NFL
Jerseys Cheap . 1 between the Seattle Seahawks and New England
Patriots at University of Phoenix Stadium:When the Seahawks (14-4) have the
ball:If the Patriots can tame the Beast, they will have a big head start toward
a fourth NFL championship since 2001. RB Marshawn Lynch (24) will try to impose
his will on a solid but not overwhelming defence led by DT Vince Wilfork (75),
DE Rob Ninkovich (50), LBs Jamie Collins (91) and Donta Hightower (54). If Lynch
is slowed, that leaves the onus for running on QB Russell Wilson (3). While
highly capable — he rushed for 849 yards and six TDs in 2014 — Wilson would
prefer balance on offence.When he throws, he must avoid the interceptions that
plagued him vs. Green Bay for the NFC title. Not that Wilson was always
off-target, with two of his picks being off tips by WR Jermaine Kearse (15). But
he was not nearly as precise as usual.Kearse, who caught the winning TD pass in
the past two NFC title matches, was targeted on all four interceptions against
the Packers. Hell see plenty of CBs Darrelle Revis (24) and Brandon Browner
(39), a Seahawk last season, and could struggle getting open deep. S Devin
McCourty (32) also will help in coverage on WR Doug Baldwin (89) and TE Luke
Willson (82).One thing Seattle wont do is lose faith even when things arent
working on offence. And behind an unsung offensive line led by LT Russell Okung
(76) and C Max Unger (60), they wont back off, either.When the Patriots (14-4)
have the ball:Unquestionably the key matchup, as it often is these days when the
Patriots are on the field, will be All-Pro TE Rob Gronkowski (87) against the
legions trying to cover him. However, for Seattles Legion of Boom, much of the
assignment will fall to S Kam Chancellor (31). Chancellor has the size (6-3,
232), speed and tackling skills to somewhat neutralize Gronkowski.If he can do
that, it frees All-Pro S Earl Thomas (29) to help with versatile WR Julian
Edelman (11), who mostly will draw All-Pro CB Richard Sherman (25) in coverage.
QB Tom Brady (12) is particularly comfortable throwing to Gronk and Edelman, and
the Seahawks want to force him to look at others instead.But even if the
coverage is strong, Seattle must get pressure from pass rushers DEs Michael
Bennett (72) and Cliff Avril (56) and LBs Bobby Wagner (54), an All-Pro, and
Bruce Irvin (51). Brady is most vulnerable — which isnt very vulnerable — when
he has to throw before he wants to and cant set his feet.That means an
unheralded offensive line featuring tackles Sebastian Vollmer (76) and Nate
Solder (77) needs to be steady.Green Bay showed the Seahawks can be run on, so
RB LeGarrette Blount (29) could wind up being a featured player.Special
Teams:Although the Seahawks were not great on special teams this season, they
were spectacular in beating Green Bay. A fake field goal pass for a TD by holder
Jon Ryan (9) — one of the NFLs most accurate punters — and an onside kick that
kept them alive for the NFC title wont be forgotten in the Pacific
Northwest.Generally, though, New England has the edge here. Coverage is very
good on punt and kickoff returns, led by Pro Bowler Matthew Slater (18). Edelman
(11) was second in the NFL with 12 yards per punt return and had one for an
84-yard TD. Stephen Gostkowski (3) missed only two field goals and led the NFL
with 156 points.Coaching:Pete Carrolls revenge? Its not a major story line, but
it should be recognized that Carroll preceded Bill Belichick in New England. He
wasnt a bad coach there, either, going 28-23, but that pales compared to
Belichicks numbers.No team brings more energy to the field than the Seahawks,
and it stems from Carroll. He always has the pulse of his team: Carroll saw how
Seattle was suffering from a Super Bowl hangover early in the schedule. He not
only got the Seahawks to snap out of it, but reach peak form down the stretch —
at least until last week, when they got lucky, too.Belichick just surpassed Tom
Landrys mark for postseason victories (21). Regardless of the findings of the
NFLs probe into under-inflated footballs in the AFC championship contest, he is
known as an innovator — just as much as he is known for stretching the
parameters of the rulebook. Belichick keeps things fresh by finding new ways to
exploit the opposition.He will have something unusual lined up for Carroll and
the Seahawks.Intangibles:Seattle seeks to become the first repeat winner since
the Patriots managed it a decade ago. A victory would stamp these Seahawks as an
all-time great team, particularly having beaten Peyton Manning and Brady in
successive Super Bowls. The Seahawks also come off a mediocre performance in the
NFC title game, which should spur them on.New England, of course, doesnt want to
add a stigma of Super Bowl loser by dropping three in a row after winning in its
first three trips with Brady and Belichick. Brady can equal Terry Bradshaw and
Joe Montana with four Super Bowl rings, while Belichick can tie Chuck Noll with
four.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL

2010, for Canadas final preliminary round game against the ailing Finns.UFC
veteran lightweight Melvin Guillard has been released by the organization. "The
Young Assassin" is mired in a 2-5 skid with one no contest that was capped off
by a disappointing unanimous decision loss to Michael Johnson at UFC Fight Night
38 in London on March 8. His manager Malki Kawa announced his release Thursday
night. "Theres no doubt Melvin ran the entire fight and was incredibly passive,
the complete opposite of how he used to fight," UFC president Dana White said of
Guillards last performance. "There was a lot of smack talk leading up to that
fight, and those are the fights that everybody gets excited about, and nine
times out of 10 they end up like tonight. Those drive me crazy. "I was excited
for that fight. I thoughtt (they were) both really explosive athletes who can
mix it up really well, and it just didnt happen tonight.

inconsistent Guillard. Despite being awarded Knockout of the Night on three
spearate occasions, the New Orleans native never established himself among the
lightweight divisions elite. Guillard debuted in the octagon during the second
season of "The Ultimate Fighter" in 2005. From 2008 to late 2011, Guillard put
together his finest run, scoring eight wins in nine fights but failed to defeat
household lightweight names like Nate Diaz, Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller. Guillard
leaves the UFC with the third most wins, most knockdowns and most knockouts in
lightweight history.
