Perhaps Grandpa might want to show some support for his players on the line by getting in the face of an official. Andy too. If Andy is respected in the league, he ought to be able to get in an official's face not unlike Brady does. And all of out D line should feel free to lobby for a call, just like other team's WRs do on most pass plays.
It's the game within the game that we all too often choose not to play.
Andy wouldn't even know if there's holding going on, he's not watching the game when the defense is on the field. He's working with Pat. [Reply]
The fact that we don’t have anyone Competent enough on the defensive side to move up if we did fire Sutton should speak volumes! Every year we lose offensive coordinators. [Reply]
If we're looking for a young, up and coming guy......we should go after Clark Lea. First year DC at Notre Dame. I believe they're running a 4-2-5 right now, although I'm not 100% positive. [Reply]
