ater that inning in his second Antworten

PITTSBURGH -- The fast-talking cornerback that never met a wide receiver he didnt like to mess with is taking a decidedly different approach when it comes to Antonio Brown.No shade. No sarcasm. No passive-aggressive taunting from Josh Norman heading into Washingtons opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Goading Odell Beckham is one thing. Doing the same with a player who is treating his clubs record book like a dry erase board is something else entirely.Now coming in and just watching him and what hes able to do, its just freakish, Norman said. When you look at a wide receiver in the NFL, you dont have to stop nowhere other than Antonio Brown. It starts and it ends with him.With an emphasis -- the Redskins hope -- on end.The offense that takes the field on Monday night wont exactly look like the one the Steelers envisioned heading into 2016. Running back LeVeon Bell will spend the first three weeks serving a suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.Wide receiver Martavis Bryant is sitting out the entire season because of drug issues of his own. Tight end Ladarius Green -- signed to fill the void left by Heath Millers retirement -- is on the physically unable to perform list and its anybodys guess on when hell return.Their absence makes Brown that much more valuable while simultaneously making the Steelers that much more vulnerable if Washington finds a way to neutralize him.While the Redskins are keeping mum on whether Normans No. 24 will shadow Brown no matter where he lines up in offensive coordinator Todd Haleys imaginative scheme, Brown insists he doesnt care one way or the other.Asked Thursday if he expects Norman to follow him, Brown joked I think a lot of people follow me on Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram.It kind of comes with the territory these days when you grab an NFL-leading 375 catches over the past three years followed by a long run on Dancing With The Stars. As Brown likes to say, business is indeed booming.Yet for all that comes with Brown -- who received a $4 million pay bump for the Steelers last week and who donned a gold necklace with a diamond-encrusted silhouette of Brown doing his signature touchdown shimmy after practice -- the internal fire that made the former sixth-round pick into a superstar burns as bright as ever.The key for the Steelers is making sure Normans chatter doesnt cause the flame to blossom into a full-on meltdown such as the one that earned Beckham an ejection last December after the New York Giants wide receiver constantly tussled with Norman, who was playing for Carolina.Haley allows Brown is a highly emotional player who only has one speed whether its in practice or swimming the pool.Its one of the many things that makes Brown so effective. Yet quarterback Ben Roethlisberger also is wary of what can happen if Brown and Norman get to ummm, chatting.I think the big thing for both of them will just be if they both try to play mind games with each other, Roethlisberger said. Ill talk to my receiver and make sure he keeps a level head and just plays football.For all of Normans respectful praise, Brown is well aware things are liable to change when they line up across the line of scrimmage from each other.Its OK. Norman will hardly be the first cornerback who thinks the best way to rattle Brown is not by neutralizing his arms, but by getting between his ears.Thats what they do, thats their job, Brown.Few, however, can back it up as effectively as Norman, whose hands can move just as quickly as his mouth. Norman put together a career year in 2015 that eventually morphed into a $75 million deal with Washington.Keeping one of the NFLs best in check would make for an audacious first impression. Maybe thats why for once Norman isnt trying to make his words speak as loudly as his actions.I have nothing, but respect for that guy, Norman said.Brown is eager for the challenge even if he makes it a point to not pay attention who might be on the other side. Last Brown checked, the Steelers paid him to get open no matter what.Ill be watching everybody, I just know that theyre not going to put one guy on me, Brown said. I think everybody wants some of me. Well see what happens this weekend.Game notes WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) and FB Rosie Nix (back) did not practice. RT Marcus Gilbert (elbow), DE Cam Heyward (ankle) and NTs Daniel McCullers (knee) and Javon Hargrave (quad) were full participants.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Whyno in Washington, D.C. contributed to this report---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Brian Dawkins Youth Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. Karl Mecklenburg Youth Jersey . Fellow centre Pavel Datsyuk remains out because of a concussion. Zetterberg has 11 goals and 19 assists for a team-high 30 points, and Datsyuk has a team-high 12 goals and 11 assists. http://www.thebroncosstoreonline.com/Youth-Gary-Zimmerman-Broncos-Jerseys/ . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. Tom Jackson Womens Jersey . Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Steve Atwater Broncos Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Moore hardly needed the warm, standing ovation to realize what late-season baseball is like in the Bay Area.It still meant plenty for the pitcher to receive such a greeting from San Franciscos sellout crowd. He is playing for something as September begins, in the middle of a pennant race with his new club.Moore struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings for his first career victory at AT&T Park, and the Giants got another impressive outing from their new starter to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Wednesday.Moore walked off in the sixth to a roaring ovation and tipped his cap. The left-hander had lost his initial two home starts since being acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline.It feels great to be accepted and to have that kind of energy behind you. I can feel it, Moore said. You dont really watch the scoreboard in April and May, so just right now knowing where were at, were all focused on getting ourselves on a good hot streak. It does feel like were playing for something more than you are in April and May.Moore (2-3) gave up one run and five hits in his first game since losing a no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. He was backed by a sensational running catch on Paul Goldschmidts sixth-inning drive from center fielder Gorkys Hernandez, who crashed into the wall to make the play.Manager Bruce Bochy was careful not to overwork Moore, who was done at 92 pitches after throwing 133 during the no-hit try at Los Angeles.Buster Posey drove in a pair of runs for San Francisco, which is in second in the NL West behind the Dodgers.Bochy is challenging his players to be more consistent, saying, Its up to us to play better ball.Santiago Casilla relieved Sergio Romo with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth and struck out Yasmany Tomas. Casilla finished for his 29th save, giving up Jake Lambs two-out homer in the ninth.Shelby Miller (2-10) was called up from Triple-A Reno to start. Pitching in the majors for the first time since being sent to the minors on July 14, he allowed two runs and six hits in six innings.I felt good mechanically, kind of a little jittery there in the first inning, just getting back in that atmosphere, which is always so much fun to be a part of games where fans are there, Miller said of big league crowds.ddddddddddddPosey doubled home a run in the first. Hunter Pence added an RBI single l game back after missing three with a strained right hamstring.Angel Pagan had an RBI double in the seventh and Posey hit a sacrifice fly as the Giants added insurance.San Francisco third baseman Eduardo Nunez got hit by Millers 91 mph fastball in the left ribcage area but stayed in the game in the bottom of the sixth after an athletic trainer and Bochy checked on him. He is expected to be fine to play Thursday.Arizona dropped just its fifth game in the last 16 at AT&T Park.The Giants wrapped up their tough August at 11-16 and now leave on a 10-game, 11-day road trip beginning with four games at Wrigley Field against the runaway NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs.This road trip is big. Theyre all big now, Bochy said, noting of the Cubs series: Its critical. I dont know if its quite make-or-break.TRIPLESConor Gillaspies last two hits for the Giants have been pinch-hit triples, on Sunday against Atlanta and in the seventh Wednesday ahead of Pagans double that drove him home.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Arizona optioned RHP Vicente Campos to Reno to make room for Millers return to the rotation.Giants: CF Denard Span was out of the lineup after leaving Tuesday nights loss in the seventh inning with a stiff neck. ... RHP Jake Peavy was still sore a day after receiving several shots of cortisone in his back.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (7-12, 4.28 ERA) pitches against Colorado at Coors Field having gone 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 29 strikeouts and seven walks in his last four starts.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (11-9, 4.00) pitches the opener Thursday against his former Cubs team in Chicago for th
