Black- and Whitelist » something which should

IRVING, Texas - Jason Garrett smiled a lot watching Jerry Jones describe a coach-owner relationship that will soon be the longest for Jones in the nearly 26 years since he bought the Dallas Cowboys.They sat side-by-side Thursday announcing a five-year contract that Garrett earned by leading the Cowboys to the playoffs for the first time since 2009.And the significance wasnt lost on Jones, who didnt even have to be reminded that the coaching changes were much more frequent than he thought they would be when he bought the team, fired Tom Landry after his 29th season and hired Jimmy Johnson in 1989.For the first time, he has a coach with a shot at reaching the 10-year mark — and more than that counting the three-plus seasons he was offensive co-ordinator.The only time I ever thought like that was when I naively thought that when I bought the Cowboys, I saw what Coach Landry had been and I thought, Well, shoot, Ill get a coach and well be sitting here 20 years from now looking back at what weve done and well just be going along here and well have our ups and downs but thats the way it works, said Jones, who has hired seven head coaches. Well, we all know it really doesnt work that way.The continuity goes well beyond Garrett, with defensive co-ordinator Rod Marinelli signing a three-year deal along with Scott Linehan, the play-caller for Tony Romo this season who will now have the title of offensive co-ordinator.Bill Callahan, who was offensive co-ordinator and offensive line coach but had play-calling duties stripped when Linehan was hired last year, took a job Thursday as line coach for NFC East rival Washington.Jones said he expects all the other assistants to return on three-year deals as well after the Cowboys reached the divisional round before losing to Green Bay.I think one of the best things weve done over the last few years, and Im a beneficiary of it, but the continuity to keep a program in place, Garrett said. Whether its an offensive system, a defensive system or a system on special teams, but maybe more than that an overarching principle of how we want this football team to be.Jones made it to five seasons with Johnson, but that relationship was virtually broken when Jones made an off-hand remark that he could get any one of 500 coaches to lead the Cowboys after they won consecutive Super Bowls under Johnson in 1992-93.The Cowboys were on their fifth coach in 16 years when Jones fired Wade Phillips in the middle of the 2010 season and promoted Garrett.And the former backup quarterback on Dallas three Super Bowl winners in the 1990s had his own issues with job security through three straight 8-8 seasons that ended with losses that kept the Cowboys out of the post-season. Not anymore.The nature of this commitment from the Cowboys is very significant, said Jones, who will play Garrett about $6 million per season in the $30 million deal. Its substantive, and what it says is how much we feel and how good we feel about Jasons ability to lead and coach our team in the future.Linehan, who was the offensive co-ordinator for five years in Detroit before becoming passing game co-ordinator, inherited an offence with skill players in place and turned DeMarco Murray into the NFL rushing leader. Romo had the most efficient season of his career, and Dez Bryant led the league with 16 touchdowns receiving.Garrett gave up play-calling for the first time last year, but reinserted himself in the process during Callahans one season with those duties. He didnt come close to doing that with Linehan, who was with him on the staff at Miami in 2005.He allowed me to get away from the offence more than I had in the past because of the confidence level I had in him. I thought he did great job coming in here and dealing with the staff that was in place, a system that was in place, Garrett said. Did a great job kind of maximizing the way it was — the people, the system and then adding to it. And making it better.With the coaches in place, Jones turns his focus to the biggest free agents on his roster — Bryant and Murray.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Air Max 720 Italia .

Watch the action live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV, starting with Football Night in America at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Age and injuries seem to have caught up to the 2013 Steelers and Mike Tomlins current bunch is not in its accustomed spot as one of the heavyweights in the AFC. Since Chuck Nolls first winning season in 1972 the Steelers have had only seven losing seasons over a 40-year span with the low-water mark being 5-11 in 1988. Over that same time frame Pittsburgh has won 20 division championships, eight AFC crowns and is footballs only six-time Super Bowl champions. This is not an organization used to failure or looking up at the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North standings. In fact, the Steelers have treated the Queen City like a second home over the years, winning 11 of their last 12 at Paul Brown Stadium before last Monday nights 20-10 setback to Marvin Lewis crew. Perhaps no team has had a more difficult start to the 2013 season than the Steelers, though, and now the team will try to avoid its first 0-3 start since 2000. Used to kicking off a new campaign in style, especially at home in Heinz Field, Pittsburgh lost far more than a game in Week 1 when Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey, defensive leader Larry Foote and running back LaRod Stephens- Howling all went down with season-ending injuries during an ugly 16-9 setback against Tennessee. "Weve got a lot of work to do," Tomlin said at the time. "Nobody cares about our problems. Theyre glad weve got them. We need to understand that. We need to stick together and persevere." Things didnt figure to get much easier in Cincinnati as an old friend, James Harrison, and a strong Bengals front seven laid