I was fooling around with clothing to get a hold of DS and I put the v4 basic wear on genesis using the autofit thing and… it fit SO much better than it ever did on V4.
I'll admit I haven't seen much about what the fuss is about genesis and DS over poser is, but this functionality really floored me. I hope to run into more pleasant surprises.
Is there a way to use the autofit feature on older clothing? For the M/V/A/H3 generation? What about nearme?

On Tuesday, NFL Media draft analyst Mike Mayock held his first conference call of the offseason with the media prior to the Scouting Combine taking place and late in the session he was asked to give his thoughts on Notre Dame nose tackle Louis Nix III. While Mayock does list Nix as his top rated defensive tackle in his first position-by-position rankings for the upcoming draft, he doesn't sound totally convinced right no that he is a top 20 selection.
"Regarding Nix, some teams and general managers really like him as a prototypical nose tackle," Mayock said. "[He's a] big kid, he's got good, short area quickness for a 330-pound guy. He had a knee [issue] last year, flashed but didn't play at a high level all the time. He's got to be a little bit lighter. He's got to play at 330, so the question is can he gain an edge and push the pocket. If you believe in that, then he's probably a top-20 pick. If you don't believe that, he's probably not a top 20 pick for your team."
Mayock continued.
"One of the keys is keeping that weight where it belongs. He's a better player at 330 than he is at 350. When you put all the composites of Louis Nix together when he's healthy and in shape, when he plays with leverage and doesn't stand up, when you put that together, he's a top-20 pick. When you say he wasn't healthy and because the knee was hurt he wasn't in as good shape, there are teams out there that really like him and teams out there that say, 'No, I don't really see it.' The good thing for Louis is it only takes one [team]. I think teams are going to look real hard at him, what kind of kid are we getting, what kind of work ethic are we getting? He is a good kid and I think he will check out."
As far as the direction that Mayock thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers should go with the 15th overall selection, he doesn't sound totally sold on the idea of Nix being the pick.
"If you're going to live at 3-4, which they do, the nose tackle position is pretty important," said Mayock. "They like [Steve] McLendon. He's a pretty interesting guy. The only guy that's even worth looking at that early would be Louis Nix and you have to buy into the fact that you're going to get a significant number of snaps from him and I'm not sure you can."
So who does Mayock like better for the Steelers at 15? Virginia Tech cornerback Kyle Fuller.
"Kyle Fuller makes a lot of sense for what they do and how they do it," said Mayock. "He plays a lot like the kid [Keenan Lewis] they lost to New Orleans as a free agent. Fuller makes a lot of sense."
Throughout the conference call, Mayock sang the praises of Fuller, who he currently has listed as the No. 3 cornerback on his list of top draft prospects.
"The Fuller kid I really like," Mayock said. "I have got him as my third ranked corner. I think he's a first round talent. He's long, he tackles, he has ball skills. I think the key for him is what he runs that 40 in. If he comes in as a sub four, five, I think he's a first round lock."
Maybe Mayock's thoughts on Nix will finally cool Steelers fans on him. As I have stated all along, I will be surprised if he's the pick and won't be shocked if they don't draft a nose tackle at all. As for Fuller, I want to watch some more tape on him before declaring him a top 20 prospect. I will try to do that over the course of the next few days.
very interesting
I must be missing something with Kyle Fuller, I didn't see him as first round talent.
Fuller's game tape versus the Georgia Tech triple-option is very interesting. He played a role similar to Polamalu's when he plays from the box and attacks the backfield. Fuller had the physicality and instincts to play that.
He is a good hard hitting off cover CB but he can be an adequate FS too.
He would be a good day 2 pick but I like more Bashaud Breeland who is the typical day 2 Steelers CB with perfect size, body control, tackling ability, press cover skills and huge upside. Breeland's tape vs Virginia is fantastic.
Too many "if's" with Nix. If this happens and that happens he could be a player. Too much risk for my liking.
love mayock. the guy REALLY knows his stuff and is passionate. charles davis is the same way. the NFL network hit home runs with those two.
with nix's injury, i doubt he goes top-20. just not sure he checks out medically enough to warrant 1.15. now, in trade down, it might be worth it. just not sure today's NFL requires a dominant NT. teams trot out 01 personnel all the time…just too many 3 WR sets for me to take a NT in the 1st.
still thinking it looks like this at 1.15: evans, benjamin(although he looks to be slipping a bit), marqise lee, kouandjio or mosely. i honestly would love a trade down to pick up an extra 3rd.
love fuller as our 2nd round pick. not sure if he will be there though. he is a prototypical DL CB. great in run support, could coverage guy and decent ball skills. Labeau will have his ability to diagnose and run/hit.
No…you're not…I'd like to think he's a 2nd round guy. I will say this about him…he took the #1 WR in the 3 games I saw, a willing run support guy on the edge…I like the player for PIT @ 46.
Assuming he can get his knee back 100%, I think Nix will be a very good 1st down run stopper. Quick for his size, but he's not the 2nd coming of Hamp…I can't get off the Bama NC game…they ran it up the gut a lot and he nor, Tuitt represented themselves well imo…not worthy of the 15th pick
I've been cool on Nix since forever. Would I love a dominant nose tackle? Absolutely. But Nix is not Dontari Poe and he sure isn't Casey Hampton. And as has been noted before, the base defense has decreased a lot and you're rarely going to keep your NT on for all three downs. Outside of Poe are there many dominant nose tackles in the game right now that people think of? Mount Cody didn't work out that amazingly for the Ravens, Aubrayo Franklin used to be that guy for the Niners. I could be wrong, easily, but it really seems like the prominence of those guys has gone down. I certainly don't want to spend a first round pick on a guy with weight and knee issues who isn't going to make a big difference. I'd take Mosley, Benjamin, Clinton-Dix, Fuller, Ebron or really about anybody outside of a QB over Nix.
Not sure either is a 1st Rd talent… and I like Fuller
Agreed. I really like Fuller, but there's just no way he's a 15th overall pick. I think he'll run one of the fastest 40s if not the fastest of all the top CBs but we all know that wont sway the Steelers opinion of him. Would love to get him in the 2nd or a trade back.
I haven't seen much on Evans honestly so I'm uninformed but everything I've read is that there are questions of his work ethic, that for as big as he is he isn't very physical and he doesn't high point the ball well at all. I'd take Benjamin over him. Kouandjio is a specimen but honestly I think with Munchak being on board he can coach up Adams, Gilbert and Beachum enough to not need to draft anyone.
Unless the second coming of Rod Woodson is available in this draft, I'm going to assume the Steelers won't go CB for now. I think the coaching staff is confident in their ability to develop CB's, and will stick to their MO of developing mid round talent. We'll see what happens between now and the beginning of FA, because there's always the possibility that Ike could become a cap casualty. Even then, that still leaves two players that the team trusts as starters, with Gay and Allen. That might present a challenge at NB, but I can't see the team allowing Ike to walk, and then failing to add a CB in FA. Also, Shamarko Thomas is a player that they think can cover the slot as a NB.
It's not about Nix for me. As I mentioned just recently, I have not really seen the guy even play.
It's that if the Steelers will continue to play this 3-4 defense, IMO, they need a true NT. I believe Mac would be a very good DE.
So, if not Nix, then who?? And when?
Today's NFL doesn't require a dominant NT, but it does require a dominant D-line. A dominant NT is a nice thing to have, but the key is not having to make a huge investment to get one, unless you're getting a guy who has some versatility beyond just being a run stuffer. Haloti Ngata comes to mind.
