The Unpaid engineering BIll

I really enjoy Billy Belichick's interviews. He is the smartest guy in football in my opinion. I mean smartest overall which is the comprehensive combination of both book and football intelligence. He is sometimes short with the media because he is like the nerd who gets annoyed with normal conversations. He basically has the personality of an engineer and he even dresses like one. He can talk about football stuff all day and all night to intelligent football people. He is not gifted in speaking about love, life, and art though. People need to get over it. Listen to his interview here to get a grasp of how detailed he answers questions. He explains things in profound football detail. He is like a savant because he can't function in real life but is flawless in football thinking. He and Norv are probably two nerdiest coaches in the league. They are following in a close second by Brad Childress but he looks more like a molester than coach.

Listen to Bill HERE.

Revenge of the Norv

As you know, I'm a big fan of people reaching or overshooting their potential. It has been quite enjoyable to watch Norv develop these last two weeks. Norv is not charismatic ok! He does not lead in a "Man-ish" sort of way. He is more like the squeaky and clever old grandma that is always getting good deals. It can be annoying but you still have to respect her because she was always right. Norv is like that in terms of leadership style. Somehow, he survived just long enough for his intelligence to display its benefits. I think it's due to the wildfires and various other team bonding turmoils. Those experiences gave the team time to buy into what was being presented to them. The sleeper has awakened. Norv's warrior-inside has emerged.

AJ Smith deserved the extension he just received. He has done a greatjob. He had to weather the storm also. Martyball is dead. Cromartie is the X factor. If he can cover Moss on the deep stuff 1 on 1 they can win. He is probably fast enough to keep up with him. He might be like Aeneus was on Irvin. He used to jam Mike up.

Don't sleep on Weddle. He may be a good match up for Welker. He is just as smart. He is going to be solid.
