ST. LOUIS AP - Coach Steve Spagnuolo was impressed with the St. Louis Rams in their preseason DeMarcus Ware Jersey Blue opener, especially with the fact that they committed only two penalties.Spagnuolo joked on Sunday, a day after St. Louis beat Indianapolis 33-10, that he wasn't sure if referees weren't interested in dragging the game out.The Rams and Colts played a penalty-free first half. The Rams finished with 14 penalty yards and the Colts had only one call for 5 yards."Very encouraged by that," Spagnuolo said on a conference call. "I hope it continues. I hope it doesn't mean the officials were trying to get home early."Avoiding mistakes has been an area of emphasis during training camp, and Spagnuolo said that's the case with every coach. But he couldn't have anticipated such a clean start given mistakes made in practice."We've had our share of false starts," Spagnuolo said. "When you have Premier Aaron Smith Jersey Black penalties Authentic Dez Bryant Jersey you're just beating yourselves. The balance is being aggressive and yet disciplined, and it was encouraging to see that it didn't hurt us."The Rams didn't allow a sack and capitalized on two early interceptions against Colts backup quarterbacks for 10 points and later forced a third Authentic DeMarcus Ware Jersey turnover.The offense scored on six of the first seven possessions, was Authentic DeMarcus Ware Jersey White 8 for 17 on third down and totaled 169 yards rushing without Steven Jackson.Josh Authentic DeMarcus Ware Jersey Blue Brown Replica Aaron Smith Jersey Black put the Rams up 23-3 at the half with a 60-yard field goal that would have been a franchise record if it happened in the DeMarcus Ware Jersey Authentic regular season."It's the preseason, that's what makes you want to do that," Brown said. "I mean, we're indoors, and we had the opportunity. I hit a lot this week over 60."If only it counted, you know."St. Louis had the edge in time of possession, holding the ball for 36 minutes and 17 seconds, and was 3 for 5 scoring touchdowns inside Customized Steelers Jersey the 20. The Colts were held to 2 for 10 on third down.Spagnuolo tempered his enthusiasm, given Indianapolis was without quarterback Peyton Manning and top pass rusher Dwight Freeney, and other stars played sparingly if at all."We're realistic," Spagnuolo said. "A bunch of their guys didn't play, so it was a different competition and we've got a long way to go. We'll put it to bed and go back to work just like it's training camp."Wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker groin could be doubtful for Saturday's game against the Tennessee Titans, but safety Quintin Mikell elbow bounced back quickly from an injury that sidelined him early, and did not need treatment on Sunday.Several players are expected back from injuries this week, including DeMarcus Ware Authentic Jersey middle linebacker NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey James Laurinaitis pectoral, cornerback Ron Bartell thigh, defensive end James Hall hip, tight end Mike Hoomanawanui and defensive end Eugene Sims concussions and rookie wide receiver Greg Salas hamstring. Spagnuolo Premier Aaron Smith Jersey White does not anticipate wide receiver Donnie Avery, coming off knee surgery, will be ready this week.Injuries at wide receiver have made it tough for the Rams to make a solid assessment among a large group of contenders. Danny Amendola, Sims-Walker and Brandon Premier DeMarcus Ware Jersey Gibson are likely set and the team is high on rookies Austin Pettis and Salas.Avery has been a deep threat when healthy, but missed all last season following knee surgery and has missed a lot of practice time. Danario Alexander had several big games as a deep option last year while also battling injuries.Spagnuolo said Avery was making progress but still had pain."We'd like them all to be Personalized Steelers Jersey healthy," Spagnuolo said. "Certainly, the only way to evaluate them is to have them out there. Now, when that does happen guys have got to take advantage, and some guys are doing it."Cornerback Tae Evans got playing time after being signed earlier in the day to shore up an injury-riddled position."You talk about Authentic Aaron Smith Jersey White getting thrown in the fire," Spagnuolo said. "That's a pretty impressive game, and a willing guy. We're a little banged-up there."                            Copyright 2011 by STATS LLC and The Associated Press.

