The Trenches

[NBT]

The thing I remember hearing from last year's TC on Bulman was that he had thighs like young tree trunks. If he also has the quickness to get off the ball and around the tackle, all to the good. We can always use someone like that who can also hold up against the run. If Bulman can cut it as a first and second down DE, that might spell fini for Weaver now that we have signed Colvin to do the passrushing.

Now to Richard Smith's (Kubiak's) defense. I like the excitement generated by a blitzing pass rush too. It makes for a more entertaining game, if the D can get to the passer. However, Kubiak has been conservative in spades with how he wants just the front four to rush. Maybe this year with the better overall defense, he will let up a little and let the D blitz a little more. I hope so.
