5 Questions with Buffalo Rumblings
By ETVal Posted on Thu Dec 20, 2007 at 07:16:41 AM EDT
BBV: We know tackle Jason Peters will represent the Bills in the Pro Bowl. What other players who Giants fans might not be familiar with should we watch out for Sunday?
Rumblings: I'll give you two names - first, Jim Leonhard. The starting free safety took over when Ko Simpson went on IR after Week One, got injured himself, lost his starting spot to George Wilson (a converted wideout), then re-gained the starting spot when Wilson hit IR a week ago. Leonhard is a student of the game, a heady guy, and versatile enough so that the Bills move him around quite a bit. If the Bills can get in the face of Eli Manning, you can bet that Leonhard will be in the correct position to make a play on the ball.

Week 15 @ Cleveland
WOW! What a game! Shelby Edwards and I drove down Saturday night in order to beat the storm. We did, but neither us or the team could beat it out. After spending the day outside in the worst of the snow and wind we spent a second night in Cleveland. We made the best of it though! Drinks all around at Hard Rock! I hope we don't have to sit through snow like that for a long time!
