It was reported yesterday that former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak accepted the offer from the Pittsburgh Steelers to become the team's offensive line coach this season. This is being widely hailed as a great get for a team that desperately needs a man that can lead a talented but young and unrefined crew of offensive linemen.
Born and raised on the eastern side of Pennsylvania in Scranton, Munchak became an accomplished guard playing for Penn State in college before going on to a Hall of Fame career with the Houston Oilers, garnering nine Pro Bowl bids in his 12 professional seasons.
Until now, Munchak had spent his entire professional career with the Oilers, and later Titans, organization, but now he is coming home to Pennsylvania. He spent 14 seasons in Houston and Tennessee coaching offensive lines and became among the most respected at it in the league. Now he will be doing the same in Pittsburgh after a brief flirtation as a head coach.
It's somewhat reminiscent of Todd Haley, also a native Pennsylvanian who, after being fired from a less than ideal head coaching circumstances, came to Pittsburgh in a more familiar assistant coach capacity. Let's hope that Munchak's transition goes more smoothly. Has he met Maurkice Pouncey yet?
On a more serious note, even if Munchak's second stint among the offensive line coach ranks proves brief and he goes off to a higher position in a year or two, I believe that the impact he can have on this offensive line, and thus this team, can be long-lasting.
It's not very often that a player that was among the best at his position is also among the best at teaching others to play the position, but that's what Munchak is. While he went to nine Pro Bowls himself, he sent his own players to 10 Pro Bowls as their position coach. The only lineman with Pro Bowl experience is currently Pouncey, though David DeCastro is certainly on the cusp.
Munchak can harness some of that raw ability and get the most out of this group of players, and can turn a player like DeCastro into a Pro Bowler, if not an All-Pro. But it's not so much the interior of the offensive line that can most benefit; rather, it's the edge protectors, the tackles, that could use the most elbow grease.
Marcus Gilbert has been the right tackle for three seasons now, and though his play has been affected by injuries, there's still certainly much for him to work on. Like Mike Adams, he struggles to anchor against a bull rush, for example.
Adams is of course the biggest project now on Munchak's plate. The former second rounder crapped the bed in his second season when given the chance to start at left tackle, showing glaring issues in pass protection, keeping his hands down and reaching when his feet get caught behind him. The organization would obviously be very appreciative if Munchak can salvage this high-investment player.
Not that Kelvin Beachum doesn't deserve credit for taking hold of the starting left tackle spot, where he will presumably enter the offseason. But he, too, can benefit from Munchak's wisdom. Of the team's top six offensive linemen, four were drafted in the top two rounds over the last four seasons. Three will be entering just their third year in the league.
Historically, Mike Tomlin has been one to stack the deck for new position coaches by bringing in some new toys, but Munchak's already got all the clay he can handle. It's time for him to start molding a championship-caliber offensive line.
Hi my name is David DeCastro. I am your new pet project
Best possible choice!
Great news for this organization from top to bottom starting with the OL were everyone should benefit from Pouncey all the way down to Adams. That's where it all starts is up front and we just received the biggest shot in the arm where this team needed it the most–the OL! Mike Munchak certainly has the resume with 9 Pro Bowls, being named to the all decade team of the 80's, coached the OL for 14 years, voted to the HOF I mean what's not to like here?! GREAT HIRE!!
19-0, Baby!
There is hope and now expectation.
I wonder what his input on Velasco will be?
And I wonder if they will let him choose a late round pick? They seem to usually let new coaches choose a late round favorite.
I am excited! This is better than any free agent signing we could have done. The impact should be felt immediately with a young oline.
The impact should be bigger than drafting an olineman in teh first round.
Excellent hire!…hopefully we get 2 seasons with him…both Adams and Gilbert need grooming and I still think they need to look at OT and or C (if Valesco is not retained) late in the draft…Beachum is best suited to be the swing guy. If they can get this part fixed with Pouncey staying in one piece…good potential.
This is great.. hope this is great for velasco too..Hope velasco has not hard blood toward Munchak releasing him from Tenn to come play for Steelers.. Hope Muchak stays a while and does great things.. Ben would very happy as would Todd Haley..
This is great! Now I'm all for going offense in the first round. Let's get Ben the recognition he deserves by making this offense one of the best in the league- Elite QB, elite WR, and hopefully soon to be elite RB and O-line.
Couldn't be any better than this. First we get him and now he's coaching the senior bowl to help us get a mid to late round steal
Excellent. I really thought he'd get a HC job elsewhere, definitely one of the best OL guys out there. If he can get some of these guys to play to potential, watch out.
I have read that they released Velasco to get under the cap with the hope of re-signing him at a lower cost. The Steeler opening came up and he was gone. We'll see soon enough if there's any resentment Velasco will be out. He had such a good year that he might get a better offer from another team anyway.
I read that the Atlanta coaching staff is coaching the North and The Jaguar's staff is coaching the South.
Like he said since Dick Lebeau…….
Stop. You sound like an Eagles fan after they win a preseason game.
Right, because dick lebeau took the bungles to two superbowls.
Ahhh, I get it. You are upset again because someone from the chins staff wasn't hired. I can't believe that 32 other teams overlooked Russ Grim…..AGAIN!
Not that it wouldn't have already been a smart move to keep Velasco anyway, I can't see the Steelers parting ways with him now that Munchak is hired.
I just THINK about the possibility that the Steelers could be a top-10 rushing team in 2014 (a guy can dream), and I get a tear in my eye!
Nobody has taken the Bungles to 2 Super Bowls. Unfair comparison. Although I think Lebeau has been to more as a coach the Tomlin. Point r4.
Mixed feelings on this one. As much impressive Munchak's resume is; how much of improvement are we looking at? Going 8-4 with crippled O-line, undersized left tackle, and third string center with BETTER stats we have seen since last Whisenhunt and Cowher's eras. We all (me included) were this excited about Todd Haley as well, looking at the outlooks of hiring, I can say Tomlin is more comfortable with reputation than a small-hire that has better "coaching reputations" and if so- what does that say for Butler as next defensive coordinator?
I'm excited actually because he just might squeeze the more out of Pouncey, Gilbert, and heck Mike Adams but for the rest? Not much of improvements. DeCastro, to be fair, argumentative is already THAT good, Beachem is succeeding and exceeding our expectations, "could" get better, conditioning-wise but that's not on coaching staffs. The rest (ramon foster, Velaso, Cody Wallace, Whimper) are maxed out as for their potentials.
If the hire are TO improve high picks (Gilbert, Adams, and Pouncey) then I'm all for it however Munchak have proved that he's a fan of players with higher ceilings and better overall size, does this mean Beachem shouldn't be cemented as a starting left tackle? Is he at risk of losing his starting status only because of some coach's preferences. That would be my biggest question. Any position changes? How long is he staying or in for? Regardless, the hire have more positive outcomes than negative ones. I'm generous happy about it.
Funny because Wiz just landed his 2nd head coaching job. Maybe Grimm is enjoying his double bacon cheddar burgers and watching reruns of The Golden Girls too much to want to come back.
