This is a telling article from NFL.com on Matt, the Cards, and other coaches thought on Matt. It is certainly worth a read. Mitch, do you agree with much of this?

Gibbs left Seattle!

That is huge for us. He is one hell of an oline coach.

Dansby: The Anti-Haynesworth

Inside linebacker Karlos Dansby's leadership and energy have prompted some of his Dolphins teammates to say his addition might be the most important one Miami made this offseason. That's including the trade for wide receiver Brandon Marshall and hiring defensive coordinator Mike Nolan. Miami signed the former Arizona standout to a five-year, $43 million deal with $22 million guaranteed.

Now that's getting the backing of your teammates. Let's hope Other Brother fills those shoes in the regular season as well as he did in pre season. If he does he will have a great shot at DROY.

Gibbs left Seattle!

That is huge for us. He is one hell of an oline coach.

Gibbs as the author said has now retired on 3 different teams. I think it's pretty apparent he wants to retire but once he does he gets bored and decides to come back. I was kind of surprised when Carroll hired him for that very reason, Carroll's nickname at SC was Pom Pom because he's such an energetic upbeat person, Gibbs is a fabulous coach but always had a very different temperment, it just didn't seem like he would fit with Carroll.

The Matt stuff is interesting too, I think he'll eventually be ok in the Houston system the problem is Schaub is pretty good, unless he gets hurt Matt's chances to play are going to be few and far between.

This point was an excellent point from the article regarding Haley:

The silence from Kansas City and coach Todd Haley -- Leinart's former offensive coordinator in Arizona -- is more telling. If Haley thought Leinart would be effective in his system, a system he brought from Arizona, don't you think he'd be leaning on general manager Scott Pioli to bring him in behind Matt Cassel instead of relying on Brodie Croyle as the No. 2?
