Doc Walker One-on-One Interview with Vinny Cerrato

Thanks for the comprehensive recap man, much better than a lot I've read in the past.

Glad to hear that there will be competition at PR and I wonder how Jansen is going to feel about Cerrato's quips on Heyer.

Nice post BHA. Not a whole lot there that I have a problem with. Nice to know we were looking at Mayo, wish we could of got him. I think Davis is going to add more to this offense this year as well as Kelly and Thomas. I understand the thinking about JT though I wasn't crazy about the move. Also glad to hear he understands the importance of getting younger. As far as who has the final say, the owner always doe's, but it's a bad owner in any business who doe's not hire good people and listen to them when it comes to decision making. He could come out and say DS has final say, but that may imply he's more involved in the selection process than he actually is. He said Danny doesn't watch tape or review film. Sounds alright to me.

Agreed; if Davis has a break out season though, are we really going to run that many 2 TE sets? I know Cooley was the top target last year, but not in the red zone by far.. You think he'll get fed up if he gets even less his way?

I think Cooley wants to win. Besides, he'd probably be open even more in a 2 TE set. Davis would certainly draw some of the coverage.

Obviously, but my point was one offensive player (RT) isn't going to instantly make the offense more potent but that additional player on defense can help in creating turnovers, improving field position and putting points on the board. A right tackle's not going to do that.

True but it might make a difference for us not 3 and outing.. or getting to the 50 and having to punt... or in scoring position, being driven back out of FG range, etc

the offense still has to take advantage of the situation given

Good for him, DS was busy not losing his money in a ponzi scheme or the stock market. More money for the no cap era!!!
Just in Six Flags haha.. I'm sure he went after it for the real estate value though

I agree with this. Against Pittsburgh, for example, our defense forced two TOs early on which gave the offense the ball at or inside the 50. What did the offense do? They had to settle for FGs. I don't care how dominant a defense is, you need an offense that is capable of scoring more than 10 points. After the midway point of the season 10 points a game was about all our offense could muster.

Despite popular belief Snyder is not the majority owner of six flags, that distinction belongs to one Bill Gates.

F that was frustrating. I mean it's easy to get excited about our defense going into this season and forget about what the big problem was last year.

We definitely still need to address the o-line. Just like the FO does, it's easy for us to get distracted. But if we don't have a chance to get one of the top guys on the o-line at 13, we might as well go defense or trade down. There are plenty of guys who should still be around later who can help us on the o-line. Just not to the same magnitude as a Mack or Oher.

I am supposed to believe that Stephon Heyer is "unbeatable" if he can only get his technique down right?

If that is even close to correct, then Stephon Heyer must be as dumb as a sack of hammers if he knows what will make him "unbeatable" but can't bring himself to do it. Bending one's knees is not exactly a complex undertaking for most humans. In fact, most two year olds have that one mastered.

Don't waste a lot of time parsing the sentences here. Most of it off-season verbiage which is rarely if ever critically analytical.

Oh, and for the record, Doc Walker was the guy last year who was absolutely certain that Jason Taylor would be unstoppable because teams would have to pay special attention to Carter on the other side. During the off-season, Doc should put on a mini-skirt and brake out the pom-poms and do a little dancing...
