MILWAUKEE - If Julius Peppers is going to get more plays as a receiver, he may want to work on pass-catching skills during the Green Bay Packers bye week.Fortunately for the Packers, catching touchdown throws from Aaron Rodgers wasnt what Peppers was signed to do in Titletown.The veteran pass rusher has been productive on defence in his first season in Green Bay. Hes not going to dwell on the pass in the end zone he juggled for an incompletion, or the defences embarrassing second-half showing in a 44-23 loss last week to the New Orleans Saints.When you get kind of off-balanced, it sets you back, Peppers said. Were going to get it corrected.According to the Packers, Peppers and Texans defensive end J.J. Watt are the only players this season who have at least one sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception and a defensive touchdown.Coach Mike McCarthy has marveled about how Peppers veteran influence has rubbed off on teammates. While Peppers gets fiery on game days, he is relatively calm off the field.Me personally, Im just going to get away. Its not going to eat at me, Peppers said about his plans for the bye week. This doesnt need to sit with anybody. Its an opportunity to learn. We got beat, you accept that and you move forward from it.Green Bay (5-3) is in relatively good shape at the break, a game behind Detroit in the NFC North. Five of the Packers last eight games are at home, in the cold comfort of Lambeau Field.The bye comes at an especially opportune time for Rodgers, who tweaked his left hamstring against New Orleans. Rodgers, who has had a good first half, has said he wont miss the next game, Nov. 9 against Chicago.So far, so good, I would say is how were looking at it, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday at Lambeau Field about Rodgers status.For the most part, the up-tempo offence is playing well with Rodgers playing pitch-and-catch with Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. The running game with Eddie Lacy has been inconsistent; McCarthy has said in some games that is in part due to a lack of attempts.The Packers seem to be at their best when theyre playing at a quick tempo, with Rodgers able to dissect mismatches, and Nelson and Cobb breaking free for big plays.Lacys receiving skills have improved, while rookie receiver Davante Adams is emerging as a third option. Green Bay, though, would benefit from getting more production out of the tight end position.What hasnt been so good is the rush defence, which gave up 172 yards on 24 carries to New Orleans Mark Ingram, allowing a whopping 7.2 yards per carry.The leagues worst defence against the run (153.5 yards per game) got dented again.Our issues on run defence are fundamental. We need to do a better job of staying square, getting (to) gaps and we need to tackle the ball carrier and put him on the ground, McCarthy said.Part of the problem this year may stem from the loss of veteran tackle B.J. Raji in August to a season-ending biceps injury. Raji had been having a good camp after moving back inside from end in the Packers tweaked scheme.Read-option plays have also been somewhat troublesome, having the effect of neutralizing pass rushers Clay Matthews and Peppers.Still, the Packers had shown some improvement against the run until the Saints game. They held Carolina to 108 yards on 25 carries the previous week and contained dual-threat quarterback Cam Newton.The defensive positives start with a renewed ability to create turnovers. Green Bay has 10 interceptions and five fumble recoveries. It is third in the league in turnover margin at plus-8 in large part because of Rodgers, who had a six-game stretch without an interception.We need to be more than a football team that has to rely on winning the turnover ratio, McCarthy said. To get where we want to, weve got to overcome when we dont just play to our identity or our format.What McCarthy will take, though, is a repeat of the first half from Peppers, the 34-year-old veteran who signed with Green Bay in the off-season after being a salary cap casualty of the Bears.The next time Peppers takes the field will be against his former team.I mean, things look like they are happening real fast and the other team is scoring a lot and we cant control that, Peppers said after the loss to the Saints. Whats important right now is how we respond, and I am sure we will do that after the bye week.___AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Genaro Armas at http://twitter.com/GArmasAP Fake Vans Online .

It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points.

England put their home tournament failure behind them to seal the Grand Slam with a 31-21 win over France in Paris last weekend, their first in 13 years. Jones: No one safe for England Eddie Jones says no one from his Six Nations squad is guaranteed a starting place in Australia Speaking to Sky Sports, Jones said: It is a great achievement by the team and we are proud of the boys. All I have tried to do is change the environment, they are talented players and always have been and they will continue to get better. England secured the Grand Slam against France but Jones is adamant that the hard-work continues if England are to taste more success I think you have got to believe you can win and if thats arrogance, then we have got a lot of arrogance because we believe we can win and youve got to believe youu can be better.ddddddddddddI dont think that was one of the things they thought about a lot. They definitely thought about wanting to be better but youve got to think about it every day and youve got to live it every day.Up next for England is a trip down under to take on Australia, where England have only won three Tests since their first visit in 1963, and former Wallabies coach Jones has his sights firmly on causing an upset. England secured the Grand Slam against France but Jones is adamant that the hard-work continues if England are to taste more success I think it is going to be great fun, said Jones. Bodyline rugby, thats what we are going to play.We are going to get stuck in to them. Thats how we have got to win the game, we have got to go to Brisbane and weve got to physically dominate the Aussies.I know how the Aussies think and I know what we have got to do to beat them and if we do that we put ourselves in the position to win the game.
