Yeah. Why do we even need coaches on this team? Sure, maybe keep a couple of them to fart around with the playbook or whatever, but do we need position coaches at all? The players already know how to play! [Reply]

I expect FAU to be alot better and it will have very little to do with Tamba Hali.
Disagree. There is a lot of nuance to playing in the NFL, especially at DE. Raw talent can only take a player so far. A lot of success also is a product of technique which has to be learned. Who better to teach that than someone who has a very successful career playing at the same position as George and FAU? [Reply]

How is it a slap in the face to say a really good player learned alot from another player?

Before the Miami playoff game that was sub-zero, I actually ran into Tamba (actually he sat down next to me). I asked him how he would’ve felt playing in this cold weather. He told me he would’ve loved it because he used to sweat so much.
When he said it, I was incredulous. Now seeing that video? I think I understand. [Reply]

I am sure Mahomes would be the player he is today with or without Alex Smith. I don’t think he would have been as good as he was starting in 2018 and 2019 without having worked w/ Alex Smith. [Reply]

Yeah Alex Smith taught him how to sling it to all of those WRs when he threw 50 touchdown passes his first year. [Reply]

Yeah. Mahomes is a great teammate. He will tell you the back up janitor had a hand in helping him become the player he is today.
Had we let Mahoms play from day 1 and traded Smiff we would have 4 SBs instead of 3.
Tamba was a guy seeing ghosts and calling the cops routinely about it 5 years ago. Had some paranoia bouts so this is good for him. Being engaged in the organization. I hope the CTE doesn't do him in but being engaged like this has to help him cope. [Reply]
