RENTON, Wash. --?Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman fired back at Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians on Wednesday, shooting down Arians contention that leaping over the line to block field goals is bad for football.Its bad for his team, Sherman said. If he means bad for his team is bad for football, then I can see that. But they have a predictable cadence, and itll happen to them again if they keep doing it the same way.In the second quarter of Sunday nights game, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner leaped over the line of scrimmage and blocked Chandler Catanzaros field goal attempt. Wagner also leaped over the line on Catanzaros attempt in overtime. The game ended in a 6-6 tie.Arians told SiriusXM NFL Radio that long-snappers will now have to raise their heads up and risk getting hit in the face. Sherman was asked if Arians had a point.No, no, that sounds foolhardy, Sherman said. By the time he snaps the ball, theyre over him. If you watch that play, by the time the ball is through his legs and he would have time to look up, Bobbys in the backfield. So that rhetoric is denied.Later Wednesday, Arians said, I dont give a s--- about it anymore. Its in the past.As for the legality of the play, NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino explained in an interview with NFL Network why Wagners leap Sunday night wasnt penalized.Theres contact, and then theres incidental contact, Blandino said. He can run up and jump, but he cant land on players. Now if he brushes a player or brushes a teammate with incidental contact, that would be legal.So hes gonna run, jump and clear the line, block the kick. You look at the TV copy replay, and you can see that there is some contact. His foot is going to brush the back of the snapper, but that is not significant contact. Its incidental. He didnt land on players. So thats what made it legal.Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the call was cut and dry.Its not an illegal play, he said. Its not. We talked to the guys and its not. [Arians] has his opinion on how hed like that to go, but its not an illegal play.Added Sherman, It was a legal play. And every year theres something else theyre trying to get against the defense. Now youre saying we cant jump over your snapper because you made your cadence so predictable, you made your snapper keep his head down, and now you want to change the rule again because you got your kick blocked. Thats unfortunate.On Wednesday afternoon, Arians said hes going to use his vote on the competition committee to vote for making leaping the center illegal.I dont think I need to [push the committee], Arians said. Its already been pushed. Ill definitely vote for it in my vote.Information from ESPN Cardinals reporter Josh Weinfuss was used in this report.

DETROIT -- Almost every game is a productive one for the Columbus Blue Jackets these days -- whether they play well or not.Brandon Dubinsky scored a tiebreaking goal in the second period, and the surging Blue Jackets won their fifth straight game, 4-1 over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. Lukas Sedlak got his first NHL goal for the Blue Jackets, who have earned at least a point in 12 of their last 13 games.Sergei Bobrovsky had 32 saves for Columbus.I didnt think we were all that good, but Bob had another great game. You are going to need games like that and hes been giving them to us, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. There hasnt been enough to our game lately. We need more grit and more checking.Cam Atkinson contributed a short-handed goal in the first period for Columbus, which is three points behind the first-place New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division. Dylan Larkins power-play goal in the second was the only scoring of the night for the Red Wings.Sam Gagner scored into an empty net with 13.9 seconds remaining.Detroit goalie Petr Mrazek was pulled in favor of Jimmy Howard after Sedlaks goal made it 3-1 in the second.Mrazek was miffed after the goal that put the Blue Jackets up 2-1. He came well out of his crease to cover up a rebound, but there was no whistle, and he ended up playing the puck around the boards. A Columbus player was waiting and shot it back toward the net, and Dubinsky scored easily on a rebound.When that puck goes out that far, you cant cover the puck. Theres a little bit of grey area in the rule, but because its not in his sphere and it bounces further away, then at that point youre trying to play it and not covering an immediate rebound, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. They were telling him to play iit, he played it, and it ended up in our net.ddddddddddddhere were also a few players tangling in the corner during that play, away from the action.The goalies got to move the puck there or hes going to get a penalty, Tortorella said. I have no idea what was happening in the corner ... but we got a good shot, a good tip and a rebound.Later in the second, Sedlak, playing his 23rd game of his first NHL season, backhanded in a rebound to chase Mrazek.That was a great feeling, he said. Ive had so many chances that I didnt finish that I didnt really believe it at first.Atkinson opened the scoring in the first, beating Mrazek with a wrist shot 22 seconds into Detroits power play. Anthony Mantha of the Red Wings hit the post later in the period when he broke in on Bobrovsky from the left.Detroit tied it in the second when Larkin scored from the left circle on a rebound.The Red Wings outshot Columbus 33-25, the first time in 10 games the Blue Jackets had been outshot.I thought from a process standpoint, we did tons of things really good, Blashill said. It was unfortunate the way that the final result was, but if we play like that over a long period of time, were going to get lots of results over and over again.Game notes Columbus added F Oliver Bjorkstrand to the roster on emergency recall from Cleveland of the AHL. ...
