[NU Sports] It's a basic rule of Football Defense

[Michael Vance]

Which "him"?  Castillo?  I heard his name a couple of times, although I 
must have missed the NU reference.  I was in and out of the room during 
the game.

Having never had my "own" NFL team to root for (having grown up in 
Detroit and then refused to adopt any of the Chicago teams because of 
their rivalries with their Detroit counterparts), I became a Colts fan 
very quickly when I moved down here to Indy.  Between a Colts fan's 
dislike of the Patriots and having had LaDanian Tomlinson in my fantasy 
league all year, I kept forgetting that I was supposed to be rooting 
*for* the Patriots in order to bring the AFC Championship game back to 
Indianapolis.

Back on an NU note, Ulrich has gotten some quality PT with the Colts 
this year and his name mentioned favorably during a couple of 
broadcasts, including, if I remember correctly, the Monday Night game 
(national broadcast) against the Bengals a few weeks ago.

And back to Roy's original point: I've always wondered that myself.  Is 
it that d-backs are so conditioned to go for the interception?  You'd 
think that would be, as you state, one of the most basic conditional 
situations for the defensive secondary.  It's one thing if a linebacker 
forgets that, but for a d-back, especially on a long throw, it should be 
automatic to be cognizant of the down.
