Yeah, but they aren't NFL SS material athletically

Coop

Nah. He was out to prepare his kids for real life.

Good point that people tend not to raise

I agree. But this was from an outside observer comparing different coaching staffs,

The off season is the easiest time to be a fan.

You forgot the obligatory "new and improved weight training program" that is

Very true. Hence my decoder ring:

what? he's talking about new coaching staff's philosophy on getting players to

Totally agree. I posted a similar reply.

That was Bronco speak...

and when a Pro Scout says there is a difference?

Logic failure.

Is this like everyone's wife being hot and everyone's kids being above average?

That's great news. Then this should be the best year ever and next year will be even better

MaxxPower

Unfortunately, every other school is seeing the same improvement.

New coaching staff means a little more than usual
