Here's another logo. BSL stands for Bath Scientific, Ltd. That's the company that built the machine that I run at work. I made this to use as a desktop wallpaper on the machines control computer. I know... I need to get over the whole chrome thing. I promise I'll start working on other types of materials.Thursday, January 29, 2009

J.Ro Logo
The 2009 season is about to start for the LGPA. I decided to make a 3D logo for my favorite golfer, Jenny Rosales. I used ornament material for the blue outline. I used a checkered carpaint Raytrace for the pink and a chrome material for the... chrome looking part. I'll probably make a desktop wallpaper available for download on her website.

San Diego Super Chargers...
What a great season it would have been if they went all the way. Oh well, maybe next year.
Those Steelers looked really good Sunday. The Chargers? Not so good.
Phillip Rivers was great when he actually got the chance to play. He had two plays that I think really messed up the Chargers chances. The first was in the 2nd quarter, I think. Vincent Jackson broke free on a stop and go but Rivers put a little too much on the ball. Jackson laid out and almost made a great play. If Rivers hits him in stride, he may have gone all the way.
The 2nd play was that dreadful interception after mini-me's great kickoff return. The thing is, it wasn't River's fault. That ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage and made like a punt with the ensuing hang time. Bad luck.
Rivers finished 21 for 35, 308 yards, 3 touchdowns and that lamer interception. Those stats look pretty good except that 62 of those yards came on Darren Sproles 62 yard "mercy" touchdown (if the game was close, Palomalu would have rocked him).
Darren Sproles, the hero of last week's upset of the NFL MVP was significantly less stellar. He only had 270 all purpose yards. You might think 270 is a lot... and it is. You have to remember that the Steelers scored 5 times and therefore had to kick off 6 times. Darren got 5 of those kick offs and 2 punts, racking up 164 return yards. The biggest return was the 63 yarder that was capped off by a crappy interception. There was also one punt he didn't get to return because Weddle thought he was playing soccer and tried to header the football. And don't forget the 62 yards gained on the "Mercy" touchdown.
The part of the game that really made me mad was the Charger's defense. Everyone knows the basics of the 3-4 defense. For those that don't, here's a quick explanation... the 3 stands for three down linemen. The 4 stands for four linebackers. The three linemen generally rush the quarterback or try and stop the run. The four linebackers are supposed to defend the short to intermediate pass and also plug gaps in the case of a run. Also, coaches sometimes blitz one of the linebackers so that there are four defenders to contain the quarterback. The trick of this scheme is to disguise which linebacker is going to blitz.
I guess that sounds crafty but it really isn't. Any high school offense line can defend against a basic 3-4 pass rush, even if one of the linebackers blitzs. If you really want an effective pass rush, you need to send more than just one linebacker. The Chargers, for some reason, don't do this. They only sent one linebacker on pretty much every single play.
I understand that the Steelers had established the run. I also understand that sending two or three linebackers on a pass rush when the offense decides to run can be really bad. But you at least have to guess and blitz the crap out of them every once in awhile... like on 3rd and 11 or 3rd and 6 or any of the other 3rd and long situations that the Steelers converted on with great ease because Ben had a ton of time in the pocket.
Maybe I'm on crack. Maybe I have this all wrong. After all, I'm not the football coach in the family... that's my brother Brandon. But it seems to me that the defense that did such a great job making Peyton Manning cry last week was a completly different set of guys for this game against the Steelers.
Maybe next year.
