It amazes me that any team would ever go into a season without a FB. You need to have all options available from a game plan perspective.
:funny: I see what you did there...Pound it with Cox
Does this include all the unsubstantiated claims that he's a dirty player from a certain Alabama fan?
Love the move towards physicality and the focus on running the ball, we haven't been like that since the Sparano days. Not interested in returning to 9-play FG drives, though
Actually, this is the first time I've seen a ex Pat coach take as many coaches away from the Pats when taking a Head coaching job. This may be a little different. He's not just the only one with the Patriot way, He has a OC, DC, DB, OL, LB and TE coach all from the Pat's way. This may make it easier to install that culture. Plus he picked up an older coach, and OL adviser, and kept the DB coach and RB coach from the last staff. one created X and we know our RB's have been decent.Well, in fairness, many posters do point out, not only is our staff overwhelmingly inexperienced at their respective positions, aside from Caldwell, but former Pats have been underwhelming.
I don't necessarily agree, that our staff will be bad, but they have valid points.
I do believe, however, many underestimate the talent.
Can't wait to see what this looks like on the field. The idea that we are going to be more physical then we have been in recent years is music to my ears.
I agree. love power football. the bar is set very low currently though, we could plug and play some of us old fat guys and be more physical up front than we have been of late
Also, unless I am mistaken, Flores was in the organization longer than any of the coordinators that left, and has far broader experience, in several facets of the game.Actually, this is the first time I've seen a ex Pat coach take as many coaches away from the Pats when taking a Head coaching job.
