In the new world of Josh Freeman, here at the cusp of a new start, the first thing you notice is his new look.

He is leaner, hungrier Those rounded cheeks of his are gone His body is sleeker, harder, perhaps 15-20 pounds worth Even his hair is shorter, giving him a more serious appearance If you did not know Freeman was a quarterback, perhaps you would mistake him for a tight end.

For Freeman, and for his franchise, it is all fresh, as if someone has hit the reset button on his career His head coach is new, and his offensive coordinator, and his quarterback coach He has a new star receiver and a new guard and, for the most part, a new center He has a new playbook, a new vocabulary and, perhaps, a team with a new direction.

Maybe, just maybe, Freeman's promise is new again, too.

He is still the hope around One Buc Place LeGarrette Blount Women's Jersey Even after last season's nightmares, even after his interceptions soared, even when doubts about his future returned, Freeman is still the Bucs' quickest path to victory.

That said, this is a huge year in Freeman's career If he really is going to be a big deal in this league, if he really is going to blossom, this is the time for it After all, he is entering his fourth season Now we will begin to see who Freeman is and what he will become.

This time last year, the skeptics had been silenced Freeman was so good in 2010, throwing 25 touchdowns and only six picks, that it was easy to argue that he was among the top 10 quarterbacks in the league Warren Sapp Men's Jersey Everyone raved about his ability to lead a team from behind No one questioned his future.

After last year, the perceptions have changed Freeman's touchdowns slipped to 16 His interceptions rose to 22 His quarterback rating fell by more than 21 points True, the Bucs were behind a lot, and it's hard for a team to succeed when it's behind by two touchdowns or more Still, Freeman's decision-making was not as sharp as it needs to be.

"Just trying to force too much,'' Freeman says.

"Trying to make too many things happen.''

Perhaps, but doesn't that seem too simple for such a colossal dip in performance? Could Mike Williams' own struggles have hurt Freeman? LeGarrette Blount's? Could it be that Freeman's injuries (a bad thumb cut in a target shooting accident and a shoulder that caused him to miss a start) were worse than reported?

"I'm not going to talk about injuries to the media,'' he said "That's part of the deal You don't talk about injuries.''

Regardless, righting Freeman's career seems to be the first hurdle for new Bucs coach Greg Schiano and his staff They need Freeman to be as accurate, as calm, as dangerous as he was in 2010. LeGarrette Blount Replica Jersey To put it another way, turning around this franchise begins with turning around Freeman.

Give the Bucs credit for this: They seem intent on surrounding Freeman with as much talent as possible He has a new receiver in Vincent Jackson (which should make the receiving corps better) He has a new guard in Carl Nicks (which should make the line better) He has a new coaching staff with a new blueprint.

"What I see is the guy is incredibly hungry, incredibly focused to do what we ask him to do,'' Schiano said "It's going to take some time, but this guy wants to be good, and that's a lot of it He wants to be great

"It's a lot to learn He made a throw (Wednesday) that was fun to watch He was a big-time quarterback who put the ball in there If we can protect him and run the ball effectively, he can make those throws He will. Mike Alstott Authentic Jersey ''

A year like this past one can harden a quarterback It can scar him, drive him, change him When a season spirals out of control, a career can follow along behind.

The best news about Freeman is that, for all the changes, he sounds the same

"It's never fun, never easy when you lose,'' Freeman said "It was a rough year personally, a rough year for the team When you drop 10 games straight, that's rough But it is what it is.

"We still have a talented, young team The goal is still to go out and compete for champion-ships.''

Championships? After 10 straight losses, you still think this team can be a contender?

"You don't?" Freeman said "If I didn't, I wouldn't be out here. Gerald McCoy Red Jersey ''

Ah, April, and the optimism is new, too.

Still, after the way last season ended, isn't it good to hear it from somewhere? And when you get down to it, why can't Freeman be successful again? He throws it well enough He wants it badly enough He is just 24, and he has new voices and new teammates.

