EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh has been tight-lipped in recent days about the struggles that prompted the team to bring in free agents for tryouts this week.Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer has been with Walsh for all five of his seasons in the league, so if anyone knows how the kicker is dealing with the criticism, Priefer might be the guy.It kind of lit a fire under him, Priefer said on Thursday. He was a little bit, got ticked off in a good way I think. Because hes a competitive young man. When you bring in guys that are potentially going to take your job, guys that want your job. Hes a competitive guy and thats the way you want him to react.After Walsh missed his third extra point, had a field goal blocked and errantly had a kickoff reach the end zone when it was supposed to land inside the 10-yard line in an ugly overtime loss to Detroit on Sunday, the Vikings brought in six kickers on Tuesday to look at as possible replacements. They ultimately decided not to sign any of the free agents this week, but it did send a clear message to Walsh that he needs to be more consistent.When asked how he thinks Walsh will respond, coach Mike Zimmer said: I wish I could say I have an idea, but I dont. But I do know this kid is pretty confident in his abilities and he wants to prove a lot of people wrong. Thats part of it, too.The Vikings have lost three straight games after a 5-0 start, and they desperately need Walsh to figure things out heading into a game at Washington on Sunday. The straight-talking Zimmer appeared to be hinting at a parting with Walsh on Monday, but has since tried to reiterate his support for the kicker.The guy has missed three extra points. I can probably get 10 guys that screwed up three points this year, Zimmer said. We all make mistakes. I think the guy is a very talented guy.Priefer said he expects Walsh will pull himself out of the funk, as he did after a rough senior season at Georgia. Priefer said Walsh hit all eight of his tries in practice on Thursday, perhaps a little more focused after the tryouts earlier in the week.If he didnt react that way I would be really worried and then we probably would be looking for another guy, Priefer said. He got, I dont want to say angry, but he got a little fired up in a very respectful way. Just like he is, he always is. I expect him to go out and kick well for us this weekend and the rest of the year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLFake Yeezy Wholesale .

Moeen Ali has said that the security arrangements that dominated Englands planning ahead of their tour of Bangladesh never crossed his mind during their opening practice match against a BCB Select XI in Fatullah on Tuesday.I didnt think about it once. No one mentioned it and I cant remember thinking about it, he said on Wednesday, as the England players took a day-off from training.Moeen was speaking at the team hotel, which has been given several layers of extra security because of the presence of the England contingent. On their way to Fatullah, they were accorded VVIP security so that their long convoy could cut through Dhaka traffic at morning rush hour. There was no need for the fleet of vehicles to stop at any crossing or roundabout in the busy Bangladesh capital.The convoy flowed at one speed, before reaching the destination which was 25 kms south of their hotel. A typical ride takes about 90 minutes but this one took half the time.While the match was going on in Fatullah, the security agencies held their final rehearsal at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, where the first two ODIs and the second Test will be held. The forces involved in maintaining security in this series include the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, SWAT, Special Branch, Detective Branch, Rapid Action Battalion and the Bomb Disposal Unit.The Mirpur venue is now under full CCTV coverage. During the first ODI, there will be body checks at the main gate and at the gallery gate. When the England teams convoy nears the stadium, at least 1 km is blockaded, and only those on foot can go through. The stadium perimeter wall has been raised too. All the shops in the stadium will be closed on the eve of the match and each shop owner has to sign a bond that declares that their shops dont contain anything harmful.This is what the Bangladesh government, in conjunction with the BCB, assured Reg Dickason, the ECBs security advisor, in mid-Augustt.dddddddddddd Based on this, Dickason and the ECB sanctioned the tour.Although Englands assistant coach Paul Farbrace had said that the security in Bangladesh isnt as in your face as it was for him in Pakistan, the level provided this time is unprecedented, certainly for Bangladesh.And it must be doing a good job if Moeen didnt notice it in Fatullah where fans had to go through two walk-through scanners to watch them play. He said that he was happy with the measures taken during this tour.Im pretty laid back about it. My theorys a bit different. I think youre probably not safe anywhere, if youre meant to go youre meant to go.It doesnt mean Im going to go out but so far its been the best weve ever had in terms of security, and I think any other country would do well to beat it, he said.Moeen said that if the security provided during the Bangladesh Premier League is up to the mark, the English cricketers should not feel unsafe although the PCA has, earlier this week, warned them against participating in the Bangladesh Premier League on security grounds.Its up to the guys. I know the PCA have sent emails and stuff around to the guys. I dont see why they shouldnt go. If the securitys fine and the guys are happy then they should come. It probably wont be as tight as this but they would have good security still, he said.Moeen has been in Bangladesh before, playing for Mohammedan Sporting Club in the 2010-11 Dhaka Premier League and later in the 2013 BPL for Duronto Rajshahi. He said that he understood what it would mean to people in this country when England arrive for their tour.I know the people here. They are very nice, and generous. Ive always got looked after here. Ive got a lot of friends here. I thought it was important for us to come out. Its a great experience playing out here. ' ' '
