OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens fielded the same offensive line in their first three games. They won all of them.Then injuries started happening, and the rapport the quintet established was no longer viable. Not entirely by coincidence, Baltimore lost four in a row to fall below .500.Although the Ravens (5-4) have won two straight to take over first place in the AFC North, the shuffling of their offensive line remains a steady constant. After losing rookie guard Alex Lewis to a high ankle sprain, Baltimore will field a different offensive line for the eighth time in eight games Sunday in Dallas.Not ideal, coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. Youd like to have continuity with your offensive line -- working together on those combination blocks, the calls, being on the same page.Center Jeremy Zuttah is the only player on the line to play the same position in all nine games. Five-time Pro Bowl right guard Marshal Yanda has missed three of the last four games with a shoulder injury; top draft pick Ronnie Stanley (foot) missed four straight starts at left tackle; and now Lewis will be lost for at least six weeks after being hurt in last Thursday nights 28-7 win over Cleveland.Its a wonder quarterback Joe Flacco can still walk after operating behind a makeshift front thats yielded 20 sacks and created precious few holes for the leagues 28th-ranked rushing attack.Anytime you have moving parts on a team it takes a lot of work together to get it right, Flacco said. But the guys in there are fighting, and thats all you ask for. It hasnt been perfect, and weve got to get better. Ive got to be better at dealing with some things.At the end of the day, were probably going to have to learn to live with one or two mistakes a game and expect to be good enough at the little things to overcome them. Thats just where we are right now.Yanda participated in practice Wednesday and could return to face the Cowboys (8-1). Before his recent absence he played in 53 consecutive games.If you keep the same five guys for a long time, thats a real good thing. But the reality is that injuries happen, Yanda said. Were just trying to put the best five guys out there week to week. That changes sometimes.This year, its happened a lot.Youve just got to roll with the punches and do your job no matter what happens. Thats just the sport, Stanley said. Its definitely easier to have someone youve been playing with because you build chemistry over a period of time. But people are going to get hurt, and you have to be ready for it.For the Ravens, its next man up -- at just about any time and on any place on the line.If you had your way, youd have the same five guys out there, right tackle James Hurst said. But weve got a really good group thats willing to put in the extra time to make it work.In addition to playing special teams, Ryan Jensen has started twice at right guard and at left guard this season. He also stepped in last month after right tackle Rick Wagner was injured.Since Ive been here we havent had issues like this with injuries and stuff like that, said Jensen, now in his third year with Baltimore. But weve found a way to figure it out and get it tuned up. Weve got a two-game winning streak, so were getting there.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Flyknit 2 Femme Pas Cher .

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.vapormaxpaschersoldes.fr/vente-air-vapormax-97.html .

Joe Schmidt has challenged Ireland to withstand a furious backlash from a fully-loaded All Blacks side seeking revenge in Dublin on Saturday.Head coach Schmidt has admitted Ireland caught New Zealand at an opportune time for their maiden victory over the All Blacks, the 40-29 win in Chicago on November 5.Steve Hansens back-to-back world champions were hamstrung by a host of second-row injury problems that day, but will have peerless lock Brodie Retallick back in his unique auxiliary playmaker role at the Aviva Stadium.Ireland boss Schmidt accepts that most neutrals expect New Zealand to exact a brutal revenge for that Soldier Field defeat when the teams meet again, but will still target another landmark performance from his side.I think theyll come full-strength, fully loaded; maybe we surprised them a little bit in Chicago, said Schmidt. I read that they didnt really look back too much at the defeat to us before playing Italy this weekend.Well they have that game done and now they will look at us over the next few days, and theyll have a really good plan. They are extremely well coached and incredibly well prepared physically, and I think the rate they play at if they have the ball, youre under pressure if theyve got it.And I think theyll have more access to it if theyve got their second row back.Ireland made history with their first win over New Zealand in 111 years of trying in the United States. Head coach Schmidt then made a full 15 changes to take on the worlds 18th-ranked side Canada. Ireland prevailed 52-21 in a comfortable but sloppy win that will ultimately hardly colour the All Blacks rematch. Schmidt will recall all his big guns to host New Zealand, while the visitors are expected to be far stronger themselves.Ireland ended New Zealands record 18-match winning sequence in Chicago, and now most neutrals will expect the All Blacks to assert their authority with victory in Dublin.Schmidt for one is intent on ignorring the outside perceptions this week, as Ireland seek a second quick-fire victory over their long-time bogey team.ddddddddddddSouth Africa were the last team to beat New Zealand in successive encounters, back in 2009, further emphasising the scale of Irelands challenge.When quizzed on the general expectations of a New Zealand victory on Saturday, Schmidt replied: Well I hope thats wrong.What we say is right, this is what we believe might work, lets commit to this then set about trying to put it together as best we can. Then we try to get less distracted by what our opponents are doing.We have an awareness of that, but ultimately our focus is on ourselves. If you spend too much time distracted externally youll maybe miss some of your precious preparation time.We probably got them at an opportune time in Chicago. Theyd had 18 wins in a row. While theyd spent a lot of time together, a lot of that time was with Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock at lock.They had that big reshuffle in the second row, and we won three line-out balls in the first half that gave us access to the ball and I thought we did well with it. Thats how we accumulated our points. Then even in the back-end of the game I think Ryan Crotty has been outstanding for them, hes been a real linchpin.Hes been the hub of their midfield both in attack and defence, organising and striking some really good lines. Losing him then losing George Moala as well, that allowed us to manage the end-game with a little more calmness.In advance a lot of people were referencing 2013 when we ran them so close in the 24-22 defeat in Dublin, but we didnt have that many similar starters and they had a lot of changes as well. Three years on it was difficult to use that as a reference point. But now theres a very close reference point for them to look at. ' ' '
