FRISCO, Texas -- Ezekiel Elliott on Wednesday said hes learning to deal with the scrutiny of playing for the Dallas Cowboys.Coach Jason Garrett benched Elliott after he fumbled twice in a span of four carries during the final six minutes of Sundays loss to the Washington Redskins. He finished the game with 83 yards on 21 carries, but the fumbles overshadowed his runs.Ive never been benched, Elliott said laughing Wednesday. Thats new to me.You gotta acknowledge what happened, and you gotta make sure you focus on your weaknesses from the week before. Youve got to put it behind you, but remember at the same time so you wont make the same mistakes next week.Elliott played better against Washington than he did in the opener against the New York Giants. Still, hes averaging just 3.27 yards per carry. In 41 carries over two NFL games, he has just one run of more than 10 yards.Social media is in attack mode. Such criticism is new to Elliott, who gained more than 3,600 yards in his last two seasons at Ohio State and led the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014.I wouldnt say Im a victim of high expectations. The expectations are going to be there, Elliott said. I got drafted in the top five at a position that hasnt been drafted that highly in the past couple of years.No one can expect more out of me than myself. The criticism is what I expect, honestly, because Im criticizing myself every day when I come in here and watch that film. Im trying to get better.Elliotts biggest issue has been adjusting to the Cowboys run-blocking scheme. They want him to be slow to the hole -- giving it time to open -- then accelerate through it. Alfred Morris, the backup, has more than 1,000 career rushing attempts in this type of scheme; Elliott has less than 100, including the preseason.The process cant be rushed.Coming from Ohio State, the tempo was a lot different, Elliott said. We hit the hole 100 mph, but when you get here in the league, its not go as fast as you can. You gotta kind of time it up a little more until you see it, then you gotta go.Its something Ive improved on from the first week. Its definitely easier said than done.Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Sverige . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. Hydro Flask 24 Oz Sverige .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.hydroflasksverige.se/ . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Hydro Flask 32 Oz Sverige . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Sverige . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.Crystal Palace are in a freefall.Alan Pardews Eagles (3-2-6) are without a win in five straight Premier League matches and minus a point in four -- a run that has sent them plummeting down the table to within just one point of the bottom three.Though it likely wont be easy, Palace hope to stop the bleeding Saturday against Manchester City at Selhurst Park.Pardews side has conceded a combined 10 goals in just three games prior to the recent international break. What Palace need now is an easy game to get his side back up and running. What he gets instead is a visit from a title favourite.Pep Guardiolas City (7-3-1) have lost just three times over 19 overall competitions. In league play, theyve scored 25 goals (only two clubs have more) and conceded just 10 (which only two clubs can improve on). But despite their apparent dominance, City will arrive in south London desperate for a victory after a run of results that saw them win just once in their last five (1-3-1) league matches.Guardiolas star-studded side are therefore expected to be firing on all cylinders against one of the leakiest defences in the division. One player in particular is looking forward to visiting Palace again.Crystal Palace will always be a special game for me because I scored my first goal against them and if I play on Saturday, I hope to score another against them, City striker Kelechi Iheanacho said. But they are very strong and have very good wingers so they will believe they can win this game. We have to be careful, respect them and expect this to be a very difficult match.Ihenacho has a point, for iin the final game before the international break Palace almost produced an impressive comeback, recovering from two goals down against Burnley… only to miss a penalty and concede a third to lose 3-2.ddddddddddddIt was a harsh result to take, but not one that has shaken striker Christian Benteke (who missed the key penalty) off his stride.The Premier League is the strongest league in the world, anything can happen in games and we have seen that again (against Burnley) but we need to work hard and for the players the only way is to carry on and keep fighting to turn things around, he said.Benteke could be one of the main threats against City, with his aerial ability likely to be Palaces main attacking ploy against a team whose defence and goalkeeper are not at their strongest when dealing with crosses into the box.There will be little in the way of an attacking plan b for Palace however, with forwards Loic Remy and Bacary Sako both expected to be unavailable. Goalkeeper Steve Mandanda is also an injury concern for the hosts.City must deal with injury problems of their own. Fabian Delph has been ruled out and Vincent Kompany, Bacary Sagna and Fernando all doubts. Striker Sergio Aguero traveled back from South America late in the week, but did not feature in Argentinas midweek 3-0 win over Colombia so he should be fit to start.Palace have lost seven of their last eight league meetings with City, and failed to score in five of the last six encounters.
