dave mcbride Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writ...king/index.html lots of money quotes, but here's one: Some teams feel they can cure their problems along the offensive line by bringing in terrific line coaches. It doesn't work. "You can't coach bad players," Giddings (director of Pro Scout, Inc.) says. But they fall in love with them. Most of the OL coaches will agree that no other position coach on the team gets as close to his players as they do. Maybe it's because it's a unit that has to work closely together, or perhaps the reason is that these guys usually aren't great athletes, so there's an over-achieving factor they all share. But the players and their coach are tight, sometimes too tight. Sometimes the coaches like their guys so much as people that they become blinded to the fact that they're not very good players.

Mark VI Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Parker should know about bad Offensive Line play. That's like asking Randall Tex Cobb about how to take a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't think I am an OL Expert, but if you play for two different teams and BOTH make it to the superbowl...I don't think you exactly suck.
