ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins players and coaches say their turnaround from 0-2 to 4-2 is a matter of resilience.Coach Jay Gruden and cornerback Bashaud Breeland cited a strong response to adversity, and quarterback Kirk Cousins said no one hit the panic button. But this four-game winning streak isnt just about next man up, taking it one play at a time, never quitting, always believing or any other sports clich?.No, Washington has climbed back up the NFC East standings on a foundation of a balanced offense, clutch defense and improved play from Cousins over the past four weeks. The Redskins go into Week 5 at the Detroit Lions feeling good about themselves -- but not too good, knowing how quickly things can change.We know were on fire, but in order to stay on fire in this league you have to take it one day at a time, wide receiver DeSean Jackson said. You cant peak. We have the Lions ahead of us and thats a big game for us. Every game is big.After opening with home losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, the Redskins have come up big in victories against the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles .Its no coincidence that three of those four wins came with a heavy emphasis on the running game. The Redskins had 89 passing attempts to 39 rushes in the first two weeks of the season, and since then Cousins has thrown the ball 138 times and handed it off 109 times.The three-headed running attack of feature back Matt Jones, rookie Robert Kelley and third-down back Chris Thompson has allowed Cousins to get a breather and given him more time to execute the offense.It benefits everybody when we have good balance, Gruden said Monday. We love that recipe, man. Its been good to us when we can run the ball as much as we throw it.Throwing it has been better, too. After one touchdown and three interceptions in the first two games, Cousins has eight touchdowns and three interceptions during the streak.His QB rating was over 100 against the Giants and Browns, and while the picks have been a problem he has been good enough to make up for his mistakes.On the other side of the ball, the defense has withstood a season-ending injury to safety DeAngelo Hall, potentially season-ending ones to safety David Bruton and nose tackle Kedric Golston and injuries to Breeland and cornerback Dashaun Phillips.After getting torched for 38 points and 437 yards by Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, and giving up 27 points to Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, the Redskins defense hasnt allowed a second-half touchdown in four consecutive games.Theyre doing it a lot of different ways, Gruden said. Theyve mixed up their coverages and stunts and stopped the run game better in the second half. We give up some big plays, but they bend but dont break and hold to field goals, which is excellent.Defensive end Chris Baker said it has been a case of playing better fundamental football, which includes solving the tackling problem that had cropped up. A big difference is the defense is better rested because it has improved on third down of late.The Ravens and Eagles converted on just seven of 27 third downs over the past two weeks. And the Redskins defense hasnt allowed a touchdown since four minutes into the Baltimore game, a streak of almost eight full quarters.Defensive coordinator Joe Barry was criticized for early season struggles, and now he and the position coaches are getting some credit for the improvements and adjustmentsThose guys are doing an excellent job coaching those guys up, but the players are making plays and thats what its about, Gruden said. Theyre getting off blocks and theyre making the tackles when they have to make the tackles. ... Theyre pursuing to the football, theyre playing hard, theyre playing with confidence (and) theyre making plays.Game notes Gruden said receiver Josh Doctson will be shut down for a few weeks to rest a lingering left Achilles tendon injury. Injured reserve remains a possibility for the first-round pick. ... Linebacker Sua Cravens will increase his workload this week as he tries to come back from a concussion that caused him to miss the Eagles game, Gruden said. Its unclear if Cravens will be ready to face the Lions.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Curry Shoes Fast Shipping .S.

PAUL, Minn. Curry Shoes China . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

The StarCraft II World Championship Global Playoffs opening week playoff concluded after four grueling days of intense action. The conclusion of the group stage whittled the 16 qualified Starcraft II professionals to a mere eight for the showdown at BlizzCon. Of the final 16 players, only six were non-Korean representatives; another example of the regions ironclad grip on the game. The final eight players will playoff in a single-elimination bracket for the chance at the $500,000 prize pool in the World Championship Global Finals.The favorites to win the entire event were arguably Park Dark Ryung Woo, Team expert Byun ByuN Hyun Woo, and KT Rolsters Jun TY Tae Yang. Each South Korean expert was the best at their style and, oftentimes, their race. Dark entered as the dominating force in StarCraft II with a banner 2016 year. Hes the one player that is impossible to truly game plan for and pilots his Zerg army with different looks in every game to throw an opponent off. ByuN could be considered the best at microing in the entirety of professional StarCraft competition. He was dominating when he won his championship at the GSL Season 2 finals and won his games due to his ability to outplay in fights instead of macro. And finally, TY was the Terran player to watch for the majority of the year. He was a master of unpredictable strategy and dismantling opponents or tilting them to losses.The opening week closed the book on eight players, but the most surprising exit was Samsung Galaxys Kang Solar Min Soo. This Zerg master was considered to be a major threat for the championship, but his disappointing 0-2 performance was a product of poor adaptability in pressure situations over raw outplay. On the other side, the most surprising result for the final eight qualified players was the success of True eSports Miko?aj Elazer Ogonowski.Strongest after opening week:1. Milleniums Tobias ShoWTimE SieberThe only player to qualify out of the group stages wwithout a single loss, ShoWTimE played impressively from beginning to end.dddddddddddd He came into the tournament with little fanfare and exited the opening week with the largest message to everyone watching: this is my championship. ShoWTimEs strength throughout his matches was his ability to force a grinding pace onto his opposition. In addition to his elite macro play, the slower pace forced the opponents to unforced economic and unit composition mistakes.His best victory over ByuN was a demonstration of how excellent defense and macro play could defeat even the best actions per minute. But, ShoWTimEs pace and passivity at times did create awkward situations in his otherwise brilliant performances. It will be a weakness to monitor if ShoWTimE wants to continue his positive momentum.2. DarkThe favorite to take down the tournament looked every bit the part. Dark showcased his world-class, and arguably best, macro play by expanding and adjusting his base and compositions faster than his opposition; his signature early mobility upgrades to units and Overlords was a constant in his matches. His ability to truly max out supplies, fast expansion, and apply ridiculous pressure at the same time distances him from his opposition. The list of Darks strengths may prove too strong for the rest of the bracket.His lone blemish in the opening week was a loss against KT Rolsters Kim Stats Dae Yeob. In the set, and especially the loss, he was slow in adjusting his composition to the opposition. There were several moments where Dark was too slow to strike with a superior ground army or lost his element of surprise with the superior scouting from Stats. More concerning was Darks micro decisions against units with better mobility like blink stalkers and his insistence to just run his important units into unfavorable fights. ' ' '
