Sydney coach John Longmire is confident the minor premiers worst tackling performance of the AFL season will prove an aberration. Cheap Broncos Jerseys .Greater Western Sydney laid 32 more tackles than the Swans in week one of the finals, laying the platform for an upset victory in the derby.The result means Sydney face the ignominy of a straight-sets exit for the second year in a row.Longmire is upbeat his side will ramp up the pressure on Saturday night, when they face Adelaide in a knock-out SCG clash.It was probably our worst result for the year in regards to missed tackles, Longmire said on Thursday.Normally its a real strength of ours ... weve been pretty good over the course of the year.If we play well were generally tackling in big numbers but also our tackle effectiveness is really strong.We were disappointed ... but were really confident we can get some pressure on the ball (against the Crows).The Swans lead the league in tackles this year, while hard-nosed midfielders Luke Parker and Tom Mitchell both rank in the top 10 for tackles this season.Longmire called on every player - no matter their finals experience - to lift on the weekend.Weve got a pretty strong leadership group and an experienced playing group. Weve also got some younger players in the team as well, he said.But you back their focus and performances over a long period of time.Theyve certainly got the know-how and track record to be able to deliver some pressure around the ball.Longmire confirmed Toby Nankervis would replace injured ruckman Kurt Tippett, while Jeremy Laidler looms as a likely inclusion for injured young gun Callum Mills.Tippett, who is nursing a broken jaw, and on-baller Josh Kennedy both required concussion tests during a physical cross-town clash at ANZ Stadium last Saturday.Longmire guaranteed Kennedy would be fit to face the Crows.He was fine. He trained fully on Tuesday, he said.Longmire was full of respect for the Crows, noting their star-studded forward line would bust the game open if given the chance.Thats why the midfield pressure battle is always a critical one, particularly when youve got an opposition forward line stacked with so many talented players, he said.We need to make sure the entries they do get have a bit more pressure around them than what we applied last week.With the talent theyve got in their front half, they can cause any team headaches no matter where they play.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan expressed optimism Saturday that wide receiver Percy Harvin will be able to play Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks despite spending the past year away from football.I feel good about Percy, Ryan said. I didnt say well play him 50 snaps, but I will play him... I think we can play him some, I do. He looks good out there. The conditioning part of it and doing the football-specific things are obviously not to where he would be if he was here the whole time, but I think he can help us.The Bills signed Harvin on Tuesday, luring him out of a six-month retirement. Harvin, 28, has not played since Week 5 of last season, before the Bills placed him on injured reserve because of lingering hip and knee injuries.Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Bills general manager Doug Whaley did not rule out the possibility of Harvin making his season debut Monday night but indicated the team could use its bye week after the Seahawks game in order to get Harvin re-acclimated to the NFL.Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn was also hesitant about playing Harvin after only three practices this week.Im going to wait until the end of the week to evaluate that and see how were going to use him, and if were going to use him, Lynn said Friday. The guys been out of football for a year, comes back, pracctices for two or three day and then [goes and plays] in an NFL game. Chris Harris Jr. Jersey. Thats asking a whole lot.Injuries have depleted the Bills receiving corps in recent weeks. Robert Woods remained limited in practice this week with a foot injury and Brandon Tate was ruled out Saturday because of a concussion. Marquise Goodwin, who did not play in last Sundays loss to the New England Patriots because of a concussion, is expected to play Monday night.Top receiver Sammy Watkins remains on injured reserve and is eligible to return to practice next Friday, although the Bills are not expected to practice because of their bye week. He can play as soon as the Bills Nov. 27 game against Jacksonville.Thats the big one, Ryan said Saturday of Watkins. I have no idea if hell be ready or not, but thats the one were hoping for.In addition to Harvin, Ryan confirmed Saturday that he is confident running back LeSean McCoy will be able to play Monday night after sitting out last week because of a hamstring injury. McCoy is listed as questionable on the injury report and was limited in each practice this week.The Bills ruled out defensive linemen Marcell Dareus (groin) and Corbin Bryant (shoulder) for Mondays game.