Personally, I think the DE position has more value. I would rather spend a first round pick to get the next Aaron Smith, than the next Casey Hampton. If a 3-4 team has two studs at DE, then you can plug a guy like McLendon or Al Woods in at the nose, and be just fine.
I am with you but my problem is Nix isnt the guy and there isnt a real good one in the draft. I believe Mc will be our NT this coming year not because he plays the position great but because we have no choice in the matter unless we find someone FA which I doubt.
I remember the 'Bama game too. I seem to recall Tuitt getting most of the double teams, and Barrett Jones taking Nix one-on-one.
The guys that would most likely excite me in the first that should be available to us would be Gilbert CB, Ealy DE and either 1st round TE prospect Ebron or Amaro. I am not in love with most of the WR's but could live with Lee.
I agree. If we were talking about a Haloti Ngata type player, it would be a different conversation. I think anytime you're talking about a high first round pick, it needs to be spent on a complete player. If there was an elite run stuffer, who was also an option to rush the passer in sub-packages, then going NT in round 1 would be a no brainer.
I also think to many people are associating size with the ability to be a good NT. Joel Steed was a darn good NT, and he was 300 lbs when he was drafted. Technique and power are more important than mass.
Interesting. I watched some Clemson but didn't really key on Breeland so much.
I think Roby is faster, but I like Fuller better. If we could trade back and get Fuller I'd be happy with that.
What do you think of Dion Bailey, the FS out of USC? Converted LB, could have some nice upside. I'm thinking of a Fuller-Bailey combo in the draft to add some physicality.
Justin Ellis, Beau Allen, Villiami Moala, and others. I don't think anyone is saying that the Steelers don't need quality at the NT position. The issue is spending a high first round pick on a player who will only be a run stuffer. If Nix offered something as a pass rusher, and was someone you wanted on the field in nickle situations, then he picking him at 15 wouldn't be a question.
I think right now DE is a bigger need than most think. Hood may not be back and Keisel might be back. I think they will sign Keisel to a minimum but if they don't sign Hood the need is great. I know there are some guys waiting in the wing, but it is a gamble to assume they can take over. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them go DL 1st round by adding somebody who can contribute by the end of the year. CB value can be had in the mid rounds and I think they will bring in a replacement for Clark in FA. WR is deep this year as well. Go Dline and give our young linebackers some help. Also value in trading back and picking up a guy like Hageman.
Two questions: Will Nix be a better NT than McLendon?
Are there any NT's becoming available in FA that we could sign and move McLendon where he can thrive at DE?
Trading down…it could happen, but 15 is kind of a weird spot to trade up to. Not high enough to get a QB…the top DEF players worth trading for will likely be gone…unless someone falls in love with Ebron I don't see a trade partner on the horizon.
Lee is polished, but imo he's a slightly bigger A.Brown, RZ production worries me. Kouandjio…he's a RT in the NFL I think (give me Robinson if you want to go OT) Mosley, not as athletic as Ogletree…not sure he would beat out Williams to be honest.
I think you take Ebron @ 15, and comeback with Fuller or Pryor @ 46.
But see, that's one of the arguments that I have been debating.
If you watched the Playoffs this year, you saw that the interior of the Seahawks, 49ers and Broncos defensive lines were what shut down the opposing teams.
All of this talk about, 'the game has changed, it's a passing league now', are false. The NT may not be on the field on 3rd and long, but if the D-line is strong, 1st and 2nd down causes those 3rd and longs.
Defense wins championships. Always have and always will.
If a true NT is not there in the 1st, then we always take the BPA. But the need does not go away and Mac would be better on the end because he gets a push.
I like Pryor a little better than Bailey, but the thought process I like overall…there are a couple of S that should be on the board in the 2nd/3rd…I'm not that high on Clinton-Dix.
I think if Gilbert or Dennard aren't there, get the best possible defensive player… If not, trade down, especially since everyone wants Evans… If he is there, let the bidding begin.
This may be the year that changes. The need at CB is much higher than previously. I'd be shocked if a DB is not taken in the first two rounds.
Lots of teams try to trade down. It's not as easy as that though. Unless you're the Cheatriots, who seems to do whatever they like.
I just remember big holes all night, Teo getting flatten in the hole once, and very little mention of Nix…That was a troubling game if you like those 2 players as Jones was a 2nd or 3rd round guy maybe.
NT…look deeper in the draft @ some less known names…Ryan Carrethers from Ark St. or Justin Ellis, LaTech…rounds 4 thru 6…they have the build you want at the position. IMO anybody we get will have to be coached up to start (even Nix) so why invest a 1st round pick when you can probably get similar production later in the draft.
3/4 NTs are not high picks anymore. Poe being the exception, there haven't been any drafted. It's the trend in the league and as long as the rules are stacked to pass teh ball, I don't expect it to change.
The only one I can think of other than Poe is Raji, and what has he done? The commercial is pretty funny.
If you want to use the the 49er's and Seattle as an example, then let's look at why those teams are so stout in the middle. On paper, one is a 4-3 defense, and the other is a 3-4. In reality, they are the same defense. They both play an over or under shifted front, which puts the NT and RDE inside at the 1 and 3 technique. Those players are more than just run stuffers. They also have ability as interior pass rushers. The 49er's have Glenn Dorsey playing NT. Does he look like the prototypical NT? They brought him in so he, along with Justin Smith, could provide an interior pass rush, and fill a gap in run defense. The Steelers already have the guys to be successful in that type of scheme. If we really want to see the forest from the trees, then we also need to acknowledge that the teams you mentioned don't often ask their D-lineman to be responsible for two gaps. That eliminates the need for a "true" NT (what ever that means).
Also, debating the need to upgrade at NT, and debating on whether the Steelers should spend a first round pick at the position, are two completely different conversations. The Steelers can upgrade the interior of the D-line, without having to spend a first round pick on the position.
As far as your comment about playing strong on 1st and 2nd down, the problem with that argument is that there are enough teams that are just as likely to throw on those downs, as they are to run the ball. If the defense is going to play base in those situations, you at least need a player who is a threat as a pass rusher. That's what gave guys like Ngata and Poe value as high first round picks.
Exactly this.
It's not that a NT can't be a high pick, but it needs to be a player who provides value defending the run, and as a pass rusher. Poe and Ngata were both that type of player. In many ways, NT has become similar to MLB. MLB had lost value in the draft, because the position was usually replaced by a DB on passing downs. When you did see a team spend a first round pick at the position, it was a player who was good on running and passing downs.
Why is the need at CB any greater than all of the other years when everyone thought the Steelers needed to draft a CB in the first round?
We are saying the same thing.
DE…need, yes…but I wouldn't say bigger…what I see with our DL guys…of the NTs (Woods, McClendon & Fang) Fang is an inexperienced 28 y/o and Woods and McLendon are playing out of position…then we have Nick Williams and Arnfelt…also DEs.
Hood is really a 4-3 DT as well as Woods…if the draft is not the answer to get a legit NT, maybe should look @ FA options such as Cody or Raji as stop gaps.
Mayock is spot on his analysis on Nix, Interesting what Mayock had to say on Fuller and how he fits what the Steelers like to do.
I agree and I like the idea of going after a FA. Of course it probably won't happen but I think they need to get everybody in the right position and add some depth. Safety and NT are positions I believe they should address in FA- at least one of them.
Cbs is our weakest position
