If you want to start feeling old - Jason Taylors son was just drafted by the New York Jets. 

 

What happened between Jason and UA?

Paul Lewis III and DJ Irons played for the Wroclaw Panthers of the European League.  Lost their playoff game tonight.

Chase Blackburn is the Special Teams Coordinator for the Rams. He got destroyed on Pat McAfee today for a fair catch that occurred in last night's game against the Bengals.

 

*Warning: Language*

 

 

 

 

Blackburn fired

He'll be fine. 

[MDZip]

After watching even more special teams gaffes from the Rams in the playoffs, I don't think this was all Chase's fault.

I honestly didn't even realize he was coaching for the Ravens. But this is great.

[LZIp]

Make that two former Zips on the new Browns staff. Was there the same time as Switzer.

Another former Zip in the mix. He was our DB coach in 2019.

 

I've lost count at this point, but it seems like almost every hire by the Browns has had some connection to Akron.

 

Who would have thought we'd be a coaching powerhouse? Not me...

I don't really know enough about him to weigh in, but I hope his scheme is similar to what the Browns have been running.
