Ontheair of Iowa State, Osemele started all 16 games as a rookie at right tackle, then shifted over to right guard for the postseason run that ended with Baltimore lift- ing the Lombardi Trophy. A back injury shortened his second season, but he was named to Pro Football Focus' All-Pro team when he was back to full strength in 2014. He showed off his versatility again last year when he shifted to left tackle late in the season and played admirably. The Raiders outbid the Ravens to bring him to Oakland with that deal that includes $25.4 million guaranteed. He's already helped boost a run game that ranked 29th last year, but currently is second in the league with 148.3 yards per game. They've also al- lowed just two sacks. That's all been done de- spite five different play- ers taking snaps at right tackle. That includes ca- reer left tackle Donald Penn, who shifted over there in the season opener when Menelik Watson and Matt McCants both went down and Osemele slipped outside to left tackle. "I take a lot of pride in that," Osemele said. "It's a good mark of an offense line for you to be able to shift around and there not be a drop in play." As for facing the Ra- vens, it will be an inter- esting matchup facing so many guys on that front seven like Terrell Suggs and Timmy Jernigan that he knows so well. "I think for me it's going to be great just competing against guys that I've been practicing against for the past four years," Osemele said. "I know pretty much all of their moves and they know mine. They know the type of player that I am. It's just going to be fun. "There's going to be a lot of chirping and talk- ing and messing around, but at the end of the day, it's guys that I've played against and guys that were my teammates so it's going to be good to see how ev- erybody's doing after the game, but hopefully I leave there with bragging rights. That's what I'm looking forward to." Osemele also expects to get a fairly good reception from the Ravens fans, even if some are upset he left. "Baltimore fans are re- ally great," he said. "I know a couple of the times go- ing back this offseason, there were people just buy- ing me drinks and saying thank you for everything I've and all of that stuff, so I think the fans are going to be pretty cool about it. Obviously there's going to be a few that are upset that I left, but for the majority, they've been really support- ive throughout the process." • Jamize Olawale's first thought getting off the team charter following a road win in Tennessee was reach out to Marcel Reece. "When the plane landed that night, I shot him a text telling him we're holding it down for him and look- ing forward to him getting back to work this week," Olawale said Tuesday. In the cold business world of the NFL, players such as Reece lend a vet- eran's perspective to up- and-coming talents such as Olawale, then find their services are no longer re- quired. It became clear last De- cember that Olawale was a priority for the Raiders when he was given a three- year extension worth $6 million. Meanwhile, Reece served a four game suspen- sion that started in Week 17 last year and was released Monday when he suspen- sion was set to be lifted. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 cussion symptoms from a Sept. 15 practice. His avail- ability became clouded two days prior to the game when he didn't practice and weighed retirement. Davis was a 2010 first- round draft pick who started every game at right tackle his first five seasons. The 49ers offically placed on the "except/left squad" list Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins down- played Davis' departure, noting that the 49ers made due without him the past two games. "All I can say is I wish him the best," Modkins said. "He hadn't been out there for the last week or half or whatever, so really we're OK with what we've been doing and we'll just continue that as far as get- ting the guys prepared to play." Rookie John Theus is the only backup tackle on the active roster, and the 49ers would switch left guard Zane Beadles to the swing-tackle role if Staley or Trent Brown needed re- lief. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 the result of fatigue, espe- cially the last two months or so, when Fowler traveled to Rio de Janeiro for the Olympics and wound up playing on the road eight out nine weeks. "I'm feeling better about the game, having those two weeks off than I would have getting ready for the ... Tour Championship," he said. "I was able to go relax, rest, recover and then use the week to practice. "I'm rested and ready to go," he added a moment later. "That was big for me after the summer we had." Somewhere in between, Fowler found time to grow a mustache in solidarity with pal Justin Thomas that they dubbed "playoff 'staches." When his post- season bid fell away, Fowler planned to leave on the fa- cial hair "to support J.T. through the playoffs." But then he had to film a video, and off came the mustache. While Fowler and his pals have eschewed the in- timidation tactics and cut- throat approach to com- petition that was part of so many of the tool boxes the last generation carried around, the temptation to do so could prove tempt- ing this weekend. The Ry- der Cup is easily the most partisan event in the gen- tlemanly game, especially since Europe has won the last three and eight of the last 10. And almost on cue, some Europeans have al- ready turned U.S. captain Davis Love's description of his squad as "the best team, maybe, ever assem- bled" into a rallying cry. Fowler insists he won't take the bait. "It doesn't change for me. I may not be able to talk for everyone, but I don't feel that anyone is acting any differently to- ward each other, whether it's between team or oppos- ing teams," he said. "It's an accomplishment just to be here." This will be Fowler's third try and some valida- tion is in order. He was a captain's pick this year and in 2010 and has yet to win a match in four-ball, four- somes or singles, losing three and halving three others. "I don't think there's any trick to it," he said. "At the end of the day, you've just got to go out and beat those other guys." Golf FROM PAGE 1 prised given both he and general manager Bob My- ers expected some basket- balls to fly every which way as all the superstars found their timing together. Durant fit in "great" on the first day, Kerr said. "It went well, better than I thought," said Kerr, the reigning NBA Coach of the Year. "We had a team din- ner last night and I looked around and we had, I want to say, 12 or 13 new faces including the camp invites. It's a reminder that this is a much different team, much different season. Practice was really smooth, espe- cially considering all the new faces." Curry knows this team will be different from the group that came off a championship a year ago, and he has been remind- ing himself that "every day you have to learn a lit- tle something" to reach the big prize at the end. Losing Game 7 still stings for the Warriors, who led the series 3-1 be- fore squandering the ad- vantage — just as Durant and his former Thunder team did against the War- riors in the Western Con- ference Finals. "That's life, that's all part of it," Kerr said. Oh, and speaking of Curry's focus, he is com- pletely unconcerned as he enters into a contract year. He insists his future, which Curry plans to be right where he is now, can wait until next summer. "My answer's not go- ing to be any different all year, so keep asking me, I won't have a different one," he said. "I'm not go- ing to let it distract me at all. I want to be back here. I like playing here, and that's it. The rest of it is about what we're go- ing to do this year."
