— Von Miller said he’s unaffected by the new NFL rule prohibiting defenders from landing on top of quarterbacks Broncos Game Jerseys , requiring them instead to shift his weight to the side to avoid a flag.

“None of the rule changes affect my game. I don’t really tackle quarterbacks with all my weight anyway. With all 185 pounds? No, I wouldn’t treat a quarterback like that,” said Miller, who’s actually 250.

“I like going for the ball. If you’ve seen me play over the years, I’m not really (going to) lower the head or try to injure a quarterback,” Miller said. “The most I’ll do is fake handshake.”

That move cost Miller a personal foul at key moment last year and led to a loss at Buffalo.

Miller said he has no issue with the league’s new helmet rule that’s causing so much consternation at training camps this summer as teams wonder what all will constitute a foul.

Broncos coach Vance Joseph said the new rules designed to protect players will affect the offense more than the defense because defenders have been taught for years to see what they’re hitting whereas, say, running backs naturally duck their heads and linemen bang helmets all the time.

Defenders, though, will get flagged for crushing quarterbacks if they don’t break their fall by turning to the side to avoid landing on top of the passer.

An example of the hit that’s now prohibited is the one Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr put on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 6 last year that broke Rodgers’ collarbone.

The rule now requires defenders to “strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.”

Line judge Julian Mapp was among the officials who visited the Broncos this weekend to discuss the rule changes. Asked how difficult it would be to determine whether a pass rusher has put more than half his body weight on a quarterback Colts Game Jerseys , Mapp said, “I’m a line judge but talking to some of our referees, what we’re looking at is that — I’m not a University of Florida fan or anything — but we’re looking for what we call a ‘Gator Roll.’ We want you to take your weight off of the quarterback.

“Also, to guys, when they tackle their quarterback and you see their hands in the air like this,” he said, spreading his arms out like an airplane, “that does not take them off. A lot of the time they think, ‘Well my hands weren’t on them.’ But it’s the body weight. So, basically they’re looking for some type of roll Nick Chubb Jersey , some type of (move where) you’re trying to keep all of your body weight off of the quarterback.”

Miller said the changes won’t affect him at all.

“I’ve been good when it comes to all of those rules,” Miller said. “I respect the game. I know we need to keep our quarterbacks healthy. Those guys make football what it is, so we’ve got to take care of those guys.

“They’ve put in rules to take care of all the players, as well. So, I’m good with all the rule changes.”
The Philadelphia Eagles are rewarding head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Howie Roseman with contract extensions through the 2022 season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.Eagles announced matching contract extensions through 2022 for GM Howie Roseman and HC Doug Pederson.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 5, 2018Roseman and Pederson constructed a dominant Eagles team that won their first Super Bowl in franchise history last season, defeating the New England Patriots 41-33. And with the team built to compete for several more championships in the immediate future, Pederson and Roseman were more than deserving of their extensions.Pederson's NFL coaching career began in 2009, when the Eagles hired him as their offensive quality control coach. Pederson was moved to quarterbacks coach in 2011 Clay Matthews Jersey Youth , a role he would keep for two years.The Eagles then fired Andy Reid, who became the new head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. Reid brought Pederson in to serve as his offensive coordinator. But after Philly fired Chip Kelly, Pederson was brought back to Philadelphia as their new head coach for the 2016 season.As for Roseman, he became the Eagles' general manager for the 2010 season, and kept the job until 2014. However, the Eagles stripped him of the gig and moved Roseman to Executive VP of Football Operations, though he was later moved back to the general manager聽job. Roseman has had incredible success in drafting, trading and free agency since taking over in the front office. He made a bold decision to trade up and land quarterback Carson Wentz with the second overall pick in 2016. Besides that, Roseman brought back quarterback Nick Foles, who wound up leading the team to a Super Bowl 52 championship.The Eagles have a dynamic core led by Wentz Ben Gamel Seattle Mariners Jersey , Foles, Alshon Jeffery, Jay Ajayi, Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham. After decades of misery, this team came through to win its very first Super Bowl. Thus, the long-term extensions for both Roseman and Peterson were well-deserved..
