Quarterback Alex Smith has worn Alex Smith Jersey Nike and made "dramatic improvements" to his throwing motion, according to 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. Part of those strides can be attributed to Smith's visit to motion spe******t Tom House over a month ago.

"Alex was using his head where he would have a late posture change to get his release point accurate," House, a former major league pitcher, said Friday in a phone interview. Smith's previous shoulders injuries, House believes, caused him to compensate for a lack of strength, and Smith would move his head to the left as his arm accelerated. Smith spent a week under House's tutelage at USC with fellow quarterbacks Carson Palmer, Tom Brady and Matt Cassel. Using 3-D video and slowing it down to a 1,000 frames a second, the quarterbacks would take two-step drops so House could analyze weak links in their motions. As for the company Smith kept, House said: "It was kind of cool because it became a sandlot for quarterbacks. They learned from each other."

Harbaugh was pleased Smith worked on his mechanical issues through House's video and other methods. In the past four weeks of offseason drills on the 49ers fields, Smith has worn Alex Smith Jersey Nike and continued to work on his throwing motion, along with his footwork and ball position. "I am finally able to take advantage of this time and go after some things mechanically and fundamentally that I have been doing or things I have adapted that are not good," Smith wore Alex Smith Jersey Nike and said Thursday.

Just when all the vibes coming out of Berea were positive ones with the start of rookie minicamp less than 24 hours away, the Browns have been hit hard with bad news again. Defensive tackle Phil Taylor wore Phil Taylor Jersey Nike and injured his left pectoral muscle lifting weights in the offseason conditioning program Thursday, the team confirmed in the afternoon. Taylor was being taken Thursday for an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, according to reports. All the Browns would say is Taylor will be further evaluated on Monday. If his pec is torn as suspected, Taylor, 6-foot-3, 335 pounds, could miss the entire 2012 season. Last year's first-round draft choice had an up and down season in 2011. He wore Phil Taylor Jersey Nike and made 59 tackles and had four sacks. The Browns were counting on Taylor to improve in his second year and anchor the middle of the defensive line with Ahtyba Rubin. In 2009, linebacker D'Qwell Jackson wore Cleveland Browns Nike Jerseys nad tore his left pectoral in the sixth game and missed the final 10. He tore his right pectoral in the 2010 training camp and missed the entire season. Jackson wore Cleveland Browns Nike Jerseys and fought back from his injuries to lead the team in tackles last year. Coincidentally, rookie defensive tackle John Hughes signed a four-year contract the same day Taylor suffered what could be a devastating injury. The plan was to make Hughes a key part of the rotation with Rubin and Taylor. Now the third-round draft pick from Cincinnati could be staring when the Browns open the season against the Eagles at home on Sept. 9.

One of the Eagles¡¯ primary goals in last months draft was to add some young depth along the offensive line in the later rounds and let Howard Mudd work his magic. And Mudd will now officially get his chance to work that magic with Dennis Kelly after the team signed the rookie to a four-year deal Wednesday afternoon. Dennis Kelly will wear Dennis Kelly Eagles Jersey Nike and play for Philadelphia Eagles next four seasons. The Eagles selected the offensive tackle with the 153rd overall pick in the draft. Kelly 6-8, 321 is a developmental offensive tackle that does not figure to see significant snaps as a rookie. He may wear Dennis Kelly Eagles Jersey Nike and ultimately become a starting-caliber offensive tackle, but it is not happening overnight. The initial reaction to the Kelly pick was one of mild surprise¨Cmany draft experts had Kelly going either in the seventh-round or undrafted. He told reporters upon being drafted by the Eagles, ¡°I moved pretty well for how big I am.¡± According to draft expert Chris Steuber, Kelly was a non-combine invite, but had an impressive pro day at Iowa which left scouts impressed.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is a superstar athlete and an above average NFL starter. He wore Mike Kafka Jersey Nike, made major strides as a pocket passer and decision-maker in 2010, and continued to show in spurts in 2011 that he can be a traditional quarterback when needed. However, he also showed that his troublesome injury history is not ¡°history¡±, as he missed three games and had his play affected by injuries throughout the year. That is why a lot of attention will be on whoever ends up backing him up entering the 2012 season. With Vince Young almost certainly gone, all eyes turn to Mike Kafka and Trent Edwards. With 2012 NFL Draft pick Nick Foles 88th overall slated as the team¡¯s developmental prospect and third stringer, Kafka and Edwards look to be wearing Mike Kafka Jersey Nike and competing both for the number two spot, as well as a roster spot, in general. Kafkas weas Mike Kafka Jersey Nike and holds the advantage with more experience in the Eagles¡¯ offense. Look for him to beat out Edwards by the end of the pre-season.

