It was a good read.. Plus its amazing how BB, Crennel and Mangini come from the same school and still use Parcells methods.. Players weight and size is important.. ANd how the coaches constantly mentally drill the players..

Thanks in advance, I'll read later. You're going to get a lot of crap, so don't let it get to you.

Great article. It's amazing how the same approach can work through different coaches and different teams. Get the right players in place, get the most out of your players. MUCH easier said than done.

The craziest thing about this article is : he signed a five-year, $6 million contract

Man, if that doesn't prove times have changed, nothing does.

I caught that too. I was wondering is that was real big money for coaches then. I assume it was.

Is there any organization with a more uncertain future, with caretaker owner James Orthwein suggesting that he might move the team to St. Louis or sell it to someone who would move it to Hartford , even as various proposals are made to build a multipurpose dome in Boston ? This is the challenge of NFL challenges.

Multipurpose dome. YUCK.

Man, did we hit the jackpot.
