SEATTLE -- When Budda Baker gets an opportunity to sit down and watch NFL games on Sundays, or when he takes the time to watch film of the pros he would like to emulate, it all looks very familiar. Rashaan Evans Jersey .He sees the same techniques, the same coverages being played by the professionals that hes been taught since arriving at Washington.Exactly to a T. We run an NFL defense, Baker said. You see certain types of techniques that those guys are doing and you see techniques that we are doing.Of all the position groups for No. 4 Washington, possibly none possesses the depth and NFL potential of the Huskies secondary. Whether its Kevin King and Sidney Jones at cornerback, or any of the combination of Baker, Jojo McIntosh, Taylor Rapp or Ezekiel Turner at safety, Washingtons defensive backfield is filled with players with a possible NFL future.It helps that Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake spent five seasons coaching defensive backs in the NFL. Rather than teaching his players a style that works just in college, Lake has thrown NFL concepts at his players and made them learn.Its definitely been a process because you only get limited time with these guys, Lake said. But weve been here for three years now and so weve gotten to the point where these guys have played a lot of football, they hear the same thing over and over and weve been able to put more on their plate now in Year 3. First year obviously we had to do a good job of holding back all the information, but now these guys have come a long way.Before the season began and Washington was still being touted as a potential surprise in the Pac-12, the strength of its defensive backfield was a reason so many were high on the Huskies. There were questions elsewhere but the secondary was one area where there werent really any concerns considering the Huskies had the best scoring defense and fourth-best pass defense in the conference in 2015.Washingtons secondary has lived up to its billing for the most part this season. The Huskies go into Fridays Pac-12 championship game against No. 9 Colorado with the top scoring defense in the conference, the No. 2 total defense and the second-best pass defense, giving up just 201 yards per game through the air.Of course, its Colorado thats topping the Huskies in those other two categories.I think theyre similar (to Washingtons secondary). Across the board they have good safeties, long corners, they challenge you, pressure a lot. Its very similar, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. I think there are a lot of similarities there. Even in strategy and coverage and those types of things.Baker is the most recognizable of the group with his standing as one of the top safeties in the country and one of the most important recruits for Washington since Petersen arrived. But Jones and King may be the ones with the biggest NFL upside. King, a senior, is listed at 6-foot-3, while Jones, a junior, is listed at 6 feet. They both have shown the skills to play press man coverage and handle their responsibilities when the Huskies drop into a zone.The depth of Washingtons secondary was so impressive that Rapp -- a freshman who was a reserve early in the season before moving into a more prominent role -- was named Pac-12 defensive freshman of the year Tuesday as voted on by the coaches.I would define us as tough, very, very competitive. I dont think there is going to be too many easy throws out there, King said. (Were) just a team that is going to fight to the end. If you beat us one play youll have to beat us the next. Thats our mentality. I think (Colorado) has that same mentality, too, so Im pretty excited to see that matchup on both sides of the ball.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Tajae Sharpe Jersey . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Parker Hesse Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.cheaptitansjerseyselite.com/?...ren-moon-jersey . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Minnesota has a gleaming new stadium. The Vikings are division champions for the first time in six years. Now theyre reeling from the loss of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for the entire season.The headlines around the division sure have a purple shade.Theres still plenty of green, or rather Green Bay, left to repaint the NFC North horizon.Aaron Rodgers and the proud Packers have wide receiver Jordy Nelson back from the right ACL injury that kept him from playing in 2015, aiming for repossession of the title.Rodgers came back leaner after some dietary changes, recharged for another run at a Super Bowl trophy hes touched once -- five-plus years ago.My 12th season, all with the same team, its exciting, said Rodgers, who will turn 33 on Dec. 2. It actually gets a little sweeter I think every single year.Dethroning the Vikings would sure be delicious. Fittingly, the Packers will be Minnesotas opponent on Sept. 18 for their regular-season opener at U.S. Bank Stadium in front of a crowd of 66,000 and a Sunday night national TV audience.Bridgewater, who dislocated his left knee and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in practice last Tuesday, will be relegated to inspirational pregame speaker for that one.Were not looking for excuses. Were going to go out and fight like we always do, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said after Bridgewater was hurt. Everybody can count us out if they want, but I think that would be the wrong thing to do.While it appears Shaun Hill will step in for now, the Vikings also acquired quarterback Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday for a pair of draft picks, including a first-rounder in 2017.Keeping up with Minnesota and Green Bay will be a challenge for Detroit and Chicago, with the Lions trying to avoid replicating that 1-7 start in 2015 and the Bears burdened by a five-year absence from the playoffs.Heres a quick glance around the NFC North as this Great Lakes states quartet gets ready for the regular season:UNDER COVERThe Vikings have moved back inside after a two-year stint at the University of Minnesota while their $1.1 billion, ship-shaped, see-through venue was being built.
