Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration Major Guide for 2009-2010
What is Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
Soil Scientists are trained to understand natural resources and their management, including soil and water conservation issues, land use concerns, waste disposal, and reclamation of disturbed lands. The Soil Science Concentration in the Environmental and Soil Sciences major is challenging, science-based and emphasizes soils and their long-term use and productivity. Surface and sub-surface water resources are an integral part of Soil Science as well. Students learn to evaluate soil characteristics in the field and lab, using industry-standard tests and techniques. They learn to survey, identify, classify, and map soils, and to predict the suitability of a soil for specific uses. Students in this program study basic natural sciences as well as applied areas such as ecology, soil sciences, and natural resource policy. Students also build expertise with modern technologies such as geographical information systems, global positioning systems, and computer applications in natural resource management.
Career Opportunities in Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
As a Soil Scientist, you can choose from a wide range of job opportunities that take you into the field, laboratory, or office. Federal, State, and local governments employ 13 percent of all soil scientists. Many soil scientists work at consulting firms, helping businesses and landowners manage their natural resources. Soil Scientists also write risk assessments and technical proposals, describing the likely effects of construction and other environmental changes. Examples of potential careers include: reclaiming contaminated sites to comply with environmental regulations; designing and monitoring landfills; analyzing and protecting rural or urban water supplies; working in a university or industry setting such as a soil and environmental specialist or scientist; private consulting in environmental and agricultural areas; and working with non-governmental organizations. Graduates also have the theoretical training necessary for attaining advanced degrees in a variety of natural resource-related fields or law school. Our students take core physical and biological sciences, math, plant and soil classes that lead to certification as a soil scientist, a professional requirement in many agencies and companies.
Salary Trends in Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
Median annual earnings of soil scientists were $56,080 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $42,410 and $72,020. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $33,650, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $93,460.
High School Preparation
Successful Soil Science students typically have a good high school background in math, physics, biology, earth science, and chemistry. This background will enable you to more easily begin your college work. Also, if you are able to earn advanced placement credit in some of these areas, you may have additional options later in your degree program. These could include taking specialized courses that interest you, working in a lab, or contributing to a research project and thus providing valuable experience and improving your employment opportunities.
Freshman admission to the program follows the general requirements of the University. Admission chances are enhanced by high ACT/SAT scores and a solid high school transcript.
Transfer Student Preparation
The transfer students that do best in Soil Science come in with a strong background in the physical and biological science, and math, having done well in the equivalent of Chemistry I, Geology, Biology I, and pre-calculus. Having most of the general education core completed is recommended. In addition, transfer students from community colleges do best at UT when they have completed 60 credit hours at the community college.
How to Major in Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
The Soil Science concentration is housed in the Biosystems Engineering & Soil Science Department under the Environmental and Soil Science major. Our faculty and students enjoy talking with prospective students. A faculty member (or a student, if you prefer) will be happy to guide you through our labs and answer your questions about the department, major, and career opportunities.
It is important to choose your desired concentration early (preferably at or before enrollment), to avoid having to make up specific required courses. There are provisions for elective courses to be taken in specific subject areas at various stages of your degree program. Students consult with their advisors each semester about their interests and the appropriate classes to meet the students' needs.
Requirements for Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
During the freshman year, the Soil Science Concentration emphasizes foundational physical and biological sciences, writing skills and necessary math. The sophomore year includes science, as well as computer applications, economics, statistics, and some introductory core courses.
In the junior and senior years, the Soil Science Concentration directs students into a variety of core courses that emphasize soil and plant sciences. The Soil Science Concentration shares many courses with the Environmental Science Concentration, but focuses more intensely on the formation, biology, chemistry, and physics of soils.
Directed technical electives allow students to focus on an area of interest. This focus introduces students to natural resource problems and their management, including:
• Soil and water conservation issues
• Land use problems
• Waste disposal, and
• Reclamation of disturbed lands
Other areas of interest can be pursued through the appropriate selection of technical electives.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
An internship is a structured 10-12 week work session, usually in the summer, in which you apply what you have learned in the classroom to real-life problems, while being mentored by a trained professional. Students are employed in paid full-time positions by industry, business, and government organizations, providing valuable experience and a competitive salary. The Environmental and Soil Sciences program encourages all students to intern while in college. Can you see yourself helping with a site reclamation project, working in a soil testing lab, or doing field measurements for the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service? Many of our students work as summer interns in the Student Conservation Corps, where they get to live and work in a spectacular national park.
Highlights of Environmental and Soil Science - Soil Science Concentration
Here are some additional reasons to consider Soil Science at UT:
- An excellent student:professor ratio. This means more one-to-one time with professors for academic counseling and assistance with coursework. Graduates consistently rank our outstanding, caring faculty as one of our strengths.
- Training in delivering presentations -- through seminars, poster sessions, papers, and attendance at professional meetings.
- Excellent scholarship support. Our students are eligible for scholarship money from both the University and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
- An active student Plant, Soil and Environmental Science club with numerous fun and civic activities.
- The chance to participate in Soil Vols, our soil judging team.
Ready for the World
In addition to providing its graduates with a skill set and academic preparation that are needed around the world, Soil Science takes an international perspective in both its research and educational missions. Departmental researchers have recently worked in or cooperated with researchers from countries ranging from Australia to Zambia, with countries in-between including Taiwan, Vietnam, Brazil, Ecuador, and many others. Students have spent semesters abroad in countries from Sweden to Malta to South Africa, and have traveled with College trips to Thailand, Mexico, and Jamaica. Finally, our student body includes students from Senegal, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, China, Colombia, and other countries. CASNR does offer some scholarships for CASNR students participating in study abroad programs. Students, faculty and staff participate in the annual Unity through Diversity Dinner held each fall. Some students select a minor in Modern Foreign Languages and Literature. Soil Science is not only ready for the world; it sees its mission as meeting needs throughout the world.

