FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Devin McCourty wont allow himself to get caught up in Peyton Mannings pre-snap antics on Sunday.New Englands Pro Bowl safety cant afford to. Hell end up losing.I would say the chess game is pretty one-sided. Its like being a kid going against a father in chess, McCourty said of trying to anticipate Mannings moves. Hes a very smart quarterback. He knows what he wants to do. Most of the time he knows what the defence is in, so if what he had planned isnt going to work, hes going to get the offence in something else.You dont want to try to overthink yourselves and really dont want to try to outsmart Peyton Manning.Its been quite some time since anybody has done that.New Englands second-ranked passing defence gets its chance Sunday afternoon when Manning and the Denver Broncos (6-1) travel to Gillette Stadium for a midseason showdown with the Patriots (6-2).Seven teams have tried to slow down Manning this season. None have succeeded. In Denvers only loss, Seattle held Manning to 303 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.One of the best quarterbacks in history weve got to face and he doesnt make it easy. He wants to make sure theyre in the perfect play every snap, said Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork. We have to play an A-plus game to be successful. Anything other than that, were going to have problems.Just ask the Chargers, 49ers, Jets or Cardinals, Mannings last four victims since his only loss of the year in the third game of the season.Since then, hes thrown 14 touchdown passes and sits near the top of league in almost every major passing category.But whats new?Obviously, hes a great quarterback — the best quarterback Ive coached against, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. I see no weaknesses in his game.The 16-year veteran, who two weeks ago set the new standard for passing touchdowns in a career, has thrown for 2,134 yards and 22 touchdowns, tied with Indianapolis Andrew Luck for the league lead. He has completed 69 per cent of his passes, the second-best rate in the league, and has been intercepted just three times while guiding the leagues highest-scoring offence at 32 points per game.He faces perhaps his stiffest test of the season this week, though, as New Englands defence is yielding just 211 passing yards per game and is the only unit in the league not to allow a completion of more than 40 yards.But as he typically does, Manning most likely will manoeuvr around that.It helps that he has one of the leagues most dangerous receiving corps with Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Wes Welker and tight end Julius Thomas.Mix in running back Ronnie Hillman and the Patriots defence is in for one of its tallest tasks of the year.Isnt it the most prolific offence in the history of the NFL — last year and then you bring most of those weapons back this year and then add Emmanuel Sanders? McCourty said. I guess you can go back and forth and debate, but the offence is probably a little better than it was last year and it was easily the best offence in the NFL last year.Manning most definitely will make his checks at the line of scrimmage, reading the defence and screaming out audibles before almost every snap, but dont expect McCourty or Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis to enter into a guessing game with the chess master.Youve always got to be careful with thinking you know something, thinking you know a check, McCourty said, then next thing you know an 80-yard pass is over your head.And dont think for one second that Manning has forgotten last seasons meeting at Gillette, when the Broncos jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead before falling 34-31 in overtime.McCourty knows that Manning will try and replicate what worked in that first half and change what didnt in the second.If you do something well, a teams probably going to come back to it in some shape or form, maybe not the same exact look, he said. But you always want to know how a team hurt you, and I think even though its hard to get a good beat for it, you still want to watch the film and see what theyre doing. Green Monday Ugg Boots Sale . On Wednesday the team announced a nine-year agreement to rename their rink Gila (pronounce hee-lah) River Arena.