 ARLINGTON, Texas  Tim Tebow showed off his fancy moves Troy Polamalu Jersey Women on a wild play       that didn't even count.              Tebow's failed Authentic Aaron Smith Jersey scramble just before halftime stood as the play of the       game, until Stephen McGee  another option quarterback in college        ran around to throw a 13-yard touchdown pass and a two-point conversion       with 15 seconds left, giving the Dallas Cowboys a 24-23 victory over the       Denver Broncos in a preseason opener Thursday night.              Tebow led the Broncos to two field goals in four drives.              His first scoring series started at Denver's 10 and included a 43-yard       pass perfectly lofted into double coverage. The other drive, however,       started 7 yards from the end zone and wound up moving backward.              That series began with Tebow running it into the end zone on first down,       but a holding penalty wiped it out, shoving the Broncos back to the 17.       On third down, Tebow ran almost to the left sideline, back to the middle       of the Authentic Troy Polamalu Jersey Black field, then tossed the ball Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey Shop Online to a waiting receiver for a short       gain. However, Tebow crossed the line of scrimmage before ever cutting       back, a lineman illegally went up the field to block and another       Steelers Jersey teammate clobbered one of the Cowboys in the back. Dallas declined them       all, forcing the Broncos to kick a field goal. When Tebow went Premier Aaron Smith Jersey to the       sideline, new Denver coach John Fox spoke to him gently, patting him on       the helmet at the end of the chat.              "For a young quarterback, he did very well," Fox said.              Tebow's numbers were good. He completed 6 Troy Polamalu Authentic Jersey of 7 passes for 91 yards. He       also ran twice for 15 yards. But it remains to be seen how much his       overall performance Steelers Troy Polamalu Jersey helped in his bid to unseat veteran Kyle Orton.  Full       Story                Cardinals 24, Raiders 18               OAKLAND, Calif.  Kevin Kolb found new favorite target Larry Fitzgerald       twice in his Arizona debut but was unable to get his offense on the       scoreboard in two drives before the Cardinals rallied to beat the       Oakland Raiders.              Arizona's other three quarterbacks all threw touchdown passes, including       a 28-yarder from Max Hall to Isaiah Williams with 39 seconds left for       the win.              Raiders third-stringer Trent Edwards threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to       rookie David Ausberry, and Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals,       including Aaron Smith Jersey Authentic a go-ahead 57-yarder with 2:32 to play, but the Raiders lost       in Hue Jackson's head coaching debut.              After a year of poor quarterback play following Kurt Warner's       retirement, Arizona made the big move to acquire Kolb from Philadelphia       after the lockout ended last month. The Cardinals sent cornerback       Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick to the Eagles       Troy Polamalu Jersey Free Shipping and gave Kolb a five-year, 63 million contract, with 21 million       guaranteed.               Patriots 47, Jaguars 12               FOXBOROUGH, Mass.  Blaine Gabbert had an inconsistent NFL debut and       his Jacksonville Jaguars teammates didn't do Authentic Troy Polamalu Jersey any better as the New       England Patriots won 47-12.              Playing against mostly backups as top players for both teams sat out the       game, the Jaguars scored three field goals on Gabbert's six possessions.       The 10th pick of the draft from Missouri completed 9 of 16 passes for 85       yards. He played the entire first half with starting quarterback David       Garrard unavailable with a back injury.              Another rookie quarterback, third-rounder Ryan Mallett of the Patriots,       did better.              The former Arkansas standout played Aaron Smith Authentic Jersey the whole second half and drove the       Patriots to touchdowns on his first four series, helping to turn a 19-9       halftime lead into a 35-point rout.               Seahawks 24, Chargers 17               SAN DIEGO  The Seattle Seahawks can only hope Tarvaris Jackson someday       runs their offense as smoothly as Philip Rivers controls the San Diego       Chargers.              Rivers went 5 for 6 while Custom 49ers Jersey leading an 89-yard scoring in his only series       for the Chargers, but Thomas Clayton rushed for a tiebreaking 25-yard       touchdown with 3:05 left in the Seahawks' victory over San Diego.              Cornell graduate Bryan Walters returned a kickoff 103 yards for a       touchdown late in the third quarter for the Chargers, while Mike Tolbert       caught an 8-yard scoring pass to cap the only drive by Rivers, who was       nearly flawless in his first game back after starting last season's Pro       Authentic Aaron Smith Jersey Black Bowl.              Jackson passed for Rashard Mendenhall Jersey Women 13 yards over two moderately successful series in his       debut as Matt Hasselbeck's replacement with the Seahawks, who trailed       10-0 at halftime. The longtime Vikings backup also was sacked twice, and       he was long gone by the time undrafted rookie Josh Portis led two late       scoring drives capped by Clayton's decisive romp through the San Diego       defense.                                  