Great comparison except that you fail to realize that Lebeau has been coaching longer than Tomlin has been alive. lol you keep score, this is like playing monopoly with a 9 year old. Sure, you can have 4 hotels on one property.
I understand the skepticism that followed Haley's first season as OC, but I have no problems with his play-calling now. Unlike Arians, Todd is MUCH more open to letting Ben run the no-huddle (and more often) with a menu of plays they've both agreed on. He also calls games with a FAR less predictable pattern than old Bruce. And you have to love Ben's stat line of late.
To me someone that lands a lot of coaching positions is not a good coach, average-yes. If you like average coaches, maybe you should trade in your terrible towel lol
I couldn't agree more….a true players coach with a lot of knowledge to give…..I'm excited to see what he can do with some of our young talent!
We still need a legit LT! Antonio Richardson, anyone?
What great news to wake up to today.
Can't think of a better way to get this underachieving, injury prone, under-talented (not all) O-line to take a step forward!
Great move Steelers FO!!
I couldn't disagree less!
(I'm feeling funky today, so I went with the double negative).
JBS, I think you and I are alone in this opinion, but who knows, maybe Munch will either take Belchum to the level needed – OR – tell Tomlin to move him to RT instead.
I never really liked monopoly. So I don't get the whole 4 hotels on one property comment. LeBeau is the best D coach ever. So for you to make it sound his success is only because he's been around a long time is foolish. Now be gone fool.
I agree. And hopefully a new voice for the coaches to listen to when he explains that Adams and Gilbert are not going to cut it long term.
while it appears like an excellent hire … i think too many are overly optimistic on their expectations … I am hopeful, but would rather improve our personnel a little more to give him more to work with … eventually a true LT depending on Beachem's performance and a starting caliber LG would upgrade the interior and let Foster do what he does best be a back up swing guy !
Still need talent on the O-line to achieve that!
I don't like average coaches. Thank you for understanding why I don't like Tomlin. 8-8 x 2 + 7 = .500
Far from it. I give Lebeau a lot of props as a defensive coordinator and motivator. I think the squaky clean image our defense carries is largely due to him. The few issues off the field the Steelers have had come from the offensive side of the ball. I give Dick a lot of that credit as well as a person that molds young men into productive members of the community.
Nonetheless, your arguement was not apples to apples, so I had to poke a hole in it.
Do you play chess? sure your queen can move in an "L".
So the way you credit coaches you take their worst years and average them out? Please do that for every coach in the NFL and see how they stack up to Tomlin. Every arguement you make against Tomlin is intrinsically flawed.
The only argument i agree iwth you is that tomlin's decision making (green bay) and time management needs improvement. But as I told you before, he is growing and is allowed that privilege by the rooneys.
Now hooooold on just a bit ASH.
Munchak has been to O-line coaching what LeBeau has been to DC. This is his forte'. In that regard, I'm considerably more excited about this hire than I was with Haley.
Your assessment of the O-line is where I disagree. At this point in time, IMO, Gilbert and Adams are both missed picks. Gilbert could possibly be a solid back-up and Adams is a bust unless we want to carry him just for goal line run situation.
DeCastro is not "THAT good" at this point. He may be very good in time, but to this point he has shown to not be strong enough, has mental lapses, and like the rest of the line, struggles when the D-line stunts. He has a ways to go.
Bringing in an O-line expert like Munchak will help to clear up where Beachum should play (my vote has been RT) and if those other two tackles can actually be improved or not.
This is a serious bump in the right direction for what has been the most inconsistent group for the past few years. Good stuff!
Tomlin's record as a Steeler HC is 71-41, 30 games over 500, with a .634 win %, a Super Bowl win, and another Super Bowl appearance.
I agree, but that's what I'm saying. Look at how long it took for the Steelers to find their offense strengths/weaknesses with rhymes? A year and half. People reacted as if this hire will have an immediate impact, that's what I'm skeptical about because argumentative, Haley are the reason for Mendenhall's exit and argumentative, Manny Sanders and both were doing above-average BEFORE the hire. My only question is, who is on their way out?
Because SOMEBODY is.
But Drake..
This is where we are right now in the off-season – filling this coaching position. Free agency hasn't started yet and the draft isn't until May.
Finally finding a REAL O-line coach is crucial to helping this unit that has struggled consistently over the past few years. This is big for the Steelers!
Yep, I agree. Colbert messed up drafting Adams that high. We could have gotten another player and still may have gotten Adams in the third round. And if we didn't, it would not have been a big loss. If Munchak can turn this guy into an NFL caliber solid left tackle, he should get a doubling of pay.
Ok while this is fun I have to get back to my Bible studies. I'll end it on this comment from Tomlin after the Packers game and his horrible time management decision: "If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably do it the same," Tomlin said. Uh, Sounds to me like he didn't learn his lesson. Nor will he ever. Peace
I think Tomlin was bigger as head coach. I'm not going to get into the argument below, but pretty psyched about the Munchak hire as well.
A really bold step would be to trade Pouncey for a LT or first rounder and re-sign both Velasco and Cody Wallace. Not saying that such a trade possibility is on the table, but it wouldn't hurt to explore it. Maybe some team is dying for a center and Pouncey seems to be highly regarded around the league.
Hells yes CrazyTerry
So we should just keep tallying it up until when? They go 8-8 next year or worse? At what point do you start to look at his underachieving teams and his constant questionable decisions? You tell me? How many years of mediocrity will it take? Let's just let him rest on his early records from a team HE had nothing to do with building. Well it's HIS team now and it if the past 2 seasons are a barometer of his work storms are a comin. But hey let's not look at the present, let's look at the past.
You can't just dismiss his previous record either. You're saying, 8-8 and then forgetting everything else. Selective amnesia.
8-8 x 2. Nothing selective about that. Facts. His horrible time management and game time decisions have been throughout his career. I'm asking you they go 8-8 or worse next year what do you say? How many will it take?
Don't bother arguing with r4kolb. He's staunchly anti-Tomlin no matter what. Tomlin could win the Super Bowl next year and he would argue it was all Big Ben and they won in spite of Tomlin. No point in arguing with anyone who thinks that Dom Capers would be a better head coach than Mike Tomlin.
Depends. If it is an 8-8 next year with ben missing 16 games (god I hope not) then he keeps going. If ben makes teh probowl and were 8-8 I would still give him another year.
Please look at this past season as 4 quarters. Now tell me why you wouldnt want the coach that coached the last 3? Keep in mind that Mike Adams was the TE for the first four, we lost a probowl receiver and our top two RBs on the depth chart. Then we lost our signal callers on both sides of the ball in game one. The team adjusted and rallied behind their coach. Why wouldn't you want that? Look man, there is adversity in football, it's all about how you overcome it. 0-4 is adversity in pittsburgh, how was it overcome? Ya dig?
I think Munchak got this job knowing that he has to make these 7 guys good, no help through free agency or draft. Maybe a late round flier.
If he can make adams a LT he will more than 10x his pay as a HC again. Double edged sword, right?
