Two champions, begin their first Division One Antworten

BEREA, Ohio -- Racing downfield after cruising past the cornerback, Terrelle Pryor dove forward and grasped the ball with his fingertips as he fell to the turf.Fans watching at training camp cheered the 50-yard reception, as Pryor got up from the ground and spiked the ball to the turf, before jogging back downfield and bumping chests with Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III.The excitement emanating from Pryor was evident, as it has been for entirety of his second training camp with the Browns.After a year spent struggling with the transition from passer to pass-catcher, hes finally starting to feel like a real wide receiver.To actually be out there battling with corners and being able to beat corners man to man and getting off press pretty easy now. ... Im very excited, Pryor said. This game is the love of my life.Pryor initially made the move from quarterback to receiver in training camp with Cleveland a year ago, but had a nagging hamstring strain that kept him out of all but one exhibition game.The Browns added Pryor to the 53-man roster out of camp, but cut him before the teams first regular-season game, only to bring him back for the final five games of the season.After the roller-coaster season, Pryor spent time this summer working on his skills as a wide receiver with former Vikings star Randy Moss and current Browns quarterback Josh McCown in Charlotte, N.C.Terrelle came down there and worked his tail off, McCown said. Hes turning over every rock to make sure he can find a way to get himself better and its a hats-off and a credit to him because he wants it.From what Pryor has shown thus far in camp, Browns coach Hue Jackson thinks the training has paid off.He made the transition from quarterback to receiver, Jackson said. Hes handled it very well. Im very proud of what hes doing.As head coach of the Raiders in 2011, Jackson drafted Pryor -- then a quarterback -- and the two maintained a good relationship as they met again with the Bengals.Now together for the third time in Cleveland, Pryor and Jackson are providing help to each other.In Pryor, Jackson has a player that understands his offense and can teach it to Clevelands group of receivers that includes first-round pick Corey Coleman and the recently reinstated Josh Gordon.Sometimes, hell just tell me, `Terrelle, shut up. Dont answer this, Pryor said of Jackson. Its because I know this stuff pretty good. Im excited just to get the guys sped up, or if the guys have any questions, Im here to help in any way.In Jackson, Pryor has a coach who believes in his talent and views him as a potentially big piece of the Browns offense this season.There are a lot of different things that well do with Terrelle because I think hes very talented, Jackson said. Well just continue to find different ways to have him make a difference on our offensive football team.One of the ways in which Jackson will use Pryor involves the receiver undergoing yet another transition, though this move isnt a switch in positions.Rather, Pryor is switching from one side of the field to the other, moving from the X receiver to the Z receiver, where hell be lined up often next to the tight end.The receiver isnt at all concerned about switching sides, so long as he can still be on the field.I just want to go and help however I can, be a playmaker, Pryor said. Put me on the field, Im going to make a play and thats got to be my mindset. Thats what I want to do. Thats my ultimate goal.Game notes Pro Bowl TE Gary Barnidge (sports hernia) was held out of practice as he recovers from surgery. . OT Joe Thomas and DE Paul Kruger were at practice, but did not participate as they were given a veterans day off. . The Browns held a nine-minute hitting period, but left the first and second-team players on the sidelines in an effort to get younger players involved. . Jackson said the team will host a scrimmage in Berea on Friday before playing an intrasquad mock game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Saturday.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jarrad Davis Youth Jersey . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. Kerryon Johnson Lions Jersey . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. http://www.shopdetroitlionsnfl.com/lions-austin-bryant-black-jersey/ . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Calvin Johnson Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Calvin Johnson Lions Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. English crickets groundbreaking first full round of floodlit County Championship fixtures will be staged on June 26 next season, only five days after the summer solstice. Fixtures for the 2017 county season have also been revealed.The experiment forms part of a crammed season in which England also stages the Champions Trophy in June and features an international schedule that runs from Irelands visit on May 5 until an ODI against West Indies at the Ageas Bowl as late as September 29. The Womens World Cup also takes place in England in July.Whether floodlit Championship cricket has any success in widening the fan base remains to be seen, but one thing that can be assured is that it will not bankrupt the counties because of excessive electricity bills. With sunset not until around 9.20pm in late June, the floodlights will probably only be used for the final session.The announcement breaks new ground for the County Championship, which has only featured one previous day-night match - a trial game between Kent and Glamorgan at Canterbury in 2011.The ECB hopes to stimulate new interest in the Championship, although of more relevance perhaps is the opportunity for England players to experience the conditions before Edgbaston hosts the inaugural floodlit Test in the UK, between England and West Indies between August 17-21.With West Indies also getting a trial run under lights ahead of the Edgbaston Test, against Derbyshire from August 11-13, it means that 10 of the 18 first-class counties will stage day-night fixtures with pink balls next summer.Dukes pink balls will be used - the regular make of ball for international cricket in England - even though many of the experiments over the past decade have been with the Kookaburra ball, which is normally held to be less receptive to swing.Tom Harrison, the ECBs chief executive, who confirmed the floodlit experiment last month, said: We were excited to announce a few weeks ago that Edgbaston will be staging an historic day-night Test, and its great that the counties, and the Specsavers County Championship, can also get involved.It was important for us to arrange a full round of fixtures to give our England players the chance to experience the conditions. But just as we wanted to assess the impact of making Test cricket more accessible by changing the hours of play, the counties have really embraced the potential of Championship matches that stretch well into the evening when people have finished school or work.The early indications from Edgbaston are that day-night Test cricket is proving very popular, and hhopefully it will be the same for the Championship now the fixtures are confirmed.dddddddddddd It will be fascinating to see how it works out.In the latest tweak to the county schedule, seven Championship rounds begin on a Friday in 2017, meaning a significant increase in the amount of weekend Championship cricket. The season begins on April 7 and the final round of matches does not begin until September 25.Essex, last years Division Two champions, begin their first Division One season since 2010 with a home game against Lancashire, while Andrew Gale will have home advantage at Headingley against Hampshire - spared from relegation by Durhams punishment for falling into debt - in his first match as Yorkshires coach.Middlesex, who won their first Championship title since 1993 in such thrilling circumstances by beating Yorkshire at Lords in September, are not in action until the second round of matches, starting on Friday April 14, when they visit Hampshire.The long-running debate over the future of professional T20 cricket in England also takes another twist as the NatWest T20 Blast reverts to a block of fixtures. It will begin on July 7 and dominate the next seven weeks of the county season, with teams contesting 14 group matches in a concentrated period in high summer rather than spread over three months as previously.With emphasis turning entirely to T20 as the schools break up, no Championship matches are scheduled for almost four weeks during that period.The success, or otherwise, of the new format, may provide political ammunition in the long-running debate about whether an eight-team city league would be the saviour for an English professional game with combined debts of £150m (although the ECB has roughly half that in reserve) or whether it would shrink the game by forcing some counties into irrelevance and bankruptcy.The top four in each of the North and South groups will again qualify for the Blast quarter-finals, which will be played on four consecutive evenings from August 22-25 ahead of Finals Day at Edgbaston on September 2.The Royal London Cup is brought forward to early season, with all the group matches completed before the Champions Trophy in June. A change to the format will see the top two from each group go straight into the semi-finals, with the second- and third-placed teams contesting a pair of play-offs. One outcome that should be widely welcomed is that the Lords final takes place on July 1. ' ' '
