t decision was not a wri

[huangjian123]

The Packers have seen big changes to their front office and coaching staff since the end of the season with new General Manager Brian Gutekunst joining new offensive and defensive coordinators as the team tries to bounce back from their first losing season since 2008.

There have also been changes to the roster Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , including the departure of wide receiver Jordy Nelson and acquisitions of free agents like Jimmy Graham and Muhammad Wilkerson. Head coach Mike McCarthy remains in place, but said at last week’s league meetings that the changes have gone beyond the new hires in those positions. McCarthy said the team has taken a “scrub-brush approach to the whole system” that includes changes to their well-worn offensive playbook.

“This offseason resembles a Year One offseason,鈥?McCarthy said, via ESPN.com. 鈥淥bviously the defense is going through that because they鈥檙e building a brand-new playbook, new coaching staff Alex Okafor Jersey , new philosophy. There is some carryover from our old defense. But offensively, when you have the same offensive system for 12 years, you鈥檙e playing late into the playoffs, you usually turn the page and evaluate and just try to evolve off what you did last year. We鈥檝e taken a totally different approach. We鈥檝e gone back to Page 1 in the playbook.”

One thing that won’t change about the offense is that it will lean heavily on quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose broken collarbone contributed enough to the team’s slide in 2017 and whose health will be vital to the chances of the new approach finding better success.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank believes players should have the right to speak out on important issues even though he isn’t expecting his players to protest during the national anthem this season.

Blank says just like last season Terrell Suggs Jersey , Falcons players have been asked to stand for the national anthem.

He said the Falcons are ”very committed to the military.” He also says he believes players have ”very significant rights” and appeared to say he wouldn’t fine players for exercising those rights.

Blank said players should be allowed to make their own decisions on what he described as the ”complex issue” of standing or kneeling for the national anthem.

”So if you have players who still feel that’s the way they have to express themselves, they will,” he said, adding ”I don’t think you’ll see” protests.

”But it’s far better in my opinion to have somebody make those decisions themselves than to hit them over the head with a hammer,” he said.

Blank’s comments came as the NFL and NFLPA Hau'oli Kikaha Jersey , the players’ union, held what they said in a joint statement was ”a constructive meeting” about the anthem policy. They said their talks will continue.

Last season, two Falcons defensive linemen – Grady Jarrett and Dontari Poe, now with Carolina – knelt during the anthem before the team’s game at Detroit on Sept. 24. After the game, coach Dan Quinn described the action as a ”one-off.”

The Falcons held a team meeting and decided players would stand together during the anthem for other games.

Quinn said that decision was not a written policy ”but more one that was really based on the heart of brotherhood to say Thurman Thomas Jersey , `What we do, we’ll do it together.”’

No players took a knee during the anthem the remainder of the season.
