OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- If Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman gets an extra step on a cornerback for a touchdown catch, it could be the result of dropping some pounds this offseason.The lost weight didnt come from a diet or increased exercise. It was a haircut.Perriman doesnt know why he decided to clip off his signature dreadlocks, which hung below his shoulders. He just woke up one morning and got rid of them.I feel much lighter, Perriman said. Once I cut it, I weighed myself, and I lost three or four pounds. It was crazy.Perriman caused a buzz on Twitter late last month when he posted a picture that showed he had shaved his head and now sported a bald look.?The Ravens hope Perrimans trim brings similar results to the last time one of their wide receivers said goodbye to his dreadlocks. Before the 2013 season, Torrey Smith went with a shorter hairstyle and produced career numbers. He caught 65 passes that season for 1,128 yards and four touchdowns.Perriman, who returned to practice Tuesday and expects to play in the regular-season opener, likes his new haircut. In fact, he has just one complaint.It just gets cold sometimes, he said with a smile.Tom Kuhnhackl Islanders Jersey .J.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.Negating the AFLs most potent forward line wont be light work at the SCG on Saturday night but Sydney hope many hands will make it happen.Team defence has long been in vogue but few sides have predicated the need quite like Adelaide.The Crows star-studded forward line boasts no shortage of threats and looms as one of the most imposing hurdle the Swans must clear if theyre to avoid another straight-sets finals exit.Eddie Betts, Taylor Walker, Josh Jenkins and Tom Lynch are all capable of busting the semi-final open , having each booted 40-plus goals this year.No team this year have bettered Adelaides average of 16.7 goals a game.Their starting six are all genuine forwards and they know each other really well. Its a great mix of talls and smalls ... theyve got such good balance and theyre so well drilled, Swans defence coach Henry Playfair said.They really spread the load well.Well be relying on team defence. We expect the guys to get across and help, we try and prevent any one-on-ones. Thats part of the back six mentality then youve got the team mentality of midfielders getting back to fill space and forwards putting pressure on, preventing any quick balls coming in.Its an approach the Swans have nailed for most of the year, conceding an average 9.6 goals to claim the title of the leagues stingiest side.It went awry in week one of the finals, when Greater Western Sydney recorded an upset 36-point win in the most high-stakes derby yet.The frequency, speed and precision at which the ball came into the forward line didnt make life easy for Sydney defenders Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe and Aliir Aliir. Playfair noted they could have done better.WWe hung in there and and fought on but we didnt necessarily go out and get after the game enough, from our back half, Playfair said.ddddddddddddEven though we were under the pump with some quick entries, when we got our chance we didnt really take them on.We just have to play with a bit more intensity, energy and life in our game. Dont sit back and expect it to happen.Rampe played on Lynch, while Grundy handled Jenkins in round four when the Crows prevailed by 10 points in a classic.Nick Smith will again be handed the job on in-form livewire Betts, who booted six goals in the Crows elimination final win over North Melbourne.Nick has played on him previously and knows him really well, so at times hell got to him. Eddie also spends a fair bit of time up the ground as well, Playfair said.Thats a different challenge and I wont divulge too much on how well handle it.But Eddie is such a dangerous player and youve got to have someone watching him pretty closely all the time.SYDNEYS MASTER MISERS *Conceded a league-best average of 9.6 goals a game in 2016 *Dane Rampe included in 2016 All-Australian side, while Nick Smiths capacity to shut down the leagues best small forwards was rewarded with All-Australian selection in 2014 *Havent conceded more than 14 goals in a match at the SCG since 2013 ADELAIDES FEARSOME FORWARDS *Averaging a league-best 16.7 goals a game in 2016*Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins and Tom Lunch all included in 40-man All Australian squad this year*Have booted 14 goals or more in 19 of 23 games in 2016.
