This is an awesome read! It's POSSIBLE that the previous coaching staff was working this hard to maximize the offenses potential, but I don't believe it for a minute. This brings to mind the 'checkers vs chess' comparison between last year's staff (and head coach) and this new staff.

Really looking forward to what this team looks like this season. I remember watching the Chargers play Cleveland on opening day back in the beginnings of the Coryell era. Nobody was paying much attention to them while Cleveland was touted as a playoff team. Fouts and co came out and literally blew their doors off - the vaunted Cleveland defense had no clue what to do against the Coryell's offense. Fun times!!

Very fun times ! Fouts/Kosar, Fouts/Anderson, Fouts/Marino.

They beat Cleveland on opening day of the 1981 season: the waning years of the Coryell peak era

I could be wrong but was that the old Aztec Brian Sipe that we beat?

It was a glorious game. A real beat down. I lived in Cleveland then and all I heard was about how great the Browns were. They were going to win the “Siper Bowl!” Fouts ripped them and Muncie went off, too. Hank the Howitzer even caught a TD pass. One of my favorite games.

I've been watching some college games and see they all have a kicker that kicks it out of the end zone. They also have been kickers that have made the FG attempts. The Oklahoma kicker made a 51 yarder - right down the middle and then kicked off out of the EZ.

So why can't the Bolts find a reliable kicker?

Bama's kicker has made 16 in a row.

44-14 It was in Cleveland too. Too bad that season also ended in Ohio cough freezer bowl cough.

Touchbacks definitely help preserve the health of depth players. And depth may be the kryptonite of our team. I’d be a happy camper if Vizzy booted every single KO through the EZ.

If Vizzy could even kick a TB at 70%, I'd be happy...80% I'd be ecstatic...90%+ I'd be jumping for joy...

With Facyson not making the cut that makes Samuel the starter at outside corner right?

If he hit 100%, would you stop coming up with goofy nicknames for players?

Harris and Davis, with Samuel in the slot?
