    - This is typically where I post lyrics from a song by one band for the entire season.  One year, I did movie quotes, but that was harder.  In the past, I've used the Grateful Dead (Always for you Bill), Dave Matthews, and Barenaked Ladies.  This year, I haven't decided what I'm going to do.  If you read this and have ideas, let me know.  I'll post this same message in all three game recaps and see if there's a consensus. 

     For the Pre Season

     

    Buffalo Springfield

     

    There's something happening here.

    What it is

    Ain't exactly clear.

  2. If my thought about Ertz is waiting it out until his wife plays in Olympics is correct. I was curious about the dates.  Bill camp starts 27th, practice 30th.   Women’s soccer 21st, if they go as far as gold medal game, Aug 5th.   If there is a signing it likely will be after their last game.   At this point it may be about optics to the fans,  if he signs and does not report or we let him off hook.  It’s more acceptable for a guy to hold out to the fans, to not report, to go to olympics would be indefensible.  This may be a reason we do not see any movement now.

  3. Was looking around online and came across this quote with link. (Chad like him when he played for him but said this)

     

    Pennington’s one concern was that Saban named Daboll quarterbacks coach as well as offensive coordinator. He said he wasn’t sure about the coach’s ability to help QB Jalen Hurts with his technique or mechanics.

    “They may be doing that in the future,” Pennington said. “I don’t think (Daboll’s) expertise is in fundamental quarterback work or being a quarterback technician. I do think he can improve the quarterback from a scheme and read perspective.”

    So his choice of QB coach may be critical. Not an endorsement as a QB coach. 

     

    He appears to be more geared toward, power man blocking schemes. That fits our personnel better.

    I don't watch much college ball. Can somebody tell me the pro's and con's to this? 

     

    All I know is:

    Pro's- Just won a national championship

    Cons- They regularly win national championships because of their defense. 

    Did they win this year because of the D or because Deboll had a true freshman quarterback ready of the bench.  Just sayin...

    I really hope that Castillo is gone, but I'm not so sure that will be the case, unfortunately. Castillo is a Reid/McDermott guy whereas Dennison had no previous working relationship with McDermott. 

     

    I want:

    OC: Chudzinski

    QB: Dorsey

    OL: Someone else

    WR: Someone Else

    TE: Rob Boras

    If is Chuzinski, you may end up with Sanjay Lal and Brian Schottenhiemer

    Here are the Indy Coaches.

    Sanjay Lal receivers coach.  He was well liked here, maybe what Zay needs.  Perhaps if it’s Chudzinski he will bring him along.

    Brian Schottenheimer could also be included, he has had success before.

     In a practical sense, I doubt Kubiak comes in if his buddy Dennison just got the boot after a year.

    Would Kubiak consider an Asst Head Coach for O and QB development, with play calling duty and Dennison stays on as OC? Maybe a viable solution.   

  8. More similarity to the 1980 team.  That year we finally beat Miami to breat that streak.  The fans stormed the field to tear down the goalpost.  We went to the playoffs after a seven year drought.  The fans stood in the cold and met the team at the airport.  Joe Ferguson played in the playoff game on a broken ankle.  Part of what created his legend.   Maybe Shady?

     

    The first Super Bowl was that feeling multiplied.  The response from our fans is unmatched.  The gathering to support our first Super Bowl loss,  the greetings at the airport, tearing down goalpost( happened more than once), the donation to Andy Dalton’s foundation,  no other fan base would do this.  Although newer generation, things have not changed.   Thanks to all for your passion.

  9. On the subject of punting and onside kicks. Here is article of a. HS who did not punt and used 7 variations of the os kick to win a state title.

    Some articles talking about punting.

    Go for it!

    From what I have read, it's not at all the amount of time he spends on the practice field, it's the tempo and the efficiency of how he runs his practices, which then translates to the tempo and efficiency that his team plays with on game days. Plus the NCAA has a lot of limits on practice time, too.

     

    For example...

     

     

    EDIT: In fact, doing a little research, it turns out that Kelly's practices are actually the shortest of any coach, and last two hours when college coaches use three hours. ;)

     

    This is a great article about the practices, with a couple nice tidbits. One of which is that the practices are so fast, even the team managers have to tape their ankles. ;) And that Gruden nearly took a job with Oregon just to learn Kelly's offense.

    John Wooden one of the most successful coaches in any sport expected the speed and precision of practice to exceed game speed. He wanted the game to be in slow motion. It afforded better conditioning, knowing assignments and reads better.

    I have seen him in video of practice comment when things were done right to just do it faster.

     

     

    He would use the phrase "be quick but don't hurry". With quickness precision is the when you hurry you become sloppy. I love the application of this to a football practice.
