SAN DIEGO -- Chargers coach Mike McCoy caught himself while talking about the opening practice of training camp.It sure is nice to get back on the field with everybody and get all 90 guys -- or 89, I should say -- out here practicing, McCoy said Saturday.The one missing, of course, is first-round draft pick Joey Bosa. He remains unsigned due to a dispute over how his signing bonus will be disbursed.He definitely needs to be out here as a rookie, McCoy said. Well just keep on working at that and eventually itll be done. He needs to be here, especially as a younger player, with installations and playing with your teammates and things like that. Were going to coach the ones who are here.Until Bosa signs, other young players will have to take advantage of increased practice time.Youve got to make the most of every single opportunity, McCoy said. When he gets back, someones reps are going to get cut back, so its an important couple of days for some younger players to step in and do their job.One of Bosas agents, Tom Condon, has sparred with the Chargers before, most famously in 2004 when he told them the Manning family preferred that they not take Eli with the first pick in the draft. The Chargers did anyway, and then traded Manning to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers. Other big-name Condon clients LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees andThe Chargers are trying to bounce back from a 4-12 season that included losing every game against AFC West rivals.They also hope to play well before Election Day, when voters will be asked to approve an increase in the hotel tax to help pay for a new downtown stadium. The measure is considered a longshot, especially in the wake of team chairman Dean Spanos failed attempt to move to Los Angeles and build a new stadium with the rival Oakland Raiders.McCoy defended Melvin Gordon when asked the difference in the running back from the end of last season, which ended with a knee injury that required microfracture surgery. Gordon, San Diegos first-round draft pick in 2015, failed to score a touchdown or have a 100-yard game. He lost four of his six fumbles and was benched twice.Im going to make one thing clear about Melvin -- ts not Melvin Gordon, the running game, McCoy said. Lets make that clear right now. I want to stop talking about him individually and things like that. In order for Melvin Gordon to have success in our system, OK,, the other 10 guys have to do their jobs better. And Melvins got to do his job better. Hell tell you some things he has to clean up. But I get a little sick of talking about just one guy on offense when here are 10 other guys out there. I want to make sure from Day One the entire team has got to run the ball better and weve got to do a better job on defense on stopping the run. But he looked great today.McCoy said he was very pleased where he is in his attitude, his mindset, but really looking forward to seeing him play this year.Gordon said he feels more confident about himself and the playbook.Gordon worked out in Houston with, among others, Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings.Gordon said he tries not to think of his knee.Im just at the point right now. Im just trying to get better for the team. Im not thinking about any of that. He said.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Roberto Luongo Jersey .

MacKenzie Weegar Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. Aleksander Barkov Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. Middlesbrough will be expecting to maintain their strong start to the Premier League season when they welcome struggling Crystal Palace to the Riverside on Saturday.Boro (1-2-0) are yet to be beaten in theIR first top-flight campaign for eight years, but defender Dani Ayala insists that the players arent feeling overconfident. Theyll look to extend that run when they face a Palace side who have managed just a single goal in their opening three matches.We have five points from three games, but we know it is just the start, Ayala said. In this league you can lose games in the blink of an eye.You are coming up against the best strikers. If you lose the ball you know they are going to score. We have to keep getting points -- we cant rest on our laurels.Boros chances against Palace (0-1-2) will be improved with the availability of summer signings Marten de Roon and Victor Valdes after the pair recovered from injuries that have kept them out since the opening weekendThankfully, they are OK and ready to play, manager Aitor Karanka said. Its really good news because we have a nice problem to choose the best 11, and the best seven for the bench.All of (the players) deserve to be involved, but they understand that we have to think about the best for the team.However, Boro still will have some absentees with Grant Leadbitter out until December with a hernia and James Husband still recovering from a dislocated shoulder.Saturdays visitors to Teesside have enjoyed a disappointing start to the campaign, failing to find the net against West Brom and Tottenham Hotspur on the opening two matchdays before grinding out a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth prior to the international break.ddddddddddddKeen to add some leadership to a rudderless squad, Palace manager Alan Pardew has brought in free agent and former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini this week -- a decision that the coach thinks could really benefit the team.I thought it was important to get another midfield player, Pardew said. His playing ability will help us but also his leadership qualities and his ability of how to win games in a passing style. I am delighted that we have secured a player of his stature.Flamini could be in line to make an immediate debut due to doubts over the fitness of fellow central midfielders James McArthur and Yohan Cabaye. Bakary Sako is also a doubt for the Eagles, but forward Loic Remy -- on loan from Chelsea -- is definitely out.New Boro striker Alvaro Negredo has been involved in all three of his sides goals so far this season (one goal and two assists), whereas Palace new boy Christian Benteke failed to score on his debut for the club. The Belgium international was also called offside five times against Bournemouth, giving him the highest number in the division despite only playing a single match.Saturdays meeting will be the first top-flight clash between the two in over a decade. Middlesbrough won both games the last time these two were in the Premier League, and Palace have never picked up three points at the Riverside in five attempts.
