TEMPE, Ariz. - Calais Campbell had a huge game last Sunday, and he knows it could have been better.The same can be said of his career.The Arizona Cardinals imposing 6-foot-8, 300-pound defensive end can dominate a game, yet those around him know his best playing days are still ahead.As good as hes playing, Cardinals defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles said, I think he has another level to get to.Coach Bruce Arians says Campbell, in his seventh NFL season, ranks among the top eight or nine defensive linemen in the league.Hes playing at an extremely high level right now, very disruptive, Arians said. I dont think he ever gets the credit he really deserves.One reason is the position he plays. The Cardinals use a 3-4 defensive scheme. The defensive ends who rack up the big sack numbers play in 4-3 sets.Campbell still is getting his share of sacks and more, though.Last Sunday, he had a career-high three against Seattle, all of them in the second quarter.They usually come in bunches, he said. Its funny how it works that way.Campbell agreed with the coaches assessment that he could have sacked Russell Wilson at least twice more.Very true, he said. I left a couple of plays out there and Ive got to do better. Its something I take pride in — making every play I can, and Ill get better this week.The persistently modest lineman deflected credit for the sacks he did get.My sacks last week were cover sacks, Campbell said. I give all that to the DBs. Youve got a guy holding the ball for four seconds, you should be able to get there in plenty of time.In all, the Cardinals sacked Wilson seven times, a season high for Arizona.I think most pass rush is desire, Campbell said. You have your technique and different moves you work, but for the most part it comes down to just want-to.Even though he missed two games after injuring his knee because an illegal chop block against Denver, Campbell is tied for the team lead in sacks (six), leads in tackles for loss (eight) and quarterback pressures (14) and is second in quarterback hits (nine).Five of his sacks have come in the last three games. All of this while consistently being double-teamed.I think Im starting to get into the zone, he said. I dont think Ive been playing my best ball yet, but this is the time to play my best ball. Im starting to feel really good right now, so hopefully these next few games I can play some really good football.Campbell, as polite and easygoing off the field as he is fierce on it, is in the third year of a five-year, $55 million contract. This year, for the first time, he was voted a team captain by his teammates.I believe hes stepping up big now that (Darnell) Dockett is down, cornerback Patrick Peterson said. His play has definitely gone to the next level. Hes been playing huge for us. With that C on his chest, its a little added pressure, so he has to make sure he plays better than pretty much everybody else on the defence.Dockett was knocked out for the season with a knee injury in training camp.With his three sacks last week, Campbell passed Dockett and Bertrand Berry to go to sixth on the Cardinals career sacks list with 42 1/2. He is three shy of No. 5 Eric Swann.Campbells performance against Seattle made him the first defensive lineman in franchise history to have at least six sacks in six seasons. Despite missing two games, he is on pace for his sixth consecutive season with at least 50 tackles and six sacks.But the numbers that mean most to him, he said, are 9-2, the Cardinals record heading into Sundays game at Atlanta.A good performance is imperative after the 19-3 loss at Seattle.When youre on the field and you lose a game, you want to make sure you bounce back the next week and have a little more desire, a little more chip on your shoulder, Campbell said. For the most part, we dont have to do anything special. Just play football, have our energy and play with good technique and discipline, and were a tough team to beat.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Lonzo Ball Jersey .

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have fired receivers coach Ike Hilliard.SOCHI – If its not Canada, it could be the inspired bunch from the host-country. If its not the Russians, it could be the Swedes, Finns, Czechs or Americans. The gold-medal winner likely will come from this group in Sochi, but forecasting the Olympic champion in the mens hockey tournament has never been easy. Since the participation of NHL players in 1998 there have been three different winners in the Czech Republic, Canada, Sweden and Canada again in four Winter Games. Its a short-term event and things can go wrong in a hurry for the top teams. A hot goaltender can steal a game in the medal round and all of a sudden a favourite is sitting on the sidelines. Just ask Hockey Canada. Were the Canadian teams that won gold in Salt Lake City in 2002 or in Vancouver in 2010 any better than the 1998 group that was stoned time and time again by Dominik Hasek in Nagano? Just ask Sweden about 2002, when goalie Tommy Salo surrendered that fluky late-game winning goal offf his bean from 70 feet out off the stick of Belarus defenceman Vladimir Kopat.dddddddddddd Who would have thought Switzerland could have pulled off its surprise run to the final at the world championship last spring? Like the sophisticated watches the Swiss are known for, the hockey teams timing was impeccable. It peaked at the perfect moment for wins over the Czech Republic and United States in the quarterfinal and semi-final, respectively, only to lose to Sweden in the finale. So, with all that in mind, what country will give Canada the biggest challenge in its gold-medal defence at the 2014 Winter Games? Here are the odds as of Monday night from bodog.ca. • Canada 19-10 (about 2-1)• Russia 12-5• Sweden 9-2• USA 6-1• Finland 11-1• Czech Republic 12-1 And, if you like to play the long odds: • Switzerland 25-1• Slovakia 33-1• Norway 200-1• Latvia 400-1\• Austria 750-1• Slovenia 1,000-1 ' ' '
