STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- James Franklin generally proceeds with caution, dialing back his teams practice regimens as ftball seasons grind on.But Penn States coach has never had to consider doing so this early.A rash of injuries had Franklin worrying aloud following his teams 49-10 loss to No. 4 Michigan on Saturday. He feared Penn State, with four linebackers hurt, might not be able to stage a competitive practice before another hard-running team in Minnesota (3-0, 0-0) this week. Its still a concern as he lks to avoid his first 0-2 Big Ten start.In my 22 years of doing this, Ive never been a part of a team thats lost all three of our starting linebackers, Franklin said. Ive been around teams that have lost this guy for a game or lost this guy for two games or lost this guy maybe for a season, but to lose all of them for a significant amount of time at the same time, Ive never been a part of that.The injury bugs bitten deeper, t.Backup linebacker Jan Johnson was felled with an unspecified season-ender on Saturday and Franklin said the team is dealing with other ailments not noticeable from watching Saturdays game. Star Nyeem Wartman-White is also out for the rest of the year and Franklin gave no strong indication fellow starters Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda could return sn.Its all forced Franklin to consider scaling back practices much earlier than mid-October, when hes usually done so.He planned to meet with defensive crdinator Brent Pry in order to determine the best practice tempos to protect healthy bodies, whether or not to move more players to reserve linebacker roles or considering using Bell and Cabinda in minimal capacities if they can.Thats the decision you have to make. Is it holding them out of practice completely and going full speed with everybody else? Franklin said. Or is it modifying practice to allow them to get some quality work in practice as well when youre pretty confident that that guy is going to be able to play on Saturday?Franklin is hoping to improve his defenses versatility by moving linebackers around this week.Sophomores Jake Cper and Manny Bowen are expected to drill at all three linebacker spots after starting on the outside the last two weeks. Middle man Brandon Smith will likely make his second career start after the former walk-on was ejected from the Michigan game for targeting on the first play of the second quarter. That ejection was detrimental to a group that hadnt played much together.Koa Farmer, who was recruited as a safety before he switched to linebacker and back to safety again, has worked with the linebackers this season. He played his most snaps on defense against Michigan as did true freshman Cam Brown who is also expected to see a bigger role.I havent been on a team thats been through so many injuries, Farmer said. But at this point its just the next man up mentality and getting young guys in the game, getting those guys experience for everyone so they can be ready.Penn State will have to be prepared for Minnesotas hard-charging run game or risk big problems. The Gophers are averaging just over 228 rushing yards per game with tailbacks Rodney Smith and Kobe McCrary. Due to injuries and inexperience up front, Penn State is allowing just over 213 rushing yards per game and continued struggles could potentially spell disaster for a team lking to turn around a disappointing start.These next two weeks are huge for our program and huge for where this weekend will take us, tight end Mike Gesicki said. I think that we all understand that and we all kind of see the big picture.tballjerseys.us.org/" target="_blank">Wholesale Ftball Jerseys Online . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved t much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. tballjerseys.us.org/" target="_blank">Ftball Jerseys China .