Troth Yeddha' Initiative
Learn more about Troth Yeddha' and show your support.
UAF ridge now carries Troth Yeddha' name
The ridge along which the University of Alaska Fairbanks is built now officially carries the name Troth Yeddha', or Indian Potato Ridge.
The name was approved Feb. 14, 2013, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The ridge previously had no official name. [link to official GNIS entry]
Troth Yeddha' wins commission's approval
On November 26, 2012, the Alaska Historical Commission, which reviews proposals to name physical features in the state, voted unanimously to approve Troth Yeddha' as the name for the ridge on the UAF campus. It has had no official name up to now.
Troth Yeddha' Run for the Park
The inaugural Troth Yeddha' 5k Run for the Park was held September 22, 2012. See the race followup on the TalkingAlaska blog.
About the name Troth Yeddha'
Robert Charlie discusses the significance of the name Troth Yeddha' (Oct 2011)
The land now occupied by the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus was called Troth Yeddha' (sometimes spelled Troth Yedda' or Troth Yeddh) by the Lower Tanana Athabascans. Lower Tanana is the indigenous language of the Lower Tanana Valley, spoken east-to-west from Moose Creek Bluff (past North Pole) to Baker Creek/Zitziana River. Some of the main Lower Tanana village sites are Chena Village (Ch'eno' Khwdochaget), Nenana (Toghotili), Old Minto (Menhti Khwghotthit), and Toklat (Tu Tl'ot Khwdochaget).
The word troth refers to the plant known in English as "Indian potato", "wild potato", or "wild carrot" (Hedysarum alpinum). The word yeddha' means "its ridge, its hill." Linguistically, it can be analyzed as the word yetth "ridge" plus the possessive suffix -a' (the change from tth to ddh in the possessed form is part of a regular phonological process). Thus the name Troth Yeddha' can be literally translated into English as "Wild Potato Ridge." The apostrophe at the end of the word yeddha' is a meaningful symbol that represents a glottal stop in the Tanana language.
Other areas now on and around the UAF campus also have original Athabascan names. Some examples include:
- Ch'eno' Chena River
- Sresr Ddhela' Ester Dome (literally: 'black bear mountain')
- Tr'ekhwghodegi Troth Yeddha' Bena' Smith Lake
(literally: 'upper wild potato ridge lake')
- Tr'ekhwghotthidi Troth Yeddha' Bena' Ballaine Lake
(literally: 'lower wild potato ridge lake')
Various archaeological, linguistic, and oral history records indicate the importance of Troth Yeddha' to the Athabascan people. There is evidence of small a settlement at Troth Yeddha' prior to the 1840s. Troth can still be found in steam beds and flood plains between the university and the Tanana River. The roots of troth are the most important vegetable food for the Alaska Athabascans.
A description of troth harvesting by the Chena people, very likely in the lowlands south of Troth Yeddha', was given by Laura Anderson, the last Chena speaker, in her classic woman's narrative According to Mama (1956:14, reprinted in 2011 by St. Matthews Episcopal Church):
Sometimes women went poking a long pole in the ground all over. When the ground felt just right there was a mice nest. This nest they dug up and there was a cache of Indian potato roots as big as a big basket sometimes. The women put this in a basket and ate it. The mice got nothing! This Indian potato root people dug, too, and buried it just in dirt. In the middle of winter it had turned just sweet and women peeled off the skin and cooked the white inside root. They would get bear grease boiling and then put the root in.
"Mama," was Helen David Charley (1862-1957). The fascinating factual summaries in the book are the earliest first-hand accounts of aboriginal life in the Fairbanks area.
The usage of troth is described by Father Jules Jetté in the Koyukon Athabaskan Dictionary:
The [troth] is good only during the winter, when the natives gather it, digging for it under the snow. It is then round and full, juicy and tender. After the thaw it loses its qualities, becomes hard, woody, and tasteless. It is also used as a substitute for tea or coffee. For this purpose, the root is sliced transversely in segments 1 to 2 inches long; these are divided longitudinally, by separating the fibers, and these are cut again across in small portions, which are afterwards dried and roasted in a frying pan. They are used as tea, in an infusion, and sometimes as a decoction. The beverage thus prepared is said to taste like chocolate. (Jones and Jetté 2000)

A Tanana Valley War Story
The name Troth Yeddha' features prominently in a story related by Hester Evan. In this important piece of oral history, Hester describes a raid on a small village at 'Indian Potato Hill'. This raid took place in about 1843; there were casualties, and there were three survivors. The story was recorded by James Kari on February 15, 2001, on the University of Alaska campus at the Troth Yeddha' site. Hester uses her own Toklat dialect, pronouncing the place name as Tsoł Teya', but it is nonetheless the same place. This story, powerfully told, clearly speaks to the long history of occupation of Tanana Valley by the Lower Tanana Athabascan peoples.
A transcript of Hester Evan's story can be downloaded here.

Red Card
02-17-2001, 05:18 PM #2mark440Firehouse.com Guest
The "Red Card" qualifications are S-130 & S-190 Standards for Survival. Try looking on the National Interagency Fire Center site, sorry I don't know what the site address is. NIFC is located in Boise Idaho. They coordinate Wildland for the Nation. E-mail someone there if you have questions. S-130/190 is about 60 hour course. SfS is a 8 hour course. All very benificail. Lots of opprotunities for Red Carded personell this summer. Also try contacting your local USFS or State Forest Service or BLM, BIA or any of the like.
Stay safe,
If in doubt - Call us out

Your state is located in the Eastern Region of the National Interagency Coordination Centers Areas. For a list of some of the scheduled classes in your region you can check out: http://www.na.fs.fed.us/firetraining...se_summary.htm
For others interested in locating training in their areas you can check on: http://www.fire.nps.gov/mats/matsframe.asp
or http://www.fire.nps.gov/firetraining/
Look under regions and find the state you are located in or next to. Then start checking the training schedules. Sometimes you may have to travel some distance or contact the regional office or your local state or federal forest office for classes, not all get posted on the web. You can also check with the National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Land Management, or the Fish and Wildlife Service for possible training classes. As Mark stated, you have to have the basic S-130 and S-190 classes to start. From that point you will need some Wildfire or Prescribed experiance to go much farther.
Good Luck

Adding to what has been already been told to you, get ready to carry 45 pounds, 3 miles in 45 minutes or less. This is called the "Pack Test". Start training now. Good luck.
02-18-2001, 02:01 PM #5Captain HickmanFirehouse.com Guest
Just to add a little to FFLEEMS post. If you want to know more about the Pack test: http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/safety/packtest.html
can give you a good understanding of what you will need to do and can expect.
02-18-2001, 04:04 PM #6newtonbFirehouse.com Guest
Thanks for the websites on the Pack Test. My husband is starting to train for the Pack Test and hopes to get his Red Card in a few months.
02-18-2001, 09:50 PM #7BratFirehouse.com Guest
The pack test is not as bad as it sounds. Our VFD is under contract with the BIA and we must meet the Feds standard. Some of our firefighters were going to quit because they thought they could not do the test. Most were surprised how well they did. I am 44 and 10 lbs over weight and do the test in under 42 min. I would recommend you train harder than I do, you'll feel better the next day. Also do not use a back-pack water pump for the 45 lb pack. Use a regular pack or the new vests filled with lead or sand, much easier. Remember the safety rules and stay alive.

I am a structural firefighter from SC, and I am soon to be taking the class to get my red card. But the question I have is how do I get in touch with Forestry to get my application in to come join you guys out west or wherever they choose to send me?
02-22-2001, 11:19 AM #9vanaheimFirehouse.com Guest
Like many young firefighters Im also looking into this aspect of fire fighting. In my area (Upstate NY)there are only paid depts in the larger citys and they don't hire often. This site is one of many Ive found and I think it is the most informative. http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fsjobs/fire-hire.html
"If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven for kindling the first fire upon earth, how ought all the Gods to honour the men who make it their professional business to put it out?"
02-23-2001, 08:18 PM #10CoyoteFirehouse.com Guest
In addition to what the others mentioned, some community colleges out west offer S-130/190 and Standards for Survival. Check your local CC that offers fire science courses and see if they have a basic wildland fire suppression course.

