ASHBURN, Va. -- Forcing three second-half turnovers helped the Washington Redskins get back to .500 after a 0-2 start and masked a whole host of problems plaguing the defense this season.Injuries to several starters, tackling woes and third-down inefficiency are among the top issues going into this weeks game at the Baltimore Ravens. The Redskins may get back linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and cornerback Bashaud Breeland, but whoevers on the field will have to wrap up opponents better than against Cleveland.Coach Jay Gruden counted 11 missed tackles in Sundays 31-20 victory over the Browns, more than a few of which came in crucial situations as Washington fell to last in the NFL in third-down defense. The Redskins are allowing conversions on third down 57 percent of the time, and Gruden wants that mark at 35, especially important with a veteran quarterback up next in the Ravens Joe Flacco.Were not even close right now, Gruden said. Its an issue. We have to get better on third down. These teams that we play are very good coming up. Baltimore is an excellent team, Flacco, and were going to have to get better on third down.So far the Redskins have tried a little bit of everything with man-to-man and zone coverages and havent managed to solve the problem. The lack of a consistent pass rush hasnt helped.Were just going to continue to mix it up and do some things and hopefully get more pressure on the quarterback and cover better, Gruden said. Thats all we can do.Tackling in the open field would be a positive step, too. Browns running back Isaiah Crowell picked up many of his 115 yards after contact, and Redskins players took responsibility. Defensive end Ricky Jean Francois said the Redskins showed a lack of fundamentals -- and thats on the players, not the coaches.This week will include film study and talk about tackling. Gruden isnt sure if players are ducking their heads too much but is confident players will make the necessary adjustments.Itll be an automatic improvement if the Redskins get back Kerrigan, who left the Browns game with a hyperextended left elbow, and Breeland, who sat out with a left ankle injury. Gruden said theyre day to day and that safety David Bruton and linebacker Sua Cravens are in concussion protocol after getting knocked out of the game.Safety DeAngelo Hall (torn ACL) and nose tackle Kedric Golston (strained hamstring) are already out for the season, but the other injuries left the Redskins in no mans land, unsure of who will be able to play.These injuries are tough because they could be OK, Gruden said. Youd hate to bring in a bunch of new people and have to make roster changes when these guys might be OK to play. Thats the biggest problem with them right now. I think in-house were OK right now without having to bring anybody else in unless we get worse news on some of these injuries.Some stability would help on that front, especially in red-zone situations and in run stopping, where the Redskins have struggled.For all their problems, the Redskins are 2-2 after games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Browns. And they have an awareness that things are far from rosy at the quarter mark of the season.Weve got to play better, linebacker Will Compton said. Fortunately were 2-2. Our ceiling is way higher than what weve had in seasons past.Game notes Gruden expects guard Shawn Lauvao to practice mid-week after missing the Cleveland game with an ankle injury. ...

James Sutherland has declared Cricket Australias willingness to part with its multi-million-dollar Indian pot of gold as part of a collective effort to preserve the financial health of the global game.Following the ICC Annual Conference in Edinburgh, Sutherland, the CA chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo that CA was not alone in contemplating major changes to the revenue models based around bilateral (home and away) tours. Chief among these was the possibility of allowing overseas television revenue from India tours to Australia - worth up to $100 million extra to CAs annual balance sheet - to be at least partly diverted into a central rights package bundle to be shared among all members.Such a change would be likely to cost CA money in the short-term, while also changing the dynamics around the boards close relationship with the BCCI, a huge contributor to Australian crickets financial health. However Sutherland was blunt in saying that doing nothing is not an option, and said all boards had to look at the big picture of the international games future, amid worsening financial situations for some countries and the encroachment of domestic Twenty20 leagues on schedules and player priorities.Its different, isnt it, Sutherland said of the proposal to bundle rights for bilateral series. You have to have a belief in the broader context and youve also got to see the big picture. I think together with pretty well all other countries right now we see that bilateral cricket is very much our core business and its really important that it continues to be popular. Ideally if we get to a situation where it has more structure around it, we build context, fans can understand and appreciate it more and we can increase the value and appeal of bilateral cricket.Weve got a very open mind and we believe in a big-picture sense that the benefits will flow, not only to us but to others. It may well be we go backwards before we go forwards, we dont know, but we do believe in the big picture and we do believe individual countries cant operate in isolation of everyone else. Thats something were very conscious of and thats why we support the work the ICC has done so far in reviewing the structure of bilateral cricket and how that might all work. Itll be good for the game, thats our foremost position, and hopefully down the track itll be good for cricket in Australia.Sutherlands words are a world away from CAs actions eight years ago during the Monkeygate furore, when Australias players felt let down when the board elected to avoid the risk of India flying home from the 2007-08 tour rather than backing Andrew Symonds against Harbhajan Singh. However since that time CA has worked assiduously to become more financially independent, raising a second major revenue stream from the Big Bash League and reforming governance to better advance the interests of the game in total.As a member of the ICC working committee exploring the commercial implications of changes to bilateral tours, Sutherland said he was encouraged by how much willingness he saw in Edinburggh to reform the structure of the game.dddddddddddd. Further talks are set to be held in late August or early September, before a more detailed model is presented to the ICC board in October.I think were getting to a stage of really getting down to a bit of detail now of what it all looks like and how it works, he said. Were hoping to have some meetings next month where we get everyone together to talk a bit more about it. The pleasing thing is theres some genuine momentum here on this and strong alignment and will to make some meaningful decisions. Thats going to be good for the game and hopefully that will happen in the next little while. Everyone is strongly aligned and Im confident were heading in the right direction here.Everyone is firmly of the view that doing nothing around the structure is not an option, and about building more context around international bilateral competition. How it unfolds in regard to exploitation of rights and all of that is something individual members will need to make some decisions on, but it does follow that there are opportunities perhaps to do things better and differently on a collective basis rather than on an individual basis.That sort of stuff is not a necessity, people could opt in or opt out of that opportunity; the bundling of rights may well deliver greater value but it will almost certainly deliver greater flexibility and capacity for member countries to generate media and digital assets that can help make the game more accessible for fans. Thats ultimately what we should all be about.The models being currently discussed will include a certain weighting for the value of each countrys overseas rights, meaning that the likes of India, Australia and England will still get a share somewhat proportionate to their financial contribution. It will also be possible to schedule bilateral tours outside of the proposed league structures, meaning the Ashes or Border-Gavaskar series could still take place if the teams found themselves in different divisions.However the days of countries being financially tied to the BCCI for their very survival, and thus in lockstep when voting on issues at the ICC board table, may soon make way for a more equitable future, in line with governance changes also in the works. The share of the revenues will still be somewhat proportionate one way or the other to the contribution, Sutherland said. If one country, India for example, their contribution to that total pie is greater than someone else theyll get a benefit from that in a proportional sense.But what it should allow is for other countries, who arent as strong or dont have as much power and are effectively selling their rights in competition against other countries, to be a part of a bundle that helps increase the value by virtue of context and structure that they wouldnt have otherwise been able to achieve. Thats all about everyone helping each other to get a better outcome. ' ' '
