The Denver Broncos hired Jack Del Rio as their defensive coordinator.

Sources: Raiders to hire Broncos DC Dennis Allen

The Oakland Raiders will hire Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as head coach, according to league sources.

The two sides spent much of Tuesday night hammering out an agreement and the contract is agreed to in principle but has not been signed, sources said.

New general manager Reggie McKenzie decided on his new coach exactly two weeks after he was hired. He immediately fired Hue Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season as coach, and began the search.

Allen, a relative unknown to fans, was a finalist for the Rams' coaching job, according to sources, and would have been under strong consideration had Jeff Fisher not opted for St. Louis.

I know this for sure -- on the night home from Philadelphia a little over two weeks ago - Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan and his father, Mike, had a detailed conversation over Matt Flynn's performance against the Lions.

They were very impressed and pleased to see the results, despite not being able to witness the work. I am told that they have had other conversations about Flynn, and it would appear based on a few sources inside the organization that the Redskins are 'very interested' as one source described to me.

Of course, we shall see when 'rubber meets the road' and it comes down to contract time. I think the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and a few other teams could be in the mix.

Our ESPN 980 Front Office NFL Insider, J.I. Halsell expects a very modest contract for a potential NFL starter, because simply -- teams do not know how good Flynn will be as a starter, with limited experience.

The health of tight end Aaron Hernandez is of primary importance to the Patriots this week. Hernandez left Saturday's win over the Broncos with a head injury in the fourth quarter -- he appeared to be given a concussion test on the sideline -- and didn't return.

After the game, Hernandez said he was OK, and that remains the case today.

"I feel great," Hernandez told reporters. "Ready to play."

In their first meeting, the Broncos had what they thought was a solid scheme against the high-scoring Patriots.

Champ Bailey helped keep Rob Gronkowski in check, limiting the talented tight end to just four catches.

In the middle of the field, undrafted rookie cornerback Chris Harris shadowed Wes Welker and held him to just four catches.

Normally, that might be enough to derail the high-scoring Patriots.

Not even close.

All the attention on those two left Aaron Hernandez free to roam around the field. Covered mainly by linebackers, Hernandez had a memorable day at the office.

For Denver, it's back to the drawing board. With a new tactic that will almost certainly include more focus on Hernandez.

"We've got to have a better plan of who our matchups are, where those matchups are and how we're going to defend them," defensive coordinator Dennis Allen said. "I think we've got a pretty good plan for how we're going to defend those guys."

Jermichael Finley "pissed" about his regular season performance
Thursday, January 12, 2012, 12:19pm

When Jermichael Finley looks back on the 2011 regular season, he doesn’t like what he sees.

“A guy like me, I’m pretty pissed off about the season I had,” the Green Bay Packers fourth-year tight end said matter-of-factly Wednesday. “I view it as mediocre. An average season – just because of the level of play I know I can play at. I don’t think I played well this year.”

That’s what makes Sunday’s NFC Divisional Playoff game against the New York Giants at Lambeau Field so important to Finley. While he caught 55 passes for 767 yards and eight touchdowns in the regular season – more than solid numbers in the Packers’ spread-the-wealth passing game – Finley would like nothing more than to atone for what he considers a subpar season by taking his game to a dominant level in the postseason.

“I’m viewing the playoffs like wiping the slate clean,” said Finley, who caught six passes for a season-high 87 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ first meeting with the Giants, a 38-35 victory at MetLife Stadium on Dec. 4. “The (Denver) Broncos were 8-8, but when you get to the playoffs, you’re 0-0. That’s the thing right now.”

While the Rams may be celebrating the departure of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after a horrible season of play-calling, his signing with the Patriots as an offensive assistant creates some interesting controversies. One team labeled his hiring with New England as a loophole in the coaching rules that allows him to go to another team during the playoffs. McDaniels knows the Broncos better than anyone. He put them together in 2009 and 2010 and ended up losing his job as coach in the process. Now he gets to go up against many of the players he selected in the draft and in free agency, including Tebow.

"That's going to be strange," Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas said. "He drafted me and Tim."

Knowing Bill Belichick is big on knowledge, though, the Patriots will have a significant advantage in preparation.

Broncos WR Eric Decker out for Patriots game

The knee injury to Broncos receiver Eric Decker in Denver's 29-23 victory over the Steelers on Sunday was not as severe as it initially appeared, but he will not play against the Patriots on Saturday night at New England.

Decker was helped off the field. He has a sprained medial collateral ligament that will be further examined with a magnetic resonance imaging test today. A tear to the anterior cruciate ligament would have meant a long recovery period.
