Kritik und Lob » this the biggest turnaround by runs in a T

LANDOVER, Md. -- When the NFL schedule came out, one opponent in particular stood out for the Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III and the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.Oh, I marked it on the calendar, said Redskins defensive back Will Blackmon, whose locker was next to Griffins last season, before the 2012 No. 2 overall draft pick and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year was jettisoned by Washington. I texted him: `Throw me one! He said, `I cant do that, man.So much for all of that, draining the most compelling story line from when the Redskins (1-2) host the Browns (0-3) on Sunday: The man known as RG3 broke a bone in his left shoulder in his first game as Clevelands quarterback and is sidelined .Griffin was a polarizing figure in Washington, drawing attention -- wanted, as much as unwanted -- for everything that happened on the field and off. There was his spectacular first season, including an NFC East title. There was the torn-up knee in the playoffs. There was the rehab process and All in for Week 1. More injuries. A real dip in quality of play. Clashes with coaches, first Mike Shanahan, then Jay Gruden.I just hope and pray he gets healthy as fast as possible ... and get a chance to show the Browns what theyve got and show what he can do as a quarterback, Washington left tackle Trent Williams said. When we won the division championship, obviously that was the height of his time here. And until last year, that was the height of my time here. So thats what I think about: I think about the good times. I dont really think about the swirling headlines that developed.Griffin and current Redskins QB Kirk Cousins (fourth round) arrived in the same draft, but it wasnt until last season that Cousins got a chance to be the starter for 16 games. Griffin, meanwhile, did not get on the field for a single play, inactive for all but one game.Asked his reaction when the schedule first came out, raising the possibility of a Griffin homecoming, Cousins avoided the topic completely, not even mentioning his former teammates name.And while rookie Cody Kessler will be making his second NFL start for the Browns, there are those who would have liked to have seen an RG3 vs. Skins matchup.I wish he was playing. That would have been really cool, Blackmon said. For Robert to come back here would have been a cool story to be part of. That would have been great drama for TV. I dont like drama, but I like drama for TV.Here is what else to know about Browns-Redskins on Sunday:ASKING FOR HELP: Browns coach Hue Jackson dismissed the idea his staff would be picking Griffins brain for help preparing a game plan against his former team. Some of our players will ask Robert questions as they go through it, Jackson said, but I dont think we as coaches have sat him down and interrogated him and said, `Hey, we are going to waterboard you if you dont tell us this.TRAP GAME?: Cousins was asked about the possibility of this being one of those matchups where the Redskins take a winless team too lightly and look past the Browns. I dont see any game in the NFL as a `trap game, Cousins replied. I mean, were 1-2. What are we feeling comfortable about?PRODUCTIVE PRYOR: The Redskins will want to know where Clevelands do-everything Terrelle Pryor is at all times. Last week, Pryor caught eight passes for 144 yards, threw for 35 and rushed for 21, becoming the first player since Frank Gifford in 1959 to have at least 120 receiving, 30 passing and 20 yards rushing in the same game.LINEUP SHUFFLE: After losing two players to IR last week, S DeAngelo Hall and C Kory Lichtensteiger, and having CB Bashaud Breeland and LG Shawn Lauvao get hurt less seriously, the Redskins will do some lineup shuffling. Blackmon will start for Hall. Arie Kouandjio will start for Lauvao, while Spencer Long will step in at center. The Redskins plan to have C John Sullivan, a free agent signed to place Lichtensteiger on the active roster, ready to go, just in case.RED ZONE: After ranking 11th in red-zone TD efficiency last season, the Redskins are next to last in the NFL, with only three touchdowns in 14 trips inside the opponents 20 -- including 0 for 4 last week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrichBradley Zimmer Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Tyler Clippard Jersey . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. http://www.indianssale.com/indians-trevor-bauer-jersey/ . For the Wild it was their first win of the season and they now have a record of 1-1-2 while the Jets fall to 2-2. Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars. Roberto Perez Indians Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Francisco Lindor Indians Jersey . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments.At the end of the first Test against Sri Lanka, Australia faced something like 25 successive maidens. Was this a record? asked Brian Gladwin from Australia Steve OKeefe hit a four from the fifth delivery of the 63rd over of the final innings in Pallekele - his only scoring shot in 98 balls - to take Australia to 161 for 8, after which they faced 154 further deliveries (25.4 overs) without scoring a single run. OKeefe and Peter Nevill faced 138 of those (including the ball that dismissed Nevill), then OKeefe and last man Josh Hazlewood had 16 more. Such a scoreless sequence is easily a Test record - England went 92 balls without scoring, largely against Sonny Ramadhin and Alf Valentine, as they slipped to defeat against West Indies at Lords in 1950. Charles Davis, the assiduous Australian statistician, has pinpointed another possible similar barren run: on the first day of the first Test in Melbourne in 1882-83, Alec Bannerman and Billy Murdoch patted back 22 successive four-ball maidens from Billy Barnes, Dick Barlow and Willie Bates. Thats 88 deliveries without a run, and its possible it was as many as 92 in all.The four opening partnerships in the second Test in Sri Lanka managed just eight runs. Is this a record low? asked Stephen Anderson from Australia The openers certainly struggled in the second Test in Galle. Dimuth Karunaratne of Sri Lanka was dismissed by the first ball of the match, then Joe Burns fell to the second ball of Australias reply. In the second innings, Kaushal Silva fell in the second over with the score on 5, then Burns was again out in the first over, with three runs on the board. There have been two other instances of four opening partnerships adding up to eight runs in a Test: by England (5 and 3) and New Zealand (0 and 0, with Roger Twose bagging a pair) at Edgbaston in 1999, swiftly followed by West Indies (4 and 0) and Zimbabwe (0 and 4) in Port-of-Spain in 1999-2000. But the clear winner comes from another Caribbean Test. In Kingston in 2006, the opening partnerships for West Indies (0 and 0, with a pair for Chris Gayle) and India (1 and 1) amounted to just two runs.At Edgbaston England trailed by 103 runs on first innings, yet won by 141. Is this the biggest turnaround by runs in a Test? asked Richard Shavei-Tzion from Israel Well, there have been three Tests which were won by a team which followed-on - by England against Australia at Sydney in 1894-95 and at Headingley in 1981, and by India against Australia in Kolkata in 2000-01, so I suppose those would be the biggest turnarounds of all. But England at Edgbaston last week provided only the eighth instance of a team winning by more than 100 runs after being more than 100 behind on first innings - and England were also the last to do it, against New Zealand at Lords last year. It happened twice in the 12 months before that, as well: Sri Lanka beat England by 100 runs at Headingley in 2014 after being 108 behind on first innings, while New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 193 in Wellington in 2014-15 after trailing by 135. The first instance was in 1931-32, when Australia (160 behind on first innings) beat South Africa by 169 runs in Melbourne; South Africa turned the tables inn Joh
