Thanks NYC!

How does the genius staff from last year miss such a massive drop in weight from the squad? Especially after Cutler’s weight loss you think they would have been all over it like a fat kid on a cup cake.
Makes you wonder what has been going on in Dove Valley the last 5 years!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

Good point boydy....

but it also illustrates that no detail is too small for McD to examine. It’s still too early to pass judgment, but I am increasingly impressed with our new HC.

Handling himself like the 25-year veteran of the sidelines he is!

Wesely Woodyard playing inside Saftey

Some players are learning new positions. Elvis Dumervil, Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder have switched from defensive end to outside linebacker. Wesley Woodyard, who was an outside linebacker, played inside linebacker Sunday.