My dept is currently looking at getting some guys Red Card certified. However, no one seems to have ever even heard of the pack test. If we went to any fires we would be on brush trucks, not on foot, does that make a difference? Is there some way to get certified w/o taking any pack test at all? I am kinda confused and would appreciate any help. Thanks.
03-07-2001, 05:11 PM #12John_FordFirehouse.com Guest
Monster, It goes back to the old basics. It you can't reach it with the truck, whatta ya gonna do??
03-08-2001, 04:35 AM #13Smoke_N_FlamesFirehouse.com Guest
If you cant reach it with the truck...send in the smoke jumpers...
03-08-2001, 12:20 PM #14Captain HickmanFirehouse.com Guest
If your plan on working with the Federal Groups on one of their fires, they require you to have a certain amount of training, physical ability, and equipment to perform your assigned duty.
The best place I could direct you would be to contact your local forestry headquarters with the State or US Forest Service and check with them to see what they would require. Some states require less than the Federal Agencies. You can also go to: http://www.nwcg.gov/pms/docs/docs.htm
and download the file:
310-1 Wildland Fire & Prescribed Fire Qualification System Guide - 2000
This document is about a 117 pages long, but will give you the basic information on all the positions, needed training, and physical requirement for the position. The Feds have become more stringent on requirements for working on their fires for Safety Reasons. Again best bet is to check with Locals and start there.
Good Luck and be safe this year
03-08-2001, 01:56 PM #15Monstermudder78Firehouse.com Guest
Hey Captain, thanks for the link. As for John Ford and Smoke'n Flames, the fires we would go to are BRUSH fires. Not FOREST fires. The largest vegetation is sagebrush which gets up to 6 or 8 feet. That means that if you can't reach the fire, you just drive farther. If we were to go to any forest fires, we would only send engines for structure protection. We're not into runin through the forest an all that.
03-08-2001, 02:20 PM #16mark440Firehouse.com Guest
What if your truck gets stuck, breaks down, gets burned over, or rolls over... you will have to find alternate mode of travel. Most likely walking. If you are operating on an engine and get burned over you are going to be running. The engine will not save you. There have been many fatalities on what were "typical everyday brush fires". Don't think it won't happen to you! That is what everyone says. Please tell me that you all don't ride on the brush units as you drive through the flames to put the fire out. The pack test is not that bad. Everyone that operates on a wildland fire should be carded, pack tested and all. Just get it over with. Besides, if you go on a fire as a Type 1 Structure protection engine, you are still required to be Red Carded, AND pack tested.

Mark 440, It appears that you did not read all the posts. I disagree with some of what you said and would like to give you some more information.
"What if your truck gets stuck, breaks down, gets burned over, or rolls over... you will have to find alternate mode of travel. Most likely walking. If you are operating on an engine and get burned over you are going to be running. The engine will not save you."
Really? No kidding? I never said I didn't want to walk, or that I had a problem with walking did I? What I said in my first post was "My dept is currently looking at getting some guys Red Card certified. However, no one seems to have ever even heard of the pack test."
"Please tell me that you all don't ride on the brush units as you drive through the flames to put the fire out." You are right, we don't drive through the flames. What we do is come from behind the fire, in the black, with one guy driving and one guy riding in the cowcatcher putting out fire. The fuel around here burns fast, and then it's gone. 99.99999% of the time it won't burn twice. By staying in the black we can reduce the chance of being "burned over" to practically 0.
"The pack test is not that bad. Everyone that operates on a wildland fire should be carded, pack tested and all. Just get it over with. Besides, if you go on a fire as a Type 1 Structure protection engine, you are still required to be Red Carded, AND pack tested." This is the answer that I was looking for in the first place. I am in no way dreading the pack test. I was just curious why no one in this area had ever heard of it. I agree that everyone should be tested and I am looking forward to the class. Thank you.

Monster, I apolgize for coming off rude, not my intention. The pack test is still relatively new to the Wildland world. It comes about replacing the old, outdated, biased step-test. The step test was measured on stepping one foot up one foot down a 14" box. You were to pace yourself to a tape almost like a metronome. You were to walk this for a set period of time. At the end of such period you counted the testee's pulse rate. You then added the pulse, age, gender to a slide scale. If you scored (if I remember correctly) less then 45 points you passed. It was very unfair, and not accurate to the person in question. Then there was the 1.5 mile run in 12.5 or 13 minutes. This was still not as accurate as the pack test is. The pack test consists of a 45 lb pack (doesn't matter what you use to compile your 45) 3 mile walk (any terrain, just as long as 1 foot is in contact with the ground at a time, you cannot run or jog) in 45 minutes or less. This is a little more accurate in the judgement of ones physical condition. Various government agencies have temporarily suspended the pack test due to a few (less then 5) deaths during or after the pack test.
As for the potential for reburn; 2 firefighters were killed just south of Boise Idaho a couple years back in the black area they said would not reburn. Just food for thought. I must also add that in the NWCG (National Wildland Coordinating Group) S-130 & 190 that riding on apparatus is prohibited unless personell and equipment are separated. Fighting fire from the outside of a vehicle is not encouraged. Not saying you all are wrong, just that is what I was getting at. I have seen a lot of people in the U.S. drive through the fire to put it out. Quite frankly this scares me to death. Any number of thing could go wrong when doing this. Doing this just puts more danger to life and limb.
Stay safe,

Thanks for all the great information! While most of our fires are grass, we have seen an increase in timber and interzone fires. It would be nice if I could convince some of our staff about the need for some additional standards and requirements for our department. I purchased my own wildland PPE's last year. Command thought it was great that I would be the "TEST DUMMY" but still have not seen a "need" for everyone. We are about two months from our busy season, so we will see this year.
Stay Safe

Mark, no hard feelings. I am curious about the S-190 and 130 part. Are you familiar with using cowcatchers? I am not sure what you mean by firefighters and equipment must be seperated. Could you clarify this for me? Thanks.

