Howard Mudd is BACK
He's a roving I don't know what but he's working with the OLine so HOT DAMN
|
Hasnt he been away since like 2012? Not saying he cant do some good things. What is his position? Advisor?

I'm good with that. I think this type of role for him is better than the position of OL Coach. |
I can see Mudd installing some new run game concepts.
Bring the stretch play back, or outside zone...whatever you wanna call it. The play action off of that with properly trained OL is unbelievable. I would like to have the ability to line up in the I or the offset I when teams go small. I hate to say it, but that is one NE's biggest strengths...going old school to best new school defenses. |

He may talk to Frank about it. But doubt an assistant OL coach installs any plays |
The oline will be better for this hire imo. Good move. The other day I read some olineman say that his drills were the best since they were based on actual football moves.

Loved the guy first time around. Not thrilled he’s back. He’s old and been retired for 6 years. While his lines were great blocking for Peyton they were considered finesse. Hopefully that was only a function of the players he had. I want this line to build on its nastiness and hope Mudd doesn’t mess with it. I’m probably just paranoid but I loved watching this line and don’t want anything to mess with it’s attitude

Glad he is back
Sounds like he is kind of an all around consultant for the offense. Won't be calling plays or running the OL, but helping out in areas of need. Seemed like a muddled bunch of weird circumstances the first time he left. |

What I do like about last year was how the O line kept moving until the echo of the whistle. Now that was a Mudd trait. Finishing. Keeping your head on a swivel. |
I don't think "finesse" is ever a word that will be applied to Quenton Nelson

Mudd tends to get the best out of the guys he gets. You can't get enough good guys in a room. |
Of course finesse in reguards to an offensive line is violent. Not being finesse is all about attitude. Nelson talking to Castanzo being pissed because they didn’t put their man on the ground. Block was made but that wasn’t the point of their block. The point is not to make the block but to destroy the guy across from you. Come to think about it it’s hard to see Mudd not loving that

Here is an article from Chappell covering Mudd's introductory press conference. Reminisces a bit from his first "tour" and seems really excited about the current team and being able to work with Reich and Strausser.

The more talent on this team the better, and that's not just on the field. That's in the front office, on the coaching staff, etc..... so for them to bring him in is absolutely a positive for the team. Good hire.

And seems willing to fire the OL coaching Staff responsible for the OL that allowed the fewest sacks on the season to keep his players happy.
