I see people say that Chubb or other actually great running backs could’ve done as well or better behind that offensive line which might have been true but we live in a world where Michel was the one there and he came up huge when he was needed.

Ted Nolan of NHL fame got fired by the Sabres after winning COTY because Hasek said he wouldn’t play another game for Nolan.

It wasn’t just him, Edelman said it at year beginning about how the NFLPA doesn’t want them to succeed with how few padded practices there are and they don’t practice as a crew nearly as much now. Linemen need those practices to start gelling as a unit

There’s a lot of former players in not just this sport that think “Well if I’m going to get called and commit a penalty, I’m getting my money’s worth out of it.” If you’re going to get slapped with that 15 yards, you’d better nail the fucker for your efforts.

That said I just wish officiating didn’t reward playing like that.
