warum » II Player of the Year after rushing for 2,084

NEW YORK -- The Associated Press will recognize the NFLs top assistant coach with a new award beginning this season, the news organization announced Wednesday. The Assistant Coach of the Year award will be the APs eighth NFL honour, joining MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, and Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year. A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league will vote on all the awards, and the winners will be announced on Super Bowl eve. The award will be open to any assistant coach, from co-ordinators to position coaches to quality control coaches. New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who spent a decade as an assistant coach in Baltimore before getting his current job, called the award "a great idea, and overdue." "Every head coach is an extension of his staff," said Ryan, who won a Super Bowl as an assistant with the Ravens. "Thats the absolute truth. I dont care how good one man is, he cant get the job done without an outstanding set of assistant coaches. And this is a way to recognize them. "There are a lot of great assistant coaches out there who deserve to be recognized." Every year since Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson won the award in 1990, the APs Coach of the Year has served an apprenticeship on an NFL staff. That includes longtime assistants such as Dan Reeves, Dick Jauron and Marvin Lewis. In 2012, Indianapolis offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians replaced the ill Chuck Pagano early in the season as an interim head coach and led the Colts to the AFC South title. Pagano won the AP Coach of the Year. He parlayed that success into his first NFL head coaching gig, guiding the Arizona Cardinals to a turnaround 10-6 record last season. Arians is the only interim to win Coach of the Year. "This kind of award can spark other things for a coach in his career," Ryan said of the new assistant coach award. "It gives these guys a platform and an owner takes notice, gets to know this guy and his work. This is a big deal." Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who served on staffs with the Eagles, Packers and Giants, knows exactly what makes a good assistant coach. "You want people who are goal-oriented, who aspire to improve their lot and be in a position to have greater responsibility," Coughlin said. "But it always gets back to Square 1: You are happy only when your players and your unit and your team performs well. "Its important that they are being evaluated by their ability to motivate and to teach and coach and create an environment where they can perform to the best of their ability, and in turn, so does the team." This is the first new award the AP will be handing out since 1998, when the first Comeback Player of the Year honour was won by Buffalo quarterback Doug Flutie. Most of the other AP awards date back to the 1950s and 60s. Vapormax Run Utility Canada . 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell.

Vapormax Canada . Beanballs were the theme Friday night as the Red Sox and Rays had another AL East rumble, with Boston earning a 3-2 victory on A. The Detroit Lions achieved one of their top goals this off-season, retaining Joique Bell, and took a step toward another one, setting up a meeting with Golden Tate. The Lions and Bell agreed to a $9.3 million, three-year contract, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person, who said $4.3 million of the contract is guaranteed, spoke Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Detroit is also determined to add a player to complement wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Tate appears to be a good fit. The free agent wide receiver will meet with the Lions, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person, who said Tate was travelling to Detroit on Tuesday night, spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because the visit had not been announced. Tate led the Seattle Seahawks with 64 catches and 898 yards receiving last season, setting career highs in both categories. The former Notre Dame star also scored five touchdowns last season, giving him 15 in his four-year career. "I definitely do not want to play against Seattle, Ill tell you that," Tate said in February after Seattles Super Bowl parade. "I dont want to play against Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor for sure, but well see. Only time will tell. I think I set myself up regardless if its here -- hopefully its here -- or elsewhere with the way I play the game." Detroit also agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, according to another person familiar with negotiations, speaking to AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hadnt been announced. The Lions really wanted Bell back, and can probably find a spot on the roster for Ogletree. Bell had a team-high eight touchdowns rushing last season. He was second to Reggiie Bush with 166 carries for 650 yards rushing for the Lions last year.dddddddddddd Bell ranked third on the team in each of the last two seasons in Detroit with a combined 105 receptions for 1,032 yards. While Bush gives Detroit a speedy and shifty threat out of the backfield, the 5-foot-11, 220-pound Bell provides much-needed power. He has run for 1,064 yards -- 4.3 yards per carry -- and 11 TDs in two seasons with the Lions. The undrafted free agent from Wayne State University in Detroit played a total of eight games as a rookie in 2010 with the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles. Bell won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year after rushing for 2,084 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2009. Eventually, Bell proved he could make the jump to the NFL. The Benton Harbor, Mich., native has found a home with the Lions, who signed him off New Orleans practice squad late in the 2011 season after he bounced around with the Saints, Eagles, Colts and Bills. Ogletree can potentially help Detroit because Nate Burleson was released and Ryan Broyles has struggled to stay healthy. He had 13 receptions for 199 yards and a touchdown in 12 games last season for the Lions, who signed him after Tampa Bay cut him. Ogletree has 78 career receptions for 999 yards and six touchdowns over five seasons, four of which were with the Dallas Cowboys. In free agency or the draft, the Lions are hoping to add a No. 2 receiver -- perhaps Tate -- and a safety to start alongside Glover Quin to replace Burleson and Louis Delmas, both of whom were released this off-season. Delmas has signed with the Miami Dolphins. The Lions would also like to sign Ndamukong Suh to a new contract to avoid having the defensive tackle count more than $20 million against the salary cap this year. ' ' '
