to win the league.So its a little bit of a scary momen

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Even though Latavius Murray is getting the ball less for the Oakland Raiders, hes doing much more when he has it.With the Raiders finally giving him needed support in the backfield with rookies Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington and fortifying the line with Kelechi Osemele, Murray is off to a fast start this season.Im not in there as much, so it definitely is less taxing on my body. I feel a little fresher, he said. Regardless of when I go in there and how many times I go in there I just have to do what I have to do.While Murray has seen his playing time drop a bit this season, his production has been stellar. He is averaging 5.3 yards per carry with two touchdowns and has gained 86.5 yards from scrimmage per game.That has helped fuel a productive running game with Richard adding a 75-yard touchdown run in the opener and Washington added 46 yards on six carries last week. In all, the Raiders have rushed for 322 yards in two games and are averaging 6.3 yards per carry.I love handing that ball off and all of the sudden you just see them going, quarterback Derek Carr said. I remember, my rookie year for whatever reason, that wasnt the case. Its gotten a little better and then this year its taken off here in the first two games.While Murray had some success last year when he ran for 1,066 yards and made the Pro Bowl as an alternate, he appeared to tire as games and the season went on with Oakland having no capable backup tailbacks.Murray averaged just 2.2 yards per carry in the fourth quarter and his production plummeted after the first half of the season. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry the first eight games, compared to 3.3 the final eight.I told him when we had all of these running backs start to play well in training camp wed sit back there and watch and I said, `Man, thats the best thing that ever happened for you, Carr said. He would just laugh because as a competitor he wants every rep. But I said, `Man, just remember thats the best thing that happened to you. Because every ball he gets hes going to be 100 percent fresh.Murray has broken nine tackles already this season on his 29 offensive touches, according to Sports Info Solutions. That 31 percent broken tackle rate far exceeds his mark a year ago when he did it just 12.7 percent of the time.One of those came in the opener when Murray bulled over New Orleans James Laurinaitis for a touchdown run that prompted Carr to call him Angry Tay. That has been part of a concerted effort Murray has made to be more physical in hopes of turning negative plays into positive gainers.This year Im just making sure I use my size to my advantage, breaking tackles trying to run through guys, he said. When that ball is in my hands, whoever is on the other side of the ball becomes the victim of angry Tay.Game notesCB David Amerson was limited after leaving Sundays game with a concussion but coach Jack Del Rio is hopeful he can play this week. ...

In the aftermath of defeat at San Siro on the weekend, Simeone hinted that he may now have to think about his future in the Spanish capital.For me, it is time to reflect. I think I have to think about things. It wouldnt be good if I didnt want to reflect after losing two finals, Simeone told reporters following defeat to Real. Simeone shows his anguish after watching Atletico lose to Real in the Champions League final However, despite clearly being disappointed having ended the campaign without a trophy, Simeone will be at the Vicente Calderon at the start of next season, says Balague.It all started in the press conference after the Champions League final when Simeone himself said he was going to think about what to do next, Balague told Sky Sports News HQ.He wasnt actually pointing at his future, not with those words, but certainly left a question mark.The club immediately said: hes just upset, thats all it is. We have been planning the season for six months, the club said, and we want him to stay until 2020, which is the end of his contract.In the middle of that, of course, in the 2017/18 season, Atletico Madrid will move to a new stadium and they want him to be the coach there. But Simeone has not said a word since then, suggesting that there are problems.Atletis boss, though, does want his employers to bring in more players over the summer, in particular forwards, in order to help him realise his managerial ambitions.One of those striking targets is former Atletico frontman Costa, who left the club to join Chelsea two years ago, although Simeones future at the club is not thought to be dependent on re-signing the Brazilian, says Balague. Yes, Diego Costa is one of them, but he hasnt put the condition that if Costa doesnt come, he will go.dddddddddddd Guillem Balague on Simeones transfer targets I think the kind of problems that there are is number one, players, said Balague. If he is going to win titles, the Champions League, he is not going to do it with Fernando Torres up front.He needs a bigger striker and a bigger scorer throughout the season because you saw that in the league, 18 goals conceded, all that Atletico Madrid had was the best defence in Europe.But they didnt score enough goals, which made them short to win the league.So its a little bit of a scary moment for Atletico Madrid. The club is certain that he is staying but Simeone will say: I will with conditions.I do feel that he was upset and wanted to take all the blame, all the responsibility for the defeat and didnt want the players to have any, so he said if I failed - and he used the word for the first time in four-and-a-half years at Atletico Madrid - then it is down to me.I feel its that and his conditions are that he wants a stronger squad. He now realises that with more money coming from television, more investment from China, they are a healthier club and he wants better players. Simeone with Atletico president Enrique Cerezo and sports manager Jose Luis Perez Caminero Yes, Diego Costa is one of them, but he hasnt put the condition as such that if Costa doesnt come, he will go.It will be an interesting summer for Atletico Madrid and it was a double hurt for Atletico Madrid fans after losing the Champions League.As for where Simeone may end up when he does finally decide to leave Atletico, Balague believes the 46-year-old will have many suitors from all over Europe interested in his services.He hasnt got a team in the Premier League, he said. He will have Inter Milan at some point when he wants it, but I do think he is going to stay.Also See:Simeone questions futureRonaldo seals Real gloryAtletico blew itSimeone to stay at Atletico ' ' '
