Is he really such close friends with CKW, that Whiz will put his job on the line year after year?

I have seen absolutely ZERO improvement from our O-line during his tenure.. none, zip, zilch!

I dunno...pass pro is still poor....but even the third string guys were opening holes you could drive a mack truck through....the run blocking was very impressive tonight.

The third string guys haven't had their talent "coached up" by Grimm yet. :D

No excuses for Grimm but would DJ Young and Batiste be close to starting on any team?

Jesus couldn't get DJ Young to be a decent LT. Come on guys he's got players who were all 5th round and later to work with.

If I give u 1 egg and a cow tail and told u to make me a 5 star meal...could u?

He can only do so much with the talent he's given.

You do know he has say in which lineman we draft, right?

I don't even know how he keeps his job when guys like Chris Miller and Billy Davis had such short leashes. :confused:

Typical behind the scene politics at play here. :(

The only thing I really know about O-line coaching is that I can't do it. I may be the only one on this board. (lol)

The OL is terrible. Used to be that they'd just get whipped because they were inferior athletes to the guys lining up across from them.

Now we're actually going out of our way to miss blocks entirely and give them a free shot at the QB's.

Even a stationary Young last night would have been better. At least the defender would have had to run around him.

Technique is so bad across the board that it has to be on Grimm.

Someone google the best Olines of the past 15 years.

Find out the Oline coaches of those teams.

Find out if any are retired and living in AZ (you know theres GOTTA be at least 1)

hire him. You know hes bored and would love to get back into football.

Gary Kubiak, or Mike Sherman.

Wanted him fired for years. I was praying he was gonna get the Pitt job.

I think what's VERY important for people to realize is that the Titans almost never blitzed, stunted, or anything.

They wreaked all that havoc 4 vs 5. Just straight up beating the man in front of them.

God help us when teams actually start mixing it up.

Last night was epically bad.

Russ Grimm: Because we needed a white Joe Greene


Hall of Fame talent does not necessarily translate to coaching. Other teams have figured this out.
