Helter Skelter » Now that they’ve finally settled on

a home for 2019 Darwin Thompson Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , the Raiders might play a preseason game in Canada"Since 2007, the NFL has been scheduling regular season games outside of the United States.Most of them have been in London, but more recently, some have been in Mexico City, too — including last year’s scheduled game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams in Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, which was moved to Los Angeles at the last minute when it developed that the stadium’s field wouldn’t be ready for the game.In 2019, five international NFL games will be played: four in London, and one in Mexico City. One of them will feature the Chiefs: as we told you in January, the Chiefs will play the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City.Like last season’s game against the Rams, the Chiefs will be designated as the away team for that game, so they won’t have to give up a home game in order to play out of the country — as they did when they played the Detroit Lions in London during the 2015 season.But as league meetings continue in Phoenix this week Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , the Oakland Raiders are said to be considering playing a preseason game in Canada — at least according to a report from NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.While a game in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan might conceivably draw some Raiders fans because of its proximity to the West Coast of the United States, this is still a bit of a head-scratcher. The Raiders — after a long, tortuous (and entirely unnecessary) process — have finally found a home for their 2019 games.So why schedule a preseason game out of the country — even if it’s at least on the same continent?Maybe the Raiders were inspired by last week’s announcement of a Rams preseason game in Hawaii against the Dallas Cowboys.Tickets for the Rams-Cowboys game in Hawaii sold out in an hour over the weekend, and are now priced above $3500 on the secondary market.With no offense intended to our Canadian friends, it’s just hard to imagine that kind of a market in Saskatchewan.But we can always be surprised. It sounds like Frank Clark and Patrick Mahomes understand what they have in each other." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteArrowhead PrideArrowhead Pride | Kansas City Chiefs Schedule, News, Roster and StatsLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpSeriesLatest NewsFanpostsFanshotsCommunityAboutStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteSeries Stagner ThingsLottery Tickets ’19Summer of SpagsDixon’s MailbagLatest News Fanposts Most recentMost activeFanshots Community Community GuidelinesContactAbout StubHub ✕Embracing competition: Frank Clark and Patrick Mahomes want to make each other greatNew,21commentsIt sounds like Frank Clark and Patrick Mahomes understand what they have in each other.CDTShareTweetShareShareEmbracing competition: Frank Clark and Patrick Mahomes want to make each other greatKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) scrambles against Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (55) during the third quarter at CenturyLink Field.Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsOrganized team activities (OTAs) are what they are—padless practices that serve as an appetizer for the entree that is Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri.There are observations and notes that can be made, but as head coach Andy Reid himself reminded the media on Thursday, “This isn’t training camp.”So what can you take away Darwin Thompson Jersey nfl draft , exactly?Among other things, I find it is a good time to evaluate where the coaches may like individual players — whether or not they appear to be in football shape — but above all, team temperament.Chiefs wrap up OTAsThe Chiefs’ temperament resonated with me during my visit to the facility Thursday—as the status of one of the game’s top wide receivers hangs in the balance, you’d never know it from watching and listening.And the two players that especially stood out in that regard were quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive lineman Frank Clark.“Other than being extremely athletic and a heck of a pass rusher, he’s extremely smart, and it’s good to see that,” Mahomes said of Clark. “We’re on the field — he’s taken away some of my hot throws. He’s taken away some of my adjustments because he’s just playing football. Those guys are the ones that are really special. [Thursday], I was about to throw a hot to (Anthony) Sherman and he just peeled off on it and made me throw the ball away and whenever you have guys that are that talented that are also smart like that, those are guys that are really special players.”“We have to go at it in practice,” Clark said of Mahomes. “I have to go at his O-linemen so he can get on them and he has to go at our defense so I can get on them. I feel like once we get that type of mentality in our locker room, the competition-based feel Replica Darwin Thompson Jersey , I feel like that’s when we’re going to grow and become the best that we can be.”Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsAnd we already know the Chiefs executives believe Clark is special. That is why they shipped first and second-round draft picks away for him, then signed him to a five-year deal worth $104 million.Chiefs GM Brett Veach told the media after trading for and signing Clark that this was the Chiefs’ “plan” all along.Whether Clark will eventually walk the walk remains to be seen. But his impact on the team has already been detectable, and to his credit, he can talk the talk.“It’s going to be make me great,” Clark added about competing with Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. “You got an MVP. Then you got this explosive offense. You got some great O-linemen, you got (Mitch) Schwartz over there...all these guys are going to do nothing but make us better as a defense. As a defense, when you’re what, 30th? 31st in the league? One of the worst defense in the league—that’s a slap on the chin. As a player who thinks of defense, I take full pride in having an aggressive defense.”The Chiefs defense finished 31st in yards per game, while Clark’s Seahawks finished 15 ranks ahead at 16th. He led Seattle’s unit with 13.0 sacks, as well as 13 quarterback hits and 38 quarterback hurries.

Those are the standards we have to continue to climb and continue to reach for. I feel like when you set your goals high, you obtain them.”Now a member of the Chiefs, Clark will never come close to hitting Mahomes—that is why they make the yellow jerseys. But he can pressure him.And that will only help the reigning league MVP.“They are getting after it for sure,” Mahomes said of the defense. “They are doing a lot of different things and it is hard to get a read on them. It is definitely challenging as an offense and especially at the QB position to see what coverages they are in. They are doing a lot of great things and they are adding in as much as we are adding, so it’s that back-and-forth battle every single practice. It feels like we’ll get some good plays here and they get some good plays there. When you have that competition, that’s when you know you have a good team.”Another newcomer in linebacker Darron Lee said that Mahomes is “everything that has been advertised.”“They already have something great brewing here,” Lee said. “It’s one thing to see it on TV, but it’s something different to see it in practice.”It is difficult to argue that the Chiefs defensive players will see a better quarterback this season. There is also little doubt the defense has improved.Both sides know it—and what’s better—they have embraced it.
