That is because with as many players as the NFL has they all have to work together to make the team is successful. If someone on the end of the bench isn’t happy with the coaching staff that could travel throughout the entire team and eventually become a much bigger problem.One prime example is what is happening in Seattle right now. The Seahawks' locker room didn’t have the proper bench players and when their veterans got older they wouldn’t have accepted bench roles. That is the toughest thing for a former star to do when their talent starts to fade. Some gracefully accept the ageing process while others insist they can still be starters (though their coaches and fans may disagree).The move to the bench often times isn’t as bad as it would be in some other leagues because there are often heavy rotations at the running back and wide receiver positions. This means they can still come onto the field and make big plays throughout the season. We will look at which players on both sides of the ball have been stars for one reason or another. This will also examine their role and how effective they will be this season for their respective teams.
A look at what’s happening around the majors today:

FANTASTIC FREEMAN

Freddie Freeman didn’t get down on himself after his 16-game hitting streak ended on June 4. Instead Marquise Brown Jersey , the Atlanta slugger just picked right back up where left off – extending his latest streak to seven games with a pair of hits in a win over the New York Mets on Wednesday. The first baseman has now hit safely in 23 of his last 24 games entering a home series with the San Diego Padres, including homering in his last three games.

CY VERLANDER?

Justin Verlander matched his season high when he allowed three earned runs in his last start, a 7-3 win for the Houston Astros over Texas last week. The American League ERA leader (1.45) will try and return to his usual dominating self when he starts at Oakland. Verlander (8-2) has allowed only 51 hits in 93 1/3 innings this season http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/jaylon-ferguson-jersey-authentic , striking out 113 in his first full season in Houston.

THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

After pitching only relievers during a three-game sweep of Toronto, the Rays will go the more traditional route when stingy starter Blake Snell (8-3, 2.30 ERA) gets the ball at Yankee Stadium. Making a strong bid for his first All-Star selection Miles Boykin Jersey , the 25-year-old lefty is 3-0 with a 0.38 ERA over his last four starts. Snell made his big league debut in the Bronx in April 2016, allowing one run and two hits with six strikeouts in five innings. New York is 15-4 against left-handed starters this season.

LYNN’S TIME

Lance Lynn looked like anything but the same pitcher who won 71 games over the last five seasons in St. Louis during his first month with the Minnesota Twins this season. After posting an 8.37 ERA in April, however Deandre Baker Jersey , the right-hander has recovered nicely and is looking well worth the one-year, $12-million contract Minnesota gave to him before the season. Going into his start at Detroit, Lynn has allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last seven starts. The 31-year-old has a 1.50 ERA in two starts in June http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-oshane-ximines-jersey , and he’s lowered his overall ERA to 5.08 for the season.