Richard Gast, Cornell Ag Connection
— This has not been a particularly good year for vegetable gardeners. The weather has been temperamental, hot and dry early on with drought conditions throughout most of April and early May, then turning wet and cold in mid-May and remaining so through June and the first half of July.
In fact, it rained pretty much every day for six weeks straight, pouring, driving rain. Every shower was a deluge. And to make things worse, nights were often cool, limiting evaporation.
Standing water became common and many gardens remained saturated for prolonged periods. Plants suffered. When water stands or soil becomes saturated, oxygen becomes unavailable for uptake through the roots. Without sufficient oxygen, roots become damaged. Plants decline and may die. Gardeners refer to this condition as "wet feet."
One Franklin County Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteer has avoided such growing problems. She ranks among the prepared gardeners who were able to face the challenges. She is using properly constructed raised beds, plastic row covers and a hoop house (mini-greenhouse). Instead of lost plants and poor yields, her gardens are thriving.
She has agreed to open her gardens to the public and host a tour and open house. The event will feature discussions on growing, composting, drip irrigation and other subjects pertinent to successful vegetable gardening. Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions about starting a garden or improving an existing one, caring for your garden, good gardening practices and more.
It will be held at 1 p.m. Aug. 18. It is free, but donations to the Franklin County Master Gardener Program will be accepted. To register, call 483-7403 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Directions will be provided when you register.
Raised beds warm up quickly in spring. And, if properly constructed, dry out faster after a rain. In addition, they are designed so they can be covered to keep rain out.
Soil conditions can be more easily controlled. For starters, it's easier to begin with superior quality soil than it is to improve poor soil. You can fill newly-built raised bed structures with soil mixtures that have been amended to meet the needs of any crop. Better root growth from improved soils will result in higher yields and lush growth of ornamentals. As beds are built up, compost or other forms of organic matter can be mixed and used to further enhance soil structure.
By some estimates, the yield from raised beds can be two to three times greater. That's because they are just wide enough to allow a person to reach the center of the bed while working from the sides. You don't walk in the beds, so they don't require the usual space between rows. More plants can be grown in a comparable area.
Raised beds are low-maintenance, too. They keep plants organized and confine soil and debris within their borders.
Plastic tarps or row covers can help keep rain off plants and soil. (They can also be used to extend your growing season and deter pests and diseases.) And raised beds can be designed so they can be quickly covered with plastic film suspended over the beds on hoops made of plastic, metal, wire or wood and secured in place with soil, boards, pipes or similar materials.
The use of plastic covers requires careful management because temperatures can very quickly become much higher. Plastic covers should be removed, opened or lifted whenever possible to promote movement of air.
Hoop houses can also be used to protect plants from too much rain. They have also proven effective in extending the growing season.
Like raised beds, container gardens enable you to optimize your soil conditions. They can be easily moved under shelter (i.e. onto a porch) when there is too much rain. And I know of gardeners who have built small plastic tents they place over their containers for protection from the rain and cold.
The main thing to remember, when we have too much rain, is to try and keep the soil dry and additional rain off, if at all possible. If cool temperatures exist at the same time, covering your gardens with clear plastic to retain heat in the evening and to keep additional rain off will also help.

NEW ORLEANS -- 12/12/12 is now a birthday Kyron Summers will never forget. His mom and the administrators at St. Augustine school surprised him Wednesday.
"He asked if I was gonna bring cupcakes. I said no, I'm not bringing cupcakes or anything. It's not even in the budget this year," his mother, Chervonda Fortenberry, said.
Katie Moore asked, "What was his reaction?"
Fortenberry replied, "He looked like he wanted to cry."
Then, 12 seniors at the school started to make their way to Summers' sixth grade classroom to surprise him. With party horns blaring, and party hats on their heads, they burst into the classroom clapping, and began singing happy birthday to the 12-year-old.
"It's 12/12/12 at 12:12 with 12 12th graders singing happy birthday to the 12-year-old," said Father Tony Ricard, campus minister at St. Augustine High School.

There's been a bit of conversation circulating about the Steelers potential return men for the 2013 season.
It's always one of the most intriguing positions, yet, the least stable, on the team. There was the allure of Chris Rainey last year, which he sort of lived up to. He was one of the better kick returners in the NFL last season.
This year's version of that is Reggie Dunn, a guy who'd be a borderline miracle to make the team, yet, we talk about him frequently anyway.
Again, it's that intrigue behind one of the most exciting plays in all of sports, a kickoff or punt return touchdown. The trick is finding a guy who can do it at a high level while still holding down some value as depth at another position.
Guys in recent Steelers past rosters, like Allen Rossum and Stefan Logan in 2007 and 2009, respectively. The Steelers also won a Super Bowl with Gary Russell and Najeh Davenport returning kicks in 2008.
Is it feast or famine with Steelers' return men, or is there an understandable correlation between mediocre returners who also fill game day roles within the offense or defense?
The addition of LaRod Stephens-Howling to the roster seems a step at finding the elusive middle ground between those things. He might be able to compete for third down duties this year as well as contribute extensively on special teams. It could be the sign of the end for 2011 draft pick Baron Batch.
But if the Steelers are going to become a dynamic return team, something they really haven't been in some time, they will need a player who can contribute in both phases of the game.
Let that be a message, Mr. Dunn.

Having already seen the collection's pulp magazines and the comic books, I was next brought a milk crate filled with record albums. A long-time haunter of flea markets, I'd seen a thousand setups like this one. These crates always contain countless easy listening records, a copy or two of Frampton Comes Alive and, of course, Vaughn Meader's The First Family.
But no -- there was none of that! Instead, there were a number of albums ostensibly released by the famous jazz label, Blue Note. Yet the sleeves contained no records and probably, I suspected, since there was no ring wear on any of the jackets, never had. I am almost certain that most of these men didn't have alternate careers as jazz practitioners, so then what was the provenance of these album covers? Who had made them?
I asked the docent if they were the creations of Blue Note's legendary designer, Reid Miles, but he just shrugged. Were they commissioned by the collector? By the players? Did Miles do them for fun? We might never know, but here they are ...
Hank Aaron
Young Henry; before the long balls started piling up.
Elston Howard
What is the opposite accoutrement of shin guards, chest protector and face mask? That's right: a tuxedo.
Don Newcombe
Sonny Rollins' resemblance to the famed Dodgers' pitcher earned him the nickname "Newk", and led to an album called Newk's Time. A reciprocal title for Newcombe, therefore, might have been Rollin'.
The Ernie Banks Trio
Fittingly, the only player for whom there are two covers.
Bob Veale
While we may never know who made these, we do know the artist seems to have had an affinity for hard throwers.
Don Drysdale
It can be fun to try to figure out what instrument someone plays just by looking at them. Drysdale suggests baritone sax.
The Vada Pinson Quartet
On this cover, Pinson looks like he knows where the gold is buried. Or maybe he just found out he's been signed to Blue Note.
Willie Mays
Did Willie Mays need to play an instrument? No. His whole body was an instrument.
Leon Wagner
"And there was Daddy Wags blowing mad sackbut into the wee hours..."
Mudcat & McLain
Denny McLain would be on the organ, of course, but what about Mudcat Grant? Probably a hide-hitter.
The Luis Tiant Sextet
One gets the impression from this cover that Tiant has just finished his set and is sitting backstage, trying to cool off. Maybe Duke Sims is fanning him with an Indians yearbook.
Baseball Nation's Jason Brannon, who believes Hank Mobley's Soul Station remains the pinnacle of human civilization, was integral to this enterprise. Jim Baker's latest book is The Most Memorable Games in Patriots History. You can follow him on Twitter @jimbaker1066.

