GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Coach Bruce Arians has accomplished a lot in his three seasons with the Cardinals.Beating Seattle in Arizona isnt one of them.That 0-3 record at home against the Seahawks was a major topic as the Cardinals prepared for the Sunday night matchup of two teams that have dominated the NFC West in recent years.Cornerback Patrick Peterson brought it up in the locker room moments after Arizonas 28-3 victory over the New York Jets on Monday night.The Cardinals have won two of their past three at Seattle, but the Seahawks have dominated the past three in Arizona by a combined score of 105-34.Asked if theres a common thread through those losses, Arians was characteristically blunt.Yeah, he said. They beat the (heck) out of us.There were some mitigating circumstances. The Cardinals were down to Ryan Lindley in a 35-6 loss late in the 2014 season. And Arizona already had clinched the No. 2 playoff berth before a 36-6 loss to Seattle last season.But another Seahawks victory this season would have a significant impact for both teams. Seattle would improve to 5-1, Arizona would drop to 3-4. A Cardinals win, on the other hand, would put Arizona just a half-game behind Seattle.This is a classic Western division matchup, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. We love it. Theyre a great team and they bring out the best in us.But Carroll scoffs at the suggestion that a Seattle victory would lock up the NFC West.Thats crazy to think that, he said. Thats not how it is. Its just one game, one week, and then theres a bunch of other games after that. Im not even going to answer that one.Here are some things to consider when the Seahawks come to Arizona.PALMERS HEALTH: Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer left late in the Jets game with a strained hamstring. He didnt practice Wednesday in what Arians told reporters was a scheduled day off. But the injury report listed a hamstring injury and he was listed as limited in practice on Thursday.After the Jets game, Palmer shrugged off the problem as simply a cramp.Palmer returned against New York after missing Arizonas victory over San Francisco because of a concussion.RUNNING NOWHERE: The Seahawks run game has not been up to Seattle standards.The Seahawks are averaging just 88.8 yards per game rushing. Thats 22nd in the NFL, but they are 30th in the league averaging a mere 3.2 yards per attempt.One of the big reasons is the lack of yards on the ground from quarterback Russell Wilson. Slowed by ankle and knee injuries, the Seahawks QB has just 35 yards rushing and no run longer than 9 yards.Seattle is hoping for a breakout against the Cardinals and past games show its possible. The Seahawks had 145 yards rushing in a Week 17 win at Arizona last season and two years ago rushed for 267 yards against the Cardinals, the ninth-most in franchise history.RUNNING EVERYWHERE: Arizona has relied heavily on the running game in consecutive victories over the 49ers and Jets. The Cardinals topped 170 yards rushing in consecutive games for the first time since 1988.David Johnson rushed for a combined 268 yards in the two games. With three scores against the Jets, the second-year running back leads the NFL in touchdowns with eight.But he will meet a fierce Seattle defense thats ranked No. 1 in the NFL (283.6 yards per game) and is third in rushing defense (74.6 yards per game).From the linebackers to the defensive line, its probably the best seven in football, Arizona offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin said.CARDINALS SACKS: Arizona is tied for third in the NFL with 19 sacks and the Cardinals have spread them around among seven players.Second-year outside linebacker Markus Golden leads the team with six. With a sack on Sunday night, he would join Simeon Rice (1999) and Freddie Joe Nunn (1988) as the only Cardinals with a sack in each of his first seven games of a season.SHOUTING SHERMAN: Richard Sherman insists he wouldnt change how he handled a sideline tirade in last weeks win over Atlanta.The Seahawks said there will be no carry-over from Shermans rant that took numerous players to calm down the standout cornerback.Sherman was livid about a blown coverage that allowed Julio Jones to run free for a 36-yard touchdown. Sherman erupted on the sideline, first at defensive coordinator Kris Richard and then at teammates.Seattle was able to recover, shutting out Atlanta in the fourth quarter and rallying for the victory.You go through that adversity so much as a team, as a family, you can reconcile it very quickly and get back to your purpose, wide receiver Doug Baldwin said.---AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Air Max 95 Free Shipping . 1 position.

"Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The setting, Madison Square Garden, seemed appropriate enough for Bill Self to propose his Kansas point guard attract more attention from NBA scouts.Senior Frank Mason just sank a winning pull-up jumper in the final seconds to defeat top-rated Duke in the Champions Classic, a victory that evened the No. 7 Jayhawks at 1-1 after opening with an overtime loss to Indiana in the Armed Forces Classic.Mason was brilliant in both games. Enough that Self knew to put the ball in Masons hands and let him take the shot that kept the Blue Devils matchup from also going into overtime.I think the NBAs missing the boat on him, Self said. He doesnt fit the eye test with length and standing (5-foot-11) and that kind of stuff, but hes got some things you cant teach and intangibles that are as good as anybody in America probably possesses.After netting a career-high 30 points in the Indiana defeat, Mason led Kansas with 21 points and five assists against Duke. The third-year starter has already gained the distinction as the Jayhawks go-to man entering their home opener Friday against Siena (1-1).By at least gaining a split of a season-opening salvo in which Kansas flew over the Pacific and also played near the Atlantic to confront two bluebloods of their ilk , the Jayhawks realized their potential as Big 12 favorites expected to vie for a Final Four berth.It will do something for us, because, for the first time, we won a game when we shot it like (garbage), Self said. He also noted that Duke did not get transition points and we controlled the glass. Its not that complicated.Certainly not if Mason continues a furious pace that finds him averaging 25.5 points, 7.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds over 37.5 minutes. This, despite sitting out some of the first half against Duke because of foul trouble.Freshmen also flashed more of their skills in the Duke win. Joshh Jackson, a 6-8 guard rated by some services as the top recruit in this years class, added 15 points.dddddddddddd Udoka Azubuike, a 7-foot, 280-pound man-child from Nigeria, grabbed 12 rebounds.Were not a great rebounding team by any stretch, Self said, and he gets 12 in 15 minutes and our other bigs get seven in 30. As he gets more comfortable, I certainly see his minutes going up. Hes going to be as important as anybody on our team in how good we can be.The Jayhawks have won 42 straight home openers. The game against Siena is officially part of the CBE Classic, which will find Kansas moving on to Kansas City, Mo., for a Nov. 21 game against UAB. Also that night, George Washington faces Georgia. The four-team bracket concludes Nov. 22.Siena was edged 77-75 by George Washington, the reigning NIT champion, on Nov. 15.The Saints had a chance to win at the buzzer, but sophomore guard Nico Clareth missed a 3-pointer. The loss began a stretch of four road games in eight days.Its a lot of travel and a lot of games, said Siena senior forward Brett Bisping, who averages a double-double (14.0 points, 10.5 rebounds). But its early in the season, so were not really worn down yet. I think well be ready to go.The Saints were picked second in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (behind Monmouth) after returning their five top scorers off last years 21-13 squad.Marquis Wright, a 6-1 senior guard, leads Siena with a 26-point average after matching his career-best with 31 points against Cornell in the season opener.I hope some of the younger guys see what Marquis does, Siena coach Jimmy Patsos said. Hes fiery. He keeps taking the big shot. But he plays defense, then he hustles, he comes over and he listens to me. Hes a complete player. ' ' '
