I agree with you. I wont say its "non-existent", but im sure it does happen a lot. I know Tony has done his best to help younger players during his career to become better route runners. I think guys listened to him, it just doesnt always translate to the field. Coaches pick up certain players that fit their scheme as well as help mold younger players. Its a coin flip of whether or not it always works. The Patriots have done this type of thing for the last 10 years and it has worked pretty well. For other teams it doesnt always work that way. Right now our team, the Chiefs are doing this exact same thing, along with the Broncos. (McDaniels just isnt as good at it). The Mike Brown signing is very good because Brown is a guy that can play at the level of Pollard or Page, and will help push them in training camp to want to keep their jobs, and do better. Brown will not be our starting safety even if he plays better than Page or Pollard in TC. Hes only here to be a rotation guy and to come in during 3 safety packages.
