Not to beat a dead horse, but considering our CB numbers (lol), he also had that as a major selling point and whiffed.

And BTW, I have it on good source that there was supposedly some issue (last year) with Banda's kids talking to Rumph and getting pointers from him "because he played in the league." I don't believe that being a former player means you can coach, but these kids feel differently. (They're kids.)...
