FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - The Atlanta Falcons are facing a dramatic overhaul on their offensive line after announcing Tuesday that injuries have ended the seasons for centre Joe Hawley and right tackle Lamar Holmes.Atlantas defence also took a big hit as safety William Moore will miss at least eight weeks with a shoulder injury.Hawley (right knee) and Holmes (foot) were placed on injured reserve. Moore was placed on injured return-designated to return. He can begin practicing in six weeks and will be eligible to return on Nov. 30 against the Cardinals.The three starters were hurt in Sundays 41-28 loss at Minnesota. The moves left Atlanta with serious holes to fill before this weeks game at the New York Giants.This is a no-blink mentality, said coach Mike Smith. You just move on and keep working.Atlanta now has lost three starting offensive linemen this year. Left tackle Sam Baker and backup lineman Mike Johnson had season-ending injuries before the season.Left guard Justin Blalock left Sundays game with a back injury. He returned to the sideline after being taken to the locker room. The Falcons provided no update Blalocks status on Tuesday.The injuries to three linemen forced tight end Levine Toilolo to finish the game at right tackle.You usually only dress seven in a game and to lose three, thats the first time in my career weve had to finish with a tight end playing tackle, said offensive co-ordinator Dirk Koetter. You definitely have some adjustments to be made.Koetter said Peter Konz will move up as the starting centre and Gabe Carimi will take over at right tackle. If Blalock cant play this week, Carimi could move to left guard and Ryan Schraeder would be the fill-in starter at right tackle.We feel like we had good depth in our offensive line, Koetter said. Now weve lost three or four guys who were experienced players for us. It will definitely be a challenge but we feel like these guys are up to the challenge.Moore, a 2012 Pro Bowl selection, is a leader in the secondary who had a key forced fumble in overtime of the Falcons opening win over New Orleans.Kemal Ishmael, who had an interception return for a touchdown against Tampa Bay, is the likely replacement for Moore.Moores injury takes another leader away from the defence.

Harvick, in his first season as driver of the No. 4 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing, grabbed the pole for Sundays 400-mile race at Kansas after posting a lap at 197.621 mph in the third and final round of knockout qualifying. He set a new track qualifying record at this 1.5-mile racetrack when he turned a lap at 197.773 mph during the second round. It was the 20th time this season that a new track qualifying record has been set in NASCARs premier series. Harvick has surpassed a previous track record six times in 2014 -- Texas, Michigan, Indianapolis, Bristol and both Kansas races. One year ago when he drove for Richard Childress Racing, Harvick won the Chase race at Kansas after starting on the pole and leading the most laps with 138. When the series most recently competed here in May, the first night race at this track, he started on the pole and led the most laps with 119 but finished second to Jeff Gordon. For whatever reason, this fits everything that I have going on with my driving style, Harvick said. But in the end, its all about having fast cars. Last year, we had a fast car, and this year, we have had a fast car as well. So just have to thank everybody on my Budweiser (sponsor) team for staying focused, continuing to build better race cars and controlling all the things that we can control. Our cars are fast, we are qualifying well, our pit stops are good, cars are reliable and everything is good. We just need a little bit of good luck to go with it. Its just like I keep telling these guys - that stuff will all come fulll circle and hopefully it does it at the right time this year.dddddddddddd Harvick has two wins in Sprint Cup this season but has not been to victory lane in the series since April 12 at Darlington (21 races ago). I just feel like with a little bit of good luck we can beat every car here, every week, at any style racetrack, he said. Everything is there. Its just a matter of having everything come together on the luck side. Well just keep plugging away. While Harvick claimed his 14th career pole in Cup, Johnson qualified 32nd, which matched his worst starting position in a race this season. Making his second lap in the first qualifying round, Johnsons car spun out in turn 2. He did not make contact with anything. Brian Vickers, who is not in the Chase, will start on the front row for the first time this season after qualifying second at 196.307 mph. Wow, that was a fun lap, Vickers said. Aric Almirola, who was eliminated from the Chase last weekend at Dover, qualified third, matching his best starting spot of the season. Joey Logano grabbed the fourth position, followed by Jeff Gordon, who leads all drivers with three victories at Kansas. Im happy with where we ended up, Gordon said. A top-five, you have to be happy with that starting position. Qualifying sixth through 12th were: Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. Logano, Gordon, Keselowski, Busch, Earnhardt, Kahne and Edwards remain in the Chase. Kansas is the first of three races in round 2 of the playoffs, known as the Contender Round. The other Chase drivers and their starting positions are: Ryan Newman (17th), Denny Hamlin (25th) and Matt Kenseth (27th). All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the starting field for Sundays race. ' ' '