Every Team needs to play through adversity. I think what people misunderstand is it's not just the record, it's how they lose games. It's the constant time management blunders, the going for 50 yard field goals when WE ALL no Squeez aint makin it. If we see how can he still not? He's a bonehead!!!!! It seems this team never can make adjustments at halftime to switch up when things aren't working. In that 0-4 span they LOST to Tenn, Chicago, and Minn. Throw in the Raiders and then the knife that ended it the Dolphins AT HOME IN THE SNOW!!!!! I'm done arguing. Make all the excuses you want. He is an average at best coach.
If Tomlin does win another SB, I'm just happy I won't have to hear the "Bill Cowher used to be the Steelers Coach, therefore, he is the reason the Steelers won the super bowl" rants…….
Munchak has cemented himself with the Oilers/Titans for many years. From what I read, he could have remained the coach of the Titans if he fired some of his staff. He respectfully couldn't justify the firing, so he took the brunt and was let go himself. Now, with that said, that shows a lot about his character, which brings me to my point. If the pieces fall into place for Munchak, I can see a long relationship here based on his past. He's loyal and cares about the staff, obviously. His priorities are in order it seems (opposite of money mike). Now, if he wants to be a head coach again, more power to him. But, for those who think this may be just a stepping stone for Mike, I might beg to differ based on his history.
It's completely selective. It's true, they went 8-8 the last two years. But you ignore everything before that, because it doesn't support your argument.
Matt, I love that you mention that although Munchak may be here short term, his impact on the development of this offensive line can be long lasting. I think that's what I like the most about this hire.
Wow, if that is true, I like him even more. Rare to find in any industry in todays day and age.
I know I won't change your mind and I'm not trying to. Teams go thru cycles and the Steelers are in a down cycle for many reasons.
My question for you is this: IF (big if) this team returns to form next year and cycles back up, will you still say the same things?
It's funny how selective our memory is.
Cowher's last season was an 8-8 season finishing out of the playoffs.
Tomlin's first season was a 10-6 (1st in Division) playoff. Second season was 12-4 SB Champions.
He had a 9-7 season after that, but bounced back (do you hear that R4?) with back-to-back 12-4 seasons and a SB loss.
It's just silly for anyone to say he did ALLLL of that because of Cowher.
Cowher 7-9+6-10 = .406 Below average….See what I did there moron. LMAO
What about Tomlin being on the field in the Ravens game? Still may cost us a draft pick. This was not Tomlins year. Hopefully he learns time management and not hiring someone, like Bicknell, to teach something you will not stay with, waste of time and energy and money.
That is another fair argument.
Munchak will get the most out of our line. He will make the bad players better and bring his thoughts to the Steelers way of doing things.
All the talent in the world can not be developed without a good coaching. Now that we have the coach, there is no excuse.
Sanders above avg before Haley??
Mendenhall messed himself up for not showing up for a game and fumbling many times. His loss was his own fault.
Listen here's the thing. There are the knuckleheads like Luke who think I don't like Tomlin to just not like him. That's not the case. It's based on 2 things which I think the one fuels the other. His in game decisions are questionable too often. His lack of having HIS team prepared to win games they in all rights need to and should win (Raiders, Dolphins) tell me it's not due to a down cycle. Do you not agree they were 2 games we ABSOLUTELY should have won? Knowing the situation we were in and the fact we were the favored team tells me we should have. We win those 2 games and we are 10-6 in the playoffs. That's what a GOOD coach will do. I'm not even including the loss to the 5 win Vikings.
To get to your question on IF, if this team returns to form we will be 8-8. That's the form of the past 2 years. Why is it a big IF? We have Ben Friggin Roethlisberger as our QB. We better start to do better then 8-8. The fact that it's an if with an elite QB tells me it's more then a personnel issue. I will have to see how many games we win against teams we were expected to lose to. If Tomlin continues to make boneheaded decisions then I will still call him out. If Tomlin doesn't I will give him credit for that. Based on his past I don't see the later being the case. Do you understand why I don't think he's a above average coach now? Seriously I'm not being sarcastic or trolling I'm just giving you what I base my opinion on.
Tard. Get your facts together. Cowers career winning percentage is better then Tomlins. FACT. Oh yeah and that was without a QB named Ben for most of it.
I don't disagree that Tomlin could get better with game management. I agree with Dave and Dave when they say they're surprised that the team doesn't just hire someone to work specifically on that during games.
I also was pretty pissed off with the way the season began where our O seemed completely unprepared. Not sure how much of that is Tomlin trusting Haley or just the HC.
But there are SO many factors at play. Including that during the toughest start to any season since the losing ways of the 30's thru 60's, it was Tomlin who kept the team focused so that they could finish strong (6-2).
Other teams (Jets, Falcons, Texans, etc..) folded for the most part.
The Steelers were in position to win the Dolphins game and the defense let a 55-yd run change that. I can't fault Tomlin for that.
The O-line was a swinging gate and as much as I can't stand Warren Sapp, he's right when he said the defense got old and slow.
Look it up before you post:
Cowher reg season=.627
Cowher post season=.571
Tomlin reg season=.634
Tomlin post season=.610
I'm a big Cowher fan, great coach but FACT NOT!
He's on the last year of his contract. That would be hard to do but I can definitely see where you are coming from.
Ecstatic! Munchack has built lines that made 3rd stringers 1000 yard rushers! Seriously! Need I say more?
Even if Beachum can be forged into a star, it still leaves the position weak and without a viable backup. Time to admit Adams was a mistake(and possibly Gilbert too) and move on.
I'd say there's a decent chance they can become a top rushing team- especially with a change of pace back like LSH. I think Bell has all the tools to be a great running back even behind 2013's o-line. With improved coaching on the line I think he'll be a name on everybody's practice report.
Consider this a warning. I don't need insults here.
You mean the coach whose drafts have been piss-poor despite Colbert being the same Colbert as during the Cowher days?
Starting with the 2011 season, Mendy proved himself to be nothing terribly special. I think, at that point, it was just as obvious to fans as it was to coaches. Mendy had more top speed than Bell, but that's where his advantages end. (Hell, his lack of ball security alone may well have cost the Steelers Super Bowl XLV.) As for Manny, he looked promising in his rookie year, and then took steps back with injuries and inconsistent play while AB thrived.
Agreed. Bell has the potential to be the next Matt Forte, IMO. With the right scatback to compliment his physical style, our backfield could be truly dangerous.
Very excited about the hire!
Munchak won't be around for long though, maybe 2 years or so. Let's hope the assistant learns from Munchack, and can apply what he has learned after Munchack leaves. I would love to have the assistant promoted after he leaves.
I don't quite get teh cowher argument you make all the time. Cowher is not an option to coach this team, or any team. He likes his cushy job. He resigned to be with his wife. And has moved on in life.
Your argument is that we should get rid of a young coach that has been to the superbowl twice and has teh BEST WINNING PERCENTAGE IN STEELERS history just because he mismanages time and in-game decisions. And then hope that the next coach, cowher included, will top that. C'mon man. That's like saying trade big ben for the first overall pick and get bridgewater. You are rolling the dice vs a known good commodity(with shortcomings). I still keep Tomlin and BR.
