[podcast]
DeAndre Hopkins interested in a return to Houston?
Now free, DeAndre Hopkins (WR) has not yet found a buyer. The Bills, Chiefs, Jets or Browns have been announced as interested, but nothing is moving.
The name of the Texans had not yet emerged. However, the Houston Chronicle now reports that the receiver would be interested in returning to the franchise that drafted him. His family still lives there. This would be hugely good news for CJ Stroud, the quarterback selected in second position in the last Draft.
A decision to rule out for Hopkins? Detroit. In any case, Dan Campbell does not seem interested.
“I’m not going to comment on him. But, I like our receivers committee. I think we have a good mix of different types of players. I think it’s really important to have a good mix of skills in the different positions between tight ends, quarterbacks and receivers – and I think we have it. We have possession, explosiveness and speed. We have consistency and speed. »
It is true that the Michigan franchise does not lack talent at the post. Carried by Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, Lions) author of a season at more than 1,000 yards, the Lions’ aerial attack finished sixth in the league in 2022.

In short
– We’re in the mood for CJ Stroud (QB, Texans) in Houston. Draft number 2 would be “ already very, very early » when it comes to footwork and timing work, according to Jerrod Johnson, his stance coach. “He really wants to learn, and learn defense too. He asks what we call, what was the cover, what we did. I respect that”, agrees defensive coordinator Matt Burke. (HoustonChronicle)
– Laviska Shenault (WR, Panthers), secret weapon of the Panthers? Frank Reich explained to the press that he would see a role at Deebo Samuel (WR, 49ers) for his player. ” Even if we had a grand plan, and maybe we do, I wouldn’t tell you about all the ways we can use it.“, explained the coach to USA Today. “You look at guys like Deebo Samuel and you’re like, ‘ Can Laviska do some of these things? Of course. We’ll test some of these things and see. Some will be included, some will not. Shenault scored on a 41-yard run last year.
Dolphins players rewarded
Miami will use only six of the ten days of training allowed in the spring. NFL coaches who deprive themselves of training days are rare. But for Mike McDaniel, it’s recognition of the work done.
“We impose less training on them because they deserve it, by the way they have approached the whole off-season. My standards of preparation are very high. They understood it and fulfilled the expectations. I think in these circumstances everyone gets a little reward here or there,” McDaniels told reporters.
For the Titans, it’s time to learn the new attack
With the arrival of the new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, we must now learn new game patterns for the 28th attack in the league in 2022. And like all learning, it is by making mistakes that we learn. For Tennessee, it’s always best to do them during practice.
Ryan Tannehill (QB) responded to the daily Tennessean on this subject.
“We are now learning about a new attack. Containing this attack is our number one priority. We have to use every training. There are a lot of new things, terminology, concept and block diagrams. There are still a lot of mistakes but they are good mistakes. They make us grow. »
Tannehill could take advantage of this to revive after the last two exercises far from the level shown in 2020. At 34, and in the last year of his contract, the former Miami will have to do much better if he wants to stay in Tennessee.
Patrick Mahomes praises Blaine Gabbert
Recently recruited by Kansas City to compensate for the retirement of Chad Henne, Blaine Gabbert (QB, Chiefs) pleases the star of his new franchise. For USA TodayPatrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs) declined all the qualities that make Gabbert an excellent replacement.
“First of all, I know Blaine from Chad (Henne) who played with him in Jacksonville, and he thought highly of him. Since he has been on our premises, he has been a real pro. You can see his talent, and why he was selected in the top 10, with the power of his arm and things like that. He was Tom Brady’s replacement, so I’m listening to all the advice he can give me. If you learn from this guy, you learn from the right person. »
Mac Jones: “JuJu Smith-Schuster is a football geek, a bit like me”
In an interview for NESN.com this Wednesday, Mac Jones (QB, Patriots) explained all the good he thought of his new receiver.
“I think JuJu’s did a good job, also thanks to their leading position. He is someone who brings his leadership qualities to different positions. He just left a team that won the Super Bowl, it’s a great opportunity for our offense. When he’s going to be on the pitch it’s going to be great because he’s got experience and he loves to talk about football. He’s just a football geek, a bit like me I think.”
At the Chiefs, Smith-Schuster received 78 passes for 933 yards and 3 touchdowns during the regular season. He completed his playoff season with 89 yards on 10 receptions.
