only talk about Andy Murrays last six months

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian will throw his first pass as a pro Thursday night when the Super Bowl champs kick off the 2016 season against the Carolina Panthers.Despite his inexperience, hell have the full playbook at his disposal.He can carry a lot of information in a short period of time, coach Gary Kubiak said Sunday. Let me explain: he can go in that meeting room for two hours in the morning, walk out here at 11:30 and take it to the field. You cant teach that. Guys can handle it or they cant.So, hes handling a lot of information, handling the team, practiced well today. We need to help Trevor all we can but I know Trevors ready to do his part.Siemian isnt the only new face in Denvers starting lineup.Peyton Manning and five other offensive starters from the Broncos 24-10 win over Carolina in Super Bowl 50 are no longer on the roster, a radical makeover for a champion. Neither is Brock Osweiler, who bolted to the Texans in free agency.The only players returning to their same spots on offense are center Matt Paradis, running back C.J. Anderson and receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Another, Michael Schofield, lost his right tackle job to free agent Donald Stephenson but will start at right guard because of injuries to Ty Sambrailo (elbow) and Darrion Weems (concussion).Two years after revamping his defense in the rubble of Seattles Super Bowl demolition of Denver, GM John Elway rebuilt his offense in the wake of his teams triumph.While Elway spent months searching for Mannings successor this offseason, only to find him already on the roster, the Broncos boss jettisoned both tight ends and three O-linemen who started in the Super Bowl.Vernon Davis and Owen Daniels were replaced by Virgil Green and free agent John Phillips.Ryan Harris, Lou Vasquez and Evan Mathis are no longer protecting the passer, replaced by Russell Okung, Max Garcia and Stephenson.Elway also released Ronnie Hillman, the teams leading rusher last season but a non-factor in the Super Bowl, where Anderson rumbled for 90 yards and Denvers only offensive touchdown following Von Millers second sack-strip of Cam Newton.Elway said he believes the offense can carry more of its weight this year after relying so heavily on Denvers destructive defense to bring home the franchises third Lombardi Trophy.Im excited about offense, Elway said. Were better in the offensive line, especially as we get healthier. Running back, I think were deeper at running back. Our receivers are still good. I think we have a chance to be better offensively with a good balanced attack and have Trevor come in, play well and do the things that he can do.Last year, the Broncos put their 39-year-old QB in the pistol or shotgun, which limited their ground game and play-action possibilities. Now, theyre back to the run-heavy approach that Kubiak has employed most of his career, one that features roll-outs, bootlegs, sprint-outs and plenty of hand-offs.Weve got a lot more things that we can do with the running game now, Elway said. Weve got a fullback that can really play in (Andy) Janovich and who does a great job. It gives us a lot of different options.Elway suggested this new offense will take some pressure off Miller & Co.It gives us a better chance to be better on defense, Elway said, because if we can stay on the field and pick up some third downs and keep those guys rested on the defensive side, weve got a chance to be better there, too.The biggest change is Siemian under center. The former Northwestern QB beat out Mark Sanchez with steadiness and spunk.Im not trying to be Peyton, Siemian said. I could probably get in a lot of trouble trying to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.Elway said Siemian has the right mental makeup to succeed Manning: He handles the huddle very well. The guys like him, they respect him and believe in him.Siemian served as the Broncos No. 2 QB for the seven weeks Osweiler started while Manning was sidelined in 2015.Trevor has a chance to be successful because even though hes essentially a rookie as far as play time, hes got the feel and knows what its all about, Elway said. That experience he had last year is going to help him tremendously this year.Game notes Thomas (offense), DeMarcus Ware (defense) and CB Kayvon Webster (special teams) were elected captains. ...

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. Orlando Cepeda Jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. http://www.baseballbravesproshop.com/mike-foltynewicz-braves-jersey/ . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments.

Dansby Swanson Jersey . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were sorely missed throughout the game during their 2016 injury absences.But perhaps none more so than by Novak Djokovic, his?coach has suggested.Novak is a competitor at heart -- if I have one guy who has to play for my life, I would pick Djokovic. Thats how much I trust him, Boris Becker said in an interview with CNN. But he didnt have any opponents anymore. His time was with Nadal, with Federer.The Serb swept all before him in the first six months of 2016; after winning the Australian Open and titles at Qatar, Indian Wells, Miami and Madrid, Djokovic completed a career Grand Slam by beating Andy Murray in the French Open final in June.However, Murray managed to overturn a gap of more than 8,000 points to leapfrog Djokovic as No. 1 in the rankings by the end of the Paris Masters earlier this month.Andy was always the fourth guy, so [Djokovic] lost a little bit of his opponents, added six-time major winner Becker. Murray is showing something he hasnt shown before.The Scot claimed the year-end No. 1 ranking by crushing Djokovic for his first World Tour title Sunday in London. Djokovic and his camp were frustrated and disappointed, according to Becker, after the SSerb committed 30 unforced errors in a straight-sets defeat.ddddddddddddThis could be possibly a turnaround for Novak Djokovics 2017, said Becker. As much as this loss is going to hurt him, its probably going to inspire him to be remotivated, re-energized for next year. Maybe it was a good thing in the end.Becker believes Djokovic was guilty of playing a bit casually in Shanghai and Paris but paid tribute to Murray, who won both tournaments during a personal-best win streak encompassing five titles and 24 matches.?His pinnacle was winning the French Open and winning four majors in a row, Becker said. Naturally, his motivation was a bit off afterwards. He really didnt know what the next big goal would be. And then a guy called Andy Murray didnt lose another match the whole indoor season.People only talk about Andy Murrays last six months but youve got to give him credit -- he was in the final of the Australian Open, the final of the French Open, he won Olympic gold. He really turned on the form when he had the sniff of the No. 1 ranking, and
