Buffalo Rumblings Exclusive: Interview with Paul Posluszny

Photo Courtesy: BuffaloBills.com

You know him as the Buffalo Bills' second-round pick in the 2007 Draft. You know him as a college football legend from Linebacker U. Yes, folks, Paul Posluszny himself was gracious enough to take a few moments of his precious time to answer six questions posed by yours truly for this site. (If he struggles at any point this season, feel free to blame me for keeping his nose out of the playbook - because if he wasn't answering my questions, you know that's exactly where his nose would be).

Right up front, I would like to thank Paul for taking the time to answer my generic run-of-the-mill questions. I'd especially like to thank Pete Ausiello, President of B&G Sports Memorabilia, LLC (the official representative of memorabilia, collectibles, appearances and the official website of Paul Posluszny), without whom this interview would not have been possible.

Buffalo Rumblings: How is your grasp of the defense coming along?
Paul Posluszny: "Pretty well - each day I feel more comfortable with the system."

BR: What is your take on the defensive coaching staff thus far?
Paul Posluszny: "I feel the coaching staff has done an outstanding job - especially working with the rookies to understand the schemes. They know what it takes to win and explain the system to us so we understand it".

BR: What are your goals for this Friday's pre-season game against the Saints?
Paul Posluszny: "I want to be mentally perfect. I want to be able to read & react and be physical. I'm looking forward to going full speed against a different opponent."

BR: Which coach do you prefer - Dick Jauron or Joe Paterno?
Paul Posluszny: "No preference. Both have completely different coaching styles. Coach Jauron knows how to manage the team and how to handle the players and Coach Paterno taught me a lot on and off the field during my career at PSU."

BR: What one thing has impressed you about the Bills organization thus far?
Paul Posluszny: "How the players are treated by the organization. They really take care of us and have everything we need on and off the field. I have really enjoyed my time with the Bills."

BR: Who is the toughest Bill to defend against?
Paul Posluszny: "Roscoe Parrish - he is the quickest athlete I have ever competed against."

Once again, a huge thank you goes out to Paul Posluszny for taking the time, and to Pete Ausiello of B&G Sports Memorabilia for putting this interview together. Good luck this Friday, Poz - us Bills fans will be paying close attention and cheering you on!

This is awesome.
I had a sneaking suspicion that it was going to be Poz.  Obviously his answers are generic and only semi-informative, but just the fact that it is an interview is great for the site.  

P.S. I love that he said that Roscoe Parrish is the quickest athlete he's ever faced.  This is the man who has faced quicksters like Steve Breaston and Ted Ginn, Jr. in the Big Ten.  Wait till he sees Reggie Bush on Friday, maybe his answer will change.

Good job, Brian. This is really cool.

That's just Paul
Paul, by his nature, isn't the type of guy who gives memorable interviews. The best interviewees are guys who are flamboyant, witty and usually are idiots. Jim Kelly is a big doofus, which makes him a great interview. Paul is soft-spoken, team-oriented and lets his play speak for him.

Mike from Black Shoe Diaries, SB Nation's Penn State blog, says it best:

He always was a pretty boring interview. He doesn't talk much and pretty much gives the canned "Rah Rah Team" answers. He'll never badmouth a teammate, coach, or opponent. I miss Paul already. *sigh*

Great interview
Like said before, perhaps only semi-informative, but its a start and I like to hear the young guys who are going to be the face of this team for some time.

Gotta Love the Roscoe bit, we have to get him the ball as much as possible

The Bills can win every game
