    Just got home from Pittsburgh

    I would be shocked if this was true. I would guess that regardless of age the Steelers crush the Penguins in popularity. I know Crosby has an enormous effect on jersey sales but it can't be that big. Can it? I don't know but that would really suprise me. I'm not a hockey fan but didn't the Penguins have a scare of moving awhile back? I suppose Lebron is doing it in Cleveland.

    my roommate is from pittsburgh. He is definitely more of a pens fan then steelers. And I would agree that that is more the norm these days.

     

    I also have met several people from Buffalo here at Penn State and they are also more Sabres fans then Bills fans. Hockey is getting a young crowd involved these days. Its about time.

    On another note . . .

    Without anyone really talking about it, Mitchell has been playing out of his mind. He was all of the field tonight and has been for weeks now. He made THE two plays to beat San Diego. Tonight he was knocking down Quinn all night long.

     

    I cant wait for him to become the leader of this defense. Whitner is in there now and I know hes a great leader. But he doesn't have the swagger and veteran experience Mitchell brings to the table. When he takes over, we will see this kind of performance and better on a consistent basis from this defense.

    blocking scheme?

    I was just wondering what type of blocking scheme were running. I remember hearing that we had a zone blocking thing going but that with a huge line we were more apt to play man blocking. Are the Bills still using teh wrong type of blocking and do you think it will change during the bye considering there have been maybe two holes for lynch and jackson all year?

    How will the defense be this year?

    With the addition of Mitchell and Pozluzny at LB, I think we will be solid at that position. The secondary should have depth and should be solid as well.

     

    While I know everybody wants to think that Stroud is the cureall at DT, I am not so sure. I think he will be an improvement over Triplett if healthy, and McCargo and Johnson give us two solid DT's as well. Schobel is a very good, but not elite DE, and unless Ellis is a steal, we have little else of consequence at DE.

     

    What will ultimately decide the effectiveness of our defense is how long the offense forces them to be on the field.

    dude schobel is an elite DE. He made it to the probowler twice (once as an alternate but played i believe). He doesnt get the most production because he has to play alot of minutes and takes alot of double teams and gets little help from teh rest of the line except maybe mcargo on occasion.

     

    I think Stroud will be a big help if all he does is take double teams on every play and does nothing else. I would still think hes a huge help. And that will hopefully make the rest of our D look better with three what i think are excellent LBs with a lot of very capable depth, and a young but very athletic and what seems intelligent secondary.

     

    But i am every the optimist, so what do i know?

    lee has not proven himself to be the caliber played to deserve that much money. I think if at half way through the season hes on probowl pace, He'll get his money and extension. If not, he may not see the money. Either way, I think he incs an extension before the end of the season.
