themselves up every day the way he does. from zgr123's blog
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit . - The way Mike Wallace sees it, unless the Miami Dolphins rise to the occasion Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, Elvis has left the building.Its now or never, Wallace said.The veteran receiver acknowledges the Dolphins still feel the sting of a late-season collapse a year ago that cost them a playoff berth. Theyre eager to avoid a repeat, and the matchup against the Ravens is potentially pivotal.Miami and Baltimore are two of six AFC teams tied at 7-5.Its our time to shine, Wallace said. Its our time to rise and prove that were a team that is trending upward at this time of the year and a different team from last year.The Ravens feel the same way. They made the playoffs every season from 2008 to 2012 before going 8-8 last year, and theyre eager to start another streak.With the standings so tightly bunched in the final month, they know stakes are high.If youre in the hunt and you lose, youre in trouble, coach John Harbaugh said.Here are things to know as the Ravens and Dolphins hunt for a win:PLAYOFF PATH: One projection gave the Dolphins a 39 per cent chance of making the playoffs, with the Ravens at 33 per cent. Miami coach Joe Philbin hasnt checked the math.There are 9 million scenarios, Im sure, and 8,000 different tiebreaker rules, Philbin said. So I havent spent time really figuring out all the variables and all the possibilities. What I have spent time on is watching the Ravens. This is a good team were playing.Five AFC teams have a record better than 7-5, which means a lot of competition for the sixth and final post-season berth. That makes it unlikely Baltimore and Miami will both earn a spot, lending more importance to Sundays game.Theyre all one of 16, but that week, man, the game is the most important thing out there, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. And this time of the year, when you see all the teams jumbled up there, its tough to not think its a little bit more serious than that. We definitely feel like its a big game, and its going to prove to be big in the end.WHAT A RUSH: Ravens running back Justin Forsett has eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his seven-year career, and he leads all NFL running backs with an average of 5.6 yards per carry.Now hell face a Dolphins defence that has been gouged on the ground for 277 and 201 yards the past two weeks.Watching them on film, I dont want to fall into the trap of thinking this thing is going to be easy and we are going to be able to run all day, Forsett said. I know they are a physical bunch. I know they are athletic and they have a lot of playmakers over there, so I am anticipating a tough game.SACK HAPPY: With the Ravens struggling in the defensive backfield, sack specialists Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs have taken it upon themselves to increase the pressure on the quarterback.You have to have a good, effective pass rush every game, said Suggs, who has seven sacks. We have guys in this locker room that really love to get after the passer. Thats a key part of our game.Dumervil said his lofty sack total can be attributed in part to the secondary, even though the Ravens rank 31st in the NFL in yards passing allowed.I wouldnt have gotten 12 1/2 sacks without our coverage, he said. Pass coverage and sacks go hand in hand. Ive got to get better, theyve got to get better and weve got to do it together.The Ravens will be without defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, suspended for four games this week for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.FavourITE FOIL: Harbaugh and Flacco are 4-0 against the Dolphins, including three wins in Miami.I really dont remember the games that much, other than theyve been hard-fought, Harbaugh said.Actually, the Ravens outscored the Dolphins in those four games 106-55. The past two times the Dolphins reached the playoffs, in 2001 and 2008, they were eliminated by Baltimore.FAMILIAR FOE: Wallace faced the Ravens twice a season when he played for Pittsburgh, and said he knows what to expect.We always have hated those guys, Wallace said. Its a physical week. We know its going to be one of those weeks where you have to bring your hard hat.___AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve_Wine Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 Bianche . Speaking with TSN 1050 following Brendan Shanahans introductory press conference, the Leafs GM also addressed the clubs perceived leadership issues and the type of working relationship that can be expected within Torontos front office. Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit Uomo Bianche .com) - Graeme McDowell opened up with a first- round, 5-under 67 on Thursday and he holds a 2-shot lead at the WGC - HSBC Champions.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Hunter Pence most definitely found the right place.A day after saying he hadnt been sure until this year that the Royals played in Missouri rather than Kansas, Pence jolted Kauffman Stadium with a two-run, first-inning homer that quieted the crowd and sparked the San Francisco Giants to a 7-1 win in Tuesday nights World Series opener.It was really loud in my head, Pence said. Sometimes, my mind, when Im playing the game or our team is doing something good, its like an emptiness. I dont know whats going on around me.Pence had been 0 for 11 against James Shields before the homer. The right fielder who wears his socks extraordinarily high doubled and scored for a 4-0 lead in the fourth and also walked twice as the Giants won their seventh straight Series game dating to 2010.Youve got to work down, almost bouncing pitches at times, Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. But his strike zone is so big, its difficult.Pence started a meme on Aug. 1 when he tweeted a photo of himself in a New York coffee shop with the message, These pretzels are making me thirsty, a reference to a 1991 episode of the television sitcom Seinfeld.Fans started showing up at ballparks referencing Pences quirks with nonsensical signs.One of my favourites in Kansas City was, Hunter Pence Thinks Hes in Kansas, Pence explained on the eve of the opener. Once I read the sign, I said, I guess Im not in Kansas, so I have to be in Missouri. So I didnt know.The 31-year-old right fielder, acquired by the Giants from Philadelphia at the 2012 trade deadline, entertained at Mondays media day, looking a bit like a mid-1980s Bruce Springsteen with a bandanna around his hair. Hes been known to wear a LINCECOM KNOWS sign in honour of teammate Tim Lincecum, who dresses a couple off spots away in San Franciscos home clubhouse. Nike Roshe One Nere uomo. A three-time All-Star, Pence is among the key emotional components in a clubhouse that could become the first NL team to win three championships in a five-year span since the 1942-46 St. Louis Cardinals. His leaping catch — tongue wagging, too — against the right-field wall of Jayson Werths sixth-inning drive helped the Giants in their clinching Game 4 win over Washington in the NL Division Series.He gathers his teammates in the clubhouse after wins for profanity-filled speeches or to offer congratulations for certain accomplishments, team and individual. Sometimes, manager Bruce Bochy doesnt need to say a word in team meetings, acknowledging Pence had the subject covered quite well.His energy, his enthusiasm, his passion for the game — hes tireless, Bochy said. Not a lot of guys can get themselves up every day the way he does. Hes a tireless worker, and Ive said this: Hes my lowest maintenance player Ive ever had. I just put his name in the lineup and leave him alone.Pence calls playing in San Francisco at always sold-out AT&T Park a magical atmosphere.Its just a group that I felt like I fit in, he said. There are a lot of accepting people of different personalities.Bumgarner said Pence holds most of the team meetings, not Bochy. He praised him profusely, saying its been an honour and a blessing to have him as a teammate.Sitting next to him, Pence leaned over to give a bromance hug and patted the pitcher on the head.I paid him to say that, he said before quickly adding: No, Im just kidding.That intense focus and always-on personality is part of Pence.Its kind of a blessing and a curse, he said. At home, I get people really angry with me, but on the field it works out good.
