Do people honestly think that Gilbane-Turner construction, because they are behind schedule and needing to create a pretense for stopping work, wouldn’t/couldn’t come up with something better than finding graffiti? Really?

That one catch for 12 yards he had against us sure didn’t mean much at the end.

Hadrian would like a word.

From Boo Radley to Tom Hayden to Gus McCrae to Cash and every character in between and after, he was truly one of the greats. Travel well, Mr. Duvall.

Are there two cats in the yard?

Culture embodies far more than one person and secondly, the locker room culture is entirely different from anything a coach brings to it. Coaches just aren’t part of locker room culture. It is strictly the domain of the players, especially a room that has been established for years by the veterans on the team. If we were a younger team trying to establish that type of culture, I may feel differently about a coach like Vrabel coming in and putting his stamp on it.

Depends entirely on whether or not a particular 34 scheme requires two gap or one gap responsibilities for the DL. From what we know about Leonhard, he favors an attacking, quick penetrating scheme, so one gap techniques will be used more frequently than not. As such, those behemoths aren’t required as often. That doesn’t mean you won’t carry one on the roster because you want that guy on the nose playing both gaps in certain situations like short yardage, etc.

Hyped by whom, exactly? The talking head pundits and draft experts who were too busy creating their “too inaccurate, gonna be a bust” narratives? To the people who actually get paid to scout and evaluate talent, his mobility in the pocket and running ability was well known. And much to the dismay of those clueless pundits, Allen was always considered a top 10 pick in the draft going back to his junior year at Wyoming.

Definite no. Good coach or not, this is not the team for him as we have a firmly established culture and locker room leadership.

It’s worth remembering that at the time that video was produced, the stadium still hadn’t been fully enclosed and that was actually mentioned by John Polka in the video. We need to wait until all the construction is complete, both outside and inside, to fully gauge the effectiveness of the wind mitigating design features.

Game management is job one for any QB.

Never gets old.

Oliver can play any one gap responsibility along an odd man front. I suspect Leonhard knows this. You don’t improve by subtracting your better players and Oliver is certainly one of them. The only way I can see him being moved is in a trade for a player of better value and I’m not sure that’s out there.

Travel well, coach.
