Damn i knew that crowd was going to be ramped up when they said they were opening the gates at 12pm ... I had a choice of flying back for either this game or the Eagles Monday Nite Football game .. as bad ass as that game was last night I predict that the Monday nighter vs Philly may be the #2 most buc nasty game of the year .. (crowd noise)

Landry, Hall, and Orakpo

I'm hoping for more of a Troy Polemalu top role for Landry, and he can catch the ball unlike Los.

I don't know if Landry's cover skills are on par with Troy's. I know Troy's an in the box safety but at the same time he does get a lot of picks, and at this point the Steelers rarely worry about putting him in deep zone coverage. Right now I think Landry is a better athlete thats on par with Polamalu's in the box play however the main difference between the two is the coverage and the ability to read offenses.

A slightly better comparison for Landry might be the player the Cowboys expected Roy Williams (the Safety) to become (not the guy they actually got). However I know that somewhere inside Landry is the ability to play deep zone coverage. We saw it back in 2007 when he replaced Taylor at FS, however since then it's regressed a lot. Maybe playing in this new scheme will help Landry regain his confidence and soon enough he'll be making picks.

I think he's still traumatized by the Brandon Jacobs play. That's why he's always going for the BOOM! play instead of cooling if off just a bit.

McIntosh played very well too. Allen better re-sign him quick.

That bad knee is still there, though. I would rather see Carlos or McNabb extended before Rocky.

Yeah they came through our interior like crazy. Portis definitely shows up to block, hurls his body.

Mike Sellers get a "you better get your shit together ball" because he is sucking, and not as good as he used to be, especially receiving the ball.
