49ers GM Lynch has great expectations after Chase Young trade

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:54 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Chase Young played an astonishing 75 snaps in Washington’s only win over its past six games.Young had never played so many snaps in a game until that Oct. 15 victory at Atlanta, and he did so on a rebuilt right knee that was severely injured two years ago.All of which is to say: Young appears healthy enough to not only rush quarterbacks, but play as a full-time defensive end and make an impact for the 49ers, who agreed to a trade for him Tuesday.Young still must pass a physical for the deal to go through, with a 2024 compensatory third-round pick going to the Commanders in return.“I’m like you, I kept turning on the tape — 75, 64, those are a lot of snaps. The proof is what’s translating on the field,” general manager John Lynch said on a Wednesday morning conference call. “He’s been playing a lot, and looking really good.“There’s preliminary medical stuff where they send medical files, then the last step is flying out here tod...

Five Pac-12 teams have winning road records this season: No. 5 Washington, No. 6 Oregon, No. 18 Utah, No. 24 USC – and Stanford, which sits at the bottom of the conference standings.While the Cardinal (2-6, 1-5) has lost all five of its home games, including a game against FCS team Sacramento State, it is 2-1 on the road, with wins over Hawaii and Colorado.It’s a continuation of a four-year trend – since 2019, Stanford is 3-15 at home and 9-10 on the road, including wins at Washington, Notre Dame, Southern Cal and UCLA.The Cardinal looks to continue its success away from home Saturday at Washington State (6 p.m., Pac-12 Network).Coach Troy Taylor couldn’t pinpoint why the team has played so much better on the road.“You’re always kind of turning that over and trying to figure out if there’s something you do differently,” Taylor said. “We just tried to keep things as regular as possible.”The last time Stanford was on the road, in front of a sellout crowd at Colorado, the C...

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — As Chilean decathlete Santiago Ford neared the finish line of the 1,500-meter race of his sport’s program at the Pan American Games, he slowed his pace, stretched his arms to his sides and ended the race with a walk, just like he did four years ago to enter the Andean nation seeking a better life.A Chilean national since last year, the Cuban-born Ford won the Pan American gold in decathlon at the Santiago’s National Stadium in front of about 30,000 fans.Ford flew from Cuba to Guyana in September 2018, took a boat to Brazil, crossed the country to get to Peru and entered Chile’s north.

A mirage in the ACC? Not all those defensive rankings mean teams are playing winning football

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:31:54 GMT

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson has the top defense in the Atlantic Coast Conference. If only things were that simple. The Tigers, the defending ACC champions, lead the league and are sixth nationally in yards allowed (266.9) this season. Yet, it hasn’t been enough to carry them to success with a middling 4-4 record so far.Dig a bit deeper and you find Clemson is 36th in points allowed and 40th in red-zone defense. “Ultimately, you’re graded on what you do when you get to the red zone,” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said. It’s a slippery slope when you rely on cold hard numbers, because there are so many of them out to shape your point of view, according to ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain. “It depends what you’re looking for,” he said. The ACC leader, No. 4 Florida State, is 29th in yards given up, sixth in the ACC and nearly 70 more yards per game than the Tigers. But FSU’s defensive numbers when an opponent reaches its 20-yard line are third in the ACC and a...

(CNN Español) — A partir del 1 de febrero de 2024 podrían estar pasando solo 18 buques diarios por el Canal de Panamá, debido al retraso de la temporada de lluvias de este año y la falta de precipitaciones en la cuenca del canal, según un documento de la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) obtenido por CNN.Las precipitaciones de octubre son “las más bajas registradas desde 1950”, con un 41% menos, y 2023 hasta el momento sería “el segundo año más seco” en ese periodo, afirma la ACP, que explica que, a pesar de todas las medidas adoptadas, el nivel del lago Gatún, que abastece el canal, sigue descendiendo “a niveles sin precedentes para esta época del año”.Apenas empezó 2023, en coincidencia con la temporada seca, el Canal de Panamá asegura que adoptó medidas de ahorro y conservación de agua en su operación, pero, a pesar de ello, desde el 30 de julio puso límite al paso de buques diarios, partiendo de 32 por día.Restricciones en el Canal de ...