The fact is that no matter how much talent a team has (see atlanta falcons) they do not win 63% of their games without being prepared. So I am not sure how you make an argument for the steelers not being prepared.
And read your bible again and try to find what it says about calling people names. We're all respectful towards your views.
Piss poor is a far stretch. Keep in mind that he has drafted plenty of probowlers: wallace, woodley and pouncey to name a few.
Big ben, polumalu, Casey hampton are probably teh players you are referring to while revering cowher. Two hall of famers in 3 years. I would say that is out of the norm for any team or draft, and when you do it you win superbowls. I give them credit but based on your arguement I should ask why they didn't do that earlier. But that is a tough comparison if you are trying to slight a coach. That is like comparing everyone else in the world to Usain Bolt in a sprint. It took Cowher a while and I would suggest you give Tomlin the same.
The late round LB picks that were probowlers under cowher I have a hard time giving him all the credit, i give him plenty but don't fail to realize that those guys are first round talent in this aprils draft. Someone like Khalil Mack would have been a 3-4 round pick 10 years ago because today half of the league rusn teh 3/4. I credit Lebeau with getting us ahead of the curve.
Things have changed and are changing in the NFL. I love Heath miller but to me he is a sign of why Cowher is behind the times in teh league. Every first round tight end since Heath miller is a redzone nightmare. Cowher still was pushing to draft a run blocking tight end. That's the old NFL.
Glad you see some of my points. I do give you credit for your 2nd paragraph and I will keep my assessment on his drafting ongoing.
I do want to mention a major reason for the Cowher/Tomlin discrepancy is A) number of first rounders who have been just serviceable starters as compared to legit threats. With a few exceptions, when Cowher drafted a player in the first round you knew he was going to be a baller. Tomlin's 1st rounders have been littered with mediocrity for the most part although I hope Heyward's ascent belies this statement for our team's sake.
B) the late rounders are much different. Take a look at Tomlin's drafts and name one other player taken in the 4th-7th rounds by Tomlin other than AB that was legit. Willie Gay? Cortez? Really?
Cowher picked Ike, Keisel, Foote, Aaron Smith, etc. in the 4th round or after, and that's just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Key cogs of our D – legit players.
So yes, I have nothing against MT as a coach (except his questionable clock management at times, and undisciplined players-first attitude), but his drafting has been frustrating, if you don't want to use the word "piss poor".
Had enough of your attitude as well. Tone it down.
I am positive, just not claiming victory yet in regards to the OL thats all … but yes it was one step in the right direction … a few more steps ( getting the most from the talent we have, improving techniques .. understanding stunts and pickups etc … and another good draft pick or shrewd FA pickup) would complete the puzzle !
That is a tough argument to make either way. I would say that the late round guys are not necessarily about drafting, but rather growing. If it was about drafting kiesel and smith would have been drafted in the first round. I give both coaching staffs credit, but as of now I would obviously give the edge to the cowher administration.
But here is the kicker….who gets credit for James Harrison in this argument?
Noted, my bad
Dave that's fine but just remember how at times I point out your insults. Considering your the moderator I think you should be held to a higher standard.
Keep in mind Ben, Troy, and Casey were all draft picks that were picked up earlier too. When Tomlin has drafted at similar positions we've picked up Timmons,Pouncey, and Jones. Early to say what we've got with Jones, but Timmons and Pouncey are the real deal.
A big reason we had Ben, Troy and Casey was because we had a few sub par years, similar to what we're going through right now. Cowher's draft years also receive a benefit that many overlook: fewer teams were running the 3-4. It's a lot easier to find defensive gems when fewer teams are running the same defense as you.
great point.
Great point and observation regarding Velasco.
Sorry, he just seems to bring it out in some of us.
We don't know for sure how much of the draft is influenced by the coach and how much is the GM.
Here's how you deduce it: A) Tomlin, in a press conference a few months ago, said that he is responsible for every draft pick decision. B) Colbert is the constant between the Cowher and Tomlin years, so why was there such a discrepancy between their drafts? Has to be the coach.
Agreed, although some of MT's "potential-based" draft picks were wasted because they did not leave them enough time to grow, which happened less so in the Cowher years. Examples include Kraig Urbik, Terry Hawthorne, Alameda Ta'amu, and you could even make the argument for AQ Shipley and Crezdon Butler. The one potential-based pick they did give time to was Keenan Lewis and that ended a'la every good home-system-grown Pirates player, if you get my drift.
I am torn on Deebo but if you put a gun to my head I will say that Cowher et al get credit for identifying the talent and initially working with him, and Tomlin et al get credit for most of the development and finalizing things. Overall I'd split it.
You also overlook the fact that less college teams ran the 3-4 back then as well…
I am happy by nature and an optimist by choice. From the end of each season until proven mathematically impossible, I derive pleasure and serenity from my belief that my Steelers could potentially go undefeated in the coming season. It has been that way for each of the 50+ years I have been a Steelers fan.
And I laugh every time I write 19-0, Baby!
And his signing may induce Velasco to want to re-up in Pittsburgh even more. Great point, grw1960.
Marvin Lewis, by comparison, is .514 career win percentage over 11 seasons, with seasons of .250 and .267 in the past five years. Belichick is .655 and considered among the best in history. Lovie Smith was .563. Chuck Noll was .566 and Cowher was .623. And I just cannot in my mind figure out why people are bitching about Tomlin. Everyone has faults, but, really people. When your crappiest seasons are 8-8 you have no right to complain about your head coach.
I must have missed that press conference as I'm sure many others did because most people are still of the opinion that it's a joint effort between the FO, the HS and the position coaches. Cowher had a strong hand because of his battle with Donahoe in which he was able to force Donahue out and they hired Colbert. Everyone knew that if Cowher didn't like him he would be gone. Colbert will have a presser between now and the draft to discuss the team's draft direction. Why will he do that instead of the HC?
"There ain't nobody doin' nuthin' nowhere."
The infamous Pittsburgh quadruple negative.
It really is exciting to think about what this offense could bring to the table next year.
To me, this is one of the biggest gripes I have with Tomlin. I guess you could say this is where my tomlinism stops. I definetly agree that they let people walk that contribute on other teams. Sometimes that is need based (AQ, McBeam) but other times the player has talent(Ta'amu). I don't have an issue with AQ but big issues iwth letting a 3rd round guard walk after a couple years.
The other gripe I have is that when Tomlin was hired I read into the hire as "he is a secondary guru" and our secondary was struggling on a yearly basis if you recall. To some extend I don't blame him because they are not running Tomlins system therefore he doesn't have reign over the secondary choices, but i really thought he would have more of a positive influence. And there have been plenty of failed high draft picks in the secondary.
I could go either way on Harrison.
Both of our arguments highlight two pretty good staffs, and it is a good problem to have.
It took Cowher a while to get it right, and tomlin is being given the same privlidge. And I trust the rooneys decisions, why wouldn't I?
3/4 college players seldom get selected especially OLBs. JJ is an exception. ILBs from 3/4 schools get selected now.
