how all the women in the locker room feel. To be No. 2 among a giant rost
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A day after the most embarrassing loss in his NFL tenure, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley still had a job.And it seemed to be causing him some angst.Bradley expressed frustration Friday with his teams lack of discipline during a 36-22 drubbing at Tennessee , which came five days after an equally humbling home loss to Oakland.Rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey was penalized for hitting a player well out of bounds in the first quarter and defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. was flagged for throwing a punch early in the second.Theres never an excuse for not playing with great effort, Bradley said during a conference call with reporters. We wont, cannot and will not tolerate lack of discipline, things under our control. We have a standard that we place. If youre not meeting that standard, get your butt going.The Jaguars (2-5) got their butts kicked in prime time Thursday night, showing little skill and even less self-control in losing to one of the franchises former coaches for the second straight week. It dropped Bradleys career record to 14-41 in three-plus seasons in Jacksonville. Owner Shad Khan decided against making a coaching change Friday, and Bradley vowed to keep his staff status quo during the small break.The Jaguars play at Kansas City on Nov. 6.Its uncertain whether Bradley will make any major adjustments before then. What is clear is his dissatisfaction with penalties, including Fowlers penchant for committing silly ones.Its selfish and with those acts there are consequences, Bradley said. I mean every player is different. I mean if theres a guy thats really riled up, Im not going to put him in the situation where hes going to hurt the team. So I think to say that everybody is treated equally, well every situation is different, and knowing the players and knowing where theyre at and thats the decision I have to make.Fowlers flag turned a 15-yard completion into a 30-yard play and helped the Titans build a 17-0 lead. Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, was benched for the remainder of the half. He has been flagged eight times this season, including twice for personal fouls.The antics came just five days after a late meltdown against the Raiders. Receiver Marqise Lee was flagged for using a racial slur. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson was ejected after picking up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, including one for using abusive language toward an official. And Ramsey was tossed for fighting.Guys got to make smart decisions, Bradley said. You dont want them to play with anxiety and be uptight and think that everything they do wrong theyre going to get yanked out of the game. But they also have to understand that things that affect our team, and ones that are under their control, at times, have consequences and theyve got to do right and theyve got to make smart decisions. I think were more going about it that way.Regardless, the bigger issue is figuring out how Jacksonville was flat and listless for the second straight week. Players looked uninspired, digging themselves another early hole and showing little, if any, ability to climb out. They trailed 27-0 at halftime, and although the offenses ineptitude was no surprise, the defense gave up 354 yards.And that happened three days after Khan addressed players and coaches for the second time in less than a month.On Friday, Bradley met with his team without the owner present. Bradley still believes in his players and insists they need to play looser and with more poise.I think the way you lay it out to get that anxiety out is that when you believe in people, you have to be honest with them, Bradley said. It was a very honest meeting. And I think when they know, clearly understand the expectations and whats ahead of them, you relieve some of that.---More AP NFL: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale NCAA Jerseys .

The WWE, as we know it, is about to undergo a major facelift.Again.For the first time since 2011, the WWE will implement a brand extension (or brand split), separating its roster into two competing shows: the flagship three-hour Raw on Monday nights, and SmackDown, which will air live for the first time after moving to a new night on Tuesday.This weeks debut of SmackDown Live (8 p.m. ET, USA Network) will be a special one with the return of the WWE Draft.In some ways, the change of direction within the promotion is a return to old, with the WWE having utilized a draft of some form on an annual basis between 2002 and 2011. This one, however, feels fresh and new, with the WWEs decision to withhold key details (including the title structure and how the two brands will intertwine on pay-per-view) adding to the anticipation for fans and performers.Every time that Ive done a draft, it has always been the most nerve-wracking, unexpected thing I have ever been involved with in the WWE, The Miz, the WWEs Intercontinental champion, told ESPN.com. It changes not only your life and your career but it just changes everything about the dynamic of WWE in general.While its sometimes hard to decipher between whats truth and whats a work when WWE performers speak outside of the ring, both The Miz and WWE womens champion Charlotte said on Monday that they remain in the dark about their future ahead of Tuesday night. The feeling, the Miz said, is reminiscent of his first draft in 2006.We had a show called ECW and there was a supplemental draft the next day, The Miz said. I found out on WWE.com that I was being drafted and was like, Oh, all my friends knew before I did. Thats how secretive