My point? Strength and conditioning is an easy target when things go bad, but I’d be willing to bet most strength and conditioning coaches are roughly the same and their success or failure is almost always commensurate with the talent they have to work with.

They just blew hugh holes for him to run through. He did a wonderful job on his own once in the second level of defense, but I didn't see him do much to have to get there. So, again, it'll be up to the foundation players to make things happen. Watched the McCoy highlights and was very impressed with… his Offensive linemen.

We (on this board at least) all agreed it was the equipment manager's fault. Yet, through such adversity, Paul Rhodes still manages to field a top 80 defense year in and year out. Today we salute you, Paul Rhodes, you have the "bending" part of the defensive strategy down pat. Half way there.
