...you and I need to stop finding common groud. The fact that we both agree with and value the WCO is downright disturbing. Although I prefer Walsh's model to the modern models run by Holmgren and Gruden. As a SS who moved to Mike I can't tell you how much I hate smart QB's who read and hit the flat...it just drives me nuts because in a standard Cover-2 that FB/HB has enough room to outwork the OLBs and in a Tampa 2 the CB is going to have issues taking down a bigger back. DAMN YOU SMART QBS!

Total sidenote but I really like what Andy Dalton is doing. I may not like them but I respect them.
