Rumors are still swirling and fans can hardly wait to see who the #1 overall pick is going to be. But in the meantime, another big piece of NFL news is set to be released in the form of the 2019-20 schedule. We already know who the opponents are going to be, but fans that enjoy taking some time away from work to go see a road game will now finally get to start putting their plans together. So which games should you most be looking forward to? Let’s take a quick look. Home against the Cleveland Browns - there was a leak that came out late last week stating that the Browns would be visiting the Arizona Cardinals on Thanksgiving night, which would be a really fun nationally televised game. Seeing Kyler Murray or Josh Rosen at quarterback take on Baker Mayfield would be a great storyline. Then you also have former Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks, who is now the defensive coordinator for Cleveland. Away against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - this could be one of those matchups that interests absolutely no one outside of the Cardinals fan base. The only reason to tune in for this would be to see the Cards take on their former head coach, Bruce Arians. The whole ending to the Arians saga in the desert still feels really clouded and some have speculated that perhaps the two sides did not part on as good of terms as originally thought. Regardless, it will be fun to see if the Cardinals can beat Arians on his new home field. Home against the Los Angeles Rams - when your team loses by a combined 56 points in the previous season between two games against your division rival, you want vengeance. Add in the fact that the Rams were just in the Super Bowl and State Farm Stadium should be rocking when Sean McVay 2019 Deionte Thompson Jersey , Todd Gurley, Aaron Donald and Jared Goff come to town. The holdover players from the 2018 Cardinals team should put on a good show for the fans in this one. Those are the three games I am most looking forward to. What about you? Let us know in the comments below.

When I was a department head, I often had to speak with a colleague after a department meeting when I noticed them peeking at their phones. Anxiety in any classroom or meeting situation is a common condition. People feel trapped. Walled in. On high alert.I can’t even begin to tell you the number of times when my class and I arrived at the sheer moment of epiphany when a student eagerly raised their hand, to have me eagerly call on them, only to hear, “Can I go to the lav?”The student often didn’t have to go to the bathroom---the student HAD to go use their cellphone.So, then I issued a policy where the students had to leave their cellphones on my desk when they received the lav pass from me. Yup. You probably guessed it. Kids were clever enough to bring a second cellphone to class or to borrow a classmate’s. So, then I implemented a new strategy which was to have the students put their cellphones in their backpacks and leave the backpacks at the back of the room. Ironically, this caused the kids so much stress that many more of them really needed to go to the lav.As a teacher, you get so tired of giving kids lav passes left and right---and with the ongoing traffic in and out of the room.So, in trying to understand the students’ anxiety and angst about feeling trapped Hakeem Butler Jersey , I tried a new policy. I left a lav pass at the back of the room with a sign out sheet and said the students could use it whenever they wanted, as long as they did not bring their cellphones with them.It was amazing, really.Just knowing that there was an immediate escape route was enough to make the majority of students less anxious. And because the majority of the students were engaged in the class and were driving the bulk of the curriculum themselves, most of them didn’t want to leave the room. The traffic in and out of the class waned to the point of only 2 or 3 students going to the lav per class.I rewarded the students by giving them the opportunity to listed to music on their cellphones whenever they were working on a writing project. This was a boon. The students looked forward to writing in ways they hadn’t before.What Kliff Kingsbury completely understands is not only the urge for today’s young adults and older adults alike to check in on their cellphones, but to take a small break every 20-30 minutes.For me in the classroom and in planning football practices, 20 minutes was about the most I would ever plan for one activity. Kingsbury is right on about the number of minutes. After the first 20 minutes, teachers and coaches need to shift the students into another part of the lesson or practice plan. And so on and so on until the end of the class or practice. That is the way to maximize focus and attention spans---and therefore, the best way to maximize learning.When I worked for John Madden on the original Madden video game, he once told me that when he was the head coach of the Raiders, he always put the hardest plays in during the first 20 minutes of practice---because he knew the players’ concentration level would be at its highest. Madden said it worked out great too because http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/kyler-murray-jersey-cheap , by taking on the toughest challenges first, everything after that during the practice seemed easier by comparison.Kliff Kingsbury is doing the smart thing by trying to eliminate distractions and social media temptations. In a way this is like a teacher putting a lav pass with a log out sheet at the back of their room. The players won’t feel nearly as trapped and they will feel comforted to know that the breaks are built in and something they can rely on. And let’s be perfectly clear---Kingsbury is talking about meetings. He’s not talking about practices. The players will be expected to be locked in for the duration of practice. No one is bringing a cellphone out to the field.In my opinion, what I love about Kingsbury thus far is it seems very clear that the coach wants his players to enjoy work and to have fun playing the game. I think that was lost among the Cardinals’ players he last few years.In this way, Kingsbury reminds me of a young John Madden. Madden was only 32 when Al Davis promoted him to head coach. Madden felt that the experience he had working under Don Coryell at San Diego St. prepared him very well to be the head coach of the Raiders. Madden was highly innovative---and his players loved playing for him because he rode them hard, gave them a strategic competitive advantage, and always kept the fun in the game.By the way, Madden’s favorite play was the weak-side counter-trey off-tackle play---which just so happens to be one of the signature plays in Kliff Kingsbury’s playbook. Who knows, maybe one day Kingsbury will have his own video game.If he does, I can’t wait to get the cellphone app!
