PHOENIX - Doug Baldwin led the Seattle Seahawks in catches and yards receiving. Malik McDowell Seahawks Jersey .He ranked 42nd in the NFL in both categories.Forty-second.Its no surprise that Hall of Famer and NFL Networks Deion Sanders dissed Baldwin and the rest of Seattles receiving group.Few analysts give them any credit. So after Baldwin had six catches for 106 yards in the NFC championship game against Green Bay, he directed one of his rants toward Sanders.Thats just what pedestrian, average, mediocre receivers do. Whats up my man Deion Sanders? Baldwin said right after the game.Criticism of Seattles receivers comes from ex-players-turned-broadcasters, other reporters and plenty of fans on social media.Its thrown in my face day in and day out, Baldwin said. I have friends that text-message me whatever is out there. I dont mind it because I use it for extra motivation. I have a shirt underneath my sweatshirt that says, Pedestrians with attitude. We enjoy the label because we embrace it.The New England Patriots arent saying anything this week to motivate Baldwin even more going into Sundays Super Bowl.They work hard, they play hard and they are very passionate, Patriots safety Patrick Chung said of Seattles receivers. I see that on film. Im not going to label them. You can say what you want to say about them, but they are here for a reason. They are here because they are good and they can make plays.Baldwin has calmed down as the Big Game approaches. He even said hed rather Marshawn Lynch win the MVP award on Sunday.We are not about statistics here, obviously, Baldwin said. We only care about winning games and winning championships. We know the formula that we have put in place is if Marshawn wins the MVP then we have done our job on offence. That means that we have controlled the pace of the game.Theres no Megatron, Dez Bryant or A.J. Green on the Patriots, either. They also have an unheralded group of receivers.Julian Edelman led New England with 92 catches, but he was 25th in the league in yards receiving with 972. Brandon LaFell had 74 catches for 953 yards. Tom Brady has only had one elite receiver — Randy Moss — in his career and they set records together during New Englands 16-0 regular season in 2007.Its a really selfless group, guys that are always putting the team first, Brady said. Everybody has a little different skillset. I think that once we hit our stride and everybody found a role for themselves, they really embraced their role. None of them have really played in a Super Bowl before. Hopefully we bring our excitement and as much enthusiasm as possible and we go out and play as best as we possibly can.Jermaine Kearse, Seattles No. 2 wideout, had 38 catches for 537 yards and one TD in the regular season. But Kearse had three catches for a career-best 129 yards and one TD in a 31-17 playoff win over Carolina. Kearse then caught a 35-yard TD pass in overtime to win the NFC championship game.Its just about maximizing opportunities, Kearse said. Just whenever you have an opportunity youve got to make the most of it. I just try to go out there and compete no matter what the stage is if its regular season or its a preseason game or its a playoff game.The Seahawks thought they got a legitimate No. 1 receiver when they acquired Percy Harvin from Minnesota in March 2013 for a trio of draft picks, including a first-rounder.But Harvin missed the first 2 1/2 months that year and was traded to the New York Jets last October. His departure opened the way for Baldwin and Kearse.Obviously we would get more opportunities because we were down a guy, but it was just business as usual for us, Baldwin said.Golden Tate was Seattles top wideout last year. He had 64 catches for 898 yards and one TD in an offence built on Lynchs running and Russell Wilsons scrambling.Tate signed a lucrative deal in free agency with Detroit and made his first Pro Bowl this year after catching 99 passes for 1,331 yards and four TDs. Since Tate proved he could thrive in a pass-heavy offence, perhaps Baldwin will try to do the same in two years when hes an unrestricted free agent.For now, earning another Super Bowl ring is all that matters.Im just trying to focus on the task at hand and living in the moment, Baldwin said. I dont really think I will be able to fathom what we are doing yet (until) a couple years down the line.___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Malik McDowell Youth Jersey .com) - Oregon wasnt going to let Arizona ruin its national title dreams for a second straight season.

