Jets star Brandon Marshall wins civil assault suit

Mark Lennihan/AP Brandon Marshall left the courthouse once the case went to the jury and did not return, so he was not in the room when the verdict was read. Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall won the civil suit levied against him by a California woman in Manhattan federal court for assault and battery on Friday. Christin Myles, who accused Marshall of punching her in the face outside the Marquee nightclub on Mar. 11, 2012, sought at least $75,000 in damages for her medical expenses and her pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before

D’Brickashaw Ferguson thanks fans in retirement letter

Kathy Willens/AP D’Brickashaw Ferguson says that a desire ‘to pursue other goals in life’ led him to retire. D’Brickashaw Ferguson formally announced his retirement Saturday morning in a letter posted on the team’s official website. The three-time Pro Bowl left tackle never missed a snap due to injury in his 10-year career. He’ll be honored in the team’s Ring of Honor one day. His thank you letter to fans, teammates, etc. is below: My Fans, As I considered the words I would say to you, I recognize a simple truth: It just isn’t easy saying goodbye.

Myers: Ferguson leaving money, saving health in retirement

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images While he spoke candidly about concussions in December, D’Brickashaw Ferguson was never diagnosed with one in his 10-year career. D’Brickashaw Ferguson is 32 years old and played 10 years in the NFL and the only snap he missed in his career came on a trick play. So, he is not part of the epidemic of young players in the last two years who are getting out of the NFL early rather than risk brain injury, even though it’s before they max out on their earnings potential. Ferguson made $67 million with the Jets and never was

Jets trade for Broncos' Ryan Clady to replace D’Brickashaw

Kathy Willens/AP Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Clady blocks for Knowshon Moreno. That was fast. On the same day D’Brickashaw Ferguson made his retirement official, the Jets traded for his replacement, dealing for former Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, according to a source. Gang Green is giving up a 2016 fifth-round pick in exchange for the tackle and will also receive a 2016 seventh-rounder, according to a source. Those are the same terms the Jets struck with the Bears a year ago in a deal for wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, started 16 games in 2014 for

Advocate blasts Greg Hardy’s clueless, harmful stance

Ric Tapia/AP Greg Hardy denies ever assaulting women in an interview he did with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Domestic violence experts responded with dismay Tuesday to disgraced football star Greg Hardy’s claim in an ESPN interview that violence against women is “nonexistent in most southern homes.” “Domestic violence does not discriminate, it impacts every race, geographic region, educational background,” Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, tells the Daily News. “It knows no boundaries. It’s a reg resilient issue that people don’t talk about.” Hardy, who was suspended four games last season over evidence that he battered

Are England 'too tired to press'? Six key charts

On 

[ad_1]

After more than 36 hours of intense debate and analysis of what went wrong for England in their disappointing draw with Denmark on Thursday night, there is one Gareth Southgate comment that needs further fact-checking.

In interviews with the written UK media only released on Friday evening, the England manager suggested his players are not fit enough to press the opposition properly.

“We are not pressing well enough, with enough ­intensity,” Southgate said. “We have limitations in how we can do that with the physical condition. We can’t press as high up the pitch as we might have done in the ­qualifiers, for example.”

Are England too tired to press properly? Did they play too much club football last season? Here are six charts and tables examining the case…

Has the England squad played too much club football?

Starting XI club mins played. . 2023-24 season data in all club competitions.

A full 38-game Premier League season comes to 3,420 minutes – using a basic figure of 90-minute games.

And this chart above shows that, for England’s starting line-up against both Serbia and Denmark, their average club playing time last season was almost exactly that figure.

And as the chart below shows, 15 of the 26-man England squad played more than that 3,420 figure, with deep runs into domestic cups and European competitions in the lead-up to the Euros.

In a list of the 40 players with most club minutes played – across Europe’s big five leagues, six England players feature – Ezri Konsa (6th); Ollie Watkins (10th); Declan Rice (14th); Phil Foden (15th); Kyle Walker (24th) and Conor Gallagher (34th).

Spain and France have three; while Germany have five and Portugal have five – but also have Ruben Neves (4,558 mins) and Cristiano Ronaldo (4,475 mins) who play in the Saudi Pro League.

England's 5 key players compare. . 2023-24 mins played across all club competitions.

So what about England’s pressing stats?

Introducing a relatively new measurement which shows how aggressive or disruptive a team is against the opposition’s possession.

Data analysts Opta call it ‘PPDA’ and stands for ‘opposition passes allowed per defensive action’ – the higher the number, the less you’ve been able to interrupt their spells of play.

Still with us?

Here’s an easy bit of context to explain.

In the Premier League last season, the best pressing team was Tottenham who had an average PPDA score of 8.8. Worst was Nottingham Forest with an average PPDA score of 17.7.

Spurs were praised throughout the season for the intensity of their pressing game.

So what about England?

Lower PPDA score = better at pressing

Source: Opta

Which teams are best at pressing?. . Lower PPDA score = better at pressing.

England captain Kane admitted after the game that the team were “not sure how to get the pressure on and who’s supposed to be [pressing]”.

Speaking on an extended England analysis section on BBC iPlayer, Match of the Day pundits Cesc Fabregas and Alan Shearer had their say.

“I think Harry doesn’t have the legs anymore to press high,” said Fabregas. “You can see the other ones – Bellingham, Saka, Rice – press really high, but one person not doing it can kill the function of the whole game.”

Shearer added: “I don’t think there is a plan. There’s a complete lack of energy, I don’t know if anyone knows whether to come or to sit.

“They look confused to me as players as to when and how to go, and when they want to press the opposition.

“That, for me, comes from the manager. In the first two games and certainly the last game, it was far too easy for the opposition.”
