Got a buddy who works for the team in the recruit analysis department (if that's even the right term). Currently looking at NFL scout jobs out of graduation. A real football X's and O's nerd type. Great high level football mind that I don't pretend to have.
We were talking earlier about the Addazio hire. The biggest reason he liked it as soon as he was told (several days ago) is that Steve fits Fisher's system. Jimbo wanted a guy who unlike Henson wasn't uncomfortable with coaching a line the way he wants the coached. Not that Henson or Fisher didn't get along, but Addazio is a much better fit for the program all said and done. This staff looks for run blocking first linemen with great power. Addazio is most comfortable with those guys and Fisher has the utmost confidence in him to develop the kind of line that fits the system. That's something Henson was never quite at ease with doing the way Addazio is.
My buddy and I are beyond excited to see the line really serve the purpose of the team and watch the maroon goons take the next step in helping this team begin to dominate opponents.