When Angelina Jolie decided to get a double mastectomy, she chose to get implants. But there's a new option for those interested in using their own tissue to reconstruct the breast.
It's all thanks to a breakthrough procedure, taking fat from one part of the body, and using it to replace breast tissue that's been removed.
"They look really natural. That's the part that's really amazing. I've ran in to somebody not too long ago, and they had no idea that I'd been through this," explains breast cancer survivor Michelle Hartog.
Michelle didn't get implants. Rather, her husband, a physician himself, offered his wife a new little-known option.
"This is about as close as we can come to replacing a breast," says Dr. Jeffrey Hartog. "I think this is becoming more and more a choice that may be at the top of the list."
Dr. Hartog just learned about the procedure: naturally reconstructing breasts, using a woman's own fat cells.
"The biggest instrument I use is a needle, so this is a scarless technique, no new scars. We basically do liposuction, then re-inject fat in the right way."
Instead of tossing the thick yellow fluid, it's processed and transformed into a desirable filler, which is re-injected into the body.
Surgeons add the fat a little at a time. Patients must make multiple visits, to get their desired shape and size.
"There are people that have come in here that want an immediate fix. And really, if you want a quick fix, this is definitely not the way to go," Michelle says.
"If you want a fix that is relatively complication-free and you don't spend a lot of time in the hospital, and you want to use your own tissue and not have an implant done -- then it's perfect."

Custom Post Problems - Wordpress Anthology book
Hi all - hope someone can help with this I have been beating my head against the wall for some time now.
I have used several references to figure out how to create a Custom Post Type, including chapter 4 of Wordpress Anthology. I can successfully create the Custom Post Type, I create the Archive template page, but I cannot figure out how to access the Archive or Single Post pages for them. Even when I just enter manually archive-(custom post name) nothing comes up.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Poured a clear straw color with a thinner but well sustained bone white head atop,a big shot of herbal/leafy hops really comes out during the pour,mild bready notes undereath.The palate doesn't have quite the assertive hoppiness with some grassy and lighter herbal notes,a firm bready malt base is nice.This is a very well made pilsner,I like the hoppy nose and firm bready malt flavors.Kind of an odd winter seasonal because this is something I would wanna drink while grilling or just hanging around outside.

12oz bottle, bottled on 1/12/12. Pours a clear yellow with a fluffy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet corny malts and some metallic, floral noble hops.
The flavor is sweet grainy malts with some vegetal notes. There's a good amount of bitterness in the finish from the noble hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little watery.
Overall, decent hops but very vegetal and sweet.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.
LOOK: Bright pale golden, three fingers of head
SMELL: Nutty, chalky, dried grass, doughy, herbal, lemon pith, mineral
TASTE: Biscuity, nutty, grassy, leafy, hop bitterness, yeast, clean, spicy, herbal, refreshingly dry
Very rustic tone to this beer yet it stays clean, the malt lashes out at the palate and the hops follow. I'd love to see this beer with some more late hop additions, regardless ... I dig this beer.

12 ounce bottle with "Bottled on" dating of Jan. 06 2012.
Pours super clear and light, moderate and fine white head, leaving minor bits of lace.
Grassy nose, with a whisper of smoke.
Light, moderatly crisp and quite easy drinking. More grassy notes, grainy hops, a touch of ripe fruit, lime and again a bit of smoke in the finish.
Nice, went well with some aged cheddar

The beer pours a very clear straw color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the pilsner malt with some grass and biscuit notes thrown in. The flavor is similar, with a ton of classic pilsner malt taste. There is also a little bit of grass and earth and a low to medium amount of bitterness. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass.
Appearance: Pale but bright gold with a firm white head and delicate lacing with tiny bubbles.
Smell: Floral, spicy Saaz is dominant with some apple and lightly toasted bread.
Taste: Lots of straw and bread, along with some apple and lemon. Strong floral notes from the Saaz. Very peppery finish. Not quite as well balanced as hoped.
Feel: Highly carbonated with a fairly, light crisp body. Very dry finish.
Overall: Tastes like a Czech Pils, but feels more like a German one. Interesting take overall, but a wee bit harsh.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams "Perfect Pint" glass. Bottling date of Dec 27, 2012.
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear yellowish golden orange with a lot of rising bubbles. Solid three fingers of white head with good retention. Leaves a good amount of lacing around the glass.
Smell: A crisp, grainy, and hoppy classic Pilsener aroma. Wheat grains and pale malts upfront with good hints of biscuit, hay, yeast, and toast. Solid hop presence with hints of herbal, earthy, and floral hops. Good hints of grass and citrus lemon and orange. Also a little herbal spicing. A nice balance of bready malts and spicy hops. Pretty traditional Pils aroma.
Taste: Follows the nose well, a bready and nicely hopped classic Pilsener taste. Big bready malt taste upfront with notes of wheat grains, biscuit, hay, yeast, and toast. Good Saaz hop balance with notes of grass and floral, earthy hops. Citrus taste of lemon and a little orange. Fairly spicy and musty tasting. A typical Pilsener taste that is well balanced. Pretty good.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Nicely crisp, dry, and smooth.
Overall: A pretty solid Pilsener. Its what you expect from the style. Solid balance.

Pours a slightly hazed golden hue with a bright white head forming thick, even bands of lacing left behind. I love a good pils, I hope this holds up the bottle mentions a full 5 weeks of lagering which hopefully brings some good results. Aroma earthy herbal citrus notes with a mild grassiness amongst a pale malt breadiness that just works. You may call it one dimensional but I think it's great. Flavor has adequate bitterness, fresh green hops a bit of sulfur/skunkiness going on but it's muted nicely an citrus lemony herbal grassiness. Pale malts provided a toasted biscuit sweetness that really works, finishes dry with each sip. Mouthfeel is crisp clean unadulterated good drinking lager, lighter bodied with sturdy carbonation. Overall a great American brewed version of a pils, I'm not used to see great ones coming out of Colorado or anywhere out west really. I'm spoiled living near PA where there seems to be a neverending supply of tasty lagers.

Big white head slowly settles into a pretty solid lacing above a clear golden colored beer.
Light sour lemon with some light soapiness and very light darker spices.
Bitterness with peppered spices with just a little bit of the sour lemon coming through in the taste.
Light bodied with a light dry to almost a light bitter dry aftertaste.
Nothing really jumps out and says drink more of this beer, so I think I'll have to pass on buying any more of it.

A winter pils? I don't see why not...
Poured into my pokal, Nomad immediately develops a thick, creamy pillow of pure white head over a clear brew precisely the elegant golden color I expect from a good pils. As it drops, the heavy island of foam that never dies spiderwebs heavy lacing to the very bottom of the glass.
Floral and unoffensively sulfuric notes along with grassiness speaks unquestionably of a healthy dose of Saaz hops. The aroma offers good balance with crisp dry malts as well. This beer is benchmark for the style and hoppier to boot.
A little more cracker, grain and biscuit showing off the malts come through in the flavor. Floral hops never fade. The grassy element pulls through and develops a ghost of a hay-like quality in the finish. While tasty and flavorful, it comes just short of what thr aroma boasts.
To style, Nomad is exactly as light as it should be and shows off some depth. It's plenty crisp and even has some smoothness. It's on the next level if not for just a bit of slickness.

