LOS ANGELES -- Nearly seven months after the Los Angeles Rams placed their future on the shoulders of Jared Goff, the No. 1 draft pick finally makes his NFL debut Sunday.Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake and the Miami Dolphins cant wait to welcome him to the league.Goff will take his first NFL snap at the Coliseum, where frustrated fans chanted the rookie quarterbacks name two weeks ago during another dismal offensive performance by their Rams (4-5).With their playoff hopes in danger of evaporating despite last weeks win over the Jets, the Rams have made the inevitable move.I learned a lot about how the league works, Goff said. How Sundays work, how the practice week works, how you work in the classroom and everything in between, Ive learned. Im thankful for everything that Ive gathered over the last however many weeks its been, but at the same time, I think its time. I think Im ready to move forward and play.Goff gets no easy task for his first start: The Dolphins (5-4) are on their first four-game winning streak since 2008, capped by last weekends victory at San Diego.They spent the past week in a minicamp of sorts on the California coast, taking a week away from Florida for bonding and preparation.Miami has one of the NFLs least effective pass defenses, ranking 28th in the league entering the weekend.But the Dolphins also have 22 sacks already this season, including 12 during their winning streak with a pass rush led by the fearsome Suh and Wake.Its just another quarterback, Suh said of facing Goff. Hopefully, Im assuming theyre going to run the same offense, but you never know. Well be ready for all things thrown at us.Scouting Goff is tough for the Dolphins because his three seasons in the Bear Raid spread offense in Berkeley have little resemblance to anything hell do Sunday.But Goff played for the Rams in the preseason, and offensive coordinator Rob Boras has said the Rams wont alter their offense extensively to make the change from Case Keenum to Goff. That means Miami will face much the same schemes that have left Los Angeles 31st in total offense and last in the league in scoring.Our ability to at least tell our players (about Goffs) strengths and weakness is very limited, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said.We have to be very sharp within the game of trying to figure out what they could possibly lean on, or go to that he does really well, and maybe try to figure out what possibly could give him problems.Here are more things to watch when the Dolphins play in Los Angeles for the first time since 1988:RUNNING STOP: Goffs debut will be a bit more difficult because the Rams still cant run the ball nine games into the season. Todd Gurley and his offensive line are 29th in the league in rushing offense, and the running backs 64 yards last week against the Jets were the most he has compiled in a month. Whats more, Miami has the NFLs sixth-ranked rushing defense.SHUFFLED LINE: The Dolphins are 0-2 this season without Branden Albert, and hell be absent again Sunday because of a dislocated left wrist. That means Miami must shuffle its line while facing a defense ranked sixth in the NFL.We have a big test ahead of us, especially with this front, Gase said. Its going to be a challenge, considering weve played four teams that have really good fronts, and this might be the best one that were about to face.Albert was sidelined earlier by an illness and ankle injury. Hell be replaced by first-round draft pick Laremy Tunsil, who will move from left guard to tackle, his position in college.When he bumps out to left tackle, thats like riding a bike for him, Gase said.FULL STOP: The Rams are staying on the edge of playoff contention with another dominant season from the defense led by defensive tackle Aaron Donald, linebacker Alec Ogletree and cornerback Trumaine Johnson. Los Angeles has held its past three opponents under 18 points, and two of its three wins have come without an offensive touchdown by the Rams.HANGING ONTO THE BALL: The Dolphins offense hasnt committed a turnover during the winning streak, and Tannehill has thrown 109 passes without an interception in the past four games.Gase praised Tannehills decision-making, along with cohesion he has developed with the receiving group.We really feel like were in a decent groove as far as what were doing from week to week, Gase said.Tannehill threw seven interceptions in the first five games, four of them losses. Eliminating turnovers has helped the Dolphins score at least 27 points in every game during the winning streak. They reached that total only twice all of last season.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max Tn Black .