I think you might be correct, but I really hope not. I'm barely sold on the projected starting five,(Pouncey and Gilbert seem to be injured more than the average bear and, just how long can Beachum be counted on to overachieve his butt off?); the backups are flat out scary. A high pick that actually plays that way would go a long way to let Munchak retain his sanity. The more I see about A.Richardson, though, the less I like him.
Oh I'm a tard? I took 2 consecutive seasons just as you did and Tomlin still hasn't done worse than Cowher. You getcha fuckin facts straight moron.
Sorry @SteelersDepot:disqus but this guy is a moron and if you wanna block me I can deal with that as well. #dulynoted
And when people throw the Cowher argument and say Tomlin is bad at clock management, I have to shake my head. Cowher was really bad at clock management but some people like to have selective memory.
Right after that Colbert said that he was responsible for that. Tomlin was just being a leader and trying to say the buck stops with him but we know that isn't true. If it were, why have Colbert around?
Agreed on the gripes. I have no problem in giving him some time to get it right. Just saying to the fanbase that until that time comes (if it does), expect mediocrity and many first-round playoff exits.
It's because Colbert is the "spokesperson" for the draft more than MT. That's also been a constant over the Cowher years, now even moreso because he's an "official" GM.
Stating responsibilities, yes sure. Both are responsible parties for drafting. But let me again go back to my initial point: if both parties are fundamentally responsible, then why the start contrast between the Cowher and Tomlin eras when Colbert was the constant? Inductive reasoning.
Well I wouldn't generalize it, I think skill level, potential, Combine numbers, and especially stats are the most important predictor of selection regardless of scheme. And how their body type fits into a scheme (e.g. being a 4-3 OLB vs. a 3-4 OLB).
I don't see how there is such a stark contrast. There were plenty of bad picks under Cowher and good picks under Tomlin. Let's call a spade a spade. You don't like Tomlin and most people that I have talked to that don't like Tomlin all have selective memory loss.
See above on my answers to srdan, including early and late round draft picks as well as premature releases of drafted players. It should be more than enough unbiased evidence for you.
The guard who was let go, Urbik was only here for the one year and was beaten out by Foster. He never really got much of a chance, he was drafted in 2009 and was waived B4 the 2010 season that was under Larry Zierlein .
Dude its your opinion but not sure who you are trying to convince but you stand just about alone. Every critical thing you say about Tomlin, you can easily find in Cowher if you watch his entire tenure in the Burgh and more. For you to talk about 8-8 season and not talk about all the departures, cap issues, injuries, etc. we've had is asinine at best.
You better go back and look at some of the personnel decision Cowher made starting with how long it took him to get Big Ben. Genius. Worse of all what you are basically saying is that the Rooney's made a mistake in hiring Tomlin and that they don't know what they are doing since they can't see but you can see it clearly that Tomlin should be replaced. Brilliant.
Go ahead with your Tomlin rant. He may not be a great coach but he is way better than most in the league. BTW since you want him gone lets hear who you would replace him with. I need a good laugh.
Great move. But that is not the issue of greatest need. Pass rush is. We need either Jones to look like Mr. Harrison or another impact D lineman. Heywood becomes a pro bowler when we get another lineman who can create matchup nightmare for the O.
Meanwhile look for Munchak to get 1500 or more out of Bell.
Sure and our franchise QB is getting younger allowing Tomlin to learn how to Coach!!!
Its not amnesia, he admitted several time that his players made up for his bad coaching!
I think the players stated focused and turned arround, he had nothing to do with that, Tomlin is What we all saw in The Baltimore game…
Just remember Super Bowl XL, the worst Rating of a wining QB, and they won because Cowher found a way to win the game even with Ben playing so poorly, and going back to SB XXX, Yes he lost it but, all his calls were just right, but O'donell gave away the game twice, now that is a Coach, just tell me What can you say about Tomlin?
Here is one, Fisher for example, with Ben and the remainings of Cowher's team would be great, time has passed and sadly we won't see anymore champion ships from Ben not with clueless Tomlin in comand, he just landed in Pittsburgh to justify the Rooney's rule!
It shouldn't had been crapy with a Franchise QB, just tell me a crapy season of the Pats with Brady, or the Colts with Manning!
Longer tenure of Cowher, lets wait and see how Tomlin sinks the whip and his percentages!
This is a very nearsighted approach to running a team. It is perennially attempted by teams like Washington and Cleveland. Fire coaches, bring in veteran QBs and players instead of growing your own…and so on.
These teams are looking for fans, may I suggest you trade in your terrible towel?
All of these silly arguments that Tomlin haters make are based on this this irrational thought that teams can switch coaches like socks and that systems don't matter. What you are suggesting is for the steelers to go against what they believe in as an organization. You want to get rid of the HIGHEST WINNING PERCENTAGE COACH IN STEELERS HISTORY for a new unknown commodity.
The steelers, benglas and ravens have had one coach each since 2006. The browns have had 6 or 7. Do you ever stop to think why they are always in teh bottom of the division every year. I'll give you a hint. Type this into google backwards: ytiunitnoc
I really believe that continuity is the source of al the success the franchise has had, but it is pretty evident his lack of football intelligence, and after the Ravens game his lack of integrity, when he arrived he said "I 'll take special teams under my wing" and guess What he never could get it fixed, the unleash hell in December, the O line poor draftings, to keep Worilds in the wrong side is poor evaluation and the list goes on and on, He has repeatedly quote that his players made up for his mistakes, so please lets wait and see how he sinks the ship. The team runs in cruise control with Ben and others, and he represents so bad the Ronneys family and all What they stands for.
Sure, I understand that but if you read the post above mine you'll see what I was referring to.
Yes I get it, how I miss that shin intensity!

Science and technology could drive the continent's future development, but creating the right environments and keeping Africa's youngest and brightest will be key.
Last month, the World Bank and the Rwandan government co-hosted a forum in Kigali with the ambitious theme of 'Accelerating Africa's Aspirations'. Bringing together ministers of education and higher education as well as academics and representatives from the private sector, the event was aimed at highlighting the role that science, technology and innovation could play in increasing Africa's productivity and growth.
"The importance of science, technology, research and innovation cannot be overstated," said President Paul Kagame, "they are critical enablers which shape the socio-economic transformation of nations. In sub-Saharan Africa they can drastically improve the living standards. But to unlock this potential, Africa must have well-trained science and technology professionals."
Similarly, Makhtar Diop, the World Bank's Vice-President for Africa, emphasised the "need to produce more graduates who can drive private sector competitiveness, find solutions to pressing development problems, contribute to faster and more inclusive growth in our African economies, and allow Africa to take its rightful place in the fully integrated global economy."
In recent years, African countries have recorded some of the highest economic growth figures in the world, but in many instances, these impressive performances have been driven largely by resource extraction. GDPs have risen, but often the growth has not been inclusive, jobs have not been created in sufficient numbers and non-resource sectors have struggled.
The March forum was partly an attempt to address this problem and encourage governments to train their young people with the right knowledge and skills to take advantage of new and more job-creating economic opportunities. "No country can prosper in the long run without paying attention to human capital," said Tawhid Nawaz, the World Bank's Director for Human Development in Africa.
