New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career Authentic Rashaan Gaulden Jersey , where his streak of 210 consecutive games started when head coach Ben McAdoo benched him in favor of Geno Smith.Manning completed just 61.6 percent of his passes for 3,468 yards (his fewest since 2008), and had 19 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. McAdoo was fired and replaced by Pat Shurmur, while long-time general manager Jerry Reese was also shown the door. New York went from 11 wins and a postseason berth in 2016 to the second overall pick a year later.Manning has been given the vote of confidence from his new coaching staff, and the two-time Super Bowl Champion feels like there is plenty left to give in what's been a fairly successful career."Obviously it has been an unbelievable run, but I want to continue doing it,鈥?Manning told NFL Network (h/t NJ.com). "It鈥檚 not over. I know that. . . . I鈥檓 excited for this upcoming year and really prove that I can still play at a high level. We can win games. We can win championships."The 2018 NFL draft featured a handful of prized quarterback prospects, including Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold. Many expected the Giants to draft Manning's successor, but they opted for Penn State running back Authentic Cassius Marsh Jersey , Saquon Barkley. There is reason for optimism in the Meadowlands this upcoming season. With Barkley in the backfield, Manning will be armed with a game-changing running back who can ease some of the workload off the passing game.On top of that, Manning's receiving core will hopefully stay healthy this season. Star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. only played in four games before fracturing his ankle and missing the rest of 2017. No. 2 wideout Sterling Shepard only played in 11 games, while perennial Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall played five games before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.Marshall was released, but Shepard, Beckham and Barkley give Manning arguably the best set of playmakers he's ever had. And though the defense was a mess in 2017, let's not forget they gave up the second fewest points per game in 2016.Manning is 37 years of age, but he's stayed healthy throughout his entire career. With a new head coach and new playmakers around him, nobody should doubt his ability to bring a third Super Bowl back to New York. — When NFL officials visited Bears camp to show a film on rule changes aimed at player safety, inside linebacker Danny Trevathan realized he’d have to alter his style.

“Shoot,” Trevathan said. “I was on the film.”

One of last season’s most physical and controversial plays landed Trevathan a one-game suspension Cheap Sam Hubbard Jersey , and joined several other incidents of brutality in causing the NFL to curtail the use of helmets in tackling.

Trevathan’s helmet-leading hit knocked Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams out of a Sept. 28 game and resulted in a two-game suspension — later reduced to one on appeal.

Possibly more than any other Bears player, Trevathan must now keep his physical, aggressive style in check.

“I’ve got to be able to move on from it and learn the new techniques,” Trevathan said. “The game is constantly changing. That’s what we get paid to do, I guess. I’ve got to take that in my play.”

Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio believes it’s a matter of accepting change for all defensive players, and eventually they’ll adjust as with other rules.

“One of the most non-football rules ever put into football was the 5-yard illegal contact rule,” Fangio said. “If coaches from the 60s rose from the dead today they would want to go back in their grave with that rule.

“And we’ve adjusted.”

Bears coach Matt Nagy is seeing signs of Trevathan controlling his play.

“There’s a leadership element, which goes without saying,” Nagy said. “There’s a physicality that he brings.”

The Bears had what Nagy called their most physical practice of camp Sunday, complete with a full-contact red-zone period. And Nagy noticed Trevathan pulling back at one point when he could have easily smashed rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller.

“There was a play today where he could have knocked (Miller) into the stands and he decided not to, and that was in a live period Authentic Blake Wheeler Jersey ,” Nagy said. “So to me, when you see that, I’m going to point that out to the team tonight because that wasn’t stupidity. That was a veteran being smart, not taking out one of our guys.

“He knows it’s live, he knows he doesn’t have to prove anything, so just play smart.”

Trevathan also views playing under control as a benefit to his own health. This is important because Trevathan has missed 10 games the last two seasons due to injuries, and the defense suffered then without its field general.

The effect on the Bears’ defense without him is obvious.

In 2016, the Bears allowed 152 yards rushing a game without Trevathan starting seven games, and 98.4 yards in nine games when he started. Last year they allowed an average of 97.5 yards rushing in 11 games with Trevathan and 140 yards a game in five without him.

“It’s imperative that I be on that field,” Trevathan said. “I’m not going to let my team down anymore. That comes with a responsibility: just taking care of yourself.

“You know plays happen; you get injured. It’s only going to make the defense better when I’m out there because I’m going to push and I’m going to work my tail off and I’m not going to let anybody beat me.”

Like the rest of the Bears, Trevathan watched former Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend. Trevathan gained insight from Urlacher’s speech Bo Scarbrough Color Rush Jersey , particularly in regards to overcoming adversity and being a good teammate.

“That’s one of the main reasons why I came here — the tradition at linebacker,” said Trevathan, who left Denver as a free agent after 2015. “It’s not an easy job, but like he (Urlacher) said, it’s like the tough stuff makes you grow.

“I’m here for a reason, and I like playing linebacker for the Chicago Bears.”

NOTES: Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel missed Sunday’s practice after suffering a foot injury in Saturday’s session. Nagy called it “day to day” and not serious.
