Whatever costs Mike the least amount of $ is what he will do. He trying to make it hard for Carson to retire.

Just like Mikey wanted to convert a defensive end to tight end, Mike asked Marvin if he thought the trainer could take over playcalling duties.

YESS!! Looks like Palmer applied the correct pressure point.

Don't know anything about Zampese- isn't he Carson's buddy? Carson's little brother and Carson's buddy. Hmmm.

Katie Blackburn is also a candidate, as she played a little touch football
while at Dartmouth.

WHO else would want to go to Siberia???

I will volunteer for the spot. I was awesome with the 85 bears on Tecmo Bowl.

However, I will say the playbook was limited to 4 plays...

Bob Bratkowski's last stand calling plays was the first half of the Senior Bowl. He led to North offense to 3 total yards on 15 plays that resulted in 4 punts and an interception.

Take a bow, Bob.

And when Mikey told Lebeau, to quit calling crossing pattern drag routes for Akili Smith, and LeBeau said "Mike it is the only throw he can complete".

Reminds me of David Verser. They used to say he only knew one play too.

Well that would be an upgrade from the 3-play Bratworst playbook.

1st and 10- Strongside rush for 2 yds
2nd and 8- Weakside rush for 1 yd gain
3rd and 7- Flat route pass for 3 yds

That was the play calling inside the red zone, at the 12 yard line. And sometimes a fade to Chad, I think they are 1-25 on those fades.

Well I guess that eliminates his chances of getting an OC job at the college level.

That's about one more than Bratkowski ran, so you are more qualified!
