INDIANAPOLIS - Linebacker DQwell Jackson wont watch the film of the Colts regular-season meeting with the Bengals.Defensive lineman Cory Redding isnt focused on it either.Watching the game wont do them any good while preparing for Sundays wild-card matchup with Cincinnati.Whatever happened in that game, you have to completely wipe it out, Jackson said Thursday. Theyre a completely different ballclub now.For Redding, that game is history.Thats how many weeks ago? I dont pay attention or look at that stuff, Redding said. What we did in the past is in the past.When Indianapolis and Cincinnati met on Oct. 19, it was a 27-0 demolition by the Colts. Since then, things have changed.The Colts could see receiver A.J. Green for the first time if he is cleared from concussion protocol. Green was sidelined with a turf toe injury in the first meeting between the teams.Linebackers Emmanuel Lamur and Rey Maualuga missed that game with injuries, too. Now quarterback Andrew Luck has more to pick through in Sundays rematch.They do a great job of just making plays, Luck said. It seems like they have a great mix of good veterans, young guys that can play. We know every yard is tough against them.Indys offensive line has been decimated by injuries. Meanwhile, the Bengals have gotten a stronger ground game out of Jeremy Hill.The rookie running back wasnt on the Colts radar in Week 7. He totalled just 155 yards rushing over the first five games of the year, and ran for 15 yards against the Colts.Now, he leads all NFL rookies with 1,124 yards rushing and nine touchdowns on the ground, a threat the Colts (11-5) are preparing for.Our one biggest thing on our game plan is you must stop Hill, defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois said. We must stop that run game and make them beat us throwing.Hill became the third rookie with four games totalling 140 or more yards rushing — all after the Colts-Bengals game.With Hill, the Bengals (10-5-1) have become so much more effective running the ball.I expect them to come in and that will be their main focus, Jackson said. Thats what we have to do defensively is force them to get into the third-and-longs, and thats by winning first and second down.Indianapolis running game, on the other hand, hasnt been so consistent, even after the Colts rushed for 171 yards against the Bengals — their second-highest total of the season.Additionally, Indy has been searching for continuity on the offensive line. The Colts have battled injuries for much of the season, including starting right guard Hugh Thornton (shoulder) and A.Q Shipley (ankle), who started four games at centre and a game at left guard.Backup offensive lineman Joe Reitz returned this week after missing the previous three weeks with an ankle injury.On Wednesday, the Colts placed Gosder Cherilus on injured reserve. The right tackle, who has a groin injury, started 13 games.Thats just part of Indys worries. The Colts feel like they have a whole new Bengals team to prepare for.They give you a lot of problems as far as diagnosing, getting lined up, and playing assignment football, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Theyre playing fast, theyre playing physical. Of course, with Hill running the way hes running and the offensive line doing extremely well, its going to be a huge challenge for us.NOTES: Shipley (ankle) and Thornton (shoulder) didnt practice Thursday. . Receiver Reggie Wayne (groin) and linebackers Bjoern Werner (shoulder) and Erik Walden (knee) were upgraded to full practice. . Colts offensive co-ordinator Pep Hamilton avoided questions about the Raiders interest in him as a potential head coach. When asked if he was given permission to speak with Oakland, Hamilton said, My total focus is just to prepare for Sundays game against the Bengals and thats what were doing.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Dylan Strome Jersey .

For Sweed, a second round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, this will be his second go around in the CFL after previously having spent time with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.EDMONTON - The Ottawa Redblacks will take a passel of ex-Eskimos and a collective chip on their shoulder when they go for their first CFL franchise win Friday. The Redblacks are taking on the Edmonton Eskimos in their second regular season game Friday night. Catch the game live on TSN as the back end of a doubleheader starting at 10pm et/7pm pt. "Im not going to give you the politically correct answer," Ottawa linebacker T.J. Hill told reporters Thursday after the 0-1 Redblacks arrived at Commonwealth Stadium. "No disrespect to the Blue Bombers … but we definitely feel like we let that one slip away. "Weve got to finish, and theres no excuses." The Redblacks jumped out to a 21-7 lead in their opener in Winnipeg last week, but multiple penalties and big mistakes on special teams allowed the Blue Bombers to stage a 36-28 comeback win. Hill is one of eight former Edmonton Eskimos on the Ottawa roster for Fridays game. Hill was a veteran and a longtime locker-room leader for the Eskimos, but was let go in the off-season as the team remodelled its defence under new head coach Chris Jones. Hill said he doesnt feel any added incentive to win on his former home turf against his old mates. "Im always fired up to just have the opportunity to play," he said. Not so for fellow Redblack and former Eskimos receiver Marcus Henry, who was picked up by Ottawa after failing a training camp medical in Edmonton. Henry was asked if he was OK with how things ended for him in Edmonton. "At first no, I wasnt OK with it. It was (a) surprise to me, too," he said. "But coming through the locker-room after I got released, the guys picking me up and stuff, I got over it pretty quick. But itt still stings a bit, he added.dddddddddddd "Whenever you get released by a team and you go back and play them, theres always a chip on your shoulder," he said. The ex-Eskimos are also in the Ottawa coaching ranks, including head coach Rick Campbell, a former longtime assistant with Edmonton. He said they need to reduce the penalties and protect the football from an Edmonton defence that has already intercepted seven balls en route to a 2-0 record. "We need to take care of the football," said Campbell. Against Winnipeg, the Redblacks were flagged 16 times for 120 yards and gave up big plays on special teams. A 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Winnipegs Demond Washington left the Blue Bombers just two points down with more than 10 minutes to play. On the Eskimos side, quarterback Mike Reilly said they need to execute better in the red zone. So far the Eskimos have scored three TDs in seven trips inside the 20-yard line. Reilly said its not a question of plays or play calling, but execution. "You have to have better focus when youre down in the red zone," he said. "Things happen so much faster in the red zone. Theres very small room for error when youre down there and so you have to be very precise in your plays. "The opportunities are there. We just have to take advantage of them." As for familiarity, Edmonton safety Chris Rwabukamba said it will be nice to see old teammates return — up to a point. "Its fun playing against guys that you know, but when you step on that field, the No. 1 thing you want to do is win," said Rwabukamba. Notes: Eskimos linebacker JC Sherritt is out with an undisclosed injury. Hell be replaced by Dexter MCoil. ' ' '
