Back during the assistant coach hiring process, many looked at the Jim Turner and subsequent Ben Martin hiring as Taylor only being able to get whoever was "left over" to take the position. Now, it seems like that reasoning couldn't be further from the truth. The more I read and learn about Taylor's choices of assistants, it becomes more evident that each and every one was selected with specific purposes in mind. Learning about Martin's history, and how he was teaching the philosophy of RPO's, before anyone else was running them, is very telling about his ability to visualize as a football coach. I'm glad that we have him, and I firmly believe that the OL is going to be a pleasant surprise this season.
Oh the offensive coaches definitely have a theme to them. They all have experience around Kubiak/Shanahan/Gruden and a specific version of the west coast offense. Imo, Dalton will be a great fit for that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