Hey Dave, can you take a look a Mizzou WR L'Damian Washington?
So what else is new? CB was considered by most to be the teams biggest need in 2011 too. Aren't you glad that the Steelers opted to take Cam Heyward instead of Ras-I Dowling? Cortez Allen has worked out pretty well too.
IMO..Nix is NOT a 3-4 guy…he is GREAT against one on one blocking but he doesn't keep his head on a swivel and gets swallowed up quickly when a double team comes, Steelers need a space eating double team taking nose tackle and if you look at the draft stocks there is a few guys that may check out, maybe a Hageman and there are others..
Every year, it seems Colbert gives a quote that the Steelers identify a "handfull" of "special" players, and hope they have a chance at one. No one seems to know what their definition of "special" is. I would think that most would already be identified by their body of work on tape and by direct observation. Combine measurables may be used to confirm their definition, or change it. Colbert has been quoted as this draft being "very deep" overall. 1.15 seems like a little low for a special player to fall, but every year, some team(s) seem to reach for players in the top 10, so maybe a gift will fall to them. I don't see Nix or Fuller being 1st round talent, let alone "special". But that's according to my definition of special which may be worth squat. With all the underclassmen opting into this year's draft, I suspect there will be more than a few 4th or 5th round talent that does not get drafted. Here's hoping the Steelers scouts do guality due diligence and have these players identified and on speed dial to sign as UDFA's asap after the draft. Especially those who play at positions of the greatest need. Get them to training camp and see what develops. This years draft may be known in the future as having the highest quality UDFA's in many years.
IMO…the perfect storm for the DL this season would be to cut Hood, get a FA NT, move McLendon to DE opposite Heyward (back those two up with Woods and whomever the next in line is), draft a NT in the later rounds to back up the FA and eventually take over.
Now on to fixing the OLB…lol.
IDC what you guys say about fuller and where he should be drafted….if mayock says he's going in the first round if he runs sub 4.5 then he is….mayock was the first person I heard say DJ Hayden was a first round pick, that Aldon smith was going in the top 10, that Chandler jones was going top 20, and that decastro might fall to the steelers…i trust mayock in this sense…
I've been pulling for fuller as our second pick for a while, mayock needs to stop hyping him up so that he will fall. I definitely think he is a 1st round talent though. I think people have questions about his speed like dennard so we will see what he runs
I'd much rather the Steelers draft Ra'Shede Hageman over Nix. Hageman isn't a slob like Nix, had good production, physically put together well, terrific run stuffer, offers a pass rush and is a mature person. He is projected to be a zero or a five technique in a 3-4 defenses which would be interesting if McClendon is being considered to play DE. A line with Heyward, Hageman and McClendon with Keisel, Hood and Woods backing up looks very good indeed. Could allow for Timmons and Williams to excel. I'm really warming up to the thought of Hageman or Ebron in the first if both are available I think Hageman is an immediate starter for this defense while Ebron may need to get worked in.
Ok ok I couldn't help it just had to poke some fun. I'm a little high (not in the Colorado way) on Ra'Shede Hageman in the first in that he projects well to play any position in the 3-4 DL. I certainly like him better than Nix he even offers a pass rush. I think he can start immediately as opposed to a CB being selected in the first (but I could be wrong).
And McClendon is cheep, doesn't have a lot of miles, knows LeBeau's rubics cube…i mean defense, and didn't actually do that bad in his first year of significant snaps. I think the rookie LB's and sub packages made him look worse than he actually was. He's capable of holding it down for 1-2 years if necessary. Not a critical need at this point…comparatively.
Why take a D lineman they're going to strip down and not play. I'd rather have Tuitt if they take a d lineman as he already played in a 34d. However I'm liking the idea of moving back then taking a Wr or DB. Pryor,Dennard,Gilbert.
Steelers could move back pickup a second then take Fuller
I agree that it is interesting that he fits what the steelers like to do. I expected the article to allude to the fact that we may draft in a different direction for corners (man) with LeBeau's imminent departure. But then again, the incumbent Butler, may stick with the same primarily zone style coverage scheme, and then Fuller would make sense. But I for one hope they go to the more contemporary man press coverage that gives rookie and veteran QBs fits, as opposed to try to bait them into bad throws with the zone.
But they don't start rookie D lineman
Agreed… Pryor or Bucannon would be awesome in the 2nd, though I think Pryor will move up draft boards after the combine
Arnfelt is who I'm counting on this season
Can't cut Hood he's a free agent. Signing Cody and moving McLendon is smart plus cheaper
Mayock is the shiznit…
never really interested in Nix and is it too much of a stretch to go with an economical FA NT for now and put him in the middle with Mclendon and Hayward beside him?
Woods then another year for Wiliams and everybodys first love Arnfelt, means we got the makings of a nice young hungry DL…
A very lengthy explanation that doesn't include LeBeau's scheme is of course different from each of the other's.
The point wasn't to say we should do what those teams do. Instead that having a stout interior D-line is still important these days, even with all of the passing, as those playoff games clearly showed.
I agree that a stout NT can be acquired in a variety of ways. The importance though of having one on THIS team, is as paramount to its success as having OLB that can apply pressure. Therefore, it's a very high priority.
Because we've had Ike Taylor for a number of years at that position and we no longer have a clear #1.
I like him too. I think he's a man-child that will only get more dominant once he gets some disciplined coaching.
Although, I thought he rated more as a DE, no?
Correct…how ever you want to slice it…no more Hood is the objective…tired of just a body out there.
The Steelers do not ask their NT to be a pass-rusher. Their assignment is to suck up blocks so others can rush the passer.
Bingo. That is my thinking as well.
With Ebron you get a very unique player. You have to think of him as a very very big WR. Not a TE. You line him up at the TE spot just so the defense is forced to put a LB or S on him. His abilities in the red zone and on 3rd down give him value at 1.15.
On the other hand, Fuller and Pryor are great players, but they don't give you value at 1.15. It's possible one of them falls to 2.15 but it would take a poor combine showing IMO.
That is why a trade down scenario is so enticing this year. I'm hoping san Francisco or Cleveland is looking to move up.
Hahaha. Awesome.
I want the call-in number for that conference call. Dude sounds awesome.
We'll have to see if Fuller does well enough at the Combine to rise enough to mid-1st round. As things stand now we have a good chance at picking him with our 2nd round pick. But again, a legit 40 time (for what it's worth) will increase his demand, which since he is a CB will make his draft status shoot up (see Xavier Rhodes last year).
I want no part of Kouandijo the man cannot defend a speed rush
As a Steeler fan you can't help but appreciate and covet Pryor's physical style. I like him a lot.
My 5 bits of sage advice to Combine-followers:
1) For every x number of prospects that blows up the Combine, half will make it in the NFL and half will be just "workout warriors." Accordingly, for every blue-chip NFL player that comes out of this year's Combine, half will do great and half will put uninspiring efforts.
2) 40 yd dash, benching reps, etc. mean jack squat for the vast majority of positions (at most DB > WR). More important is technique, form, and ability to learn/adjust to different NFL systems/schemes.
3) Most important thing to take away from the Combine is who has the most brains and self-motivation. Richard Sherman was absolutely on point when he said the LOB had All-Pro minds as well.
4) Don't listen to anyone's perceptions about the draft (especially Kiper and McShay, though Mayock talks more sense than both put together) except yours. They will all hail each prospect as a franchise-saving prospect with minimal weaknesses who "are able to contribute immediately". Watch the tape yourself and look for both their strengths and weaknesses.
5) Because of need in today's NFL (and historically), the Combine disproportionately helps the draft stock of CBs, OTs, and pass-rushers – so keep that in mind when unbiasedly judging a prospect.
Nope. When the base D is defending the pass, the Steelers ask their NT's to shoot a gap. That may or may not result in drawing a double team, but the objective is to get into the back field, and disrupt the QB's ability to pass the ball. In other words, rush the passer.
I won't even get into sub-packages.
Most years, Ike wasn't a clear #1.
LeBeau's scheme is different from each of the others? He doesn't shift the line into an odd front, and slide the weakside OLB near the line? He doesn't deploy a 4-3 under? In sub-packages, he doesn't line the DE's at the 1 and 3-technique, and have the OLB's playing a 5 or 7 technique?
LeBeau doesn't have a "scheme". He has a massive playbook that includes the full range of what can be run from a 3-4 defense. It is very much a hybrid defense.
The importance for the Steelers having a stout NT isn't any more or less important than it is for any other team. LeBeau adjusts to the strengths and weaknesses of his personnel. That's why he expanded the role of the DE's in the pass rush, among other things. Casey Hampton wasn't very good last year, which is why he wasn't on an NFL roster this season. The Steelers still managed to have a strong run defense. McLendon may not be as good as Hampton was a few years ago, but he's better than Hampton was in 2012.
I think you have an idea in your head about how the defense is deployed, it's just not based on what is actually happening on the field.
That has not been my understanding of Dick LeBeau's D and I've been watching him since he's been the DC.
Evans is not very quick or fast either. Looks like he's running in quick sand. At 6-5 he's just been the biggest WR on the field in college. Most of the DB'S are probably 6 inches shorter.
Dude! You're just trying to argue now.
Ike Taylor has been the #1 since 2005 when he was opposite Deshea Townsend for a few years, then McFadden and Gay and Lewis.
We will have to agree to disagree then. I see LeBeau's defense as a scheme – which is why the NT sucks up blocks, and why the OLB's are key to rush the passer.
Too many subs to go thru, so I'll let you do that if that's your thing.
DB's tackle the catch, do not press.
Zone blitz usage.
These are all schemes.
And last year's run defense was miserable, ranking 21st in the league.
Why would the O-line block a guy who's assignment isn't to rush the passer?
Ike got benched for 5 games in 2006.
Ike's been the #1 CB on the depth chart, but he hasn't always stood out as the clear #1. Cortez Allen is on his way to being the teams #1 CB. That will likely happen next year, whether Ike is on the roster or not.
This happens every year. You see tons of mocks, and you feel some May be reaches or a value.
Every year players rise and fall. At this time last year Jarvis was top 5 and Poe was borderline 1st rounder.
The Steelers need a player like Pryor. He would give them some physicality they've been lacking.
It's just a matter of how much range he has as they play a lot of 1-deep safety.
The zone blitz is a perfect example. Everyone in the front 7 either drops into coverage, or rushes the passer. There are a limited number of players who aren't dropping into coverage.
Let's use some logic here. If the NT isn't responsible for rushing the passer, why would the O line commit one or multiple players to block him?
Better watch – Davy will get ya Axed!
Wood can play. Hood had a terrible year and Keisel is hurt too much. It will be Wood, MAC and Cam on the DL for the Steelers.
So 243546, you seem to know a lot about football, smart guy. And yet, as I look around this board, you seem to jump from post to post to 'correct' the fan comment.
I mean, is that your thing? Is this just about being RIGHT to you? Because arguing over and over starts to feel like posting on a political board and trying to get the right or left to change their opinion.
You began by suggesting that my comment about Nix was only because I watched highlights and needed to know more before I suggesting what the Steelers pick in the draft. And that wasn't the case.
So, what are you after here man?
Ha! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Personally, I like to share my opinions and they are sometimes positive and sometimes not. But I will not argue with someone and tell them they're wrong or that they need to stop only watching highlights before they share an opinion.
And since this is a FAN board, there aren't any true experts here, you included. Unless you're employed by an NFL team or are a Pro scout.
Are you?
Feel free to find the comment where I said anything about watching highlights. I think you're confusing me with someone else. As far as the telling people that they are wrong, or claiming to be an expert, I suggest you look over some of your own comments before making that type of accusation. Also, please don't accuse someone else of arguing, when you repeatedly keep the conversation going, by attempting to point out why the previous comment was wrong. I would also suggest not injecting snark into the conversation, such as one of your previous comments starting with "A very lengthy explanation that doesn't include …".
As to the rest of your comment, nice ad hominem.
I'm certain this conversation isn't any fun for either of us. So let's end it and move on with being fans of the Steelers.
Nobody likes to be talked to in a "I'm going to put you in your place way" and we've both been kind of doing that. So peace, whoever you are.
All you guys arguing aside, it seems the Steelers GM just agreed with callentown:
'Colbert acknowledged that the Steelers only played their base defense about 40 percent of the time last season, and the nose tackle is the first player to come off the field when the Steelers use one of their sub-packages.
But he dismissed the notion that such math devalues nose tackles, especially on a Steelers' defense that is predicated on stopping the run.
"In a 3-4 defense you're still going to start with a nose tackle," Colbert told Pittsburgh reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. "You have to get into third-down situations, and those second-and-longs, too. If you don't have that player help you get to those extended downs then you're going to have problems.'
I don't think he disagreed with anyone, because no one said that the NT wasn't important. The debate is about whether the team should spend a first round pick in this years draft to get a NT. I named a couple of guys from previous drafts who I feel provided great value as a first round pick. My point is that there isn't anyone like that in this draft.
Talking about downs and distance andhow NT plays into it. Heard it on the radio and saw this long thing here.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
Final Word: Boston suspects' mother speaks out against U.S.
The mother of the Boston bombing suspects is speaking out, although I am not sure many here in America want to hear from her.
It's natural, of course for a mother to doubt that her sons are capapble of something as awful as the Boston Marathon bombings.
But in this case, she is not only going as far as saying that she doesn't believe they are guilty, or that she needs to hear from the younger son himself. No, she is going as far as saying that America "took her sons" from her family and she regrets coming here, to the U.S., in the first place.
She said America promised to protect her sons and now it is victimizing them.
Mom, I am sorry for the pain you are going through, but it seems pretty apparent to all of us, that your boys, no matter how wonderful they started out, have done the worst: They terrorized a crowd of race onlookers, killed an 8-year-old boy and two others and hurt hundreds more. They led the police on a days-long chase and held the citizens of Watertown hostage in their homes for 24 hours.
And still, your son who survived the police shootout is afforded all the rights and priveleges any other U.S. citizen would be in the same situation. Yes, the U.S. is the country who ACCEPTED this family, without prejudice, from a war-torn country.
Just like the Statue of Liberty says, we take many of the world's tired, poor, and huddled masses. And then we gave that most precious of gifts to your youngest son. We gave him citizenship. And look what he did.
You're sorry you ever came here? So am I.

