respect that people who play for coach Reid have for him and the kind of faith they have in him, said Chiefs wide receiver Jere Antworten

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Fans will have to wait at least a day to see the Kansas City Chiefs new presumptive backup quarterback.Rain forced the team into the indoor facility on the campus of Missouri Western State University for practice Friday, which took place hours after Nick Foles signed a one-year contract with an option for a second year. The move reunites him with coach Andy Reid, who drafted him out of Arizona in 2012 while with the Philadelphia Eagles.Foles adds experience behind starter Alex Smith and brings a familiarity with Reids system. After the Los Angeles Rams granted his release, Foles said, he contacted Reid and indicated he was the only coach he wanted to play for this season.Reid said after practice that the team remains Smiths, and Foles said he didnt receive any guarantee of being the No. 2 behind the 12-year veteran.I dont need any guarantees, Foles said. He knows that Im coming here to work and just be a part of the team. Im not coming here to try and do anything except be a great teammate to these guys, help Alex in any way and obviously, you always have to be ready to play because were here to play.Foles eschewed other potential offers that could have given him a better chance to compete for a starting job right away.After a sub-par season in 2015 with the Rams, Foles sees Kansas City as a place where he can re-evaluate where he is in his career. The Eagles were 15-9 in his 24 starts spread across three years, while the Rams were 4-7 last season after he went to St. Louis in a quarterback swap that offered him and former No. 1 pick Sam Bradford a change of scenery.Foles ended up seeking another change of scenery after just one year with the Rams, who chose quarterback Jared Goff with the first pick in the NFL draft. Some were not surprised he landed with the Chiefs and Reid.You know why it didnt? I think it goes to show the type of respect that people who play for coach Reid have for him and the kind of faith they have in him, said Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who caught 78 passes and 10 touchdowns from Foles with the Eagles in 2012 and 2014. Any time `Big Red wants you to be a part of what he has going on, thats an honor, so it didnt really surprise me this would be the spot he picked.Foles started six games in 2012 with the Eagles with limited results in what turned out to be Reids final season in Philadelphia.In 2013, Foles flourished after taking over the starting job from Michael Vick and threw 27 touchdowns and two interceptions in 10 starts under Chip Kelly and his innovative pass offense, which included an NFL record-tying seven-touchdown performance against the Raiders. That season ended with a trip to the Pro Bowl and seemingly cemented Foles as a star.Instead, the Eagles went 6-2 in his eight starts in 2014 despite limited success (13 touchdowns, 10 interceptions) before a season-ending injury ultimately spelled the end of Foles tenure with Philadelphia. He started 11 games last year with the Rams -- his worst season as a pro.I think he got out of me more than I ever thought possible, Foles said of Reid. He pushed me -- every throw, everything I did -- to just be aggressive and really, really helped me to be the player the next year (in 2013) and just continued to grow. It hasnt always been smooth; it hasnt always been like those first two years.At practice, Foles split repetitions with Tyler Bray, who signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie in 2013 and has worked as Smiths backup throughout the start of camp. Bray has never thrown a pass in a regular-season game, and neither have 2014 fifth-round draft pick Aaron Murray and 2016 fifth-round draft pick Kevin Hogan.Reid cited Foles experience as a reason to bring him into an already crowded situation behind Smith. The Chiefs cut defensive tackle Alameda Taamu to make room on the roster for the new quarterback.Nicks familiar, obviously, with the system, Reid said. Hes a good football player. He was good for me as a rookie and Chip that first year there. I think hes a good fit, and you cant have enough of those guys. Its a tough position, and you want to make sure that youre fully loaded there. I think were fully loaded.Foles hit tight end James OShaughnessy on his first pass during a drill at the indoor practice. He received limited opportunities to throw in his first workout with Kansas City and did not participate in the Chiefs first live-tackling segment of training camp.Reid said the Chiefs would continue to work on ways to split up repetitions and didnt have an answer for how long they would hold on to all five guys.Well see. Maybe Ill start my own hamburger stand, the veteran coach joked.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCustom Nike Miami Marlins Jerseys . Sgt.

Custom Nike Houston Astros Jerseys . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State will enter Atlantic Coast Conference play off to one of the best starts in school history.The 21st-ranked Seminoles got a career-high 19 points from Terance Mann on Monday as they took control in the second half for a 76-68 victory over Samford.Florida State has won eight straight and is 12-1 for only the third time, matching the 1988-89 and 2008-09 squads.Even though the Seminoles are ranked and off to a strong start, Mann said that might not mean a lot in a couple months unless they can play well in the conference.You cant make the tournament winning 12 games. We know we have to keep winning, Mann said. We havent done anything really in five years. We just got to keep getting better and prove to the world that were here and were good.Mann, whose previous career high was 18 last season against Georgia Tech, is on a roll. The 6-foot-6 sophomore guard is averaging 14.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in his past three games along with going 17 of 23 from the field.Samford led for most of the final five minutes of the first half before FSU scored the final five points to go up 31-27. Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who scored 15 points, had the key shot with a 3-pointer at the buzzer that bounced in off the rim.The Seminoles scored the first six points to start the second half, pushing the lead to double figures. Florida State led by 17 with 6:12 remaining after a 12-2 run.FSU shot 42.2 percent from the field (27 of 64), which was its second-worst shooting game of the season.Its a learning experience and preparing us for the ACC, Rathan-Mayes said. We did a good job of relying on our defense. I dont think there are too many nights where we are going to struggle like that offensively.Christen Cunningham led the Bulldogs (7-4) with 16 points while Demetrius Denzel-Dyson added 14.We gave ourselves chaances but we battled, Samford coach Scott Padgett said.dddddddddddd. Ive got a play card with 150 plays but I think we ran just one tonight. It was tough to drive inside.BIG PICTURESamford: The Bulldogs are 17-9 in nonconference games over the past two seasons but are 0-2 this season against teams currently ranked in the Top 25 (they lost to Cincinnati 70-55 on Nov. 23). Samford was picked to finish seventh in the Southern Conference but might exceed expectations based on how it has done so far.Florida State: The Seminoles struggled in the first half for the second straight game before pulling away in the second half. If it werent for blowing an 18-point, second-half lead on Nov. 24 against Temple, Florida State would be undefeated going into the Atlantic Coast Conference part of its schedule.HOT IN DECEMBERFlorida State has won 12 straight games in December and 16 of its last 17. It has also won 17 of its last 18 non-conference games in the month.TOUGH DAYEach teams leading player struggled. Florida States Dwayne Bacon, who came into the game averaging 17.2 points, scored 14 but was 4 of 15 from the field.Samfords Wyatt Walker, who is averaging a double-double with 13.7 points and 11.6 rebounds, was held scoreless in the first half. He had eight points and four rebounds.UP NEXTSamford: The Bulldogs host Florida A&M on Thursday. It is the first of two more nonconference games before they open Southern Conference play Dec. 31.Florida State: The Seminoles begin ACC play Dec. 28 against Wake Forest. They are 9-16 in conference openers.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
