QuotePHDram . a production assistant found this "highlight" and told baldy to analyze it. Baldy has been doing this for many years, it's his thing. And the reason he shows one or two plays is that is all the fan base has the attention span for (my opinion, anyway) so he does a 4-5 minute package for the web.

After being injured in 2014 and 2015 he's rebounded well in terms of pass rushing, for those who like PFF (I don't like their grades but their unique stats are good) he's avereaged over 50 pressures the last two years, pressures are sacks, but QB hits, plus hurries.

1. Do you personally feel that McVay is on the same level as Mangini as far as coaching ability goes? I'm not talking about overall records, I'm talking about as an overall coach.

I think in gerneral Barron does well in coverage, here, is one argument against him as an OLBer or ILBer...everyone makes mistakes, so I am not goign to harp, but he has to make some kind of play here.