.C. -- The buzz is back in Charlotte. Ugg Boots Green Monday Sale . There were limited chances until Borriello volleyed in a corner from in front of goal. "Both teams played with young players," Roma coach Rudi Garcia said via a translator. Ugg Boots For Womens On Sale . Ellsbury lined an RBI single on a 0-2 pitch to score Derek Jeter with the go ahead run in the eighth inning, and the Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Tuesday night. TORONTO, Ontario -- Coach Brent Sutter liked what he saw even if his Canadian junior team dominated the CIS Toronto Selects in exhibition play on Saturday afternoon. Connor McDavid, the 16-year-old prodigy who draws most of the attention, scored Canadas first goal and big Josh Anderson threw his weight around and scored as Canada downed the Selects 3-0. Left winger Charles Hudon finished it off with an empty-net goal in the final minute. "I was pleased with a lot of things," said Sutter. "There were times in the third where we have to be careful in our own zone. We cant be soft on pucks. We have to do everything hard and do it the right way. "But if you look at the opportunities we had. All three of their goalies played really well for them, but it was good to see. We did a lot of good things." Canada dominated the play and outshot the Selects 56-20. Sutter isnt worried that, considering the number of chances they produced, the finish around the net wasnt quite there yet. It was only the second day of a three-day camp at the Mastercard Centre to kick off preparations for the world junior championship that begins Dec. 26 in Malmo, Sweden. The team will have an off-ice workout Sunday morning before flying to Sweden, where they will play pre-tournament games against Finland, the Swedes and Switzerland before the real games begin. The team will take all 25 players from selection camp to Europe, with no cuts being made in Canada. "I know all these guys can score goals," said Sutter. "So its getting them to become a team first and foremost. Getting them to understand roles theyll have to play on this team and making sure everything is within the confines of how we want to play, our identity as a hockey team." There are 25 players in camp and the roster will be trimmed to 22 -- two goalies, seven defencemen and 13 forwards -- for the tournament. No cuts will be made until the squad gets to Sweden. They could come after the first pre-tournament game Dec. 20 against the Finns. Sutter had encouraging news on Jonathan Drouin, the gifted winger who is expected to be an offensive motor for Canada. The Halifax Mooseheads star, who suffered a concussion last week in Quebec Major Junior Hockey league play, was symptom free after riding a stationary bike and may be fit to resume skating when the team gets to Europe. "Well get him to go a little farther (on Sunday) and if that goes well, well get him on the ice when we go overseas," the coach said. The juniors owned the puck against the Selects, a team put together from three university squads, and Sutter gave plenty of ice time to the unit of McDavid, 2014 draft prospect Sam Reinhart and left winger Hunter Shinkaruk. McDavid is vying to become the sixth skater to play for Canadas world junior squad at 16, after Wayne Gretzky, Jason Spezza, Eric Lindros, Jay Bouwmeester and Sidney Crosby. He helped his bid with a strong effort against the Selects. "I was okay," the skinny, six-foot phenom saaid.dddddddddddd "I felt pretty good out there. "The pace was pretty good. The guys were a lot older, a lot bigger. I felt I had my legs. I felt the team played very well for our first game together. We didnt give up a whole lot defensively, which was good." Canada outshot the students 19-3 in the opening period and had Hudon, Reinhart and Curtis Lazar hit goalposts. Still, the Selects first-period goalie Garrett Sheehan kept it scoreless. The period offered several special teams situations, including one-man and two-man advantages and 4-on-4 play. McDavid and Reinhart got ice time in all of them. McDavid even played the right point on a two-man advantage. "That was a little different," the Erie Otters star said. "(Sutter) wants to try some things out. "I will do whatever he wants me to. It was nice to play the power play and everything like that. There are 15 other forwards that can do that. I just want to worry about keeping my play up." McDavid finally got a goal on a power play 13:37 into the second period against Andrew Perugini, and was dangerous around the net for most of the game. Asked about McDavid, Sutter grinned and said "he really did a good job." Then there was the six-foot-two Anderson, a Columbus Blue Jackets prospect who plays by the Brian Burke buzzword "truculence." He not only dished out checks, but got a goal 15 seconds into the third period, picking the top corner behind Troy Passingham after a feed from behind the net from Rychel. His line with Rychel and six-foot-four Frederik Gauthier also stood out. "As the game went on, that line really got their legs under them," said Sutter. "Theyre all big guys that can skate. "They play a heavy game. They get on the forecheck hard and theyre smart. Its nice to have that size on your team and who play that way." Hudon had a wild night, missing on two breakaways before finally picking off a cross-ice pass and going in alone to score the empty-netter. Zachary Fucale started for Canada and Jake Paterson took over at 10:06 of the second to share the shutout. Fucale had to be sharp on two chances by Andrew Buck early in the second after a turnover in Canadas end. "There wasnt that many shots, but I kept my focus and did some good things out there and thats what we want," said Fucale. "The team played well in front of me, which made it easy on me," said Fucales camp roommate Paterson. "But all in all it was a good game." Normally, Canada has its goalies play for both teams when it faces a CIS squad, but Sutter said he didnt want his goalies playing against each other. Notes: Canada scratched four players -- Griffin Reinhart, Bo Horvat, Josh Morrissey and Nic Petan. Sutter said Morrissey came to camp with soreness from an injury and they opted to rest him. The other were players who are all-but locks to make the team . . The CIS team was made up of players from York, Toronto and Ryerson universities.
