Prior to his current job as the head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Kent Austin, a former all-star quarterback himself, has had two other opportunities to work closely with quarterbacks in the CFL, and on both occasions, those QBs were named the leagues Outstanding Player. In 2005 as the offensive coordinator in Toronto, he worked with the veteran Damon Allen, who was entering his 21st year in the CFL. For two decades the much-maligned Allen had fought for respect from his critics, who had always called him a great athlete and runner but seldom mentioned his passing skills. Prior to that memorable season Allen had played in Edmonton, Memphis, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto and BC and in 20 years had averaged 202 yards/game passing, and had only thrown over 25 touchdowns in a single season once. Enter Kent Austin, a quarterback himself for BC and Saskatchewan, and one of only four players to ever have a 6,000-plus yard passing season. In 2005 with the Argos, Allen threw for 5,082 yards, a career best. He found the end zone 33 times on the season. He also wasnt told to change his style and eliminate his running talent - instead he was instructed to complement it with a concerted effort to improve his passing accuracy. Allen would comment that year that, "he had never worked with a coach that held him that accountable before." Allen would go on to say that, "coach Kent would stand behind him in practice early on and quiz him after every throw, asking what did you see, what was the read, and where should you go with the ball," and expected immediate answers. That year Allen was named the CFLs Most Outstanding Player. In the 2007 season Austin landed the head coaching job in Saskatchewan and had even more say as to which quarterback would start, and how that pivot would be handled and coached, and for Austin, that meant a hands on approach. That year his student would be Kerry Joseph again, a QB that was an athlete first and a quarterback second according to the media. Joseph was a former safety in his NFL days but was able to play his favourite position when arriving in Ottawa in 2003. Over the course of four years as a starter Joseph, much like Allen at that time, was being praised for his ability to run the ball, but there were very few mentions of his passing prowess. Joseph was averaging 236 yards passing per game prior to 2007, and had averaged 19.8 TDs/year for the four seasons. Enter Austin, who Joseph says, "expanded my knowledge of the game, and took my mental game to a whole new level." According to KJ, Austin was a perfectionist in practice, always making sure he understood what to do with the football on every play. "Coach Austin would always say, you have to know on every play where you should be going with the football," Joseph recalled. The quarterback knowing what he should be doing with the ball is at times different than what he actually does with the ball, even on successful plays. Just because a QB finds an open receiver for a long TD, or scrambles to buy time, and makes a play down the field doesnt necessarily mean it was what he should have done with the ball. Joseph while playing for Austin had to know what he should have done with it on every play, despite the outcome of the play. In 2007 the Riders would win their third Grey Cup in franchise history, and Kerry Joseph won the leagues Most Outstanding Player award. What does all this mean for Henry Burris? Well it is hard to imagine that Burris could improve on his numbers from last year. He threw for a league-leading 5,367 yards and 43 touchdowns, both personal bests. However if there is anyone that could coach an even better year out of Burris it would be Kent Austin. After Austin signed in Hamilton, Joseph sent a text to Burris and congratulated him for getting Austin as his coach, and told him to prepare for his best year ever. In 2012 the MOP in the CFL was Chad Owens, and no player deserved it more. When you average over 200 yards per game you are the most outstanding player in the league. However, if in 2013 Burris stays healthy, and like Allen in 05, and Joseph in 07, takes his "mental game" to a whole new level, he just may add a second MOP award to his resume.

Buccaneers Jerseys Authentic China .Y. - For once, Clayton Kershaw was glad to see a long shutout streak end.ATLANTA -- Jacob deGrom hopes Mets manager Terry Collins lets him make one last start. With the way hes pitching, deGrom sees no reason to stop now even though New York might want to keep the rookie under 185 innings for the season. "I told him I would like to make my next one," deGrom said. "Why not?" DeGrom struck out 10 in six innings and the Mets finished a three-game sweep that knocked the Atlanta Braves out of the playoff hunt Sunday with a 10-2 victory. A half-game out of first place in the NL East on July 29, the Braves have gone 18-30 since then to fall 15 back of Washington. Atlanta was eliminated from the wild-card chase when Pittsburgh beat Milwaukee 1-0 earlier Sunday. The Braves lost for the 14th time in 18 September games as deGrom struck out 10 in six innings to extend his impressive streak since June 21. In his last start, de Grom (9-6) tied the single-game major league record by striking out his first eight batters. Against Atlanta, the shaggy-haired right-hander struck out eight of the first 11 batters he faced. "I was just trying to stay within myself early on and then if I needed, try to throw it by somebody with a little bit on it," deGrom said. "I was actually trying to do that consciously. That was the game plan." DeGrom allowed three hits, three walks and two runs -- one earned -- as he threw 63 of 100 pitches for strikes. In his last 15 starts, the rookie is 9-2 with a 1.90 ERA over 99 1-3 innings. DeGrom also used his bat, earning his second career RBI with a squeeze bunt that put New York ahead 6-2 in the sixth. The light-hitting Braves dropped to 8-60 when scoring two runs or less and got swept for the seventh time this year in a series of three or more games. Atlanta began the day ranked next-to-last in runs scored in the majors and was third in the NL in strikeouts. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons said it was hard to believe the team has been such a mess offensively. "The whole year we knew we were struggling at the plate to score runs, but we were hopeful that it was goiing to turn around," Simmons said.dddddddddddd. "You try to grind it out. It never happened." The Mets went up in the first on Daniel Murphys RBI groundout and 2-0 in the second on Tejadas sacrifice fly. They led 5-0 in the fourth when Curtis Granderson scored on Christian Bethancourts passed ball, Anthony Recker had a sacrifice fly and Tejada hit his fourth homer. Braves starter Ervin Santana (14-10) said its hard on pitchers to keep games close when the offence struggles so badly to produce. Santana gave up six hits and five runs with two walks and four strikeouts in five innings. "As a pitcher, we have our confidence up, but you either have to throw a complete game shutout or something like that to get a win," he said. "Its very tough." Atlanta made it 5-2 in the fifth. Justin Upton scored when Andrelton Simmons reached on shortstop Tejadas fielding error and Emilio Bonifacio drew a walk. But deGrom, who faced eight batters in the inning, struck out Phil Gosselin to leave the bases loaded. DeGrom said Collins told him that he and general manager Sandy Alderson will soon decide on a potential 23rd major league start for the rookie. DeGrom started seven games at Triple-A Las Vegas before making his debut May 15 in a 1-0 home loss to the Yankees. "I want to get to 185 (innings) so theres no limit next year," deGrom said. "I want to get to the 200 mark with no problem next year." UP NEXT Mets: RHP Bartolo Colon (14-12) is 2-4 with a 3.07 ERA in six career starts against Washington. The NL East champion Nationals begin a three-game series in New York on Tuesday. Braves: RHP Aaron Harang (11-11) is 16-7 with a 4.15 ERA in 27 career starts against Pittsburgh. The Pirates open a four-game series Monday at Turner Field. GETTING EVEN The Mets swept a three-game series at Turner Field for the first time since Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 2007. New York won 10 of 19 games this year for its first season series victory against the Braves since 2006.
