Our two hour show is rolling strong, some of the highlights and topics discussed during the show.
- Good, Bad, and the Ugly from Chargers and the rest of the AFC West
- Interview with John Butchko of Gang Green Nation. He said this was a slow week for Jets news!
- Norv vs Rex talk... plenty of it.
- Weekly NFL pick'em selections (you can enter the pick'em contest here). Plenty of toss up morning games this week.
- Michael Gehlken came on and told us that Norv is 8-3 coming off a bye week among other nuggets of info, including how he things Gates will be used.
All of that and more packed into one show. Keep an eye out for an HBR podcast during the week. As always, your comments are welcome in the thread.
John and I did get into a debate about how Norv changed the offense when he became the head coach. I say it was Norv's philosophy, John thinks it was out of necessity. For what it's worth, I attached a chart with the number of pass/run plays per year Norv has called.
If I had the time, I would have pulled the numbers for the Chargers when Norv was the OC and after he left. If you have the time, please feel free to post that info in the thread.
