A. It just struck me. Jeff Myers reminds me a lot of Dan McCarney. Not an exact match, but the same demeanor.

B. I had to rewind to make sure Coach Myers said that Grant Treiber was at RT.

C. Jake Remsburg likes to smile. I like players like that.

D. Darrell Simmons is huge.

A. And we are going to BEAT Iowa in second game, guaranteed! Not just the first half or the first three quarters either. The whole game!

Coach Myers' smirk when Randy asked him about comparing the current lineman room to when he got to campus... I don't think I could possibly get more intoxicated on 2021 season Kool-Aid

And then he very carefully didn’t denigrate those guys, but picked out the guys waiting in the wings who would be…passable…by 2019.

When I heard that, I wondered if he would make a good DT. Seems that's the place most big guys with quick twitch wind up.
I suspect that coaches’ standards for “quick twitch” for OL and “quick twitch” for DT may well be two entirely different things.

And besides, I still remember how awesome Randall McDaniel was blocking downfield.
