Special Teams/Defensive Line Coach Job Posting
This is worth your time examining. Particularly the specific pairing of Defensive Line coach with Special Teams. Isn't that suggestive of an identified candidate? Why would you pair those requirements if you haven't already made specific steps towards staff formation? Otherwise, you're...
Protect Your Head: NFL Preview Part II
A couple of additional thoughts on the depth chart, if it's true that Calvin Howell is worried about his propensity for concussions I'm on board with whatever he chooses to do about it.

The Mountain vs. The Barbarian