(AP) E-commerce site eBay is asking users to change their password after a cyberattack compromised a database containing encrypted passwords.
The company says there is no evidence of any unauthorized activity and there is no evidence any financial or credit card information was stolen.
EBay says its investigation is active and it can't comment on the specific number of accounts affected, but says the number could be large.
Cyberattackers stole a small number of employee log-in credentials that gave them access to eBay's corporate network. The San Jose, California-based company is working with law enforcement to investigate the attack.
The database was hacked sometime between late February and early March.
EBay owns electronic payment service PayPal, but eBay says there is no evidence PayPal information was hacked.

Any thoughts on Norwegian black metal? I watched a documentary on it a few years ago and found myself you tubing some of the bands, I am not a huge metal guy but it was mostly OK.
i think Norwegian and Swedish and Danish language lyrics fit black metal best.
not a big fan of black metal, i like melodic black metal a whole lot more. i would say that the only black metal bands i truly enjoy are Bal-Sagoth and Cradle of Filth.
i've always been amazed that Bal-Sagoth isn't much, much bigger among the black/death metal world than what they are, but i guess it's because they don't cover anything resembling normal black/death metal content.
new Eluveitie single/video:
Coal Chamber-Loco
I can't believe I feel compelled to put this disclaimer on a heavy metal thread, but it is RZ: be warned adult lyrics ahead.
Good cathartic energy!
Anybody check out Heavy Metal Television yet?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk HD
No, but I am now. I will check in later.
It is worth checking out.
I am only an hour in, but it has a wide range of "heavy metal" from Led Zeppelin, The Scorpions and Disturbed to Metallica, King Diamond and Iced Earth. It is clearly heavier than anything on the radio, but to call everything heavy metal is quite a stretch.
The early return gives it a 6.5 out of ten. It is clearly listenable for a hard rock/heavy metal fan, but it has no discernable flow to it.
I'm really not sure how I hadn't heard of these guys until recently: Volbeat
This is a pretty cool song:
very funny
Ramstein - Keine Lust

