ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Nike Air Max 95 Goedkoop . -- Joe DeCamillis cringes at the suggestion that his stepping in for ailing coach Gary Kubiak this week amounts to an audition for an NFL head coaching job.He said hes just being a good friend and a loyal employee:When somebody asks you to do something, you do it, DeCamillis said.Especially when that somebody is your boss, Denver Broncos general manager John Elway, whos asking you to help out an old friend.DeCamillis has spent 28 years as an assistant in the league, most of those as a special teams coordinator. He was also assistant head coach in Chicago for a couple of years. So, yeah, being in charge has crossed his mind a time or two. But this week, hes only focused on Thursday nights game at San Diego.You always think about it. I interviewed for the Chicago job so you think about it, DeCamillis said. I dont really look as this opportunity as that, to be honest with you. I look at helping an organization and helping a friend and a coach. Thats what Im doing.Im going to try everything that I can to help this organization get through this little bump in the road then well go from there.DeCamillis was named acting head coach Monday after Kubiak was hospitalized overnight following Denvers 23-16 loss to Atlanta . Kubiak was diagnosed with a migraine condition that mimics a stroke and doctors ordered him to take a week off work.This was the second time in three years that Kubiak, 55, left a stadium by ambulance. When he was head coach of the Texans in 2013, he suffered a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against the Colts. He missed 10 days before returning to work, at first to the coaching booth, and then to the sideline before his firing a month later.After a year as Baltimores offensive coordinator, Kubiak was hired as Denvers head coach last year and said hed learned his lesson: to delegate more to his staff, and he had no health issues while leading the Broncos to the Super Bowl title.In a statement after being released from the hospital Monday, Kubiak said he had great confidence in Joe D., our coordinators and coaching staff and all of our players. He added that hed made a lot of positive changes health-wise in recent years and will continue to listen to doctors.Kubiak said hell rest up this week and return to work Monday.Elway said he chose DeCamillis as interim coach this week because it was the least disruptive option. This way, coordinators Rick Dennison and Wade Phillips can maintain their focus on offense and defense, respectively.Phillips, who has served as head coach in Denver and Dallas and as interim head coach with the Texans, Falcons and Saints, said he wasnt surprised he wasnt selected instead of DeCamillis.No, not at all. If you look at my interim record, Id say, `Make sure you dont make him the interim guy, Phillips said. I told you I was a lousy head coach anyway, especially as an interim head coach. So, no, its a one-week deal. I think it makes the most sense for Joe D. because were involved in offense and defense, Rick and I, so its easier for him to do that.Besides, Phillips said, DeCamillis deserves this opportunity.Ive known Joe D. for a long time and I really think he is a head coaching candidate, Phillips said. I dont know why he hasnt been one yet like Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who rose through the ranks as a special teams coordinator.Players and coaches have resisted the temptation to call on Kubiak this week, but DeCamillis didnt have to look far for some advice.The good thing is that Wade has been it three times so hes a great sounding board, DeCamillis said. Hes a guy that hired me at Dallas so Ive got a lot of respect for him and hes probably happy that hes not doing it. He gave me some advice.So did DeCamillis father-in-law, Dan Reeves, who told him to watch his language but dont change anything else.He did say to try to make sure that you be yourself, DeCamillis said. He said thats the best advice that he got from (Tom) Landry when he started, and so Im going to try to continue that as much as I can.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton . Nike Air Max Nederland . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. Nike Air Max Kopen . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. http://www.airmaxkopennederland.com/uitverkoop-air-max-270.html . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. LINCOLN, Neb. -- For three years, Ryker Fyfe has been Nebraskas No. 2 quarterback, and it took until senior day in his fifth season for him to realize the quintessential dream of football-loving boys who grow up in the state.Fyfe started a game at Memorial Stadium, and he came away a winner Saturday.I didnt know if this day would ever come, to be honest, said Fyfe, who turned 23 on Sunday. But it did, and I was ready.Fyfe might not be done yet, even though he broke a bone in his left (non-throwing) wrist in the 28-7 win over Maryland . He already has had surgery to place a pin in the wrist, and he and four-year starter Tommy Armstrong both were to practice Monday. Armstrong has been nursing a hamstring injury for more than a week.Coach Mike Riley said Monday he should have a good idea after practice Tuesday whether one or both of them will be available for Fridays game at Iowa. Zack Darlington, who moved from quarterback to receiver last spring and serves as the holder, also was to take practice snaps.If Fyfe plays, hell wear a brace on his wrist.The No. 17 Huskers (9-2, 6-2) will be playing a high-stakes game against the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3). A win, coupled with a Minnesota upset of No. 5 Wisconsin on the road Saturday, would send Nebraska to the Big Ten championship game as the West Division representative.Fyfe turned in a confidence-building performance against Maryland. He led touchdown drives of 72 and 54 yards on the Huskers first two possessions and a 78-yard TD drive on the fourth.Ryker played out of his mind, said Jordan Westerkamp, who caught a career-high eight passes, including a 4-yard touchdown. It was awesome having him back there. We were real successful in all areas of the game today.In the first half, Fyfe completed 14 of 20 passes for 153 yards and converted five third downs, four on passes and another when he ran around the right end for 21 yards. He also broke off a 14-yard run to conveert a fourth-and-1.

Most important, he didnt commit a turnover. In his only previous start, on the road against Purdue last year, he was intercepted four times and fumbled in a 55-45 loss. Thats a distant memory now for Fyfe.I promise I am not surprised at all, Riley said. The guy has some special qualities that are real important to quarterbacking. He has got a nice release, he has obviously got poise, and he has got good vision. He put a lot of balls in a nice location for guys to make some plays today. He missed a couple more by just a hair that could have been really exciting for the big picture.Fyfe grew up 80 miles west of Lincoln in Grand Island, and when he was playing at Grand Island Senior High, his favorite receiver was Sam Foltz. The two walked on together to Nebraska , with Foltz becoming an All-Big Ten punter. Foltz died in a July car accident in Wisconsin, and the Huskers dedicated this season to him.The senior day ceremony featured a tribute to Foltz, and that made for an emotional pregame.This should be a game that I should be walking out with Sam for my last game, but I knew he was with us, with me, in spirit, Fyfe said.Foltzs parents, Gerald and Jill Foltz, greeted each senior as he came out of the tunnel. Fyfe said he shared a special moment with them.They talked to me, gave me a hug and said, `Hell be with you out there. Just go out and play hard. So it was fun.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
