...Super...

It's that time of year again...where we figure out what to do, where to go, who to cheer for. I think, like usual, I'm rootin' for the Essendon Bombers. Just cause they got a cool logo.

Okay, no...?

Getting serious, we've got the real inside deal here at the W.C.B. of Fjord. THE OFFICIALS WORKING THE GAME! This all important roster that has the outcome of every play, in their hands...and here it is.

Assignment Uniform number Name NFL experience Previous playoff games
Referee 127 Bill Leavy 11 8
Umpire 53 Garth DeFelice 8 7
Head Linesman 28 Mark Hittner 9 7
Line Judge 9 Mark Perlman 5 4
Field Judge 33 Steve Zimmer 9 6
Side Judge 97 Tom Hill 7 5
Back Judge 25 Bob Waggoner 9 3

I think the key here is going to be Hittner, at the Head Linesman position, but the Field Judge is also going to be a pivitol role. Now, Seattle's really got to contain Waggoner at Back Judge, and if they can go that, then they'll have a chance at some big gains. Talking with the Steelers yesterday, they were worried about DeFelice at the Umpire spot. They figure he's the key to the Seattle defence, and what they're going to do is every play - send either a Tight-End, or Fullback and make sure he can't get into the play, and make stops in the backfield.

See ya on the other side.
