Quoteeach student had to submit a "problem puzzle," a real-life situation from their workplace, before class started. Brooks' submission asked how he should talk to a younger player about concussions.

"Brandon's going to do really good things," Rude said.

Rude has taught one other NFL player: Kevin Donnalley, a former Houston Oiler. Donnalley's problem puzzle asked how the team should handle the defensive coordinator taking a swing at the offensive coordinator on the sideline during a game.
Ha!
Side note, Kevin Gilbride was the Giants OC just a couple of years ago.

Would have preferred Allen at this price or getting a Guard in the draft but overall they upgraded so I'm happy about that

So they just need one more G now and maybe Bradford can stay alive this season.  If given time in the pack, I can see Bradford having a good season.

Problem is Peters is more likely than not to be hurt a good bit, not to mention other injuries along the line and they have little depth to protect a frail QB who doesn't get rid of the ball quickly (though maybe with the WCO they will get back to emphasizing hot receivers, screens etc). On the other hand they obviously need a couple of years minimum to rebuild to a deep playoff potential despite Howies impressive exorcism of Chip's ghosts, so they can't do it all at once. I'm still uncomfortable without an upgrade to Barbre in there, though.

Yep, Peters' health scares me almost as much as the depth on the OL

QuoteO'BRIEN ON BROOKS

Texans coach Bill O'Brien had glowing things to say about guard Brandon Brooks, who the Eagles signed to a five-year, $40 million contract two weeks ago.

"They're getting a big, big guy -- a guy that has some versatility," O'Brien said of his former player. "He can play different positions. He's a right guard, but he can play tackle in a pinch. He can play center. ... He's, in my opinion, a prototypical guard. He can drive block, he can pass protect three-techniques that are athletic guys. He can pull. He's smart."

So why didn't the Texans, who replaced Brooks with free agent Jeff Allen, retain him?

"Well, I think we tried to," O'Brien said. "We wanted him back. They won the bidding war. We wanted him back."

Does this happen to other NFL teams? It's like Shawn Andrews again
