Allegri considers giving Ronaldinho a break
THE HAGUE (AFP) - AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri could rest Brazilian star Ronaldinho for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Ajax in Amsterdam.
Milan have started the group well with a 2-0 victory over Auxerre in nfl jerseys
their opener while Ajax lost by the same score away to Real Madrid.
"I'm thinking about changing something for (Tuesday's) game," said Allegri.
"Up until now, Ronaldinho has played a lot and if he doesn't play I could also change the system.
"I'm a big fan of Ajax's system of play, it's a pleasure to watch this team playing now like they did in the past during which they made a difference and changed the mentality of European football.
"Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be my first away match in the Champions League and it's against a big team so I'll be a little emotional, at the beginning at least."
One of the changes Allegri could make would be to bring Dutch veteran Clarence Seedorf into the team to play against his former employers.
That would mean dropping one of the forwards and playing the 34-year-old between attack and midfield.
Seedorf believes that his team is starting to gel despite a difficult beginning Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
to the season which saw them win only two of their first five league games.
"We have many new players but we're trying to build something important, the aim is to win," he said.
"The Champions League is a tournament for great teams and both ourselves and Ajax are amongst those.
"We'll both be trying to win tomorrow. I saw Ajax's game in Madrid, they lost but watch out because they're better than what they showed in that match in which, amongst others, they were missing (Luis) Suarez.
"We're not afraid of Ajax but we respect them."
Ajax coach Martin Jol believes his team will face the best striker in the world - Zlatan Ibrahimovic - but wants his team to avoid being star-struck, as he said they were against Real.
"In Madrid we were enjoying the experience of it all too much before the match, when it should be after the match, and we forgot to play football because of that," he said.
"The lesson we learned is that you play against a lot of quality. AC Milan also have that quality.
"With players like Ronaldinho, Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), Robinho and Pato (who is injured and will miss thre game) you have to find a solution for that in defence.
"But up front, where we play at least five attacking players, we will also have to play the way we normally do at home.
"They usually play 4-3-3. Zlatan is the best striker in the world in my oMinnesota Vikings jersey
pinion, he has shown that already in almost every league.
"Robinho is unpredictable and can do something phenomenal and when it's Ronaldinho's day…
"So I think they are no weaker then Real Madrid. They have a new coach, their results are usually good, and when those are good, the goals often will follow. I think that Milan, potentially, are one of the best teams in Europe."

AP erupts as Vikings dominate Lions
That's exactly where Adrian Peterson likes it.
With Favre again struggling to move the ball through the air, Peterson rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Vikings to a 24-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Peterson bounced off cheap nfl jerseys
Lions tacklers all day and ripped off an 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that put the game out of reach, delivering the Vikings (1-2) their first victory of a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations.
''That's really just the mentality that I have,'' Peterson said. ''When things aren't really going well, I want to get the guys going up front and establish the run game. We were pretty productive.''
After showing plenty of feistiness in losses to Chicago and Philadelphia, the Lions (0-3) lost their 22nd straight road game — the third longest streak in NFL history - and 13th in a row at the Metrodome.
Detroit's dynamic rookie Jahvid Best was held to seven carries for 26 yards and left the game in the third quarter with a right big toe injury. Coach Jim Schwartz said Best, who racked up 232 total yards last week, aggravated a Week 1 injury.
Subbing for the injured Matthew Stafford, Shaun Hill was 29 of 43 for 237 yards and a TD, but threw two interceptions in the end zone as the Lions tried to rally late.
''Shaun battled his way through it, but when it's one-dimensional you're going to get sacks and you're going to get interceptions because you don't have a run game,'' Schwartz said.
Favre was 23 of 34 for 201 yards with one touchdown and two more interceptions - one that was tipped - on another shaky afternoon for the Vikings passing game.
So the Vikings turned to the man who carried the offense during his first two seasons in the league. Call it Vikings, B.F. — Before Favre.
''There was definitely a sense of urgency,'' Peterson said. ''Starting 0-2 was not the plan. Going into the bye week, guys had the mentality that it was a home game and we've got to come out and get this win.''
Peterson ran over, around and through the Lions defense in his biggest day since rushing for 180 yards in the season opener last year.
