Neues » After hiring Smith as head

Dressed in civvies and a hoodie to hide the damage, a sheepish looking Nigel Reo Coker emerged at training Thursday following his Sunday night stumble. Kenny Golladay Jersey . The injury was gruesome, enough to keep the midfielder out of this weekends clash with Houston. The bruise to Reo-Cokers ego and reputation, however, might be more damaging. The former Villa and West Ham recruit has not had a stellar start to 2014. He dazzled once during the season opener beautifully setting up Pedro Moraless first MLS goal in the late stages, but that was a rare foray into the front third. At Chivas, he coughed up the ball in a bad area at a bad time, and the 10 men Goats took full advantage. In addition, against New England he had his pocket picked on a couple of occasions and was fortunate that neither led to a serious goal threat. Being substituted in the 60th and 70th minutes of those last two games was an indictment on his fitness. Youd think with a child on the way and a real opportunity in Vancouver to be the catalyst and a leader in a young squad, that "Reo C" would have come to camp in top shape and perhaps give the Whitecaps something to think about long term. At 29-years-old, hes still young, hes the box to box midfielder the Caps need, and he has some excellent supporting characters around him. But he didnt come to camp in shape, and in a simple one-on-one drill at the beginning of last week, he was badly exposed by a potential replacement in young Canadian Bryce Alderson. For all his bluster, Reo Coker has been put in his place, by an inanimate object no less. It might have been his manager sending the message, but now Carl Robinson has been let off the hook by having that decision made for him. What happens from here will define Reo Cokers future in Vancouver. He might view this injury/incident as the motivation needed to put his head down, get fit and let his game do the talking. The alternative will look all too familiar to keen observers of the British Bulldogs career; a departure with questions asked and unanswered followed by a new beginning somewhere else. I for one, hope its the former because its easy to like Nigel Reo Coker the person. Its even easier to like Nigels game when its at its very best. Jarrad Davis Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Barry Sanders Jersey . The Spanish champions decision not to sign a defender during the January transfer window may have backfired after Valencia took advantage of a lethargic, uninspired effort by its hosts at the Camp Nou, where former Spain coach Luis Aragones -- who previously coached the Catalan side -- was honoured after his death on Saturday. http://www.officialdetroitlionspro.com/Customized/ . Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., were third with 210.84 points. Teammates Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ont., and Dylan Moscovitch of Toronto were fourth.

Its very disappointing, but its part of this game.Lane is the only fullback on the Bucs depth chart. Coach Lovie Smith said his injury, along with injuries to their tight ends, limited the Bucs offensive options against Chicago.That hurt us yesterday, Smith said. Its hard to have a true running attack that we envisioned coming into the game, but you need to be able to adjust.Thats what forced us to become more of a passing (team). You have to go with the best opportunity to be successful offensively, and thats what we had to do.The Bucs led 7-0 when Lane was injured on his only carry of the game. They led 10-0 at halftime, but ran only eight times for 24 yards in the second half. Three Buccaneers turnovers in the third quarter helped the Bears come back and hand the Bucs their ninth loss in 11 games.I was devastated, said Lane, who watched the second half from a trainers room at Soldier Field.Man, its been a tough year.The Bucs have struuggled to run all season. Detroit Lions Jerseys. . They rank 31st in rushing attempts (239), 29th in yards rushing (84 per game) and 24th in yards per rush (3.9).Smith said Monday that the retooling of the offensive line has been less than successful.I think thats safe to say, he said. We havent played as well on the offensive line as we had hoped. We thought we needed to retool it starting off and had a few injuries, but we hadnt played as well as we need too. Everything starts up front, and as we talk about what were doing offensively, Ill always start off talking about our offensive line.After hiring Smith as head coach, the Bucs released veteran offensive linemen Davin Joseph and Donald Penn and traded centre Jeremy Zuttah for a draft pick. They signed tackle Anthony Collins and centre Evan Dietrich-Smith as free agents and traded for guard Logan Mankins. Tackle Demar Dotson is the only returning starter on the offensive line.You come into a game and you have a commitment to running the football a certain amount of times, Smith said. Then you get into a game and you have to look at whats working for you. ... Whenever we have 22 carries or something like that, would we like to have those numbers up?
