ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rio calls Omar Bolden the Broncos Swiss Army knife.The third-year defensive back from Arizona State adds a dose of versatility to a defence packed with Pro Bowlers and gives Del Rio the ability to sprinkle in some exotic formations.We play him everywhere. He knows the nickel, the corner, the safety, the joker, the dime. He can play a lot of different spots for us, Del Rio said. When you learn safety, youre forced to learn all those different positions and you have a great feel for how it all ties together. I see his confidence growing.Not just on defence, either. Bolden has emerged as a special teams standout.He led the team with a dozen special teams tackles and has emerged as the primary kickoff returner heading into the playoffs. His bursts of 77 and 76 yards the last two weeks boosted his season average to nearly 30 yards per return.The way hes playing on special teams right now is outstanding, Del Rio said. The way hes preparing each week to play with great energy and being able to do different roles is very valuable for us.Youd think Bolden would be, well, emboldened by such high praise. No. He insists hes not even at full strength yet following knee surgery that scuttled his senior season.When his teammates were patting him on the back and the crowd was going crazy after he returned the second-half kickoff to the Oakland 30-yard line last week, Bolden was ...Ticked, he said. Im in front, thats supposed to be six.After weaving his way past the first wave of tacklers thanks to a block by rookie Cody Latimer, Bolden was sprinting up the Raiders sideline when Sebastian Janikowski got a hand on him. That allowed Chance Casey to catch up and knock him out of bounds.Two plays later, C.J. Anderson scored.Dont get me wrong, Im excited that I made a big play, Bolden said, but Im just disappointed that it wasnt as big as I would have liked.Bolden figures to have an impact in the playoffs either on special teams or from scrimmage, especially if safeties T.J. Ward (neck) and David Bruton Jr. (head) are still limited.I can remember being in a team meeting about midseason and were separating the DB room, safeties and corners, and I hear Omar, Which room am I in this time? coach John Fox said. Hes just a guy whos a good football player. ... And hes always been a really good fourth-down player, and the return thing, we were juggling until we found the right combination and hes slipped into that role very well, too.Fox said Bolden laid the foundation for Pro Bowl consideration as a special teams ace next season.For such a fast guy, Bolden sure has been patient.His rookie year he had a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the preseason. But six weeks later, the Broncos grabbed Trindon Holliday off waivers and Bolden began biding his time again.Hes missed just one game in his NFL career and has carved out niches in the secondary and on special teams.And hes thrilled to be the teams kick returner now. He first fell in love with the game as a youngster zipping past other kids with the ball in his hands and a head of steam, never one to let fear of injury slow him down.I feel like Im running too fast that guys dont want to tackle me, Bolden said. Thats how Id look at it. Because when I see somebody running fast, Im like, Oh, thats going to hurt. Im moving too fast; most guys dont want that kind of collision, you know?The Broncos took a chance on Bolden in 2012, drafting him in the third round even though he missed all of 2011.The film we saw of him when he was healthy, he was very good, Fox said. Coming off a knee injury and getting used to the NFL season took him a minute and now hes starting to flourish.Bolden figures he has one more step to make, though.Pre-surgery, I wouldnt have been caught, he said. Its getting there, though. Its about like 98, 97 per cent. Were close.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Jordans For Sale .

Kevin Durant certainly played like there was on Sunday night, scoring 36 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as the Thunder made quick work of the visiting Pacers with a 118-94 win. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Kris Negron waited a long time for his first major league home run. When it came, he was in a hurry to celebrate with his teammates. Negron hit a three-run homer, All-Star Todd Frazier added a two-run shot and the Cincinnati Reds rolled into the break with a 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Called up from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday for his first appearance in the majors since playing four games in 2012, Negron hit an opposite-field homer to right off Francisco Liriano in the second inning. The RBIs were the first of his career, and the hit was his second. "Negron is a tempo guy," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "You could tell it was a surreal moment for him because he was flying around the bases. It was a lifetime achievement. Negron has been in professional baseball for nine years. He was promoted from the minors when second baseman Brandon Phillips was put on the disabled list with torn ligaments in his left thumb. "I was so amped up that I was around the bases as quickly as I could be," Negron said. "I love playing this game. You have your ups and downs but you have to keep playing. Im not thinking about how long Im going to be here. Im just blessed with the opportunity and Im going to keep playing whenever my number is called." The game was delayed by rain for 56 minutes with Pittsburgh batting in the top of the fifth. Frazier lined a drive just inside the right-field foul pole on the first pitch from Vance Worley in the sixth to help the Pirates finish 2-5 on their road trip. "They got two good swings," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "We came in and looked at Fraziers home run. That was a good piece of hitting. We had something going after the rain delay. We were one pitch away from popping it. We werent able to get that big swing." The Reds went 8-3 on their 11-game homestand against Milwaukee, the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh to finish the first half 10-0-1 in series against those Central Divisiion-opponents.dddddddddddd They are 0-3 in series against St. Louis. Johnny Cueto, another Reds All-Star, overcame Neil Walkers home run and the rain delay to last six innings. Cueto (10-6) allowed five hits and three runs with two walks and seven strikeouts. He also hit a batter. "It was muggy and he was on base a couple times," Price said. "He took advantage of the rain delay. He got out of the heat." Cueto rushed off to Minnesota for the All-Star game. Jumbo Diaz pitched the seventh, and Jonathan Broxton worked the eighth before Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth for his 21st save. Diaz is another player added to the roster after a lengthy stint of 10 years in the minor leagues. He was invited to spring training for the first time in his career this spring and dropped 70 pounds to give him his first shot at the big leagues. "Hes throwing the ball over," said Price of his 274-pound reliever. "A lot of guys will try to miss the bat, but he comes right at the hitter with a 94 mile an hour fastball and a good slider." Chapmans fanning of leadoff batter Pedro Alvarez extended his record strikeout streak to 41 straight appearances. Lirianos start was his first since June 10 against the Chicago Cubs, when he strained his left oblique strain. He tied his season high by issuing six walks for the second time in three starts. Liriano (1-7) lasted four innings, allowing three hits and three runs with four strikeouts and a wild pitch. He left the bases loaded in two of his four innings. "I was a little excited going out to pitch," Liriano said. "I tried to do too much." Devin Mesoraco drove in Jay Bruce from first base with a double off the left-centre field wall in the fifth.
