INDIANAPOLIS -- Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett have a clear mission this season: Become consistent, quality receivers. Thomas Meunier Belgium Jersey .The Colts playoff hopes may depend on it.Weve got to step up and make plays, Moncrief said. We have to help out T.Y. (Hilton).Moncrief is perfectly positioned to make the jump.After being taken in the third-round of the 2014 draft, the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder from Mississippi started flashing play-making ability late in his rookie season. The expectations increased last season when he entered training camp as the No. 3 receiver and again when he was pressed into more action because of Andre Johnsons struggles.Moncrief wound up doubling his rookie totals, finishing with 64 receptions and six touchdowns despite playing with a bad toe. Indy released Johnson in March and essentially handed the starting job opposite Hilton, a two-time Pro Bowler, to Moncrief, who was recovering from toe surgery.I got into the playbook and learned every position because you never know where youre going to be lining up on the field, the 23-year-old Moncrief said. I know the game better now.Dorsett faces a different kind of challenge. The Colts gambled by using last years first-round pick on the 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster from Miami, expecting Dorsett to stretch the field and create a spark in the return game.Instead, Dorsett spent the first part of 2015 getting acclimated to the NFL and broke his lower left leg just when it appeared he might break through. The injury cost him five games and eliminated his chance of making the kind of impact Indy projected.Hes healthy now and with a full offseason to work with quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of his teammates, Dorsett intends to improve on the 18 catches, 225 yards and one TD he had last season.Ive focused a lot on the strength, endurance and going out and being able to run full speed for the whole game, Dorsett said. I did a lot of route running.Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski noted that Dorsett seemed more precise running pass patterns when he arrived at training camp last month. And Hilton said that Indys new No. 3 receiver is catching better and blocking more effectively, too -- traits Indy desperately needs given the lack of proven talent behind Dorsett.The eight other receivers on Indys current roster have zero catches in the NFL. And though one of them, Chester Rogers, came up with the winning score last weekend at Buffalo, the other eight finished with six combined catches. Its an area the team is looking to shore up quickly.Indy hosts Baltimore on Saturday with Luck expected to make his first start in more than nine months.Weve got some young guys that we want to focus on a little bit, and there are some guys out there that were looking at as well, coach Chuck Pagano said Tuesday after veteran Josh Boyce was released.While Pagano didnt cite any specific receivers, the NFL landscape is littered with experienced veterans such as Marques Colston, Brian Hartline and Roddy White. Indy has tried that route before with results ranging from modest success to outright failure.So the Colts best hope appears to be the emergence of two young, promising receivers who insist they are ready to get the job done.Weve got to basically help everybody, Dorsett said. Weve got to help in the run game, weve got to help Andrew (Luck), weve got to play fast and weve got to play physical and thats what were going to do.Game notes Pagano said five players would not play Saturday night: cornerbacks Jalil Brown (ankle) and Darius Butler (hamstring), receiver Marcus Leak (quad), linebacker Sio Moore (hamstring) and guard Hugh Thornton (ankle). ... Pagano said most of the starting offense should play the first quarter against the Ravens and possibly into the second. ... Defensive linemen Henry Anderson could come off the physically unable to perform list soon. Pagano said Anderson is really close to being cleared for practice. He has not practiced with the team since tearing the ACL in his right knee in November.----Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Divock Origi Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Eden Hazard Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. http://www.belgiumsoccerauthority.com/radja-nainggolan-belgium-jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. PHILADELPHIA -- Bronson Arroyo has these Philadelphia Phillies all figured out. Arroyo pitched five-hit ball over 7 2-3 innings, Joey Votto was 4 for 4 with a homer, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Phillies 10-0 Saturday. Arroyo (4-4) struck out six and allowed one runner to reach third in winning his third straight start against Philadelphia. He was 1-7 in his first 10 games against the Phillies, but is 3-0 with a 1.52 ERA in three starts against them since last Aug. 22. "This game is so funny," Arroyo said. "One pitch can surely change things. Ive been able to keep their power guys quiet so thats helped." Votto had a two-run shot and walked twice to reach safely six times. Ryan Hanigan hit a three-run homer. "Im trying to see the ball as long as possible and direct it where I want it," Votto said. Kyle Kendrick (4-2) gave up four runs and eight hits with a season-high four walks in six innings. Kendrick hadnt allowed more than two runs in his previous seven starts. Cincinnati won for the seventh time in its past eight games and improved to 4-1 against the Phillies this year. Arroyo entered with a 6.00 career ERA against the Phillies, including a 9.60 ERA in three starts at Citizens Bank Park. "We used to hit him good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The last three times, hes pitched us the same. Hes pitched us backwards, slow hooks and change-ups. Hes given us fits." Todd Frazier led off the second with an infield single, snapping an 0-for-19 slump. Donald Lutz followed with a single. Then Hanigan connected for his first extra-base hit of the season, giving the Reds a 3-0 lead. Hanigan had eight singles in 54 at-bats before taking Kendrick deep to left. Hanigan was hit by a pitch leading off the sixth. He advanced on a sacrifice and scored on Zack Cozarts two-out double to right to make it 4-0. The Reds added four runs off three rrelievers in the eighth.Jan Vertonghen Jersey. Votto hit one out in the ninth. Arroyo didnt need all that support. He baffled hitters with his assortment of slow stuff, occasionally mixing a fastball with his mid-70s off-speed pitches. "Arroyo pitched masterfully," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It was still close before our offence exploded at the end." The Phillies have been shut out six times in 43 games, matching their total from all of last season. "They say the game builds character," Manuel said. "I dont know about building, but it definitely reveals it." For Kendrick, it was his worst outing since allowing five runs in Philadelphias home opener. Kendrick has been Philadelphias most consistent starter this season, posting a 2.82 ERA and outperforming Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. Since returning to the rotation last August, Kendrick is 11-6 with a 3.02 ERA in 21 starts. "My command wasnt good and I fell behind a lot," Kendrick said. "It was a tough day all around." NOTES: Carlos Zambrano had five strikeouts in two innings in his first appearance in an extended spring training game since the three-time All-Star signed a minor league deal with the Phillies. ... Injured Phillies LHP John Lannan threw a bullpen session and is expected to throw again Monday. ... Reds RF Jay Bruce extended his hitting streak to nine games. ... The Reds optioned LHP Tony Cingrani to Triple-A Louisville and recalled INF Neftali Soto. ... Phillies CF John Mayberry Jr. struck out swinging four times. ... Reds third base coach Chris Speier got cheers for planting a kiss on the Phillie Phanatic while the furry green mascot was pretending to be Alicia Keys singing "Girl on Fire" before the sixth inning. ... Homer Bailey (2-3, 3.51 ERA) opposes Philadelphias Jonathan Pettibone (3-0, 3.41 ERA) in the series finale Sunday afternoon.
