The NFL underwent its first significant regular-season schedule change since 1978, as the owners approved the addition of a this offseason. The change was a year in the making as the owners had the option in the new collective bargaining agreement to increase the number of regular-season games per club to 17 -- but not more -- at any time. The change will also result in the league reducing preseason games from four to three -- the maximum amount of games the Derrick Coleman Jersey new CBA allows.By clicking , you can view the full preseason schedule.

Week 8 NFL Practice Squad Power Rankings

Practice Squad Wide Receivers Matter. I need to slap that on a T-shirt. Seriously.Last night, in one of the more compelling games I can remember, the got four receptions and 30 yards from practice-squad call up . Those figures came in a contest that featured an uncharacteristic performance from . He finished with a yards-per-attempt average under 5.0 for just the 11th time in his illustrious tenure as the Packers starter.Winfree was the leading yardage accumulator at the receiver position for Los Angeles Clippers Jeresy Green Bay in Week 8, which of course was helped by the fact that , , and were sidelined. Winfree's effort piggybacks off of more-than-just-capable practice squad running backs, and boils down to this -- ancillary production in the can be generated by simple opportunity.Plug in your hungry practice squad wideout who's been going hard during the week, give him some looks as either the first or second read on a pa s play, and he will make an impact. Trust me. Therefore, to push forward the Practice Squad Receivers Matter movement, I'm giving a little extra attention to those wideouts patiently waiting on practice squads acro s the league, who I am absolutely positive could provide, at the very least, a Winfree-esque performance if called upon.Dazz Newsome needs a chance in Chicago. He ascends the rankings this week because, well, the Bears need to do things differently on offense. My 4 year old can see that. And Newsome is a young quarterback's best friend. He can get open in a hurry underneath, and his YAC abilities can turn three-yard routes into 10-yard gains.I feel similarly about Seahawks rookie receiver , and how he could help Seattle's anemic Geno Smith-led attack. He's a compact, crafty route runner with just enough juice needed to generate sizable gains on high-percentage throws. Added to The PSPR for Week 8 is Montrezl Harrell Jersey of the , a seventh-round selection in April. The Saints are another NFC team that, my word, must make some changes offensively. They're unrecognizable. The Bears are averaging 124.4 pa sing yards per game, which feels like a misprint. The Saints are 31st in pa sing yards per outing, at a pedestrian 176.2. Sean Payton cannot be happy.And hats off to New Orleans for grinding out wins during this aerially challenged period. But they have the , Bills, and within their next six games. They're going to need to crank things up on offense or they'll get their doors blown off.Heading into the weekend, THE CALL -- call-ups from The PSPR list -- remains at five. We've hit a little snag. in Pittsburgh. from Houston to Cleveland. Cam Lewis with the . and last week. If you hear of a PSPR member getting The Call, alert me on Twitter, and feel free to use the hashtag #PSPR. Thank you in advance. Your next drink's on me. As a refresher, teams can have up to 16 players on the practice squad with up to six "veterans" on it, players with no limitations as to their number of Patrick Beverley Jersey accrued seasons in the NFL.In a sense, I'm running the Practice Squad Power Rankings parallel to the NFL. That means, as was the case last year, I'm not going to feature "veterans." To continue to maintain the PSPR's sterling integrity, I'll only be including practice-squadders who are rookies, second-year players, or third-year players. That's it.And as you'll see below, I couldn't resist ranking more players, given the increase in practice squad sizes this season. To stay in line with the league's figure, I hope to write about 16 individuals every Friday: 10 officially in the rankings and six honorable mentions. Haynes was Seattle's fourth-round pick in 2019, and after beginning his rookie season on PUP due to a sports hernia surgery, he was thrust onto the field in the Seahawks' wild-card round win over the in Philadelphia. And he looked solid! He spent most of last season on IR with another