Derek Law will be a ninth-inning option in a Antworten

PHILADELPHIA -- Jim Schwartz wont let his defense fear Antonio Brown or the rest of Pittsburghs high-powered offense.After handling the Browns and the Bears, the Philadelphia Eagles have a tough test against the Steelers on Sunday. Ben Roethlisberger, Brown and NFL leading rusher DeAngelo Williams lead a group that has averaged 31 points in the first two games.Containing Brown is usually the key to beating the Steelers.Yeah, we know what number he wears, so we wont have a problem finding him, Schwartz said Thursday. But its not just him. If we concentrate too much on 84 (Brown) -- and hes going to get a lot of our attention, for sure -- theres a lot of other guys that can make us pay.Were going to have to play a good total team game; were going to have to play total team defense. Its not just going to be about stopping one guy. There are a lot of other matchups that we need to win in this game.Schwartz has helped the defense improve dramatically in his first season as coordinator. A unit that ranked in the bottom five each of the past three years has allowed just two touchdowns and one field goal.But Cleveland and Chicago dont compare to Pittsburghs offense.This will be the best offense we face this season, safety Malcolm Jenkins said.On paper, rookie cornerback Jalen Mills covering Brown is a major mismatch. Mills said hes concentrating on playing technique football instead of focusing on Brown because he expects to line up against other Steelers receivers, too.We have a lot of great receivers in our division so its one week at a time, one player at a time, Mills said.Roethlisberger puts added pressure on the secondary because of his ability to avoid the rush and extend plays. Jenkins, Mills and the other defensive backs have to remain disciplinedHes one of best in the business at sliding and picking and just working his way around the pocket, Schwartz said. Hes a giant man, hes not afraid of contact in there. A lot of the plays get extended. ... So we need to keep our rush going. Its not just 2 seconds you are rushing for. Youve got to keep going. Hes not coming down on an arm tackle. You can grab the jersey and hes still going to throw it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Lebron James Shoes Deal .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. http://www.cheapkdshoesclearance.com/cheap-kevin-durant/kd-12-clearance-for-sale.html . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. SAN FRANCISCO -- Alex Reyes arrived in the majors this year already packing some of the best stuff in baseball.On Sunday, the 22-year-old Cardinals right-hander showed he can handle the spotlight just fine, too.Reyes pitched seven dominant innings in his third major league start, fellow rookie Aledmys Diaz hit a two-run homer and St. Louis moved up in the tight NL wild-card race by beating the San Francisco Giants 3-0 on Sunday.He kind of answers a lot of questions about whether he can handle pressure when you put him in a spot like that, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. He knows where we are in the season and hes been able to stay focused and continue to really maximize the moment.The Giants dropped one game behind the New York Mets for the top NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals closed within one game of San Francisco.St. Louis split this four-game series, winning the final two. The struggling Giants finished their homestand 2-5 and have won just one series at AT&T Park since the All-Star break.Reyes (3-1) has thrived since being called up on Aug. 9 when Michael Wacha went on the disabled list with shoulder discomfort.Coming into the series you know its going to be a playoff atmosphere, Reyes said. Being on the field for the first time here in San Francisco it was fun and it was exciting to be on the mound.Reyes gave up four hits, struck out six and walked two. The rightys fastball was consistently in the mid-to-upper 90s mph, and he also mixed in a slider.Not the 100-plus mph stuff hes flashed, but an efficient game plan that got the job done.Just being consistent, throwing everything for strikes and getting early contact and not being afraid to let them put the ball in play, Reyes said. Thats what worked today.Seung Hwan Oh pitched a scoreless ninth for his 18th save.Diaz hit his 16th homer in the third off Albert Suarez (3-4). The All-Stars shot followed Matt Carpenters two-out double.Suarez has allowed three runs or fewer in his first 11 career starts, but the rookie is winless in 10 outings (including six starts) since June 23.The Giants appeared to still be reeling from another blown ninth-inning lead in Saturdays 3-2 loss.That hurt, not holding on, thats a big swing, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Satuurdays game.ddddddddddddThe Giants were 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.We created some chances today, we just couldnt get them in, we couldnt get the big hit, Bochy said.LAW AND ORDERWith the Giants in desperate need of bullpen help, manager Bruce Bochy said right-hander Derek Law will be a ninth-inning option in a reshuffling plan going forward. Giants relievers have blown seven of 11 save opportunities this month. The team has already tied a franchise record with eight losses in games it led after eight innings.Law has an 0.39 ERA in 26 outings since July 4.Its time to tweak it a little bit, Bochy said, Im not saying Laws the closer, but with him and (right-hander Hunter Strickland), theyre going to be more in the mix in the eighth and ninth.TRAINERS ROOMUmpires: Plate umpire Brian ONora left the game after being struck in the mask by a foul ball of Hunter Pences bat in the second inning. He was diagnosed with a concussion by Giants team doctor Kenneth Akizuki. Second base umpire Laz Diaz called the rest of the game behind the plate.Ive been doing this for 30 years and Ive never been hit that hard, ONora said.Cardinals: 1B Matt Adams was out of the lineup a day after being pulled from Saturdays game with a jammed left wrist, but was available to pinch-hit, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. ... Plans to let injured OF Matt Holliday bat in a simulated game are on hold until further notice. Holliday has been out since Aug. 12 with a swollen right thumb. Wed like to see consecutive days with him letting it go and no setbacks in order for us to even start talking about having a live session, Matheny said.UP NEXTCardinals: RHP Carlos Martinez (14-8, 3.15 ERA) pitches the series opener in Colorado. He is 4-1 with six quality starts in his last seven outings.Giants: LHP Madison Bumgarner (14-9, 2.66 ERA) faces three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw in what will be the 11th matchup between the two southpaws in the series opener in Los Angeles. Bumgarner is 4-3 with a 4.44 ERA in nine starts since Aug. 2.---This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Aledmys Diaz. ' ' '