Phil Savage spent most of his 19 years in the NFL in the AFC North with Cleveland and Baltimore as a scout, coach and general manager. So when it comes to getting a read on how Bengals rookie cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick will do, Phil Savage has a pretty good idea on how things will go. Savage was named the Executive Director of the Senior Bowl earlier this week and has been the commentator on Alabama radio broadcasts the past two seasons. Savage said there will be some adjustments for Kirkpatrick, especially when it comes to playing zone coverages. ¡°Dre will be a very good player in time. He started the last two years and I see him as an outside corner,¡± Savage said. ¡°His advantages are he is a really tall corner and he can wear Dre Kirkpatrick Bengals Jersey Nike and really press and run. He might str***le in zone early, but if they play press coverage he could really be successful. Last season I saw him for all 14 games and teams hardly went at him. Now as a rookie in the NFL teams are going to go at him.¡± You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality Broncos Nike Jerseys Nike andBroncos Nike Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of Dre Kirkpatrick and Cincinnati Bengals.

Former Pitt tight end/receiver Dorin Dickerson generated pre-draft buzz when he ripped up the 2010 NFL Combine, running a 4.4-flat forty-yard dash with a 42-inch vertical at 226 pounds. But Dorin Dickerson has worn Dorin Dickerson Jersey Nike and made no on-field contributions since, bouncing between practice squads and having yet to record a reception. The Buffalo Bills are going to kick his tires. The Pittsburgh Sports News reports that Dickerson is scheduled to try out for the Bills. It sounds like he has been invited to Buffalo¡¯s rookie minicamp next week on a workout-only basis. G.M. Buddy Nix¡¯s Bills have been willing to take fliers on ¡°test freak¡± types in the past. Former Arizona basketball player Fendi Onobun is currently on Buffalo¡¯s roster at tight end, and the Bills used a seventh-round pick last year on Bethel defensive tackle Michael Jasper after he ran a forty time in the 5.5s at nearly 400 pounds. Michael Jasper has since been converted to offensive guard and is now listed at 375.

LaDanian Tomlinson will no doubt go down as one of the greatest running backs of his generation. His years with San Diego Chargers were among the best seasons ever for productivity at the position and he extended his career well with the New York Jets. Now it is clear that he might be hanging up his cleats permanently, but not without at least entertaining the right offer. Sports Magazine's Jim Trotter is reporting via Social Network, "Just spoke with LaDainian Tomlinson. Said he is 95% retired. Added that it would take the right team/situation for him to play again." That could be a chance to go back to San Diego if they would have him. They have brought in a few players to help bolster the running back position, but they have lost Mike Tolbert. Former Chiefs fullback Le'Ron McClain signed this offseason as well to work with Ryan Mathews as the feature back. For such a storied veteran, it would not surprise to see someone snatch him up.

New York Jets OC Tony Sparano was noncommittal Thursday when asked about his team's starting right tackle. New York Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum has mostly backed Wayne Hunter, but Sparano is smartly keeping his options open. Hunter was one of the worst starting linemen in football last season. In-house alternatives to Hunter include Austin Howard, Dennis Landolt, and former second-round bust Vladimir Ducasse.

