question:Please write a short summary for the following article: Darrel Young working to remain positive despite decreased role Once a key member of Washington’s rushing attack, fullback Darrel Young continues to see his playing time on offense decrease this season while his coaches opt for a high number of multiple-tight-end sets instead. Young on Sunday received only four snaps on offense; That’s just six percent of Washington’s 63 plays. On average, Young has seen action on eight percent of Washington’s offensive plays. That represents a plunge from the 15- to 20-percent allotment he received last season, and the 25- to 33-percent range that Young received during his years under Mike Shanahan. Asked about the inactivity, coach Jay Gruden said, “You know, we could use him more. We probably should use him more, and that’s a consideration moving forward.” However, a dramatic reversal in approaches seems unlikely. Gruden didn’t use a fullback frequently during his time as offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals. Last season when he took over in Washington, he said he didn’t because the Bengals lacked a player that boasted the versatility and talent that Young had to offer. However, Young’s playing time decreased, although he still contributed both in the run and passing game. Last season, Young again recorded two receiving touchdowns, tallying 11 receptions for 81 yards as well. He had nine carries for 22 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Bill Callahan’s arrival contributed to the decrease in work for Young, who this season has two carries for two yards and two catches for eight yards. While in Dallas, Callahan utilized a fullback, but he, like Gruden also liked the versatility that multiple-tight-end sets present. This season, Washington has utilized both two and three tight ends with frequency. This provides additional blockers on the edge, and receivers. Tight ends in Washington’s system at times motion into the backfield and serve as lead blockers for running backs, as the fullback would. But there’s not the same type of crossover for the fullback to the tight end position. “He’s more of an I-back, strong in the backfield type of guy,” Gruden said. “I’m sure he could do it, he’s a very athletic guy. Those tight ends are longer, taller, longer with length to handle outside linebackers and the blocks and all that. Not saying he can’t do it, and that’s something we could look at, but we haven’t asked him to do that. We like him as far as going downhill on linebackers or chipping off the defensive ends up to the next level. He’s pretty athletic, but as far as in the core, blocking guys right up on them, that’s pretty difficult for a fullback to do.” The de-emphasis of the fullback isn’t just a Redskins thing. It continues a trend around the NFL, according to Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith, whose team faces the Redskins this week. “With the tight end position, of course, that gives you flexibility based on who you have at that position, too,” Smith said. “You can use the tight end of course in situations where you would normally use a fullback, and it’s harder on the defense. If a defense sees a fullback in there, you pretty much know what types of formations you’re getting, but if it’s a tight end and that tight end can be lined up on the line of scrimmage, out as a wide receiver, in the backfield as a fullback, it really makes it hard on a defense. The fullback position is leaving to an extent, but I don’t think it’ll ever leave completely.” And the Redskins haven’t completely done away with the fullback. But Young primarily is used in short-yardage situations, and the occasional base formation. A fan favorite and ultimate “team guy,” Young has worked to remain positive despite his frustrations. He admitted that the reduced role sparked concern in his mind. But after talking to his coaches, he understands their philosophies, although he may not like them. “I’m always going to be a team guy. If we’re winning games, then I’m fine,” Young said. “Obviously, when we’re not winning games and not running the ball well, there’s always going to be questions out there. But their response to me when I asked them – because I was worried too; are they trying to get me out of here or whatever? – was ‘No. It’s the looks that we’re getting.’ ” “And it’s across the league now. You see two tight ends, three tight ends. You’ve got some teams who are sticklers to it, like Atlanta, and keep the fullback in. But, they said they’re going to put us in the best situations to win, and I have to go with that. Of course, I’m not going to be happy with that because I want to compete and I’m a competitor. But that’s my role. I’ve got to be happy with it, and special teams, I’ve got to do better with that, and do my best in practice to make the best of the situation.” Reed and Williams are both back at practice | Sunday is not their call Bog: Ryan Clark says Gruden should have protected RGIII like Cousins Opening Kick: Cousins seeks a bounce-back game … for a fourth time Gruden’s “Code Red:” Bad word choice, or just keeping it real?