"Fail quickly and learn quickly"
In the forum, there was a strong emphasis on education, and many believe African universities could be key to lifting millions out of poverty by training engineers, researchers and inventors who can drive economic growth in the future. However, there are many stumbling blocks that need to be overcome such as poor infrastructure, inadequate funding, a shortage of qualified academic staff, and poor salaries that contribute to frequent strikes.
These and other challenges currently contribute to many of the continent's brightest graduates emigrating to more developed parts of the world, hankering after opportunities granted by more appealing research facilities.
According to Akaliza Gara, a Rwandan tech entrepreneur and a youth member of Microsoft's 4Afrika advisory council, innovative African graduates have developed many new products in recent years, but prefer to work in Western countries where there is more support and more room for failure. "Loans are cheaper," she says, "there is financial support for the unemployed, and failing in a business venture is more culturally acceptable."
To get the most from its innovators therefore, African countries need to cultivate similar settings. "In order to inspire even more African graduates to innovate, we need to create spaces where failure is obviously not encouraged, but is safe," Nawaz said at the forum. "Spaces like kLab [an open space for tech innovation and entrepreneurship in Rwanda], where ideas can grow and be nurtured, where you can make mistakes and learn from them."
Clarisse Iribagiza, a globally-recognised Rwandan innovator and founder of the mobile app company HeHe Limited, also emphasises trial and error as one of the most important characteristics for successful tech businesses. "We need to experiment more and learn by doing," she says. "Fail quickly and learn quickly. People are too afraid to try new things."
"We need a more hands on approach in teaching STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths]," she adds, "practice instead of focusing on theory."
Teaching STEM
Better teaching of STEM in sub-Saharan Africa is also crucial to developing its technological potential. In October 2007, another forum in Kigali saw the launch of Connect Africa, a partnership aimed at bridging technological infrastructure gaps across the continent and supporting ICT projects. The summit led to Rwanda partnering with Carnegie Mellon University, a leading American technology and engineering institution, which opened a Centre of Excellence and master's course in Rwanda.
However, apart from some small successes such as these, there have been few effective investments in this sphere. For example, according to last month's forum, the proportion of sub-Saharan African students in STEM disciplines is still very low at around just 20-25%. Even in Rwanda, data from 2010 showed 25% of research being done in higher learning institutions was in the field of science and just 3% was in technology. Meanwhile, a brief released recently by the World Bank found that East African researchers in 2012 contributed just 0.2% of the world's output of STEM-related research.
"There is a lot to be done in terms of building capacity," says Bruce H. Krogh, director of Carnegie Mellon University in Rwanda. "One challenge within Rwanda is strengthening the education all the way from the very beginning through to university so that students are really prepared for the global marketplace."
"In ICT you are really competing with the world," he adds, "with somebody in Hong Kong, Singapore, in Silicon Valley... I mean the Internet connects everybody."
Help in being relevant and competitive is something that Guillaine Neza, a budding mobile app developer and a graduate of the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology, thinks training programmes need to be take into account as well as the scientific principles themselves. "Many graduates don't apply the skills they acquired because they don't feel confident in their field to match that with what's on the market," she says. "Some graduates don't even get enough skills that expose them to their professional development or help them align what they have with market trends."
Real action
Starting in July, Rwanda will host another event, this time led by the East African Community Science and Technology Commission, which is meant to promote and co-ordinate the development and use of science and technology in member-states.
According to Diop meanwhile, the World Bank is already working to support science and technology in Nigeria, Tanzania and Senegal, and will soon present an Africa Centres of Excellence Project bringing together universities across the continent.
There seems to be initiative and political will amongst many of the continent's policymakers in attempting to put an emphasis on science and technology going forwards, but for Africa's current and future tech innovators, the crucial thing is that this is turned into real action.

Biarritz v Harlequins - Live
80 Finally, a body is dragged into touch and the ref blows his whistle. Quins prevail under extremely difficult conditions. Biarritz at least manage to take a losing bonus point for their efforts. Thanks for joining us folks!
79 Biarritz struggling to get their hands on the ball, and instead forced to make tackle after tackle as Harlequins' forwards rumble forward.
76 Another scrum now for Quins and yet another penalty against Biarritz . This time it's too far for Evans to take a shot at goal, so sends the ball into touch instead.
73 PENALTY, QUINS. Oh dear, the Biarritz front row is penalised for dropping the scrum. Evans is instructed to kick at goal and doesn't disappoint the few Quins supporters in the stands. 9-16!
72 Line-out time, and Robson's challenge for the ball has forced a knock-on from his opposite number. So Quins will have an attacking scrum with the opposition's tryline in sight...
70 10 minutes left! Evans goes for territory, and times his kick to perfection as the ball rolls into touch just 10m out from Biarritz 's tryline.
68 But just like clockword, the home side's momentum is cancelled out with another vital turnover by the visitors. Take a bow Fa'asavalu!
67 Biarritz need to score next if they are to have any hope of winning this game as we edge closer to the last 10 minutes of the match. Raphael Lakafia carries two defenders with him as he powers into Quins' half.
64 Change now for Biarritz as Ngwenya makes way for Serema�a Burotu. Perhaps some fresh legs is exactly what the home side needs.
62 Oh dear, he's pushed it wide... and you can almost hear a pin drop.
60 The crowd get behind their home team and cheer them on with every metre gained. Now a roar erupts throughout the stadium after John Lacey awards a penalty to Biarritz, which could result in three more points for Yachvili...
57 DROP-GOAL, QUINS. Evans in the pocket, and bangs over a cheeky - yet crucial - drop-goal to extend his side's lead back to four points. He enjoyed that! 9-13
55 Evans hoists a high one, and the tactic has paid off as Brown chases and gathers. Quins put four more phases together as George Robson and then Joe Gray take it up futher. They've got the momentum behind them, that's for sure... but how long what it last?
53 PENALTY, BIARRITZ. Yachvili's golden boot does it again! Three more points for the hosts, who are now just one point behind Quins! 9-10!
51 Harinordoquy taking some time to get up, looks like mud in the eye. He was stuck at the bottom of a ruck, and as he gets to his feet he sees the ref has awarded a penalty to his team which is once again in kicking range for Yachvili.
48 Biarritz get their groove on, as Baby draws his man and puts Brew into space. The heavy surface underfoot slows him down, but still manages to put the visitors under some pressure, as he makes some hard yards for his team.
46 PENALTY, BIARRITZ. And the former France scrum-half does just that! 6-10!
45 Whoa! The Biarritz forwards put in a mighty big shove and shove Quins off the ball. Now the visitors are on the backfoot, and concede a penalty. It's bang in front of their posts, so no doubt Dimitri Yachvili will step up and add try cut the deficit to four points...
43 Barley three minutes in and we have the first scrum of the match following yet ANOTHER knock-on... it was Biarritz prop Ben Broster who put it down, so Care will feed the two packs.
Second half Welcome back! Both sides are sporting cleaner jerseys, but it won't last long as Jean-Pascal Barraque kicks off for the home team.
