Pats are teaching rookie OLs with Callahan methods

Good news. Bill Callahan is up there with Dante Scarnacchia as legendary OL coach.
Probably an improved approach over Adrian Klemm’s coaching

Rosebud? That you?

That was my thinking too. I felt very relieved seeing this.

Gotta be better than the Yates/Patricia/Klemm method that's for dam sure.

It is a nice change to have a clear plan for developing the OL, it has been nothing but chaos since Covid. In addition to having little experience as an OL coach, Patricia had to wear too many hats to focus on the job. Yates did nothing with the job and Klemm gets an incomplete due to his illness and frustration with the personnel department.

EDITED to correct content. Thanks Patsgofor4 & Dabruinz

Do the Eagles coaches use this sled? Whatever they do in Philly needs to be considered here.

Did Klemm even get his feet wet here last year?

Wait…there was method?

Wait…there was method?

Yes, there was. When a player had a question he was told, “We’ll get back to you on that.”

And they never did.

Not entirely true. He play C/OG for 4 years at RPI and then was the Pats assistant OL coach under Scar in 2005…but your overall point is well taken.

Hard to laugh, since you’re telling the truth.

Philly invested in their OL.

Every starting OL-man was drafted in rounds 2-4 except for Mailata...and Jason Kelce was a 6th round pick, but one of the better ones ever...and before that they spent a 1st round pick to acquire Jason Peters who is apparently STILL PLAYING...

So, they have homegrown talent....

The Patriots have tried for years to develop OL-men with various degrees of success....like letting Armstrong walk and drafting Matt Light in the 2nd, Stephen Neal was developed here...but we let him go to the Eagles before he came back, Dan Koppen was an underrated pick/player...5th rounder to starting C for years, we spent draft capital on Logan Mankins when everyone else thought we were crazy, Vollmer a German in the 2nd round was considered a reach then, Nate Solder was a 1st round pick, Stork was a great pick until concussions hit him, Dave Andrews...an UDFA!, Shaq Mason in the 4th was a home run, as was Thuney in round 3, Marcus Cannon grew into a solid player, Ted Karras was another homegrown player that we couldn't keep around, Wynn could have worked out here if not for injuries, IMO, and Trent Brown was a good FA signing twice....

So, I say it was mostly talent...not coaching nor how we practice...

Not sure how you came to that conclusion from your previous paragraph. You listed a lot of unheralded picks that turned into solid contributors. Theres a reason Scarnecchia is as well respected as he is.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew that he played OL, I did not know that he had any coaching experience.
