TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Mark Messier Jersey . -- Alabamas passing game is no longer primarily the Calvin Ridley show.ArDarius Stewart has muscled his way into a co-starring role for the top-ranked Crimson Tide with a dogged running style after the catch and a knack for the deep ball.Both delivered big plays and catches last season but it was Ridley who emerged as one of college footballs bigger receiving stars even as a freshman. Its been a role held by eventual top-10 draft picks Julio Jones and Amari Cooper during Nick Sabans decade in Tuscaloosa, but none have had a fellow receiver quite like Stewart.I think what make ArDarius so good is that he not only catches the ball -- he has to catch it and make great plays -- but he blocks every down, Tide tight end O.J. Howard said. He plays hard every play. Hes one of the best blocking receivers you can see in the nation. Every time the ball is in somebody elses hands, he wants to see them score just as bad as he wants to score. I think that makes him really good.Both have been really good this season heading into Saturdays game at No. 19 Mississippi.The 6-foot-1, 204-pound Stewart leads the SEC in receiving yards with nine catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns. Hes averaging 22.6 yards per reception.Ridley has recovered from a slow start after topping even the freshman production of Jones and Cooper, and thus every other Tide receiver fresh from high school. He has 11 catches for 138 yards, but he calls Stewart the leader of Alabamas receiving group, the guy keeping the other players motivated in games and practices.Hes just one of those guys you can go to, talk to, if you dont know what youre doing and stuff like that, Ridley said. It just pumps everybody up.He tells Stewart that the junior is a running back who can catch. Stewart, who played on both sides of the ball in high school, said he plays with the mentality that he wants the defender to feel a hit more than he does.Thats how I was raised, Stewart said. You have to hit them before they hit you. If Im going to be hurting, when Im hurting I want them to be hurting more than me.The presence of the dual receiving threats has been a big help for young quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Blake Barnett, each of whom have found one or both downfield.Stewart has catches of 71 and 39 yards from Hurts plus a 52-yarder from Barnett. Ridley has gains of 51 and 28 yards, both on Hurts passes. The result has been a passing attack that produced 351 yards against Western Kentucky and more big plays against USC.Stewarts production last season often got overlooked because Ridley was setting school freshman marks with 89 catches for 1,045 yards. It was the second most catches in FBS history by a true freshman behind Texas Techs Michael Crabtree, who caught 134 passes in 2007.Then there was Stewart. His 63 catches for 700 yards were easily the most by Alabamas No. 2 receiver during coach Nick Sabans nine seasons. No other No. 2 target has had more than 40 catches or 568 yards.Those totals include a 38-yard catch on third-and-long to help set up a game-tying field goal in the fourth quarter of the national championship game against Clemson in January.But hes already topped his previous career high for yards in each of the Tides first two games.Ridley, meanwhile, rebounded from a two-catch, 9-yard game against USC to catch nine balls for 129 yards against Western Kentucky.Now, theyll take the Ridley & Stewart show on the road.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Connor McDavid Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began. Patrick Maroon Jersey . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. http://www.hockeyoilers.com/authentic-drake-caggiula-oilers-jersey/ . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. ASHBURN, Va. -- Trent Williams got several of his fellow Washington Redskins offensive linemen to fly to Texas during the offseason. His pitch was pretty good.Williams wants to harken back to the days of the Redskins famous Hogs -- the offensive linemen of the 1980s and early 1990s who paved the way to three Super Bowls. Williams has branded the 2016 Washington line as Hogs 2.0, complete with shirts, hats and the mentality that the group will follow the footsteps of Russ Grimm and Joe Jacoby.The four-time Pro Bowl left tackle hosted a three-day workout at a training facility in Houston attended by starters Morgan Moses, Spencer Long and 10 other linemen. Williams debated the Hogs 2.0 name because he didnt want to add extra pressure, but the goal of the workout was to set a goal for a work ethic.Not putting the expectation that we plan on being the Hogs, but were just showing that respect that we want to play like them and we admire them and we know thats the standard, Williams said during the teams training camp in Richmond, Virginia. I didnt want to just bring a bunch of guys together to come and hang out and have beers or whatnot. I told them before they came we were going to work pretty hard. You cant get in shape in three days, but we were going to put it to the test, see where everybody was, and we were going to (enhance) fellowship at night over dinner.Offensive line coach Bill Callahan sees the benefit as twofold: not only did Williams put younger, less experienced linemen through drills and help them with fundamentals, but the group got to bond. For all the extra work Callahan puts linemen through after practices, theres already the buy-in for voluntarily going to Williams event, and the memories from going through it.Williams said that made the players closer as a group.We put the hard work in the bank, the 28-year-old offensive line leader said. We did it together. We can go in the locker room and sit and talk about how hard it was to get through it.The workouts took place at O Athletik, a new facility Williams owns along with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and others. According to the Houston Chronicle, O Athletik includes a boxing gym, sand pit, indoor artificial turf, a steep man-made hill and underwater treadmills. Jesse Puljujarvi Jersey. The workouts were really challenging and that helps when you have to rely on each other to push each other through that kind of stuff as an offensive line, because thats what we do in games, said Long, whos competing with Shawn Lauvao to start at left guard.Tight end Niles Paul didnt attend this specific workout but said he threw up after Williams put him through the rigors before. He has noticed a marked improvement in the offensive line over the years, with Williams as the guiding force.Williams, entering his seventh NFL season, sees strides in his teammates even since last year. He missed the first two preseason games with a sore right knee and liked what he saw from backup Ty Nsehke.He definitely got a lot better over the offseason, Williams said Monday. I think if you watch him closely you can see the improvements. Its glaring. It (isnt) anything you would have to search hard for. Thats just a good credit to Ty and the coaching and how hes received the coaching.And its a credit to Williams, who has taken a leadership role for the Redskins as a whole, not just on the offensive line. Kirk Cousins carries some of that now as the starting quarterback, but Williams has the seniority and the long-term track record as an elite performer.Trents one of the guys in the locker room that people gravitate to, Paul said. Hes probably the most respected guy in the locker room. His leadership is important out here, and to have him step up and say, `Hogs 2.0, thats a big thing, thats a big deal and he means that.Game notes Coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday he has a total expectation rookie WR Josh Doctson will be ready for Week 1 against the Steelers. Doctson still hasnt practiced with the team because of an Achilles tendon injury. ... Gruden said WR Jamison Crowder hurt his knee in the second preseason game against the Jets and doesnt know if hell be ready to play Friday against Buffalo.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys NFL China Cheap Jerseys 2019 NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Cheap Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
