JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Mike Perkins has spent countless hours filming Jacksonville Jaguars practices from a scissor lift about 50 feet in the air.It was uncomfortable, even downright scary, at times. Strong wind, sideways rain, nearby lightning, Perkins has experienced all of it.So when Perkins, the teams director of football technology, had the opportunity to move away from the sometimes-dangerous lifts for good, he didnt hesitate.Now, the Jags are one of at least 10 NFL teams that have partially or completely eliminated scissor lifts and switched to mobile mast cams, which have high-definition cameras atop high-reaching poles and are controlled remotely from the ground.The stations look like the front of a boat, including comfy bench seats, and have protective canopies, color monitors and the capability to run for several days on a single charge.The biggest thing was the liability, said Perkins, who spent 18 years as Jacksonvilles video director. Every day you worry, at least from my standpoint. You worry about bad weather. You worry about something happening. And then the whole thing at Notre Dame, that really hit home.A 20-year-old student was killed at Notre Dame in 2010 when the hydraulic scissor lift he was filming football practice on tumbled to the ground because of high wind. Less than an hour before his death, Sullivan tweeted about the terrifying weather conditions and wrote I guess Ive lived long enough.Several universities, including Notre Dame, stopped using the lifts in the wake of Declan Sullivans death. Florida and others built expensive, permanent towers around practice fields. The Gators spent nearly $700,000 to build six towers.NFL teams were slower to react.I cant believe it took this long, Perkins said.A company called 8K Solutions in Titusville, about two hours south of Jacksonville, has seemingly perfected the mast cams. The Jaguars used them at the Senior Bowl in January, where a number of other NFL teams took notice.Jacksonville purchased three units, which list around $75,000 each, and ditched their scissor lifts. Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Dallas, Houston, New England, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Tennessee also started using them.Were trying to go to the next level, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Its safety and convenience.The Falcons switched to mast cams right before training camp. Tampa Bay is the latest NFL team to try them out. The Jaguars got the Buccaneers one unit in anticipation of two joint practices in Jacksonville this week. The Bucs will use them Wednesday and Thursday at Jacksonvilles practice fields.You can throw them on the back of a trailer and take them to a high school or move them anywhere on the field, Perkins said. You can do just about anything with them. Our guys, we love them. Theyre different if youre used to shooting a camera. But I could literally put my 9-year-old in one and he could learn it faster than I could because all these kids are gamers and its literally a video game.Its a robotic camera with a control board and a joystick.For now, the Jaguars are still shooting practice video on digital memory cards and then uploading them inside the football facility. When they begin construction on an indoor practice facility, which is scheduled to be completed in 2017, they will have cables running from the video room to select spots around the indoor facility and around the teams three outdoor practice fields.Youll just take the trailer, hook it up and have live feeds in the video room, Perkins said. Well be controlling the camera from inside, so there wont be any video people on the field. The big thing is the liability from being in the lifts is gone. By next year, Id be shocked if every teams not using them.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max Wholesale Uk . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.

Lightweight world titlist Terry Flanagan will defend his belt against Orlando Cruz in a late addition to promoter Frank Warrens card on Nov. 26 at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales, Warren announced Thursday.Flanagan (31-0, 12 KOs), a 27-year-old southpaw from England, will make his fourth title defense and fight for the third time this year. He will be boxing in Cardiff for the second consecutive fight. He won a shutout decision against former junior lightweight world titlist Mzonke Fana on July 16 but was not pleased with his performance.Im excited to get out there again and put in a big performance before getting the blockbuster fights that Frank has promised me next year, Flanagan said. Last time I fought in Cardiff, I wasnt happy with how I boxed, so it will be good to show the Welsh fans that Im a lot better than I showed against Fana.Also a southpaw, Puerto Ricos Cruz (25-4-1, 13 KOs), 35, is boxings first openly gay fighter. He is moving up from the junior lightweight division less than two months after notching a seventh-round knockout of Gabino Cota on Oct. 7.The fight with Flanagan will be Cruzs second opportunity to win a world title. In 2013, OOrlando Salido knocked him out in the seventh round in a vacant featherweight title fight in Las Vegas.dddddddddddd.Flanagan is hoping to win and move on to face bigger names next year.Franks delivered everything he promised. He got me a British title, a WBO European title and a WBO world title, Flanagan said. I got the opportunity to defend it in my own town [Manchester] and then defend it in someone elses backyard. I know Im the best lightweight in the division, and Im looking to get these big fights to prove it.Still, Flanagan said he is not going to downplay Cruz, who has won five fights in a row.I do what I need to get the win, but if I feel the stoppage is there, Ill go for it, Flanagan said. Cruz is a strong fighter and very dangerous and more than capable of causing an upset.Im out to prove a point and show everyone that Im world-class. [Jorge] Linares is seen as No. 1 in the division after beating [Anthony] Crolla, and it would be good to get that fight and do something that Crolla couldnt do to prove Im the best around. ' ' '