''Especially right now with how we're struggling in the passing game, that sure was nice Minnesota Vikings jersey
to see. ... That takes a lot of pressure off of me and the passing game,'' Favre said.
Peterson rushed for nearly 1,400 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, but some followers called it a ''down year'' for a player who has set the bar so high for himself. His longest run of the year was a 64-yarder in the opener, but the rest of his season lacked that signature Peterson flair.
It returned in a hurry in the third quarter when Peterson burst through a tiny crack, stiff-armed safety C.C. Brown and cut to the right before turning on the jets for the longest run of his career to give Minnesota a 24-10 lead.
''I was able to press it, cut back and bounce it outside,'' Peterson said. ''And it was off to the races.''
The Lions came into the game tied for the NFL lead in sacks and determined to show everyone that they were no longer the NFC North doormats they have been for most of this decade.
Corey Williams read a screen play beautifully, slicing through a hole to undercut running back Toby Gerhart and intercept Favre's pass. He rumbled 27 yards to the Vikings 12, setting up Hill's TD pass to Tony Scheffler for a 7-0 lead.
The Lions only sacked Favre once, but they battered the 40-year-old throughout the game and had him grabbing his right shoulder in pain in the second quarter. But penalties nullified two turnovers by Favre - one a fumble on a sack and the other an interception - and led to 10 Minnesota points.
A fumble by Lions punt returner Stefan Logan set up the Vikings' first touchdown, a play-action pass from Favre to Percy Harvin, who made an incredible diving catch in the end zone.
''We need to develop more of an instinct to finish. We started off 7-0 and then we turned the ball over on a punt and let them right back in the game,'' Schwartz said. ''That's stuff that we need to do a better job of. When we get them down early, we need to put the foot to the floor and stretch out the lead rather than giving it back to them.''
Jason Hanson missed a 44-yard field goal and the Vikings took the lead for good with a 10-play Indianapolis Colts jersey
drive that Peterson finished with a punishing 6-yard run. He flattened defensive back Jonathan Wade at the end of the run for a 14-7 lead.
''He never ceases to amaze you,'' coach Brad Childress said.

3-Point Plan Short Memory Critical For Buehler
IRVING, Texas - In examining what the Cowboys must improve to climb out of a 0-2 hole, entire units are typically generalized. The offense must score more than one offensive touchdown per game, or the defense must create turnovers, or the special team’s coverage must limit opponents' starting field position.
Though he has a snapper and a holder, David Buehler essentially stands alone in the court of nfl throwback jerseys
public opinion. NFL kickers toil in a harsh, lonely spotlight when the ball lands outside the uprights.
He is now 2-for-4 in his first two NFL games as a full-time place-kicker, missing a critical field goal attempt in each of the Cowboys' two losses. In both situations - a 34-yarder against the Washington Redskins, and a 44-yarder against the Chicago Bears - the kick would've tied the game.
Sunday at Houston, Buehler gets another chance to prove he can stabilize a position of confounding inconsistency over the past several seasons. Mores than ever, he'll have to utilize kicking consultant Chris Bonior’s "one-for-one" approach that helped him earn the job at the end of preseason:
Good or bad, forget the last kick.
"He has always been real good about coming back for the next one," said Bonior, who has helped transform Buehler from a rookie kickoff specialist and NFL touchback leader (29) to a more polished field goal kicker this off-season. "He's done that in practice throughout the off-season and training camp, whether it is a poor kick or whatever, he's always done a good job of coming back. You just don't want to have to do that every game."
Buehler did make a 48-yarder later in the fourth quarter last Sunday, three critical points that might have saved a kicking search this week. He was virtually perfect in five weeks of daily public training camp practices except for one noticeably erratic day, when he missed three of seven attempts Aug. 19 in Oxnard, Calif.
"I had an off day," Buehler said then. "Luckily I have a game to redeem myself."
He didn't have an attempt in either of the next two preseason games, but finally got four tries in the finale against the Miami Dolphins. He made all four, including the game-winner from 31 yards.
That mental makeup, owner Jerry Jones says, along with his powerful leg, tell him instinctively to stay patient with the 23-year-old - even as the team stares down the muzzle of a 0-3 start.