Soon, we will find out what Freeman will do with them.

After that, we will discover the new definition to his career.

Below are some whispers we've been hearing from about the NFL:

If you agree 49ers QB Alex Smith is actually living on "Easy Street" after finally signing a three-year deal that is certainly worth nearly $33 million, you better reconsider As it turns out daily team observers are finding which the Niners employ a fairly easy-to-reach out clause in Smith's contract following 2012 campaign, and this an essential portion of the agreement only are going to be paid if Smith is within the roster after April 1, 2013

Greatly overshadowed because of the Niners' signing of RB Brandon Jacobs would be the recent addition of ex-Raiders RB Rock Cartwright, who figures to present all the, if not more, to your backfield as being the lumbering (6-4 264 pounds) ex-Giant "He was made possible as a more athletic Blake Costanzo (a complimentary agent who signed together with the Bears)," one daily team observer said of Cartwright Adrian Peterson Pink Jersey "But besides replacing Costanzo on special teams, he gives extra value to be a potential playmaking fullback"

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said for the annual NFL meeting that 2011 third-round RB Alex Green is well prior to schedule within his recovery on the torn ACL that cut his rookie campaign short in Week Seven McCarthy also stated that 2011 first-round OT Derek Sherrod, who also suffered a season-ending injury (broken right leg), is conscientiously rehabbing each and every day for the Packers' facilities

We hear that three other teams form Cowboys ?a the Packers and Eagles on the NFC plus the Steelers on the AFC ?a were also from the running to look at within the 2012 NFL season resistant to the defending Super Bowl-champion Giants

We hear the Eagles and RB LeSean McCoy keep talk contract extension The reasoning is to purchase some insurance for him this holiday season, possibly with another running back coming throughout the draft, and find him signed extended Reebok Percy Harvin Jersey Brett Favre Red Jersey There may be optimism from both parties, sources signify, that it's going to happen sometime prior to a beginning of the season

Fortunately with the Redskins is the fact ORT Jammal Brown, who's got been taking yoga classes that can help his injured hip, expects so as to fully get involved in OTAs The group also feels really good with regards to the progress of WR Leonard Hankerson (hip), who's going to be eyeing a June get back to this line of business, and TE Chris Cooley, who's going to be coming back again at a knee injury

We hear the Falcons employ a firm belief which the hiring of Pat Hill, who's going to be extremely popular NFL after 15 seasons as being the head coach at Fresno State, is certainly a strong addition to their coaching staff Their confidence in Hill, who replaced Paul Boudreau as offensive-line coach, has played part in Atlanta's decision-making process on the subject of O-line personnel The team still could address the location from the draft, even so the Falcons have yet to invest major resources into upgrading the offensive line in free agency, and likely will never do it

As you move the Panthers and TE Jeremy Shockey's representative will continue in-tuned and remain accessible to having Shockey re-sign with Carolina, we hear the c's can be quite happy with the product range of tight ends it offers under contract With two pass-catching tight ends ?a Greg Olsen and Gary Barnidge ?a and also a blocking specialist ?a Ben Hartsock ?a from the fold, the Panthers manage to view Shockey to be a luxury they will afford to go without if he does not want to experiment with at their price Brett Favre Men's Jersey

We heard following your 2011 season which the Patriots would draft but not only one, but likely two receivers in April However, together with the additions of veterans Brandon Lloyd, Anthony Gonzalez and Dont¡§| Stallworth in free agency ?a plus the restructuring of Chad Ochocinco's contract, which at the least gets him to camp ?a wide receiver isn't going to loom to be a the goal anymore, especially as compared to edge rusher and secondary It is always believed, though, which the Patriots will draft a receiver The team's reputation of drafting receivers nowadays can be quite shaky, and Bill Belichick might not exactly aim for a rookie take up a roster spot However, adding a rookie receiver certainly would complement and what will be an intriguing competition for being considered one of Tom Brady's targets in 2012

