Die Macht » His stuff isnt going to overpower you

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Matt Forte is in no rush to give his ailing hamstring a run during practice.The New York Jets running back has sat out all four training camp sessions with what he calls a minor hamstring pull.Its feeling better, Forte said Sunday. Heading into camp, I had a little, slight pull, a setback. Now, were just taking it slow so that I dont reinjure it. Hamstrings are tricky, so if you reinjure it, then you could be set back longer.One of the Jets main free-agent signings this offseason, Forte said he hurt the hamstring while running on his own.Every day, I feel a lot better, he said. Its the first week of camp, so Ive got to take it patient. Once they give me the go-ahead, Ill be at practice.Coach Todd Bowles said he had no idea when Forte might be able to take the field.Hes making progress and when he comes back, well be ready for him to come back, he said.Forte has dealt with a previous hamstring injury, before his second NFL season with Chicago in 2009, when he said he tore it and still played a full season.This was just minor, he said. This is a 1 compared to that (out) of a 10.Forte spent his first eight seasons with the Bears, but had a career-low 898 yards rushing last year in 13 games. The Jets signed him to a three-year, $12 million contract, hoping he could provide a pass-catching threat while also replacing leading rusher Chris Ivory.He is just two years removed from setting the NFL record for running backs with 102 receptions for the Bears. That type of playmaking skill has his Jets teammates eager to see how hell help improve an offense that finished 10th overall in the NFL last season.I think hes going to add a lot, wide receiver Eric Decker said. Just his ability, not only running, but catching the ball out of the backfield and lining him up as a receiver.Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey likes using his running backs in various ways in his scheme, and Forte will give quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick yet another option.I love it, just going through it in OTAs, seeing the leeway and the versatility that you are able to have, Forte said. Chan likes to motion running backs out of the backfield, run routes from the backfield and thats what Im used to. I think itll be fun to see it when I practice and we go through our drills and stuff.Brandon Marshall led the Jets with a franchise-record 109 catches last season, while Decker had 80. The next two were running backs: Bilal Powell with 47 and Ivory with 30.Forte has caught at least 44 passes during every season of his NFL career, so coming into the Jets system appealed to him during free agency.Obviously, having Brandon and Eric out there, they draw a lot of attention, Forte said. They cant double-cover everybody. Theres a lot of real estate to be made, a lot of ground to be made underneath and I think itll happen.Game notes CB Darrelle Revis (wrist) participated in light position drills and, like Forte, has yet to take part in team drills. There remains no timetable for him to fully practice. ... Backup CB Dexter McDougle is day-to-day with a sore hamstring. ...

SEATTLE -- It took five pitches for the Houston Astros to continue the roll they were on before the All-Star break.George Springer hit a leadoff home run, Carlos Correa had a two-out, two-run double then scored from second base on a wild pitch during Houstons five-run fifth inning, and the Astros opened the second half with a 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.The four days off around the All-Star Game didnt slow the surging Astros. Houston won for the sixth time in eight games and its fifth straight win over the Mariners.Were not depending on one or two players, All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve said. Everybody here is doing something for the team and that is why were doing so good.Springer got the Astros started, but it was Correa who flashed all of his talents. His hitting skill in the fifth inning made Seattle pay for intentionally walking Altuve as Correa missed a home run by just a few feet with a double off the wall. Moments later, Correa flashed his speed by scoring from second base when James Paxtons third wild pitch of the inning ricocheted off catcher Chris Iannetta and over to the third base dugout.And Correa flashed his glove in the seventh inning reaching back across his body to snag Robinson Canos hot shot and throw him out at first.It started moving late so I was going one way, the ball was going the other, Correa said. I put out my glove and I caught it. I think it was a pretty good play.While Correa and Springer had the big hits, the Astros rally in the fifth started with consecutive doubles by Evan Gattis and Jake Marisnick. Springer scored on the second of Paxtons wild pitches and Correa missed a three-run homer by just a few feet doubling off the wall in left-center field.We showed our athleticism pretty well that inning with Springer scoring on the wild pitch and Correa scoring from second, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. It was a really big inning for us. We didnt maximize our oppportunities early but it was nice to get a big inning.ddddddddddddThe Astros big inning offset a shaky performance from starter Doug Fister, who struggled to get through five innings. Fister (9-6) retired 12 of the first 14 batters, but gave back three runs after being staked to a 6-0 lead, two scoring on Shawn OMalleys double in the fifth. After walking Seth Smith, Fister broke Canos bat on a weak grounder back to the mound and escaped the inning.We put three up there and had a couple guys on for (Canos) at-bat. Couple slow curveballs and they got him out front there, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Thats what Fister does. He keeps you off balance. His stuff isnt going to overpower you, but hes smart and knows how to pitch and changes speeds well.Houstons bullpen was nearly perfect the rest of the way throwing four shutout innings.LONG BALLSpringers leadoff homer was his 20th home run of the season and Marwin Gonzalez added a solo shot in the seventh inning. Springers home run was his seventh career long ball in 18 games at Safeco Field, and the 20 homers matched the career-high he set in 2014.TRAINERS ROOM:Astros: OF Colby Rasmus wasnt in the starting lineup on Friday, but Hinch said Rasmus is fully healthy after missing the final four games before the All-Star break due to an ear infection.Mariners: RHP Felix Hernandez made his second rehab start in the minors. Pitching for Triple-A Tacoma, Hernandez threw 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run and five hits. He is slated to start for Seattle on July 20 against the White Sox.UP NEXTAstros: Lance McCullers (4-3) looks to rebound after his shortest outing of the season in his last start. McCullers lasted just four innings last week against Oakland.Mariners: Hisashi Iwakuma (9-6) goes for his 10th win. Iwakuma has gone 8-2 over his past 10 starts. ' ' '