"He's hitting the ball well, he's got a strong leg," Jones said Tuesday on his weekly San Diego Chargers jersey
radio show. "We know what the alternatives are. All of those don't add up to making any type of change there. We've got a chance to have what we think is a really fine kicker and we wanted to see this thing through."
In analyzing Buehler's two misses, Bonior said he appeared to hurry his delivery on the 34-yarder against Washington. Sunday, on the 44-yarder that sailed wide left, Bonior said Buehler "just got around on it too much, didn't strike it well."
"That stuff you always work on," he said. "You always work on ball strike, you always work on tempo, and those things are very important."
Phillips said a change isn't feasible in part because the top free-agent kickers (perhaps he meant Kris Brown, Matt Stover) aren't reliable from 40 yards and beyond. Buehler's ability to drive long distances is an asset; Bonior has worked on shaping his accuracy, long and short.
The Cowboys can't afford a repeat of past seasons. In 2006, high-priced Mike Vanderjagt - then the most accurate kicker of all time - didn't last past Thanksgiving. Last year, Nick Folk was released in December after missing seven of his previous 11 kicks, seemingly never fully recovered from off-season hip surgery. His league-high 10 misses contributed heavily to the Cowboys' 24th overall ranking in red zone efficiency.
The games are usually too close. Last year, eight of the Cowboys' 16 games were decided by a touchdown or less.
The Cowboys gave Folk every chance until they simply couldn't rely on him any longer. Clearly, they feel it's too early to give up on Buehler.
"I look at him this last game kind of like our team," Phillips said. "He was two out of Chicago Bears jersey
three (Sunday), and that's about where we were. Two out of three plays we were real good, but that third play …
"The percentages over 40 yards are not going to be great. I'd like for him to make them all. I've been through it with kickers before, and I think once … you got to let them, you got to give them a chance before you say, 'Hey, you can't do it at all.'"

Doc Talk: Week 3 injury report analysis
To learn about the ins-and-outs of hamstring and groin strains and the status of key players affected by these injuries see the video above. Below I give my Jock-to-Doc analysis on the key players who are hurt and how their performances will affected.
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints
Falcons RB Michael Turner (groin strain)
Jock-to-Doc take: Turner left Sunday's blowout win over the football jerseys
Arizona Cardinals with a groin strain. Coach Mike Smith said the move was precautionary and that he could have returned to the game. Given Jason Selling’s performance obviously that was not required. Turner should play and be effective. Going against the Saints' 19th-ranked run defense, I expect him to put up some good numbers this week. The question remains whether this injury will heal completely or become chronic, making Turner a regular on the weekly injury report.
Health Rating: Michael Turner @ 85%
Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots
Patriots RB Fred Taylor (toe) and WR Julian Edelman (foot)
Jock-to-Doc take: Taylor and Edelman have been limited all week in practice. Taylor has a toe injury that occurred in the season opener. These toe injuries generally don't heal completely until the off-season so we can expect to see Taylor on the injury list all year. Taylor ran for only 11 yards on five carries in Week 2 but showed a burst during a 38-yard run that was negated by a penalty.
Edelman missed the final three games of the preseason and the season opener. But in Week 2, he finally got his chance to play and he had one catch for six yards and two punt returns for 26 yards. Not too exciting but with Tom Brady as your quarterback those numbers could grow quickly as the season progresses.
Health Ratings: Fred Taylor @ 90%; Julian Edelman @ 80%
Cincinnati Bengalis at Carolina Panthers
Bengalis WR Terrell Owens (stiff back); Panthers WR Steve Smith (thigh)
Jock-to-Doc take: Owens and Smith were limited in practice this week. Both are expected to play and both should not be hampered significantly by their injuries. While Owens has a partner in Chad Chicano, Smith is the lone stud of the Carolina receiving corps. He absolutely crucial to the success of rookie quarterbacks Jimmy Clausen this week. Without Smith, Clausen will be hard pressed to find open receivers. In addition to a sore thigh, Smith is also suffering from a wrist injury.