But as ever its the QBs that have taken the headlines.The quarterback-needy Los Angeles Rams kicked things off by trading all the way up from number 15 to take the Titans pick which they used to land Jared Goff.Just last week, the Philadelphia Eagles followed suit, moving up to number two from eighth, with the Cleveland Browns making way. Previous No1 QB picks Lking back at previous QBs to go first in the Draft The Eagles had just handed a huge-money deal out to incumbent starting quarterback Sam Bradford. Now, he has demanded an immediate trade from Philly, leaving one thing in no doubt - the Eagles needed a quarterback and they drafted Carson Wentz.Two men initially touted as back-end top ten selections, perhaps even falling into the top 20 tk the first and second spotsIn an NFL era starved of genuine franchise quarterbacks, huge salaries have been dished-out to unproven and underperforming quarterbacks, such as Brock Osweiler and the aforementioned Bradford.It is just the sixth time in the Super Bowl era that quarterbacks have gone one and two respectively. Just last year, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota were taken with the opening selections. Sky Sports Digital Mock Draft Casting our verdict from 1-31 Sky Sports takes a closer lk at the two players now firmly in the spotlight.Carson Wentz Carson Wentz #11 of the North Dakota State Bison fights to recover a fumble with linebacker Jevohn Miller #55 of Iowa State A vast number of popular NFL draft scouts and analysts appear to believe that Carson Wentz is the best quarterback in this draft class.Renowned NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock recently placed him at the very top of his draft board as the best prospect available, while former NFL coach-turned-analyst Jon Gruden revealed his belief what Wentz is the most NFL-ready quarterback to enter the draft in recent years.One thing for sure is that Wentz has the prototypical size NFL scouts lk for in a professional quarterback. He is 66 tall, over 230lbs and the arm-size that gives him all the tls to be a top pro-level player. His frame and athleticism is without a doubt a major strength.It is not a stretch to say that many people a little over a year ago, or even until the draft started to come into focus, did not know who Wentz was.The 23-year old played college ftball at North Dakota State, a schl playing in the FCS - in simpler terms, essentially the second tier of college ftball.This has been the biggest concern as the draft has grown closer, with question marks around the level competition he faced in college, and his big game experience, so to speak.However, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, a first round pick out of FCS schl Delaware in 2008, has gone on to win a Super Bowl. Spences road to redemption Noach Spence talks exclusively to Sky Sports Digital Wentz had his first year as the starting quarterback in 2014, leading North Dakota State to the FCS Championship game, where they defeated Illinois State to win their fourth consecutive title.It was a breakout year for Wentz, who excelled and caught the eye as he threw for over 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns, as he started in all 16 games. He also proved an efficiency and calmness in pressurised situations.Last season was a little more difficult for him. After an excellent start to the year, Wentz broke his wrist during the week six clash with South Dakota, going on to miss the next eight games.Wentz would return as North Dakota State again reached the FCS Championship game, leading the team to another title with a win over Jacksonville State, also earning his second-conseecutive outstanding player award.ddddddddddddo, while there may be doubts over the level of competition, what cannot be questioned is Wentzs success in the FCS, where he set the schls single-season records for total yards, completions and touchdowns..In total, Wentz started 27 times for NDSU, throwing for 5,115 yards and 45 touchdowns.There is no doubt he possesses all the physical tls to excel as an NFL quarterback, but the transition to the pro-leagues and the huge step-up in competition is still a big question.Wentzs NFL comparison: Blake Bortles (Jacksonville Jaguars) NFL Draft: Offensive options View from Americas take on those who could take the eye Jared Goff Californias Jared Goff had long been considered the strongest quarterback available in this draft class, until Wentz proved himself a viable contender for that accolade.The 21-year old left California having set the schls records for touchdown passes, passing yards and completions - incidentally, the only Cal quarterback with a more efficient passing career is a certain Aaron Rodgers.And it was not just schl records that Goff was setting. In 2015, while leading the team to its first eight-win campaign in six years, Goff was outstanding in setting PAC-12 Conference records for for passing yards and touchdowns in the process. Sky Sports Richard Graves chats to potential first draft pick Jared Goff about the NFL draft and his secret love for Arsenal Standing at 64, Goff also has the desired size for an NFL quarterback, but at 215lbs and smaller hands than Wentz, some questions have been raised surrounding his grip and security of the ball, although it could be argued this was something that was never a concern for him in college.Goff is a player who is calm in the pocket, and despite his smaller hand size, has proven he has a strong arm more than capable of making deep, downfield throws when they are needed.One area where Goff has the beating over Wentz is in his experience and overall productivity. Shaq Lawson exclusive The Clemson prospect talks to Sky Sports Digital While Wentz essentially had only one-and-a-half years as a starter, Goff was the main man during all three of his years at Cal, playing in a highly-competitive conference against the likes of Oregon, Stanford and USC.His numbers put up in college almost double that of Wentz - he threw for 12,195 yards and 96 touchdowns, throwing for over 3,000 yards in every one of his seasons under center.Goffs NFL comparison: Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) Richard Graves mock draft SSN HQs man in Chicago casts his verdictAlso See:Sky Live: NFL DraftBeginners guide to the draftDraft Day memorable momentsRichard Graves mock draft ' ' '
