As I see it and my eyes are old, but we have much younger ones with much more Foresight to share their own visions on the Lair.......Pitt has the Cooaches that will develop "Shades Of JJ Watts", with Partridge in the Pitt Tree! Coach CP is every thing one can see in Coach PN. after reading this i am still high on Pitt's Defensive Lines especially Taleni and Watts, yet I still can see Kam Carter has great motivation to prove many wrong on his second chance and if Carte Commits to Partridge Coaching, Himself, and Pitt? I am a tad worried on the Health Durability of Hendrix based on what i read. I am high on the sky of Pugh now that Partridge will be coaching him too. Depth is still a problem!
If Watson can do the same with QBs and TEs and Play Calling Timing on Game Days Pitt could be in for setting up a very Special Foundation for a very special year....Just a Hunch!
Excerpts:
The smartest coaches deploying the most talented players can fail if the most important ingredient is missing. After the first day of spring drills Thursday, Pitt defensive coordinator Josh Conklin called it "a certain swagger." He didn't say pointedly that last year's defense was lacking in that area, but he did admit the apparent problems can be found on a "two-way street" inhabited by players and coaches......Then, there's swag. Conklin said defensive line coach Charlie Partridge, in his second stint at Pitt, is the man to coax it from his players. "He's a great motivator, a tremendous teacher," Conklin said. "He brings great energy to those guys................"We do a study every year, and we look at how many fade passes were thrown," Conklin said. Usually, it's about 100. Last year, the number reached 144. "(Opponents) can't run the ball, so the fade ball becomes their best, viable option," Conklin said. "(Last) year was a 36 percent completion rate on the fades, which isn't good enough."
