lphins a year ago.Training camp is a time to start answering the questions.The sky is definitely the limit for us, Mario William

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears had just completed their first training camp practice and Kevin White could not contain his joy.Considering how his rookie season went, its not hard to see why.Healthy after missing his first year because of a fractured shin, White is ready to show why the Bears drafted him with the No. 7 overall pick in 2015 and join Alshon Jeffery in what the team believes will be a dynamic tandem at wide receiver.I was so excited, White said Thursday. Kind of like a kid in the candy store. Last year I was very, very frustrated, a lot of stress. And this year Im kind of out there having fun and Im able to contribute.The Bears are expecting big things from Jeffery and White as the team tries to pull itself up after finishing last in the NFC North at 6-10 in coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Paces first season. The work resumed Thursday with the first training camp practice, and it was an eventful one.First-round draft pick Leonard Floyd left on a cart because of a stomach illness and guard Kyle Long came up hobbling near the end. He slammed his helmet to the ground on the sideline and was later seen with a walking boot on his left leg.Floyd, the No. 9 overall pick, has been sick the past few days but plans to practice on Friday. The Bears are counting on the outside linebacker from Georgia to boost a defense that tied for 22nd in sacks and a woeful 30th in interceptions last season.His development along with Whites will go a long way toward determining whether Paces regime is ultimately a success. The Bears need to build a solid young core after years of spotty drafting under former general managers Jerry Angelo and Phil Emery.Pace took the 6-foot-3 White with the seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft thinking the West Virginia standout would form a top duo with the 6-3 Jeffery. Instead, White started experiencing pain in his left shin during organized team activities a year ago. The team thought rest and therapy would cure it, but he wasnt ready for the start of camp.One day after he started running on grass for the first time, he felt pain and got hit with the worst-case scenario. He had surgery and missed his rookie season.Jeffery was hardly a picture of health last year and wound up being limited to nine games because of calf, hamstring, groin and shoulder problems. The succession of injuries raised questions about his offseason regimen and durability even though he played in every game the previous two years.He had a great offseason last year, Fox said Thursday. Thats one of the perplexing things. When he injured his calf the first time was actually working as a scout (team) member running plays of our opponent in preseason. It was just kind of a freak thing. It was unfortunate for him and us.There were more questions about Jeffery this offseason after he stayed away from the teams voluntary organized activities. He was unable to agree to a contract extension after the Bears placed the franchise tag on him in free agency and will play this season for $14.6 million. Pace insisted the negotiations were friendly the whole time and theres no ill will.Honestly, I feel really good about where hes at right now and kind of where were at, Pace said.Jeffery basically deflected questions about the negotiations, saying he let his agent handle the negotiations. He also said he is blessed.And Pace said: We can revisit it after the season. But Im optimistic. Hes a talented player. He knows he has to stay healthy. And well see going forward.The more immediate issue for the Bears is molding Jeffery and White into the dynamic combination the team hoped to have last season.White spent plenty of time with Jay Cutler in both Lake Forest and at the quarterbacks home in Tennessee, hoping to develop a rapport and a greater understanding of the system in the offseason.Sometimes I try to (ease) into the route sometimes and play like a little tempo game, White said. He just told me to get up on them quick. He can obviously throw the ball, let the ball out, a little quicker and help put some pressure on the DBs.Cutler called sitting out last season a big miss for White but added: Hes so physically gifted I think hes gonna make it up really, really quickly.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLReplica Shoes Online .

In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Fake Shoes Outlet . PAUL, Minn.DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins defensive line coach Terrell Williams was engaged in conversation on the field following practice Friday when end Cameron Wake came up from behind and playfully draped a large, sweaty arm around his coachs neck.Williams smiled and kept talking, but soon decided to pull rank on Wake.Get out of here, Williams barked with a thrust of his shoulders that sent the 263-pound Wake stumbling away.The coach, a former college nose guard, can clearly still hold his own in the trenches. Thats good, because hes dealing with more than 4,000 pounds of talent in training camp, sorting out a unit that may be the strength of the team.Miamis front four includes three four-time Pro Bowlers -- Wake, end Mario Williams and tackle Ndamukong Suh. Others expected to have prominent roles include tackles Earl Mitchell and Jordan Phillips and ends Andre Branch and Jason Jones. Former No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan has received conditional reinstatement following a 15-month suspension, and youngsters Terrence Fede and Chris McCain might also be part of the mix.Terrell Williams, who is in his fifth year as an NFL coach, said he has never had such depth.Were trying to figure out where all these guys fit in, he said. Its going to be interesting when we start playing preseason games.A week into camp, with the first exhibition game still a week away, first-year coach Adam Gase said the depth in the defensive line is already apparent.It feels like no matter what group is in there, theyre up the field challenging the offensive line, Gase said. I was standing right behind the quarterbacks thinking, `I dont know how they see. Those guys are so long and tall and physical. Youre seeing glimpses of color as far as the receiver, and to complete balls -- its great work for our quarterbacks, because I dont know if were going to see anybody as long as our defensive linemen.The Dolphins figure the front four will have an advantage by rotating linemen throughout a game.We know in this league most of the games are won in the fourth quarter, Terrell Williams said. If we can score some points and get up on some people, wwe can roll them in in waves.ddddddddddddWhile players compete for roles, theyre also learning a new scheme. Veteran coach Jim Washburn has joined the staff as senior defensive assistant-pass rush specialist, and he is deploying the wide nine package, which he developed and used with considerable success in Detroit.The scheme is designed to create more favorable pass-rush angles, but Williams said personnel is still the key to success.I dont care if youre in a 3-4, a wide nine, a 6-2, Williams said. Whatever it is, its about who is lining up and kicking the guys butt in front of him.The Dolphins didnt do that so well last year, when they ranked 21st against the run, 27th in sacks and 28th against the pass.They then lost ends Olivier Vernon and Derrick Shelby in free agency, but added Mario Williams, Branch and Jones, and Wake has returned after missing the second half of last season with a torn Achilles tendon.There are question marks regarding all of the Pro Bowlers. Wake is not yet fully healthy, Mario Williams play declined in Buffalo last season and Suh wasnt a big playmaker in his first season with the Dolphins a year ago.Training camp is a time to start answering the questions.The sky is definitely the limit for us, Mario Williams said. There is a lot of talent across the board, and the most important thing with talent is you have to have continuity, and we have to learn how to play together and play off of one another.Game notesRB Kenyan Drake pulled up lame at the end of practice. Drake, a third-round pick with a long injury history, hurt his hamstring in June minicamp. ... RB Jay Ajayi (knee) returned to practice. ... Suh (back) sat out as a precaution, but his injury isnt considered serious. Also out were WR DeVante Parker (hamstring) and RB Isaiah Pead (hamstring).---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine .
