He's been facing a blitzing defense every day in training camp. Yes, it is only practice, but 90% of a lineman successfully handling a blitz is knowing which guy to lay the mitts on. Coming out of the half on the live coverage last week they focused on the left side of the line. Showed them handling blitzes and stunts (which have been killing us the last couple of years) pretty well. Yes, we'll see...but I've seen a lot worse pre-season performance out of the O-Line (which turned into near disastrous results once the season started).

Darien Lake is Pembroke exit, 48A. Leroy is Exit 47, two exits East. It is an alternate exit for DL for Westbound traffic. I think I heard that the problem was that the Jell-O museum was selling nickel Jell-O shots.

Oh, that's right, you're Enzyte Man.

He is dreamy, isn't he?

I thought he was a fag. Sorry, guess I didn't get the memo.

More obvious if you saw it rather than reading it...

Yeah, I think I remember seeing him say that post-game, and he was definitely joking. Basically indicating that the linemen only had X number of run blocks per game, and everytime JP ran he was "stealing" one of those run blocks. A lot of levity on that team. During JP's conference, his comment on the TD he ran in was that he was ready to throw to Campbell, but Campbell was "too slow" turning his head, so he ran it in...

There were two throwaways, one toward the sideline, one into the end zone seats.

From another thread:

With room to spare!

Refs found out where we hid the hankies during halftime I guess...

You can add two throwaways to that... I'm concerned about how far he'll drop back to try to avoid a sack. One almost cost us a safety (though he may have seen the flag). Overall, Captain Kangaroo played better than his QB stats. He'll never be Aaron Brooks with that YPA but part of it is the team seems to be keeping to a fairly short throwing game. Longest "real" pass was the flea flicker...While not all the runs were entirely necessitated by pressure, it could have been due to a combination of pressure, coverage and an opening to run.

Gotta give the fans something to entertain themselves with...it's still the Cards after all...

I believe the "modified pat down" includes a reach-around.

Yeah, I forgot to mention Fredonia didn't even have a football team so they set up goal posts on a soccer field.... no "Experience," nothing. Spartan. It was a "practice that happened to be open to the public," and if you wanted autographs you'd try to catch the players as they came out of the main athletic hall...if they came out the front entrance...

The whole thing (general) is twobillsdrive. It's just that some people have set up divisions to play with friends/family. You're more than welcome in the WNYTBDGPS division...

From what I recall, Fredonia was very low key...they went there to "get away from it all." Crowds were relatively sparse...Funny...I went to college down there but the only time I went to camp was after I left school....there might have been 200 people there when I went...might have been only 100...it only felt like a lot of people at autograph time...

You hockey-board modding punk! You almost got away with it.

Yeah, I say smack down the vanilla offenses with blitz-mania...send a message to the league. You, of all people, know the importance of psychology in the trenches...they will be better just from the footsteps the QB's will hear in preparation of them... Maybe I'm exaggarating the effectiveness, but heck, this defense should impose fear...I'm just hoping they carry it through a full 4 quarters this year...

Do you mean This guy?

Buffalo doesn't hold a monopoly on idiots in the sports reporting world I guess.... Scrimmages have a lot of things negotiated in them. It's a two-team practice, not a real game. If Green Bay didn't want so much blitzing, they could have worked it out with the Bills before-hand. They didn't, so they got what our defense does.

Unless of course you take a two week vacation. On many weekends many of the favorites win. On some of them the underdogs rally. You pick by looking at scouting and injury reports, someone else picks based on the colors of the teams. If those people do better than you in a given week should we not be allowed to pick based on colors, because that person isn't putting the "thought" into it that you are? Will someone who manually just picks the favorites every week have an unfair "advantage?" If that's how someone wants to play the game, why not allow an automatic means to do it? It's not like the computer is able to look up the final scores of this coming weekend's game, it's not doing voodoo algebra, it's simply picking either the favorites, 'dogs, home or away teams based on your preferences... I work out my "schemes" too. Sometimes they work, most of the time they crap out. Sometimes I think "well, I could have just picked the favorites and done better." Oh, well, I didn't. It's not someone else's fault that they did just have the computer pick the favorites, it's my fault for having a crappy "scheme". Oh, well...on to the next "scheme."

Yup, if you go to a division's page (click on "Divisions" then select one from the list), there should be a "join this division" link. You might actually be able to "jump" divisions, but you can only be in one division at a time.

The WNYTBDGPS division will run again this year. Same prize (last year's winner just received his today!). Being in a division does not preclude you from winning the grand prize in the "General" (no) division. By default, everyone is in the "general" division. You can join/make whatever divisions you want, but I believe you can only be in one, correct Scott?

If you are drawing the tornadoes toward you, that means you are drawing them away from me...
