	Yes - Zach has not fared well in the 3-4 scheme. He is,
    as expected, not able to fend off the olineman, and his
    blitzing skills are still what we fondly remember them to
    be.

	I remember one play he had against Philly where Zach
    threw out his hand, and managed to hit the ball. Of course,
    his back was to the ball. The announcers were all over that,
    talking about what a superb veteran play it was blah blah
    blah. I thought it was lucky. Had the ball been thrown 
    properly, it was six.

	Still, it was good to head that his migranes were
    caused by a pinched clavicale, I believe they said? Good
    he is over those. And boo that the Dolphins doctors did not
    find that.
