Forward Progress

Scouting Zebras Here's a link scouting Ed Hochuli before a Pittsburgh game in last year's playoffs. Hochuli's crew throws a lot of flags, especially pass interference (both offensive and defensive) and roughing the passer. We can expect to hear a lot from |Hochuli on Sunday.

I'm feeling pretty good about this trade right now, since we picked up Hairston with our 4th round pick from the Seagulls. Hairston has looked pretty good when he's been able to play. Let's see if Nix can do it again with the pick from the Evans trade.

Another factor is that our switch from the Tampa 2 Defence (made up of smaller & faster defenders) to this year's 3-4 defence with bigger linebackers is affecting our coverage teams. I agree with Dan that building a stronger offence and defence is much more important than special teams. I am willing to relinquish our title of the best special teams team if we can score on offence and make more stops on defence.
