Since they used the term "personal coach" i take it he won't be a Broncos employee. I wonder if he is taking the place of RW's former life coach.
Yeah maybe. Makes more sense than Jake Heaps coaching RW to be a better QB.

I wonder if he will live with Russell and Ciara in their house, like a Caito Cailin - OJ type of situation. :lol:

He has been coaching for years so I don't see anything new there, I guess now that he is in Denver heeps needed to quit his Seattle gig

He wasn't a successful QB but hit the jack pot in the important things in life.

you don't see platooning on O-Lines because they have to work together as one group, so continuity is more important than a small advantage in run or pass blocking. What you MIGHT see is a George Fant type situation where you essentially have 6 linemen.

The assumption behind the proposed scenario was that the advantage of using one over the other depending on the situation wouldn't be small. Besides, they can develop "continuity" during practices.

I would think continuity and working together would be significantly different on pass plays vs. run plays.

I'm not sure i understand what the issue is with regard to "continuity". Is that about getting plays in and lining up in a timely manner or about camaraderie or something else?

On running plays there is a lot of coordination in terms of blocking schemes so you would ideally have the same 5 guys almost blocking as one. The more reps with the same 5 guys, the better.