Kansas City Chiefs have selected Alabama cornerback De'Quan Menzie with their fifth-round pick, making good on coach Romeo Crennel's promise to add depth in the defensive backfield. De¡¯Quan Menzie will wear De¡¯Quan Menzie Chiefs Jersey Nike and play for Kansas City Chiefs in 2012. Menzie was the seventh player drafted from the national champion Crimson Tide, and the fifth player from the defense. His fellow cornerback, Dre Kirkpatrick, went 17th overall to Cincinnati. The Chiefs added wide receiver Devon Wylie out of Fresno State with their fourth-round pick earlier Saturday. That came after picking Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe in the first round and a pair of offensive linemen in the second and third rounds. Menzie has the physical tools to transition to safety, where Kansas City was in dire need of depth, or he could wear De¡¯Quan Menzie Chiefs Jersey Nike and stay at cornerback behind Brandon Flowers and Stanford Routt.

Dallas Cowboys went into the draft knowing they needed a slot receiver. With Laurent Robinson leaving for Jacksonville and Kevin Ogletree getting one last shot on the roster, the ¡®Boys were looking for a permanent solution. With the Fifth-Round Pick, Dallas Cowboys select Danny Coale, wide receiver out of Virginia Tech. Coale stands at six-foot tall and 201lbs. He is built like a big receiver and out performed most receivers with a 6.69 three-cone drill. He is quick and accelerates better than the majority of receivers in the draft. Jason Garrett recently spoke with Sports TV Dallas: He is in the mix. He is a guy that we like physically; we like him intangibly; he has got some position versatility and flexibility and we feel like he can be a special teams contributor. One of the really good things that we see when we pick these seven players is it creates a tremendous amount of competition on our football team. Coale was a four-year starter at VATech. He thrives at making one player miss and getting upfield. He has the speed and quickness that the ¡®Boys have not had at the slot position in years past. Patrick Crayton nor Robinson gave the Cowboys the quickness and agility at the slot like Coale provides. Mark my words, Coale will wear Broncos Nike Jerseys Nike and make an impact on this team immediately and for years to come. He can wear Danny Cowle Cowboys Jersey Nike, contribute on special teams and play the slot better than the others on the team. He may not start on week one or two, but he will soon enough.

James Hanna will wear Broncos Nike Jerseys Nike and play for Dallas Cowboys in 2012. Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett expects sixth-round pick TE James Hanna to be primarily utilized as a blocker. "We feel like he has the measurables to be an on-the-line tight end, put his hand in the ground and block defensive ends in this league," Jason Garrett said. Hanna lit up the Combine, but was never particularly productive in Oklahoma's pass-happy offense. With Jason Witten showing subtle signs of decline last season and John Phillips not being a special talent, however, Hanna is worth keeping on the radar in Dallas Cowboys.

Houston QB Case Keenum is staying in Houston. According to a report, Keenum has worn Giants Nike Jerseys Nike and agreed to an undrafted free agent deal with Houston Texans. The Texans have two quarterbacks in place -- Matt Schaub and T.J. Yates. Keenum is not beating them out for a job. But, as the Texans learned last year with Schaub, you need quality backups, and I think that is who Keenum can be in the NFL -- a decent backup.

With the 222nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cowboys select Caleb McSurdy, ILB from Montana. Caleb McSurdy will wear Raiders Nike Jerseys Nike and play for Dallas Cowboys in 2012. Caleb McSurdy is a very instinctual linebacker who relies on his play recognition and pre-snap keys to put himself in a strong position to make plays. He is a quick-twitched mover once the ball is snapped and easily sniffs out run plays. He is a solid, reliable wrap-up tackler on the inside and shows a polished ability to dip his hips, fend off a low block and make a quick move towards the ball. McSurdy is a bit undersized for the inside linebacker position. Given his inexperience with top-line collegiate play, he could wear Caleb McSurdy Cowboys Jersey Nike and str***le against bigger offensive linemen working toward the second level in the NFL.