in wait after a bitter Week 1 hiccup at Chicago. Despite possessing footballs most impressive resume, and its longstanding dominance over the Bengals, you never got the feeling Pittsburgh even had a chance this time around, no doubt a bitter pill to swallow for some haughty western Pennsylvania fans used to nothing but good times. For once Cincinnati had the more talented team and perhaps more importantly, the healthier one. Rookie running back Giovani Bernard gave the Bengals offense a little juice out of the backfield and scored two touchdowns as Cincinnati shut down Pittsburgh. Bernard ran for an early score and caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Andy Dalton in the third quarter which gave the Bengals a lead they never relinquished. The real difference, though, was the Bengals defense, which forced two turnovers and limited Pittsburgh to a mere 278 yards and 14 first downs in the clubs second home victory over its division rival in the past 12 years. Ben Roethlisberger, hurried throughout the game, threw for 251 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 20-of-37 passes for the Steelers, who dropped their first two games of the season for the first time since 2002. Its also the first time Pittsburgh has been two games under .500 since Tomlin took over in 2007. "They were the better team tonight," Tomlin said. "Well continue to work and move forward." Chicago, meanwhile, has been living on the edge, winning for the second straight week in comeback fashion when Martellus Bennetts touchdown catch with 10 seconds to play gave the Bears a 31-30 win over the Minnesota Vikings on a rainy day at Soldier Field. Jay Cutler was picked off twice and lost a fumble, but finished the game 28- for-39 with 290 yards and three touchdowns for the Bears, who opened the season with a three-point win over Cincinnati. Bennett finished with seven catches for 76 yards, Brandon Marshall had seven catches for 113 yards and a score, while Matt Forte had 90 yards on 19 carries and 71 yards on 11 catches for Chicago, which has won seven of the last eight games against Minnesota.dddddddddddd "I saw a lot of resiliency today out of this team," said Chicago head coach Marc Trestman. "We had a heck of an opponent today and they gave it their all. This was one of the tougher games Ive ever had to coach." Chicago leads its all-time series with the Steelers, which dates back to 1934, with a 20-7-1 mark. The rivalry has been much more evenly contested in the modern-day NFL, though, with the teams splitting 10 meetings since 1971. This is only the Bears second trip to Heinz Field and just the fourth meeting between these two teams since 1998. The only other time the Bears played in Heinz Field was in 2005 when Pittsburgh won 21-9. WHAT TO WATCH FOR When Tomlin said he and his team will continue moving forward, they are doing so with a veteran QB who doesnt like offensive coordinator Todd Haley, an offensive line in shambles, and a running game thats non-existent -- an almost sacrilegious development for a franchise which has always prided itself on its ability to run the football. Tomlin has never suffered through a losing season as a head coach, earning four playoff appearances, two Super Bowl berths and the Super Bowl XLIII championship in his previous six years at the helm in the Steel City. In good times or bad -- like last seasons .500 finish -- Tomlin has always preached accountability. "Theres a certain amount of misery with the position that were in," Tomlin said after watching his team fall to 0-2. "Well wear it. We dont like it. Well wear it." The badge they are currently wearing says the offense has scored a total of 19 points and rushed for 75 yards, and the defense, although solid, has yet to record a takeaway. Only sad sacks Cleveland (16) and Jacksonville (11) have scored fewer points in the NFL season, and the running back by committee approach featuring Felix Jones, the now-injured Stephens-Howling, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer has rushed for a paltry total of 70 yards on 27 attempts. "We need some guys to step up, older guys to step up and younger guys to get it going and avoid the road were going down," Roethlisberger said. The Steelers could get a boost by the possible return of Roethlisbergers favorite target, tight end Heath Miller, who is just about ready after tearing his ACL late in the 2012 season. Rookie running LeVeon Bell remains out with a foot injury, however. "Theres been a problem with our functioning," Tomlin said. "Theres been a problem with our production. Theres been a problem with our points. You can point to whatever you want to point to in regards to that, and obviously if the plays arent working well then were susceptible to that judgment. Im not going to lose a whole bunch of sleep over that." Bears rookie coach Trestman may have had a few sleepless nights wondering when the luck is going to run out on his team. With a win in the Steel City Chicago will be 3-0 for the first time since 2010, when it reached the NFC Championship Game. They could just as easily be 0-2, however. "Weve seen a unique team resiliency, an ability to keep our poise, an ability to just move onto the next play without what happened on the last play inhibiting us," Trestman said. That and an opportunistic defense which has forced six turnovers in two weeks after leading the . the NFL with 145 points scored off 44 last season has Trestman sleeping soundly for now. OVERALL ANALYSIS The Bears have been living on the edge, but they also must be living right, something which should continue this week. Cutler is 2-0 against the Steelers in his career and will be aiming for his third straight game with a passer rating over 100.0 against them, a mark that serves as a bit of a death knell for his opposition. Cutlers teams are 26-1 when he has 100-plus passer rating. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Bears 20, Steelers 17 ' ' '
