Rookie cornerback Denzel Ward made his way up the Browns depth chart to the first team before the end of the offseason program and his more experienced teammates had a hand in his rise.
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said before the end of last weeks minicamp that Ward joined 2017 first-round pick Myles Garrett in fitting into the locker room faster than most rookies and calls that an important part of any decision about moving a rookie into the starting lineup. There is also the matter of how things go on the field and Ward got a thumbs up from other Browns players there as well.
When a veteran comes to me and says http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/tony-romo-jersey , Hey coach, were better when Denzel is out there,' Williams said, via the teams website. So really? Now youre taking ownership of him? Oh really? Now youre mentoring him? Well see. I will give him a couple of reps out there, and we will see. After that, when you give that kid the opportunity and that he fits in the room, as opposed to just anointing him because we drafted him. He hasnt played in this league. I dont anoint anybody. Both he and Myles got the acceptance of everyone faster than most rookies have had.
Williams appears to concur with the players as he also said http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/d.j.-swearinger-jersey , via Ohio.com, that Ward is one of the best press coverage corners that hes seen come out of college in recent years. All of that adds up to a heavy dose of Ward right off the bat in his rookie year and making good on his promise would put another piece in place for the Browns as they try to climb out of the 0-16 hole they dug last season.
Carolina is a long shot to make the playoffs. Coach Bill Peters is still looking for a strong finish for the Hurricanes.
Justin Faulk scored midway through the second period, and Carolina beat the Washington Capitals 4-1 on Friday night to remain in the postseason race.
It was the fourth win in five games for the Hurricanes, who havent made the playoffs since 2009. Carolina must win its final four games while Florida and New Jersey lose their remaining games in regulation to play beyond the regular season.
Asked if the playoffs were a realistic goal, Peters answered tersely: No. But Peters believes there are genuine incentives for his team.
Youve got to play, he said. These guys are pros. Youre paid to play.
Metropolitan Division-leading Washington had won five in a row. Michal Kempny scored his first goal with the Capitals after he was acquired in a February trade with Chicago.
Weve been playing great the last month, Capitals forward Devante Smith-Pelly said. I dont want to say this was expected Bob Lilly Jersey , but a game like this maybe was going to happen eventually. It was probably better tonight than Sunday.
Washington visits Pittsburgh on Sunday, and the teams have a long history.
Overall, obviously we dont like those guys, Smith-Pelly said. Its a huge game. Well be back.
Carolina goaltender Scott Darling stopped 20 shots, and Braden Holtby had 26 saves for Washington.
Capitals coach Barry Trotz thought his team was simply outplayed.
This league is way too good if you have a little bit of an off-night or youre not on your `A game, this league can humble you in a very hard way and a quick way, Trotz said. We didnt have enough invested. We didnt have enough guys pulling on the rope.
Kempny put the Capitals in front at 2:35 of the second http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/zack-martin-jersey , but Carolinas Derek Ryan quickly responded. He beat Holtby for his 14th goal at 3:15.
Theres pride on the line, Ryan said. Were not quite in the playoff race. Were not eliminated, but we realize where were at. Were just continuing to play our game. Were not thinking about it. We have four games, so were going to make those games count.
Faulks eighth goal of the season put the Hurricanes ahead to stay at 11:43. It was Faulks first goal since he scored three times in a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 13.
Sebastian Ahos 28th goal at 14:36 of the third made it 3-1, and Brock McGinn added an empty-netter at 17:50.
NOTES: Trotz said he enjoyed the story of emergency goalie Scott Fosters outstanding performance for Chicago on Thursday night. Trotz doesnt know who the Capitals emergency goalies are. I just know that we have them, Trotz said. Someone has a phone book with numbers. If you need a goalie, you start phoning. Id like to meet them http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/demarcus-ware-jersey , just not on our bench. Washington F Lars Eller played in his 600th career game. . Capitals F T.J. Oshie, who had an assist on Kempnys goal, logged just 14 minutes of playing time, his lowest since Dec. 30. Trotz said Oshie was being checked for an injury, but wouldnt comment on its specifics. Carolina D Jaccob Slavin had two assists.
