OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has gotten used to upheaval, working with five offensive coordinators in as many seasons.This time, though, the transition should be easier with veteran quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg taking over for Marc Trestman, who was fired on Monday.Flacco has appeared visibly frustrated with the recent play-calling and he hopes his rapport with Mornhinweg will help solve some of the issues, especially with stretching the field.Marty is an exciting guy, said Flacco, who has thrown for 1,282 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions. He brings a lot of confidence to the room. Hes very sure of what hes doing and what were doing. It gets everyone going. I think it gives everybody a good outlook on the game plan.Baltimore expected to have a more explosive attack, but faltered under Trestman. Heading into Sundays matchup with the New York Giants, the Ravens offense is ranked in the bottom half of the NFL, averaging 239.2 yards and 18.8 points per game.Those struggles prompted Ravens coach John Harbaugh to promote Mornhinweg. It was a move widely supported by the players.Its certainly got our attention, thats for sure, said Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta, who leads the team with 28 receptions. Its always tough to see someone let go like that. Marc Trestman is a great guy, great coach. It was difficult to see him go, but it was something that this offense needed. We were in kind of a bad place and it didnt seem like we were getting out of it. So, hopefully this will spark us. Marty is a great coach and we have a lot of faith in him.The Ravens (3-2) hope to establish more balance under Mornhinweg. Flacco has thrown more passes (216) than any other quarterback in the league. Conversely, the Ravens have run the ball 121 times for 495 yards with three touchdowns.Flacco has also been forced to drop back behind an offensive line that has dealt with several injuries. As a result, he has been sacked 11 times. Flacco has one of the strongest arms of any quarterback in the NFL, but he is averaging just 5.9 yards per pass attempt.We definitely need to be better than we are, Flacco said.While Mornhinweg is expected to help the Ravens establish a more effective rushing game, he is known for implementing big plays. As the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, Mornhinwegs units were ranked in the top 10 for total offense in seven of 15 years.Mornhinweg also has a reputation for developing quarterbacks. Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia and Brett Favre all reached the Pro Bowl under his tutelage.Hes very direct, hes very straightforward, Harbaugh said about Mornhinweg. One of things Ive always admired about Marty is he is a very descriptive teacher. He paints a very good picture for the guys. Thats a gift.The Ravens are optimistic they can see an immediate improvement Sunday against the Giants (2-3), who are allowing 358.2 yards per game and managed a league-worst four sacks.We just have to do what were doing better, Flacco said. Find a little more rhythm. Take advantage of some more opportunities. So, yeah, I think we can expect to out there and play well and find success.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Site Vapormax Pas Cher .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs Derrick Johnson left Thursday nights game against the Oakland Raiders late in the first half after falling to the turf untouched and immediately grabbing his left Achilles -- an eerily familiar sight for the four-time Pro Bowl linebacker.Kansas City had just taken a 21-3 lead in their AFC West showdown when Johnson fell to the turf away from the play. He ripped off his helmet and slammed it to the ground, and the look of frustration on his face was clear as the training staff and coach Andy Reid ran onto the field.Johnson ruptured his right Achilles in similar fashion two years ago.The training staff took off Johnsons left shoe, and he was helped off the field without putting any weight on the foot. He spent the rest of the half sitting on one of the heated benches.The Chiefs wasted no time ruling him out for the game.The 34-year-old Johnson, already the Chiefs career tackles leader, had been having another stellar season. He came into the game with 89 tackles, a sack and an interception that he returned for a score to highlight the first year of a $21 million, three-year deal that he signed in March.ddddddddddddKansas City was already without middle linebacker Josh Mauga, who had season-ending surgery to his hip in training camp, and Justin March-Lillard, who had surgery on a broken hand in October.The injury to Johnson seemed to deflate the defense, which then allowed the Raiders to march 92 yards in 14 plays for a touchdown that made it 21-10 at halftime.The Chiefs also lost defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches to back spasms in the first half.Oakland was missing three starters at kickoff after offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele was scratched late due to an illness. Rookie safety Karl Joseph had been ruled out Wednesday with a toe injury, while defensive tackle Stacy McGee was sidelined by an ankle injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