3.71/5 rDev +2.2%
12oz bottle from Tipsy's Liquor World in west-side Denver.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow hue, with two fingers of puffy, foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random sudsy islet lace around the glass as it quickly dissolves.
It smells of crackery, biscuity pale malt, acrid lemon, dry hay, and herbal, grassy hops. The taste is more sharp, edgy, steely grainy pale malt, stale lemon rind, and complex earthy, leafy, grassy, and straw-like hops, which seem to grow in intensity as things warm up a bit.
The carbonation is tight and a tad fizzy, the body medium-light in weight, and as smooth as one can expect with all those hops milling about. It finishes rather dry, the straw and grassy hops predominating.
A none-too shabby go at the Czech Pilsener - they nailed the crispness, in malt and in hops - but the flavours seem too muddled and indistinct to have it run with the Bohemian greats - be they Old Word or not.

4.23/5 rDev +16.5%
Bottled on 1-12-12.
12 oz bottle served in a pint glass.
Nomad is a bright pale yellow color with perfect clarity. The head is thick and a pure white. Settles slowly and leaves a little lace.
Aroma is a blend of grassy hops and a clean pilsner yeast.
Flavor is crisp, clean, and nicely hopped. Very light in malt character which lets the grassy/spicy hops shine through.
Mouthfeel is light in body and nicely carbonated. Balance leans towards the hoppy for this pils but that's no bad thing in my opinion.
Overall a really nice hoppy pilsner that would make a great summer sipper. Makes me wonder why it came out in January but oh well. The weather is warm enough today to enjoy this beer.

Thread: USing JQuery to get form data

USing JQuery to get form data
Hey there,
I am using JQuery to get some form data. Here is the html:
<input name="test2" type="text" value="39" size="32" maxlength="20" value=""/>
Here is my Jquery.
var $inputs = $('#details :input'); var values = {}; $inputs.each(function() { values[this.name] = $(this).val(); }); $('#checkout').click(function() { $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'index.php?route=payment/check/confirm', data: {id:'test', id2:values['test1'], id3:values['test2'], id4:values['test3']}, success: function() { location = '<?php echo $continue; ?>'; } }); });
As you can see it uses Ajax to load another script and if successful, completes the transaction. However, it refuses to accept my manually input values. Is this because I haven't used a submit button? I haven't even declared a form action or method because I am using the onclick event handler and using Jquery to get everything from the form. This is not my design, it is the cms system I am working with.
Can anyone suggest a workaround?

why 18mp? what about video?
Well, I won't be buying a 18mpx full frame camera. Just not going to happen. I'm sure it'll be great for wedding photogs. It's going to be much less useful for studio, sports, and landscape shooters.
I've said before and I'll repeat. This makes very little sense to me.
I'm willing to bet that the other performance aspects of this camera are over the top and I'm fairly certain at least someone somewhere once took a good sports photo at 18MP.
why 18mp? what about video?

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was a mix of emotions today for the families of troops both coming home from service and for those being sent overseas.
Taneeshia Bellamy, 22, of Columbus, GA, was met by a screaming friend. It was Bellamy's last Thanksgiving at home before being deployed.
"I'm feeling like I just want to go and come back, place the mission first and foremost and get it done and make the Army proud," Bellamy said. "I'm thankful for my family, my church, most importantly I'm thankful that we stay in a country where freedom of speech is allowed. And I'm thankful for God as well."
Jonathan Smith, who will be sent to Alaska to serve in the Coast Guard, said this was his first Thanksgiving home with his Covington family in two years.
"I'm just thankful to get home to see my family, I haven't seen them in a little bit," Smith said. "Thankful to see my sister again. Thankful for everyone at the USO who comes out and helps us get home."
USO volunteers were on hand to help greet incoming soldiers and feed outgoing soldiers, like Marcus Johnson, who is from California.
"I'm thankful for my family and for the American people, really, that give us all the support," Johnson said. "This beautiful Thanksgiving spread is really the most beautiful thing. I'm really thankful for all the people that helped us out."

UMC elects new bishop
for Upper New York Area
SYRACUSE — The United Methodist Church has assigned a new resident bishop to the Upper New York Area.
Bishop Mark J. Webb begins his new assignment Saturday, Sept. 1. This is his first episcopal appointment; he was elected to the episcopal office during the 2012 Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference, which took place July 18 to 20 in Charleston, W.Va.

Mandarin Pork Recipe
I often serve this pork with fried rice and Chinese-style vegetables. It also makes a great appetizer by itself. Folks have fun dipping the nuggets into the two homemade sauces.
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 pork tenderloins (3/4 to 1 pound each)
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon diced pimientos
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- Dash salt
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Combine the first six ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag; add pork and turn to coat. Seal bag; refrigerate overnight, turning meat several times.
- Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a bowl; cover and chill. In another bowl, stir boiling water into mustard; add salt and stir until smooth. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour; chill.
- Discard marinade from meat. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 18-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°-170°, turning occasionally. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with sauce and mustard for dipping. Yield: 6-8 servings.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's top elected officials will join members of the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in honor of the civil rights icon's birthday.
Gov. Nathan Deal, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and House Speaker David Ralston are expected to deliver remarks. King's actual birthday is Jan. 15.
The Georgia native, who was born in Atlanta, would have been 83 years old.

Salomon's medium flex, freestyle mainstay just gave the stout footed something to talk about.
We need to talk about your giant feet. Sure you huck tweaky grabs and slow-mo rotations anywhere there's snow but your clunky, wide boots are a drag. Salomon Men's Dialogue Wide Snowboard Boot trades the overbuilt, moon-boot design of typical wide boots for freestyle tech and natural comfort.
Salomon's ZoneLock closure puts separates speed-lace system in two zones: the forefoot and the calf. Now you can accommodate your extra wide hoofs and still have a snug fit around your calves for control and responds on the steeps, or you can cinch up your stout paws and keep the calves loose for buttery laps through the jib garden. Combine the dual-zone lacing with the medium flex and you have a highly adaptable boot that transforms the whole resort into a freestyle playground.
The Balance Level 2 liner uses strategically placed, heat-moldable Custom Fit foam to eliminate excess material and wraps the crucial areas of your foot, heel and shin in an individualized, cushy cocoon. Reflex Construction in the cuff and upper jettisons pressure points by allowing natural, smooth motion from the heel to the calf so you can hiking and hitting without your boot folding and pinching. The magical Mystic 2 footbed uses bamboo and reflexology to increase blood flow, prevent fatigue, align your posture, and karate chop odor causing bacteria—because stinky, aching feet are the number one cause of bad mojo. Land low and get techy on the rails with the Lo-Fi sole. Grippy rubber and dampening EVA give you freestyle board feel and low-profile style for all-mountain trickery.