Half-time BIARRITZ 3-10 HARLEQUINS
40 The ref looks at his watch and decides to spare the players from getting even more drenched from the rain, after Evans hoofs the ball into touch. Quins in front, but it's still anyone's game folks! See you in a few...
38 We're just a couple minutes from half-time and no doubt both teams are gunning for a score before the break. Harlequins dig deep to survive another threatening Biarritz maul, and do well to turn over possession.
35 YELLOW CARDS. Trouble for both sides after Wenceslas Lauret and Joe Marler are sent to the sin-bin to cool off after throwing some punches. Both teams down to 14 men.
32 CONVERSION, QUINS. Evans lines up the tricky conversion from far out, but nails it! 3-10!
31 TRY, QUINS. Once again, it's Tom Guest who takes at the back, and this time the number eight bulldozes his way over the tryline for the softest of tries. But in these weather conditions, any five-pointer will do!
30 It's getting harder and harder to tell the jerseys apart out there! Care puts in a deft kick towards the corner for Williams to chase. Iain Balshaw has some work to do, and does well to slide the ball into touch 5m from his line... which means an attacking line-out for Quins.
28 Tom Guest takes at the line-out, and the forwards get the maul on... they manage to make eight or so metres before the French outfit push their opposition into touch.
25 Scrum-time and Quins win a penalty after the Biarritz front-row is pinged for early engagement. Evans knocks the ball into touch, and sets up a line-out just outside the visitors' 22.
22 The rain continues to pour down... but despite the poor conditions, both sides are willing to run the ball whenever presented with it. Though the end result remains the same after Beno�t Baby puts down the pigskin.
20 Chip over the top from Yachvili... Tom Williams takes and runs it back into the safety of his forwards. Care digs it out, and passes long out wide to Brown, but the ball hits the muddy turf and the full-back can't take. Aled Brew tries to stab ahead, but makes more of splash than anything else....
18 Line-out on Harlequins' 22, and it's Biarritz with the throw-in. Olly Kohn knocks on in an attempt to steal, so the hosts will have the put-in at the scrum.
15 PENALTY, QUINS. Nick Evans lines it up from bang in front and slots over his team's first points of the match! ...3-3!
14 Now the ball goes high, Mike Brown is underneath it. The full-back does well to take it in, and wins a penalty for his team.
11 PENALTY, BIARRITZ. The French on the attack once again, and this time manage to build a few phases together before a stray boot knocks the ball away from Dimitri Yachvili. The ref blows for a penalty, and Yachvili slots over the three points! 3-0!
8 Joe Marler on the charge now. The Quins prop steps out of one tackle but slips and loses the ball forward... Biarritz counter-attack, as Taku Ngwenya tries to get himself involved but goes backwards.
5 Now Quins cough up possession, and the Biarritz forwards get a maul going. They're 5m out from their visitors' line... the ball spills out on Harlequins side though, which allows Danny Care to clear.
3 First knock-on of the match and certainly not the last from these two teams after Biarritz centre Damien Traille can't hold on to the soap - er, ball!
1 And we're under way! Nick Evans kicks off for Quins in the heavy rain. The conditions here are miserable folks! Ball handling won't be easy, as Imanol Harinordoquy takes it in. The number eight is taken into touch, so we'll have a line-out early on...
Team news USA speedster Taku Ngwenya returns to the Biarritz starting line-up on the right wing with Iain Balshaw reverting to full-back. Former London Wasps prop Ben Broster starts at tighthead with Fabien Barcella on the opposite side of the scrum, with Imanol Harinodorquy returning at number eight and Raphael Lakafia moving to openside flanker.
Team news For Harlequins, England full-back Mike Brown will make his 200th appearance for the club, whilst Jordan Turner-Hall and George Lowe renew their centre partnership in midfield. In the forwards, there is one change as Tom Guest starts at number eight and is joined in the back-row with Maurie Fa'asavalu and captain Chris Robshaw.
Welcome Hello and welcome to the Parc de Sports Aguil�ra for this final round Heineken Cup clash between Biarritz and Harlequins! The reigning English champions have already qualified for the quarter-finals as runaway group leaders but they will want to secure top seed in the pairings. Qualification is a long shot for the French side, and they simply have to beat their hosts to come into the reckoning as qualifiers for the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

WarGames Zero Hour 1.01Jul 16, 2013 Full Version 10 comments
WarGames Zerohour release 1.01 This version includes new launch software which should make it easier to play the mod on more modern operating systems...
How it all started.
This mod actually started sometime 2005 as an idea in the mind of the someone you all mostly know as The Hunter alto the idea never gotten any form until early 2006 were I made the very first model for the mod and started working on organizing the mod and planning things by myself.
The mod itself is based of an old PC strategy game known as WarGames which was made by a game studio which was formerly known as Interactive Studios.
Alto the game was absolutely amazing and very ahead of it's time when it was released it never got the attention which it deserved (or at least not in my opinion) as many features of the game were seen in other RTS games way later and some I have yet to see in other RTS games.
The game.
The game itself is about the N.O.R.A.D. (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and the W.O.P.R. (War Operations Plan Response).
The N.O.R.A.D. represents the human side of the game which must protect humanity from total annihilation by the W.O.P.R.
The W.O.P.R. side is a race controlled by a big super computer and their weapons are state of the art high tech weaponry.
The W.O.P.R. mainframe wants to prevent war in the world by eliminating humanity and only the N.O.R.A.D. is capable of stopping the W.O.P.R. advance.
Anyway that's it for history about the game and the mod. With this project we want all gamers in the world to get a second chance to experience this game on a better capable 3D engine with all features from the original game restored which has lead us to create this mod. We all hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did making it.

Fellow fellow modders, community members and fans.This mod projects was originaly released durring a time when Windows XP was the dominant operating system.Because of this it caused abit of a problem once windows Vista, 7 and 8 came around the corner and broke much of the original launching software which is required to play the mod.
The re-release of this projects is there for not realy an update to the projects themselfs but for those users who had trouble getting the mods to work under newer versions of windows should now find it easier to play this mod.
Hope you all enjoy.

WarGames Zerohour release 1.01 This version includes new launch software which should make it easier to play the mod on more modern operating systems...
The music addon for this mod which will add the original game's sound track to this mod when installed.
The very first public beta release of the mod featuring the full NORAD army.
WarGames ZH showing some ingame action, especially the Sappers and Mole Bombs.
It is not "dead". It is on a hiatus.
i think this mod is dead because swr productions are working on shockwave and ROTR
No no this si first mod swr team abandon be4 they plan to abndon Shw and RTOR.
rotr and shw aren't abandon there are coming back too life already
The mod isn't dead, merely not being updated for a while... currently shockwave is the most popular zero hour mod, and anyone should be able to work out that if they want to keep it there, they will have to update quickly.
mod die hahahaha
nice one but i have question do mod die or some good peapols work on it ?

TANA Goldfields United Kingdom Extreme extraction
The increasing price of precious metals has prompted mineral prospectors to consider unusual places. Jon Evans looks into the future of mining
Mining is already a reasonably extreme activity, moving and processing large quantities of material in often unpleasant and hazardous conditions. But imagine how much more extreme it would be to mine at the bottom of the ocean or on asteroids in the depths of space. That is exactly what a few pioneering companies are planning to do.

