Sam Darnold and Josh Allen are spending their weekend watching greatness Phil Niekro Jersey , and for once it’s not other football players.
They’re at Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open.
Selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft – Darnold by the New York Jets, Allen by the Buffalo Bills – the two quarterbacks are headed to the pros but are far from done learning.
”We talk about it all the time in the quarterback room: Whenever we get a chance to watch greatness, whatever it is, we want to do it and learn from it,” Darnold said. ”Even last weekend with Justify winning the Triple Crown, you appreciate that as a quarterback and someone who’s striving to be great. .
”Then to see what guys like Dustin Johnson are able to do, it’s just so cool to watch.”
That’s who Darnold and Allen are rooting for, too. Johnson entered Saturday on top of the leaderboard, 4 over par, but was struggling in the third round.
Darnold and Allen checked out all 18 holes, spending a long time by the green of No. 8, just watching everyone putt. Each golfer’s ability to pinpoint a shot never ceased to amaze them. But it’s what comes before the swing that they really admire and respect: the preparation before the action.
”It’s like what me and Sam would do as quarterbacks, evaluating the defense before we snap the ball and trying to get understanding of what they’re doing Authentic Royce Freeman Jersey ,” Allen said. ”And that’s what they’re doing on the course. Before every shot, they’re trying to gauge the wind, trying to gauge the distance, and ultimately trying to have the right swing to put the ball where they want.”
That also includes zoning in on the task and blocking out distractions.
Darnold, who has played maybe a half-dozen times, actually ended up being the cause of such a distraction.
A fan recognized Darnold in the crowd and shouted, ”J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!” The outburst came in the middle of a player’s backswing. Darnold couldn’t recall whose swing, but it was his second shot on a par 3.
”He was just laser focused,” Darnold said. ”Still hit a really good shot, and it’s just really cool to watch these guys do what they do. Even with all the hecklers, everything that’s going on, they’re still able to just focus.”
That’s a standard Darnold and Allen can take back to the football field.
Darnold completed 63.1 percent of his passes and averaged 295.9 yards per game in his last season at Southern California. He was picked third overall.
Allen, who brought his dad – his frequent golfing partner – to Shinnecock Hills James Washington Jersey , hit 56.3 percent of his passes for 1,812 yards and averaged 164.7 yards per game at Wyoming last year. He went seventh overall.
”I love football, so there’s nothing that’s going to replace that,” Allen said. ”But golf, it’s a second.”
Arizona’s offense, so awful in May, is on a scoring binge in June – and Jon Jay joined the party Tuesday night.
Jay got his first three hits for Arizona, including a three-run homer, and the Diamondbacks won their fifth game in a row with a sloppy 13-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
”I can’t stress enough how good this group is and how they’ve welcomed me and made me feel super comfortable,” he said. ”I’m super excited and looking forward to the summer.”
Jay, acquired Thursday in a trade with Kansas City, was hitless in 12 at-bats for the Diamondbacks before his leadoff single in Arizona’s six-run first inning. His opposite-field homer in the eighth broke the game open after the Pirates had rallied from an 8-0 deficit to trail 10-8.
”That was a pretty decisive blow in the game,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.
Starling Marte hit a three-run homer Leighton Vander Esch Cowboys Jersey , doubled and made a diving grab in center field for the Pirates.
Fernando Salas (4-4) gave up a run in 1 1/3 innings and got the win.
Nine of the runs in the game were unearned.
The Diamondbacks have scored 51 runs in the last five games. They’ve won 11 of 14 and lead the NL West by three games over the surging Los Angeles Dodgers.
”It’s hard to believe,” Lovullo said. ”You go through a May the way we did, I don’t know how many runs we scored the entire month. It wasn’t a lot.”
The Pirates have lost six of eight and fell to 1-4 on a six-game trip that ends Wednesday afternoon with the series finale in the desert.
Arizona jumped on Trevor Williams (5-4) in the first with six runs, two on Ketel Marte’s seventh triple of the season. Five runs were unearned thanks to three Pirates errors, two on one play.
”We’ve got work to do,” manager Clint Hurdle said of his infield defense. ”We are not playing at the level we are capable of playing.”
The Diamondbacks added a pair of runs in the third, one on David Peralta’s RBI triple, to lead 8-0.
But the Pirates countered with an unearned barrage of their own in a six-run fourth.
A catcher’s interference call against John Ryan Murphy loaded the bases and Clay Buchholz hit Jordy Mercer with a pitch to bring in Pittsburgh’s first run. Buchholz walked pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez to bring in another. Josh Harrison followed with a sacrifice fly before Marte homered just over the right-field fence to cut what once was an eight-run Arizona lead to 8-6.
Because of Murphy’s error, the last four of the six runs were unearned.
Josh Bell’s RBI double, his third hit of the night, trimmed Arizona’s advantage to 10-8 in the seventh.
”A couple tough bounces their way and it got out of hand in that first inning,” said Williams, who allowed eight runs – only three earned – in three innings. ”It was good for us to fight back and it is awesome that the team showed that fight. I am disappointed in myself that it was out of reach in that first inning and let the team down that way.”
TOUGH START
The first inning was an ugly one for Pittsburgh.
With runners at first and second and no outs Sebastian Janikowski Jersey Seahawks , Bell fielded Jake Lamb’s grounder to first base and spiked a throw to second, with the ball bouncing into the outfield.
Marte’s two-out triple brought in two more runs, and Jarrod Dyson was intentionally walked to bring up Buchholz. Williams made a pickoff move to first, threw wildly and Marte scored. The speedy Dyson headed for third and second baseman Harrison threw the ball away, allowing the runner to score.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: Harrison was back in the lineup after being hit by a pitch in the shoulder Monday night. The Pirates had said after that game that Harrison would be day to day.
Diamondbacks: RHP Braden Shipley took a line drive to the ribs in the ninth but stayed in the game to get the final out. … LHP Robbie Ray (strained right oblique) is to make his first rehab start Thursday for Class A Visalia. … RHP Shelby Miller (Tommy John surgery) makes his fourth rehab start, for Class A Visalia, on Saturday.
UP NEXT
Arizona, going for its second consecutive three-game sweep, sends RHP Zack Greinke (5-4, 3.53 ERA) to the mound on Wednesday. The Pirates counter with RHP Jameson Taillon (3-5, 4.0 . Greinke is 16-1 with a 2.53 ERA in his last 25 starts at Chase Field.
