PHILADELPHIA - After Mark Sanchez completed a 52-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin on his first play in with the Philadelphia Eagles, lineman Jason Peters went over to congratulate his quarterback and was surprised not to be high-fiving Nick Foles. Bud Black Jersey .Yes, the similarities between Sanchez and Foles are such that even teammates cant tell whos playing.Sanchez, the former face of the New York Jets, will make his first start in 23 months when the Eagles (6-2) host the Carolina Panthers (3-5-1) on Monday night.Dont expect Chip Kelly to change his offence because he has a new quarterback. Sanchez stepped right in when Foles broke his clavicle last week, and led the Eagles to a win at Houston.We didnt change anything, Kelly said. I think he can run everything. The first play he was in there, we threw a 50-yard pass to Maclin. I think he truly understands what were trying to get accomplished here and he was great in terms of assisting Nick in all these games, and when it was his chance to go into the game and play, he did an outstanding job with it.Sanchez has a chance to revive his career after things went downhill in New York following consecutive appearances in the AFC championship game his first two seasons. Hes adjusted nicely to Kellys offence.Ive always enjoyed no-huddle tempo and I think some of my best play in New York was that format, Sanchez said.Panthers quarterback Cam Newton isnt doing quite as well.Newton has struggled during the teams three-game losing streak, completing less than 50 per cent of his passes for 527 yards with three interceptions and one touchdown. It hasnt helped that rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has dropped passes in the end zone in consecutive games.Newton has also been sacked 10 times during the three-game span while playing behind a makeshift offensive line. If theres a bit of good news for Carolina, its that left tackle Byron Bell and left guard Amini Silatolu are expected back Monday night.This is a team game and we cant put it on the quarterback and say it is all about the quarterback, Carolina coach Ron Rivera said.Here are some other things to watch for Monday night:SHADY TIME: LeSean McCoy has rushed for 100 yards in two of the last three games and the 2013 NFL rushing champion should expect to find some open lanes against Carolina. The Panthers are 26th against the run, allowing 131.9 yards per game. Theyve allowed seven of nine opponents to rush for 100 yards or more and surrendered 11 TDs on the ground. The Eagles featured a three-headed rushing attack last week at Houston: McCoy had 117 yards; Chris Polk had 50; Darren Sproles had 17.FINDING OLSEN: Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has four catches in the last two games after averaging six per game the first seven weeks. Part of the reason for his decreased production is hes staying in and helping with pass protection rather than running routes. Olsen could see plenty of targets this week going against a defence thats missing middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans.O-LINE SHUFFLE: Evan Mathis, a 2013 All-Pro, returns for the Eagles at left guard, but right guard Todd Herremans is out for the season with a torn left biceps. A dominant offensive line helped Philadelphia lead the NFL in rushing last year and the same five guys started all 17 games, including playoffs. They werent together for one game this season. Right tackle Lane Johnson was suspended four games to start the year. Mathis injured his knee in Week 1. Center Jason Kelce missed four games. Now, Herremans is gone. Only left tackle Jason Peters has started every game.SECONDARY CONCERNS: The Panthers have allowed 17 TD passes this season, which is as many as they surrendered all of last season. Carolina lost starting cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and safety Mike Mitchell in free agency, and the revamped secondary has struggled without them. Cornerback Melvin White was benched earlier this season for Josh Norman, and Antoine Cason was benched for White in Carolinas loss to New Orleans on Oct. 30. Last month, the team released veteran nickel back Charles Godfrey as part of the ever-changing secondary. Safeties Roman Harper and Thomas DeCoud, two low-budget free agent signings, have struggled.COMING HOME: The Panthers have plenty of Philly connections. Rivera spent five seasons as linebackers coach with the Eagles from 1999-2003. Defensive co-ordinator Sean McDermott was on Philadelphias staff from 1998-2010, including the last two years as defensive co-ordinator. McDermott replaced Jim Johnson when he passed away in July 2009. Wide receiver Jason Avant spent his first eight seasons with the Eagles. He played in the fifth-most games (116) for an Eagles wideout before he was released in March.___AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte contributed to this report___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Cam Gallagher Jersey .

Haas broke Zeballos serve twice in a row in the decisive set to close the match and take a step closer to his second final of the year. The 12th-ranked German lost to Marin Cilic in the final in Croatia earlier this month. Haas will next play Paolo Lorenzi of Italy, who reached his first ATP semifinal with an upset 7-6 (6), 6-7 (4), 6-4 win over fourth-seeded Juan Monaco of Argentina. "Lorenzi has been around for a long time so this is a goal Im sure he has been waiting to achieve for a lifetime," Haas said. "He has nothing to lose and is going to try to go one more and get to his first ATP tour final. He is a dangerous player. Im going to have to try to play some of my best tennis." The 114th-ranked Lorenzi broke Monacos serve to go up 4-3 in the final set and held on to close the match in 2 hours, 34 minutes at the Ibirapuera Arena. The 32-year-old Italian squandered a match point before losing the second set, but was in control in the third to pick up the win in the ATP 250 tournament in South Ammericas biggest city. Kevin McCarthy Jersey. Lorenzi served 12 aces en route to his first pro semifinal after five career quarterfinal losses. "Im very happy to finally breakthrough to the semifinals," Lorenzi said. "Ive had a lot of opportunities before but was never able to come up with the victory at this stage. For sure this is one of my greatest weeks on the tour." The 43rd-ranked Monaco was trying to win his 200th clay-court match. He is the fifth-highest winner on the surface, behind Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo and Nicolas Almagro. Monaco had a set point in the first set but couldnt capitalize on it. "It was a very close match, he had his chances in the first set and I had mine in the second, it was very difficult," Lorenzi said. In another quarterfinal Friday, Federico Delbonis of Argentina easily beat Alberto Montanes of Spain 6-4, 6-3 in just over an hour. He will play either home-crowd favourite Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil or Martin Klizan of Slovakia. Defending champion Rafael Nadal is not playing at the clay-court tournament this year. He chose to play at the first edition of the Rio Open, which he won last week. ' ' '