Easily the best boot ive ever owned. I have scuba fins for feet, so finding a boot wide enough was tough.,.,.until I found this boot. Perfect fit, incredibly comfortable. Ive done some serious 10 hour riding days in these boots and have never been more comfortable. Quick lace system is pretty awesome as well. Super solid, well built boot. Would definitely recommend this to anyone

Really, I tried on about 20 different boots. Most of them were much more expensive than the Salomon Dialogue Wide, some I liked a lot! Until I strapped these on. Amazing fit and feel, easy quick lace compared to others. I cant believe that I have been riding for years without this kind of comfort. Stop buying boots a size to big. These things are worth much more that they are charging. 6 hrs with them on, never had to adjust or loosen them because of foot fatigue or pressure. If there is one thing I would tweak, I would make them a bit stiffer.

The Saints have locked up a pair of key contributors. OT Jermon Bushrod and TE David Thomas signed their restricted free-agent tenders Tuesday, and DT Remi Ayodele was expected to follow their lead and sign his tender.
Bushrod started at left tackle last season, but it's not clear what his role will be next season as OLT Jammal Brown is healthy and looking to take his starting job back after missing all of last season. Brown was sidelined after undergoing surgeries.
Thomas was a valuable contributor last season. He took snaps at tight end and also lined up as a lead blocker in the backfield.
Ayodele, who had not started a game prior to 2009, started 13 games last season.

I loved the look of this duvet and the pillows and it looked great in my room. The problem I had with it is that I foumd the material to be rough and almost itchy. The duvet was not soft or plush to sit on or use and just made it uncomfortable. I also was not crazy about the fact that it was shinier than I thought. The picture doesn't show how shiny it is, but it is shiny - like satin. But it is definitely not as soft as satin. I should have looked more carefully at the product to be sure it was 100% cotton. I returned it.
Looks good on my bed. Purchased this to help stage our masterbed room in order to sell our house. Works perfectly in that aspect. Colours are much more brown, but still look nice. Fabric seems like it will snag easily and more better used as a bedspread than as a duvet cover.
I had to return this item as it was the wrong size, and the color was not right. But I ordered a diferent style and I am very happy with the quality and color. I had no problem returning the original item. Customer service was very helpful.
This duvet set really stands out in our bedroom. I just wish the material wasn't So shiny.
The duvet is beautiful; exactly what I hoped for when I ordered it. Great colors. I did press the top and bottom to take out the packing wrinkles. Pillows and shams are very nice. Good quality overall. I love everything I've ever ordered from Overstock.
King size was too big for the the king duvet we had
After reading all the reviews, I decided to take a chance on this bedding set. I was pleasantly surprised! Duvet cover fit over my quilt perfectly and was easy to "pillow case" my quilt. The pillows and shams were also sewn nicely and very decorative and the set looks great on my bed, enhancing the room a lot. I would recommend this to anyone who has a beige room. Simple elegance in a big.
This is a beautiful set. I was a little discouraged from buying due to the negative reviews, but I can safely say that after making my bed with this set, I have no buyer's remorse. The cover is a bit rough, but that's to be expected from polyester. The quality is pretty average for what you're getting. This is a 6-piece set for a low price. As far as looks goes, it's perfect. Goes perfectly with my ivy bed frame and room decor. It looks like a million dollars but doesn't feel too nice against the skin. Invest in a really nice sheet set and it will not bother you since you'll be underneath a sheet versus the duvet.
The set came with what looked like ink spots all over the duvet. Overstock was wonderful in handling the return and sending me a replacement. I chose another style and was very pleased with it.
Just received this Duvet set and I am very happy with it. Not sure why some review state that this is so 'shiney' but in my opinion it is just right. Will shop overstock.com again.....

Poised, energized, and armed with unforgettable performance ability, Michelle G. is a firework in the artistic arena. Her training began at the young age of 3 with the violin, and a few years later received classes for piano and voice. Excelling in all three, Michelle developed a very passionate and dramatic personality that eventually led her to more dramatic genres such as opera and stage acting. Her aptitude to understand human emotions and relationships gives her a wide spectrum to play in as an actress. There is an organic flow to her interpretations both as an actress and musician that leads the audience to feel her emotional current. Her honest characterizations introduce deeper perspectives on what seems like the ordinary roles and storylines. Amongst the many other leads that she has played, her participation in roles like "Susanna" in The Marriage of Figaro, or "Donna Elvira" in Don Giovanni embody much vibrancy and integrity.
Through the development of her voice as a singer and actress, she has crossed over into other media such as voice over commercial work and vocals for pop/main stream music productions. She has recently participated as a vocalist and violinist in the albums of artists such as international jazz pop artist David Longoria, Latin pop singer Erick Bolivar, Grammy-nominated percussionist Souhail Kaspar, and American Idol's Seysha. Over the last few years she has unraveled her musical skills as a songwriter/composer/arranger and has even had some small victories acquiring music placements on TV shows (NCIS, short film "Sumtin' Like Dat", The Dictator) for herself and some of her colleagues. Her inner brilliance is lighting a unique path before her, and she is bravely embracing each step forward in a promising creative career.
Michelle completed her Associates of Arts for Music/Music Education at the age of 18, and got later graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's of Arts for Musical Theater and Music Business, as well as from Florida International University with a Master's of Music in Vocal Performance.

I tailor my lessons to my student's needs, style, abilities, and goals. Learning is truly a fun and passionate adventure for me, and my enthusiasm has consistently been a contagious quality :) I love to challenge myself & my students to discover how immense their true potential is, and I create a safe and fun environment to explore such facets.
My curriculum is combination of solid tradition (Suzuki method for piano & violin, and Bel Canto technique for singing) interwoven with pop-culture, and modern influences. Within the first 3-6 months, my students will know the basic building blocks of music - which includes scales, arpeggios, triads, intervals, technique, and performance repertoire; and for my singers this will include proper breath technique, tone placement, support, very often increased vocal range (both high and low), and will feel significantly stronger vocally and more confident getting up to sing.

Learning foreign languages can be tough, and even though Spanish is recognized as one of the easiest languages to learn, it can still be quite a challenge. Complicated conjugations and odd punctuation are just two facets of the Spanish language that can cause difficulties for some students. You should also be aware that adequate knowledge of a foreign language is usually a prerequisite for college admission. If you or your child is struggling with Spanish as a second language, you may want to consider Spanish tutoring with private instructor.
While there are many good language learning methods available, students do learn faster with the help of a private tutor. With the right Spanish tutor, you can be assured of excellent one-on-one attention, along with personalized lessons.
Many parents have been extremely disappointed with the results theyâve gotten from a CD or YouTube instructional videos, as itâs often harder to stay on track. Spanish tutoring with a friendly and qualified TakeLessons tutor is a great alternative to the Internet.
Still wondering if Spanish tutoring with TakeLessons is right for you? Take a look at the following benefits:

