Coming off a disappointing loss in B. Cheap Ravens Jerseys .C., Toronto Argonauts GM Jim Barker knows his team will have to respond with a better effort at home versus a Roughrider squad he describes as "right now the best team in the league." Speaking with Bill Hayes and Steve Simmons on Mike Richards in the Morning on TSN 1050, Barker said the Argos are looking forward to the test that the only undefeated team in the CFL will provide. "Right now theyre the best team in the league…George Cortez has done a very solid job of utilizing the players they have on offence," Barker said. "When you play offence like theyve been playing it, it helps your defence because theyre not on the field as much." In addition to leading the league in points scored, Saskatchewans defence has allowed the fewest points in the league and Barker knows they will provide a tough test for Ricky Ray and the Argos offence. "On defence, theyve added Renauld Williams into the middle and (become) more veteran," Barker said. "They got John Chick back who has helped them a lot. He and (Ricky) Foley are playing on their ends. So theyre veteran, theyre solid, they know how to play together." Barker said the Argos defence is still looking to develop a chemistry and consistency that is needed to win at a consistent level. The secondary is of particular concern, allowing a total of 610 yards in the air to Henry Burris and Travis Lulay in the seasons first two contests. Although Barker said Pat Watkins and Jalil Carter have provided solid play on the outside, the team is still looking to develop some youngsters on the interior. "Weve got a defence thats learning, we got guys that were tinkering with, making changes each week there," Barker said. He explained the coaching staff has liked what theyve seen on the defensive line from Khalif Mitchell and University of Western Ontario product David Lee in particular, but that too is a "work in progress" as the team continues to adjust to a quarter of the roster being turned over from last season. Barker said the Week 2 matchup with the Lions was a tough one because of the time difference and long flight to the West coast, but the GM refused to use excuses to explain the loss. "We just didnt play well," Barker said. "We didnt coach well, we didnt play well, we didnt manage well, nothing was good." Still, he has confidence Ray and reigning MOP Chad Kackert will bounce back and improve on their 16 point performance versus the Lions, which included a meaningless late rushing TD by Ray. "We feel like our offence is as good as any in the league and well see how that goes Thursday night, should be a great game." DeShon Elliott Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.cheapravensjerseysauthentic.c...eg-senat-jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Chris Archer is on the verge of baseball infamy.The Tampa Bay Rays right-hander takes an 8-19 record into his Thursday start against the Chicago White Sox. Another defeat would leave Archer as the major leagues first 20-game loser since the Detroit Tigers Mike Maroth went 9-21 in 2003.Prior to Maroth, no pitcher lost 20 games in a season since the Oakland Athletics Brian Kingman finished 8-20 in 1980.Maroth posted an unimpressive 5.73 ERA in 2003. Archers 4.02 ERA is more closely aligned with Kingmans 3.83 mark in his 20-loss season, a sign that the Rays righty hasnt been completely dreadful despite setting a franchise record for single-season losses.I think Im impressed most that he stayed healthy; hes made his starts, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Hes very close to that 200-inning mark (at 194 2/3). Any time a guy gets 200 innings, thats pretty telling how valuable to the team (he is) and that hes pitching good enough to be out there that much.Archer has 228 strikeouts, the second-best total in the American League behind the 246 of Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander.I dont know how he could lose 20 games, as good as he is, Archers former teammate, New York Mets infielder Kelly Johnson, recently told Newsday. Would I be alarmed if I were his teammate or the organization that hes losing so many games? I wouldnt be. I know how hard he works. I know how much he cares and how much effort he puts in and how much he does for the community.The guys a stud. This is one of those situations hes going to look back and think,, Man, that one year was crazy. Gus Edwards Jersey. I cant believe it.Archer hopes to avoid posting the 500th 20-loss season in major league history. The first 295 of those came before 1900, but 20-defeat seasons remained fairly common through the 1960s and into the 1970s prior to the advent of the five-man rotation.In five career games (four starts) against the White Sox, Archer is 2-0 with a 4.13 ERA. He has not faced Chicago this year.While Archer aims to avoid negative history, his mound opponent Thursday is looking for a positive milestone. White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana needs five strikeouts to top his career high of 178 set in 2014.Quintana (13-11, 3.20 ERA) is 1-2 with a 3.33 ERA in five career starts against the Rays.He ranks ninth in the AL in ERA, sixth in innings pitched (202) and 11th in strikeouts. Quintana picked up his career-high 13th victory on Saturday at Cleveland after allowing just one run on six hits in a six-inning outing. The White Sox beat the Indians 8-1.I wish we could score for him like this every time he goes out there, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. Everyone knows his record would be much better if we scored for him.In his lone start against Tampa Bay this year, Quintana took the loss after yielding three runs (two earned) in six innings during a 3-2 defeat on April 17 at Tropicana Field.Quintana has a 1-2 record and a 3.33 ERA in five career starts vs. the Rays.
