The trick now for Virginia Tech is not believing the hype.Fresh off a 49-0 victory against Boston College that matched their largest victory margin in an Atlantic Coast Conference game, the Hokies welcome East Carolina this weekend.The Pirates (2-1) figure to be especially motivated after a 20-15 loss to South Carolina in which they had four trips inside the Gamecocks 20-yard line that yielded nothing because of three turnovers and a missed field goal.As we move forward, we have to understand that those things we did from a mistake standpoint, we were able to see that very easy on tape, first-year Pirates coach Scottie Montgomery said this week.Sometimes when you lose games, guys want to look around and try to figure out why we lost.This week, it was very clear why we lost.The Hokies (2-1), meantime, posted their first shutout since 2012 and limited the Eagles to 124 yards.And they have history on their side in the series -- as motivation. The Pirates have won the past two meetings, each time by a touchdown, so the Hokies know they are a formidable opponent.Its a great team they have our respect, defensive tackle Ricky Walker said. Were just getting ready to face these guys. ... They have our respect. Were just looking forward to playing them Saturday inside Lane.Hokies first-year coach Justin Fuente asks his team to break the season down into 12 one-week challenges, to dismiss the past and focus on the future.Its an approach that seems to resonate with his team. It helps that East Carolina has won six in a row against teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference.I think it starts with us, Hokies linebacker Tremaine Edwards said. We have to prepare this week, come out to practice each and every day, prepare like a team, prepare to go get a win, prepare to go 1-0.Fuente knows the Hokies rout of Boston College can present a challenge going forward.Thats why you see upsets every week. Thats why you see disappointing performances, because these kids have other things that are going through their lives as well, on top of the football games, he said.You have exams and girlfriends and family members and all sorts of things, so maintaining your focus week in and week out, the emotions, the ups and downs, the bottom line is there are some games you play on an emotional high and some games where you have to work really hard to get up for.But we lay the groundwork that its 12 one-game seasons, and regardless of the outcome, you have to turn the page and throw your focus into the next game is the only way I know how to do it.Approach every Tuesday the same: the same level of intensity, the same demanding demeanor that we have on the practice field.Were not going to settle for anything less than our guys best. And thats what I told them yesterday, in so many words.If you think this Tuesday is going to be any different than last Tuesday, youre wrong. We absolutely have things that we need to fix, and a great focus that weve got to bring into this game.

Bobby Evans Rams Jersey . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. David Long Rams Jersey . PAUL, Minn. BEREA, Ohio -- Following his unceremonious exit from Washington, Robert Griffin III left behind a note in his locker that encouraged forgiveness and a positive attitude.In Cleveland, hes seeking redemption.Benched and booted by the Redskins, Griffin has a fresh start with the Browns, who are hoping a player who flashed great promise and potential just a few years ago can find it again.Unable to change his past, RG3s eyes are fixated ahead.Im moving forward, he said.Griffins comeback will be the main story line during training camp for the Browns, who underwent yet another monumental overhaul during the offseason and have placed one of the NFLs worst teams in the hands of coach Hue Jackson.With a history for mentoring and refining young quarterbacks, Jackson appears to be the perfect person to resurrect Griffin, a former rookie of the year slowed by injuries who didnt take a single snap during the 2015 regular season.The Browns, with a laughable track record for developing quarterbacks, signed Griffin to a two-year, $15 million contract in March. Although Jackson hasnt formally selected Griffin as his starter, the 26-year-old is expected to line up behind center when Cleveland opens the season on Sept. 11 at Philadelphia.Before then, Griffin needs to knock off the rest of the rust that was apparent during the teams spring minicamps. Griffins explosiveness and mobility seems to have returned following two knee surgeries, but his throws were off target and he lacked touch on deep passes. In time, those components of his game should improve.Griffin, too, may have to work on his off-field game. His fall in Washington was accentuated by a rift with some teammates, who resented the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner and failed to have his back when things began to crumble.Hes got a clean slate with the Browns, but Griffin said hes not overtly trying to win over teammates. He believes his actions will determine how hes perceived.Thats the best thing you can do is be who you are, show them that what you might have heard maybe some of its true, he said. But a lot of the stuff can be extremely false. You can come in here and prove to them who you really are, and thats what the blessing of a new opportunity with a new team and new organization has blessed me with -- a chance to just go out, be myself and let guys make their own determination about who I am.Here are some other things to watch aas the Browns, who havent had a winning record since 2007, open training camp:CROWELLS MISTAKE: Running back Isaiah Crowell caused a recent firestorm by posting a horrific illustration to protest recent shootings by police.dddddddddddd Crowell apologized for his actions and pledged to donate his first game check next season (more than $35,000) to a fund for fallen officers. But while Crowell has tried to make amends, it remains to be seen if its enough to satisfy fans. The Browns are under pressure to release Crowell, their leading rusher last season.HUE TURN: With boundless energy, Jackson is determined to make the Browns not only competitive but champions. His second stint as a head coach -- he led Oakland to an 8-8 record in 2011 -- is a monumental challenge as Cincinnatis former offensive coordinator leads a franchise stuck in a cycle of losing and dysfunction.HEALING HADEN: Former Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden will likely be eased into camp as he continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery. Haden was limited to just five games last season because of concussions and his NFL career could be at a crossroads. Clevelands defensive backfield has been overhauled with a mix of veterans and rookies fighting for jobs. Troubled cornerback Justin Gilbert may be down to his last chance after two underwhelming seasons.LINE DANCING: Clevelands offensive line, once considered the teams strongest unit and anchored by Joe Thomas, has a new look following the departures of Pro Bowl center Alex Mack and starting right tackle Mitchell Schwartz. Cam Erving struggled as a rookie playing both guard spots, but the Browns are giving the former Florida State standout a chance to replace Mack. Alvin Bailey and rookies Shon Coleman and Spencer Drango will battle for the job at right tackle.PLAYMAKERS WANTED: Jackson has made fixing Clevelands receiving group a top priority, and its a massive project. He was spoiled with the Bengals, who had star A.J. Green and others as targets. The Browns believe rookie Corey Coleman, the No. 15 overall pick who scored 20 touchdowns last season for Baylor, can have an immediate impact. Quarterback-turned-receiver Terrelle Pryor continues to show promise as a playmaker.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
