Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley knows his way around a form guide.And hes well aware the struggling Power could go into Saturdays AFL clash as the biggest underdogs in Showdown history when they take on the third-placed Adelaide Crows, whose performances in recent weeks have been nothing short of menacing.But Hinkley, a self-confessed punter who races greyhounds in his spare time, reckons its not always wise to back favourites, pointing to Australias underwhelming performance at the Rio Olympics.Roughies get up, he said on Friday at the traditional pre-Showdown press conference with Crows coach Don Pyke.Its not unusual. Weve seen that just recently in the Olympic Games, I reckon.Things dont always go to plan.Im sure Don and the boys are hoping it goes to plan. Were going to do everything we can to disrupt that.An upset win for 11th-placed Port would bring some much-needed cheer to supporters after a season in which they have badly underperformed, last weekends 40-point home loss to Melbourne which extinguished their slim finals chances, a case in point.Port will line up without star forward Chad Wingard (hamstring), Hamish Hartlett (calf) and Billy Frampton (groin), who have all been ruled out for the rest of the season.Spearhead Charlie Dixon will also miss as the side manages an ongoing ankle injury but remains a chance for the Powers final game against Gold Coast.Jake Neade and Jimmy Toumpas return, as will veteran forward Jay Schulz for what Hinkley admits could be the 31-year-olds final game at Adelaide Oval.He may look back on this game and say that was his last game, Hinkley said.I hope thats not the case.Its still a list management decision that we wont enter into until the end of the season.Adelaide are firming as premiership contenders, having boosted their percentage with thumping recent wins against Fremantle, Brisbane and Essendon.Pyke said the Crows had earned their favouritism for the Showdown and denied his players were underprepared after winning their past three by a combined 292 points.Every game of AFL footys hard, thats the thing, Pyke said.The results in the last few weeks suggest weve had an easier run but I can guarantee you at times in all three of those games, weve been challenged, weve had to learn some things and weve had to adapt to play the way we want to play.The Crows have recalled 203cm ruckman Sam Jacobs after he missed two games with an ankle complaint, with impressive rookie Reilly OBrien omitted.

Richard Sherman Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. 12th Fan Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis stood at his locker for the second time in three days, rehashing one of the worst days of his NFL career.Seeing the New York Jets star cornerback get burned time and again by Cincinnatis A.J. Green on Sunday was stunning. The whispers about whether Revis shutdown skills have suddenly diminished have also grown louder.Im fine, Revis insisted Tuesday. Passes get caught, and theyve gotten caught on me before and touchdowns have been scored on me. Its just getting back to the Xs and Os of things and just correcting certain things, and thats just about it.Green caught 12 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals 23-22 victory, mostly with Revis on him. The most eye-popping of all was the 54-yarder Green caught from Andy Dalton, with Revis trailing him into the end zone.It was easy to point the finger at the cornerback, but it wasnt entirely Revis fault. He was supposed to have safety help on the play, but it never came. And, it cost the Jets -- and set the tone for an uncharacteristically long day for Revis.Most of those plays, I was right there, Revis said. The busted coverage, Im supposed to get help, but at the same time, it is what it is. Like Ive said, I can take a punch.Still, it was strange to see so many plays being made against him, especially when the Jets implied last week that Revis wouldnt be the only one responsible for Green.Revis said its not weird to be fielding so many questions about what went wrong and what needs to be fixed.Because Ive been through the trenches, he said. You bounce back. Thats all you can do. Just bounce back.Is he feeling good about being able to bounce back Thursday night against Buffalo?Im very confident, he said. Like I said, Ive been through the trenches. Its nothing new.Revis could face Sammy Watkins, who is dealing with discomfort in his surgically repaired left foot but said hell be fine to play. In last seasons finale, Watkins finished with 11 catches for 136 yards while mostly going up against Revis. In the teams first meeting, Revis helped hold Watkins to just three catches for 14 yards.I got him the first game, but I dont even look at it like that, Revis said. My job is to keep guys to the minimum if Im covering them, the minimum catches -- and thats what you want from the whole secondary, all of us.But for most of his 10 seasons, Revis has been almost automatic when it comes to keeping othher teams top receivers off the stats sheet and out of the end zone.ddddddddddddThe first real sign of a crack in the foundation was Houstons DeAndre Hopkins catching five passes for 118 yards and two scores last November, with Revis on him most of the game.The fact his past two games have not been vintage Revis has led some to question whether Revis Island is gone -- maybe forever.Everybodys going to be down on Revis because he has a poor game or whatever, said Buffalo coach Rex Ryan, who coached Revis for four years with the Jets. The thing about Revis is, if hes slipped at all as a player, hes coming down from the very tip of Everest. Thats where hed be coming down from.So how far down, Im not sure. But I know one thing: I know the kind of player he is.Jets coach Todd Bowles acknowledged that Revis, who continued his tradition of practicing this summer in sweats and multiple layers to get in shape, has the freedom to play press-man or off coverage on every play, leaving it up to his star cornerback.Hes pretty sharp mentally, Bowles said, and understands how people are trying to come at him.During his one season with New England in 2014, Revis was often used one-on-one on opponents No. 2 receivers while Bill Belichick double-teamed the No. 1s.Weve done it before and weve looked at it, Bowles said if thats something he has considered. Weve talked about it. Certain games will require that.Despite his most recent performances and the increasing doubts from outside the Jets facility, Revis says theres no added motivation.No, Im fine, man, he said. Its a long season. Nobody, we as a team, can dwell on Sunday. Weve got to move forward. Theres a quick turnaround and we play Thursday, so weve got to move on.Game notes The Jets waived TE Braedon Bowman to make room on the roster for DL Sheldon Richardson, who returned from his one-game suspension Monday. ... LB Jordan Jenkins (calf) and QB Bryce Petty (right shoulder) did not practice, and neither is expected to be available Thursday. DE Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle, toe nail removed), LB Bruce Carter (shoulder), LB David Harris (shoulder) and CB Darryl Roberts (foot) were limited.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow in Orchard Park, New York, contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
