Steve Young at QB for the Buccs

Yup, had a poster of him from Firstdown, a weekly paper about NFL back in the day. The Buccs were really bad back then too.

Titans have fired the Special Teams coach after last night's disastrous punting...

TBH, I think he has been looking for an excuse, every week he talks about how the Special Team must perform better, this was the final nail.

Wee bit of Scottish background to the "Brotherly Shove" if anyone is interested

In terms of banning it - I can't see how they could ban that specific play without making it an amendment of "assisting the runner" to also include propelling the runner from the side and/or behind. That would also put the kybosh on the recent advent of the "rolling maul" which seems to have appeared near the end of every other rushing play where the RB is stood up by one or more tacklers. I don't have a problem with this in theory, because I'm not overly concerned by either the effectiveness of, or safety concerns about the "Shove", but the fact the maul is obviously being coached into players does concern me. RB's have to be tough by their very nature, but I wince every time I see a guy the size of Austin Ekeler in the middle of a pack of 300llbs guys being pushed from both directions while his feet are still on the ground. It's a matter of time before that results in snapped legs, and I'd rather the league banned the pilling into the maul from the offensive side at the very least.
