Among the additional notes in King's tidbits, I absolutely loved this section and am compelled to cite it in its entirity:
RANT OF THE DAY: That belonged to defensive line coach Bryan Cox, who has absolutely no trouble expressing his opinion – in a loud, vociferous sway -- when talking to his players. At one point, he said while showing how he wanted them to position themselves in the 3-4 alignment, “I don’t know how you ran it in the past, but this is how I want to run it!”
Thank goodness a coach is pointing something out, because whatever we've been running the past several years, it has not been a successful 3-4 scheme.
For more notes provided by King, check out his post at the OBR here.
In another piece, Browns LB David Veikune made Rob Rang's list of the top ten players (amongst rookies) who made the most immediate impressions in May minicamps.
