NFL Champions
Lorenzo Raees has returned with his best bet for the AFC and the NFC Championship Games. He also threw a couple of bonus player props for those interested.
As much as we have never seen this role in the NFC Championship game by Washington commanders, the best deceased quarterback has made fuel, I couldn’t help but some of the so -called “old heads “I’m watching. On Saturday night, in the festival’s locker room in Ford Field.
There was Zach ErritzThe 34 -year -old tough end that many people may have thought were near the end of the last season, when he lost the last 10 games of Arizona Cardinals with quad stress and posted less than 27 catches from his career. A year ago, its season ended with a torn length of the knee.
Now Artz is heading back to Philadelphia, where its records still stand as the most difficult end in the history of the Eagles.
Austein acre This compound is also part of it. He is only 29 years old but has played eight demanding season after running behind the NFL. Translated, which means that Acler 47 is like “running back years.” He scored NFL High 38 touchdowns in 2021 and 2022, when he traveled an average of 1,598 yards from the scheme with Los Angeles Chargers, but when he could not get a long -term extension he was dirty (hold (hold) Out, trade application).
Now Akar, who had 88 rosing yards in the Divisional Playoff win in Detroit, is ready to play for the first time in the conference title match.
Then there is Bobby Wagner. Its presence is surprised in another sense.
During his second NFL season with Seattle C. Hawks, Wagner won a super bowl color as a member of the Winned Defense, headed by his “Lashkar -e -Boom” secondary. The next year, he went back to the Super Bowl and was in a position to win … until Russell Wilson’s last minute, picking up a goal line.
In the subsequent decade, the 34 -year -old Wagner did not smell the super bowl. So far
Vegner went to the playoff five times with Si Hawks during his last seven season and never went through the divisional round. This is one of the reasons that in its 14th NFL season, Grizzid Weight is saving this new deal.
“That means a lot,” Wagner told USA Today Sports. “When I first went to the league, we made it to the super bowl once again in our second year, in our third year, and then we did not return to the NFC Championship game. They admire that they now have a little different, knowing how difficult it is to go to them.
Wagner is undoubtedly a great key to Washington’s formula that has only become the third sixth seed to get upset and move forward in a super bowl. The middle line baker led the commanders with 132 tricks during the regular season, but this unit is far from the dominance of the old C -Hawks Super Bowl defense, which was accidentally integrated by Washington coach Dan Queen.
The commanders signed a contract for the fourth worst run of NFL during the regular season. And now the challenge of handling the Eagles, which overtakes Sakin Barclay, who runs for Los Angeles Ramus last weekend for 205 yards and two touchdowns. During his 2,000 yard season, Barclass went to 146 and 150 yards against the commanders.
“You just try to overcome it, keeping in mind that when guards get out of their space, Berkeley’s long distance,” Wagner told reporters of Commander Headquarters this week. “This is about to become a game of discipline.”
I asked Wagner, whose career related to the Hall of Fame includes 11 All Pro Selection, to compare the commanders to their old C -Hawks team. Like Washington, Wilson also had a young quarterback, who was in the same Seattle draft class with Wagner in 2012. And the youth were presented on the board with the choice of Richard Sherman (2011, the fifth round), Earl Thomas (2010, 2010.
Wagner said, “If I compare it to these teams, the biggest thing is how close we are.
Akar will not dispute with it. He pointed out that there were 60 new players at the 90 -member roster at the top of the new GM Adam Peters, Quinn and new coaches, when the team started an office season exercise in the spring last spring. They were deliberate to spend time far away from the field.
“I think this is an important place of our brotherhood, and we also have the ability to do,” Acler told USA Today Sports. “Many people gathered that were new in the area. You can’t really measure the way we are connected.
“And then you show a crazy year as a crazy year in 5,” he added, citing Daniels.