injury, but he's healthy now and was dominant -- mostly against backups -- in the preseason. Plus, he tested like a prospect at the combine.I had a fourth-round grade on Green just a few months ago. He checked most of the boxes I have for a mid-round blocker who can come in and start right away. And . For reasons unbeknownst to me, Green went undrafted. But he protected like a -- you gue sed it -- early Day 3 pick in the preseason with one allowed pre sure on 43 pa s-blocking snaps. Naturally, the Texans released him on cutdown day, because Houston is completely set on its offensive line and doesn't need any young and talented blockers. Yeah right.It's going to take more than a first-year cut for me to drop my #TrustTheTape draft crush from the 2021 cla s. He recovered from a broken collarbone early in the offseason to get limited reps in the preseason. Get Newsome in the slot and let him work, Nagy. Snowden is impo sibly long at over 6-foot-6 with 34-inch arms. He's e sentially the size of some of the longer offensive tackles in the NFL, except he's probably Ivica Zubac Jersey playing somewhere in the 240s. So he clearly needs to add weight. But Snowden understands how to use his length to keep blockers from obliterating him. At Virginia, he had 28.5 tackles for lo s in his final three seasons. The Bears have two high-end edge players in and . But Snowden can be a hybrid overhang player to create even more mismatches for Chicago's defense.The Bills grabbed Lewis from nearby University at Buffalo during the undrafted free agency frenzy immediately following the 2019 draft. And he's quietly gone about his busine s in two preseasons by allowing just 91 yards on 10 receptions, and he's clung to a practice-squad spot in Buffalo because he's a super-steady tackler in space. Head coach Sean McDermott loves that from his corners.The Seahawks are the of the NFC in that they adore late-round and undrafted free agent receivers. Johnson will be the next against-all-odds story in Seattle, a small, crisp route-runner who's feisty after the catch and hauls in everything thrown in his direction. Sound like any recently productive Seahawks receiver? Doaks' yards-per-carry averaged dipped in each of his three seasons with the Bearcats, but the 5.9 yards-per-carry clip as a freshman indicates he's had "it" from a young age. And his film was loaded with seriously powerful finishes through contact. Plus, he's a reliable receiver, and the Dolphins utilize their backs as pa s-catchers often.With out for the monstrous Week 8 outing, why didn't Arizona give Carter a shout? I know, they don't play the exact same positions, but the Cardinals needed as many pa s-rushing bodies as they could get for their matchup against Aaron Rodgers. The Call was never made, and, Arizona lost. SMH. Carter has the girth, leverage, burst, and just Nicolas Batum Jersey enough pa s-rush moves to be a productive contributor Arizona. I'm very high on him.Brown had a long and illustrious career at UAB. He brought a solid 4.7 yards-per-carry average in 858 carries acro s four seasons into the NFL. He's a hybrid-type back who's not incredibly shifty nor overwhelmi

Comparing the superior QB draft classes

For nearly 40 years, the gold standard for quarterback draft cla ses has been the quarterbacks selected in the 1983 draft, headlined by Dan Marino, John Elway and Jim Kelly. That cla s largely went unrivaled until 2004, when three future Hall of Fame quarterbacks were selected during the first 11 picks.It didn't take long for comparisons to be made between the two quarterback draft cla ses. Comparisons had been somewhat premature until retirement earlier this offseason. With Roethlisberger now joining and in retirement, the conversations can truly begin as to whether or not the cla s of Big Ben, Manning and Rivers was able to supplant the '83 group as the greatest quarterback draft cla s of all time.Here was the criteria used when determining which was the better cla s.Statistical excellenceIndividual accoladesTeam succe sEnduring legacy/impact on the gameHow each individual quarterback ranks all-timeWithout further ado, let's dive right in.Statistical excellenceEdge: Cla s of '04Sure, you can (rightly) argue that the '04 quarterbacks have an unfair advantage here. They had the benefit of playing in a more modern pa sing era that included more focus on throwing while defenses faced more restrictions when it comes to hitting receivers and quarterbacks.