answer:Once a big part of Washington's team, fullback Darrel Young is playing less this season. This is because the coaches are using lots of multiple-tight-end sets. Young used to play in 25-33% of Washington's plays, but this year he only plays in about 8% of them. The head coach, Jay Gruden, said they might use Young more in the future, but they probably won't go back to how things were. Young understands the coaches' choices and tries to stay positive, even though he would like to play more.
question:In 1982, King was 38 years old and the twelfth-seed at Wimbledon. In her third round match with Tanya Harford of South Africa, King was down 7-5, 5-4 (40-0) before saving three match points to win the second set 7-6(2) and then the third set 6-3. King said in her post-match press conference, "I can't recall the previous time I have been so close to defeat and won. When I was down 4-5 and love-40, I told myself, 'You have been here 21 years, so use that experience and hang on.'" In the fourth round, King upset sixth-seeded Australian Wendy Turnbull in straight sets. King then upset third-seeded Tracy Austin in the quarterfinals 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 to become the oldest female semifinalist at Wimbledon since Dorothea Douglass Lambert Chambers in 1920. This was King's first career victory over Austin after five defeats and reversed the result of their 1979 Wimbledon quarterfinal. King said in her post-match press conference, "Today, I looked at the scoreboard when I was 2-0 in the third set and the '2' seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. In 1979, when I was up 2-0 at the same stage, I was tired and didn't have anything left. But today I felt so much better and was great mentally." Two days later in the semifinals, which was King's 250th career match at Wimbledon in singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, the second-seeded Chris Evert defeated King on her fifth match point 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3. King was down a set and 2-1 in the second set before winning five consecutive games to even the match. King explained that she actually lost the match in the first set by failing to convert break points at 15-40 in the second and fourth games. She reached the semifinals in her final appearance at Wimbledon, losing to Andrea Jaeger 6-1, 6-1 after beating Kathy Jordan in the quarterfinals, seventh-seeded Wendy Turnbull in the fourth round, and Rosemary Casals, her longtime doubles partner, in the third round. Jaeger claims that she was highly motivated to defeat King because King had defeated Turnbull, a favorite of Jaeger's, and because King refused a towel from an attendant just before her match with Jaeger, explaining, "I'm not going to sweat in this match." King became the oldest WTA player to win a singles tournament when she won the Edgbaston Cup grass court tournament in Birmingham at 39 years, 7 months and 23 days after a straight-sets victory in the final against Alycia Moulton. The final official singles match of King's career was a second round loss to Catherine Tanvier at the 1983 Australian Open. Answer this question "Where else did she play tennis during that time?" by extracting the answer from the text above.
answer:During that time, King also played tennis at the Edgbaston Cup grass court tournament in Birmingham.
question:Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step. Can we conclude from "A woman with 5 shopping bags and polka dot shirt jumps above the snow." that "A woman who has been shopping jumps over a mound of snow."? Options: - yes - no - it is not possible to tell. Step-by-step reasoning:
answer:1. The statement mentions "a woman with 5 shopping bags and a polka dot shirt." This indicates that there is a woman with multiple shopping bags, implying that she has been shopping. 2. It also says that she "jumps above the snow." This suggests that she is performing a jumping action in a snowy environment. 3. While the statement does not explicitly mention a "mound" of snow, jumping above the snow implies that she is jumping over an area where snow is present. Therefore, we can conclude that "A woman who has been shopping jumps over a mound of snow." So, the answer is: - yes
question:How cloves and bay is classic for roast pork is the other spices well be described as a newer feature of the past year. Instead of sprinkling the roast and seasonings, I have chosen to make a marinade and spray into the – to better distributing the taste. Make this lower case
answer:In order to make the given paragraph lowercase, I'd take each letter in the text and convert it from uppercase to lowercase if applicable. Here is how the paragraph looks like in all lower case: "how cloves and bay is classic for roast pork is the other spices well be described as a newer feature of the past year. instead of sprinkling the roast and seasonings, i have chosen to make a marinade and spray into the – to better distributing the taste." Justification: Making a text lowercase means converting all uppercase letters (if any) to lowercase letters. There is no change in words or punctuation marks, only the case of the letters is changed. It's a task typically using a lower() function that automatically changes any uppercase letters to lowercase. In this case, the user wants the entire paragraph to be in lowercase to maintain a consistent style throughout the text.
