Mike Singletary....."that's a coach I'm not gonna #$%^ with" LOL....they are all scared of him. I would be too.
Not just scared, but a lot of respect there, and justifiably so. Hard Knocks played it up well... one of the best at LB to play the game, former HC, and just in general.... Badass.
Couple of things that caught my eye with Ogletree.... since he is going to be THE Leader of that D. Singletary's exhortations with him to step up his game. He's right on the money with what I've always felt about AO. Incredibly gifted and athletic who flashes brilliance, but hasn't quite made either the commitment or extra effort to be great, to be the best every down. The second part of that was the in game cutaways between Williams yelling at AO to command that D, and yelling at the D to listen to AO's calls and alignments, and then watching AO berating and trying to fire up his D, and lastly Quinn trying to calm AO down on the sideline. Now granted, we are only getting to see what the editors of HK wants us to see... still, there are some things that need to get settled in that D before the season starts. And alot of that is going to be on AO's shoulders. He needs to mature very quickly. I didn't see the leadership I was expecting from him... just my view.
I have to agree with your take there, G.
On paper, Tree looks like a big physical upgrade over J Lau.
But the game isn't played on paper. From what I've seen in the 2 preseason games, Tree seems to be struggling. In the leadership arena and in the read and react arena.
And I'm not blown away with any of our backup LB's just yet, either. That's why I picked LB as my biggest positional area of concern in my poll thread.
