Watertown Daily Times December 31, 2018 Monday Section Four End of Some Eras, Start of Others Marked 2018 1 WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES December 31, 2018 MONDAY Section Four End of some eras, start of others marked 2018 By the Daily Times staff In 2018, some storied eras came to a close while others were just beginning. For the Green Bay Packers, a second straight season miss- ing the playoffs cost longtime head coach Mike McCarthy his job. His tenure will be best re- membered for the team’s fourth Super Bowl championship won in 2010. The downward slide could be attributed to injuries, underperforming draft picks over a long period of time or coaching, or all of them. Re- gardless, back-to-back seasons of missing the playoffs with one of the best quarterbacks in the game in Aaron Rodgers was unacceptable in Titletown. The Badgers took a step back both on the men’s basketball court and the gridiron. Wiscon- sin’s football team is used to playing in January bowl games and finished last season last year with a late December bowl game. The same was true this year. For anyone who remem- bers Badger football before Barry Alvarez arrived in 1993, these are still the good days with a high bar.

  • Former Ohio State Cornerback Eli Apple Agrees to One-Year Deal with the Carolina Panthers
    Former Ohio State Cornerback Eli Apple Agrees To One-Year Deal With The Carolina Panthers Nearly two months after his free-agent deal with the Las Vegas Raiders fell through, former Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple agreed to a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. The deal was first reported on Thursday by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who noted the deal is worth $3 million and includes a $750,000 signing bonus. The team later confirmed the signing. We've agreed to terms with Eli Apple! pic.twitter.com/u4FmMgfvUJ — Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) May 28, 2020 A first-round selection (10th overall) of the New York Giants in the 2016 NFL Draft, Apple struggled with injuries early in his career. He was also notably suspended by the team following an argument with a coach and called a “cancer” by teammate Landon Collins. Apple was then traded to New Orleans just five games into the 2018 season for a fourth- and seventh- round pick in the 2019 and 2020 drafts, respectively. He started 25 games with the Saints over the last two years, recording 13 pass break ups and two interceptions. The 24-year-old actually agreed in principle to a one-year, $6 million deal with the Raiders during the first week of free agency in March. But two sides were never able to finalize the agreement, and the team opted to former Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall at half the cost instead. Apple — who helped the Buckeyes to a national championship as a redshirt freshman in 2014 and was the most valuable defensive player of the 2016 Fiesta Bowl — will be reunited in Carolina with former Ohio State wide receiver Curtis Samuel and offensive lineman Branden Bowen.

  • CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville
    2018 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT APRIL 13, 2018 NFL Draft 2018 Scouting Report: CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville *CB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, Wonderlic test results leaked, etc. We will update info as it becomes available. Jaire Alexander is a 1st-round prospect for most…and when I contemplate Alexander’s true value, I always revert to comparing him to another 1st-round CB prospect – Mike Hughes, Central Florida. Both a little smaller than you’d like – 5′10″ and under 200 pounds. Alexander is a few pounds heavier, but Hughes is a little thicker/stronger. Both tested with great agility…Alexander with elite shuttle (3.98) and three-cone (6.71) times. Alexander’s quite a bit faster 40-time wise (4.38 vs. 4.53). In the end, Alexander has to be judged a better CB prospect than Mike Hughes – Alexander is a little bigger, faster, and more agile. Is Alexander worthy of 1st-round consideration? I think so. Given his speed-agility and his tape…it makes sense. Alexander is a little small out on an island in coverage, but I judged him as a superior coverage technician than Hughes…and one of the best craftsmen among the CB prospects in the 2018 draft class. When Alexander gets up in press, he has the quickness to mirror a WR all the way or recover if he loses a step off the jump. Alexander has a fantastic ability to locate the ball, and he also times his hand movements just right to chop/dislodge connected passes away from his WR.

Arizona has the potential to have top-five wide receiver group with DHop, AJ, Rondale Moore, and Christian Kirk.” The Cardinals have lots of depth now at QB: Kyler Murray saw his first snaps this preseason, but the wide receiver position with the additions for Green it was evident Kliff Kingsbury sees little value in giving and Moore this offseason. his superstar quarterback an extended preseason look. He played nine snaps against the Chiefs before giving TE: The tight end position remains one of the big way to Colt McCoy and Chris Streveler. Those nine question marks.
