Suffice it to say, Cristobal realized that we don't have a 6th ring because our portal TE was unable to block on punt safe when Indiana didn't have punt block on and was applying token pressure. We will not lose another ship cause our TEs can't block.

Now hopefully, we won't lose a ship cause our TEs can't catch. 😏

Army you say, guess he’s not ready to be a marine yet

Probably easy to understand but not widely known, the Marines are the youngest braanch of the military by age of members. All they need is killers without being burdened with older job skill MOS's, like the other branches. Yes, a slight exagerationbut factually true.

Also, this hire matches well with Marios emphasis on character building. I am also thinking that a Mario led program is a good transition spot if he wants to coach "real" football. Is it possible that the Ibis is replaced by a blackhawk?

Go to 15:10 in the video. Bauman ignored the outside rusher here too. The Pitt player stopped. Indiana's player didn't.

You have to be careful here, or some of the football experts will show up to tell us how Bauman's "first priority" is to the inside shoulder rusher.

And while all of that may be true, I am just dazed by the overall lack of common sense. If you have THREE deep blockers, why do you double-team one guy (the guy coming up the middle) and then give a free pass to another guy?

Bottom line, three deep blockers SHOULD be able to handle three guys breaking through the line. Four or more? Who knows. But I'm not sure why you double-team one rusher and free up another rusher, particularly when you have an Australian style punter who usually "goes right".

Bizarre. Regardless of what the football "experts" say.
 
We have now brought in a former triple option QB to coach RBs (was Upshaw at GA Southern when Monken was there too? - just thought about that connection) and a former triple option RB/triple option OL coach to coach TEs. Makes you wonder what they're thinking behind the scenes or if there's something new they're incorporating there.

Also, speculating on assistant coaching hires is completely pointless now. Nobody mentioned either of these dudes the entire time. Corner will probably be exactly the same.

With the talent in our RB room, the three set RB packages we could do would just be unfair. Dawson & Co. can get real inventive there

Two things come to mind with this hire…

One…Mario a former OL who was a GA working with TEs and spent some time as a TE coach while primarily being an OL coach means he doesn’t see any issue with the transition.

And two he wants to get more creative with run blocking schemes and getting the guy with best OL from the service academies is a home run from that perspective

Viti also coached the FB position, so I think this hire is also meant to enhance H-back play as well.

Def valid, but that is our identity, whether we like it or not. He matches our identity perfectly IMO. I think this will greatly benefit our big TEs like Gilbert and Mueller. .02

I agree. I also would think that OL/TEs work together a ton anyway. When it’s time for pass catching work, the TEs would go to Beards group. I absolutely love this hire.
