finitely have improvements on things, butORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The big blue, wobbly tackling dummies didnt stand a chance once Bills rookie linebacker Shaq Lawson came out punching during his first practice in five months on Wednesday.Lining up at the far end of the field, Lawson hit the first dummy with his left fist before rearing back and hitting the next one with a hard right, eventually leaving all four of them rocking back and forth in his wake.It was a fitting moment for Lawson, who saw it as an opportunity to test the strength of his surgically repaired shoulder.It was also a chance for Lawson to vent any lingering frustrations after the Bills decided he required surgery in May when the first-round draft pick aggravated the injury during a similar drill at rookie minicamp.Yeah, I did hit the bag hard, Lawson said. I wanted to test it out a little bit. But it felt great. Everything.The next test is seeing how one of college footballs top pass-rushers last year might fair against opposing NFL linemen in an actual game, and when that opportunity might come.Though cleared for practice, Lawson remains on the physically unable to perform list. Under NFL rules, the Bills have three weeks to activate Lawson or place him on season-ending injured reserve.Coach Rex Ryan hasnt entirely ruled out Lawson from playing Sunday, when the Bills (4-2) travel to face AFC East rival Miami (2-4). Ryan, however, noted he doesnt want to rush back a player after only a few practices.Were going to err on the side of caution, Ryan said. But if hes ready to roll and we feel great about it, he feels great about it, the doctors feel great about it, then lets let it rip.Whenever Lawson is activated, hell be eased in as a backup on a defense that has proved capable of generating a pass rush without him.The Bills are second in the NFL with 20 sacks, one fewer than the team had all last season. And theyre led by 10-year journeyman Lorenzo Alexander , who has an NFL-leading eight sacks while filling the starting spot once reserved for Lawson.Lawsons fine with whatever role hes assigned, and eager for the opportunity to contribute to Buffalos potent pass rush.Those two guys are just unstoppable, Lawson said, referring to Alexander and fellow starter Jerry Hughes, who has four sacks. Us three on the field, it might be special.Lawson hasnt played a competitive snap since capping his college career at Clemson with two sacks in a 45-40 loss to Alabama in the national championship game in January.As a junior last season, he was a consensus All-American for leading the nation with 25+ tackles for a loss and added 12+ sacks. Overall, Lawson had 20 sacks in 40 games despite playing with the right shoulder injury for much of his college career.It wasnt until the NFL combine in February when Lawson said tests revealed he had a torn ligament. The Bills were aware of the injury when they selected him with the 19th pick.Rather than risk Lawson aggravating the injury, the Bills took the precautionary step in electing him having surgery for the chance to have him healthy by October.It was a good decision. If I never got it repaired, and something happened during the season, I wouldve missed the whole season, Lawson said. I feel stronger than Ive ever been since I had the injury 3+ years ago.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Air Max 90 Shoes Australia .

Discount Air Max 90 Australia . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The season has been bad enough for the Arizona Cardinals. A loss at home to San Francisco would have made it so much worse.Chandler Catanzaro, the kicker who cost the Cardinals two victories this season, came through this time with a 34-yard field goal as the game ended for a 23-20 victory on Sunday.The close loss was of no consolation to 49ers coach Chip Kelly, whose team has lost eight in a row since winning its opener.Every loss hurts, he said. I dont know how youre wired, but Im not a big fan of losing.The Cardinals, coming off a bye week following a one-sided loss at Carolina, jumped to a 14-0 lead and were up 20-10 at the half before Colin Kaepernick brought the 49ers back.We have to do a better job when you get a decisive lead in the National Football League, said Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who kept moving up the NFL all-time lists with 12 catches for a bruising 133 yards. Fourteen points-plus, you would like to be able to put teams away.Still, it was a victory that brought Arizona (4-4-1) back to .500 with a rough schedule ahead. Five of its final seven games are on the road, beginning next Sunday night at Minnesota.If Arizona hadnt won on Sunday, coach Bruce Arians said, Its over, you know?Its over if you dont win at home. It really is, he said. Now its where it needs to be.Here are some things to consider from the Cardinals victory.KAPS PLAY: Kaepernick had another strong performance in his fourth start since taking over at quarterback from Blaine Gabbert.Kaepernick completed 17 of 30 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown and ran 10 times for 55 yards, including a 4-yard scamper for a touchdown that tied the game with 1:55 to play.Its grown and grown, Kaepernick said of his familiarity with Kellys offense. The more reps I get, the more comfortable I get in this offense.BATTERED FITZ: Fitzgerald took some rough hits in yet another big game against San Francisco.One time he was flipped over backward, landing on the back of his neck.Ive been better, said Fitzgerald, who already was dealing with knee and ankle soreness. Im good enough to go. This is Week 9 in the National Football League, everybody is dealing with something.dddddddddddd You tape it up.STOPPING JOHNSON: The 49ers shut down the Arizona ground game after entering the contest ranked dead last in the NFL in run defense at 193 yards per game.The Cardinals managed just 80 yards, averaging 3.5 per attempt. David Johnson gained 55 yards in 19 carries, an average of 2.9 per attempt.There were no great schematic changes, San Francisco safety Antoine Bethea said.Same play calling, same people out on the field, he said. We just executed better.Johnson still managed to top 100 yards from scrimmage, barely, for the ninth game in a row and scored both Arizona TDs.NELSONS WOES: It was a tough day for Arizonas diminutive receiver, J.J. Nelson.He fumbled away a punt return and, in the second half, a pass bounced off his fingers and into the hands of the 49ers Eric Reid.Unfortunately, that is the game, quarterback Carson Palmer said. Hes made plenty of big plays. Were expecting him to make big plays. Weve got two huge road trips against two very good defenses and J.J. is going to make plays when he needs to. Theres ups, theres downs, theres ebbs and flows to games. Hell bounce back.AIR ARIZONA: The Cardinals had become a run-oriented team through the first half of the season, but with that shut down on Sunday, they took to the air.Palmer completed 30 of 49 passes for a season-high 376 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice.Carson did a great job distributing the football around, Fitzgerald said, making good decisions, finding some guys and we got some big chunks on some pass interferences as well. It was nice to be able to have some explosiveness -- something coach has really challenged us skill players on.Two players topped 100-yards receiving: Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, who had five catches for 101 yards, including a leaping grab on the drive for the game-winning field goal.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
