FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Sheldon Richardson thinks its pretty easy to point out whats wrong with the New York Jets.And the solutions, the big defensive lineman says, are just as simple.Yeah, turnovers, score, things of that nature, Richardson said Friday.A quarterback switch from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Geno Smith was the focus this week for an offense that has struggled mightily with a league-low 15.8 points per game.But the Jets also are ranked 23rd in overall defense, an alarmingly low spot for a team coached by the defensive-minded Todd Bowles, whose squad finished fourth overall last season.New York has allowed 27.3 points per game, which ranks 25th in the NFL, and the passing defense is 28th.Weve got to execute, Richardson said. We cant blame everything on play-calling. Its mainly us, so weve got to make sure we execute.The biggest culprit might be the four measly takeaways: two interceptions by Marcus Williams, a fumble recovery by Richardson and Kansas City running back Spencer Ware losing control of the football and his fumble bouncing into the end zone and out of bounds.Thats it. Tied for 31st in the league, one more than the Giants.Weve got to get our hands on more balls, whether its tipped passes, turnovers or anything, Bowles said. Last year, we got a bunch of turnovers. This year, we havent gotten them yet.New York had five alone in the first game of last season, and finished tied for third in the league with 30 overall.You cant force plays, cornerback Darrelle Revis said. Youve just got to let them happen. They havent happened for us at the start of the season, but at the same time, weve still got to focus, do our jobs and when they come, theyre going to come in bunches.Were waiting for that, and hopefully we can start doing that this coming Sunday.The Jets (1-5) take on the Baltimore Ravens (3-3), who have done a good job of taking care of the football.Theyve turned the ball over just eight times, including four interceptions by Joe Flacco. But the Ravens quarterback hasnt been picked off in 151 attempts, the third-longest streak in franchise history, dating to his second interception of the game against Jacksonville on Sept. 25.I feel like if we get a turnover, theyll just keep coming, said cornerback Buster Skrine, echoing Revis comments. Last year, we got a turnover in the first game and they just kept coming. Its time for us to pick it up.It appeared the Jets were off to a good start with Williams getting interceptions in each of the first two games of the season. But other than Gilchrists play against the Chiefs in Week 3, Richardsons fumble recovery two weeks ago has been the only other takeaway by the Jets this season.Its not even just (turnovers), Richardson said. Just preventing points, you can still be a great defense. Were not doing that. So, even on that note, thats what it comes down to. Just not getting off the field on third down and we balled there last year, so weve just got to get back to it.Weve got to make plays.New York ranked first in the league in red-zone defense (35 percent) last season, and third overall in third-down defense (33.19 percent).This year, the numbers are far from what would be expected from a defense that many considered one of the NFLs best entering the season. The Jets are 24th in the red zone (64.71 percent) and 20th in third-down situations (40.3).Cheering home fans can be a factor in helping making things tough for opposing offenses. New York is playing its first game at MetLife Stadium in three weeks, and Richardson knows the crowd support directly depends on how they perform.We would like it, but youve got to give them something to cheer for, Richardson said. Were not blind to that fact, either. Its just that simple. You cant be cheering and you cant be happy if youre getting scored on.Game notes Richardson and WR Brandon Marshall downplayed their heated spat in the locker room after the Jets Week 3 loss at Kansas City. Its locker-room business, Richardson said. Thats what its supposed to be. Marshall said it was just a case of two leaders in this locker room trying to figure out a way to win. The argument never got physical, and Bowles addressed them and the rest of the team. It was really nothing, Bowles said. You lose a game, people get frustrated and you move on. ... In his first comments since having hip surgery Tuesday, WR Eric Decker told ESPN New York Radios Hahn and Humpty Show that hes not worried about missing any time next year. Decker, on IR with a shoulder injury, had the hip surgery that requires six months of recovery. Once hes off crutches in a few weeks, hell have the shoulder surgery, which is an eight-month recovery period.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Bob Uecker Jersey Large . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Bobby Cox Jersey Large . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. http://www.custombravesjersey.com/ . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Custom Bob Uecker Jersey . 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. Orlando Cepeda Jersey Large . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. ARCADIA, Calif. -- California Chrome was made the early even-money favorite Monday in a field of 10 for the $6 million Breeders Cup Classic, in which the 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner will try to close the year with an undefeated record.Chrome is 6-0 so far in 2016 and is already the richest horse in North American history with career earnings of $13.4 million. He will break from the No. 4 post on Saturday at Santa Anita under Victor Espinoza.This horse is ready, 79-year-old trainer Art Sherman said. Hes better now than hes ever been.Arrogate drew the far outside post and is the 5-2 second choice for the 1 1/4-mile race against older horses. The late-developing 3-year-old colt stunned the racing world in August when he won the Travers at Saratoga by 13 1/2 lengths. Arrogate will try to deliver a record third straight Classic victory for trainer Bob Baffert, who won last year with Triple Crown champion American Pharoah and in 2014 with Bayern at Santa Anita.Arrogate will be ridden by Mike Smith, whose 22 victories make him the leading jockey in the 32-year history of the event.I just hope all America is watching this race because its going to be a great race, Baffert said.The Classic will be shown live in primetime on NBC.Post positions were drawn Monday for the 13 races worth $28 million to be run during the world championships on Friday and Saturday.Whitney winner Frosted was installed as the 5-1 third choice in the Classic.Effinex, last years Classic runner-up, is one of two 15-1 shots in the Classic, along with Hoppertunity, Bafferts other entry.Also in the Classic field are Keen Ice, Melatonin, Shaman Ghost, War Story and Win the Space.The $2 million Distaff highlights Fridays four Cup races. The 1 1/8-mile race for fillies and mares pits three champions against each other: undefeated Songbird, Stellar Wind and Beholder.Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Songbird is 11-0, with five of her victories coming on her home track at Santa Anita. She is the 6-5 favorite ridden by Smith. They drew the No. 1 post in the field of eight.Shes going to run well, Smith said. Shes ready for something like this.Stellar Wind is the co-second choicce at 5-2 with Beholder, who will be making the last start of her career.dddddddddddd Last year at Keeneland, Beholder was scratched because of a fever that kept her out of the Classic against male horses.Stellar Wind landed in the No. 5 post while Beholder will break from the eighth spot.Its nice to get off the rail, said Richard Mandella, who trains Beholder, but I am a bigger believer in good luck and a good post, so we are hoping for good luck.Also in the Distaff field are Argentina-bred Corona Del Inca, Curalina, Forever Unbridled, Im a Chatterbox and Land Over Sea.In the $2 million Juvenile, Not This Time drew the No. 10 post in a field of 11 and is listed as the 7-2 favorite. Trained by Dale Romans, Not This Time is 2 for 3 and a victory on Saturday would position the 2-year-old as the early favorite for next years Kentucky Derby.Last years Juvenile winner Nyquist went on to win the Derby. He was set to run in the Classic, but came up with a puffy ankle and was retired Monday.The Juvenile field includes two Todd Pletcher-trained colts: Theory and Syndergaard, named for New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard.In the $1 million Turf Sprint on Saturday, Pure Sensation is the 4-1 favorite. Also in the field is Undrafted, owned by former NFL star receiver Wes Welker.
