Notes from the Ether

 

- I'm Still Langer and I approve this message.

 

- Can't help but be impressed by the poise and power Ben Roth has been playing with since he picked up the start. What I like most about his play is the he has such quick lateral movement, it's almost Flash like in how he steps out of the way of the rush end. For him to do this with such little experience behind center in the NFL is truly remarkable. Think about how many veteran QBs can't do that. Like Vick, he is very elusive but unlike Vick he is an actual quarterback and not a glorified halfback.

 

- If anyone reading this has play UT, what Ben does is like what the translocator does. It appears that way on the tube.

 

- Tommy Who?

 

- There's something that bothers me about Ben. When under center, he has a tendency, and I noticed this on almost every play, to wiggle and shimmy, he is going to get called for a false start sometime, or an observant DC will pick up on it and have his guys key on it. It's not like Rich Gannon's hard count, it's as if he's not aware that he's doing it. So where's the QB coach?

 

- My alma mater Upper St. Clair crushed Bethel Park last week...shades of USC's Quad A dominance from back in the 80's. Right Mill? :o)

����������� Bethel falls to USC

 

- There's a file sharing program called Bit Torrent that allows trading of large files. As a big fan of music and especially rare live bootlegs, it's been a godsend. I have been scouring the web for links to Stiller torrents but haven�t been able to find any. If anyone knows of traded games, drop me a line at mailto:mvlang@gmail.com. Thanks!

 

- A lot of people rag on Big Casey, but I still think he's a force in the middle but the blocking schemes he's faced with are almost impossible to fight through. This is why no one uses the 3-4 anymore.That said, I had a dream the other night that the Stillers changed to the 4-3 this week. For productivity's sake, I hope so.

 

- I have a feeling Garsssia is going to be holding his facemask in pain once again this week, my prediction is a Stiller win 24-14.
