RENTON, Wash. -- Steven Terrell is about to lose whatever anonymity he had.Since arriving in Seattle before the 2014 season, Terrell has led a fairly quiet and inconspicuous life as a backup safety and key special teams contributor for the Seahawks. He has done his job well, but maybe not to the point where its noticed when he is on the field.Thats about to change in a hurry, with Terrell stepping in as the starting free safety after former All-Pro Earl Thomas broke his lower left leg.Hes got it, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Hes looked really good when hes played, so hopefully hell just continue to get better and more confident and flow with the guys better as we stay together out there.The expectation is Terrell will be out there for the final four games of the regular season and however far Seattle can advance in the postseason. Short of stepping in for Russell Wilson or maybe Richard Sherman, there may not be a more difficult player on Seattles roster to replace than Thomas, who was injured in the first half of last Sundays win over Carolina.Thomas combination of speed, skill and experience as the anchor in the back of Seattles defensive scheme makes it tough for anyone to replicate.Just his natural ability. Hes just one of those players that comes along once in however many years, Terrell said. He just has a knack, a natural knack and he just has it. Hes really instinctual and has a great feel for everything.Part of the unknown with Terrell is simply having not gotten much of an opportunity. Thats the price of playing behind Thomas, who until two weeks ago had played every game of his professional career.Terrell signed with Seattle at the start of training camp in 2014 and found a home after spending his first season in the NFL bouncing around between Jacksonville and Houston.Finding stability meant giving up the chance to be a regular contributor on defense. Terrell wasnt going to beat out Thomas for a starting role, so he made special teams his opportunity to shine. During the 2015 season, Terrell appeared in 12 games but recorded just one tackle.While his playing time was limited, Terrell was continuing to learn from Thomas.He kind of teaches in his own way, Terrell said. For me, I learn more from him just asking questions, his mindset about things and how he sees certain situations and little things in our position like reading the quarterback, or what is the first thing you do when you watch film. Little things like that, thats what Ive gotten the biggest advantage from Earl.Terrell has gotten more playing time in the past three games at safety than maybe his entire career combined. Terrell stepped in when Thomas suffered a hamstring strain midway through Seattles win over Philadelphia in Week 12 and played the entire game the following week against Tampa Bay. And he jumped right back into action when Thomas limped off the field last Sunday after injuring his leg.Terrell knows he likely will be picked on, beginning with Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay this weekend.I would assume they would, he said. This defense, its kind of hard to single one person out and try to attack them. We have so many weapons and the way our style of play is, but I assume they will come after me. I dont really know.Game notesTo add depth in the secondary, Seattle signed safety Jeron Johnson, who was with the team from 2011-14. Johnson spent the 2015 season with Washington and was in camp with Kansas City before finding himself out of the league. It was an easy decision with Johnsons familiarity with the system and that he lives full-time in the Seattle area. ... With FB Will Tukuafu in concussion protocol, the Seahawks also signed former Oakland fullback Marcel Reece. Reece, who played collegiately at Washington, was released by Oakland earlier this year after serving a four-game suspension for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 2019 Baratas .

Westbrook said. I turned a new leaf though because that cost me $25,000 last time. I guess the fan, hell be all right. I guess they can say whatever they want to the players and do what they want.Westbrook was fined by the league for directing inappropriate language toward a fan in a playoff game last year. He took the high road toward the Sixers fan and stuck around to score the decisive points on opening night for the Thunder in their first game since Durant left in free agency and signed with the Golden State Warriors.Embiid nearly matched Westbrook down the stretch and showed a needed spark for the Sixers.Embiid scored 20 points in 22 minutes in his first game since the Sixers made him the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 draft. Embiid had sat out the last two seasons with foot injuries. He received a roaring ovation when he was introduced and fans went wild on every shot.Fans chanted Trust The Process when Embiid was at the free-throw line. The catchphrase became a rallying cry under former team president Sam Hinkie.Having the fans chant that, it was special and I loved it, Embiid said.Westbrook and Embiid swapped jumpers that tied the game 97-all. Westbrook sank two free throws with 35 seconds left for a 99-97 lead in front of a raucous crowd. Enes Kanter silenced them for good and sent them toward the exits with a putback layup after the Sixers missed a shot on the other end.Yes, it was another loss for the Sixers, but one that came with a 7-foot-2 asterisk.Embiids performance largely stole the show from the opening-night shenanigans that otherwise tarnished the night.Sixers fans who had been waiting to cheer for Embiid for more than two years went wild every time he touched the ball. A group of fans held a siggn that read, In Embiid We Trust.ddddddddddddhe Sixers just might prove they made the right decision to trust in Embiid.The sellout crowd of 20,487 fans erupted when the 7-foot-2 center from Kansas, Joooooel, Embiiiiid was introduced during game introductions. They stood and gasped when Embiid attempted his first shot of the game -- a missed 3-pointer.He had a nifty spin in the post and a bucket for a quick 10-2 lead.The Sixers, yes, the 10-72 Sixers, at last had a dose of good news.Embiid starred on a nationally televised performance and gave a teasing glimpse that he just may be the franchise cornerstone player that can help shift the franchise toward respectability.I love this city and I just want to appreciate the moment, he said.Westbrook, now The Man in OKC, refused to cede the spotlight entirely to Embiid. He scored 12 points in the first quarter and 22 through three to keep the Thunder within striking distance entering the fourth.TIP-INSThunder: Coach Billy Donovan said the Thunder will win without Durant, just do it in a different way. It will be a constant process throughout the season to get everyone to understand, he said.76ers: Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard rang the ceremonial opening bell. ...