General manager Reggie McKenzie added two more some the puzzle into the 2012 Raiders on Friday, reaching a proposal with unrestricted free agent linebacker Philip Wheeler after earlier during the day acquiring running back Mike Goodson within the Carolina Panthers in substitution for offensive lineman Bruce Campbell Darrius Heyward-Bey Authentic Jersey

The Raiders announced Wheeler's signing via Twitter on Friday night Wheeler, who visited the Raiders facility Thursday, shall be penciled in when the starting strong side linebacker after the reduction in Kamerion Wimbley in free agency

Wheeler had 84 tackles, 47 unassisted when the starting string sideline backer for Indianapolis last season Darren McFadden White Jersey

Goodson, 24, helps meet the increasing demand of two running backs who left in free agency, serving as a complementary running back again of Michael Bush as an extraordinary teams performer to pay to your reduction in veteran Rock Cartwright Darrius Heyward-Bey Team 50th Jersey

Goodson, buried over the depth chart behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, was also hobbled by hamstring pull last season Darrius Heyward-Bey Black Jersey Darren McFadden 2010 Real Tree Collection Jersey 2010, Goodson rushed for 452 yards from a reserve role as well as being an ordinary on all special teams

"Being behind DeAngelo and Stewart for some years has long been difficult just seeking to play and being competitor,'' Goodson said Jacoby Ford Replica Jersey Darren McFadden Black Jersey "I wasn't hoping to leave, but anywhere that gave the option I'm definitely up for any''

Goodson is looking toward help validate Darren McFadden alongside second-year man Taiwan Jones and feels his style is well-suited into the Raiders' zone blocking scheme as imported by offensive coordinator Greg Knapp within the Houston Texans

The Raiders selected Campbell during the fourth round within the 2010 draft Darren McFadden Men's Jersey

Should the Bucs hired Raheem Morris as coach, they hoped he had get to be the next Mike Tomlin In replacing him with Greg Schiano, they will choose to the other Jim Harbaugh

Harbaugh, the 49ers coach who made the transition from college where he led The san diego area and Stanford, took a once-proud franchise who had suffered eight straight losing seasons to within one game ?a heck, one play ?a within the Super Bowl

Going from worst to first is well documented during the NFC South Schiano won't have to help make wine from water Mike Alstott Replica Jersey The Bucs went 10-6 2010 But he's concious of the raised urgency to win LeGarrette Blount Men's Jersey Warren Sapp Authentic Jersey

"I ?- know it's just a win-now league Mending, Manged to get that memo," Schiano said "I think it trickled due to college in the process You felt the need a head coach get fired in education after eighteen months Reebok Ronde Barber Jersey That's extraordinary But we figure out what coaches get paid, too That's changed, too With everything, when the stakes rise, Manged to get that part, too

"There's an extremely fine line in such a league between winning and losing Inspire in education, too, nevertheless it's much finer here I feel the talent level will be much closer, too And now we added some talent We'll exercise more during the draft, endeavor to coach them the perfect we're able to We spoke of implementing a few new systems, and obviously, we can't be as far along when the teams which we play Endeavor to win all the games, more useful, endeavor to and also be in the best we're able to

"I think when preparing worrying about, 'Got to win this Have to win that It's a must-win,' I cannot start that because every step of the way, all you can control the place your team does; whatever i do as the coach Monday through Saturday to arrange for Sunday Your existing adage, wars are won before they're fought Warren Sapp Yellow Jersey "

Schiano was in demand along at the NFC coaches breakfast this morning in Palm Beach The most popular topic was steps he has got transported to avoid becoming another statistic among coaches who would not produce the transition from college to pro

"I think significantly is reached about college coaches that haven't done well," Schiano said LeGarrette Blount Premier Jersey "But if you ever see it, you will discover numerous of coaches (overall) who haven't done well It's just a pretty high turnover rate in such a business Toss the college coaches in there in the process I am aware of the explanations people say its different Mitchell&Ness Warren Sapp Jersey Warren Sapp Orange Jersey I feel it is important I'm glad about is usually that I have been a head coach for 11 years before I took in this particular challenge"

Schiano also took measures shed the training curve by hiring veteran assistants, including Butch Davis (defensive assistant), Jimmy Raye (offensive assistant), Mike Sullivan (offensive coordinator) and Bill Sheridan (defensive coordinator) Warren Sapp Men's Jersey Most difficult part for Schiano to this point?

