BALTIMORE - Marc Trestman had options. So did John Harbaugh.Ultimately, they realized that the best choice for both would be Trestman spending the next stage of his coaching career as offensive co-ordinator of the Baltimore Ravens.Trestman was hired Tuesday, 22 days after being fired as coach of the Chicago Bears and just 24 hours after his only interview with Harbaugh.Harbaugh also met with former Denver Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase on Monday, but by then the Ravens coach pretty much knew Trestman was the ideal replacement for Gary Kubiak.The main thing was the fact that hes such a good fit for us moving forward, Harbaugh said Wednesday. His experience level, his background in this offence, he can take us exactly from where were at offensively, in terms of the terminology and the system thats in place, and build off of that. That was the determining factor.In his only year as Baltimores offensive co-ordinator, Kubiak produced an attack that set franchise records for points (409) and yardage (5,838). So after Kubiak opted to take the job as Denvers head coach, Harbaugh went looking for someone to take the offence to the next stage.Enter Trestman.This is going to be a good thing, Harbaugh said. There were good candidates available. We just moved quickly.Trestman, 59, lasted two years with Chicago. In his first season, the Bears were the second-highest scoring team in the NFL. This year, though, they went 5-11.That left Trestman without a job, but it quickly became apparent he wouldnt be idle for long. He was interviewed by Cleveland, Jacksonville and Oakland before choosing Baltimore as his final destination after meeting with Harbaugh.The bottom line is, we had a very good conversation. I felt a strong connection, Trestman said. I couldnt be more excited to be a Raven and to be working for and with John.Trestman and Kubiak have more in common than merely being former NFL head coaches.Gary and I come out of the same training ground in terms of learning what people know as the West Coast offence, so to speak, Trestman said.Under Kubiak, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco put up career numbers in yards passing (3,986) and touchdown throws (27). He was also sacked only 19 times compared to 48 in 2013. As a result, Baltimore reached the second round of the playoffs following an 8-8 season.I had a chance to talk to Joe, and Joe is on board, Harbaugh said. He knows Marcs reputation. Personality wise, theyre going to hit it off very well because theyre both very smart, theyre both very detailed and theyre both direct in their communication.Trestman knows all about Flacco, who has never missed a start and was Super Bowl MVP following the 2012 season.Hes been extremely effective, Trestman said. Ive seen a courageous leader and a very tough guy.Trestman will receive aid from Marty Mornhinweg, who was hired as quarterbacks coach on Wednesday. He replaces Rick Dennison, who went to Denver with Kubiak.Im really looking forward to working with Marty, Trestman said. This is all going to be part of a formula to continue to play a high level offensively and continue to get better.Trestman is the Ravens fourth different offensive co-ordinator in four years, all of them former head coaches. He follows Cam Cameron, Jim Caldwell and Kubiak.I think thats an advantage, guys bringing that experience to the table, Harbaugh said. It helps in a lot of different ways, from perspective to a big-picture view of things.Before taking over in Chicago, Trestman was head coach with the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. Before that, he was offensive co-ordinator for the Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Oakland.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Nikita Kucherov Jersey . I kept my eyes focused up on the camera during each approach. I just tried to stay focused on my form, as I didnt know what the ball reaction was. I was quite emotional at the end. I did not actually see any of the shots in the game until I got home and watched the video.

Vincent Lecavalier Jersey .com) - They didnt meet in the regular season, so Sam Houston State might be saying it won the de facto title game between the two Southland Conference co-champions Saturday. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The defending National League champions opened the season with a lot of waiting. And a couple of wins, too. The St. Louis Cardinals overcame another long delay and Todd Fraziers two homers on Thursday, holding on to beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 and take two of three in their season-opening series. The first pitch was delayed 3 hours, 42 minutes because of rain. Some of the Cardinals spent their down time by studying Cincinnatis pitchers again and getting a little extra work in the indoor batting cages. "Its tough to stay mentally into it," said Matt Adams, who had a single and a pair of doubles. "Thats what we had to do to make sure we could go out there and perform. Were watching video and taking swings in the cage and stretching and making sure were ready to go." Finally on the field, the Cardinals emerged from their two-game hitting slump by knocking Homer Bailey (0-1) out of the game in the fifth inning. Jhonny Peralta homered to get it going. It wasnt perfect -- St. Louis stranded eight runners -- but it was much better. "We had a lot of opportunities that we missed, too," manager Mike Matheny said. "We had a lot of guys in scoring position." St. Louis pulled away with three runs in the seventh, when Matt Hollidays single off the top of the outfield wall was upheld by the only video review of the series, this one initiated by the umpires. Lance Lynn (1-0) gave up Jay Bruces two-run homer and Fraziers solo shot during five innings. Frazier added a three-run homer in the seventh that cut it to 7-6. Trevor Rosenthal got the last four outs for his second save. The series involved nearly as much waiting as playing. There was a 2-hour, 40-minute delay before Wednesdays game, a 1-0 victory by Cincinnati. Along with the delay on Thursday, the teams wound up waiting 6 hours, 22 minutes to play during the two days. As Thursdays delay stretched on, Reds reliever Sam LeCure tweeted: "Uncle." "The whole series was kind of weird with all the rain and stuff," Frazier said. "It really put a damperr on things.dddddddddddd" The starters had a rough time after the delay. Lynn beat the Reds three times last season, but couldnt get a 1-2-3 inning on Thursday. Bruce and Frazier hit back-to-back homers in the first for a 3-0 lead. Even Bailey had a single off Lynn, who gave up eight hits while throwing 107 pitches. Peralta hit a two-run homer in the second off Bailey, and the Cardinals tied it with a breakthrough hit in the fourth. Adams doubled and came around on Jon Jays double, the Cardinals first hit with a runner in scoring position this season. They had been 0 for 17. Jays hit also extended his hitting streak to 15 games, including the end of last season. Hollidays first hit of the season, an RBI double, put the Cardinals up 4-3 in the fifth. Bailey lasted only 4 1-3 innings, giving up seven hits, three walks and four runs. The Cardinals added three in the seventh, when they loaded the bases on a pair of walks and Hollidays single off the top of the wall. The ball went over Billy Hamiltons glove and deflected to Bruce, who caught the ball. The umpires correctly ruled that it a hit off the top of the wall, and a 2-minute, 8-second review initiated by the umps upheld the call. They wanted to make sure the ball hadnt cleared the wall. Allen Craig and Yadier Molina followed with RBI singles as St. Louis pulled ahead 7-3. NOTES: The game ended 7 hours, 23 minutes after it was originally scheduled to start. ... Shelby Miller starts for the Cardinals in Pittsburgh on Friday against Gerrit Cole. Mike Leake goes for the Reds in New York against the Mets Jenrry Mejia. ... Adams dived into the stands trying to catch a foul ball, and pushed a fan who reached up and caught it before he could get it. "I was trying to stop myself from going into the stands," Adams said. "People came up to me and said I shoved him. I didnt even know. Im not that type of guy to go after anybody." ... It was Fraziers fourth career multihomer game. ... Hamilton walked in the eighth inning, reaching base for the first time this season. He is 0 for 12 with six strikeouts.
