KANSAS CITY, Mo. Charley Lau White Sox Jersey . - At various times over the past few years, the Kansas City Chiefs have tried to find a bit of thunder to pair with their lightning. Each time, all they really found was a whisper.Thomas Jones, on the downside of his career. Peyton Hillis, a shell of his former self.Rather than provide a complement to speedster Jamaal Charles, they merely offered unproductive carries. But at long last, the Chiefs appear to have finally found their bruising back in the form of Knile Davis, someone who can take the pressure of their All-Pro in a meaningful way.Theyre both explosive players, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. They are completely different players, but they are both explosive players. And that makes my job easy, just give them the ball.Just like he did Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium.After missing most of the previous two games with an ankle injury, Charles returned to the starting lineup against New England. He ran for 92 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a pair of touchdown passes, leading the suddenly resurgent Chiefs to a 41-14 rout.But the return of Charles didnt signal the end of Davis, who had filled in admirably in his absence. He ran for 107 yards on 16 carries, his second straight game eclipsing the century mark.Coach Reid is a great offensive mind. He knows how to put us in the best situation to help our team win, said Charles, who has gone through several coaches during his time in Kansas City.Knile is starting to believe in himself and is starting to get comfortable, Charles added. Im happy for him that hes really finding his way in this game.Charles has been finding his way for quite a while.The former sprinter has 5,938 yards rushing to rank third in team history, and needs just 77 yards to pass Larry Johnson for second place. He needs 132 yards to surpass Priest Holmes for tops in the record book, a mark that wouldnt be out of the question on Sunday in San Francisco.The way Charles has done it boils down to speed and shiftiness. He was an elite track athlete at Texas, and once harboured dreams of sprinting in the Olympics. But its just not straight-line speed that makes him effective; he also has an uncanny ability to stop and start, and his jukes and spin moves on some hapless defender have resulted in countless highlights.Davis, who was a standout at Arkansas, has the physical frame to simply run defenders over.He also has elite speed, of course, and wins most races to the end zone. But at 5-foot-10, 227 pounds, Davis is a load to handle when he lowers his shoulder pads, and his tree-trunk thighs make it difficult to tackle him low. He has plenty of his own highlights, racking up John Madden affectionately called YAC a€” yards after contact.I think it gives defences different looks, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. I think it keeps both those guys fresh, for sure. We ask a lot of Jamaal, you know, so its nice to be able to rest him at time. I think Kniles play has deserved it, has warranted that.That started late last season, when Charles and the rest of the Chiefs starters sat in their meaningless regular-season finale. It continued in the playoffs, when Charles was sidelined early on by a concussion. Davis ran hard before leaving the loss to Indianapolis with a knee injury.Now, both of them are healthy and running at full speed.You keep throwing fast balls at the defence, Reis said. You to have two fresh backs in the fourth quarter, and again, they do different things. You can do different things with them.When theyre both humming? Its a nightmare for the defence.They beat us like we stole something, Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said, referring to the two running backs but the rest of the Chiefs well-oiled offence. We knew it was going to be a tough game. They basically destroyed us.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Carson Fulmer White Sox Jersey . Make that, almost always subjective. Saturday at Carrow Road, the spirit of fair play trumped the rulebook, costing Norwich City three points. Evan Marshall White Sox Jersey . Though the 26-year-old said he was able to participate, coach Dwane Casey kept Johnson out as a precaution. https://www.cheapwhitesox.com/1274e-nellie-fox-jersey-white-sox.html . -- The Minnesota Vikings released reserve cornerback A. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tanner Scheppers felt discomfort in his pitching elbow long before the Texas Rangers went to spring training with a plan to turn the right-hander into a starter. Scheppers finally said something after the fourth start of his big league career, and now hes headed to the disabled list with elbow inflammation. Texas made the move Friday, a day after Scheppers gave up six runs in the shortest of his starts -- 2 1-3 innings in an 8-6 win over Seattle. General manager Jon Daniels said an MRI showed inflammation in the muscle and no structural damage to the ligament. Scheppers will take 10 days off, then start a throwing program. Scheppers said the elbow didnt feel right as far back as the end of last season, when he led the team with 76 appearances in his second season in the bullpen. "Its something that hasnt gotten better the way that we would like," said Scheppers, who is 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA. "Right now we just want to step back, get healthy, because theres no point in pushing through something like this." Texas replaced Scheppers by selecting the contract of left-hander Aaron Poreda from Triple-A Round Rock. The Rangers made room for Poreda on the 40-man roster by designating infielder Andy Parrino for assignment. Scheppers was Texas opening-day starter because Yu Darvish had a neck strain. Scheppers gave up six runs in the second inning of that game against Philadelphia and surrendered six in the third inning against the Mariners on Thursday. Daniels said Scheppers was examined after reporting soreness during spring traaining. Jim Thome White Sox Jersey. He was cleared at the time, but now Daniels wonders how healthy he was. "I think it might be connected, that he wasnt feeling 100 per cent, probably wasnt performing at 100 per cent because of it," Daniels said. Scheppers fastball has averaged 93.7 mph this year, according to fangraphs.com, down from 96.3 mph last year. While his velocity was better against the Mariners, six of the first seven hitters reached in the third. Robinson Cano and Corey Hart had back-to-back homers. "My pitches arent doing what they normally are or what they should be doing," Scheppers said. "Its something that could build up and you dont get the results that you want." Daniels said the Rangers had yet to discuss what Scheppers elbow issue will do to his role as a starter. Left-handers Matt Harrison and Joe Saunders could be close to returning when Scheppers is eligible to come off the disabled list May 3. Scheppers was an effective setup man for closer Joe Nathan last year, going 6-2 with a save and a 1.88 ERA. "We will talk about it," Daniels said. "But we havent made any decisions at this point." Given a chance to start, Scheppers was one of the best Texas pitchers in spring training. Filling in for Darvish, he became the first major league to make his first career start on opening day since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981. "I really dont think it has anything to do with me starting pitching," Scheppers said. "Its just Im doing something that I havent done in a long time." ' ' '
