Hell, I had him going to the Steelers in my mocks.  Everytime they picked I got real nervous.

So glad your mocks were wrong. 

Would have sucked seeing him chase Andy around.

All so true, should be tough on every team we play here on out.

If we didn't have Marv as our HC i say we beat Pitt next game and do it handily even with the refs on their side.

Exactly why i loved hearing what Paulie G said about not necessarily drafting tall guys anymore.

All that matters is if they can get home. Lawson can on anyone it seems and Willis will come around.

Got his first sack of many against the Bills. I thought i would love this Defense this year, they are not disappointing.

Matter of fact might be better than i expected.

None of the other, more experienced guys want to get shown up a by 4th round rookie.  Look at Dunlap, MJ, Geno, etc.  They are playing lights out as well.  

Next step?  More INTs from the secondary from that pressure.  Iloka's INT to seal the game was just the beginning. 

Yes, expecting lots of picks as the year goes on with this pass rush...

All the good to great pass rushers have tape on them. The just get it done somehow, someway!

MJ as a DE was pretty strictly run defense at his size and speed. As a DT he is proving to be something of a mismatch for Guards and as such is helping the DL get penetration.

We all saw it in the 3rd preseason game, Paulie G knows what he is doing and Burney.

Too quick for Guards and Centers but the upper body strength to get it done with MJ.
