Anaheim, CA - Anaheim Ducks defenceman Eric Brewer is expected to be sidelined for the next 4-to-6 weeks because of a broken foot. Blake Parker Twins Jersey . Brewer was hurt in Mondays game against Boston. It was just his second game with the Ducks after being acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay last Friday. The 35-year-old veteran had four assists in 17 games with the Lightning and has yet to notch a point in his two games with the Ducks. Miguel Sano Twins Jersey . Ben Street scored twice for the Heat (17-5-1), who won their fourth game in a row and 13th in their last 14 outings. Brett Bulmer scored the lone goal for the Wild (6-11-0), who dropped their sixth straight contest. Byron Buxton Jersey . With nothing tangible at stake, the Raptors turned in their most impressive outing of the fall in their seventh and second to last exhibition tilt against their stiffest competition yet, but they lost a couple starters in the process.When Bill Belichick pulled something new from his bag of tricks last week, some wondered if the three-time Super Bowl champion coach had found another way to bend the rules.The New England Patriots were creative and intentionally deceptive, but using four offensive linemen isnt illegal.The tactic worked and angered the Ravens and coach John Harbaugh. Theres no telling what wrinkles Belichick and the Patriots (13-4) are planning for Sundays AFC championship game against Indianapolis (13-5).Its a situation that I saw another team use, kind of, Belichick said, explaining the unique formation. Then we talked about it and thought about ways maybe to put some pressure on the defence with that concept of having more receivers on the field than were actually eligible. To make them ineligible instead of making an ineligible guy eligible, to go the other way around. We came up with a few ideas.Got that?OK, heres a simple summary of what the Patriots did for three plays against Baltimoreasterisk) Right guard Josh Kline came off the field.(asterisk) Backup tight end Michael Hoomanawanui entered and lined up where the left tackle traditionally plays but declared himself eligible.(asterisk) Left tackle Nate Solder moved inside to left guard.(asterisk) Running back Shane Vereen entered and lined up in the slot, but was technically the right tackle and therefore ineligible.That created confusion because the defence covered Vereen, thinking he was going to run a pattern. Hoomanawanui was allowed to run freely down the seam.Hoomanawanui caught two passes for 16 yards and 14 yards Harbaugh drew an unsportsmanlike penalty for going on the field to argue that his defence shouldve had more time to identify eligible receivers before the snap.After the penalty, Tom Brady tossed a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski to cut the Ravens lead to 28-21.Nobodys ever seen that before, Harbaugh said. Its not something anybodys ever done before.Belichick said he expanded on another NFLs coachs idea, but didnt say who it was. Philadelphias Chip Kelly is known for his innovative strategies and he introduced a few of these formations right away in his first game in 2013.Kelly has used a three-man line with tackles Jason Peters and Lane Johnnson both split wide to opposite sides. Blake Parker Jersey. Hes used a formation where both tackles are on the same side. And, hes had Johnson line up in the slot.Kelly and Belichick are good friends and the Eagles and Patriots have practiced against each other the week leading up to their preseason games each of the last two seasons. Maybe they shared secrets.Oregon, Kellys former team, uses strange formations often, especially on extra-point attempts.The Detroit Lions ran a similar play in Week 6 where they lined up six offensive linemen with one of them split wide. It didnt work and Matthew Stafford was sacked on the play.Perhaps Belichick and offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels watched the Alabama-LSU game on Nov. 8. The Crimson Tide ran the same formation on the first play of overtime and 304-pound offensive lineman Brandon Greene caught a 24-yard pass to the 1. Greene lined up in the same spot the Patriots put Hoomanawanui.Hardly ever see only four offensive linemen in the game, former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn told the AP this week. And to put an ineligible player who wears an eligible number out at a wide receiver position is unique. On top of that, the play was well-designed where Vereen stepped back and acted like he was running a screen. Nothing illegal about it.Earlier last week, Hall of Fame coach Don Shula referred to Belichick as Beli-cheat in an interview. Thats a label Belichick has heard since the coach was fined $500,000 and the Patriots were fined $250,000 and stripped of their 2008 first-round draft choice by the NFL for videotaping New York Jets signals during a 2007 game.But trick plays arent cheating or even unusual. The Patriots tied the score later in the game on wide receiver Julian Edelmans 51-yard TD pass to Danny Amendola.Belichick doesnt expect anything to prevent the Patriots from using their new formation against the Colts.Id venture to say I couldnt remember the last time that I havent seen an eligible receiver report as an ineligible player in the NFL, Belichick said. I would say it happens in every game on the punt team. Youre allowed to do that. We did it.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi  Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
