BEREA, Ohio -- Dressed in an orange jacket and matching orange shorts, Browns coach Hue Jackson is easy to spot on a practice field crowded with players, coaches, ball boys and onlookers.Standing in the middle of every drill on the first day of training camp, Jackson resembled a construction barrel -- perhaps a fitting comparison considering the reclamation project hes overseeing.Jackson is taking on the Browns, one of the NFLs worst teams who are on their eighth coach since 1999 and have had just two winning seasons since their expansion return 17 years ago.Its early, but theres something different about Jackson, who at age 50 has not lost an ounce of the enthusiasm that steered him toward a football life 29 years ago as a college graduate assistant at Pacific. The former Oakland head coach -- he led a talent-thin Raiders team to an 8-8 record in 2011 -- has impressed his players with a tough but fair attitude.Its always difficult to compare and contrast the coaches because I cant remember all of them in 10 years, cracked Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas, who is on his fifth head coach since 2007. But one thing I think all of the players have been drawn to Hue with has been his passion and his attention to detail. Hes not the type of head coach who wants to sit back and let his assistants do the coaching.Hes a guy that demands so much of his coaches that he actually wants to be in there doing the coaching himself. He cant help himself.Thats obvious while watching or listening to Jackson, a virtual chatter box during practice. Hes constantly offering players either a compliment or criticism. On Friday, Jackson laid into rookie quarterback Cody Kessler, stopping him from running a play with a profane outburst before making the third-round pick explain why he called out a particular formation.Theres no doubt the Browns are Jacksons team. He has far more experience than anyone in Clevelands revamped front office, which now includes Paul DePodesta, the teams chief strategy officer who first made his mark as a baseball analytics expert. Jackson wont have final say on roster decisions, which will be made collectively, but his voice will be the strongest and loudest on such matters.And while Jacksons message of a turnaround is a familiar one to Browns fans, who have heard catch phrases like its a process and we have to be patient before from his predecessors, some of his players believe a culture change is underway in Cleveland.Absolutely, its a palpable difference, said linebacker Paul Kruger, who signed with Cleveland in 2013 after winning a Super Bowl in Baltimore. Theres an energy here that I dont think Ive felt yet here. Its extremely positive, and I think that one of the best things that Hue brings to the table is that he unites. He unites the organization, the players, and I believe thats something that is rarer than youd think, a coach who can just unite the players and get everybody feeling the loyalty and the positivity.Thats what really inspires me the most about coach Jackson.Just the second coach hired by the Browns since `99 with NFL head coaching experience, Jackson has a proven track record of fixing quarterbacks and offenses. He spent the past four seasons in Cincinnati, where he coached running backs for two years before taking over as coordinator for one of the leagues most potent attacks.His new job is more daunting, and Jackson, who spent 14 years coaching in college before joining Washingtons staff as an assistant in 2001, only knows one way the Browns will succeed.Its just hard work, he said. Were going to put our head down and come out here and practice hard and then prepare hard and work our process and give us the best opportunity to win. I know that our staff and our players are going to do that and thats pretty important to me.Game notes For the second straight day in a row, inclement weather prevented the Browns from opening practice to the public for safety reasons. The team practiced in its indoor field house. ... Browns will be in full pads for the first time Sunday and Jackson promised, Were going to hit. Jackson plans to sound a siren during the workout and once its heard, anything goes. Jackson would not divulge any particulars about the contact drills but said were going to be bumping into each other.... DB Pierre Desir, who made six starts at cornerback last season, is getting a look at safety. ... Rookie WR Cory Coleman, the teams first-round draft pick, made several nice catches. Jackson said, Hes stacking good days together, hes just getting better.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Lakers Jerseys . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day.

A high-octane clash at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday ended in a 0-0 draw as neither Bournemouth nor Tottenham Hotspur could take control of the match and make one of their few chances count.The result meant that Spurs (5-4-0) failed to move to the top of the Premier League table alone, with the Cherries much the happier side to emerge with a point.The hosts played a high press from the start, and the first half saw a flurry of yellow cards as late tackles flew in from both sides. There were a handful of openings.Bournemouth (3-3-3) threatened first with a close-range Charlie Daniels effort from a corner that crashed off the crossbar. After, Tottenhams Erik Lamela hit the post with an excelllent drive from 30 yards.dddddddddddd Bournemouths Callum Wilson went close twice just before the break, first with a header from Jack Wilsheres cross and then stabbing wide after Jordon Ibe had teed him up.The second half took a long time to open up, but when it finally did in the last 20 minutes Spurs Danny Rose saw a first-time effort well saved by Artur Boruc. At the other end, substitute Benik Afobe headed a great chance over from Simon Francis curling cross.In the end, the result was a fair one, and another feather in Bournemouths increasingly impressive cap.
