Top Ten Defensive Performances of 2017: #9 Chris McCain v. DEN #9.) Week 7 Chris McCain vs. Denver - 4 tackles Color Rush Philip Rivers Jersey , 2 sacks, 2 Forced FumblesChris McCain was a complete unknown going into the 2017 season. Fans knew he was a tall, lanky pass rusher who had spent some time with a few teams prior to joining the Bolts, but that was about it. After making the 53-man roster, he settled into a rotational role behind OLB/DE Melvin Ingram at the LEO position where it didn’t take long for him to start showing why he was worthy of his spot on the team.There is no question that McCain’s breakout game of the year came against the Denver Broncos in their second contest against the Bolts. This game also happened to be a historic shutout for the Chargers rising defense.Doing more than his fair share Youth Austin Ekeler Jersey , McCain posted an impressive and efficient stat line that included four tackles, two of them being sacks with both of those causing the Broncos’ Trevor Siemian to cough up the ball. Overall, #40 made the most of his snaps that day and was constantly a handful for Denver’s tackles, including 2017 first-round pick Garret Bolles.On his first sack, McCain showed the world just how important it is for pass rushers to master “running the hoop” in practice. Lining up at the left defensive end position Youth Darius Philon Jersey , he starts in a wide 9 outside ofthe tight end and takes a loooooong loop around the right tackle. As he begins to win around the edge, Siemian starts to his left but can’t outrun the lengthy EDGE player. The ball is popped free and it’s Chargers ball.Below you an find the replay for his second sack and forced fumble of the evening.After the Chargers rescinded their second-round tender on McCain earlier this year, heeventually signed with the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. The loss of McCain leaves a wide open spot and will definitely create some needed competition for the other pass rushers in hopes of being able to play third fiddle to Bosa and Ingram in 2018. Maybe the $100 million man really doesn’t run the show in Oakland.As the Raiders prepare to face Chargers safety Derwin James, Raiders coach Jon Gruden claims that he wanted to draft James in April.“We wanted to take Derwin James,” Gruden told reporters on Wednesday. “Everybody wanted Derwin James.”So why didn’t the Raiders take Derwin James? Gruden blamed the inability to take James on the fact that the Raiders had used a first-round pick in 2016 on safety Karl Joseph Youth Virgil Green Jersey , and that the Raiders used a second-round pick in 2017 on safety Obi Melifonwu. (In other words, “It was like that when I got here.”)聽But consider Gruden’s assessment of James, and ask yourself whether the presence of Joseph and Melifonwu should have really mattered.“He’s an intimidating player, he is a physical presence,” Gruden said of James. “I think he’s got range to play deep Philip Rivers Jersey , he’s got coverage ability. He can run through you, he can run around you, he can run right over you. He is a dynamite young player and he’ll be one of the building blocks in L.A. for a long time for the Chargers.”He’ll be one of the building blocks unless he doesn’t sign a second contract with the Chargers. Although the NFL typically imposes punishment for tampering not just when the gun is smoking but when a bullet is seen exiting the muzzle, Gruden’s comments make it clear that the Raiders would be interested in getting James away from the Chargers at some point, if he can.