AB: The Autobiography is a romantic account of a boy with big dreams who becomes a man for whom so many of those come true.The story starts with what may be considered AB de Villiers finest moment as a cricketer, when he broke the record for the fastest hundred in an ODI, against West Indies in January 2015. We already know all the numbers: the fifty came off 16 balls, the century off 31, and the 16 sixes equalled the record for the most hit in an ODI, so perhaps the most startling fact is that de Villiers wanted David Miller to go in ahead of him after the openers posted 247 inside 39 overs.Selflessness has defined de Villiers career. He is often spoken about as the ultimate team man, and the reader gets a sense of how that came about when the story goes back to de Villiers childhood. As the youngest of three brothers, he was forced to carry drinks and field while his brothers did the real stuff. It taught him to be tough, although at the time it occasionally made him want to cry.De Villiers does not shy away from emotions in the book, most notably when he reveals his religious convictions. He recalls two incidents that brought him close to God - one as a schoolboy and one after South Africas 2008-09 victory over Australia. Both brought him to tears and the second one also changed him as a sportsman, he writes.By 2008, which merits its own chapter in the book, de Villiers had decided that it wasnt going to be enough for me to be just another run-of-the-mill international batsman with an average in the mid 30s, and promised myself I would become the best batsman in the world.To do that he needed to give up his partying lifestyle, which he admitted was at one stage getting out of hand, perfect his technique, and professionalise. In a nuts-and-bolts section titled Crossroads he details how he assembled a support team around himself, which included an agent, a financial adviser and a personal assistant. It reads like a how-to guide to becoming a modern sportsperson, and will be fascinating for those who hope to follow in de Villiers footsteps.The results of those efforts saw de Villiers play major roles in South Africa winning in England and Australia for the first time since readmission, in their unbeaten run on the road that started in 2006 and only ended in 2015, and in their rise to No. 1. He recalls matches, some in elaborate detail, and makes regular reference to how South Africas success was founded on the strength of the captain, Graeme Smith. We were privileged to play for such a captain, de Villiers writes.In that time, he also watched the game change from a purely national sport to a multi-formatted beast, and to a club game, and he gives the sense that he is uncomfortable with the shifting ethos. In one passage he reveals how the childlike joy he once had was dimmed by the cluttered schedulee and constant treadmill of life on the road.dddddddddddd.The type of international tour that had once seemed such an adventure for a tight-knit group of 16 players, who were bonded by embracing so many different experiences in so many different places, had been transformed into some kind of military operation where, almost every day, someone would pack their bags and take a taxi to the airport and someone else would arrive, bleary-eyed, carrying their suitcase into the hotel foyer. It was increasingly difficult to predict who would be sitting beside you at breakfast the next morning, he writes. Thats not to say de Villiers does not support the growth of T20 leagues. Quite the opposite. He writes glowingly about the IPL and predicts it will only become bigger. The Indian Premier League will surely continue to grow and develop, leading the evolution of the game in many respects and I hope to participate for a few more years.But he remains nostalgic about the traditions of cricket as a national sport, and his optimism about the future of Test cricket is reassuring. In my view, Test cricket will continue to be played for many decades to come, played in daylight hours, played with a red ball and played in white clothing. It will continue because it remains the preferred format of a strong group of spectators, whose numbers are not declining and whose passion is not diminishing. I count myself as a member of this audience and I will be watching Test cricket for many years after I stop playing.So too is his admission that his desire for an ICC trophy has not dimmed. De Villiers has a recurring dream in which he takes a catch at cover to win South Africa the World Cup final and he suggests he will keep playing if he thinks he can achieve that.That pretty much sums up the man as we know him: an eternal optimist, a member of a band of brothers, a patriot. He spends a chapter explaining his hopes for South Africa as a country and praising its resilient spirit, revealing how he came to write South Africas team song, which they belt out after every victory. He writes with an innocence about how much he thinks can go right.Controversy barely crops up, with oblique references to the 2007 World Cup, when South Africas players were accused of drinking too much and cramping. De Villiers flatly denies that was the case. The 2015 World Cup semi-final selection is touched on but he is careful not to apportion blame.The timing of this book - while de Villiers is still a cricketer on the circuit - perhaps limits how much he could say about issues that concern him. In any case, those things may always remain unsaid because ultimately de Villiers is like a Famous Fiver who never ages - on a life of endless holiday and adventure.AB: The Autobiography by AB de Villiers Pan Macmillan 328 pages, R350 ' ' '