Copyright 2011 by STATS LLC and The Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. AP - The Kansas City Chiefs have barely worked out in pads. They haven't scrimmaged at all during training camp. Their full-speed, 11-on-11 contact portion of practice Wednesday night lasted all of six plays, and the starters took off their shoulder pads before it even began.Ready or not - and there's a likelihood of not - preseason football has arrived.The Chiefs open their four-game exhibition schedule against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night at Arrowhead Mike Wallace Jersey White Stadium, after just two weeks of a most unusual camp, NFL San Francisco 49ers Jersey Shop and nobody is quite sure what to expect.Turnovers and penalties? There's a Mike Wallace Jersey Black good chance. Missed assignments and mixed up personnel groups? A pretty good assumption. An important opportunity for first-year players to make an impact after a condensed training camp?Chiefs coach Todd Haley and Buccaneers counterpart Raheem Morris sure hope so."Our No. 1 goal always is to be ready for the opening of the season," Haley said. "These preseason games are part of the process, from the evaluation to getting the players ready to all those things."The Chiefs have not said how long their starters will play, though quarterback Matt Cassel plans to start the game. The amount of time they spend on the field will probably depend on how successful they are during their first series; a nice, long touchdown drive and one could be enough.Offensive coordinator Bill Muir said Official San Francisco 49ers Jersey he's more concerned about the rookies that are trying to make the team than the veterans who are already assured of their roster spot. Muir figures that starters will play more later in training camp, a departure from the typical preseason schedule, and that the opening game represents the best opportunity for draft picks and first-year free agents to make a statement."Obviously we want to move the ball and score points," Muir said, "but the thing we've been emphasizing is improving our tempo and being physical and being Authentic Mike Wallace Jersey Black a smart team. But having said that, this is a huge opportunity for a lot of young players to show whether they can contribute or not."So expect to see plenty of fifth-round draft pick Ricky Stanzi and journeyman Tyler Palko, the Chiefs' two backup quarterbacks. Keep an eye out for Jerheme Urban, Terrance Copper Mike Wallace Authentic Jersey and the rest of the wide receivers trying to make the team.Look for young defensive linemen such as Jerrell Powe and Allen Bailey, who hope to eventually move into the starting lineup and give Kansas City the stout front that was missing a year ago.One question was answered after practice Wednesday, when quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn let slip who has assumed the play-calling duties. It had been unclear throughout camp who will be in the press box after Charlie Weis departed for Florida, with many assuming that Haley would take over the role.Instead, Muir will call the plays with input from Zorn and Haley."He'll have the game plan in front of him. I'm sure he'll take some suggestions, but he's had a good feel this training camp and he's been mixing it up and he's an expert in the run game and he has a good feel of the passing game," Zorn said. "This game plan is going to be a cut-down game plan, and we're going to have a certain group of plays that we're going to want to implement and execute."Yes, prepare for plenty of scripted plays Reebok Mike Wallace Jersey and vanilla Authentic Rashard Mendenhall Jersey Black offense, too.Morris expects to give the Tampa Bay starters between 15 and 20 plays, which he thinks will be a little more than a quarter. But he stressed that a number Rashard Mendenhall Authentic Jersey of factors could change that plan, and the starting offensive line will be in the game as long as third-year quarterback Josh Freeman is under center.The former Kansas State quarterback will be playing in Arrowhead Stadium for the first time, even though he was born in Kansas City and starred at nearby Grandview Mo. High School.Freeman said it'll be "exciting" Authentic Rashard Mendenhall Jersey to play in the stadium where he attended games as a kid, and acknowledged that he rooted for the Chiefs growing up. He also recalled how Arrowhead always "rocks" for Chiefs games, but doesn't believe the atmosphere will Premier Rashard Mendenhall Jersey be quite so carnival-like for a preseason game."It'll be fun," he said. "I'm looking forward to it. I've got a lot of family and friends who'll be there."Morris knows what to expect from Freeman, who started all Steelers Mike Wallace Jersey 16 games during a breakout season a year ago, throwing for 3,451 yards and 25 touchdowns with only six interceptions.But just like Haley, Morris has no idea what to expect from the Buccaneers' group of rookies."It'll be a little bit of a scenario where we Rashard Mendenhall Jersey Authentic watch the young guys, who I have no idea of what they're going to do in pads, except what I watched on college tape," he said. "To see what they can do under the lights and in the pros, that's the fun part of our jobs. To watch those guys get better from Week 1 to Week 2 is also a challenge, so that's a lot of fun for me as well."                            