warum » as a rookie in a come-from behind victory at Winnip

EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Eskimos enjoyed a brief moment in the sun following just their second win of the season Saturday over Winnipeg. Then they were back on the field Monday with the realization that the victory might mean more pressure than relief. "If we lose the rest of the season this one win means nothing," said defensive end Odell Willis. "We have a long way to go and we still have to put things together and keep climbing." The 25-7 win snapped an eight-game losing streak and had the 2-9 Edmonton players thinking of the playoffs. After Montreal lost to the B.C. Lions on the weekend the Alouettes, third in the CFL Eastern Division, are just two wins ahead of the Eskimos in a cross-over scenario. The key now, said defensive back T.J. Hill, is to build momentum and follow up with a repeat performance Friday in Winnipeg in the rematch with the 2-9 Blue Bombers. "We know this game is going to be even harder," Hill said. "Its tough to beat a team twice, let alone two times in a row, week to week. We know its going to be difficult going into a hostile environment and theyre going to try to redeem themselves. We definitely have to be prepared mentally and physically." Hill, second on the Eskimos in tackles with 51, said the win at home will give the team some momentum heading to Winnipeg. More than anything, however, there was a huge sigh of relief among the Eskimos. "Oh, definitely, it was a long time coming since we had a win," Hill said. "There was that enjoyment of a win after the game. Any time you have a win, even when you do some things wrong, theres a feeling of relief, but we know we still have to improve, get better." Thats not always easy. The feeling after a loss is that you have to work harder and improve, but after a win there can be a false sense that you dont have to get any better. So now the pressure is on the Eskimos to find a way to win back-to-back games. The Bombers came into Edmonton on a high after upsetting the No. 1 ranked Saskatchewan Roughriders but found out quickly that they couldnt maintain the same intensity against the Eskimos. Hill said the key to consistency is in extra preparation. "You try to dig a little deeper and go a little harder," he said. "The same preparation but just put a little extra into it, try to go that extra six inches, that extra weight in the weight room, extra five or 10 minutes in the meeting room, extra couple of reps in practice. Same preparation but just extend it a bit more. That way you better yourself in all aspects, mentally and physically." Willis said it was business as usual after the win, but hes on the defence that has been much better than the offence all season. The Esks defence has given up just 29 points in the last two games and has 12 quarterback sacks in the last three. "Thats the expectation we have for this D line and the defence," said Willis, who is tied for the team lead with five sacks and two forced fumbles. "It took a while to jell and get it going, but now that its going I expect nothing less from me or the rest of the D line." The Eskimos released two import players Monday: defensive end Nekos Brown and offensive lineman Branden Curry. Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Homme Pas Cher .

Playing in his fourth major league game, Polanco broke a tie in the 13th inning with his first homer, helping Pittsburgh to an 8-6 victory over the Miami Marlins after the Pirates had a ninth-inning meltdown.WINNIPEG -- They lost out on the Henry Burris sweepstakes but the Winnipeg Blue Bombers didnt wait long to land another quarterback, acquiring Drew Willy Thursday from the Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders for Canadian receiver and Regina native Jade Etienne. Winnipeg also signed Willy to an extension, reportedly for two years. He was scheduled to become a free agent next week and will be unveiled by the Blue Bombers on Friday at Investors Group Field. "Drew is a quarterback we have always thought had very high potential in this league," said Winnipeg GM Kyle Walters. "He immediately upgrades us at this position and we really look forward to him being a part of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers moving forward." But is he a starter who can win regularly, something a team that finished with a league-worst 3-15 record last season so desperately needs? Playing behind Darian Durant, Willy doesnt have a lot of experience. He posted a 2-2 record in his two seasons with the Roughriders and, at least on paper right now, is competing for the starters job with Max Hall and Justin Goltz. The six-foot-three, 215-pound Willy was 32-of-52 passing last season for 474 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. He saw more action in 2012, completing 69-of-95 passes for 709 yards, five TDs and four interceptions. Riders coach Corey Chamblin, named the CFLs coach of the year Wednesday after leading Saskatchewan to a their fourth Grey Cup title, has praised Willy for his composure. Willy wasnt Winnipegs first choice. He joins the Blue Bombers after they lost out to the expansion Ottawa Redblacks for the services of free-agent Burris, the CFLs passing leader last season who was released by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Hall became Winnipegs starter last year as the Bombers struggled through a series of quarterbacks and traded veteran Buck Pierce to the B.C. Lions. Goltz, who had been considered by many to be the teams future, failed to measure up when he finally got his shot.dddddddddddd Willy, 27, is a native of Randolph, N.J., who spent some time in the NFL on practice squads in Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego, and New York and played in the UFL with Las Vegas in 2010. "I am really excited to join the Blue Bomber organization," he said in a statement. "The support the team gets from the province of Manitoba is remarkable. "With such a deep history, the fans, the new stadium, and the direction the team wants to go, its going to be a great place to play. The people within the organization have shown genuine interest in me, and as a player, you cant ask for anything more." He started two games in 2013, going 1-1. He earned his first CFL win as a rookie in a come-from behind victory at Winnipeg in the Banjo Bowl, where he completed 17-of-23 for 188 yards and a touchdown and ran for another. Willy played at the University of Buffalo, where he was the most prolific passer in school history, setting records for completions (849), attempts (1,322), yards (8,748), touchdowns (52), total offence (8,639), and completion percentage (64.2). "He is a quarterback with great promise in our league," said Danny McManus, himself a Canadian Football Hall of Fame quarterback and Winnipegs new assistant general manager and director of U.S. scouting. "Drew has the attitude and determination you look for at the quarterback position. "He is physically and mentally tough, and can endure the challenges a quarterback faces, day in, and day out." Etienne, 24, was an off-the-board first round pick of the Blue Bombers in the 2011 draft and after three CFL seasons had 20 receptions for 276 yards and two TDs. But he didnt see a lot of action until 2013 when he had 19 catches for 265 yards and the two touchdowns. Like Willy, Etienne was set to become a free agent next week. ' ' '
