LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Alejandro Villanueva has a chance to compete for one of the most important positions along the offensive line.Villanueva, in just his second season, is locked in a tight training camp competition with veteran free agent acquisition Ryan Harris at left tackle, the blind side of Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.For an undrafted guy like me, this is a best-case scenario, to be able to compete for a starting position coming into my second year, Villanueva said. Usually the draft or free agency brings in high-caliber players and I feel I can compete with players, but I just cant compete with a salary.Im thankful for the opportunity to at least get to compete.The Steelers signed Villanueva to their practice squad in 2014 after he was cut by Philadelphia as a defensive end. The team moved the 6-foot-9 Villanueva to left tackle as the former undrafted free agent and Army Ranger gained almost 100 pounds to play along the offensive line.He made the team in 2015 as the swing tackle and was thrust into the starting role after Kelvin Beachum -- now in Jacksonville -- tore his anterior cruciate ligament six games into the season.Villanueva stepped right in, starting the final 10 games.Al did a great job last year and hes a guy whos still learning so much, offensive line coach Mike Munchak said of the 27-year-old Villanueva, who appeared in all 16 games.Als got so much upside and the more he plays, he just gets better every time hes out there.Villanueva feels as if hes grown substantially entering his second season. He took an important lesson from his first NFL start at left tackle -- a loss at Kansas City -- when he allowed a sack against Tamba Hali that clinched the victory for the Chiefs.Everybody makes mistakes, but one mistake can cost you the game Sunday, Villanueva said. You can play a great game, but if you give up a sack, its really ugly.Harris, a nine-year veteran, earned a Super Bowl ring last season, starting all 19 games at left tackle for Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler and the Denver Broncos. The 31-year-old Harris signed a two-year contract with the Steelers as an unrestricted free agent in March.Ryan has a lot of experience and already knows a lot of the little stuff that Als learning because hes been in the league and hes been successful, Munchak said. Hes been through the ups and downs of the NFL.He was a Super Bowl champion and that brings confidence to your play and the people around you. Hes learned a lot over the years and hes a nice addition to our group.The 6-foot-5, 302-pound Harris has appeared in 110 games, making 70 starts. Harris played for three different teams, including two stints in Denver.My perseverance has given me a lot of confidence, almost as much confidence as my Super Bowl ring, Harris said. Im just happy to be able to continue to do something I love every day.Munchak believes the competition has brought out the best in both players, as Villanueva and Harris rotate daily with the first-team offense. Hes excited to see who ultimately wins the job.You want to do it as quick as you can, so the group knows which direction were headed and they can get used to each other, Munchak said. I think it has a way of playing itself out where it becomes obvious whos the best fit.Game notesRoethlisberger, running backs LeVeon Bell and DeAngelo Williams and wide receiver Antonio Brown all will not play Thursday against Philadelphia. ... Bell, who faces a four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy, said he doesnt know when his appeal will be heard.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLNmd Schuhe Sale Deutschland .

FA chief executive Martin Glenn has said that Southgate will not be judged solely on the next two games but former England U21 manager Pearce does not thinks he will not be in the running if the results against Spain and Scotland are not positive.If he loses the next two games the press will be up in arms and Gareth has no chance of getting the job, I guarantee that now, he told Sky Sports News HQ. As an Englishman I hope he wins the next two games and they decide to give him the opportunity. Gareth Southgate is in temporary charge of England Sky sources understand Southgate remains favourite for the job, but there are plans to interview a number of potential candidates following the match against Scotland at Wembley.One of the names who has been linked with the role is Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, whose current deal at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the season. Ian Holloway says the FA have undermined Gareth Southgate by waiting until next year to choose the next permanent England manager And Pearce added: I am wondering whether they have their eye on Arsene Wenger.ddddddddddddGreg Dyke [former FA chairman] mentioned if Gareths stay could be extended until next summer as an interim scenario, and that might free up Arsene Wenger. The FA might have their eye on him as a safe pair of hands to take over next summer.You can watch Premier League and EFL Cup football, plus Englands tour of Bangladesh and the Mexican Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
