Dr. Blitz making presence felt with Defense
http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/030216aaa.html
Harbaugh told reporters that Brown "was peeling the paint off" the walls of a meeting room at the practice site and called him "a ball of fire" during drills. The coach nicknamed "Dr. Blitz" goes after his players as surely as his players will go after opponents. "I'm a big pressure guy," Brown said in an interview with MGoBlue.com. "That's my shtick. We'll play about four different coverages. We'll do a good job of trying to disguise what those are. But whatever we play in our base (defenses), we'll play in our pressures. That lends to the learning for the guys. "Once they learn the coverages, they're going to fit into the blitzes." When his nickname was mentioned, Brown laughed and said it began when he was the defensive coordinator for the University of Massachusetts during its 1998 Division I-AA national championship season. "That's when the nickname Dr. Blitz became prominent," said Brown, 60. "When you play defense, you've got a choice. You will either feel pressure or you apply it. I'd rather apply it -- period, exclamation point."
Brown has to be chomping at the bit to have a guided missile like Peppers to work with...

My bits are tingling just thinking about the defense this year.
hopefully not from chomping!
+1 underrated
drats, I knew both are used and accepted. I decided on chomping as I was sure I'd catch a ton of grief and see a "in before the edit" from as least one poster that was sure I made a mistake. this board is too educated (at times).
Back off there buddy. Why don't you make like a tree, and get out!
I know people who think the saying, used to denote something being "very close" is "a hare's breath," like the respiration of a rabbit. It is, in fact, "a hair's breadth," like the circumference of a single hair.
than like its circumference. And while we're at it, could people start *honing* their skills and *homing* in on the truth, not vice versa. Thank you. Continue.

will be champin'.
"Champing at the bit" is the original/actual idiom despite "chomping" being used more frequently.
it's chimping at the bit, it comes from the classic TV drama BJ and the Bear, which itself was based on the plays of Henrik Ibsen.
I was never a high-level football player (played in high school only), but I would imagine that as a defensive player, it would be freaking sweet to basically blitz on every play.
I also never was a high-level football player (played in middle school and like a bunch of EA Sports NCAA Football) and I agree. Blitzing every time is fun. Especially when coach doesn't call your number and you do it anyways.
I loved me some Durkin, but I think I'm going to love Brown more
In my head I like to imagine you are talking about pickles.
In my head I imagine a rainbow scaled dragon like elephant flying from volcano to valcano spewing rainbow pickle lava into the earths crust which trickles down to the core heats up and then erupts in skittle flavored pickles and flourescent pickle juice lava. The local monkey population disapproves of this process.
A wife is what you make it too.
Lay off the mushrooms...
My love for Durkin came to an abrupt halt after the OSU game when we decided to run a defense we hadnt run all year designed to stop something that was unlikely to hurt us (Bartlett) and ignored their #1 weapon in Elliot. And anybody with half a brain KNEW the Buckeyes were going to feature the Hell out of EE after they basically ignored him the week before against MSU.
If you've ever worked with somebody who's decided to leave the company but hasnt gone yet you'll understand why "short-timers" are almost always shown the door once they give notice. The quality of their work generally goes straight into the toilet.
Like Durkin's did.

HE HAS A SHTICK! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lockdown corner + Dominating defensive line + All day Blitzes = A very excited BursleysFinest
I think he did more than tell you to get off his lawn - he peeled some paint with a "Git off my gotdamn lawn, before you get a Size 12 where the sun don't shine.!"
period, exclamation point
I swear you told me to me to get off your lawn one time or maybe that was a different Jason.

Just to be clear on this matter, and as a point of trivia for the blog perhaps, it is widely thought that due to some of the chemicals present in the koala's main staple, the taste of koala meat is decidedly unpleasant and its odor rather pungent. However, I assume that if you were clever with the marinade, the broth or spices, you might be able to make it work somehow.
You can't marinate a pound of shit into a pound of steak.
They're only useful as bait and fertilizer.
Fuck you guys, I'm delicious. I'm an acquired taste as most of you know. My meat is very supple and juicy. By me . . . I mean koalas in general. I've eaten a few of my own after battle, albeit raw. The marination process should breakdown most of the toxins for you guys though. I have marinated a pound of shit into a steak. It can be done. I can send you my shit steak recipe if you'd like. It's been featured on the Food Network.
Reminds me of what people say about some game meat or catfish. It's delicious if you prepare it correctly. My thinking is anyting that requires a 1 lbs. : 1 lbs. of meat to garlic/onions, etc. isn't a delicious meat to begin with.

So on offence there's the Power I formation....
On Defense, under Brown, will we just run the Power STACHE formation?
