导出博客文章DENVER - The Denver Broncos locked up Peyton Mannings blindside protector
Sunday, signing left tackle Ryan Clady to a five-year deal worth up to $57.5
million. The Broncos and Clady have been at odds over a long-term contract for
more than a year. Had he not signed by Monday, he would have played under a
one-year, $9.823 million deal because of the franchise tag. Instead, Clady has a
deal that guarantees him at least $33 million and should keep him in Denver
through the end of Mannings playing days. Its a better deal than the one the
tackle turned down last season, when the guarantees the Broncos offered came in
at about half of what hell make under his new contract. Clady, a first-round
draft pick in 2008, is still recovering from surgery to his right shoulder and
is expected to miss the start of training camp, which begins July 25. If he
returns to full health, it will resolve one of Denvers many issues on the
offensive line. Left guard Zane Beadles was the only starting offensive lineman
to come out of last season unscathed. Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder), Chris
Kuper (ankle) and J.D. Walton (knee) also needed operations, and of the three,
only Franklin was at full health during team minicamps this spring. The Broncos
signed Dan Koppen to fill in at centre for Walton, who isnt expected back until
midseason. Their biggest free-agency signing outside of Wes Welker was right
guard Louis Vasquez. If Kuper recovers from his second surgery in as many years,
hell likely compete for a backup spot.

overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- JaQuan Lyle scored 17
and JaeSean Tate added 14 and 11 rebounds as Ohio State routed Western Carolina
66-38 in another tuneup game on Monday night.Kam Williams added 13 points and
Trevor Thompson had 10 for Ohio State, which is 4-0 to start the season but has
gotten away with some sloppy play over lesser opponents. The Buckeyes shot just
41.8 percent from the floor Monday, but outrebounded Western Carolina 44-33.On
the defensive end, we played very good. We got stops, Lyle said. But on the
offensive ends we just (werent) there mentally.The Buckeyes trailed 4-2 early
before opening up the game with a 9-0 run and cruising from there. Western
Carolina (1-4) shot just 27.5 percent from the floor and committed 20
turnovers.I thought defensively we were as sound as weve been in a long time,
Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. On the flip side, we had possessions where
were not thinking the game, were not making the easy play, were not making the
easy read. Weve got to get better at that.Haboubacar Mutombo led the Southern
Conference team with 11 points, and Marc Gosselin had nine points and 14
rebounds.The Buckeyes dominated inside, scoring 36 points in the paint, compared
with just 10 for Western Carolina.Were going to keep building, keep winning,
keep moving in the right direction, Williams said.Ohio State led 32-18 at the
half on 5-for-8 shooting from the floor by Tate and eight steals by the
Buckeyes. Lyle was 4 for 4 from the foul line in the hhalf.ddddddddddddFor us to
have a chance in this ballgame we needed to shoot the ball with a little
consistency, Western Carolina coach Larry Hunter said. We had 11 turnovers in
the first half, and that hurt us a little bit. We cant give away possessions.
Ohio State is too talented to do that. Youre not going to win too many ballgames
shooting 27 percent.BIG PICTUREWestern Carolina: The Catamounts got to put their
game up next to a more-talented Big Ten team before starting the conference
season.Ohio State: The only thing Ohio State can hope to get from games like
this is improvement. Western Carolina will be one of the worst teams the
Buckeyes play this season. Matta said his team still needs work.We werent as
connected as we need to be, we werent as sharp, he said.INJURY REPORTOhio State
starting forward Keita Bates-Diop sat out with a sprained ankle he suffered
Thursday in the win over Providence. Matta said he was out of the mobilization
boot but hes day to day. Williams started in his place.UP NEXT:Western Carolina:
