. -- Defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. has more 15-yard penalties than
sacks, a growing concern for the Jacksonville Jaguars.Fowler has been
flagged nine times this season, which is tied for the fourth most in the
NFL, and three of those were major infractions. He was called for
unnecessary roughness late in the second quarter of Sundays 24-21 loss
to Houston , penalized for hitting quarterback Brock Osweiler well out
of bounds.It didnt end up costing the Jaguars (2-7) any points, but it
continued a trend that started in the preseason. And Fowler has shown
few, if any, signs of getting his undisciplined acts under control.
Jacksonville plays at Detroit (5-4) on Sunday.I thought he was making
good strides, coach Gus Bradley said Monday. I told you the last couple
of weeks you could see a conscious (effort) in him as far as hitting the
quarterback late or targeting. I thought he made great strides with
that. It was a foolish penalty (Sunday). Its like two steps forward, one
step back. He knows. We had the discussion at halftime, too. He has to
grow up in that area.Bradley benched Fowler for the remainder of the
half, which amounted to four plays. It was the second time in the last
three games the coach kept Fowler on the sideline after a silly
penalty.Bradley also benched Fowler for throwing a punch early in the
second quarter of a lopsided loss at Tennessee. That one turned a
15-yard completion into a 30-yard play and helped the Titans build a
17-0 lead.The third overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Fowler said
afterward that missing his rookie season because of a knee injury
affected him psychologically and has his emotions amped up -- maybe too
hyped -- while on the field.When Im out there, Im just out for blood and
everybody, Fowler said. I have to tame that and control that.It hasnt
happened, evidenced by his late hit on Osweiler.Clearly out of bounds,
Bradley said. I think thats what was frustrating in that
situation.Adding to his woes, Fowlers not getting consistent pressure on
opposing quarterbacks. He has 2 1/2 sacks in nine games and has been
supplanted in the starting lineup by rookie Yannick Ngakoue, and his
lack of control and numbers have some wondering if Fowler has more
potential to be bust than a Pro Bowler.Dantes challenge is his footwork,
and youll see it in practice, Bradley said. Hell go do individual drill
work and hes trying to get better at it. Hell come into practice and
its a team rep and you might see him do it two out of three times. In
the game, he reverts back to one out of three times, where in the past
you didnt see it transfer over to the game.I think were trying to break
that habit to where he gets more pressure, more up-field to where it
opens up more of his game.Fowler was dominant in college, finishing his
three-year Florida career with 140 tackles, including 33 behind the line
of scrimmage, and 14 + sacks. His skills havent transferred to the next
level yet, and his penchant for penalties has the Jaguars unable to
fully trust him on the field.I think Gus knows and we have a pretty good
understanding of the type of player that I am and my emotions, Fowler
said recently. But I guess I let my emotions get the best of me. I dont
want to hurt the team. ... Its just about being smart.---AP NFL website:

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy
layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the
league.
South Africa 354 for 5 (Bavuma 113, de Kock 82, Duminy 52*,
Behardien 50) beat Ireland 148 (OBrien 41, Duminy 4-16) by 206
runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTemba Bavuma became the second
South African to score a century on ODI debut and shared in a
Willowmoore Park record opening stand of 159 with Quinton de Kock to set
up a dominant performance in their one-off ODI against Ireland. An
87-run fifth wicket stand in 40 balls from JP Duminy and Farhaan
Behardien added to Irelands pain before they were blown away with the
ball to lose by more than 200 runs.Ireland managed to better the 82 they
scraped together against Pakistan in their last completed ODI but not
by much. They collapsed against pace up front, displayed poor shot
selection as the innings grew long and lost four wickets to the spin of
Duminy, an unlikely hero with the ball. They will be disappointed with a
showing that lacked energy in the field and at the crease.Not only did
Ireland err too much in length by routinely dropping it short, but they
also squandered chances and fumbled far too many times to properly
challenge a side fielding three debutants in their XI. Bavuma, Dwaine
Pretorius and Andile Phehlukwayo all gave solid accounts of their
abilities, none more so than Bavuma who is being looked at as a possible
future opener.
In this match, Bavuma stood in for Hashim Amla, who is awaiting the
birth of his third child. It was only the third time Bavuma had opened
in List A cricket and the early nerves showed in leaden footwork that
could have led to an early demise. In the second over, Bavuma drove
carelessly at a Peter Chase delivery and got a healthy edge to second
slip but Kevin OBrien could not hold on.De Kock shifted his weight more
easily from front to back foot and Bavuma soon followed suit. The pair
took advantage of Craig Young and Chases generous lengths and Bavuma had
soon caught up to de Kocks strike rate. Their half-centuries came
within two overs of each other and Ireland looked out of ideas and then,
out of luck.They dropped de Kock twice in two overs, first when a
slender bottom edge went through Gary Wilsons gloves and hit him in the
chest and then when he pulled Young to deep midwicket but John Anderson
spilled the chance and sent the ball over the boundary for four. De Kock
was headed for three figures before OBrien cramped him for room and
forced an inside-edge on to leg stumpDespite the strong start, South
Africa did not send in a pinch-hitter and Faf du Plessis was in at No.

3. Ireland took advantage of his cautious approach and created some
pressure with three boundary-less overs before Bavuma, lacking control,
top-edged Chase wide of the keeper.Bavuma quickly composed himself,
played his next pull to perfection and worked patiently through the 90s
before lofting a drive a deep cover to bring up his century, off 110
balls, and cap off a breakthrough year for him as an international
cricketer. In January, Bavuma scored his maiden Test century against
England at Newlands; less than 10 months later, he has a first ODI
century. The only other South African to reach three figures on debut
was Colin Ingram, in 2010.With the milestone out of the way, Bavuma
looked to change gears but du Plessis remained stuck and saved Ireland
from conceding 400, although Duminy and Behardien did their best to get
close. Duminy survived an lbw appeal off Dockrell, which Ireland
reviewed but replays showed he had managed a sliver of glove on the
ball, and he was soon into his stride. He found the boundary through
clever placement and excellent timing rather than flashy strokeplay,
which he left to Behardien, who provided the impetus at the end. He
scored 29 runs off eight balls, bringing up his fifty off just 21 balls,
to take the South Africa total over 350.Irelands chase was over before
it had properly begun when Porterfield was done for pace and trapped lbw
by Kagiso Rabada off the second ball. The Ireland captain reviewed but
the ball was pitching in line and clipping off stump. Rabada was also
involved in the second dismissal, when Anderson swatted a pull to fine
leg off Wayne Parnell.Pretorius got in on the action when he had Wilson
caught behind off a top edge after rushing him with a short ball and at
41 for 3 in the 11th over it was only a matter of time for Ireland. Paul
Stirling and OBrien mounted some resistance but South Africas spinners,
Aaron Phangiso and Duminy, accounted for six wickets between them.
Duminy finished with a career-best 4 for 16 as Ireland lost their last
seven wickets for 71 runs.