Health Rating: Terrell Owens @ 99%; Steve Smith @ 75%
Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens
Browns QB Jake Welcome (sprained ankle); Ravens FB Leroy McClain (shoulder)
Jock-to-Doc take: The Browns are the walking wounded this week with eight starters led by Welcome limited in their preparation. Welcome will almost certainly miss this week's game against Baltimore. The Browns have been intentionally cryptic in describing his ankle injury and the bigger question is Saints jersey
how many more games will the starting quarterback miss.
McClain has been nursing a shoulder injury and was limited Wednesday but returned to full go on Thursday. His fantasy numbers are not spectacular but both Ray Rice and Joe Flacon would have diminished output if McClain is not firing on all cylinders.
Health Rating: Jack Welcome @ 0%; Leroy McClain @ 80%
Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans
Cowboys WR Dees Bryant (ribs); Texans WR Andre Johnson (sprained ankle)
Jock-to-Doc take: Bryant injured his ribs against the Washington Redskins two weeks ago and was in full pads Thursday. Expect him to be full go and unhindered by the nagging injury. Arguably the league's best wide receiver, Johnson has what is being billed as a "mild ankle sprain". He did not practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday. Johnson says he expects to play and this physical specimen would not step on the field if he didn't feel he could perform at his best.
Health Rating: Dees Bryant @ 95%; Andre Johnson @ 80%
Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings
Lions QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder); Vikings WR Percy Hardin (migraines/hip)
Jock-to-Doc take: Stafford continues to recover from a Grade 2 right (throwing) shoulder separation. He said he is feeling much better but has not tried to throw yet. Shaun Hill has been named the starter for the tilt against the Vikings. Brett Fare continues to battle through his ankle pain and has been full participation in practice all week. Fare is far more concerned about the health of his receiving corps than his own. Hardin missed practice Wednesday with another migraine but was back on the field Thursday running routes but his hip injury is a bigger concern. With Sidney Rice sidelined for at least another month after hip surgery, the doomsday scenario for Fare and the Vikings is for Hardin to also miss significant chunks of time because of his continued hip pain.
Health Rating: Matthew Stafford @ 20%; Percy Hardin @ 75%
Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos
Colts RB Joseph Addax (knee); Broncos CB Champ Bailey (foot)
Jock-to-Doc take: You can learn more about Colts wide receiver Pierre Garcon by viewing my video above. Addax missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury and was limited on Thursday but did suit up. It is a good sign to see him on the practice field and we can expect to see him play this weekend. The questions are will he be effective and can he last the entire game? Bailey was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. With Peyton Manning coming to town, the thought of facing the Colts' potent passing attack without their best cover man has to have everyone in Denver concerned. Bailey looks to be a game-time decision.
Health Rating: Joseph Addax @ 85%; Champ Bailey @ 65%
Oakland Raiders at Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals RB Chris "Beanie" Wells (knee)
Jock-to-Doc take: Wells has practiced this week in a limited fashion despite recovering San Diego Chargers jersey
from a knee injury. This is good news as it doesn't appear that any setbacks have occurred. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said that barring issues Friday, he fully expects Wells to play. See my video above for news on Cardinals wide receiver Early Doucette.

24 sep 10 TO, Ochocinco haven’t hit their stride
CINCINNATI (AP)—Through two games, the Bengals’ pass-catching duo has been anything but dynamic.
Chad Ochocinco(notes) and Terrell Owens(notes) dubbed themselves Batman and Robin at the start of training camp. They expected to play like superheroes on the field.
Mere mortals so far.
The Bengals (1-1) failed to score a touchdown in their 15-10 win over football jersey
Baltimore on Sunday, a game that left the receivers frustrated. Cincinnati won the AFC North last season by relying on its defense and a run-oriented offense, a grind-it-out approach that worked again against one of the league’s best defenses.
Doesn’t do much for those receiving stats.
“From a skill perspective, we want to really throw the ball a little bit more,” Owens said. “There were some opportunities out there that we missed. That’s where—as Robin says—the frustration comes from. I can definitely feel for him in that situation.
“From an offense’s standpoint, we played mediocre. We definitely could have played better.”
When the Bengals signed Owens to a one-year, $2 million deal at the start of training camp, Ochocinco called the Bengals receiving corps a dream team. They looked good during their limited chances in the preseason. When the season started, things changed.
