New Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio has been coaching in the NFL for over 20 years. In that time Jonah Williams Jersey , he’s seen the Scouting Combine into the behemoth its become today. An event once primarily reserved for doing medical checks and interviews with draft hopefuls has become a made-for-TV production with televised positional drills and baseline testing.While the Combine has evolved into the production it is today, Fangio said there isn’t much he would change about the structure of the event. However, he did admit to being open to the idea of moving the date of the Combine back even further than it is now.“I think it was good a couple years ago when they moved it back cause it gave players that were playing in bowl games a chance to get in somewhat of a shape,” Fangio said on with Mike Florio and Chris Simms. “Everybody says they don’t worry about speed and 40 times but the fact is they do. And the player does. If you’re a player that’s played in a bowl game after New Year’s (Day) or an All-Star game, you’re not training to run a 40. So that’s why a lot of guys didn’t run at the Combine.The Scouting Combine has been a late-February staple for the NFL. However, in recent years it has moved back a week to where the event wraps up in the early days of March instead.“Now they moved it back a few weeks, you’re seeing more guys run,” Fangio said. “I wouldn’t be against them moving it back even more to get more guys working out and to eliminate a lot of these college pro days that are going on at the schools.”The NFL can’t move the Combine back much further without significantly altering its offseason calendar. The start of the new league year and free agency always lands around the second week of March. This year http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-drew-sample-jersey , the new league year officially begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 13 with a two-day legal tampering period beforehand. Having the Combine and free agency overlap would be unnecessary and problematic.Additionally, it wouldn’t wipe out the need for pro day workouts at schools either. Only 338 prospects were invited to the Combine this year. Those aren’t the only players that will potentially be drafted in April. The draft-eligible pool extends far beyond the 338 players that are in Indianapolis this week and those players will need their pro day workouts in front of scouts as well.Outside of a possible moving of the date, Fangio says he wouldn’t change anything about the event.“I think they’ve morphed it into about as big as you can get. … I don’t think I would take away anything.” he said. CHICAGO (AP) — AJ McCarron couldn’t remember having this much fun at any level of football.Trailing by five in the closing minutes, he told his teammates they were going to pull out the win and it would be a “legendary” moment for them.McCarron delivered in the end after struggling for most of the game, leading a fourth-quarter surge that culminated with a touchdown pass in the final minute, and the Buffalo Bills closed the preseason with a 28-27 victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.With both teams holding out their starters and few key reserves playing, the focus was on McCarron. For most of the game, he made a shaky case for a roster spot let alone a starting job Germaine Pratt Jersey , but he did come through down the stretch.He ran for a touchdown and threw for three more in the fourth — including a 6-yarder to Keith Towbridge in the closing minute. That capped an 84-yard drive that was aided by two roughing-the-passer calls, including one against Isaiah Irving on a fourth down at the Buffalo 3.“I looked at the group and told them, ‘Watch this, it’s gonna be legendary,'” McCarron said. “First, I said, ‘Watch this, we’re gonna go down and win and you’re gonna remember this for a long time so this is gonna be legendary — for us and for our group http://www.bengalscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ryan-finley-jersey , not knowing who’s (gonna be) here tomorrow.’ … It was just awesome to battle with them and probably the most fun I’ve ever had.”McCarron was 13 of 34 for 156 yards and had an interception returned for a touchdown in the early going. He could be the odd man out if the Bills opt to go with two quarterbacks rather than three, though coach Sean McDermott insisted he is “absolutely” in the race for the starting job with first-round pick Josh Allen and returning backup Nathan Peterman.He also said he has not decided who will start the opener at Baltimore on Sept. 9.CASE TO STAYTyler Bray made a case for the Bears to keep three quarterbacks. With Mitchell Trubisky and backup Chase Daniel not playing, Bray was 19 of 29 for 180 yards and an interception. Ryan Nall ran for 79 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown.“I like where we’re at,” said Bears coach Matt Nagy, in his first season. “We’ve got a lot of depth and we’re going to have some tough decisions here coming up.”Signed to a two-year deal in free agency after spending the past four seasons as Andy Dalton’s backup in Cincinnati, McCarron was considered the initial front-runner for the Bills’ starting job because he had more experience than Allen and returning backup Peterman.But he missed a little over a week after he bruised his right shoulder while being hit several times at Cleveland on Aug. 17. That injury along with his performance seemed to knock him out of the running for the starting job. It also raised questions about whether he will make the opening roster.But McCarron said he has “no clue” where he stands in the competition or if he’ll make the roster.“I understand you all want to talk about the QB competition, but I’m enjoying the game Renell Wren Jersey ,” he said.SLOW STARTMcCarron got off to a brutal start, throwing for just 39 yards and getting picked off twice in the first half.His troubles really began after Cody Parkey kicked a 47-yard field goal on Chicago’s first possession.Moments later, McCarron threw a pass right to the Bears’ Doran Grant along the sideline, resulting in a 33-yard touchdown return . And just like that, it was 10-0.Parkey added a 23-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. Nall made it 20-0 with just under two minutes left in the half with his 32-yard TD run up the right sideline, though the Bears missed another opportunity in the closing seconds after McCarron got picked off again.Chicago’s Abdullah Anderson tipped a pass at the line, leading to an interception for John Timu. But Parkey’s 39-yard attempt hit the right upright.NATIONAL ANTHEMThere were no protests by either team during the anthem.INJURIESBills: WR Ray McCloud III suffered a knee injury.Bears: TE Daniel Brown suffered a shoulder injury on a 27-yard catch in the third and left the game. Nagy said he’s not sure if it’s “day by day or week by week.” … LB Kasim Edebali was helped off the field and taken from the sideline on a cart with a bruised leg after a run by Buffalo on the first play of the fourth quarter.NEXT UPBills: Open season at Baltimore on Sept. 9.Bears: Open season at Green Bay on Sept. 9.
