The NFL trade deadline never quite stirs up the interest seen at that time of year in other professional sports.I never even know when the trade deadline is. Youre never going to see those blockbuster trades like you would see in the NBA or baseball. Thats just not the nature of football, Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams said.Whys that?In the NFL, its almost like a coach gets his guy, and thats who he wants to grow and mature. ... `I drafted this guy; I know what I drafted him for. Guys get brought in based on pure style, as opposed to pure talent, in some cases, Williams said. That has a lot to do with why there are fewer trades in this sport.Even if moves are few and far between, every NFL team -- some more than others -- could use help ahead of Tuesdays deadline for making deals. So AP reporters took on the role of general manager to offer thoughts on what each clubs most pressing need is.Heres a look at the AFC:AFC EAST :NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: DL -- The Patriots are getting especially thin on the defensive line, with backup tackles Woodrow Hamilton (shoulder) and Vincent Valentine (back) both sitting out recently. That forced the Patriots to elevate Anthony Johnson from the practice squad in order to have an extra body to rotate with Malcolm Brown and Alan Branch.BUFFALO BILLS: WR -- The Bills are desperate for receiving help, which was reflected in their recent decision to promote undrafted rookie Ed Eagan off the practice squad. Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and Greg Salas have all dealt with injuries (and two are on IR).MIAMI DOLPHINS: DB -- The secondary has been in flux all season. Miamis best DB, S Reshad Jones, is out for the season with a shoulder injury, and rookie starting CB Xavien Howard is recovering from a knee injury.NEW YORK JETS: QB -- The Jets were the only team with four QBs on their active roster until Geno Smith went on IR with a torn knee ligament. And yet their QB situation has been unsettled as can be: They benched turnover-prone Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of Smith. Now theyre forced to turn back to Fitzpatrick, because neither Bryce Petty nor Christian Hackenberg is ready to start.---AFC SOUTH :HOUSTON TEXANS: OL -- They need help along the line thanks to injuries. The Texans thought they found a starter in Nick Martin when they drafted him in the second round, but his year ended with a preseason ankle injury. Then veteran RG Derek Newton went on IR after hurting both knees.TENNESEE TITANS: WR -- Some speed on the outside could help QB Marcus Mariota, especially when you consider the Titans receiving corps consists of a rookie who was a fifth-round draft pick from Massachusetts (Tajae Sharpe), a guy on his third team in three seasons (Andre Johnson) and a pair of nondescript veterans (Harry Douglas -- a healthy scratch lately -- and Rishard Matthews).INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: A bit of everything, other than QB -- Indy has allowed a league-high 25 sacks, two of its top three WRs and No. 1 tight end are out with injuries, the pass rush is lacking, and the linebackers and secondary keep missing tackles.JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: OL -- The Jaguars have been downright awful up front, with the offensive line failing to do much of anything to create holes for the run game. The team is on pace to set a franchise record for fewest rushing yards in a season and has to play the rest of the year without starting left guard Luke Joeckel (knee).---AFC NORTH :PITTSBURGH STEELERS: WR -- Sure, the Steelers have Antonio Brown, but otherwise receiver is a real position of need. Martavis Bryant is suspended; Sammie Coates and Markus Wheaton have injury issues.BALTIMORE RAVENS: DB -- Every team could use a cover guy, but few more so than the Ravens, who dont have a decent DB to go with S Eric Weddle. Jimmy Smith is a solid CB, but hes been slowed by a concussion. The other starting CB, Shareece Wright, has already missed two games with injuries, while FS Lardarius Webb is still learning the position after moving from CB.CINCINNATI BENGALS: S -- The Bengals had to choose between their two starting safeties in free agency, and they kept George Iloka and let Reggie Nelson leave. Theyve missed Nelsons physical play. A defense that allowed the second-fewest points in the league last season has been middle-of-the-pack.CLEVELAND BROWNS: QB -- Still in search of an elusive franchise QB, the Browns could be enticed to make a deal, even if their plan seems to be to try to find an elite QB in next years draft (will there be one?). Robert Griffin IIIs injury complicated matters; this season was supposed to be devoted to his comeback.---AFC WEST :OAKLAND RAIDERS: Pass rusher -- The Raiders have struggled to get consistent pressure on opposing QBs, a big reason why the defense has allowed so many big plays. With offenses using extra protection to slow down Khalil Mack, Oakland could use a more consistent outside rusher on the other side to complement Bruce Irvin.DENVER BRONCOS: OL -- If theres a weak link on the reigning Super Bowl champions, its the offensive line, where tackles Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson are committing too many costly penalties, and guards Max Garcia and Michael Schofield take turns making their share of mistakes.KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: OLB -- The Chiefs have just eight sacks, tied with Pittsburgh for fewest in the NFL. They should be buoyed by the eventual return of Justin Houston from ACL surgery, but just how effective will he be? And when? The Chiefs need someone to provide a consistent pass rush, because OLB Tamba Hali is aging before their eyes and former first-round pick Dee Ford has been a disappointment.SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: RB -- Melvin Gordon is having a dynamite second NFL season, but the Chargers could use some RB depth with Danny Woodhead and Branden Oliver out for the season with injuries.---Contributing: Bob Baum, Josh Dubow, David Ginsburg, Will Graves, Kyle Hightower, Joe Kay, Mark Long, Michael Marot, Kristie Rieken, David Skretta, Arnie Stapleton, Teresa M. Walker, Dennis Waszak Jr., John Wawrow, Steven Wine, Bernie Wilson.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLSteve Bartkowski Youth Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Tony Gonzalez Falcons Jersey . R.J. Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. http://www.thefaclonsshoponline.com/Kaleb-mcgary-falcons-jersey/ . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Julio Jones Youth Jersey . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Kaleb McGary Falcons Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.RICHMOND, Va. -- JeQuan Lewis scored 20 points and Virginia Commonwealth snapped Middle Tennessee States eight-game winning streak 80-77 on Saturday night.Mo Allie-Cox had 15 points for the Rams (8-3) and Samir Doughty added 14 off the bench. VCU shot 65 percent (15 of 23) in the second half to offset going 11 of 18 from the line, which gave the Blue Raiders a chance until Giddy Potts last-second 3-pointer was off the mark.Potts led Middle Tennessee (10-2) with 25 points, going 7 of 11 from the field, 5 of 7 behind thhe arc.dddddddddddd JaCorey Williams had 17 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for his third straight double-double, and Reggie Upshaw had 15 points.The Blue Raiders also struggled from the line in the second half, going 6 of 13 while they were 15 of 28 from the field, 4 of 6 from distance.There were 12 lead changes and five ties, the last one at 61 on a layup by Williams with 6:33 to go.
