10 of his 16 video games In Green Bays Week 1 demolition of the Minnesota Vikings, Jones brought the ball 16 times for 66 backyards, scoring on a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be brief at pass receiver with Chris Godwin eliminated as he works his method through the N.F.L.s concussion protocol. His fellow star receiver, Mike Evans, will be active regardless of a hamstring injury.
The Denver Broncos will lack running back Philiip Lindsay, who is out with a toe injury. That need to lead to an increased workload for Melvin Gordon.
The excellent offending line of the Dallas Cowboys will be shorthanded with left tackle Tyron Smith remaining with a neck injury. The group was currently missing out on right take on Lael Collins, who is on this seasons mini variation of hurt reserve.
George Kittle and Chris Godwin heading this weeks inactives.
Heading into the 1 p.m. video games, there was great news and problem for groups waiting on updates on their hurt gamers.
In: The Miami Dolphins are strengthened by large receiver DeVante Parker being cleared to play after hurting his hamstring in a Week 1 loss to New England. Parker had a peaceful day versus New Englands stellar secondary, and he has a similarly difficult job this week against Buffalos fantastic defense.
Wide receiver Golden Tate is active for the Giants after he missed out on the groups loss to Pittsburgh with a hamstring injury.
Linebacker Khalil Mack of the Chicago Bears had the ability to enter into last weeks surprising win over Detroit regardless of a knee injury, and hes active again today for Chicagos match with the Giants.
Out: Tight end George Kittle will miss out on San Franciscos game against the Jets as he works his way back from a sprained knee. Kittle was able to jog off the field at the time of the injury, and was practicing previously in the week, however the team chose to rest him.
The Green Bay Packers will not be playing in front of any fans at Lambeau Field, however that will not stop running back Aaron Jones from making a Lambeau Leap– it just suggests there will not be anybody to capture him.
Can any of recentlys Cinderellas get to 2-0?
It was a genuinely ugly Week 1 for Minnesotas defense, as the absence of the hurt Danielle Hunter– and the teams choice to jettison a number of stars– led to Green Bay doing just about anything it desired. Indianapolis is preferred in the game, mostly because Minnesota still has the exact same issues on defense it did a week back.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill hooked up with tight end Jonnu Smith for a 63-yard catch-and-run on the teams first drive, and then got into the end zone with a 13-yard pass to Smith. Mostert, the 49ers speedster who had four touchdowns in the N.F.C. championship video game against Green Bay, had a 76-yard touchdown reception last week against Arizona.
In Green Bays Week 1 demolition of the Minnesota Vikings, Jones carried the ball 16 times for 66 lawns, scoring on a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Fortunately is that the Sunday night video game shouldnt seem like that much of a disappointment, as Cam Newton and the new-look New England Patriots are in Seattle to deal with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Between Newtons running, Wilsons overall sparkle, and the star-studded defenses on both groups, the nightcap could live up to its video game of the week billing.
The Vikings and the Colts would like to forget Week 1.
It was a genuinely awful Week 1 for Minnesotas defense, as the lack of the hurt Danielle Hunter– and the groups decision to reject numerous stars– caused Green Bay doing practically anything it wanted. However hey, at least they didnt lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Indianapolis Colts would likely have actually chosen their destruction coming at the hands of Aaron Rodgers.
Today, Minnesota and Indianapolis will face off attempting to erase any and all memories of recentlys failures. Disallowing a tie, among these playoff hopefuls will start the season with an 0-2 record.
Indianapolis is preferred in the video game, mostly due to the fact that Minnesota still has the very same problems on defense it did a week back. There also exists a relatively pervasive belief that the Colts just cant be that bad on offense or defense, even with running back Marlon Mack out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Jonathan Taylor was expected to take over for Mack at some time this season anyhow, so this simply moves up the timetable, and a defense that has Darius Leonard, Justin Houston and DeForest Buckner can generally be depended on to not be humiliated.
A smart observer may have been keeping an eye on the upstart Arizona Cardinals for a potential upset in Week 1, however nobody saw the Washington Football Team or the Jacksonville Jaguars coming. Those groups were both anticipated to be basement dwellers all season, but they got off to a terrific start by beating the Philadelphia Eagles and the Indianapolis Colts, respectively.
… can they do it again?
The problem for the Footballers is that theyre playing the Cardinals, and Arizonas offending line is not almost as beat up as Philadelphias was. With Kyler Murray slinging balls all over the field to broad receives DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald, while likewise serving as a huge risk while running the ball, Washington could be in a lot of problem.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, need to be thrilled with Gardner Minshews execution in a game in which he completed 95 percent of his passes while throwing 3 touchdown passes, but they may wish to bear in mind that they would not have actually beaten the Colts if not for Philip Rivers gift-wrapping them 14 points in the type of two interceptions. Anticipating the Tennessee Titans to be so generous would not be wise.
Big wait for the big video games.
The 4 p.m. Eastern time games can in some cases appear like an opportunity to catch a break between the busy early action, and the Sunday night game. That technique will not work today, as some of the best action is set to begin at 4:25 p.m Eastern.
The Kansas City Chiefs are on the roadway dealing with the Los Angeles Chargers, a group that probably shouldnt be anticipated to provide Patrick Mahomes all that much difficulty, but is far from a pushover. The Baltimore Ravens, meanwhile, remain in Houston where Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson will face off in a fight of two of the best quarterbacks in the video game– Watson, however, probably wishes he had Jacksons teammates.
