RENTON, Wash. Huston Street Jersey . - Jordan Hill didnt intend on starting his professional career with the Seattle Seahawks by essentially redshirting as if he was still in college.Thats essentially what happened to Hill during Seattles Super Bowl run a season ago. Slowed by injuries and never finding his way into Seattles defensive line rotation, Hill spent the majority of his rookie season as a spectator on the Seahawks sideline.That time spent watching and learning is finally paying off for Hill and the Seahawks.Hes more confident, sure. Hes healthy too now. He was banged up for a little while in there, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Were very fortunate that were coming together.Hill has quickly developed into an important part of Seattles pass rush that has improved dramatically the second half of the season. After having just 13 sacks in the first 10 games, the Seahawks have 20 sacks in the past five games.And Hill has been right in the middle of the improved quarterback chasing. Hill has been responsible for five of those 20 sacks.I didnt plan on being injured and stuff like that, but the more and more game experience I get the better I have a chance to be, Hill said. I just want to take advantage of all the opportunities Im getting. Even though Im playing a little bit better, I still feel I left a lot out on the field that I could have capitalized on.Hill has moved into the pass rushing defensive tackle role occupied a season ago by Clinton McDonald. Hill doesnt play a ton of snaps — hes been in for 45 per cent of the defensive plays this season — but when hes on the field the objective is simple: collapse the pocket and make the quarterback move around.Hill missed three games in the middle of the season with an ankle injury and Seattles pass rush picked up when he returned. He recorded his first sack in Week 12 against Arizona and had two sacks against San Francisco in Week 15. Despite being blanked for the first 10 games, Hill is third on the team in sacks.Hes so explosive, so much quick twitch muscles that he could be one of the best inside rushers in the game right now. Hes figuring it out right now, Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett said.This is the best part of the year for him to finally get a chance. He got hurt early on and him getting the reps and doing it over and over and over and thats really what it is for him right now is being able to believe that he can do and go out there and play the way hes capable of playing.Part of Hills success can be attributed to Bennett, both during games and during the week. Bennett has spent time with Hill before and after practices this season passing along tips in rushing the quarterback to help the youngster. Its also helped grow the chemistry of how Seattles pass rush can best work.Last Sundays win over Arizona was a perfect example. On the play Hill got his one sack, Bennett occupied a pair of offensive linemen. That gave time for Hill to loop around unblocked and sack Arizonas Ryan Lindley.You have to rush as four. You cant go in there and rush by yourself. You have to have all four guys on the same page, Hill said. Youve got to have a feel. Its like a quarterback and his receivers being on time with the timing. All four guys have to know how each person rushes.NOTES: Carroll said it remains unlikely that WR Jermaine Kearse (hamstring) would return for Sundays finale vs. St. Louis. ... LT Russell Okung has a really good chance to get back this week. Okung missed last weeks game with a bruised lung. ... CB Tharold Simon suffered a shoulder injury vs. Arizona, but there is a chance he could play vs. the Rams. This will be an amazing recovery if he is able to do it, Carroll said.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cliff Pennington Jersey .com) - Sporting Kansas City announced Thursday that club has signed former on-loan midfielder Jimmy Medranda to a permanent contract from Colombian side Deportivo Pereira.

SEATTLE -- On a night when starter Jered Weaver struggled at times, the Los Angeles Angels were more concerned about a reliever who only faced one batter. Weaver gave up three runs over six innings to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. It was Weavers fifth win in six starts, although the first time in eight outings he allowed more than two runs. The bigger moment of concern came when Weaver left the game. Reliever Sean Burnett, who had come off the disabled list on Friday after recovering from elbow surgery last August, left the game after getting Michael Saunders to pop out leading off the seventh inning. "He just felt something in his elbow," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We dont know exactly what, hell be going back down to Southern California (Wednesday) to be evaluated. It looks like disabled list, but well see whats going on." This was Burnetts third appearance since returning, all of them lasting just one batter. Friday marked the first time he had pitched in the major leagues since May 26, 2013. After the game Burnett managed to answer just one question before breaking down and saying he couldnt continue. "Its just a lot of frustration right now. Im trying to stay positive and well see what the doctors say tomorrow," he said. Burnetts injury marred Los Angeles second win in seven tries against the Mariners this season. C.J. Cron led the Angels with a solo home run and run-scoring double, one of four doubles Los Angeles hit in the second inning to take a 3-0 lead. Cron led off the seventh inning with his third homer since making his major league debut on May 3. Weaver (6-3) said he felt the day would be a struggle from the time he started warming up before the game and didnt have the command hes been used to in recent starts. "I felt all right for the most part, but I didnt feel as crisp as I had the previous starts," he said. "Its one of those games where you had to battle, and these guys put up three early runs and helped me out a little bit early, and we were able to tack on some late." After the offence gave Weaver thee three-run lead in the top of the second, Seattle answered in the bottom of the inning when Dustin Ackley doubled and scored on Nick Franklins single. Ben Revere Jersey. However, even as Weaver struggled, the Mariners were unable to really take advantage. "This guy is a proven winner. He knows what hes doing out there and is pretty crafty," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We battled all night with him." The Angels loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but only managed one run with Grant Green scoring as Howie Kendrick grounded into a double play. The Mariners also loaded the bases for a run in the bottom of the fourth. Justin Smoak led off the inning with his seventh home run before the Mariners loaded the bases with two outs. Weavers first pitch to James Jones sailed over the head of catcher Chris Iannetta and Ackley scored from third on the wild pitch to cut Los Angeles lead to 4-3. The Angels added another run in the seventh on Mike Trouts sacrifice fly. Roenis Elias (3-4) allowed five runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings. The five earned runs were the most the Mariners rookie has allowed in his 11 career starts. "I just went out and did everything I normally do and it didnt work out today," Elias said through a translator. Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his seventh save, but the Mariners made it interesting. Robinson Cano hit a two-out run scoring single, and Smoak walked before Kyle Seager ended the game with a deep fly to left-centre field. NOTES: Before the game Scioscia said LHP Wade LeBlanc would start Thursdays series finale, but after the game Scioscia said Burnetts injury may change those plans. "Well evaluate some things tonight and see which way it will go," he said. ... Cano was the DH Tuesday after getting spiked on a play Monday. ... Seattle LHP James Paxton, on the DL since April 9, had an MRI on Tuesday that revealed inflammation in his left shoulder. Paxton had a rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday but will be shut down until the inflammation subsides, which the club estimated would be five to seven days.
