OWINGS MILLS, Md. Doug Flutie Bills Jersey . - The improvement of the Baltimore Ravens offence under Gary Kubiak can be measured by a variety of statistics, including Justin Forsetts 1,147 yards rushing and Joe Flaccos career-high tying 25 touchdown passes.To focus solely on those numbers would be missing the point, or rather, the points. The Ravens have scored 389 points this season, and with 10 more on Sunday against Cleveland they will set a franchise record.Well break that, said fourth-year wide receiver Torrey Smith, whose 10 touchdown catches are the most of his career.Kubiak was hired as offensive co-ordinator in January after Jim Caldwell left to become head coach of the Detroit Lions. Kubiak was available because he was fired as coach of the Houston Texans in December following an eight-year run.He took over an offence that last season totalled 1,328 yards rushing with an average of 3.1 yards per attempt. He inherited a quarterback, Joe Flacco, who was sacked 48 times and had 22 interceptions compared to 19 touchdown passes.Kubiak tore down the system and started anew. The results have been impressive, if not downright amazing, given that Ray Rice never got a carry and the offensive line has been repeatedly shuffled because of injuries.Forsett, who never before gained more than 619 yards, could end up doubling that. He is averaging an NFL-best 5.3 yards per carry, one reason why Baltimore has garnered 1,890 yards on the ground and averages 4.5 yards per attempt.And Flacco? Hes been sacked only 18 times, has more than twice as many TD throws than interceptions (25-12) and needs 326 yards passing Sunday to reach the 4,000-mark for the first time.All this can be attributed primarily to Kubiak.I think his biggest asset is hes a great teacher, Smith said Wednesday. Hes been successful everywhere hes been, and its been no different here. Being in meetings with him, hes fun, a guy you want to play for. Everyone kind of bought into his system. Hes obviously doing a great job.Forsett, who played for Houston and Kubiak in 2012, was delighted to be reunited with his former coach in Baltimore.Hes consistent. Hes able to relate to the guys, Forsett said. What you see is what you get every day. Hes going to hammer out the details, the little things, to make sure its second nature when we get out there on the field.Mainly, he cares. He cares about the players, on and off the field. When you have a guy like that, it just makes you want to play for him even more.Kubiak rarely speaks about his accomplishments, but hes justifiably proud of what hes accomplished with a Baltimore offence that is ranked 11th in the NFL after finishing 29th in 2014.Offensively, some of the things weve been through — the running back situation — some of those things, youve got to feel good about some of the things that happened to us throughout the course of the year, he said.Kubiak, 53, may get another chance to be a head coach but his focus this year has been to get the Ravens (9-6) into the playoffs. Theres still one game left, so hes not quite ready to look back on the 2014 season.Evaluations will be at the end but there are some players who have done some really good things, Kubiak said. The biggest thing weve done offensively is weve gotten better protecting the quarterback and weve run the football. Those are important. But I always think theres more. Thats why we do what we do.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL TreDavious White Jersey .

That bleach blonde Mohawk still stands out, but not as much as his first goal in Major League Soccer -- a wonder strike in the first half that helped propel Vancouver to a 1-0 victory in Ohio. The fifth overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Hurtado has had to bide his time with the Whitecaps and he took full advantage of his first league start of the season. The 23-year-old controlled a long free kick in front of a Columbus defender on the right before cutting into the middle and unleashing a vicious left-footed shot from outside the 18-yard box that curled into the top corner. "You know how when you hit it on the sweet spot and you just know its going in? Thats what happened," Hurtado said after Mondays training session. "As soon as it left my foot, I was like Oh my God yes. Thank you God." The Fredericksburg, Va., native has played 22 MLS games since joining Vancouver last season, including five starts. But with the club parting ways with veteran striker Kenny Miller earlier this month, and with Darren Mattocks on the shelf with a hamstring injury, Hurtado is finally getting an opportunity under Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson. "Im maturing as a player. I matured over my rookie season last year a lot," he said. "(Robinson) having faith in me has been great. Hes going to give players opportunities if they deserve it. "Ive been working really hard on the field and I got my chance and took it." Hurtado stands out because of his raw talent, but also for a hairstyle that has earned him an array of nicknames from teammates, including Rufio from the movie "Hook" and Sonic the Hedgehog, in honour of the video game character. "I dont know if its like a Brazilian blowout mixed with a mohawk and some bleach -- got in a fight with a bottle of bleach or something like that," Whitecaps defender Jordan Harvey said with a chuckle. "Thats his style and how he wants to express it and more power to him." Hurtado is fine with the jabs. "I dont know if Im trying to achieve anything," he said. "Im just trying to stay fresh." In his first season at the Whitecaps helm, Robinson couldnt care less what Hurtados hair looks like as long as he continues to develop and stays committed to his craft. "Hes an example to all the young players that things dont go your way sometimes," said Robinson. "Its important you put the work in and youll get your reward. It might not come in the next week or two wweeks. Ed Oliver Womens Jersey. It might come in the next two or three months, and thats what happened with Erik." Hurtados raw talent was evident to his teammates as soon as he arrived in Vancouver, but it was clear his game needed to be honed. "It was kind of like corralling a wild stallion, if you know what I mean," said Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit. "Hes one of those guys (where) you can see his athletic ability. You can see his pace, his power, and its about corralling that and making sure that turns into good football. You can see it really start to take shape now, you can see him gaining in a little bit of confidence." Speaking of confidence, Hurtado and his teammates have loads of it heading into Wednesdays second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal against Toronto FC. Robinson fielded a "younger than young" squad in last weeks 2-1 away defeat in the first leg, but that result means that a 1-0 victory for Vancouver at B.C. Place Stadium would see the Whitecaps advance to the final on the away goals rule. DeMerit and many of Vancouvers other veterans watched from the sidelines as the baby-faced Whitecaps, including Hurtado, battled hard against Torontos star-studded roster. "Guys are contributing when asked upon. Guys are staying on the same page and as a collective were continuing to work on our brand of soccer," said DeMerit, who looks likely to sit out against Toronto again this week after playing Saturday in Columbus. "That needs to continue. That mentality needs to continue to shift and even get better." Apart from Hurtados recent success, former No. 1 pick Omar Salgado has impressed since rejoining the Whitecaps from the second-tier Charleston Battery last week. A big target who has been plagued by injuries in his young career, Salgado seems fitter and had a great chance late against Columbus that just bounced wide in the games dying minutes. "Im still a little disappointed I missed that but every striker in the world misses chances," said Salgado, the top choice in 2011. "Its something youve just got to get over and score against Toronto." Robinson said saying goodbye to Miller was difficult because of their personal friendship, but added that it was a move that had to be made with youngsters like Hurtado, Salgado and Kekuta Manneh clamouring for minutes. "It was the right decision for the club and me moving forward with this group of players that Ive got," said Robinson. "It will give the young players more opportunities to play and Ive said from Day 1 that I will give them more opportunities and I think you will see that more now." ' ' '
