Was there a time where you were working with Nick where you had a moment of realization where you thought to yourself, this guy has a chance to play on Sundays in the NFL?
The time for me was the whole covid shutdown. The way he was working, he was back in Cleveland, there was snow on the ground, he had half the driveway shoveled. He was doing footwork drills in the driveway, doing pass sets in the driveway. He was sending me videos working out just getting after it, sending videos squatting almost 600 pounds for reps, heavy benching, just changing his body.
When he came back after that, 4,5,6 months that we were gone, his shoulders were wider, they were like bricks. His biceps were more defined, triceps were more defined, more of a barreled chest, flatter stomach, bigger butt. You just saw him take that so serious. The videos, texting me about film and everything.
Over that time, all the work he put in and all the input he wanted from me was just great. And then when he came back, thats when I really noticed this guy is serious, and how do I not mess this up.

Fascinating. Maiocco just said that Scot McCloughan had asked his medical staff to change (doctor) the medical report for Frank Gore so he could justify taking him in the 3rd round.
Ummmm...what?
It makes you wonder if that's one of the reasons our medical staff has been so horrendous here for ages now: "What shoulder? What knee?"
No wonder so many go outside the organization now.

Reminds me of the "what shoulder?" question when Reuben Foster was drafted.

Yup. It's important to keep continuity with the teams that support the most perpetually injured team in football annually.

Shanalynch have used three different staffs in five seasons. Hasn't changed a thing. Why would a fourth?

Fair take. It really doesn't seem to matter.
