New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez appears via satellite on NFL Total Access tonight at 7:00 PM ET. The third-year quarterback who has led the Jets to the AFC Championship Game twice in his first two seasons in the NFL talks about his various offseason activities and preparing for the 2011 season.
NFL Network’s Albert Breer continues to report from New York City with the latest news on the NFL labor negotiations, providing daily recaps.
On Monday, Houston Texans All-Pro running back Arian Foster appeared live in-studio. Last season’s NFL rushing leader discussed his breakout season in 2010, where he ranks among the top running backs in the league and what the Texans need to accomplish in order to make the playoffs following a 6-10 season.
On Tuesday, safety Charlie Peprah, linebacker Desmond Bishop and defensive back Jarrett Bush from the Super Bowl XLV champion Green Bay Packers appeared in-studio to talk about what it will take for the Packers to repeat as champions. Cleveland Browns tight end Benjamin Watson also appeared in-studio on Tuesday and talked about the team moving forward with quarterback Colt McCoy leading the offense.
Below are video links and quotes from Monday and Tuesday’s editions of NFL Total Access:

– Cleveland Browns tight end Benjamin Watson discusses the current state of the franchise:

– “It’s just the combination of a couple of things: a lot of hard work combined with the opportunity. That’s all that we can do as men is answer the call whenever the opportunity knocks. I got the opportunity and I made the best of it.” – Arian Foster on rushing for a league-leading 1,616 yards in his first season as a starter
– “My responsibility and my job is to make sure the people in the front office don’t replace me, because every single day they’re looking to replace me. So I have to make sure I block with the best, run with the best and catch with the best. That’s my job.” – Arian Foster on where he ranks among the other running backs in the NFL
– “We just need to finish as a team. In all honesty, there were times when the offense didn’t finish drives at the end of the game, and there were times when the defense didn’t finish drives at the end of the game. We need to learn how to finish.” – Arian Foster on how the Houston Texans can make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history
– “All of the guys staying hungry. You get one [Super Bowl]; it’s good, but we know coming back this next year everybody is going to be hunting us down. So, if everybody stays hungry we could do it.” – Desmond Bishop on what it will take for the Packers to repeat as Super Bowl champions
– “He’s by far one of the most instinctive players I’ve ever had the chance to play with. Just his knowledge of the game, just the way he goes about preparing throughout the week, just the film study. He leads by example; he’s not really a rah-rah type of guy. … [He’s] a pro in all aspects.” – Charlie Peprah on Packers cornerback Charles Woodson
– “Not just me, but we’re all going to do our job. I think this team has made a commitment to improve; that’s what we want to do. That’s what we wanted to do last year [and] it didn’t turn out that well. But I really think this offseason a lot of guys on this team have made a personal commitment to [say] ‘We’re not going to be 5-11 next year.’” – Benjamin Watson on how the Cleveland Browns will bounce back from last season

Cleveland Gladiators Host Pittsburgh Power with East Division Title on the Line on “Arena Football Friday” on Friday, July 15 at 8:00 PM ET
With two games remaining in the regular season, the top two teams in the East Division of the American Conference face off on NFL Network’s “Arena Football Friday” on Friday, July 15 at 8:00 PM ET. The first-place Cleveland Gladiators (9-7) look to bounce back from a loss last week and claim the East Division title against the second-place Pittsburgh Power (8-8). Mike Adamle provides the play-by-play, while Anthony Herron serves as game analyst. Former quarterback for the Philadelphia Soul and Los Angeles Avengers Tony Graziani provides reports from the sidelines of Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Pittsburgh enters the game on a two-game losing streak, and has dropped four of its last five games. Most recently, the Power fell at home to the Arizona Rattlers, 68-34, on July 10. Pittsburgh currently sits a game behind Cleveland in the East Division, and a game behind the Georgia Force and Orlando Predators for the final two playoff spots in the American Conference.
The Gladiators will look rebound from a 49-21 loss on the road to the Philadelphia Soul last week and clinch the East Division title. With a win, Cleveland would claim the No. 2 seed and host a first-round playoff game.
This is the second meeting of the season between the two teams. In the first game on June 4, the Power defeated the Gladiators 35-32 on the strength of three touchdown passes from quarterback Bernard Morris. Cleveland quarterback Kurt Rocco threw four touchdown passes in the loss.
Cleveland is making its second consecutive appearance on NFL Network; last week, the Gladiators lost to the Philadelphia Soul, 49-21. Pittsburgh is making its final of three appearances on NFL Network. In the two previous games, the Power lost to the Philadelphia Soul 58-52 in the opening game of the season (March 11) and to the Orlando Predators 62-54 on July 1.
Last week on “Arena Football Friday,” the Soul defeated the Gladiators 49-21 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Soul quarterback Ryan Vena threw three touchdowns – all to wide receiver Larry Brackins – and rushed for two more. Rocco threw two touchdowns, both to wide receiver Troy Bergeron.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats Host Saskatchewan Roughriders & B.C. Lions Travel to Face Edmonton Eskimos on NFL Network’s Coverage of the Canadian Football League Saturday, July 16 at 4:00 PM ET
NFL Network’s coverage of the Canadian Football League continues this week with two games on Saturday, July 16, beginning with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-2) at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-2) at 4:00 PM ET. In the second game, the B.C. Lions (0-2) travel to face the Edmonton Eskimos (2-0) at 7:00 PM ET.
In the first game, both the Roughriders and Tiger-Cats will be looking for their first victories of the season. Last week Saskatchewan fell to the Montreal Aloutettes at home 39-25, while Hamilton fell 28-10 to Edmonton on the road, both of which aired on NFL Network.
The second game features a matchup of West Division foes. First-place Edmonton is coming off a victory over Hamilton last week, while the B.C. Lions will look to crack the win column after losses to Montreal and Calgary in the first two weeks of the season.