Mdonya camp
... through the customs and catch a bus. A trip of about 1100 one way.In Iringa we drew money from our credit cards, R1 = 155 shillings, put in diesel which is much the same price as SA - just over R14 to the litre. I also went to the market to buy fruit - got naartjies, avos, mangoes, bananas.The drive to Ruaha was very interesting, only about 150km but took us about three hours. The Tanznian parks are ...
A Traumatic Poem
... spindly, each long as a pencil potruded from its sides, nasty and awful. "What is it?" I cried, nude as a baby I grabbed for my towel, "Someone, please save me!" My roommate was absent, and with no hope to come I called to my neighbors - for moral backup "Squish it!" They told me, yet hard as I tried My efforts proved fruitless, and I nearly cried Then in walked my roommate! Seemingly brave... But faced with the THING, her moral soon ...
Zebra Down on the Mwagusi
Wednesday (10/24/12) - We are up at 5:45 AM. Tea is brought to our tent at 6. Our escort takes us to the main camp and we are in the Land Rover by 6:30. There are six of us with Marc and Johannes. We drive back to the Mwagusi River where we saw Grumpy's pride planning the buffalo ambush last evening.
The large herd of Cape buffalo never came to drink last night. Instead, they moved deeper into the heavy brush. Instead, this morning we see a different and smaller ...
Finding Water on the Great Ruaha
... for a moment and I can see the water is actually flowing against our vehicle tires. This observation is important in light of the crushing effects of the dry season. Marc is right…there is still subterranean water in the Mwagusi River and it is close enough to the surface to save the animals, especially with the elephants' help.
There, on the bank, is a miracle. The Egyptian geese parents attacked by the jackal several days ago have survived and ...
Ruaha National Park (2nd largest park in Africa)
... go if we were to see the buck we wanted to see.
Another ranger from a camp further away (he is originally from the Hoedspruit area) told us that in all the years he has been here, he had never seen Roan Antelope. We kept the faith and continued looking for it anyway.
Much later we gave up the search.
Back at the bridge, some of the hippos were now out of the water. We spent a while there before leaving the famous ...

Programming in Objective-C 2.0
This is an eBook version of a printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.
Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development on the Mac OS X and iOS platforms. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that's based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on Apple platforms but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.
Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to the Objective-C language. The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday programming needs.
The second edition of this book covers Objective-C 2.0. It shows not only how to take advantage of the Foundation framework's rich built-in library of classes but also how to use the iOS SDK to develop programs designed specifically for iOS devices like the iPhone.

It's not playing for me, could you upload it onto youtube and link it.
This is a mod in progress for "Men of War: Assault Squad" changing the theme into the Star Wars universe with new high quality content, new non-linear RPG gameplay, and many new game mechanics!
It's not playing for me, could you upload it onto youtube and link it.
The lightshow...
Btw those poles which were glowing on the other side of the bridge.. Do they have any meaning?
No offence but I find your maps boring and simple=)
I hope it's only a place holder 'cuz those maps look like "Insert defence here".
this map looks pretty good all he needs is like to make it into an objective like infiltrating it and blowing up a power core or something like that. love the rang though looks good.
yes there will be multiple small objectives to do. like destroy something here, repair something there. goal is not to destroy every enemy and win the huge battle, but to survive this huge mess while you do those little quests :)
i ment range the way they fire across the huge gap unlike the normal men of war where they have to be 10 feet infront of you and UR BLASTING THE ****** AND YOU KEEP MISSING. love it now i can aimlessly shoot things from afar
hm, can't agree with you. I find vanilla mow missions very boring. I prefer having a sh*tload of different kind of objectives to do... but yeah, its up to you what to play
well hopefully you'll include a decent arsenal of gear you should have like a mobile armory truck or dropship and like ones got ammo and the other has like basic rifles mg's and other assorted heavy weapons. Like a supply chopper in vietnam >:O that would be epic like in order to call it in u need to destroy the anti air battery and then you can call it in.
at 6:30, what the **** does the red men have in his hand ? o_o
eletro staff maybe??
weed whacker? you have to keep the battlefield presentable you know He cut all the grass and bushes like Jodino said
no bushes nor grass?
on burned ground formed by massive destruction? def. NOT
Wow, what a laser show!
hey trooper i like the idea but i just dont get the star wars feel.. if you need an experienced mapper and a star wars nut im your guy, let me know via PM. i know what it takes to make star wars, star wars. thanks and good luck with the mod!
Will you include lightsabers?
This is gonna be great! Keep going!
Im pretty sure sandbags and barbed wire was NEVER EVER used in Star Wars
actually I have seen sandbags in clone wars. pretty sure barbed wire isnt that exotic to think of.
and we are not going for a "oh wait this hasn't been in the movies! cut it!" strategy ;)
oh and i am not using barbed wire on maps like death star etc, or where else you wouldnt expect it. but i said it before and i can say it again: this map is a WW1 styled map in the star wars universe...
will there be jedi in this mod?
I think maybe there should be stationary weapons. Such as the E-web blaster Images2.wikia.nocookie.net
this map looks insanely fun, but one thing, the rebel defences look far infrerior to the imperial trenches. is there any way you could even them out?
will there be an editor-like thing or be compatible with the regular assault squad editor?
I think I jizzed mys-*More blasterfire, followed by more stormtroopers and officers*
Yep, I just jizzed.
I always wanted to create a Star Wars map with some heavy armored trenches like in World War. So, here it is.

Kep is the smallest province of Cambodia and is located near the border with Vietnam. Its name means the 'saddle of the horse' and this 'new' province was only created in 2008 by royal decree.
Last century, Kep was a famous resort town for the French and Cambodian elite, but most of its infrastructure and villas were destroyed and sold piece by piece during the Khmer Rouges' reign of terror. Today, it has started to regain some of its past splendor due to its beaches, islands and National Park and is currently one of the fastest-developing touristic areas in Cambodia.

Movie Review: Chosin
CHOSIN This year marks the 60th anniversary of North Korea's invasion of South Korea, an event that caught the United States and its allies off guard. Although the U.S. ultimately prevailed over the Soviet-backed North Koreans and their Chinese allies, the first year in this three-year war was something of a death march for American soldiers, particularly in the brutal Chosin Reservoir campaign. In this superb documentary, first-time filmmaker Brian Iglesias and co-producer Anton Sattler, both recently retired Marines and Iraq War vets, ask a handful of U.S. soldiers to relate the war stories no historian has ever asked them to tell — of being surrounded, literally, by unrelenting Chinese soldiers in mountainous terrain with temperatures 20 degrees below zero; of having to play dead atop a heaped pile of slain comrades; of having to use the dead body of a buddy as a sandbag when bullets fly; and, in one astonishing tale, of being wounded and immobile inside a truck that's being set ablaze by the enemy. Miraculous, cinematically dramatic escapes abound in these stories, but there's no triumph in the eyes of the tellers — only guilt, remorse and pain. For these men, 60 years ago might as well be yesterday. (Chuck Wilson) (Sunset 5)