NFL Mike Wallace Jersey Copyright 2011 by STATS LLC and The Customized 49ers Jersey Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA AP - Michael Vick spent most of his night chatting and joking on the sideline - safe from harm.Vick threw for 74 yards and a touchdown pass in his only series and the new-look Philadelphia Eagles beat the Baltimore Ravens 13-6 Thursday night in their preseason opener."Just to get back out for a preseason game after not having the OTAs and the minicamps and the offseason strength and conditioning programs, it was good to get back and to get out there to have an opportunity to just play against another defense," Vick said.Nnamdi Asomugha, Vince Young and several other big-name acquisitions made their debuts for the Eagles, who've signed a slew of free agents with Official Maurkice Pouncey Jersey impressive resumes in the past two weeks.Joe Flacco played two series and led Authentic Mewelde Moore Jersey White the Ravens to a field goal on Customized New England Patriots Jersey the opening possession. He completed 3 of 6 Personalized Patriots Jersey passes for 60 yards. Ricky Williams, who signed with Baltimore on Monday, was inactive."We Authentic Mewelde Moore Jersey Black have a different team this year, guys have to take new roles, and from a confidence Mewelde Moore Authentic Jersey standpoint I have to go out there and know Premier Mewelde Moore Jersey White what we're doing and I have to go about doing that more this year," Flacco said.Vick, the runner-up to Tom Brady for NFL MVP, completed 4 of 6 passes, including a 3-yard TD toss to Brent Celek. He drove the Eagles down the field against Ray Lewis and Baltimore's vaunted defense.Vick threw a 20-yard pass to Jason Avant on his first play. He later connected with Riley Cooper on a 42-yard pass over Ed Reed to the Ravens 2. An almost identical pass to Cooper in the final minute of last year's wild-card playoff game against Green Bay was intercepted by Tramon Williams in the end zone to seal the Packers' 21-16 win.Two plays later, Vick hit Celek to give Philadelphia a 7-3 lead. Cooper and Avant started in place of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Jackson just joined San Francisco 49ers Jersey the Eagles after a 12-day holdout and Maclin remains sidelined by an undisclosed illness.Tyrod Taylor, a rookie from Virginia Tech, took over for Flacco. He drove the Ravens to the Eagles 5 in the final minute before throwing an incompletion on fourth-and-8 from the 10.Taylor led the Ravens to the Eagles 8 late in the third quarter before throwing an interception to Jarrad Page. He finished 19 of 28 for 179 yards and two picks."I Premier Mewelde Moore Jersey Black thought Tyrod Authentic Mewelde Moore Jersey did some great things," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He's going to learn more from this game than any game his whole career. He was electric at times, that's exciting."The defending NFC East champion Eagles have been one Reebok Maurkice Pouncey Jersey of the most aggressive teams since the lockout ended. They've signed 14 free agents, including six players who've been to Pro Bowls.Asomugha, the top free agent on the market, played two series as part of a star-studded secondary that includes newcomer Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and veteran Asante Samuel. All three cornerbacks were on the field for the first play, with Samuel lined up in a safety spot.The Eagles also have a new defensive coordinator who used to coach on the other side of the ball. Juan Castillo switched over from the offensive line to replace Sean McDermott."It's NFL Maurkice Pouncey Jersey not about me, Authentic Maurkice Pouncey Jersey White it's about us building a championship-caliber defense," Castillo said. "Coach Andy Reid wanted us to have a fast defense, a fundamentally sound defense and you saw some of that."The Ravens took the opening kickoff and drove to the Eagles 29 before stalling. Billy Cundiff kicked a 53-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.Young replaced Vick in the first quarter. He was 3 of 5 for 45 yards. Young, who went to two Pro Bowls in five seasons in Tennessee, signed a one-year deal to be Vick's backup after the Eagles traded Kevin Kolb to Arizona.A 93-yard fumble return for a score by Baltimore's Lardarius Webb was overturned after replays showed Eagles quarterback Mike Kafka's hand was going forward when he lost the ball.Notes: Former Eagles kicker David Akers, a five-time Pro Bowl pick in 12 years in Philadelphia, Authentic Maurkice Pouncey Jersey Black thanked fans on a large billboard on I-95 near the stadium. Akers signed with the San Francisco 49ers. ... Rookie kicker Alex Henery, a fourth-round pick who replaced Akers, made field goals of 35 and 24 yards. ...

Certainly among the most high-profile of the original unrestricted free Reebok Football Patriots Jersey agents still available, Lawrence Timmons Jersey Authentic not counting the veteran players released over the past two weeks, free safety Darren Sharper definitely New England Patriots Jersey Authentic wants to play a 15th season in 2011, and has had a few nibbles. In fact, The Sports Xchange has learned that Sharper received an inquiry from a fairly prominent team as Authentic Lawrence Timmons Jersey recently as Wednesday, and there were serious conversations with officials from Replica Lawrence Timmons Jersey Black the club. But Sharper, who will be 36 in November, is holding out hope that a viable Super Bowl contender will still call. Despite the "name status" of the team involved this week with Sharper, he is uncertain of its playoff readiness.

