play? And thats not normal for me, t

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Buccaneers only get three days to prepare for the first-place Atlanta Falcons, so there isnt much time to dwell on the teams latest setback.Still, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter had to talk Monday about an overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders a day earlier, even if he and his players are in a hurry to move on.Especially with the Falcons (5-3) coming to town Thursday night.We can say we played terrible, we can say we played OK, we can say we played good, Koetter said. The bottom line is we had chances to win the game and we didnt.The Bucs sputtered offensively after a strong opening quarter against the Raiders. The defense wilted late, with Oakland dominating time of possession and outgaining Tampa Bay 438 yards to 106 after halftime.Neither unit capitalized on mistakes by the Raiders, who committed the games only turnover and overcame an NFL-record 23 accepted penalties for 200 yards.Theres a lot of examples of things we did wrong in that game, Koetter said.Theres no time for decompressing this week, though. Preparation for the Falcons began Monday, beginning a condensed practice schedule ahead of Thursday.The main hurdle by far is the players bodies recovering and getting ready to play. ... Weve got a laundry list of guys with bumps and bruises, Koetter said.There were three newcomers to the injury report Monday, with running Jacquizz Rodgers (foot), wide receiver Russell Shepherd (hip) and defensive end William Gholston (biceps) joining a couple of holdovers who did not play against Oakland -- running back Doug Martin and defensive tackle Clinton McDonald, both out with sore hamstrings.McDonald was limited in practice Monday. The others did not participate.The Bucs have beaten the Falcons three consecutive times, including 31-24 on the road in this years season opener.The short week is less stressful than it could be because the Falcons are a familiar opponent, so the chief task for Koetter and his coaches is erasing the disappointment of a poor showing against Oakland.Weve got to get our guys bodies back, and weve got to get their minds back, offensive coordinator Todd Monken said.It does us no good ... if half of our minds are on the mistakes we just made and the things we could have done better. Thats over. Thats done, he added. Everythings about the Falcons.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Washington Redskins Jerseys China .

Price, heading to the 2014 Olympics for Canada, was named the First Star after posting wins in three starts with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .971 save percentage. Greyson Lambert is still Georgias starting quarterback.At least for the season opener.The Bulldogs announced Thursday that Lambert, a fifth-year senior who started all but one game a year ago, remains the No. 1 quarterback heading into No. 18 Georgias first game against No. 22 North Carolina.Lambert got the nod for Saturdays Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta over Jacob Eason, a touted freshman that Georgia fans are clamoring to see -- especially after the teams uninspiring play at quarterback in 2015.Even though Lambert completed more than 63 percent of his passes and set a school record with just two picks in 256 throws, he did little to help the offense in Georgias biggest games. Most notably, he completed only 10 of 24 passes for 86 yards with an interception in a blowout loss to eventual national champion Alabama.Former coach Mark Richt finally made the ill-fated decision to bench Lambert for the annual showdown against Florida. Third-stringer Faton Bauta was picked off four times by the Gators in what would be the only start of his Georgia career, a 27-3 loss that helped seal Richts fate.Even though Lambert reclaimed the starting job and the Bulldogs went on to finish 10-3, Richt was fired after the final regular-season game. Eason, a native of Lake Stevens, Washington, hinted that he might consider another school if Richt was dumped, but the youngster stuck by his commitment to the Bulldogs -- even graduating from high school early so he could enroll at Georgia before spring practice.New coach Kirby Smart had declined earlier in the week to name a starter, only saying that junior Brice Ramsey was no longer in the running. Both Lambert and Eason have been working with the first team and it seems only a matter of time before Eason is given the job.Smart insisted he would have no problem going with a freshman at the most crucial position on the field.Were going to play the guy who gives us the best opportunity to win, Smart said. Weve stood firm on that the whole way through and whoever that is -- I have no reservations aboout a guys age.ddddddddddddIf youre old enough to play, then youre old enough to start. If youre good enough to play, then youre good enough to start. It comes down to whats the best opportunity for us. Its not about the age factor.Smart was asked about the possibility of using two quarterbacks.First thing we have to do is figure out whos taking the first snap before we worry about the next guy coming in, he said. Continue getting those guys reps and get both of them ready to play. Thats the plan.Smart has been impressed with Easons play in practice.But in the end, much like his mentor Nick Saban, the new Georgia coach decided to go with more experienced quarterback in the first game.You have to be objective about the whole process, said Smart, who was Alabamas longtime defensive coordinator under Saban. I think thats the hardest part being head coach is analyzing every play. Did the guy do what he was supposed to do to give us a chance to have a successful play? And thats not normal for me, thats not where Ive been before, so now that you delve in that area, you sit there and you try to make the best decision for the team, and thats ultimately what these things come down to.The quarterback situation has been a leading topic on campus during preseason practice.Receiver Terry Godwin said hes had random students asking him for inside information.Last week, I was in class and a guy leaned over to my desk and was like, `Whos going to start at quarterback? Godwin said with a smile.He insisted that all the questions and interest wasnt a distraction to the Bulldogs.We know coach is going to make the right decision to put the best guy back there, Godwin said. Were going to have confidence in him -- whoever it is.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
