I think Googs is still available to coach the o-line?

Cole Popovich. He’s a whole lot better.

 

[State]

The texans fired the OL coach and Popovich's contract expired so he did not get fired

Yeah. They had three coaches dedicated to the group. Too much.

Yeah that stuck out as odd to me. Popovich showed promise in NE but hasn’t really done anything in his 4 years since leaving as far as I’ve seen. Not sure on this one. I’m very curious who the end up hiring.

 

[State]

That being said hopefully we have a good to very good o line coach named soon

The most important decision from now until the draft.

 

[Zuma]

Popovich got the benefit of taking over a well oiled machine in the OL from Scar. IMO Popovich would not be looked at the same if he got the OL from someone else.

I think the fist strain of it was no Joke to some, my father in law was at the hospital and had to get some antibiotic ****tail. A friend of mine in NY was in the hospitali for 6 weeks and saw people getting rolled out in bags. I got sicker than anyone in my Family I felt like Crap for 2 months. And I was the only one vaccinated. My wife and kids beat it quick.

Really weird, what it did to certain people.

Yea. I'm grade A healthy, too. In shape (as much as an over 50 guy can be), no medical issues, etc. but back in 2020 I had soul-crushing headaches and was extremely congested. Headaches lasted for a couple of weeks and congestion was about a month.

I'm convinced if I wasn't vax'd I would have been hospitalized

Lost 3 friends because of COVID
It was no joke at first

I really want to know the story here. Is he looking at some kind of email directory or org chart or something? Pasteris is the guy who found that the NFL uploaded the Deshaun Watson suspension announcement to their site before anybody else actually reported it, so he clearly has some skill in that area.

Hopefully this doesn't mean that Pellegrino or baby Bellichick or out

It’s doubtful an “assistant DB” coach for a college program would be hired as a positional coach for a NFL team. Likely he’s been hired as a defensive assistant or a quality control position.

That is what I am hoping

Good James White interview - and he's in Foxboro for some unspecified reason:

This 77 year old was sick early on and when that happens I slept downstairs so not to spread it early on, I woke up on the tile floor as somehow I peed it was slippery and could not get up... very scary. When I finally did slept sideways cross the bed. During that first bout had one scoop of mashed potatoes in a 4 day period. Saw the Dr. after I woke up on the floor, he ordered I get the monocolonal antibodies, next day did so began recovery.
Have been vaxed since then, but have also gotten it 3X more once when I was in Ireland and they would not let me on the plane back home, so I quarantined in Dublin for 5 days on my own. Finallly tested negative and came home.
Without any restrictions my stay in Dublin was not a very bad time, but did get lonely.
No lingering effects.. fortunately.

Love the College aspect hiring: wouldn't shock me if our misfortunes at WR change now.

What's Larkin's 40 time?

 

[captain stone]

Now I'm hoping they fire the other lousy ass-istant coach who's going there too.

 

[captain stone]

I wish he had prior DC experience; but otherwise he checks off a lot of boxes...

We don't know if that's the case for sure. Let's see what Vrabel does (or maybe it's already done).
