A Dog Named Brian Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Is there an NFL coaching staff for each team like the Senior Bowl? And if so, which NFL teams are they from? I tried looking to see who the coaches were but couldn't really find much out from a two minute searching session on my phone.

In the next game the coaches are Mike Martz and Mike Holmgren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin_Pernett Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) I fell in love with the Bowling Green center for the west team. Dude was a beast. I noticed him running down field blocking on a screen and decided I'd check out how he was blocking due to our obvious need. In the next fiew plays there was a play where Ochi got to the qb where the four other lineman were 5 yards back in the qb's face and the center had his man stood up at the line of scrimmage Edited January 24, 2016 by Colin_Pernett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
