Do you know a team that runs the football plays good D and works hard for their coach

I do.... they are known as the San Francisco 49ers and after many years of mediocrity they have finally broken out. They are coached by one of the best defensive players to ever play the game who came in and dismantled any prima donas on the team (see the Vernon Davis of two years ago and this years version). A team that runs the ball, plays physical D and wins out the grinders so far. A team that is doing all this without their top 10 pick this year because of not buckling in and handing this immature baby money that he is not slated for. A team that will only get better next year with a two first rounders (one of them being a top 10 pick) next year.

either way I am thoroughly impressed with the 49ers

I am too, but I temper that feeling a little bit.

If you don't get results, the "intense, in-your-face" act can have a short shelf-life. You can only give so many Knute Rockne speeches before the players eventually start thinking "I've seen this movie already."

For every Bill Cowher, there's a Ray Rhodes. At this point, Singletary could still turn out to be either one. I'm leaning positive, but the other is still possible.

Looking at the clip, on first glance it seems Singletary didn't put enough guys back into coverage to protect against the Hail Mary. Coaches normally have a boatload of guys back to knock the pass down. I saw only two in the vicinity of the receiver.

Will have to see the clip again to be sure, but if it's so Singletary and his DC need to take some blame for this loss.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