"I think deciding almost all these rules," he stated "This is Phase 1 You could lift, and you can now meet, nevertheless you can't take this area We were treated to numerous rules in education, too, hence they are equally different But I've got to sift through it"

BATTLE OVER RICHARDSON? Dealing with Schiano, it's clear he had welcome include a running back which include Alabama's Trent Richardson Anytime a coach openly pines for that player ahead of draft, cynics suspect a smokescreen However, when you're sharing the absolutely no 5 pick, there isn't much intrigue

But ever more, it seems similar to the Browns, at No Ronde Barber Replica Jersey 4, normally takes Richardson prior to when the Bucs contain a shot Reebok LeGarrette Blount Jersey Mike Alstott Premier Jersey Cleveland GM Tom Heckert and coach Pat Shurmur attended his workout at Alabama Gerald McCoy Premier Jersey Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill can be performed if ever the Browns commit to quit Colt McCoy Ronde Barber Yellow Jersey The Browns also need to consider Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon

Richardson will visit and decide to your Browns and Bucs Ever more, it seems that Tampa Bay will pick among Richardson, Blackmon, LSU CB Morris Claiborne and, if he gets beyond daylight hours Vikings at No 3, USC tackle Matt Kalil LeGarrette Blount Women's Jersey

He previously adult idolizing Ricky Williams Torrey Smith Authentic Jersey Being a secondary school running back from Florida, Allen watched Williams' every move throughout his time with all the Miami Dolphins One of the better parts about Allen's rookie season, one inch which his opportunities were essentially restricted to practice, was only being around Williams on a regular basis

Allen will probably miss that, although Williams' surprise retirement the 2009 offseason may lead to precisely what the running back may be seeking: a way to occupy an integral role with all the Ravens as Ray Rice's primary backup

"It was obviously a bittersweet moment Joe Flacco White Jersey You don't ever be interested in some guy like Ricky go He was the best running back coming, but him leaving sort of does start a way for me," Allen said yesterday evening after playing Torrey Smith's charity basketball game at Stafford Secondary school in Virginia "Whatever occurs in free agency as well as the draft, no matter because I'll head out there and stay Anthony Allen and play Ravens' football"

Most Ravens' fans know almost no about Allen, a seventh-round draft pick a year ago who started his collegiate career at Louisville and ended it at Georgia Tech The 23-year-old was inactive for your Ravens' final 13 games, and struggled to get a good section of the campaign using a hamstring injury Inside the five games which he did play, Allen was mostly applied to special teams, getting just three total carries for eight yards inside the Ravens' blowout with the St Ray Lewis Authentic Jersey Louis Ramsin Week 3

Although he struggled to have about the field, Allen declared the lessons which he did understand as a professional and being prepared and as an NFL running back were extremely valuable, and hang up him up well because of this coming season

"I use a year under my belt I am aware the device I am aware protections, I am aware the lines, I am aware the passes It is just reliant on me venturing out there and playing," he was quoted saying "It's a blessing in order to exist, to stay Baltimore, using the inventors that individuals enjoy, obtaining the coaches I have been previously making an effort this offseason I'm able to go back together with the inventors and attempt and acquire a [championship] next season"

On the owners meetings on Tuesday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh acknowledged how the team may very well put in a veteran running back at some time this offseason They've got only three about the active roster: Rice, who could wait if he isn't getting a long-term extension before training camp, Allen and Damien Berry, a second-year player who spent most of last season about the practice squad Torrey Smith Men's Jersey Ray Lewis Camouflage Jersey