PewterReport.com is happy to debut a new feature on the website. Fan blogger Romando Williams will be regularly offering up his insight into his favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in his blog titled From The Cheap Seats. Williams is a long-time Pewter Report subscriber, an active participant on the PewterReport.com message boards and a die-hard fan that is extremely knowledgeable about the game of football. His brother, Andrew Williams, previously played defensive end for Tampa Bay. Below is Rolando Williams' first fan blog. More entertaining and informative blog entries will come in the weeks to come.
Hard-core football junkies in 32 cities are foaming at the mouth for any morsel of scoop about their newly drafted rookie classes. Tampa Bay is no different. Football has seemingly turned into a year round sport. Neverending transactions, trades, free agency, the draft, organized team activities, off-season workouts and training camp are all blurred together culminating in a new season.
The year is 2010, and this version of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appears anxious to embrace a new journey. The Bucs have not seen the likes of 3-13 since 1991. That alone speaks volumes for a perennial doormat that found a way to reach the pinnacle of the game during the 2002 season. The build-up to that fabled January day was mired in player inconsistencies and horrible front office drafts. The recent collapse of the team reeks of the days of old and orange.
With the anticipation of a new season come new expectations as well. Here are my critical expectations for the season:
Offensive Line
Are these guys as bad as some want to make them? I feel like a newly appointed public defender trying to save the world when I extol their "on paper" virtues. I have all good intentions, but somehow feel I fall short of my goal.
Statistical analysis has its place in every game. However, with any numbers, they can be gathered and presented with only one view in mind and a lot of times intended not to tell the whole story. Football Outsiders has a nice page that attempts to rank offensives lines in a couple of ways. If, when deciphering this data, you take all of the ranks and average them, you will get a totally different picture than the doom and gloom some would like to portray.
Let me just say don't get your hopes up, as it's not alarmingly better, either. Without lulling you into a numbers-induced coma, try on my Cliff's Notes-version geared towards a holistic view.
Based on an average of the run-blocking category rankings, the offensive line should be rated between 19th and 21st in the league. When measuring them against individual categories, the Bucs are still low in the league, but are percentage points below the leaders and even closer to the NFL averages for the 32 teams.
The Bucs have an adjusted sack rate of 5.7 having given up 33 sacks while the Colts, considered the best, have a 3.1 rate on 13 sacks. Most would – and do – harp quite a bit that left tackle Donald Penn doesn't run block well. Yet, the Football Outsiders have the tandem of Penn and Jeremy Zuttah ranked sixth in the league running through their gap. Penn and Zuttah beat Trueblood and Joseph by five ranking points with both pair positioned aloft the top third of the league in their gap running.
The center position drags the group down drastically with a 32nd-rank running between the guards and center on both sides. That would suggest the time Jeff Faine was injured, but his injuries can't be used as an excuse, nor do they surpass scrutiny in 2010. Those rankings averaged give you a 16th or 17th ranking even with the center dramatically affecting the number.
Outside the tackles, running to the left, the Bucs rank 18th. Conversely, running to the right they are an abysmal 31st in the league. As you can see, the tilting of this statistical view brings a little different picture of the Buccaneers offensive line. I'd like to think it earns a little more patience for a group of guys who must toss the past aside and forge some new and wider running lanes in 2010.
It has been said that a jump in performance should be forthcoming if Josh Freeman is the quarterback we think he is. Freeman has no shot at that goal if this offensive line doesn't come together and put away past and preconceived notions. They need to take all of their great plays, drives, and games and turn them into a more consistent 2010.
Issues, injuries, substitutions, coordinators, new and different schemes ... are they all excuses? I'd say it's all unfortunate for a group of guys that lack the consistency at present to ascend to the upper third of offensive lines in this league.
There's a very thin margin for error in 2010. The running game should be a quarterback's friend. Could they do better in protection? Sure, they could. But a better-than-decent running game will give Freeman the freedom he needs to grow. The problem is it seems like we are always waiting for these guys to break through, to get it right and to become consistent. 2010 must be the year.
Lastly, I'm not going to get on my soapbox about Penn. Quite frankly, I'm a little disappointed by both he and the team. Sure, the Bucs have all of the leverage by rule because he is a restricted free agent. However, if you consider Penn to be a core player then treat the guy like he is one. If he's not that guy, I'm sure all concerned would rather the front office cut bait and move in another direction.
Defensive Line
I remember when defensive tackle Chris Hovan was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. I remember the intensity he had every Sunday. While that intensity may not have waned, his ability to wreak havoc has been tempered by age.
After painfully watching the Carolina Panthers mercilessly run the ball at will, the Buccaneers decided not to neglect the defensive line any longer. With the third pick in the 2010 draft, the Buccaneers selected Gerald McCoy, a defensive tackle out of the University of Oklahoma. In addition, the Bucs added UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price in round number two.
No one wants to add undo pressure on these young men. Nevertheless, they must know they were brought here to be instant impact players. Coaches, players, and intelligent fans will utter and post all of the familiar cliché's: "They are just rookies," "They have to learn," "Based on past performances, don't expect greatness the first year."
But let's not fool ourselves, we may not get greatness and will understand if we don't, but we expect it and want it in the worst way. Do McCoy and Price have what they need for greatness to emerge in 2010? On paper, both of them have the production in college to back their lofty selections in the draft. Either of these guys coupled with Roy Miller should bolster an absolutely porous defensive front.
Running the football is said to be an attitude that is gained and cultivated over time. If we take that statement as truth, stopping the run should be no less the endeavor or effort. The team needs those young men to be great. The Bucs need them to make the players around them better.
Neither Barrett Ruud, Stylez G. White, nor any other player on this defense who relies upon destruction up the middle will complain about the tackles formerly in place. However, when the Bucs drafted McCoy and Price all the Cover 2 disciples at One Buccaneer Place were dancing with joy. They know with better defensive tackle play comes better play from the people around them. Those elements should make stopping the run common place again when the Buccaneer defense is on the field.
Josh Freeman
I'm just a hair shy of buying into Freeman hook, line, and sinker. He showed some things last year in his nine starts. He showed a huge arm not seen since the likes of Doug Williams. He showed moxy (or self-preservation) by pulling down the rock and running at crucial times. He showed leadership by answering the media's tough questions and not throwing his teammates under the bus.
Much more than his play, his offseason has been all a fan would want to hear and know about the franchise quarterback. Freeman's presence at the facility has been well documented. While in the state of the art facility, Freeman has been watching and dissecting film. He's been in the classroom with offensive coordinator Greg Olson and quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, both of whom have vouched for his studious determination.
Freeman is doing all the things you'd want to see and hear from a guy who wants to be great. Peyton Manning, while still playing, is already considered in the conversation for the best of the best due in part to his meticulous attention to detail. Have we seen a quarterback with Manning's study skills and at least some of Randall Cunningham's wiggle?
Steve Young comes to mind, but who after that? In no way am I comparing Freeman to any of these guys. Yet, it intrigues me to think that the Bucs have a guy that is willing to be cerebral enough to think through the game so well and maximize the mix of brawn and brain he possesses. To quote head coach Raheem Morris, "We need Josh to be his very best self."
Mind you, he's only two years removed from college, yet we see signs of Freeman stepping up and taking the reigns wherever he can. So far, his words and his deeds match. Let's also hope they translate to the field.