 The after-effects of Thursday???s signing of unrestricted free-agent linebacker Ben Leber were felt Friday morning when the Rams informed linebacker David Vobora he would be placed on waivers Friday.The Rams didn???t need the roster spot for Leber after they waived wide receiver Jared Jenkins Thursday. However, salary-cap space was another matter. Leber signed a one-year contract for 1.25 million, almost the identical figure of Vobora, who had signed his restricted free-agent tender of 1.2 million.The team did not see if Vobora would accept a pay cut to the minimum 600,000 salary for players with three accrued seasons.Appearing on the Zach and the Coach Show on 101 ESPN, Vobora said, ???Spags coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney handled it very well. I appreciate that and that they have always been class to me. They just called me up this morning and said they wanted me to get an opportunity now rather than when the 53 cut comes Sept. 3.???They are going in a different direction as you can see. That linebacker room is getting more and full by the day.???Leber becomes the 12th unrestricted free agent the Rams have signed and the third linebacker. He joins Brady Poppinga and Zac Diles, who also signed one-year contracts with the Rams, in that linebackers room. Leber started 10 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season, and has experience on both the strong and weak sides.Other linebackers competing for jobs are Na???il Diggs, who started 12 games on the strong side last season before suffering a torn pectoral muscle; Chris Chamberlain, Bryan Kehl, Josh Hull, seventh-round pick Jabara Williams and undrafted free agent Pete Fleps. Chamberlain started six games on the weak side last Authentic DeMarco Murray Jersey season, while Kehl started one on that side.Hull suffered a torn ACL in the season opener and missed the remainder of the season, but has been working with the first unit at middle linebacker the last two days with James Laurinaitis out with a strained pectoral muscle.Vobora had returned to Tyron Smith Jersey 29 practice Thursday after missing time because of a concussion suffered at the end of last week. That didn???t help his situation in addition to not being able to practice Authentic Asante Samuel Jersey for the first five days of training camp before the collective bargaining agreement was ratified last Premier Tyron Smith Jersey Blue Aug. 4.Vobora said he hopes to be with a new team quickly and said there could be interest from other NFC West teams.He said, ???I???m excited about the change, excited to see where it takes me. Asante Samuel Jersey Green I truly believe my best football is ahead of me. I???m excited to get another opportunity and make the most of it just like I did here.???He started four games on the strong side last season and one on the weak side. He will have to wait until at least Monday to see where his next destination will be. He will officially go on waivers Tyron Smith Jersey Blue at 3 p.m. Central time today, but the claiming period won???t expire until Monday. It is unlikely that another team would Personalized Oakland Raiders Jersey claim his 1.2 million contract.As for Leber, Asante Samuel Authentic Jersey it took two days since the initial reports circulated Tuesday, but Rams sources confirmed Thursday that he had signed. The 1.25 million contract had been agreed to Tuesday and is reportedly less than what he had been offered in a visit to Seattle Monday.Sources close to Leber said he felt ???low-balled??? by the Seattle offer because it was expected they would offer more to prevent him from signing with the Rams.Leber signed the contract Thursday afternoon and then returned home to get his personal belongings. He is expected back today, but won???t play Saturday night against Indianapolis.Leber is the ninth of the Rams??? 12 free agents to sign a one-year deal. In this compacted period of free agency, an unusually large number of Cowboys Tyron Smith Jersey players have signed one-year contracts, knowing they can become free agents again next March.In addition, of the 440 players that became unrestricted free agents 18 days ago, 305 have signed contracts, including 160 that have re-signed.The new Personalized Raiders Jersey arrivals have been noticed by players, including quarterback Sam Bradford.???I think it is nice to see our front office make moves like that,??? Bradford said. ???More than anything, when they bring guys in who are strong players it just creates competition at those Authentic Tyron Smith Jersey Blue positions. I think competition is what makes everyone better. I think you???ve seen it or at least I???ve seen it in our camp. The positions that they have brought in extra Customized Oakland Raiders Jersey guys and where there are more guys in camp right now than there are going to be when the season gets here. Those guys are competing. They realize every day that they are fighting for their job.???Asked about who gives him competition, Bradford smiled and said, ???Everyone in that room pushes me. I want to be Tyron Smith Authentic Jersey better. I learn from my mistakes, I learn from everyone else what they do right and what they do wrong. Just because I???m the No.1 guy doesn???t mean I don???t get pushed. I think all three guys in the quarterback room push me. Even coach Josh McDaniels, I feel like he???s done a great job keeping me motivated and keeping me striving to get better.???Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.