"Anthony Allen goes from third [running back to] potentially No 1 if tips over," Harbaugh said "Every backup player is surely an injury away, a play far from being the guy Joe Flacco Authentic Jersey We feel plenty of him, we feel plenty of Damien Berry Ray Lewis Men's Jersey Ray Lewis Black Jersey We feel they've got great seasons, but we have got to consider some insurance, too Terrell Suggs Purple Jersey Reebok Torrey Smith Jersey We have got to get greater than two running backs on our roster, so we'll atart exercising guys Joe Flacco Replica Jersey "

The free agent running market may be extremely slow to produce On the list of players still on offer are Joseph Addai, Cedric Benson, Ryan Grant, LaDainian Tomlinson and Cadillac Williams The Ravens tight on than $2 million in salary cap space and so they badly must bolster their offensive line, but hardly any running backs find much money for sale in free agency, meaning they ought to be able to find a team-friendly deal to get a veteran at some time for training camp

However, owner Steve Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome and Harbaugh supply said this offseason that Allen are certain to get every possibility to contribute

"I currently have that motivation I used to be drafted inside the seventh round and i also still need that chip in my shoulder I barely played in an NFL game besides special teams, so it is definitely motivation personally," Allen said Joe Flacco Women's Jersey Ed Reed Replica Jersey "It's a blessing how the coaches count on me, the master trusts me It really demonstrates in the event you always make the work, your opportunity should come and you will get the opportunity to shine Ray Lewis Youth's Jersey It is exactly what I'm wanting to do Ed Reed Purple Jersey "

The Capitals' power play has scored only four goals on its past 44 opportunities, scattered moscow and rome 17 games. The numbers, however, also show the console were getting many chances in recent games. Believe it or not, the Caps have drawn three or longer power plays per game only three times historically 10 contests. Twice in that span, they did not experience an opportunity. Alexander Semin Jersey
"It notifies you that you're not receiving the puck enough on the offensive zone," veteran Mike Knuble said after Friday's 3-2 loss in Winnipeg. Dale Hunter Jersey "You're not doing something to form the chances. You'll want to force them into looking for bad penalty here and there. And then you make that happen by means of the puck within your stick and also make them grab you."While we have witnessed a league-wide downturn in power play opportunities at the moment, Knuble and Brooks Laich said they are the Caps' decline in opportunities will surely have something connected to the more often conservative style that Coach Dale Hunter employs. Mike Green Jersey
In 22 games under Bruce Boudreau at the moment, they averaged 3.9 power plays per game. With Hunter behind the bench, they're drawing 2.7. In every one, the Caps rank 27th in power plays drawn at the moment with 216.
"We haven't was built with a substantial amount of power plays," Laich said. "We don't within the high-octane offensive system where we're just running and gunning aiming to gain and [opponents] take penalties on hooks and holds. We play a lot more conservative and be able to when get our chances, it's good to benefit from those. That, straight away, probably eliminates two power plays per game." Jose Theodore Jersey Laich also said he is not overly interested in preserving the downturn in power play opportunities yet, around. Alex Ovechkin Jersey "We're not getting power plays, but we're also not putting a stop to chances against," he said. "It's a touch of cause and effect."

Zetterberg had the bogie in the bend and begin Ian White on the point. White anesthetized aback to Zetterberg who wheeled against the aperture and accursed a attempt that appeared to avert off a Rangers stick and get accomplished ambitionie Henrik Lundqvist, an old battling of Zetterberg's if both were arena inferior hockey in Sweden.

The Wings captivated the advance until a bad band change led to a too abounding men amends at 14:30, Niklas Kronwall and Justin Abdelkader colliding abreast the bank punctuating the ugbandss. Martin Straka Jersey? From tactuality, it didn't yield continued for the Rangers to tie the bold. Brian Leetch Jersey?
