Funkerstation » e whatever differences we have

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernicks football spoke for him this time, not his national anthem protest, and it was a long time coming.A year after being benched for his poor play and three starts into what he hopes is a triumphant return for the 49ers, Kaepernick hung right with Drew Brees and even threw for more yards than his strong-armed Saints counterpart in San Franciscos 41-23 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.Confident and precise in spite of one interception and a lost fumble, Kaepernick resembled the old dual-threat playmaker he once was in leading this team to a runner-up Super Bowl finish following the 2012 season.I think today was a step in the right direction, Kaepernick said. We had a lot of opportunity where if a few plays had gone another way this game could have turned out differently.Kaepernick became the 15th player in franchise history to rush for 2,000 yards and went 24 of 39 for 398 yards passing -- second most yards of his career on the way to a 102.3 QB rating. He hit DuJuan Harris for a 47-yard touchdown then Vance McDonald on a pretty 65-yard TD pass .Kaepernick, who worked back from surgeries on his left shoulder, left knee and right thumb, had completed fewer than half his passes in his first two starts since being promoted over Blaine Gabbert.It was an up-and-down day, coach Chip Kelly said. There were a few throws in the pocket there that if he could have completed them we would have stayed on the field and kept some drives alive. But he also did some really good things fitting some balls in there and making plays.Determined to improve his consistency this week, Kaepernick had another impressive performance against the Saints, something he wont try to explain. Before this season even began with him as the backup, he sparked a debate with his decision to sit and later kneel for the anthem in support of minorities who are oppressed.He seemed to play really well today, Brees said. They moved the ball at times really well today and he ended up with a ton of passing yards. We figured coming off the bye week theyd be rested and re-energized and ready to roll, which they were.Still, San Francisco (1-7) lost its seventh straight game since shutting out the Rams to start the year and falling to New Orleans for the eighth time in the last 10 regular-season meetings.Nobody was satisfied, even with some clear progress made.We definitely got in more of a rhythm today, Kaepernick said. But we still left a lot out there, particularly in the red zone. We were down there three times and got no points.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jordan 11 Wholesale .

The Browns are concerned about his temper.A day after Cincinnati cornerback Adam Jones profanely berated Clevelands wide receiver following the Bengals 23-10 win by calling him garbage numerous times, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Pryor has been involved in far too many similar situations.Earlier this season, Pryor called out the Browns offensive line for not protecting the teams quarterbacks and he has been demonstrative on the sideline during games.Also, New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins ripped Pryor on social media following a recent Browns loss, and during Sundays game, he got into a brief, finger-pointing argument in the huddle with Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III.Jackson appreciates Pryors fire. He just wants him to cool it a little bit.Were going to stop all that, Jackson said. We dont need all that. I want to say this about Terrelle: I dont think hes trying to be negative when hes doing it. Thats just not the type of football team we want to be.Pryor was visibly upset following Sundays loss, which dropped the Browns to 0-13, three losses from becoming the NFLs second 0-16 team.The teams leading receiver, he caught just one pass for 3 yards and was essentially a non-factor for the second time this season against the Bengals, who waived him in 2015 before he was signed by Cleveland.Pryor, who can become a free agent in March, did not speak with reporters afterward and declined a request to be interviewed Monday.On Sunday, Jones singled out Pryor when he erupted into a rant in Cincinnatis locker room. At one point, Jones grabbed a trash can near his locker and shouted, Hey, let me find him. Terrelle, you in there? You in there? Get on up out of there.Jones claimed Pryor had spoken to Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, telling him he was going to have a big game against him.Jackson was aware of Jones outburst, but when asked about it, he expressed more disappointment in Pryors on-field behavior. He admires Pryors passion, but needs him to control it better.Its unfortunate that those things have happened, he said.I dont think that they have any place in the National Football League, especiially on our team so were going to try and get all those things quieted down.dddddddddddd We just want to play football, be the best football players we can be and lets get away from all of that.Sometimes some of our players think its their prerogative, not just our players, other players, to make comments and we need to settle whatever differences we have on the football field and leave it at that and be pros about what we do and compete against each other and move forward.The Browns are interested in signing Pryor to a new contract and have had preliminary talks with his agents. Jackson said the team will take Pryors comportment into consideration during negotiations.I know Terrelle, Jackson said. There is a type of team we want to be and we are going to be. We will get these things, these antics or however you want to look at them slowed down because we want to do this thing right.I dont want anybody to think that he is the root of a problem or something like that. I just think we have to redirect and channel some of his energy.Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins played with Jones in Cincinnati. He wasnt surprised he got into it with Pryor given the makeup of both players.I know how Adam is, hes a fiery guy and I know how he is, Hawkins said. I know how Terrelle is, hes a fiery guy. Theyre competitors and whenever you have two competitors, two A-type personalities, two lions that come together, this is the result.It will make for entertaining football next year when the Bengals play the Browns again.Game notes Jackson said there were no significant injuries from Sundays game. ... Browns rookie WR Corey Coleman, who missed six games with a broken right hand, expressed disappointment in his season. I feel like I let a lot of people down, said Coleman, who has 23 catches and been targeted 55 times. So I know what I have to do -- finish these last three games really strong and offseason, now I know what to expect from the NFL. Ill be a lot better coming back.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
