I hear where you are coming from. And I truly do admire it, it's very Hokie of you.

I don't feel that Rocco and I have been heard. It's not just the stats. Auburn was a dumpster fire, at least some of that is on Loeffler...right? (they went from 122nd to 12th in a year!) Temple was good, but he was running Addazio's system....with Addazio there to guide him. As a QB Coach, he led the John Brantley quagmire that resulted infamously in Urban Meyer faking a heart attack. The year prior, he was tasked with making Tebow an NFL passer....the NFL has since ruled that he didn't do so well with that task. The year before that, Loeffler was the QB coach for the first 0-16 NFL team....I'm not sure what their QB situation was that year, but it probably wasn't good. You can look at each of these situations and have a different interpretation of each event. That's what has been happening here, interpretation of events. I tried to use stats to root out that qualitative component, but if we want to get to an analysis of the context, there is a lot of context on our side as well.

You can look through his resume and conclude that its not real flattering. So this goes back to when he was hired. If you were skeptical with the hire, he has done nothing to persuade you otherwise.

At the end of the day, we want him to succeed. We have a once-a-generation defense, we need Loeffler to succeed enough to not get in its way.

Hmm...

Just kidding Diehl, you know I love you.
VTim, you're actually one of the reasons I started making trailers in the first place. Love your work, and love this one. Needed something fresh to watch as we're "only" 17 days away, and now I'm pumped as hell!

The player. The school wasn't convicted of rape. Or of anything else.

It's more about the trend in teams recruiting nationally now. If you're a top HS senior most top schools are sending you info or visiting you if you're on their half of the Mississippi River

Percent of recruits signed from instate of the college 2012--2015

VTech - 60%

Clemson - 35%

Stanford - 23%

Auburn - 28%

Wisconsin - 26%

Nebraska - 9%

Ole Miss 44%

UGa - 52%

Watch Gruden's QB breakdowns that he does for the rookies. He brings them in the film room, talks with them and breaks down their game. Then they go outside and run a few drills.

Chucky was pretty critical of Mariota before the draft, remains to be seen how he performs over the next few years. Had praise for Bortles (big arm, good pocket presence) and Bridgewater (great understanding and ball placement). A little critical of Winston too, said he locks onto receivers, doesn't always make progressions and ad-libs too much; same criticism of Manziel come to think of it.

I like his enthusiasm and his Xs and Os. He's a young John Madden, a real color commentator.

Punt returns aren't a true show of straight line speed until you get past everyone. Kick returns are. Different qualities are needed for the two because of how blocking is set up and your position in respect to defenders. For punt returns, you will probably have to juke out one or more defenders before you can break the long gain, but on kick returns, you follow your blocking running full steam ahead to gain as many yards as possible. Just my $0.02, but I agree with the fact that Braxton might be slightly better on kick returns due to straight line speed and cuts. Not sold on shiftiness on punt returns

Bettter yet, Chucky said Tyrod was the biggest surprise of the preseason.

I'm assuming he meant among all the teams, not just the Bills.
