again, with starter Akeem Hunt gaining just 31 yards on nin | Forum

PITTSBURGH -- The problems the Pittsburgh Steelers face, to borrow one of coach Mike Tomlins favourite words, are obvious. Mitchell Marner Jersey . The solutions? Not so much. Given an extra week to stew over the worst start in 45 years, Tomlin is tweaking the lineup hoping to find a spark that will help his team begin the long road back to respectability. Defensive end Cameron Heyward will start on Sunday against the New York Jets. Embattled left tackle Mike Adams will sit. Kelvin Beachum and newly acquired Levi Brown will both get a look at Adams vacated spot. Rookie Vince Williams will line up alongside Lawrence Timmons at inside linebacker. The moves are not an elixir, to be sure, but a step toward a fresh start for a team in desperate need a reboot following an 0-4 September. "I like the attitude, demeanour and approach to work that the guys have taken," Tomlin said. "Thats just part of the equation. Obviously, putting it together and producing victory is the most significant part of the equation." One the Steelers have failed to solve. They remain the only team in the league yet to create a takeaway. Their minus-11 turnover differential is second only to the even more hapless New York Giants (0-5), and their four sacks are dead last. Heyward could provide a boost. The former first-round draft pick spent the first month of the season as the third man in a four-man rotation at end behind Brett Keisel and Ziggy Hood. While Keisel has looked downright spry at times at age 35, Hood continues to be a disappointment. Tomlin plans to keep Hood and Al Woods in the mix but believes Heyward has earned the right to get more snaps. "I think hes been really solid, not taking anything away from Ziggy," Tomlin said. "Obviously, both guys will continue to play. We just want Cam to play more than hes been playing and in order to ensure that, were going to put him in the starting lineup." Tomlin doesnt need Heyward to create havoc so much as simply do his job for a defence that is surprisingly benign. The Steelers are 11th in the league in yards allowed, giving up 321 a game. Not bad by most standards, but hardly acceptable at a place that has been ranked No. 1 in fewest yards surrendered four times in the last decade. While the pass rush has been toothless, the run defence has been even worse. Pittsburgh is 25th against the run, allowing an average of 122 yards. The Steel Curtain has become little more than a warm blanket. Tomlin admitted hed like the defence to be more "sound" against the run. What he would really like, however, is for his players to be more physical. Though the number of padded practices is limited under the collective bargaining agreement, Tomlin thinks his players dont have to be suited up to improve their mindset. "We have to minimize the big plays," he said. "I think that has been an issue for us ... We just need to get more solid in that area, minimize big plays and make people work to produce points against us. Thats how weve done it for a long period of time. We have to quickly get back to that." Rookie running back LeVeon Bell was a revelation in his debut against the Vikings, running for a pair of touchdowns. His workload figures to increase against the Jets, and hell likely have at least one and perhaps two new faces in front of him. Tomlin called Brown -- brought in from Arizona in a trade last week -- a "critical addition" and isnt ruling out the prospect of the fifth overall pick in the 2007 draft starting. Guard Ramon Foster remains bothered by a strained pectoral muscle and his status wont be determined until later in the week. If Foster doesnt heal in time, Brown will likely start at left tackle, with the versatile Beachum replacing Foster. Its not exactly the line the Steelers projected in August. Then again, that might not be a bad thing considering how the unit underachieved in September after centre Maurkice Pouncey went down with a season-ending right knee injury. Already three games behind AFC North rivals Baltimore, Cleveland and Cincinnati in the standings, Pittsburgh needs to start moving. How it begins is irrelevant. When Tomlin talks about the route Adams can go to get back on the field, the coach might as well be talking about his team too. "Its time for Mike to roll his sleeves up and go about working to find more consistency," Tomlin said, "so that he can be the player that we know and he knows he is capable of being." Kris Versteeg Jersey . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said. Darcy Tucker Jersey . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. http://www.leafshockeyfanstore.com/Dave-Keon-Jersey/ . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club.MADISON, Wis. -- Melvin Gordon darted for the end zone, carrying the lunging Purdue defender with him over the goal line. Nothing seems to stop Wisconsin running backs. Gordon ran for three touchdowns and 147 yards, James White added 145 yards and a 70-yard score, and the 24th-ranked Badgers opened Big Ten play by trampling over Purdue with a 41-10 win Saturday. "Theyre just so dynamic, their ability to make people miss and they really kind of complement each other with the running styles, in my opinion," coach Gary Andersen said. Wisconsin moved on nicely from last weeks stunning 32-30 loss to Arizona State, after officials mishandled the final seconds to deprive the Badgers of a game-winning field-goal try. No last-minute worries this week. Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0) led by two touchdowns at the half and by three scores early in the third quarter after Gordon fended off Ricardo Allens failed last-ditch effort to stop the 15-yard touchdown run. Andersen said he wanted his players to learn from the loss and move on -- but not necessarily forget about it. Thats a very sizable chip on the collective shoulders of the Badgers. They might be a field goal away from being unbeaten heading into next weekends showdown at Ohio State. "Its just getting started, its not as if were ever going to forget that," linebacker Chris Borland when asked about the Arizona State loss. "Were going to play with the idea of taking frustration out on our opponents all year." Purdue (1-3, 0-1) got walloped with decisive disadvantages in total yards (546-180), yards rushing (388-45) and first downs (22-12). Not the way coach Darrell Hazell hoped his first Big Ten game would go. "Right now, weve got to do a good job as a football team soul-searching," he said. "Obviously, thats not the way Purdue football wants to play. We need to get a lot better." Quarterback Rob Henrys 22-yard scramble for a score on what appeared to be a busted play provided one of the few highlights for the Boilermakers. Nose guard Warren Herring had a sack and three tackles, and Borland had six stops and a pass breakup at the goal line with the game still close in the first half. "We got more push today, overall. We got aa few more pressures that came clean early, forced him to escape," Andersen said. Custom Maple Leafs Jersey. "The kids rushed the passer better today and had some opportunities to make some plays, and they made them." Wisconsin tallied four sacks on the afternoon after recording just one combined over the first three games. Purdues defensive highlight came after Allen intercepted an errant throw by Joel Stave and returned it to the Wisconsin 10 to put Purdue in good shape on its next drive. But two running plays stalled, and Borland broke up the third-down pass to hold Purdue to a 24-yard field goal by Paul Griggs. That made it 14-10 early in the second quarter. Still, maybe, just maybe, the Boilermakers were going to build on their near-upset last week of Notre Dame before losing 31-24. One big problem: Purdue couldnt stop the run. Gordons 27-yard scoring run sapped Purdue momentum after Griggs field goal to put Wisconsin back up by 11. He followed with his 15-yard run early in the third quarter. "We were in the game in the first half. When the second half came, we have to find a way to win. We came out a little bit low and they ganged up on us in the third quarter," cornerback Taylor Richards said. "We have to come out in the second half and find a way to win." Its not like Purdue didnt know that Wisconsin would run the ball, though. Its as much a part of Badger football as students rocking to House of Pains "Jump Around" between the third and fourth quarters, even with Andersen in his first year calling the shots in Madison. Statistically, Purdue seemed to be in decent shape coming into the game after holding its last two opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. Instead, Gordon and White made the poor-tackling Boilermakers look silly. Gordon had 16 carries in his fourth-straight 100-yard game. White, the FBS active career leading in yards rushing (3,013), also got 16 carries. Henry finished 18 for 36 with 135 yards and an interception. He netted zero yards on seven carries. Overall, Purdues running game was nonexistent again, with starter Akeem Hunt gaining just 31 yards on nine carries. Herrings solid play early set the tone for Wisconsins active defensive front.