First, the group from which I took my username:

I posted Amaranthe earlier. Great band.

I saw the following bands this past week on Black Friday. Great show.

A little heavier than my usual listen, but they were excellent live.
Weird. Good. Fun. Alestorm seems to enjoy beer, ale and rum. How can that not be good?
Epica-Serenade of Self-Destruction
I know I have already posted Epica, but after seeing them, again, on Friday I felt it would be OK. Simone is awesome.

Jack Foster Releases SAUL A MAN OBSESSED
Saul was an intense, scholarly young man, raised in a devout Jewish home where he was encouraged to study his family's traditions and history, notes this new novel. Ultraconservative, Saul self-identified as a Pharisee, and his endless curiosity was piqued when he learned of the execution of a man called Jesus by the governor, Pilate; when Saul happens upon the trial of Peter, one of Jesus' close associates who argues that the Pharisee leadership played a role in the execution, he's baffled. What did the Jewish leaders have to do with affairs of state?
Determined to learn more, Saul embarks on a quest for knowledge that takes him down roads he never dreamed he'd travel. With permission from the Pharisee leaders, Saul decides to go on a fact-finding mission to follow the activities of Peter and his followers, with the intent of capturing them and returning them to Jerusalem. As he moves from city to city with the men, Saul is suddenly stricken blind. Frightened, and convinced this is the action of God, Saul aborts his mission and prepares to return home empty-handed. Miraculously, one of the followers of Jesus appears at his doorstep, insisting he's been sent by God to restore Saul's sight. This act led Saul to take Jesus into his heart and join his followers. As the years pass, Saul shared his testimony and encouraged others to embrace Jesus. Saul's path was not smooth, but his belief in Jesus was unshakable.
"Saul: A Man Obsessed" presents an interesting theory about the personality of one of the Bible's most prominent figures, the Apostle Paul. Author Jack Foster, Ph.D., has been the minister of three protestant churches as well as an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Youngstown State University. Foster was a public policy consultant on education and criminal justice issues at the state and national levels, and he served as a cabinet secretary for The Commonwealth of Kentucky for four years. Foster's deep interest in the personal life of the Apostle Paul led him to write this, his first novel.

I've been trying a lot of new recipes lately — some have been good, some not so good, but only a couple really impressed me. Like these apple crumble bars. They taste like apple pie but are so much easier to make.
Cinnamon-Apple Crumble Bars with Vanilla Icing (click to print)
makes an 8×8-inch pan
adapted from What We're Eating and this post
3 medium-sized fuji apples, peeled, cored, and cut into a 1/2″ dice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/4 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon melted butter
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
For the apples:
Place the apples, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl and toss to coat until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
For the crumble:
In a large bowl, blend together the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt using a pastry cutter until the butter is incorporated and there are crumbs the size of peas. Add the egg and lightly stir until just incorporated.
Reserve 1 heaping cup of the crumb mixture. Pour the rest of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan and gently press the mixture into the pan to form a level crust. Next, evenly distribute the apple mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the apples are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
In a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add the milk, vanilla, and melted butter and whisk until a creamy glaze forms. Pour the glaze into a small plastic bag. Snip off a small corner of the bag and gently squeeze and drizzle the icing over the bars. Let the icing set for about 10 minutes then serve.

Dynamic Gallery Solution?
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone here uses some sort of PHP script to maintain a dynamic online gallery, where you don't have to edit HTML every time you add an image. I've looked at a few different scripts for achieving this, but there are hundreds of scripts available, and it's not easy to find one that is both easy to install (for the programming illiterate) and feature rich.
Thanks in advance,
Rich Smith

City to take final vote on tax rate
HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - The Henderson City Commission on Tuesday was to consider final reading of an ordinance setting the tax rate for 2012.
Two weeks ago, when the commission voted to set the compensating rate, Commissioners Robert Pruitt and Alan Taylor were absent. Mayor Steve Austin and Commissioners Mike Farmer and Robby Mills voted to approve the compensating rate at the last meeting.
The compensating rate is geared to bring in approximately the same amount of revenue as the previous year's tax rate, not counting changes in the assessment or new growth.
It is usually considered less controversial than taking the rate that allows 4 percent growth in revenue, which is the highest that can be taken without it being subject to voter recall.
The city commission usually takes the 4 percent rate, although since the economic downturn it has held the line by taking the compensating rate. The current city budget was predicated on taking the 4 percent rate, but City Manager Russell Sights and Finance Director Robert Gunter concluded that the lower rate could be taken without having an adverse affect on city finances this year.
The compensating rate would be 54.2 cents per $100 valuation, which would represent a 2.1 cent increase. That would produce revenue of $5,968,972, up $262,456 from the previous year.
That would create a tax bill of $54.20 for each $10,000 worth of assessed value. For instance, a house valued at $100,000 would have a city tax bill of $542. The previous year's rate created a bill of $52.10 cents per $10,000 valuation.
The city commission meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the top-floor meeting room of the Henderson Municipal Center.
Other items on the agenda include:
Dump truck: The commission will consider buying a 1-ton dump truck from Town and Country Ford of Evansville for $41,255. The truck will replace a 1998 model with more than 100,000 miles that the Public Works Department has been using.
SUV purchase: The commission will consider buying a Ford Explorer from Town and Country Ford for $23,550, which will be assigned to the assistant fire chief.
Gas Department: The commission will consider buying two trucks for the city Gas Department. One would be a Ford F-150 extended cab, which the city would buy from Sam Swope Auto Group of Memphis for $23,120; the other would be a 1-ton Chevrolet cab and chassis bought from Bachman Chevrolet of Louisville for $29,796, which would later be equipped with a utility bed through a separate purchase.
Fire uniforms: The commission will consider awarding a contract to Siegel's Uniforms of Evansville for the purchase of uniforms for the Fire Department. The department expects to spend $40,783 in the coming year on uniforms.