it is. No one knows exactly where they are going. Not one superstar.One of the main reasons for excitement entering this years draft is the promotions depth, helped by an influx of young talent from developmental third brand NXT. With the brand split creating a need for more proven talent, the WWE has also made a pointed effort to acquire top superstars from rival promotions such as A.J. Styles, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura.What that means is a much bigger emphasis on the keyword at hand -- opportunity -- which is something that was echoed by Charlotte, the daughter of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, who has become the face of the rebranded WWE womens division.I think it keeps everyone on their toes, Charlotte said. Its opportunity -- there are more slots and there are more players. Im just more excited to see what brand Im going to be with, and then look at it as an opportunity to make the most of it and become a major player. Especially with new talent coming up from NXT, thats definitely going to mix things up a bit.WWE released a partial set of draft rules on Sunday. With more time to fill more than three hours, Raw will not only receive the first overall pick, it will make three selections for every two of SmackDown Live, which remains two hours long. In addition, tag teams will count as one pick unless a commissioner or general manager of a specific brand wants only one member.The WWE also announced a total of six selections will be made from the NXT roster. Paul Heyman, the on-screen advocate for Brock Lesnar, told ESPN.com in June that the NXT factor will be one of the biggest components to the drafts impact.You are going to have a whole bunch of new opportunities for people to move up into the main event mix just by the very nature of Raw and Smackdown having an exclusive roster, Heyman said. As we saw with the debut of The Shield a few years ago, you can get a lot of people into that mix very, very fast if they seize the moment of opportunity which is given.From a storyline standpoint, the two brands will take on differrent identities with sibling rivals Stephanie (Raw) and Shane McMahon (SmackDown) serving as commissioners.ddddddddddddThe babyface-run SmackDown will play the underdog, helped by the addition of retired fan favorite Daniel Bryan as general manager. Mick Foley, meanwhile, will be the GM of Raw, which will likely have a more heel-centric approach due to Stephanie McMahons membership in The Authority.WWE chairman and patriarch Vince McMahon has preached to his on-screen hope that his children and their respective shows would truly compete against each other, which mirrors WWEs real-life expectations for the brand split.SmackDown has to come across as a brand that is truly competing with Monday Night Raw, Heyman said. If the brand is not competitive with WWE in terms of talent, production, look, presentation and just in terms of the manner in which the announcers get to describe the product, its doomed. But I dont see it going down that way.Vince thrives on competition. Just like he did in 2002, when there is no one out there competing with Vince McMahon, he will create his own competition.McMahon bought out chief rival WCW in 2001 and created the original brand extension the following year in hopes of manufacturing an in-house version of The Monday Night Wars. While the results were never quite as intended, the time appears ripe to try it again, provided the WWE has learned from its mistakes after the first go around.A major byproduct of splitting up the rosters, according to The Miz, is the pride for your brand that extends into the locker room.We are so competitive here in the WWE, The Miz said. You want to be No. 1 and want to beat the other person whether you are looking at ratings, merchandise sales or people coming to the building. You are looking at who is really reacting to the superstars better. You are looking at every little aspect of everything there is.Although the scripted draft will ultimately play out however WWEs creative team decides, the true reflection it provides regarding each performers overall value wont be lost on the participants.The Miz, who slipped into character long enough to declare he expects to be selected first overall, looks at the top draft choice as essentially the highest honor in sports entertainment. He also didnt take kindly to news that he was drafted 17th overall in a recent ESPN.com mock draft.You can look at it as the No. 1 pick is basically the most important [superstar] and will be the hub of Raw or SmackDown Live, The Miz said. But being No. 17 is a slap in the face to me. So if Shane or Stephanie thinks that I should be 17 then I might as well just call it a career because I value myself so much higher.There are going to be a lot of people very angry and a lot of people very happy with their draft position. Make no mistake about it -- we are all in competition to be No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. We all want to be a high draft pick. No one wants to be the last guy picked -- Mr. Irrelevant, if you will.Charlotte, who said she was honored by being selected No. 2 overall in the ESPN.com mock draft, considers it an illustration of just how far the WWE womens division has come in a short time, referencing the pride she takes in having her title changed from diva to superstar.It just goes to show that the women are a huge part of what we do and are being focused on more and more storylines, Charlotte said. Usually there are two matches on Raw and now with the brand split, who knows? Im looking to main event a pay-per-view and I know thats how all the women in the locker room feel. To be No. 2 among a giant roster just goes to show the women are important. ' ' '
