Top Ten Defensive Performances of 2017: #9 Chris McCain v. DEN #9.)

Week 7 Chris McCain vs. Denver - 4 tackles Womens Virgil Green Jersey , 2 sacks, 2 Forced FumblesChris McCain was a complete unknown going into the 2017 season. Fans knew he was a tall, lanky pass rusher who had spent some time with a few teams prior to joining the Bolts, but that was about it. After making the 53-man roster, he settled into a rotational role behind OLB/DE Melvin Ingram at the LEO position where it didn’t take long for him to start showing why he was worthy of his spot on the team.There is no question that McCain’s breakout game of the year came against the Denver Broncos in their second contest against the Bolts. This game also happened to be a historic shutout for the Chargers rising defense.Doing more than his fair share, McCain posted an impressive and efficient stat line that included four tackles, two of them being sacks with both of those causing the Broncos’ Trevor Siemian to cough up the ball. Overall http://www.chargersfootballauthentics.com/melvin-gordon-jersey-authentic , #40 made the most of his snaps that day and was constantly a handful for Denver’s tackles, including 2017 first-round pick Garret Bolles.On his first sack, McCain showed the world just how important it is for pass rushers to master “running the hoop” in practice. Lining up at the left defensive end position, he starts in a wide 9 outside ofthe tight end and takes a loooooong loop around the right tackle. As he begins to win around the edge, Siemian starts to his left but can’t outrun the lengthy EDGE player. The ball is popped free and it’s Chargers ball.Below you an find the replay for his second sack and forced fumble of the evening.After the Chargers rescinded their second-round tender on McCain earlier this year, heeventually signed with the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. The loss of McCain leaves a wide open spot and will definitely create some needed competition for the other pass rushers in hopes of being able to play third fiddle to Bosa and Ingram in 2018. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has played his way into the edges of the MVP conversation, and at age 36 the question persists as to how long he’ll play football.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chargers want Rivers for “years to come.” It’s not quite clear what that means; he’s under contract only through 2019. When the time comes to talk about an extension Womens Darius Philon Jersey , it will be important for both sides to be clear about how long Rivers wants to play, because any signing bonus money applicable to years beyond his willingness to play would technically have to be repaid.Last year, after Russell Wilson echoed Tom Brady‘s desire to play until the age of 45, Rivers laughed at the possibility, making it clear in a visit to PFT Live that he’ll be coaching his son’s high-school football team at age 45. Rivers hasn’t said whether that means he’ll play beyond, or even to, the age of 40.Rivers turns 37 in less than two weeks. If the Chargers indeed want to keep him around through the opening of the team’s new stadium in 2020 Womens Russell Okung Jersey , it will make plenty of sense for team and player to have a frank, candid discussion about how long he wants to play, and how long the team wants him.