Originally written on The Cardinal Connect | Last updated 11/5/12
Jody Demling of CardinalAuthority.com broke the news earlier this afternoon that the University of Louisville has lost their appeal with the NCAA in regards to the eligibility of freshman center Mangok Mathiang. Mathiang was ruled ineligible by the NCAA clearing house in mid October. Louisville appealed the decision, but unfortunately the clearing house stood firm with their decision. Mathiang will sit out this season and have four years of eligibility starting in 2013. Rick Pitino mentioned in the pre-game show last week that regardless of the clearing house's decision, he would have redshirted Mathiang anyway. He also said that they've been very pleased with Magok since he's arrived to Louisville. Pitino went on to tell Paul Rogers that the staff couldn't have found a better center had they tried to sign one in the 2013 class.

I have been on this site before and had mostly...
I have been on this site before and had mostly positive experiences, so I figured I'd try it again in the new year. The best words to describe me are honest and loyal. I am very good at not getting too worked up about things and would like to think I am very level headed...I love to have good times in casual environments, whether it's having a few drinks with friends, spending summers at the beach, going to a ballgame, or enjoying a nice night out at a restaurant or show...I take my job seriously, but when I'm not there, I shut it off 100%...I can usually make people laugh and for the most part, I'm the guy who gets along with everyone... At this point in my life, I am pretty confident I know what I'm looking for in a woman. I'd like her to be smart and have a good idea about what's going on in the world. She doesn't have to agree with my views, in fact, I find it more fun when she doesn't as I love great conversation and hearing what everyone has to say...I love sarcasm and wit and love a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously...Finally, a good strong personality is a must. I'm not into shy or timid at all... While I am a sucker for having a few drinks on a Saturday afternoon, unfortunately most of my friends have gotten married, so it's harder and harder to find people to do this with! Also, I do watch a decent amount of tv and besides ball games, I' m usually watching Homeland, Banshee, and Modern Family these days. One more thing, I am not tired of meeting women at bars or through set ups. I'm on this site because I feel it's a good way of meeting someone who is looking for the things I am. I'm genuinely looking for someone to settle down with, so if you're fun, and think we'd get along, definitely get in touch!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I like Dogs, Other
I love everywhere and everything in New York. Every day there's somewhere new to try...During the summer though, I like to get out of town and spend much of my time at the beach as humanly possible...
Without a doubt, my family and friends are my favorite "things"...the Mets on a Saturday afternoon in the summer and the watching the Jets in fall...love great restaurants, finding new ones, Sunday brunch at Freeman's, and of course, wine...
I am a standard guy who is into all sports...However, I also love to travel, go to the movies, see Broadway shows...And I do love my nights at home on the couch watching movies...Love the beach all year round and spend a lot of time in Manasquan, NJ
I read the NY Post daily. I also just finished a really interesting World War 1 book. Other than that I haven't read a book in a while, I guess I probably should though

I was unsure of the design, until I saw the concept in person. Beautiful car...
Dec 27, 2012 8:52 am
I very much like Alfa Romeos, but I find the 4C's styling very difficult to love...
Dec 27, 2012 7:14 am
Alfa Romeo think this car is a 4gone Conclusion; that it would outsell the opposition, namely Lotus's groundbreaking Elise. However, they need to make it first and hope that it would actually be reliable enough to get anybody's attention at all! Great promise yet to be realised; the jury's out on this one!
Dec 27, 2012 6:23 am
This needs to cost over a third less than the base F-Type. Different cars I know, but nobody is going to choose this over the Jaguar.
Dec 27, 2012 6:17 am
World is changing and Alfa needs to adapt
Dec 27, 2012 5:21 am
Sorry Alfa, but this car is ugly. You can make a lot better looking cars . Analyze this project once more...
Dec 26, 2012 5:40 pm
On the contrary, it's beautiful just like 8C Competizione, thats the power of extravagant design.

Rhinoplasty of the Future
Dr. Rohrich said the ultimate goal of The Rhinoplasty Society and plastic surgeons who practice rhinoplasty should be to use open-technique rhinoplasty to dramatically reduce the need for corrective procedures, as well as move even further away from the non-individualized rhinoplasty of the past.

Facing Sofas….
Some of the comments I got on my living room post got me thinking about the furniture layout in the room. The room has no wall for furniture to sit against. One wall has an 8′ opening to the foyer, one an 8′ opening to the family room, one a french door centered on the wall and the final one has the fireplace. So, the layout needs to float in the room…..and the back of a sofa is going to face somewhere….sigh. And if it backs to an opening it needs to be centered…. With all of this in mind….I went in search of images of room layouts with facing sofas.
Architectural Digest, via
Elle Decor, photography by Kate Martin
After moving furniture around for a few days, bringing a sofa down from my office, taping things out….playing with my floorplan software I have come to the conclusion that I like the two sofa look for this room. What I, personally, do not like is two mismatched sofas–which is what I had before. Notice that all of my inspiration images have matching sofas. The ones I found with mis-matched sofas didn't please me as much. So, now I'll be ordering another of these….to face the one I've already got.
The pink silk on the existing one is going…..and they'll both be upholstered in a solid linen. How is that for a 180? I loved that pink silk and it went so well in our old house where it really was my only pop of pink. But, to be honest I've got enough of it going on at this point and I'd rather keep the upholstery in the room calm so that the drapes, art and pillows can shine. It is definitely a work in process around here.
What do you think of the facing sofa arrangement?
P.S. Check back if you are interested as I have another fabric to list this afternoon. I am definitely seeing progress in the dwindling down of heaps of "stuff" I've got to shed in my office! (Actually all over the house….as of this weekend we actually have both cars in the garage again….something we haven't been able to do since the remodel). In any case, I will probably list a bunch of fabric this week and then be done with it for a while! So I hope the extra posts aren't annoying you!

