LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Rookie centre Stefen Wisniewski is trying to learn the Oakland Raiders offence without a playbook. And if thats not bizarre enough, the second-round draft pick from Penn State spent a couple of hours Thursday working with teammates at an indoor pool in suburban Atlanta. Such is life during the NFL lockout. "Its crazy. I havent even been out (to Oakland) because the lockout ended the day I was drafted," Wisniewski said. "So its a blessing that (quarterback) Jason (Campbell) has been here to go over the blocking schemes and stuff like that. Getting on the field has been great." Defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who lives in the metropolitan area, organized the mini-camp. Wisniewski would likely be working at the Raiders team headquarters in Alameda, Calif. -- alongside his uncle, assistant offensive line coach Steve Wisniewski. Now Stefan Wisniewski isnt even allowed to talk to him. "I havent tried to contact him and he hasnt tried to contact me," Stefen Wisniewski said. "Its weird, but this is a strange time in the NFL." Oakland linebacker Quentin Groves cant imagine what its like to be a rookie under these circumstances. No official mini-camp. No official offseason training activities. "It kind of takes away from the rookie experience with the vets yelling at you. Hey, rook. You got all that money. Now its time to show up," Groves said. "Now youre talking about these rookies just getting thrown into the fire. Mini-camp, OTAs -- those things give you a little bit of a chance to get adjusted to the speed of the game, but if you take that away, all you have is training camp. "And what if we dont have training camp? Theyll just get thrown out there on the field. Thatll be tough." About 25 players participated in the pool session, which was designed as a cross-training recovery workout after two days on the field and in the weight room. "Its just getting them moving, getting their heart rate up and then we finish off with the (heavy resistance rubber) band work," said Competitive Edge Sports founder Chip Smith, whos hosting the camp with Seymour. "Some of these guys cant swim. Thats OK. We put flotation devices on them, but hopefully we teach them a life skill." Wisniewski can swim, so thats no concern. Getting an understanding of the playbook is a different matter. Thats where Campbell comes in. After playing last year under offensive co-ordinator-turned-head coach Hue Jackson, Campbell knows whats expected of Wisniewski on the field. "I tried to go off some of the stuff Hue does in practice and some of the plays Ive run before that I know hes real high on," Campbell said. "Its just a way to introduce it to the young guys for the terminology but also to reintroduce to myself and the other veterans." Linebacker Kamerion Wimbley learned enough from the pool session that he plans to follow the off-season training patterns of Groves and Campbell and make water activities a weekly routine. "Its a total body workout," Wimbley said. "You work every muscle you can possibly think of. Your heart is pounding hard, and its a very strenuous cardiovascular workout. Theres everything tested in this workout." <a href="http://www.jerseysshoptimberwolvesonline.com/womens-kevin-martin-basketball-jersey/">Kevin Martin Swingman Jersey</a>.

JOHNS, N.Colorado Avalanche 4 Winnipeg Jets 3 (Shootout) – With the loss the Jets have gone five straight home games without a win. They did however pick up a point in three of those five games. Jets record is now 14-14-5, their home record 7-7-4. The Jets got off to the start they wanted with Blake Wheeler scoring his eighth of the season 24 seconds into the game, with assists to Toby Enstrom and Bryan Little. Enstrom snapped an eight game pointless drought, while Little now has 21 points in his last 21 games and has points in 22 of the teams 33 games this season. After failing to score on a two man advantage, the Jets did get a power play goal from Michael Frolik to take a 2-0 lead 5:25 into the game. It was the first time in four tries this season that they did not score while up two men. For Frolik it was his eighth of the year and first power play goal of the season. He deflected a Jacob Trouba shot, giving him his first power play point and his first home point. Matt Duchene snapped a seven game goalless drought at 15:08, scoring his 13th to make it 2-1 after the first, despite the Jets outshooting the Avs 14-4. In the last three first periods the Jets have outshot the opposition 37-11. In 29 games Colorado had only given up 17 first period goals. The second period was a reversal with the Avalanche outshooting the Jets 14-4 and getting goals from Ryan OReilly and Duchene to take a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes. Duchenes second of the night came with 2.6 seconds left in the period, on a play that he started in his own end by picking off a Jets pass and breaking out with Nathan MacKinnon. The Jets regrouped in the third period outshooting the Avs 13-5 and getting a power play goal from Wheeler to tie the game. Wheeler now has nine goals on the year and has scored four in the last five games after going 14 games without a goal. It was Wheelers 13th career two goal game. Grant Clitsome picked up his second assist of the night on the goal; Mark&nbbsp;Scheifele had the other assist.dddddddddddd It was the second time this season the Jets have scored two power play goals in the same game. Jets went to their sixth power play of the night at 14:10 of the third but could not find the go ahead goal. In the overtime period, the Jets had five shots to Colorados three. Both Semyon Varlamov and Ondrej Pavelec made some big saves in this game as at times both sides opened it up and traded chances. The game went to a short shootout. Devin Setoguchi failed to score, Duchene did, Andrew Ladd did not score, while PA Parenteau did and the game was over. It was the Jets 11th overtime game of the year (1-1 in overtime and 5-4 in shootouts.) The Jets close out the three game home stand Saturday afternoon against Dallas (TSN 1290). Wheeler led the way with six shots on goal; Little won nine of 13 face-offs, Dustin Byfuglien played 29:20. Trouba played 25:52 the second highest total of the season. Jets how have 14 power play goals, 11 of them scored at home. This from Blake Wheeler post game - "they took advantage of our mistakes. Weve been taking positives out of losses too long. We didnt do enough to win the game." Coach Claude Noel agreed. "Tough point to lose. We played really good in the first; we got the building involved with the two first goals, and then didnt do the same things in the second. We missed the net, didnt shoot very much. Again, its game management. Turnovers in our own zone. Then get out of the second period 2-2, regroup and away you go." The goal with 2.6 seconds made it 3-2 for Colorado a team that is now 18-0 when leading after two. "We came back in the third, our power play was good again," continued Coach Noel. "Then we get to the shootout and weve been on the good side and the bad side. Winning in the NHL is not an easy process. Were a .500 team and thats not good enough. In the conference we are in, its not even close." <a href="http://www.cheapjerseyscustom.us.com/">cheap custom jerseys</a>  <a href="http://www.wholesalejerseysstore.us/">wholesale jerseys store</a> <a href="http://www.cheapjerseysown.us/">cheap jerseys</a> <a href="http://www.cheapjerseysmarts.us/">Cheap Jerseys</a><a href="http://www.wholesalejerseyscc.us.com/">wholesale jerseys</a> ' ' '
