THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Case Keenum knows his statistics are unimpressive, and he sees the Los Angeles Rams record hovering below .500. He also realizes the raw economic imperatives faced by an NFL franchise that traded six draft picks to move up to get a quarterback with the No. 1 overall choice.The team captain still couldnt deny his hurt feelings when the Rams (4-5) promoted Jared Goff into his starting spot this week.Honestly, I wasnt happy, Keenum said Wednesday after his second practice as the backup to the 22-year-old rookie who will take his first NFL snap Sunday.I want to play, Keenum said. Thats why I play football, is to play football, is to be the quarterback, the guy with the ball in his hands. With that being said, I trust Coach (Jeff) Fisher. I trust the coaches and their decision.The Rams will get their first look at their future when the Miami Dolphins (5-4) visit the Coliseum. Goff sat behind Keenum for Los Angeles first nine games, but Goffs progress in practice and the Rams stagnant offensive performances for Keenum finally persuaded Fisher to make the change.The timing still surprised Keenum, who led the Rams in a 9-6 victory over the Jets last weekend to snap a four-game skid. Los Angeles is still well within contention for the franchises first playoff berth since 2004, and the defense has managed to win two games in which the offense couldnt score a touchdown.While fellow veteran quarterback Nick Foles asked to leave the Rams when Goff was drafted, Keenum embraced a mentoring role. That didnt make the inevitable move any easier to take.I guess it was going to happen at some point, said Keenum, who has completed 61 percent of his throws with 11 interceptions and nine TDs. But in my mind, it was my team. Thats the way I viewed it. It was my offense, and I took ownership of it.Fisher and offensive coordinator Rob Boras are aware theyre turning over the keys to an offense ranked 31st in the league in yardage and dead last with 15.4 points per game. The coaches are attempting to manage expectations even before Goff steps on the field, with Fisher already declaring that Sunday is not going to define his career.Im hoping that the game slows down for him, and I think it will, Fisher added. But theres going to be tough times in this game, because this is a good defense.Fisher made the decision to go with Goff, but Boras is charged with making it work while still keeping Keenum involved in game preparation. Boras plans to focus his play-calls on the passing schemes with which Goff has the most comfort.When we drafted Jared where we did, everybody knew what was going to happen, Boras said. It was just a question of when. Were all competitors, and Case is a competitive person. Hes not excited about this, but he also understands the situation. ... My heart goes out to Case. Case is a man. If he gets called on again, he will be ready, because thats who he is.Goffs arm strength, size and decisiveness are NFL-caliber, but the Rams acknowledge he had a longer learning curve than some passers because of coach Sonny Dykes offensive style at California, where the quarterback doesnt often take snaps under center or call plays on the field. Several teammates noted Goffs improved confidence in play-calling since his first weeks in LA.He isnt making as many hasty throws that can turn into interceptions, guard Rodger Saffold said. Hes better able to read the defenses in practice, and hes making the play calls. Hes been more fluid all around.Saffold acknowledged a little bit of surprise at the timing of the change. He realizes Goffs chances should be better in front of his home crowd, which chanted his name two weeks ago when the offense struggled mightily in a loss to Carolina.Well, you got what you wanted, Saffold said. So be out there in full force and support him, and know theres going to be some growing pains.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Adidas Shoes Online .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Another night, another world record for Adam Peaty.The British swimmer cruised to victory in the 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 57.13 seconds Sunday night, shattering the mark of 57.55 he set a day earlier in the preliminaries.Peaty blew away Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa, the defending Olympic champion who took silver this time in 58.69. The bronze went to Cody Miller of the United States, whose time of 58.87 held off teammate Kevin Cordes.Peaty pounded the water when he saw his time. Then he balanced himself atop a lane rope, spread his arms wide and looked toward the roof of the Olympic Aquatics Stadium.Its surreal, he said. After my race I needed to slap something and there was just the water right there. It was crazy. Its amazing and I probably wont be able to sleep tonight.Swedens Sarah Sjostrom also turned in a world-record performance in the 100 butterfly.She led right from the start and touched in 55.48, knocking off the mark of 55.64 she established at last years world championships.Sjostrom sat on the edge of the deck, pumping her arms in the air, and then appeared to be overcome by tears as she climbed to her feet.This was her first Olympic medal. Sjjostrom finished fourth in the 100 fly at the London Games four years ago, missing out on the bronze by just 23-hundredths of a second.ddddddddddddhe feeling is totally crazy, Sjostrom said. I didnt realize it was a world record. I knew I was the big favorite. I was under pressure, so I tried to focus on no disasters. Before the start I said to myself, `Its just a pool. Its nothing. I know what to do.She played the board game Yahtzee with her roommates in the afternoon, and then donned headphones while getting mentally prepared for the late-night race.Ive never done that before, Sjostrom said. I listened to music for the first time before a race. Why not?Penny Oleksiak of Canada took the silver in 56.46, edging out defending Olympic champion Dana Vollmer. The American, who had her first child 17 months ago, settled for the bronze in 56.63.Shell take it.I touched the wall and thought, `Please just let it be a medal, Vollmer said.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
