season as he struggled to gain the coaching staff's trust. With no limitations this offseason, Murray has looked the best he has in his career, showing why the Raiders were so high on him coming out of Cen- tral Florida. "I think he's been hold- ing himself back," general manager Reggie McKenzie said. "Being able to prac- tice all the time and getting away from those nitpicking injuries. This is the first off- season that he didn't have to go through rehab. Com- ing into training camp he was 100 percent. Last year he just didn't get his op- portunity until week 10, 11. That part wasn't his fault. He was ready to play. He was healthy going into the season. Just the offseason leading up to it he was al- ways nicked up. If he can say healthy I don't think anything is holding him back." Murray carried the ball just six times the first nine games despite Oakland be- ing on pace to be the worst rushing team in the NFL since 1946. Murray then got four carries for 43 yards against San Diego on Nov. 16 and burst on the scene last November when he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on four carries against Kansas City as Oakland got its first win after 10 straight losses to open the season. Murray missed the next game with a concussion but had 68 carries for 258 yards the final four weeks to give him confidence that he can carry a heavier load this season. "It helps out a lot," he said. "Just to be a little more comfortable out there and knowing that I was able to make some plays and these people know that I'm capable of doing things like that. Just con- tinue to go out there and do that and get better ev- ery day and let that carry over into the season." With Murray carrying the bulk of the load and an improved offensive line an- chored by new center Rod- ney Hudson, the Raiders hope to show significant improvement in the run- ning game after finishing last in the league in rush- ing a year ago. Murray FROMPAGE1 day. Berman has been trying to move the sides toward a settlement of the dispute over deflated footballs that has morphed into never- ending offseason scan- dal. If there is no settle- ment, Berman will decide whether Brady's suspen- sion remains in place at the start of the season. Brady participated fully in practice on Monday. Second-year quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and recently signed veteran backup Ryan Lindley han- dled the snaps on Tuesday. "Brady is a key part of this team, a leader," said Patriots cornerback Mal- colm Butler. "There's noth- ing like having Brady out there. But if he's there or not, we're still going to work hard either way." Lindley was signed Aug. 10 after the team released veteran Matt Flynn. "He comes to work," Lindley said of Brady. "I think the biggest thing, though, that has impressed me is his leadership. I think you see it out here on the practice field, and obviously it transfers onto the game field on Sundays." Butler took advantage of the no-Brady day, nearly picking off a pass dur- ing 11-on-11 walk-through drills and drawing an on- field comment from coach Bill Belichick. "He just told me we needed that in a big-time situation," said Butler, who knows all about that after his clinching interception in the Super Bowl. Brady FROM PAGE 1 ERICRISBERG—THEASSOCIATEDPRESSFILE A er being more of a spectator than participant his first two years in the NFL, Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray is ready to carry the load this season for the Raiders. Mangini wants to see Moody translate all of his work to the field on game day. "From his growth from last year to right now, from an ability to run the de- fense, to see what the of- fense is doing, his work ethic, I've really been happy with Nick's devel- opment," Mangini said. Moody notes he has demonstrated "that I can accept coaching." "I've shown my speed and athleticism but I think the biggest thing is show- ing my discipline within the scheme and being able to take those same funda- mentals and apply them to an actual plan," he said. Moody was a sixth-round draft pick in 2013 and has made just two starts in the 20 games he has played so far. The gains have come with increased practice repetitions this camp af- ter months of working on his craft. "He's had the best off- season I've seen of any- body," defensive lineman Darnell Dockett said. "He's the first one in and the last one to leave. He's asking questions and do- ing things outside of foot- ball to take care of his body. I think that when you've been in an organi- zation with NaVorro Bow- man and Patrick Willis, you think, 'Why not him?' ... I told him that the sky is the limit for him." And across the coun- try at The Meadowbrook School, those who remem- ber the hard-nosed kid are hoping Moody shines. "We're rooting for him, of course," Gaines said. Moody FROM PAGE 1 By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press Danica Patrick's fit and healthy lifestyle has landed her a new sponsor that al- lows her to stay with Stew- art-Haas Racing. SHR announced a deal Tuesday that makes Na- ture's Bakery the primary sponsor of Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet beginning next season. The Nevada-based food brand replaces Pat- rick's longtime sponsor, GoDaddy. Nature's Bak- ery will place its signature tagline, "Energy for Life's Great Journeys," on Pat- rick's car for 28 of the 38 Sprint Cup events. "Our brands align so perfectly, it's amazing," said Patrick, who admit- ted she ate a Nature's Bak- ery gluten-free fig bar be- fore the announcement at SHR's race shop in Kan- napolis, North Carolina. Company founder Dave Marson said Patrick, one of the most recognizable athletes in the world with crossover appeal in sports and entertainment, fits the Nature's Bakery brand. "All you need to say is 'Danica' and people know exactly who you're talking about," Marson said. "She has immersed herself and succeeded in a very intense sport and been recognized for her efforts." Much of Patrick's mar- ketability was built during a long partnership with GoDaddy that began in 2007. The Internet domain giant — which tweeted its congratulations to Pat- rick, Stewart-Haas Racing and Nature's Bakery on the partnership — has been her main backer since the 2010 IndyCar season when she was with Andretti Auto- sport, and it followed her to NASCAR. NASCAR Patrick stays with SHR; new sponsor Nature's Bakery CHUCK BURTON — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHR announced a deal Tuesday that makes Nature's Bakery the primary sponsor of Danica Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet beginning next season. 2-3 innings, five days after the shortest start of his ca- reer when he recorded just two outs in a loss to Pitts- burgh. He walked a season- high five, one intentional. Santiago Casilla worked the ninth for his 29th save in 34 chances, finishing the two-hitter. Threat of heavy rain that never really material- ized delayed the start for 31 minutes. Ontheboard San Francisco left fielder Ryan Lollis, a 37th-round draft pick out of Missouri in 2009, singled in the eighth for his first career hit. Trainer's room Giants: OF Hunter Pence underwent an MRI exam for a left oblique injury sus- tained on a fly out in the ninth on Monday. Cardinals: OF Jason Heyward was out of the lineup, but the injury was not believed to be serious, perhaps just cramping, and he could return soon. Up next San Francisco RHP Matt Cain (2-3, 6.05 ERA) is 0-2 with an 8.24 ERA in his last four outings. Jaime Garcia (5-4, 1.57 ERA) was the first member of the Cardinals rotation to pitch into the ninth his last time out.