Ochocinco had a 12-catch game against New England, but most of them came in the second half when the Bengals were already down 30-3. When it mattered, he and TO were not much of a factor in a 38-24 loss.
The big second half gave Ochocinco a boost in the league rankings. He’s second in the NFL with 203 yards on 16 catches. Owens is 42nd with 110 yards on 10 catches. They’ve combined for one touchdown. The passing game ranks eighth in the league—again, mainly because of the second half against a New England defense that had the game in hand.
Certainly not comic book stuff.
“Truthfully, it’s not flowing the way we would like it to flow,” Ochocinco said. “Not near. (TO) continues to remind me when I get frustrated in practice that it’s only week two. It’s really early. As the season goes along, we’re going to get it together.”
Their quarterback also is advising patience.
Carson Palmer(notes) had two chances to connect with the duo in the end zone against Baltimore. New Orleans Saints jersey
Ochocinco broke free when a defensive back tripped, but Palmer had to hurry his throw because he was about to get hit.
Also, Owens outjumped cornerback Fabian Washington(notes) in the end zone for a high throw. Washington appeared to grab Owens’ arm as the ball arrived, resulting in an incompletion.
Palmer didn’t take many chances, avoiding a turnover against a defense that hasn’t allowed a touchdown this season. Ochocinco had four catches for 44 yards. Owens had three for 57.
“We’d all love to put up huge numbers, but more than huge numbers we love to win,” Palmer said Wednesday. “Playing against that style of defense, no one is going to go off for 180 yards.
“They want the ball in their hands and I want the ball in their hands, too. I’m going to do what I can without jeopardizing our team or putting our defense in a difficult situation. There’s going to be highs and lows. They’re going to have those big-number games probably not week-in and week-out, but one is going to have a big-number game on a consistent basis.”
The Bengals play at Carolina (0-2) on Sunday.
Part of the problem is that Palmer is still getting to know Owens as a receiver. Owens began learning the playbook at the start of training camp, and the passer-receiver relationship is still in its formative stages.
“The separation he can create (with a defensive back), the speed with which he carries his routes is amazing,” Palmer said. “We’ve been working together for a little while now and getting closer. Pretty soon we’re going to be clicking just like Chad and I have been.”
Owens and Palmer have been doing extra work around practice to get to know each other a little better. They talk frequently about how they can get on the same wavelength.
“It’s not like I am a hard target to throw to,” Owens said. “I think he has been used to a certain style of receiver over a number of years, throwing to Chad and T.J. (Houshmandzadeh). I was just making a joke to him the other day: I am TO, not TJ. It’s one of those things I understand. We both want to be successful. It irks both of Chargers jersey
us when we misconnect on certain routes and things like that.”
For now, Ochocinco has toned down the preseason bluster about making teams reach for headache remedies whenever they have to face the duo.
“Maybe week four, week five,” Ochocinco said. “When we as a team are rolling, it should get scary.”

Panthers 4, Hurricanes 1
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—Erik Gudbranson(notes) had a goal and an assist, and the Florida Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Tuesday night in the preseason opener for both teams.
Gudbranson, Mike Santorelli(notes) and Scott Timmins(notes) scored against Carolina starter Cam Ward(notes) on three straight shots in a span of 1 minute, 54 seconds in the first period. That put Florida ahead 3-0 less than 6 minutes into the game.
Nathan Paetsch(notes) also scored and Joe Callahan(notes) and football jerseys
Evgeny Dadonov(notes) had two assists apiece for the Panthers.
Anton Babchuk(notes) scored a short-handed goal for the Hurricanes.
Ward made 17 saves in 32 minutes before giving way to Justin Pogge(notes), who Steelers jersey
made three stops the rest of the way. Florida’s Scott Clemmensen(notes) stopped 16 shots in 32 minutes and was relieved by Jacob Markstrom(notes), who made the final 17 saves.
TORONTO (AP)—Nick Foligno(notes) bounced back from a knee injury with a goal, and Robin Lehner(notes) made 24 saves in the Ottawa Senators’ 5-0 preseason win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.
Foligno was one of the few regular NHL players who dressed on a night in which both teams gave several of their prospects a chance to see action.