Microsoft names Satya Nadella new CEO
Microsoft has named Satya Nadella as Chief Executive Officer effective immediately, after a five month long search to find Steve Ballmer's successor.
Nadella joined the compnay in 1992 and was charged with overseeing the company's move to the cloud and the development of the cloud infrastructures that support Bing, Xbox, Office and other services.
"During this time of transformation, there is no better person to lead Microsoft than Satya Nadella," said Bill Gates, Microsoft's Founder
Nadella is the third person to lead Microsoft since Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded the company in 1975.
Firms to be able to tell public some spy-related details
Technology companies have reached a deal that will allow them to tell the public in greater detail about the spying-related court orders they receive, the US Justice Department has said.
The agreement would settle demands from companies such as Google and Microsoft for more leeway to disclose data about the court orders.
Companies will now be able to disclose:
- The number of orders from the government related to criminal activity
- The number of orders from the government related to secret national security
- The number of orders from a foreign intelligence service related to secret national security
- If those orders covered just email addresses or further information
Microsoft to 'distance itself' from Windows 8
Microsoft is expected to drop the Windows 8 brand following user criticism since its high profile launch in 2012.
The operating system was tipped to secure the technology giant's place on the tablet market, but sales have been poor and customers have not responded well to its colourful tile interface and lack of many Windows staples, such as the 'Start' button.
An update, Windows 8.1, was released last year but the company is ultimately expected to scrap the brand for a new operating system, codenamed Threshold. It is expected that the replacement will simply be called Windows 9 when it is rolled out in 2015.
Respected Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrock wrote on his website: "To distance itself from the Windows 8 debacle, Microsoft is currently planning to drop the Windows 8 name and brand this next release as Windows 9. That could change, but that's the current thinking."

XBox One and Playstation 4: The reckoning
Microsoft's XBox One and Sony's Playstation 4 face off for the top console spot this Christmas, but how do their features compare?Read the full story ›
XBox One vs Playstation 4: What the experts think
Microsoft's XBox One has launched a week earlier than Sony's Playstation 4, but which console will do best in the Christmas shopping wars? The experts take a closer look.
"The Xbox One is the more ambitious console, but it just doesn't quite manage to follow through on all of its potential. Yet.
"The PS4 on the other hand might have less media and voice control powers, but its beefier specs promise a slew of eye-watering exclusive titles further down the line."
"In terms of functionality, polish, and games, the Xbox One is the better console.
"The Xbox One is a better launch-day console than the PS4, but I don't think we'll see a real leader emerge for a year or two: Microsoft needs to push a lot of software patches, and Sony needs to publish some games that really take advantage of the PS4?s superior hardware."
"Microsoft has made bold promises of dedicated servers for multiplayer games and it has the track record to back them up.
"If online mutiplayer is more important to you than anything else, we'd be leaning towards the Xbox One."
"Both systems are evenly matched in many respects and should be able to usher in the next generation of gaming that the [Nintendo] Wii U hasn't been able to deliver."
Xbox One: Key features of Microsoft's newest console
The new Xbox One console costs £429, and comes with one controller. Here's what users can expect:
- Voice and gesture recognition
- 500GB hard drive
- Video recording capability of gaming - up to 30 seconds
- Snap feature allows users to run two applications at once
- Runs TV Kinect-powered
- Launches with three games: Dead Rising 3, a zombie survival game; Forza Motorsport 5
US fans wait in line for new Xbox One
Armoured vehicles delivered Microsoft's new Xbox One to a launch event in New York as US fans queued up to buy the eagerly-awaited console, which went on sale at midnight.
The Times Square event followed the same theme as an earlier launch in London, with actors dressed as characters from the Xbox One game "Ryse: Son of Rome" and as zombies from Dead Rising 3.
Dedicated gamers donned gloves and hats as they brave hours in New York's chilly autumn temperatures to ensure they got hold of the $500 (£309) console.
America prepares for Xbox One launch
Gamers in the US took to Twitter ahead of the midnight launch of the Xbox One in New York and Los Angeles.
Microsoft's eagerly anticipated new console went on sale in London at 12pm.
I bet the First guy in line for the XBox One in Times Square is either A. unemployed B. Single or C. All of the Above.
Only thing that's preventing me from running out and grabbing an Xbox One tonight is that $500 price tag.
This launch special for Xbox One just feels awkward..
Xbox One is 'built for the future' say makers
Microsoft's corporate vice president Phil Harrison - a former director at Sony - described the new Xbox One as "built for the future" as the eagerly awaited console hit the market.
Xbox One is a complete, all-in-one system which has the best games, the best online service in Xbox Live, the best entertainment experiences and is built for the future.
With the strongest line-up of games we've ever seen for a new console, pre-orders from fans across the UK are at unprecedented levels...
The games industry is evolving and growing fast, and we are proud to have so many British developers and creators helping to drive the new Xbox One era.
Thousands gather for Microsoft's 'best' Xbox One
Thousands of gamers flocked to the midnight launch of Microsoft's hotly-anticipated Xbox One in London, as the technology giant hailed the new console "the best".
Singers Plan B and Katy B provided the entertainment, along with performers dressed as zombies from Dead Rising 3 and a Roman legion from Ryse: Son of Rome, while England footballer Andros Townsend battled it out on stage with a competition winner.
With the launch of Sony's PS4 next week, Microsoft has a head start on its rival in the run-up to Christmas.
"We're proud and excited that Xbox One is going to be the biggest launch in Xbox history," Microsoft's Phil Harrison said.

I love this pattern. I've seen it referred to as "Box stitch" and I've used it for several projects. It's kind of a take off from the traditional granny but gives a more solid fabric which holds it's shape nicer than a granny (which I always find stretches a lot). Very nice. . .

I am looking for recommendations on carriers that are NOT "crotch danglers". I had a bjorn that I barely used bc I was not aware of the implications of these types of carriers and the effects on the hips until after I purchased it. I also have a wrap but in FL you suffocate in them, especially in the summer.
I am thinking maybe an Ergo. Suggestions please!!! :)
