ERST LESEN! » ear in Cleveland, said Gabriel can run ever

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said his latest postgame catchphrase -- the how do you like me now? shout directed at general manager Scot McCloughan -- didnt carry any hidden message.As Cousins ran off the field following Sundays win over the Green Bay Packers, he stopped and shouted the line at McCloughan, then tussled the GMs hair as he kept running into the tunnel.Cousins, of course, is playing under the franchise tag, and his contract situation has been well-documented. Cousins wanted $20 million per season; the Redskins best offer was $16 million. That has led to much speculation on his future with the Redskins and whether they will meet his asking price for a long-term deal.Cousins said it was just an in-the-moment situation.No, theres nothing, Cousins said. I was just excited coming off the field with emotion. I would prefer for that to happen with no cameras and no microphones. But I ran into him on the field where there were cameras and microphones. Were both competitors who want to win desperately and both feeling great in that moment.Scot has done a phenomenal job bringing in the right people ... that have made a big difference in the success of this team. A big reason we are where we are and part of the reason we enjoy being here is because of the team Scot assembled.Cousins said during his weekly appearance on 106.7 The Fan that it was McCloughan who kept encouraging him after a rough start to the 2015 season. Cousins then finished strong with 19 touchdowns and two interceptions in his last eight games.Scot gets it; hes a football guy, Cousins said. He understands what its like to play at this level and the challenges and demands and pressure that come with it.Still, the challenge for Cousins remains to convince the organization that hes worth an expensive long-term contract. He said hes able to focus on the games and not his future because this episode is just an extension of his entire career.Cousins entered his senior season in high school without a scholarship offer. As a senior at Michigan State, he said he played not knowing what would happen in the draft because he wasnt a projected high pick. Then he was drafted in the fourth round to be a backup to Robert Griffin III.And here we are again, Cousins said. This isnt the first time I went through this, so you just play.Cousins has thrown 17 touchdowns to seven interceptions this season as the Redskins have gone 6-1-1 heading into Thursdays game at Dallas after an 0-2 start.Numerous analysts have said the Redskins need to keep him long term. Cousins, however, said hes ignoring that, too.Its a positive thing they would say that, but at the same time, I know people are itching to say the opposite if I dont play well Thursday, Cousins said. Im always focused on the here and now. Nike Air Max Plus Wholesale . Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Taylor Gabriel wouldnt trade his speed for anything.Not even a chance to be built like Falcons teammate Julio Jones.Gabriel, only 5-foot-8 and 165 pounds, doesnt look like a typical NFL player, especially one who has scored in four straight games entering Atlantas visit from the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.Gabriel wasnt drafted out of Abilene Christian but still made Clevelands roster as a rookie in 2014. He played in 29 games before being cut before this season. The Falcons took another look at Gabriels speed and quickly signed the receiver.I think everybody could tell from day one he was a guy who was going to be able to help us in some way because he had such great speed and quickness and that was something we could use, quarterback Matt Ryan said this week.The Gabriel signing one week before the season has turned out to be one of the teams most important personnel decisions of the season.Gabriel, who scored on screen plays of 25 and 35 yards in Atlantas 38-19 win over Arizona last week, has become an important target for Ryan -- even if he is the smallest target.Gabriel looks especially undersized when compared with Atlantas star receiver, the tall and muscular Jones (6-3, 220), who leads the NFL with 1,140 yards receiving.Gabriel paused Wednesday when asked if he wished he could be as big as Jones.Uh, not too many times, he said. Man, I like being fast.But Jones is big and fast.Yeah, hes pretty fast, but I dont think I want to be that big, Gabriel said before adding with a laugh Julio is too big.Gabriel said he was timed at 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash when he ran for NFL scouts in college. He has used his speed to catch 21 paasses for 378 yards and four touchdowns.dddddddddddd He also has three carries for 51 yards and a touchdown.The success doesnt keep Gabriel from feeling he must prove himself again and again, especially after he was cut by the Browns. He said his first career two touchdown game doesnt change anything.It feels good but I always go in with a chip on my shoulder, go in just being at the bottom and things like that, Gabriel said Wednesday.Falcons center Alex Mack, who played with Gabriel in Cleveland, described the receiver as kind of a quiet guy who is always doing the right thing and working hard.Added Mack: So to see him have some success is great.Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who coached Gabriel one year in Cleveland, said Gabriel can run every route.Hes fearless, Shanahan said Thursday. Hes not scared of anything. Hes a good blocker and obviously he can do screens and stuff like that, too. Anytime you have a receiver who can run the whole route tree, you can use him in a lot of different spots.The offense also was bolstered last week by running back Tevin Colemans return after missing three games with a hamstring injury. Ryan completed passes to eight players in the game.That depth has helped the Falcons lead the league with 32.5 points per game.I think you have to account for a lot of guys when you play us, Ryan said. Thats the fun part of playing quarterback, when you have a lot of really good players at a lot of different positions.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
