Seahawks will be ready to rate t Antworten

SURREY, B. Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Red Black .C. - B.C. Lions club president Dennis Skulsky ensured a "guaranteed win" against the Roughriders, one of the best teams in the CFL. If the Lions (5-3) lose to the Riders (5-2), B.C. fans will get a free ticket to a future game. The gesture, the first in the Lions 61-year history, is a throwback to a time when team owners guaranteed wins to help boost crowds. In this case, a loss could be an expensive setback, because the Lions anticipate their largest crowd of the season as they open the upper deck at B.C. Place Stadium, due in large part to rabid Rider fans. You can watch live coverage on TSN and TSN GO tonight at 7pm et/4pm pt. Andrew Harris has a guarantee of his own on a team full of them. "I feel great, I feel great — thats a guarantee," said the B.C. running back, who will return from a one-game injury absence when the Lions host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday. But Harris, who sat out last weekends win in Toronto due to a sore ankle, his teammates and coaches welcomed Skulskys move as they held their last full practice Friday prior to Sundays contest — despite the added pressure that the guarantee might put on them. Regardless of whether Skulskys move was just a marketing ploy, Harris has gained added motivation from it. "For me, personally, I attack every week and I guarantee myself a win," said Harris, who leads the league in yards from scrimmage with 781. "Anything less than that is disappointing. So for the president to come out and say that, it definitely puts a little bit more fire into the blood — and (the Roughriders) are even more fired up as well." Harris also hopes Skulskys promise will lead to a better effort at home, where the usually dominant Lions are a modest 2-2. "For us, we havent been that great at home," said Harris. "We need to be better. So whatever kind of tactic it was on his part, its working, and were ready." Saskatchewan fans have also provided a guarantee of sorts by renting a billboard in a high-traffic area near B.C. Place that, bearing a female fan and Roughriders logo, claims "Green is the new orange" in to the clubs respective colours. "Its just kind of disrespectful," said Harris. "I didnt see the billboard personally, but I think having a B.C. Lion billboard in Riderville would be upsetting to them, too." Either way, he added, the billboard, along with Skulskys guarantee, shows the importance that both teams and their fans are placing in the game. With a win, both the Lions and the Riders, who had a bye last weekend, have a chance to gain a share of first place in the West Division. So was Skulskys ploy really necessary to help the Lions cause? Does it have the chance to harm more than help a Lions team who are looking to extend their win streak to four games? Coach Mike Benevides said he and general manager Wally Buono discussed the guarantee with Skulsky beforehand. But Benevides, who was impressed with Skulskys passion as he issued the guarantee during a radio interview, dismissed the idea that the club president has put more pressure on the coaches and players. "Pressure? When youre in pro sports, our job is to win the game," said Benevies. "So there is no extra pressure." Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn said Skulskys gesture was a sign of the confidence that he has in players. "The same way that Saskatchewan has confidence in their team and they posted their (billboard) in somebody elses town," said Glenn. "It goes both ways. Both teams have to come out. Saskatchewan is a very good team, and we know were in for a battle. I think both sides know its going to be a good game, and were going to make sure that its a good game." Glenn will attempt to live up to that promise as he starts amidst seemingly added pressure from the presence of Travis Lulay, who continues to progress from off-season shoulder surgery. Lulay, who will suit up for his third game of the season, is expected to slot in occasionally, as he did in Toronto, depending on how things go for Glenn as Benevides gradually increases the usual No. 1 quarterbacks playing time. Meanwhile, returner Tim Brown, chosen as the CFL special teams player of the week after racking up 249 return yards in Toronto, will draw back into the B.C. lineup after his status was uncertain earlier this week. "These (Roughriders) are a huge challenge on special teams," he said. "You have to have the best guys on the field, and (Brown) is gonna give us a chance (to win)." Benevides has juggled his roster after saying on Monday that Brown had only a "50-50" chance of playing because of the nuances of the leagues Canadian and import player ratio. The coach said that, contrary to his earlier comment, Browns place in the lineup is "100 per cent guaranteed." Cheap Nike Air Max Plus .

Team officials travelled to Los Angeles on Thursday night to meet with the free agent, a person with knowledge of the plans said.PHOENIX - As it is, a pretty persuasive case could be made that Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and the rest of the Seattle Seahawks defence is among the very best groups on that side of the ball in NFL history.The Seahawks are the first team since coach Buddy Ryans 1985-86 Chicago Bears to give up the fewest points per game and fewest yards per game in back-to-back seasons.Theyre also the first team in more than 40 years, since the Minnesota Vikings Purple People Eaters of 1969-71, to lead the league in points allowed for three consecutive seasons.Where would Seattle rank, though, if it manages to beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Sundays Super Bowl, a year after overwhelming Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the championship game?Not surprisingly, in this age of Twitters ability to instantly transform a mild boast into motivational material for an opponent, the Seahawks are not quite willing to wade into a debate.That would be cool, once you look back 20 or 30 years from now, to see how good you are. I remember the great defences back in the day. Theyre still being talked about. Teams from the 70s, from the 80s, theyre still being talked about to this day, even, linebacker K.J. Wright said. So when it gets to 2040, we can look back and just see how good we are. Itll be pretty fun.Others are ready to assess the Seahawks today.Over a two-year period, theyre as good as anybody thats played, said Brian Billick, coach of the Ray Lewis-led 2000 Baltimore Ravens that set a league record for fewest points in a season.Another former NFL head coach, Steve Mariucci, is impressed by the way Seattle has put up strong statistics year after year lately.Theyre in the conversation because of continuity over time, said Mariucci, now an NFL Network analyst. The Bears were pretty good over time, too, but they didnt win another Super Bowl. They were one-and-done.Those Chicago teams featured Hall of Famers, but they also used a never-before-seen scheme that confounded opponents. The Seahawks ddont necessarily present creative formations or try to confuse offences. Cheap Nike Tns Online. Instead, they rely plenty on everyone sticking to their assignments, hard hitting, turnovers and closing speed that helps limit opponents yards after catches.To try to avoid fumbling Sunday, the Patriots worked this week on protecting the ball.Running with slippery balls. Guys trying to strip the ball from you all practice, receiver Brandon LaFell said, adding that coach Bill Belichick puts a ton of water on the balls, and weve got the greased balls that are real slick.Brady calls playing against the Seahawks a grind and a test of wills.Youve got to run good routes. Youve got to make good throws. Youve got to throw into tight windows, Brady said. Theyve got a lot of eyes on the quarterback, so youve got to be conscious of those things, and youve still got to be able to play aggressively and play with confidence. You cant let one bad play affect another.The Seahawks defensive lines ability to fluster Brady and slow burly running back LeGarrette Blount could be key Sunday, and much of that responsibility will fall to Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril.But Seattles success really starts in the secondary with the self-styled Legion of Boom, led by All-Pros Sherman at cornerback and Thomas at safety. The other safety, Kam Chancellor, gets less recognition, but as Sherman put it: He doesnt fly under the radar on the field.Another vital cog is All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, whose value became most clear when he was out of the lineup for five games with a toe injury. Since his return, Seattle is 8-0.If they make that 9-0 with another Super Bowl victory, then maybe even the Seahawks will be ready to rate themselves.We can definitely talk about it. We have to win the game first, Wagner said. But if we win the game, we can talk about it.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