Toledo compiled an 8-4 record during the regular season, including a 7-1 mark in Mid-American Conference play. The Rockets won the final two games of the regular season, and are making their second appearance in the GoDaddy Bowl (it was known as the GMAC Bowl back in 2005, though). Toledo is 9-4 all-time in bowl games. Arkansas State, of the Sun Belt Conference, nearly backed into the postseason, but saved itself from a three-game losing streak to end the season with a win over New Mexico State. The Red Wolves have made it to an unprecedented four consecutive GoDaddy Bowls, going 2-1 in their previous three trips to the bowl that features a MAC and Sun Belt school. The GoDaddy Bowl marks the third time in history Toledo and Arkansas State will meet on the football field. The Rockets own a 2-0 all-time lead over the Red Wolves, with victories coming during the 1990 and 1992 seasons in Toledo. Toledo needed a few things to go right in the final week of the regular season for the Ohio-based program to make it to the MAC championship game. But the Rockets were left on the outside looking in when it came to vying for a conference championship. Now theyll turn to their focus on trying to make it 3-0 against ASU all-time. Toledo averaged 247.3 rushing ypg as a unit this season, as sophomore back Kareem Hunt (173 carries, 1,360 yards, 11 touchdowns) led the way for the ground game despite missing three contests due to injury. Terry Swanson (six rushing touchdowns) is also a dangerous threat. Perhaps the Rockets are wondering what could have been, had regular starting quarterback Phillip Ely not been lost to an ACL tear two games into the season. However, backup Logan Woodside performed admirably in Elys absence this season, as Woodside passed for 2,087 yards and 19 touchdowns against just seven interceptions, helping the Rockets to average 34.4 ppg. Alonzo Russell (team-best eight touchdown receptions) and Corey Jones (team- best 66 catches and 812 yards) are the top two targets in the passing game for Woodside. Both receivers are averaging over 60 ypg through the air. Big receiver Justin Olack is third on the team with 19 receptions for 287 yards and four touchdowns. The Rockets won games this season thanks to a strong offense, but lost games because of a defense that seemed to struggle from time to time to slow opponents down. Toledo gave up 29.3 ppg this season and over 400 total yards of offense each game. It was especially troublesome against the pass, as Toledo allowed 282.4 passing ypg and 32 passing scores this season. Linebacker Junior Sylvestre led the team in tackles, registering 94 stops with 9.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups and four quarterback hurries. He and Trent Voss (11 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks) will be looking to keep Arkansas States run game at bay, while Christian Dukes (10 pass breakups) and cornnerback Jordan Haden (three interceptions) will be in charge of containing the Red Wolves pass attack. Malik McDowell Womens Jersey. . Haden is questionable to play however, with an undisclosed listed injury. We are honored to be chosen to play in the GoDaddy Bowl and looking forward to playing a very good Arkansas State team, said Toledo coach Matt Campbell. If the hospitality we received today is any indication, we are going to have a terrific bowl experience when we travel back here. Toledo will have its hands full trying to contain athletic signal caller Fredi Knighten for Arkansas State. The quarterback did it all in 2014, passing for a team-leading 2,874 yards and 19 touchdowns (against just seven interceptions), and added 11 rushing touchdowns with 775 yards on the ground. Knighten alone accounted for 239.5 passing ypg and 64.6 rushing ypg. He led the Red Wolves to 36.1 ppg this season, which included a 68-point outburst in the teams most recent clash against New Mexico State. Like the Rockets, Arkansas State finds itself relying heavily on the run game. The Red Wolves enter the GoDaddy Bowl averaging 229.0 rushing ypg with 35 of their touchdowns this season scored on the ground. Michael Gordon accounted for the good chunk of that total, rushing for 1,064 yards and 13 touchdowns on 149 carries this year. He and Knighten make up much of the run game, with Johnston White (six touchdowns) contributing to the cause. With a focus on the run game, the Red Wolves havent had many breakout players through the air this season. Tres Houston leads the team with 51 receptions, for 607 yards and three touchdowns. Dijon Paschal tops the squad with 642 yards and four receiving scores. We installed the game plan before we left (for Christmas break), and were going back through it again, said Arkansas State coach Blake Anderson. As much as anything, were just trying to get readjusted. You can tell the guys were focused in meetings, and theyve got a healthy respect for our opponent. Theyve watched enough tape to know that Toledo is a good football team, so I think they are prepared in that sense. Defensively, the Red Wolves may find it difficult to slow down a strong Toledo run game. Arkansas State is allowing opponents to gain 191.9 rushing ypg this season, and has surrendered 27 touchdowns on the ground in 12 games played. Overall, the Red Wolves are giving up 27.8 ppg to opponents, and hasnt held a challenger to fewer than 35 points in each of the teams last three games. Linebacker Qushaun Lee enters the bowl game leading his team in tackles, having registered 96 stops this season. But Lees stat line goes beyond the tackles, as hes also recorded seven tackles for loss, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. Defensive end/linebacker JaVon Rolland-Jones tops the Red Wolves with 12 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2014, but hes missed the last two games with a knee injury. He will not suit up for the GoDaddy Bowl. Defensive back Artez Brown (four interceptions, five pass breakups) will likely lock onto either Russell or Jones in an attempt to defend the pass.
