If Wilbert can coach Half as good as he ran while with the Eagles when they got to the SB with Jaws at QB, our running future is in Solid Hands!

It's not that the RBs haven't been a strength, it's that Martz never used them. Can't help that...not his fault.

Montgomery's more of an unknown. Matsko is an AWESOME hire...love it. That Chiefs OL has been the best in the league for a while.

Check THIS out.

After looking at Matskos bio and checking out the link above, I'd have to say we got somebody here that knows a thing or two about coaching and developing offensive lineman.

Our offensive line has been one of our weaker points for years IMO, and I think we got a good one here.

That's a great point.

Sweet, we have our very own Tom Emanski! Now we just need an endorsement from Fred McGriff, and we'll have back to back to back national champions!

Your kidding right. Montgomery is a major improvement. We will finally have a running attack

I was a little bit sad to see we didn't bring Tony Nathan back, I thought he did a good job coaching the RB group. But if Cam and John think this guy is better, then go for it.

Ok, so what did Tony Nathan do so terribly then?

Foerster I get, but I have never heard anyone complain about Tony Nathan until you right now, so what's your complaint?

We didnt run enough to control the clock,we never found a way to use both backs

These are not the fault of an assistant coach, it is the fault of the person calling the plays...

What I look at is the fact that 1) McGahee was an improvement over Jamal and had a better year, 2) Musa Smith looked very good as a 3rd down back, 3) Mike Anderson seemed to play ok at the RB position (ST aside, and I think there's something to be said that last year, our relationship with MA was a bit strange, I'd be suprised to see him back this year), and 4) Cory Ross looked amazing coming off the P Sq and having a pretty great game against the Steelers.

On the contrary, I think Tony Nathan did VERY well last year. But, like I said, I'm looking forward, not in the past. Welcome Coach Montgomery!
