FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Bret Bielema talked throughout the offseason about the need to start the season well.After two losses in the last three games, the Arkansas coach is now counting on the No. 22 Razorbacks (4-2, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) to again finish strong if they hope to improve their win total for a fourth straight season.Arkansas most recent loss was a 49-30 setback to No. 1 Alabama last week, the schools 10th straight to the Crimson Tide. The Razorbacks also lost three weeks ago to No. 6 Texas A&M, and the schedule doesnt get any easier this week when they host No. 12 Mississippi (3-2, 1-1).Yeah, weve lost to two teams in the SEC West that are also two teams that are probably in the top five in the country by a lot of peoples perspective, Bielema said. The SEC West is pretty good, if you havent noticed.The last time Arkansas lost its first two SEC games was in 2014, when the school eventually lost its first five conference games on the way to an 0-13 start to Bielemas SEC career.That season, the Razorbacks recovered from their early woes by winning two of their final three SEC games and improving their overall record to 7-6 after winning only three games in Bielemas first season in 2013. Arkansas finished 8-5 last season, but that only came after a 2-4 start that was overcome by six wins in the Razorbacks final seven games.The quick start Bielema stressed was there this year, with three straight wins to open the season, but many in Arkansas are now questioning when -- and if -- the Razorbacks will win another game.At the beginning of the year, everybodys talking about how well were starting fast, Bielema said. Now, I guess weve got the midseason blues.Those blues have the very real possibility of extending into the second half of the season, especially if Arkansas doesnt improve its abysmal offensive line play.The Razorbacks allowed six sacks and 12 hurries of quarterback Austin Allen against the Crimson Tide, and their season total of 13 sacks allowed is only one away from how many the school has allowed in each of the last two seasons.Pass protection isnt the only area where the line is struggling, with Arkansas per-rush average down from 5 yards per carry a season ago to 4.4 this year.If the offensive line is going to improve, it will have to do so against an all-SEC schedule to close out the year. Following this weeks game against the Rebels, Arkansas has five more conference games -- against Auburn, Florida, LSU, Mississippi State and Missouri.Well just take every game as it comes, Bielema said. Obviously, six games in front of us (are) guaranteed and we want to concentrate on the bigger picture, but for us to get where we need to be we just need to worry about Ole Miss.Dalvin Tomlinson Cheap Jersey .

In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Oshane Ximines Youth Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.CLEVELAND -- His left arm hanging to his side, Josh McCowns eyes filled with tears as he talked about wanting to stay on the field for the Browns.McCown was badly bruised and beaten.And just two weeks into the season, Clevelands quarterback situation is beyond battered.Filling in for injured starter Robert Griffin III, McCown sustained a shoulder injury during a 25-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Although he stayed in despite being in pain, McCown couldnt lift his left arm and walked to the trainers room following his news conference with it pinned to his side.McCown said his plan is to play next week at Miami, but he would not divulge any test results or what hes been told by the medical staff, a sign that his injury could require him to miss some time.We will see, he said. My mindset is that everything will be all right and we will move ahead business as usual.But business, as it relates to quarterbacks in Cleveland, is anything but usual.After losing Griffin for at least eight games with a broken bone in his left shoulder, the Browns (0-2) felt fortunate to have the 37-year-old McCown to run their offense.However, now they may be forced to turn their offense over to rookie Cody Kessler next week or sign a more experienced quarterback.Making matters worse, the Browns said starting center Cam Erving suffered a bruised lung and will be held overnight at University Hospitals for observation. Erving, who was taken from FirstEnergy Stadium in an ambulance, will likely miss several games.This was not part of the plan during the offseason, when Clevelands new front office passed on a chance to take one of the top quarterbacks in the draft and decided to sign Griffin, who flamed out in Washington. Griffin, though, couldnt make it past Week 1 and now McCowns injury has Cleveland in a difficult predicament.Its been par for the course for an organization which has had 25 starting quarterbacks since 1999 and is undergoing the most massive rebuild in its history.Thee Browns have made bad decisions, no doubt.dddddddddddd But theyve also been plagued by bad luck.McCown had just thrown his second touchdown pass of the first quarter, giving Cleveland a stunning 20-0 lead, when he immediately ran to the locker room for evaluation.As Kessler was warming up on the sideline, McCown came back and returned to the game without missing a play.I think it is just not wanting to not be out there with your guys, said McCown, who became emotional while explaining his ability to push through injuries.I have a dad and an older brother who get up and go to work and sometimes they dont feel great and they go. They go and they grind. I have two little boys that are playing football now. They get hit and they get banged up, and I am trying to teach them what toughness means.For me, it is those things and just knowing the window for me right now and understanding that I dont want to miss snaps. I dont want to be out there without my guys.Unless it is going to fall off, lets try to make it work and make it go. That is my mentality.McCown didnt have anything to prove to his teammates, who have expressed their respect for him countless times in the past.Still, the sight of him taking hard hits and getting back up time after time furthered their admiration for him.We have to do everything we can to give him an extra second, an extra two seconds, strain, fight a little bit more to where hes not getting hit, not taking those unnecessary shots, guard John Greco said.There were a lot of plays where the ball got off, may have been a completion or incompletion, and then hes getting whacked. So weve got to do more. Weve got to fight harder, strain more, strain longer to keep him clean. The guys arm is hanging and hes in there.
