PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Javon Hargrave may be quietly putting together a noteworthy start to his rookie season.Hargrave was listed as the starting nose tackle when the Steelers released their first depth chart of the regular season. Hargrave is currently dealing with a quad injury, but if hes able to play in the opener Monday at Washington, he will be on track to become the third rookie to start on the defense in 15 years.Its a blessing, but at the same time, I still havent played yet, Hargrave said Wednesday. Its not really official yet. Im just taking it day by day, still getting better and trying to help the team.Hargrave, who beat out third-year defensive lineman Daniel McCullers for the starting spot, injured his quad in practice Monday, the same day he was promoted. Hargrave said the injury wasnt serious.I was a little nervous, Hargrave said. It couldve been worse, but Im blessed that it wasnt. Its a blessing anytime you can avoid an injury like that.Hargrave is trying to become the second rookie in three years to start on the Steelers defense. Linebacker Ryan Shazier started as a rookie in 2014 and Kendrell Bell did the same as an inside linebacker in 2011.I just feel like I come out and work hard to try and get better every day, Hargrave said. Im just doing things to help the team and take advantage of opportunities.The Steelers drafted the 6-foot-2, 305-pound Hargrave in the third round out of South Carolina State. Hargrave was dominant at the FCS level, where he was a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2014 and 15. He amassed 37 sacks in 47 games at South Carolina State, including 10 or more in each of his last two seasons.Defensive line coach John Mitchell called Hargrave a self-made man when the Steelers drafted him and was impressed by his power and quick first step. The Steelers initially planned to use Hargrave in sub packages and as part of a line rotation, giving ends Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt a much-needed rest.But now it appears the rookie will be starting alongside the veteran defensive ends.Hes not a finished product, but hes growing, Heyward said. I think he understands his first skill is listening. If he can continue to grow and get better the sky is the limit for him.Heyward is most impressed by Hargraves resilience.He keeps bouncing back, Heyward said. He hasnt hit that wall where it seems like too much for him. Hes trying to grow every day and thats not easy, but you appreciate that. As a rookie, it can be very overwhelming at times, and it probably will be later down the road, but as of now, hes done a good job.Tuitt, in his third season, started just four games as a rookie. He realizes the difficulties of learning the Steelers defense.Every day at practice he wants to get better and he doesnt make the same mistake twice, Tuitt said. Hes just a hard worker and he bought into what we do on the defensive line.For the coaches to make the decision they made, they saw something in him that he was doing well.Game notes Heyward is progressing from a high-ankle sprain suffered in the preseason and said he `doesnt see any reason he cant be ready for Monday. .

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has gotten used to upheaval, working with five offensive coordinators in as many seasons.This time, though, the transition should be easier with veteran quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg taking over for Marc Trestman, who was fired on Monday.Flacco has appeared visibly frustrated with the recent play-calling and he hopes his rapport with Mornhinweg will help solve some of the issues, especially with stretching the field.Marty is an exciting guy, said Flacco, who has thrown for 1,282 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions. He brings a lot of confidence to the room. Hes very sure of what hes doing and what were doing. It gets everyone going. I think it gives everybody a good outlook on the game plan.Baltimore expected to have a more explosive attack, but faltered under Trestman. Heading into Sundays matchup with the New York Giants, the Ravens offense is ranked in the bottom half of the NFL, averaging 239.2 yards and 18.8 points per game.Those struggles prompted Ravens coach John Harbaugh to promote Mornhinweg. It was a move widely supported by the players.Its certainly got our attention, thats for sure, said Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta, who leads the team with 28 receptions. Its always tough to see someone let go like that. Marc Trestman is a great guy, great coach. It was difficult to see him go, but it was something that this offense needed. We were in kind of a bad place and it didnt seem like we were getting out of it. So, hopefully this will spark us. Marty is a great coach and we have a lot of faith in him.The Ravens (3-2) hope to establish more balance under Mornhinweg. Flacco has thrown more passes (216) thhan any other quarterback in the league.dddddddddddd Conversely, the Ravens have run the ball 121 times for 495 yards with three touchdowns.Flacco has also been forced to drop back behind an offensive line that has dealt with several injuries. As a result, he has been sacked 11 times. Flacco has one of the strongest arms of any quarterback in the NFL, but he is averaging just 5.9 yards per pass attempt.We definitely need to be better than we are, Flacco said.While Mornhinweg is expected to help the Ravens establish a more effective rushing game, he is known for implementing big plays. As the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, Mornhinwegs units were ranked in the top 10 for total offense in seven of 15 years.Mornhinweg also has a reputation for developing quarterbacks. Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Steve Young, Jeff Garcia and Brett Favre all reached the Pro Bowl under his tutelage.Hes very direct, hes very straightforward, Harbaugh said about Mornhinweg. One of things Ive always admired about Marty is he is a very descriptive teacher. He paints a very good picture for the guys. Thats a gift.The Ravens are optimistic they can see an immediate improvement Sunday against the Giants (2-3), who are allowing 358.2 yards per game and managed a league-worst four sacks.We just have to do what were doing better, Flacco said. Find a little more rhythm. Take advantage of some more opportunities. So, yeah, I think we can expect to out there and play well and find success.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
