Yeah, that's something I've been looking for. I have two servers in my office, and I make cut-ups. I'm looking for new concepts to teach and use if I ever do coach. Or when players and coaches come in, what's going on? What are people doing in the red zone, third down, short yardage? I was interested in Grubbs, the guy that went to Seattle early in the year.

They were shredding people, and I still think they do some really cool things offensively in Seattle. I do like Ben Johnson because I recognize the offense. I like what Cliff Kingsbury has done with Washington. And when you have a guy like Daniels, you can call any play you want. But their usage of those backs, they use two at a time, McNichols, Eckler, Robinson. It doesn't matter.

Rodriguez comes in, and they do an excellent job with the ball distribution. I like teams that use the tight end, Zach Ertz. They got a go-to receiver, McLaurin. They can run the ball. They can do a lot. So I can't wait for tonight's game because I want to see Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator of Washington, against Vic Fangio, the D coordinator of Philly, who's done a hell of a job.

Yeah, Vic Fangio can coach defense.

Yeah, Vic Fangio can coach defense.
You know what I think, too, is, well, Vic Fangio is a great teacher, and he hired, I think, a very good defensive staff. And when you go watch teams practice, you can see the coaches that are better developing players and teaching their system than maybe others. Fangio has a lot of young players on this defense. They're emerging. I mean, Nolan Smith, nobody realizes he's starting.

The kid, the linebacker, N'Kobe Dean, he's playing his butt off. Zach Bond is one of the best-kept secrets in the league. He was an on-the-ball linebacker for the Saints. I don't ever remember him playing inside linebacker. A rookie corner, Mitchell. A rookie nickel guy, Cooper DeJean. A lot of young guys that are really kicking ass in this system.

I think a lot of it has to do with the simplicity of it. It's not a ton of blitzes and 96 different coverages. But I also think he teaches effort. He teaches guys how to tackle, taking proper angles. They're very detailed. They're very disciplined. And there are no exceptions. Fangio is a hell of a coach, and he's hired really good coaches to help him.