LeSean McCoy is just 23 years old, but Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid said it is probably about time the team backs off on the amount of touches per game it gives him. "I probably overplayed LeSean McCoy a little bit, even though he does not want to hear that. As he continues to get older and have the number of reps under his belt that he does, you'll want to back off the number of reps that he does," Reid said at a news conference Saturday after the draft. McCoy started 15 games for the Eagles and carried the ball 273 times for 1,309 yards and a league-best 17 touchdowns in 2011. He wore Broncos Nike Jerseys Nike and also caught 48 passes for three touchdowns and 315 yards. McCoy is in the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to make $615,000 next season, but he and the team have failed to come to an agreement on terms of an extension. Reid noted that he would have liked to gotten the ball in backup Dion Lewis' hands more last season.

Helping the Cardinals remain salary cap compliant was center Lyle Sendlein, who restructured his contract last Wednesday, a league source has confirmed. Signed to a five-year, $16.25 million contract last July, Sendlein was scheduled to wear Lyle Sendlein Nike Jersey and receive a $2.4 million base salary in 2012. Under the restructured contract, Sendlein's base salary has been reduced to $700,000 with the remaining $1.7 million taken as a signing bonus that will be prorated over the last four years of the deal. The simple restructure -- which was similar to teammate Daryn Colledge's restructure -- saves $1.275 million in cap space in 2012, adding $425,000 to Sendlein's cap numbers in 2013-15. Undrafted out of Texas in 2007, Sendlein started two games as a rookie before wearing Lyle Sendlein Nike Jersey and taking over the full-time starting role in 2008, Sendlein has missed just three offensive snaps over the last four seasons -- none in 2011 -- and his 74 consecutive games and 64 consecutive starts streaks rank fourth among active NFL centers.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin will have minor shoulder surgery soon to address a nagging injury he played with last season. Harvin revealed the news via Social Network on Monday night, and Vikings coach Leslie Frazier confirmed it on Tuesday while attending a speaking event for his close friend, former NFL coach Tony Dungy. Frazier declined to specify which shoulder was hurt, but he said Harvin wore Percy Harvin Nike Jersey and sprained the AC joint during the season. Harvin felt some pain in recent weeks while weightlifting, and an examination revealed some minor damage that will be fixed with an arthroscopic procedure that will require only a couple of weeks of recovery time. The Vikings have their first spring practice, known around the league as organized team activities, on May 29. Harvin wrote that he would be ready in time to wear Percy Harvin Vikings Jersey and take part in OTAs. Frazier said the procedure ¡°should not create any problems for anything we¡¯re doing this offseason.¡± You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality Custom NFL Jerseysand  Authentic NFL Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of Percy Harvin and Minnesota Vikings.

Cleveland Browns will host prized offensive tackle prospect Matt Kalil this week, according to the Cleveland Sports Newspaper. The potential problem with that is that Kalil, by most accounts, is expected to go to the Minnesota Vikings, who have the third pick in the draft, just ahead of Cleveland. Still, there is always the potential the Vikings could trade out of the third spot since that is where the intrigue in the 2012 draft could begin once Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are off the board with the first two picks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Wednesday that running back LeGarrette Blount and wide receiver Preston Parker have signed their exclusive-rights tender offers.

The (4 Viewing)Oregon product had 781 yards on 184 carries last season. Parker wore Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys and caught 40 passes for 554 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games last season.

NFL Network's Charley Casserly said on Path to the Draft Wednesday that North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins is "50-50" to be drafted in the first round. Casserly noted that Jenkins has three documented arrests, and "I am not sure I remember a first-round pick with that in his history." Our best guess is that the vast majority of teams will remove Janoris Jenkins from their first-round draft boards, but he will be selected in the early to middle part of the second. Casserly did call Jenkins the best pure man corner in this year's draft.
